Dave Zirnhelt Court hears timber tiff $5m wood seizure disputed FEDERAL LAWYERS are due ill court today arguing over the fate of $5 million worth of logs piled up in two locations near Prince Rupert. The wood, 27,000 cubic metres cut earlier this year, is the focal point of a dispute involving Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, the Port Simpson band, a B.C. helicopter company and a Japanese company. ~ Indian and Northern Affairs officials seized the wood in August, saying the band hadn't received a permit to cut trees on federal reserve lands. That placed the federal government ill a tentative owner- ship position, one which it doesn't relish and one that's drawn a lot of heat. The Japanese company is angry because it has paid more than $2 million for I0,000 cubic metres of wood it didn't get, the Port Simpson band is angry because it wants to sell the wood for needed revenue and VIII Helicopters is angry because it hasn't been paid an estimated $900,000 by the band for work connected to the logging. If that weren't enough, the logging dispute threatens to disrupt land claims negotiations between the Tsimshian m Port Simpson is a Tsimshian village m and the federal and provincial governments. Federal lawyers today are scheduled to ask thc Supreme Court to declare that the logs don't belong to the Japanese company or the band. "Both have f'ded statements of claim," said Indian and Northern Affairs official Toni Timmermans last week. "We're asking the court to declare they don't own them. That means, by default, those logs belong to us." / Hello, 1997 If that happens, Timmermans continues, the federal government will sell the logs.
