Trade hearing opens

WASHINGTON (CP) Imports of allegedly sub. sidized Canadian lumber are driving down U.S. prices and eroding the U.S. forest in dustry's ability to survive, representatives of American lumber producers told a trade hearing Tuesday

“Right now the U.S. in dustry’ is just hanging on,” Clark McFadden, lawyer for the U.S. Coalition for Fair Lumber Imports, said

McFadden and other U.S. lumber industry representa tives told a U.S. Intern ational “Trade Commission hearing that allegedly sub sidized lumber from Canada, worth about $4 billion Can adian last year, is the prime cause of the U.S. industry's financial difficulties.

They rejected arguments that the lower value of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. currency is a major rea son why Canadian lumber is more attractive to U.S. buy ers.

UNDERCUTS PRICES

They said low timber cut ting fees in Canada give Canadian lumbermen an un. fair advantage and allow them to undercut U.S. prices.

The U.S. industry made its arguments at the opening hearing to its request for penalty duties to be imposed on lumber imports from Can. ada.

They're trying to offset what it says are unfairly low subsidized timber cutting fees in Canada.

“No part of the United States, however far from the border, has been spared the effects from this subsidized lumber,” said Alan Wolff, another coalition lawyer.

FORESTRY STUDY SAYS

Opportunity for 35 direct jobs

By SIMON BIRCH Staff Writer The remanufacture of western red cedar and the production of edge glued boards are two “promising” manufac turing opportunities that could provide more than 35 direct jobs in the Central Kootenay, a study prepared for the Regional District of Central Kootenay

says.

The study, prepared by Woodbridge, Reed and Associates of Vancouver, completes phase two of a forest sector development strategy for the RDCK and is an extension of the forest

The two-part study outlines in detail the possibility of locating facilities to produce red cedar products and edge glued boards in central Kootenay.

Selkirk College Faculty Association has voted 80 per cent in favor of a new two-year agreement

The agreement, which takes effect April 1, 1986, provides for no salary increase this year, while only wages will be open to negotiation in 1987

“Both parties to the agreement are happy to reach a negotiated settlement which recognizes the financial realities of the institution and individual faculty members,” college principal Leo Perra said in a prepared release.

The two parties signed a memoran dum of agreement May 23. The college board ratified the contract Tuesday while the faculty association took a vote Thursday

“The route taken will probably do that,” he said

But faculty members expressed con cern at the three-hour meeting, over a number of issues, including the heavy workload

“We are still going to present these concerns to the college.” Gibson said

Commenting on the wage reopener for the second year of the contract, Gibson noted that faculty have had little in the way of wage increases in the last In the past three years salary amounted to

prior to the American imposition of a 35 per cent tariff on Canadian red cedar shake and shingle exports and the threat of further tariffs on softwood lumber exports.

But Berg said he doesn’t think the tariff or the threat of tariffs will have a detrimental effect on the establishment of the new manufacturing facilities proposed in the study.

“In the long run I don't think (the tariff) should haye an effect.” he said. “Everything will adjust eventually.”

In addition to the direct jobs created by the new facilities, a number of “spinoff” jobs would also be created, Berg said.

“I have to think the spinoff effect would be the same as in any other industry in the area,” he said, adding that “a direct number of forestry jobs would also be involved.”

Locating a red cedar remanufac turing facility in the Central Kootenay has several advantages, the study says, noting the decline in the Canadian dollar relative to the American dollar has resulted in more equitable wage levels between British Columbia and the United States.

“In addition, as a result of continued depressed economic conditions and resultant unemployment, wage expec tations in the CKRD may now be somewhat lower.”

A Central Kootenay facility would also have the advantage of close prox imity to supplying mills, the study says.

“The ability to examine the quality of raw materials firsthand and to antici- pate the cedar production cycles of the large sawmills in the region would give

NEW $5 BILLS GET OK

By CasNews Staff and News Services

You can relax and start spending those new $5 bills again. The Bank of Canada has no intention of with drawing them from circulation

Rumors have been circulating in various parts of the country, es pecially Alberta, that the front-side picture on the new bill shows the Parliament Buildings flying the American flag. The result is that in some parts of the country people have been hoarding the newly designed fives.

