CosNewsPhoto Lumbercurba concern OTTAWA (CP) — Lumber industry representatives Tuesday urged MPs to lobby Washington politicians to help fight a growing campaign to curtail Canadian lumber exports to the United States. “The idea is correct and I think the timing is correct as well,” Mike Apsey, president of the Council of Forest Industries of British Columbia, told the Commons forestry committee. “I think co-ordinated visits by Canadian politicians to Washington are in order.” Committee members seemed to like the idea. New Democratic MP Jim Fulton also suggested that Parliament pass a non-partisan resolution setting out Canada’s position on the lumber trade dispute and sending a copy of it to all members of the U.S. Congress and Senate. However, such a resolution seems unlikely to be approved before Parliament begins its summer recess Friday. Fulton said MPs had refrained from lobbying American legislators at the request of the External Affairs Department. He said external affairs officials told him a few months ago that activity in Washington by Canadian MPs might only produce more publicity for the protectionist campaign. IN LEGISLATURE Congress is considering several bills aimed at reducing the inflow of Canadian lumber into’ the U.S. market. The U.S. lumber industry believes the government stumpage fees charged to Canadian forestry firms are so low that they amount to a subsidy. A similar charge was rejected a few years ago after a U.S. Commerce Department investigation. Apsey said the bill considered most dangerous by the Canadian industry is one introduced earlier this month by Rep. Sam Gibbons, a Florida Democrat. It aims to expand the definition of subsidy in U.S. trade law and impose countervail duties on imports deemed to be the new definition. Meares fight still on OTTAWA (CP) — For- estry giant MacMillan Bloe- del Ltd. is fighting natives who want to prevent it from logging Meares Island be- cause the forest industry has already lost too much pro- ductive land to environment- alists, Noranda Inc., presi- dent Adam Zimmerman said Tuesday. “The question is how much is enough ... There are a hell of a lot of parks in this country,” Zimmerman told the Commons forestry com- mittee. “You've got to stop some- where. Meares Island just happened to be in that zone.” Zimmerman said the forest industry helps people enjoy nature because camp sites are often set up in areas opened up by logging com- panies. “As soon as we open up @ campsite, people flood into it and love it to death and then they want to own it,” he said. MacMillan Bloedel, which is 49 per cent owned by Nor- anda Inc., has been fighting against a determined coal- ition of Indian groups and environmentalists who are trying to prevent it from log- ging Meares Island off the west coast of Vancouver Is- land. The Indians who live on the heavily forested island claim they own it. The com- pany, supported by the Brit- ish Columbia government, claims it has logging rights on the island. The Indians recently won an d under Apsey said that if that bill is passed it might hurt other Canadian natural resources exported to the United States. It could be argued that the aluminum industry, for example, is subsidized by low hydro rates, he said. The Canadian share of the U.S. lumber market has increased recently because the weakness of the Canadian dollar makes Canadian wood cheaper. However, Apsey told the committee that Canada traditionally exports a lot of wood to the United States because U.S. forests cannot meet U.S. needs and Canadian woods are preferred for many uses. Williams ejected for heckling VICTORIA (CP) — New Democrat Bob Williams was ejected from the British Col- umbia legislature Tuesday after heckling Forest Min. Thief left - on bicycle KELOWNA (CP) — An unarmed thief used a 10. speed bicycle to make his getaway Tuesday from this Okanagan city's first bank robbery in more than three years. The man presented a note demanding money to a teller ister Tom Waterland during debate on a bill to change the way logs are measured. Deputy Speaker Bruce Strachan ordered Williams at a branch of the Bank of Montreal shortly after the bank opened. There was no indication he had a weapon, police said. The thief got away with a small amount of cash, police said, but would not specify the amount.

Strachan was on his feet to reprimand Williams for hec- kling Waterland. Williams was the first member suspended from the legislature since former New Democrat leader Dave Bar- rett and NDP House Leader Frank Howard were ejected Oct. 5, 1983, for challenging the chair Outside the legislature, Williams told reporters he thought his ejection was for heckling Waterland, and called it “absolute nonsense” because members on both sides often make comments across the floor. Williams said the Strachan silenced him to protect Wa- terland, “who is in a pretty weak position.” Waterland was rebutting opposition criticism of Bill 3, containing amendments to the Forest Act. The bill was introduced in the spring, but Williams said it has not been debated until now because “they (Socreds) are ashamed of the fact that they are going to let the companies control the meas- urement of public timber.” The bill authorizes the ap- pointment of private sector personnel as scalers to meas. ure the amount of public timber logged.

