8 Castlegar News November 27, 1988 BUSINESS Election lifts trade talks WASHINGTON (CP) Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's election vietory could improve the odds of success during international talks in Montreal next month to liberal global trade, U.S. politicians and trade experts predict, The Progressive Conservative majority victory in |enday's vote assures that Canada will ratify the free-trade deal with the U.S., and officials say that could benefit the meeting of world trade ministers. In Montreal talks will’ be held under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the 96-country compact that governs world trade. Discussions began in Uruguay in 1986 and are scheduled to conclude in 1990. If successful, the negotiations would provide new rules to regulate trillions of dollars in world trade until the turn of the century. S. political leaders said Mul y's vietory lends momentum to GATT negotiations, bogged down over U.S. demands that the world's food-exporting countries agree to phase out government farm subsidies. Worth about $150 billion US a year, such subsidies have been blamed for distorting global food trade, driving down world grain prices and decreasing export mar kets for Canadian and QS. grain President Ronald Reagan said ap proving the Canada trade pact will be a “positive factor” in helping both countries to open new world markets and remove trade barriers. LEADERS MEET John Heinz, among powerful U.S. senators who will attend the Dec. 5 talks, said Canada’s approval of the free trade deal will greatly stren gthen efforts by the U.S, and Canada Country crafts growing By STEPHEN NICHOLLS Canadian Press It's only a hobby now, but Allison Hinds hopes to craft a business from her basement of stuffed animals, home-made dresses, dried flower ar rangements and twig wreaths. “It all started when a girlfriend gave me a macrame cord and a book when I was 10,” says Hinds, now 24 and an accomplished country crafts man on the outskirts of Toronto. “I'd really like to do this full-time if I can get a big enough clientele.” That shouldn't pose a problem — the demand for homespun crafts is huge these days. Just up the road from Hinds, in Markham, Ont., the Country Decor ating and Collectibles Show attracts thousands. Last year, for the first show, organizers expected to draw 5,000 people over two days. Instead, the fire marshal had to close the gate when 3,900 turned up in the first two hours; 14,000 attended in all. The slickly promoted One of a Kind craft show in Toronto has ballooned from 800 visitors when it opened in 1974 to more than 120,000 during the 10-day event last year. “T've heard of people walking out of One of a Kind with $40,000 from one week (of sales),” says Ted Rickard of the Ontario Crafts Coun cil. START BUSINESSES hat we've noticed is there are lots of people starting small (crafts) businesses,” Rickard says. “We're seeing more and more craft items business turning up in magazines like City and Country Home, as part of the decor ations — what the ‘beautiful people are putting on their walls.” And so-called country crafts are catching on with city slickers. “As our life gets more high-tech with the stress of everyday business, people are wanting old-fashioned values,” says Debra Russell, produ cer of the Markham show “An old-fashioned, comfortable home is where they want to be. They use country decorating to bring warmth, character and comfort to their home.” “It's a reaction to a high-tech society,” says Anna Hobbs, crafts editor of Canadian Living magazine. “A lot of people are searching for that balance in life.” For many people, the craze for crafts paying for other people's handiwork “There's been a great interest in handicrafts from a collector's stand point,” Hobbs says. “Yuppies not only want to collect things, they want to be able to talk about them know ledgeably. The craft becomes more of a collectible art object.” Even companies are buying crafts for corporate collections. “The attraction of the stuff at the craft show is that it's handmade, an original,” says insurance broker Don Anderson, whose firm has bought several samples of craftwork for its Toronto offices. “You're supporting a fledgling industry and getting an object of beauty means Weekly stocks TORONTO (CP) — Expectations of higher oil prices pushed the resource. heavy Toronto stock market up and the New York market down Friday The Toronto Stock Exchange 300 composite index rose points to close at 3,275.00 in moderate trading, stretching the total gain for the week to 53.92 points.

Heinz, whose family founded the U.S. ketchup company, said some countries would have seen a Mul roney defeat as a repudiation of the free trade philsophy. Those countries would have used it as an excuse to pursue ‘illegal trade practices and keep their markets closed, he said. “Had the Conservatives lost and the free trade deal collapsed it would have absolutely crippled the Urug: uay round and undercut any pros: pects for advancing’ the negotiations in Montreal,” said Heinz, a Pennsy Ivania Republican The free trade agreement was the major issue in the election campaign. Liberal Leader John Turner and NDP Leader Ed Broadbent both fought against the deal, but both say they will do nothing to try to stop it from being passed. Mulroney has said he will recall Parliament the week of Dec. 12 to discuss the free trade deal. Both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives have already ap agreements governing areas like in. vestment, trade in services and the settlement of international trade dis. putes, Besides phasing out tariffs and other barriers to merchandise trade between Canada and the U.S., the trade pact broke new ground by easing curbs on U.S. investment in Canada and removing barriers to trade in services like insurance and banking. Moreover, it set up bi- national arbitration panels to resolve trade disputes between the two countries. The U.S. government has been using the GATT talks to try to pry open European and Japanese mar- kets to American goods and services and end an international agricultural trade war with Europe that has caught American and Canadian far. mers in the crossfire. Although the U.S. absorbed nearly 75 per cent of Canada’s $233 billion Cdn in two-way trade in 1986, Japan and Europe made up a big chunk, nearly 15 per cent, worth $31 billion. proved the agreement Senator Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat who will also attend the Montreal talks, said he hopes passing the trade accord “will open the door to further trade expanding agree ments.” Jeff Schott, a Washington econ omist who studied the Canada-U.S. deal, also says the accord may boost the GATT talks.

