Conservative MP Stan.Darling, the oldest member of Parliament at 78, waded through Carmanah Creek, wearing a borrowed sweatshirt and happily snapping pictures. “I think it’s just wonderful,”” he said, looking up at the gigantic trees covered in moss that hung down in long strands. “I saw some really tall ones. It’s really worth preserving.’’ The woods expedition to the valley on the west coast of Vancouver Island included officials from MacMillan Lawyers continued from front page Canada Post's manager of rural ser- vices for the Pacific Division, says, “In the absence of an agreement with a local business to operate a retail postal outlet’ by Friday, _March-30, 1990, the Robson post office will discontinue operation on Tuesday, April 20, 1990."” Zayac says that without a retail Postal outlet, retail postal services ir Robson will be limited to postage stamps and ‘personal contact items’’ such as parcels and registered mail available from the contksctor who deliv€rs mail to the community.

Minister continued from front page making process accommodated all potential factors," she writes. ‘‘I believe the decision to be a correct one.”” The government says the move is necessary to consolidate the unem- ployment insurance claims process. Marcolin was on holiday last week and unavailable for comment. Trail’s acting mayor, Jerry Paul, Bloedel, the company that wants to log the valley, as well as environmen- talists who want to turn it into a park. The dispute over the fate of the valley is one of the hottest political issues in British Columbia. The valley includes the tallest known tree in Canada, a 98-metre high Sitka spruce that is taller than the Peace Tower on Parliament. There are also 1,000-year-old red cedars, western hemlocks and balsam trees. The 15-member all-party environ- ment committee has recommended a moratorium on logging the Carmanah until —an—inventory of old-growth forest is done. Federal Environment Minister Lucien Bouchard said earlier this week that although the government couldn’t legally prevent logging, “‘politically . . . there are things that might be done. But B.C. Premier Bill Vander Zalm said Friday he wouldn’t take any ad- vice from the federal government on how to handle the Carmanah. “*In running our province we do not tend to take advice from Ottawa, given the record Ottawa has of run- ning the country,’’ he said. ‘I’m not about to start making decisions based on what it is Ottawa is telling us to. do or we'll have similar disasters here that they're experiencing now. Car- manah is B.C.’s call.’’ Environmentalists such as Vicky Husband of the Sierra Club say the Carmanah is one of the few forests on Vancouver Island that has never been logged and should be preserved as a national treasure. ‘We're looking to you for leader- ship,”” she told the four MPs who took part in the expedition. ‘‘We don’t have very many of these areas left. We have to think about the water, the wildlife, everything.’” MacMillan Bloedel officials say they are willing to preserve the lower part of the valley, which contains the tallest trees, but they want to log the upper vailey,an area of about 7,000 hectares. Protecting the valley would cost 100 direct jobs and 200 spinoff jobs in the area, said Gord Eason, develop- ment manager with MacMillan Bloedel.

On_ transportation’ issues, Browne said Celgar has talked to railway companies about bringing in Celgar’s supply of wood chips by rail to alleviate the expected in- crease in chip-truck traffic. But he said Celgar would have to “pay a large premium’’ and find its own rolling stock to bring its chips in by rail. He estimated the company would neéd to purchase as many as 400 rail cars to meet the demand. That, Browne said, ‘‘is a heck of an invest- go to the forest fe ment.’” The cost right now is prohibitive, Browne said Celgar has also looked at barging the chips down the Arrow Lakes but that would require new ‘ies similar to those at coastal ports which handle grain shipments. He also pointed out that Upper Arrow Lake does freeze at times in winter and is not always available to barge traffic. “It’s our one area of serious concern,"’ Browne said of the traffic problem. ‘‘We don’t have an easy solution to the problem.’’ But; “well ‘certainly consider everyone's input,” he added. Browne also shot back at critics who say taxpayers will foot the bill for-highway-improvements and main- tenance while Celgar reaps the financial benefits of the expansion. *m sure employees at Celgar over the last 30 years paid a hell of a lot more in taxes than some of the people who are complaining now,”’ he said. Browne also repeated Celgar’s assurances that the new mill will meet all ** he added. ditions, such as an atmospheric inversion which traps treatment.

