ACT EXPLAINED

_ Logger

he hd sites ; Brovini al
oft y aes HERE to
reallocate methods of

dperation in an otherwise
sound industry, Tom
Waterland, minister of
forests, told loggers in
Terrace Terrace an
Saturday.

The new act will provide a
“tool for the proper
management of forest
resources for the benefit of
everyone in the province
without giving into special
interest groups,” he said at
the Northwest Loggers
Association convention.

That act is based on the 480
different recommendations
made by the Pearse om-
mission headed by Dr. Peter
Pearse. The report was
received by government in
October 1976 and a forest act
advisory committee was
established to receive input
from another 160 groups and
individuals -as well as
fovernment departments,
said Waterland.

The act requires the forest
service to, make a new
assessment every 10 years
and to have a five-year plan
which is updated each year,
he said.

The forest industry is now
a second growth industry

and the policies and
proceedures of the new act
will accomodate these

changes, he said.

Until the regulations are
promulgated, made known,
in the next few months and.
the various levels of
authorities, from the ranger
staff to the minister or ap-
peal board, acutally ad-
minister the acl and the
regulations, loggers will not
know everything about the
new approach to forest
management, said Bert
Gayle, vice-president of
coast forestry and logging
for Canadian Forest
Products,

“\] wag just as critical as
everyone else bul in the last
few months I’ve made the
conclusion that maybe there
are some gaod things about
this act,” said Gayle during
the panel discussion’ which
followed Waterlands speech.

The acl empowers the
minister to encourage
iriaximiim productivity
from the forests, to plan the
use of the forests lo co-
ordinate values ‘ and
requirements of timber,
trazing, fisheries, wildlife,
water, recreation and other
faliiral resources and to
encourage a vigourous,
efficient and  world-
competilive timber industry
in the province, said Gayle.
A five year plan must be
made for rest Mares
land, for inereasing the
productivity of forest and

how much by the private

The minister must make
an analysis of timber land
that is not commercially
restocked, or not producing
up to a realistic potential,
and a general analysis of Lhe
health of the industry with
action plans in cach case
where il is determined that
the industry is not at ac-
ceptable levels, said Gayle.

These requirements will
provide for maximum use of
provincial foresis as the
industry moves from an old
growth forest to a second
growth forest, he said.

In the past, when industry
spent money improving the
forest for the second
rotation, the povernment
took it all back in stumpage
when the timber was cut, he
said.

The new act makes
provision for credit against

ining - stumpage for the cost of all

approved intensive forestry
practices, said Gayle.

H someone purchases a
tenure, there can be no
ecologival reserves made
within the logging operation
uniess the benefits exceed
the benefits of the em-
ployment, taxes and profit
from logging, said Gayle.

If a licensee jails to har-
vest the minimum volume
over the five-year cul control
period, the finest service
may put up as a timber sale
license u volume of Limber
equal to the shortfall and
reduce the quola of the
license by that amount, or in
the case of a tree farm
license, not only reduce the
annual allowable cut by the
amount of the deficiency, but
also delete from the TFL an
area that an annual
allowable cul equal to the
deficiency, he said.

Gayle said that most ol the

contentious issues in the act
are appealable.

The Regional Hospital
istrict board decided
Saturday to discontinue the
practise of assessing all
ratepayers throughout the
region an automatic quarter
of a mill levy to be turned
over to Mills Memorial
Hospital,

‘The Hospital Board, which
is composed of lhe same
members as regional district
council, has decided that the
hospital must budget a year
ahead of time and make a
farmal request for financing

rather than automatically
receive funds.

“They should have lo
budget and ask for money
the same as everyone else,”
chairman Joe Banyay told
the meeting.

Director Vic  Julliffe
suggested that perhaps the
hospital would be forced to
do = without — essential
equipment if the quarter rill
tax was dropped,

Director Alice Chen-Wing
told the members that she

Hypnotist finds
crowd reluctant

By Greg Middleton

Hypnotist Romane
managed to attract enough
of a crowd to the R.E.M. Lee
Theatre in Terrace Saturday
lo half-fill the auditorium,
but the crawd was somewhal
reluctant te participate.

i won't attempt a proper
review of the show because
quite frankly Homane so
completely failed to cast a
spell over me that [ didn't
return following the in-
termission. ‘The slight chill
in the hall was nolhing to
what the 30-year-old hyp-
notist got’ from the crowd.

The obviously exasperated
performer, who walked
onstage alone withoul any
kind of warm-up, quite
quickly came out into the
audience (o draft subjects
for his few supposed feats of
mental magic. Ashe jumped
from the stage, the Win-
nipeg-based showman swore
and said he had full houses in
other Lowns in this tour.

He complained to the
audience about their of
response, saying that a full
house wasn't necessary for a
good whow. Romane, facing
such obvious reluctance to
join in, took some cheap jabs
at fellow hypnotist Raveen,
commenting that perhaps
the a audience would be
more accepting if he had a
beard and an Austrailian
aecent.

He went through a couple
of transparent acts af * see
me write down a ‘number |
couldn't possibly know’ then
with little attempl to
disguise the fact, kept the
pencil and paper in his hand
until he could write down the
number as it was announced.

Tp get his subjects for the
major part of his stage show
he cranked up the sound on
sume terribly distorted
music until it was almost
unbearable, The idea being
‘thal it wouldn't be turned
down until you came on
stage or lorced someone else
to.

For a man who has been
doing hypnotism for two
decades, it seemed to take a
tedious length of time for
him to pul his subjects un-
der. To give him credit he
did remove a féllow from the
trance and the stage when he
noticed a cast, saying he
didn't want the fellaw to
inadvertantly hurt himself.

What convinced me that 1