All you can do is play your best, if you change your style to try and match someune like Gretzky your game will suffer.” Walker says NHL ice time is a precious commodity for himself and other ming system substitutes. The six-foot, 190-pound winger says he has to continue to play well stay with L.A, That one goal may have given him the slim winaow of opportunity needed to find a permanent spot on the Kings’ roster. “When you get called up you try and make the team,” he said. “It's hard to do when you get limited ice time so when you get a break and score, you're going to get more ice time and more of a chance to prove yourself.” He got the call because L.A. was down to 19 players on the active roster. They were going to dress seven defencemen for the game \jand they needed a forward. He played 10 shifts that night, partnered with Gretzky and Bobby Carpenter in his first shift and numerous other Kings later on in the game. Kings, he went into Wednesday night's contest against the Detroit Red Wings with that in mind. It worked out better than he had hoped. In his first shift as a Los Angeles King, Walker was on right wing when he received a patented Wayne-Gretzky-from-behind-the-net-pass. He stuff. ed it past Greg Stefan. “The Detroit defence had him hemmed in behind the net and he just put it out to me,” he said from his hotel room in Detroit the day after the Kings 8-3 victory. “It was a bang bang play.” back with a bang So how does it feel to jump onto the ice with Wayne Gretzky? “It was a little bit of a surprise,” he said of his first shift with Gretzky and the Kings. “It's a good feeling. But whfther it’s Gretzky or anybody else on your line, youfjust try your hardest, always.” The 23-yeay-old’s fourth-line status may not give him the ice ti he wants with the Kings but he's going to use eve inute of it to his advantage. “We'll probably be going with three lines so that means I won't get to play much,” he said..“But I'm going to make my breaks whenever I can to show that I belong.” At this point Walker is still unsure of whether ~ he will actually carve himself a permament spot on the Kings’ active roster. He is still at the mercy of that unenviable situation where a coach, at any time, may issue him his marching papers for the minors. It's a thought that doesn't sit well. “I'm sitting here wondering how long I'm going to stay. There aren't any other players on the active lineup that will be called back to bump my position so if | get replaced, it will be by another player from the farm system”, he said, adding that he is confident he ‘can prove his worth to the Kings. “I think if I can continue to play well, I will stay.” I hope for Walker's sake, the Kings like what they see. He's spent enough time on the buses to know that good things come from, hard work. With that kind of attitude, I figure the Kings can't lose.

The slick, sleek wide receiver for the B.C. Lions — who in his first season tied a CFL record with 18 touchdown receptions — edged out all-around offensive threat Earl Winfield of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for the top Schenley Award on Friday night. But Williams has another goal in the league final today against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. “With all the great players around me, it makes my job and Matt Dunigan's job a lot easier.” Williams, a Los Angeles native released by three NFL teams before joining the Lions this year, caught 83 passes for 1,468 yards. His 18 TD catches tied the mark set four years ago by Brian Kelly of the Edmonton Eskimos. The other Schenley winners were Orville Lee, Ottawa Rough Riders, top rookie; Ray Elgaard, Saskatche wan Roughriders, top Canadian; Roger Aldag, Saskatchewan, top of fensive lineman; and Grover Coving ton, Hamilton, top defensive player.

I knew I'd miss that. You don't have a group any more that is yours.” New-look Lions romp into contest By GRANT KERR Canadian Press OTTAWA The rebirth of the B.C. Lions is the direct result of a strong working relationship between head coach Larry Donovan and Roy Shivers, the team's player personnel director. The Lions will have on their active roster for the Grey Cup today against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, 19 players who weren't with the team at the end of the 1987 Canadian Football League season. The turnover was necessitated by the implemen. tation of the $3-million team operating caps this year which cost the Lions several veteran players. Shivers was given the responsibility of replacing many expensive import players after general manager Joe Galat trimmed the roster. Working with Donovan, who wanted more speed in the lineup, Shivers set out to recruit players for a club that would eventually claim the Western Division championship with nine new starters on offence and seven on defence. “The only thing I had to offer was a chance,” Shivers said Friday. “I was selling the opportunity to play pro football, but without a long-term contracts.” Shivers must have done his job well because the surging Lions take a five-game winning streak into the title game of the CFL playoffs. The Lions added breakaway speed on offence with wide receivers David Williams, who won a Schenley Award as the league's most outstanding player, and Eric Streater, in addition to running backs Tony Cherry and Reggie Taylor. The defence was bolstered with Mack Moore at tackle, Jeff Braswell at middle linebacker and secondary players Anthony Drawhorn and Marcus Thomas. B.C. also added more quickness at the quarterback position, changing from the straight dropback action of predictable veteran Roy Dewalt Galat signed rookie pivot Rick Foggie from the University of Minnesota — Shivers said he was the only newcomer to get a signing bonus — then acquired quarterback -Matt Dunigan from the Edmonton Eskimos. “This was the first time a wholesale change was needed because the former coach (Don Matthews) was satisfied with the status quo of the veterans,” added Shivers. The refitted Lions won their last three league games to finish at 10-8, then kept winning in the playoffs, beating the Saskatchewan Roughriders 42 18 in the Western semifinal and Edmonton 37-19 in the division final. Galat, former coach-general manager of the Montreal Alouettes, appointed Donovan head coach late in the 1987 season. He promoted the defensive line coach after a series of philosophical differences with Matthews. The Lions won their last four league games under Donovan for a 12-6 record and first place in 1987, but were upset by the Eskimos in the division final 31-7 Pressed to analyse the head coach, Galat said: “I'd give Larry an A-minus or a B-plus grade for coaching this year. We had a little slump in the middle of the season, but we came out of it.” B.C. was the CFL's top rushing team this, year when Donovan insisted the Lions had to move the ball on the ground before the would be effective “T've always believed that if you can run, you can win, because your quarterback should be good enough at this level to pass,” Donovan said. passing game