The Opposition Leader said he will begin a four-week tour of British Columbia next Tuesday, in anticipation of an election call in early May. “*New Democrats are ready to take our policies to British Colum- bians, so they'can choose between the Socred record of favors to friends and a wealthy few or a New Democrat government that will represent all British Coltumbians,"* Harcourt said in a news release, The NDP tour will focus on the environment, housing, school referendums and surgery waiting lists. . Party campaign manager Hans Brown said recent government an- nouncements make it clear British Columbia is in an election campaign. “The Socreds are up to their old tricks of trying to buy votes using taxpayers’ money, beating the fundraising drums with big business and running expensive ads on TV telling us how great they are,’’ Brown said. “The only thing Social Credit hasn't done is drop the writ.”’ B.C. Grit nixes accord VANCOUVER (CP) — B.C. Liberal Leader Gordon Wilson tur- ned thumbs down Friday on the latest efforts to rescue the Meech Lake constitutional accord. Wilson said he still opposes any attempt to approve the accord before constitutional amendments that ensure dominance of Charter of Rights and Freedoms and remove special legislative status for Quebec are introduced, He also said that ing the formula without removing the unanimity clause would effectively kill any chance at Senate reform. The proposal of New Brunswick Premier Frank McKenna, adopted Thursday by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, calls for ratification of Meech Lake, coupled with an accompanying document on issues such as minority and aboriginal rights. Wilson, whose party holds no seats in the B.C. legislature, called on Mulroney to rescind the June 23 deadline for ratifying the accord. Premier fears black market VANCOUVER (CP) — The proposed federal goods and services tax will spur the rampant spread of a black market economy that will cost governments tax revenues from unreported income, Premier Bill Vander Zalm said. Vander Zalm told the Vancouver Canadian Club the story of a his native Holland who was given the choice by a veterinarian of paying cash or by credit card after operating on her dog. The cash bill was 300 guilders. But if she paid with a credit card where there would be a record, the bill jumped to 400 guilders because of the Netherlands’ value-added tax, he said. “‘We're going to create an underground economy, a black market, which we don’t relate to, we don’t understand, we don’t believe could happen in our province or in our country,** Vander Zalm said Green offers $7 million A VANCOUVER (CP) — Philanthropist Cecil Green has pledged $6 million US — more than $7 million Cdn — to the University of British Columbia to build a residential college for graduate students, the university announced Thursday.

Costiews photo by Ed Mills PM eyes McKenna option OTTAWA (CP) — Just three mon- ths before the deadline, Prime Ministef1Brian Mulroney looked Thursday to a New Brunswick solution to save what he concedes is a flawed Meech Lake accord. Speaking directly to Canadians in a rare television address, Mulroney said he will introduce Premier Frank McKenna’s proposed companion ion of additi aad reforms in the Commons next week. Mulroney said in a taped speech he believes it is possible to pass Meech Lake as is by its June 23 deadline while accommodating key objections in a resolution to be adopted later. The prime minister said the McKenna option will be referred to a special Commons committee, which will hold public hearings as soon as possible. Then the Commons will vote on the committee’s recommen- dations.

