Mill hearings to
come to Edmonton

EDMONTON (CP) — Alberta En-
vironment Minister Ralph Klein has
changed his mind and will hold public
hearings in Edmonton on a proposed
pulp mill in northern Alberta.

Klein at first wanted to hold the
meetings for the Alberta-Pacific pulp
mill at Athabasca only in nearby com
munities.

He repeatedly refused requests for
hearings in Edmonton and Calgary,
the province's two largest cities. But he
said that public pressure won out

Following conversations with
federal Environment Minister Lucien
Bouchard and several environmental
groups, Klein added Edmonton to the
list

No date has been set for the Edmon.
to meetings, but Klein said they will
be held after the other hearings are
completed on Dec. 2

Opposition critics applauded the
move.

“Mr. Klein is doing no more than
recognizing the legitimate right of Ed
montonians to take their place in the
debate on the future of Alberta's Nor:
th,"" said New Democrat John Mcin
nis.

However, he added that other cen
tres in Alberta should have similar
hearings if the minister is really com:
mitted to public input

Liberal critic Grant Mitchell and an
environmental spokesman urged Klein
toadd Calgary to the list

“I know the people in Calgary are
clamoring for hearings there, too,
said Randy Lawrence, spokesman for
the Edmonton chapter of Friends of
the North.

REJECTS CALL

But Klein rejected that idea
“There's got to be a limit to where we
end these public hearings. | know that
there's a question of access. . . but ac
cess to Edmonton is very, very easy,”
he said.

Klein said he hoped environmental
groups won't use the hearings to ad
vance their political agendas

“would not like it (0 become a cir

down suggestions that he. had

“The Top Gun Rel, hip Selling
System reaches beyond any industry,
product or service and all experience
levels,” Babbel says

“What's being sold or who is selling
it matters less, What matters most, is
who is buying it. This course is on un.
derstanding whaj makes people buy
and how to get ifn to buy from you.”*

With over 22 years of marketing ex.
perience, Babbel, now a professional
business trainer, has spent the last four
years travelling across the country
presenting business seminars.

His presentation —is—both
motivational and entertaining. Inex:
perienced and seasoned salespeople
alike have given high praise to the
Top Gun course, the FBDB says.

The Top Gun seminar applies to all
types of sales and salespeople because
it deals with the universal components
of human nature and what
people decide to buy or not buy, the
FBDBsays.

It explains how to build trust, how
and when the decision to buy is made,
how to remove pressure and stress on a
customer and how to reduce the fear of

makes

making the wrong decision

It also provides the tools for effiec-
tive selling, such as the words, idgas
and methods to make a salesperson
comfortable with the process of selling
his or her product, the major objec
tions and how to deal with them, the
FBDB says.

The serhinar is being co-sponsored
by the Federal Business Development

It will be held on Nov. 8 at the
