SUN STAFF PHOTO / Brendan Halpor Ending softwood lumber tax «is good JiM ZEEBEN Sun staff. The long run became a little more appealing to B.C.’s lumber on softwood lumber exported by B.C. to the U.S. was eliminated its a result of measures taken by the province. Those measures included industry and to p buyers of Westar’s Castlegar sawmill after the federal government announced it will end a 15-per cent tax on Canadian softwood lumber. “J think it should allow people to look down the road and see a little more viable future,” said ‘Westar president Peter Berry. According to Berry the com- pany is closing on bids this week and by next week will have a good indication of who the mill's next owner will be. However, the effects of scrap- ping the tax will not be too noticeable in B.C. over the short term. The 15-per cent federal export charge came in lieu of a U.S. countervailing duty on Canadian softwood lumber exports back in December 1986 under a Memo- randum of Understanding (MoU) between Canada and the United States. A year later, the federal charge charges for P timber and the costs for reforestation to the forest industry. Measures which add up to more than $500,000 in revenues for the province. “Initially it (axing the tax) won't have any benefit,” said Berry who thinks changes should be made to the Present system of stumpage fees. * “It’s going to take some time.” Berry, along with others in the industry, is worried about the potential retaliation being called fort by U. S. _Jumber lobbyists. 84 arrested at Hasty Creek Largest mass arrest in B.C.'s environmental history: BRENDAN HALPER Sun staff Eighty-four people were arrested at the Hasty Creek site on Sept. 6 as residents and sup- Porters of the Hasty Creek Water- shed Committee (HCWC) defied a court injunction which gives Slocan Forest Products (SFP) the right to proceed with road build- ing into the watershed area. Those arrested were released in New Denver shortly thereafter on the conditions that they not return to the site and appear in supreme court in Nelson on Sept. 10. Since Aug. 19 residents and committee members have been seeking to delay road buildi al, but rather logging within their watershed. : Among those arrested were; Stan Rowe. a prominent forester, leading authority on boreal forest ecology and former University of Saskatchewan professor, Colleen McRory recipient of 1983 Gover- nor General’s Award of Canada and 1989 Equinox Citation for work in conservation. Also, Paul Gibbons, director of ‘Snake in the Grass Moving Theatre’; awarded Global 500 Award for Environmental Achievement(1990) by the Unit: ed Nations and finally, Susan Hammond, co-author of B.C. until the dispute over watershed and The C ity Guide t9 Forests. A ig to the HCWC news Despite the fact that this is the largest number of people ever arrested in a British Columbia forest dispute, staff sergeant Pritchett of the Nelson RCMP sub-division stated, “there were no incidents of any kind. The people protesting cooperated in every regard.” There were approximately 250 “*“protestersat the site bat only those who remained on the road, making it impossible for a SFP have ween calling for an end to the tax for years saying it has been unfair to B.C. industry. “This is a great day for Cana- da and especially for British Columbia,” said Forest Mini: pany truck to pass, were arrested. These people ranged from 13 to about 70 years of age.

The members of the HCWC have continually stressed that their concerns are not directed toward SFP or logging in gener- release, Klaus Offerman, Busi: ness Agent and First’ Vice Presi: dent of the West Kootenay IWA, visited Hasty Creek twice last week to meet with organizers of the road blockade. “We (IWA) share your con- cern for long-term planning which protects the forest land base,” said Offerman. “In fact, if you? read our forest’ policy, you’: will see we have much in com- mon.” Offerman said, “We (IWA) don’t necessarily agree with all the points that the HCWC have put forth, nor with the timing or the type of action they have taken in seeking these points. “However, we do agree that present processes lack in that they do not provide people or groups or workers with access to: fair conflict resolution mecha-" nisms,” he said. “Of course our members: depend on timber from that area: See HASTY CREEK 2A: -Sunny September weather Grade P4 students from Twin Rivers Elementary are taking advantage of the beautiful fall weather by enjoying a game of dodgeball during recess. ‘SUN STAFF PHOTO / Brendan Halper H \ * ‘ i 5