Fundraising meets goal VANCOUVER (CP) — A major fund-raising campaign by the University of British Columbia has achieved its initial $66 million goal well before a deadline, says campaign chairman Robert Wyman. “With the additional $66 million in matching~funds~ fromthe Provincial government, we have reached our goal of $132 million a full year before the scheduled wrap-up of the campaign,"’ Wyman said in a news release. The campaign was aimed at private and corporate donors. Univer- sity president David Strangway said although the original target has been exceeded, many key projects remain under-subscribed. Snow sculpture disliked OTTAWA (CP) — The federal deputy minister of forestry has reacted coldly to a prize-winning snow sculpture ,by Environment Department employees. . Called Progress at What Cost?, the rendition of a forest being menaced by a bulldozer won first prize in the government employee category at a recent local winter carnival. But Jean-Claude Mercier, the deputy ministry of forgstry, wasn't as enthralled as the judges. He has written a letter to Len ood, deputy i minister, ‘ining the depicts the forestry in- dustry as ‘‘bent on destroying’’ the forest and the wildlife it maintains. In fact, writes Mercier, the forest sector is well into a Period of transition from ‘‘mining to farming the forest resource.”” Heart patients in no rush VANCOUVER (CP) — B.C. cardiac patients on a waiting list for open-heart surgery aren’t rushing to take advantage of an agreement that allowsggome operations to be performed ifiWashington state, a Health Ministry spokesman said. Only 19 of the B.C. patients on the waiting list of 720 have been approved for surgery in Washington hospitals since the B.C. Health Ministry signed an agreement with Washington health care authorities more than a month ago, said Bruce Archer. Archer said it “tis up to patients in their dealings with their own cardiologists to decide whether to go to Washington.”” “*Patients want to think about it for a while, and that’s understan- dable. They are not being rushed."” Archer said he expects the rate of applications will increase after more patients have gone to Washington, and a track record has been establisbéd. New contract accepted LANGLEY, B.C. (CP) — Classrooms be back to normal Monday in the Langley school district after non-teaching staff voted to accépt a new contract. e The two locals of the Canadian Union of Public Employees voted” 91 and 88 per cent in favor of the deal on ThusSday. The 600 workers — janitors, clerical staff and bus drivers — went on strike March 6. A contract was worked out earlier this week with mediator Vince Ready. Students are currently on a week-long spring break rs in Quebec and weakest-in the Prairies but over half of Canadians still say they know little about the proposed constitutional amendment, suggests a Gallup poll published Friday. The Gallup poll published in the Halifax Chronicle-Herald indicates 53 per cent of Canadians say they know little or nothing about the accord, while 44 per cent say they are either fairly or quite familiar With it. Those results, based on 1,054 per- sonal interviews this month with Canadian adults, are similar to an earlier Gallup poll based on interviews in February A sample of this size is accurate to within four percentage points, 19 times in 20, when applied on a national basis. Regional figures are generally less accurate. The poll suggests 44 per cent of Quebec’s population believes the Meech Lake amendments will have a Positive impact on the country. In the Prairies, 16 per cent share that view while the other regions are clustered in between with Ontario at 23 per cent, Atlantic Canada, 21, and British Columbia, 20. BRIAN MULRONEY -- rare TV address But Newfoundjand Premier Clyde Wells, a Meech Lake opponent, said he doesn’t think an adopt-then- amend approach could work to meet Newfoundland."" “But, at the very least, they’re star- ting a process of discussion and this is a step in the right direction.”” Only hours earlier, Wells tabled a uti in the N legislature to rescind his province's approval of Meech Lake. Mulroney made his plea in a televised pitch strong on emotion, as he implored Canadians to ‘look into their hearts.”” He spent much of his 10-minute speech rhapsodizing about deep* snow-covered forests, prairies that stretched to the horizon and moun- tains that seemed to touch the sky. The McKenna option wouldn't change Meech Lake, only add to it in a companion solution. Among other things, McKenna wants to recognize Quebec as a distin- Ct society, as the existing accord does, but ask Parliament to promote “possibly the concerns of bilingualism and “ensure equality. - While Ottawa’s new willingness to talk does not open the accord itself to sexual has -said- would be impossible — it ‘allows for additions. “I believe it’s possible to extend a hand to Canadians who feel