The Jets captain became a millionaire at only 22 years of age with an eight-year deal reported to be worth as much as $3.2 million. “We worked on it smartly and there wasn't a lot of dickering going on,” he told reporters after the signing was announced Tuesday at City Hall. “We just got right to the point, found out where each other stood and it didn’t take long,” Hawerchuk said of the contract negotiations. Gus Badali, agent for both Hawerchuk and Gretzky, said the contract likely makes Hawerchuk the league's second-highest player after Gretzky. Gretzky is in the early stages of a deal with Edmonton Oilers that pays him an estimated $800,000 a year, plus incentives, and runs for 21 years. However, Badali said the exact worth of some details in Hawerchuk’s new agreement cannot be known until after the contract's life has run out. “There are things in the contract, little touches here and there, that you cannot really put a final figure on until actually the term is completed.” Jets general manager John Ferguson drew laughs from about 100 fans, politicians and reporters by making a show of keeping the contract away from photographers. “You can be sure I'm not going to bring this contract out with all these cameras,” Ferguson said. “We'll get it done back at the office,” Ferguson said of the official signing of Hawerchuk, who was 1981 winner of the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year. The Jets handed out buttons to all in attendance that read “Dale Hawerchuk — the perfect 10,” referring to the Toronto native’s sweater number. Jets coach Barry Long, who signed a new three-year contract himself on Monday, the Jets had to re-sign Hawerchuk to stay competitive next season. “You just can't let a person of superstar status slip by your fingers because of money or whatever,” Long said. “Dale has certainly matured as a person and as a hockey player and we need people like him if we hope to bring a Stanley Cup to this city,” he said. Long said Hawerchuk who finished third in league scoring, would be considered the best player in the NHL if Gretzky did not rule as undisputed king. FUTURE ASSURED “Dale might play second fiddle to Wayne for some time or maybe he will one day have an off-season. I don't know,” Long said. “But I think (Hawerchuk) will continue to be a superstar.” Hawerchuk signed his first NHL contract almost four years ago when the flashy playmaker was the Jets’ top draft pick and the first selection overall. Ina gawdy Aug. 13, 1981, wheeled to the historic downtown intersection of irtess Avenue and Main Street in an armored truck. The former star junior player with Cornwall Royals has led the Jets’ scoring in every year. Last season, he paced Winnipeg to a fourth place overall finish in the 21-team league with 53 goals and 77 assists. The Jets closed with a 43-27-10 record, bowing to Edmonton Oilers 4-0 in the second round of the playoffs after a tough, grinding series with Calgary Flames in which Hawerchuk suffered a rib injury. FOLLOWED GRETZKY Hawerchuk capped his best year in the league by finishing second to Gretzky in voting for the Hart Trophy as the league's most valuable player. “I love the fire in his eyes when he goes to play,” Ferguson said of Hawerchuk, who tied and broke 19 individual and team records last season. “We laid the groundwork for the contract six months ago and we knew what their perspectives were and what were ours,” Ferguson said in an interview. Ferguson refused to be pinned down on exactly how much Hawerchuk will earn as a base salary, but he did acknowledge that the contract included a number of lucrative incentives and bonuses. “He has certain goals to shoot for,” Ferguson said. “There's a lot of incentives. Bonuses are there and he has something to shoot for.” NATIONAL LEAGUE Cubs keep on losing By The Canadian Press Chicago Cubs manager Jim Frey tries to figure out what to say to reporters who ask why baseball's defending National League East champs have lost 13 games in a row to tie a club record for futility. “I don’t know what to say anymore,” Frey said after the latest debacle — a 32 home-field loss Tuesday to New York Mets. “I can’t ever recall losing 13 straight as a manager, a coach or a player. It isn't easy when you have to rehash the same things day after day after day.” The Cubs’ losing streak ties the club record set in 3-1 by Philadelphia Phillies. 1944 and again in 1982.
