Alcan blasts Kemano’s naysayers

THERE’S PLENTY of smoke

at hearings into the Kemano.

Completion Project, but Alcan
says there has so far been little
fire.

Company vice-president Bill
Rich painted a picture of the pro-
ject opponents as being more in-
terested in public opinion than the
facts,

Alcan officials called the press
conference Friday in an cffort to
put their own spin on the evi-
dence heard to date at the B.C.
Utilities Commission public hear-
ings into the
hydroelectric project.

Rich said opponents unfairly
damaged Alcan’s reputation dur-

TOM GINGLES is the Terrace
and District Chamber of Com-
merce’s 1994 business executive
of the year.

His name was announced at a
May 30 combined chamber of
commerce and Terrace Rotary
club luncheon.

Also known as Junior, Gingles
will be the subject of words of
congratulations of friends and as-
sociates and be presented with a
plaque al the chamber’s annual
installation banquet Saturday,

ing the hearings.

He also atlacked the faction of
former fisheries scientists who
maintain the water flows left in
the Nechako after the project will
be insufficient.

Rich said the flow levels sought
by the renegade - fisheries
scientists would reduce Alcan’s
present water consumption.

‘What they would like to sce
would result in us not being able
to Tun even our present power-
house at a sufficient rate to
maintain our present level of pro-
duction at our smelter in
Kitimat.”

"Those scientists, Rich noted,
admitted they have not followed

The owner of the Skecna Rent-
A-Car Tilden outlet here, Gingles
emigrated from Ireland to Van-
couver in 1968 and moved ta Ter-
race in 1969,

He entered the car rental busi-
ness in 1972 and now runs Tilden
operations from Prince Rupert to
Kamloops. The rental fleet num-
bers more than 300 vehicles.

A long time member of the Ter-
race Rotary. club, Gingles
sponsors a variety of local sport-

the work done since the setile-
ment agreement was reached in
1987 granting Alcan the right to
divert up to half the remaining
water in the Nechako,

‘‘A number of those senior
scientists shut off the clock,
stopped work in 1987 and are not
aware of the extensive work of
DFO and the Nechako Fisheries
Conservation Program in the last
seven years,’’ added Alcan’s en-
vironmental consultant, Bruce
Jenkins. “‘Admitting that they
haven’t used up to seven years of
data is a major error of omis-
sion.’””