they were overlooked by the Meech Lake accord — aboriginal Canadians, northern Canadians, certain women’s groups — without undermining the accord and—the—consensus— it~ represents,”” Mulroney said, But Manitoba NDP Leader Gary Doer — who atong with Liberal Sharon Carstairs has Premier Gary Filmon’s minority government trap- Ped in opposing the accord — said Mulroney had not found the magic solution. ““If we pass that, then-we-have to rely on a unanimous provision again ‘on some kind of dangling amendment in the future.”” VANCOUVER (CP) = Premier Bill Vander Zalm came close Friday to saying the Meech Lake accord is dead in the West if there is no provision to deal with Senate reform. At one point, he told reporters that Western Canada will want Senate reform before it is Prepared to, compromise on any Meech-Lake issues. “I can guarantee you that the western premiers — and I don't think I’m speaking only for this province — that ‘Western Canada will demand Senate reform take place before we move anywhere else. “And I think perhaps, too, there may be a little more fear about this than what there was before (Prime Minister Mulroney’s televised) announ- cement (Thursday on New Brun- swick Premier Frank McKenna’s Proposal) “‘Without Senate reform, I don’t think we'll get anywhere."’ But Vander Zalm backed off when pressed on the question of rescinding British Columbia's ratification of Meech Lake over Senate reform. “I’m not saying what'll happen but we're going to haveto see the process include Western Canada. And the B.C. position, I think, is very. representative of Western Canada for certain.”” In addition to Senate reform, Vander Zalm has proposed that all regions of Canada should be recognized as a distinct society. The Meech Lake accord, reached in 1987, recognizes only Quebec ag a distinct society and gives all_ provinces more power in some areas such as Senate and judicial appointments Opposition to the accord, which would make Quebec a willing constitutional partner, in English Canada has fuelled Quebec nationalism and revived talk of separatism. Vander Zalm was interviewed after he told the Vancouver Vander Zalm links Senate reform to deal Canadian Club that initital ap- Proval for the Meech Lake deal changed after Quebec introduced its English-only sign legislation It_is dangerous to think that Canada will carry on if there is no resolution to the Meech Lake im- passe, he added. “That attitude could be dangerous and it could certainly hurt— the country,"*—said—the premier, who also warned that constitutional disarray will hurt British Columbia’s bid to attract investment. » Speaking to reporters, Vander Zalm criticized Mulroney’s plan to table the McKenna proposal-in the House of Commons — he did it Friday — and refer it to.a Com- mons committee ‘McKenna wants to recognize Quebec as a distinct society but also ask Parliament to promote bilingualism, as well as ensure sexual equality in the same way mutlculturatism and aboriginal rights are protected Globe '90 $1M ind VANCOUVER (CP) — The Globe ’90 conference was a success because it began to build bridges between in: dustry and environmentalists, con- ference chairman Patrick Reid said Friday. But one critic says that although there were some lively debates during the five-day conference, they weren't ul because no were passed. “The conference 4gnored women, people from lesser developed coun tries, indigenous peoples and grassroots environmental groups,’ said Stuart Hertzog of the Citizens Action Network in Vancouver As the conference on business and the environment ended Friday, Justice Minister Kim Campbell, MP for Vancouver-Centre, said the federal government will sponsor Globe °92, to be held March 16-20 in Vancouver The federal government con- tributed $3 million to the $5.5-million cost of Globe "90. It had hoped to recover much of the expense through registration fees but organizers said they eapect to run a deficit of up to $1 million. Organizers said they will make the event less of an endurance test in 1992. This week’s agenda was 167 pages, featuring more than 100 panels and workshops The conference aifracted nearly 2,400 delegates from 60 countries. More than S50 speakers and 400 reporters also attended, while an ac- companying trade fair in the domed B.C. Place Stadium drew more than 600 exhibitors from 15 countries. Throughout the week, environmen- tal groups criticized the conference, saying speakers from large companies glossed over questionable track records on the environment. And a leader of the Canadian and gas industry said that if Globe * was no love-ia for industry, then companies must’accept the blame. “*Wherever industry has failed to inform or refuse to admit mistakes or drag its feet in the hope that issues would go away, there has been an erosion of public trust in industry,’’ said Ian Smyth, president of the « Canadian Petroleum Association.
