[Gordon Flett]

    Pretty incredible what is going on up in Carnaby right now.

                             August 9, 2003
                      More arrests at Carnaby today
        80 year old First Nations grandmother chained herself to
                                 trucks

     Dan Veniez Manager of the New Skeena tried to remove equipment
     from the Carnaby saw mill in Hazelton. The workers have been
     out of work for 2 years and are still owed about 3.7 million
     dollars.

     First Nations and CEP workers proudly stood together to
     prevent the equipment from leaving the site to be sold off by
     Dan Veniez. As the RCMP arrested one person, another person
     would step in to their place.

     If you went into a bank and took $20,000.00 out at gunpoint
     the RCMP would go after you. But if you take 3.7 million
     dollars from people you do not even have to wear a mask, and
     the RCMP will be forced to help you.

     WHAT CAN YOU DO?

     * Send Mo Azaz, President of Local 404, a message of
     solidarity by email to mo at bulkley.net
     * Email Dan Veniez at VeniezD at Skeena.com and tell him he
     should sell the mill to the people like he said he would.
     * Contact B.C. Minister of Forests Michael de Jong by email

     workers.
     * Send funds by check, bank draft, or money order, made out to
     CEP