The new bills are a mistake, so rumor goes, meaning that the government will have to take them all back, sending the value of those still in circulation out of sight.

Well, Virginia, it just ain't so.

The new bill, which also depicts former Liberal prime minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier, shows the Par liament Buildings as they existed when Laurier was the country's leader. It takes a magnifying glass

DOLLARS ery NO MISTAKE - with its new $5 bill

to reveal that the flag that is flying is not the Stars and Stripes, but the old Red Ensign, for many decades Canada’s own flag.

“Historically, it is a very accurate banknote,” says Don Adolph of the Bank of Canada. “During the largest part of Laurier’s time that was the flag that flew over the Parliament Buildings.”

In Castlegar, some rumors have been circulating that the new bill will be withdrawn because of the belted kingfisher's placement on the back of the bill, in’ relation to Laurier’s position on the front of the bill

While the bird and the former prime minister seem quite separate, if the bill is held up to the light, the kingfisher appears to be pecking Laurier's ear.

7 The Bank of Canada says it didn't make o mistake

But Adolph says there's nothing to worry about

He said that since the bill came out he has had many calls from collectors and the media, asking whether the bill was printed in error

“I would be very happy to sell them another million, if they'd like.” says Adolph. “There is definitely no substance to the withdrawal ru mor.”

The new fives have also been causing problems at Royal Bank of Canada automated tellers. Occa sionally, the machines will pay out two fives instead of one because the detectors cannot pick up the color in the notes.

That is a technical problem being addressed by the bank and the sup plier of its machines, says Adolph.

Approval for Hung to emigrate came earlier this year and his three-day journey from Vietnam through Bangkok, Tokyo and Vancouver to a teary-eyed hug from his father at Castlegar Airport.

On hand to weleome the youngster, bewildered and overwhelmed by the ordeal, were several family members, mayors Chuck Lakes of Trail and Audrey Moore of Castlegar, along with a representative from Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco's office and several directors of the multicultural centre.

BCRIC CHAIRMAN SAYS

Westar to stay here

By CasNews Staff

Westar Timber Ltd. has agreed to sell its Skeena pulp mill in Prince Rupert and its sawmill in Terrace to Repap Enterprises Inc. of Montreal for $100 million in cash

But the sale doesn’t mean Westar's parent company, B.C. Resources In vestment Corp., intends to get out of the forest products business.

BCRIC chairman Bruce Howe said Westar Timber will retain its pulp mill and sawmill in Castlegar and three

wmills around the province

“We are redeploying our assets and reducing our dependence on northern bleached kraft pulp,” Howe said

“Everybody is a winner. Repap is extending its interests in Western Canada and will open the ‘B’ mill more quickly than we would have added Howe. “And we reduce long-term debt by $100 million

“We also feel that employees and their local communities will benefit through greater job security and in creased employment,” Howe said in a Prepared release.

Repap is a Canadian-owned company and has interests in two Canadian pulp

The sale is expected to have little impact on Westar's Celgar Pulp Operations, according to manager Wilf Sweeney

I really don’t know of any impact,” Sweeney said Friday

Westar Timber president Sandy Fulton was contacted Friday at his Vancouver office but was out for the day

Meanwhile, stock markets shifted only slightly to the news of the deal

“This will provide employment for about 150 people in the Prince Rupert area while an additional 150 people will be employed in woodlands and related activities,” he said.

Repap also intends to carry out a $40-million, two-year capital program to reduce production costs, and im prove efficiency and the long-term competitiveness of the Skeena mill, Petty said.

The Skeena “A™ mill opened in 1951 and the “B™ mill was completed in 1978. There currently are 445 employees.

The Terrace sawmill, converted to export lumber production in 1983, employs 195 people.

B.C. Industry and Small Business Minister Bob McClelland said: “As a result of the sale by Westar we are looking for 300 new direct and indirect jobs. It’s the intention of the new owner to restart the “B™ mill and they are looking for an incremental 800,000 cubic metres of wood fibre.”

McClelland said the sale to Repap will “result in significant short and long-term improvement in the utilize tion of the forest resource of the region.” -
