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.

(NDP-Vancouver East) ejec
ted for not taking” his seat
while Strachan was standing,
and for interjecting while
Strachan was speaking.

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.

multi-millionaire

WINNIPEG (CP) — Winnipeg Jets centre Dale
Hawerchuk may skate in the shadow of Wayne Gretzky,
but he can hold his head high in the National Hockey
League with a new multi-million-dollar contract.

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.”
