CASTLEGAR NEWS Friday, August 11, 1978 POLICE AID ORE MOVE aa Continued from page had hoped to remove ™ samples and equipment imme- diately but demonstrators soon arrived after the barricade was torn down, ‘ “We wanted to prevent a confrontation,” he said. “The Jast thing we wanted in the world was a confrontation.” Tillie Makortow, one of ‘two residents on picket duty at a barricade of signs and boards at the top of the access road, said the move to evacuate equipment and ore samples began when Manny head Emmanuel Amendolagine, ar- rived at the scene at around 2 m, “Just all of a sudden a Jeep drove up and he got out,” she said. "He started tearing the barricade down.” Neither she nor the other picketer, Fred McGregor, re- sisted Amendolagine's dis- mantling of the barricade, she said. McGregor, whose son Herb Chabot's Suggestion: will be tried Oct. 24 with two other Genelle men on charges of intimidation in a previous confrontation with police at the site, said he walked down the road to telephone McKenzie when Amendolagine started tearing down the barricade. “The police cars were already sct up,” he said. “It had already been done beforehand.” Also contacied this week Ellen Grant, who hampered the removal of the samples by helicopter last Thursday, told the Castlegar News that the ore was packed in six wooden erates “about four feet long and eight inches wide.” She said she sat down on the helicopter’s third load after watching it transport two loads from the drilling site, at around Tam. Grant said members of the drilling crew made no attempt to resist her but readied the load for take-off before the helicopter circled and landed nearby. The pilot approached her shortly afterward, talked briefly with her and “said he probably wouldn't come back again,” she said, Kowalehuk told the Castle- gar News that in his inspection of the water intake shortly after the removal of the ore he saw several drill holes which had vither not been covered or were only partially covered at the drilling site. He said one hole which had been blasted out of the rock was about four feet in diameter and contained muddy water and debris, and there were indications that the water level in the hole had dropped by eight feet because of seepage. Kowalchuk said he expect- ed oil spills and soil disturbance resulting from use of the access road to eventually wash down and affect the watershed, Amendolagine was un- available for comment this week on Manny's plans for further exploration of the con- sortium claim in the area, ‘Send Complaints to AEC’ rContinued from page AT told the Castlegar News the opportunity to request such re- serves has not previously been available to local government. “Before it was only offered to another provincial govern- ment agency or Crown corpor- ation,” he said. “But all the reserve does is prevent new claims from being filed,” D'Arcy continued, “It doesn’t prevent old claims from being explored.” Despite their inability to prevent exploration, such watershed reserves could have’ some effect on decisions by Atomic Energy Canada — the federal agency responsible for regulating uranium explora- tion—on the approval of ex- ploration permits, he said, Another development in the Tuesday meeting was Cha- bot’s suggestion to the Genelle delegation that they forward to the AEC, their objections on the actual manner in which tests were carried out by Manny Consultants on behalf of the China Creek Uranium Con- sortium, D'Arcy said. He said the minister told the Genelle residents they should send their AEC pres- entation to his ministry for corroboration. D'Arey said Chabot and mines ministry staff attending the meeting apparently “re- alized for the first time the in- tensity of the feeling amongst the people of Genelle” on the exploration. The minister had still believed those opposing the China Creek tests “were not representative of the people at large,” he said. Gordon Rutley, a member of the delegation which met with Chabot, said he found the meeting informative and be- lieved it changed the previous impressions the minister had of Genelle residents. CASTLEGAR NEWS Off Page One FIRE DEPARTMENT Continued from page Al wouldn't have had to worry about that kind of thing,” he said. He said that even before the fire he and several neigh: bors had decided to install an accessible standpipe hydrant and plan the purchase of addi- onal equipment for fire pro- tection in their immediate area. Water from the standpipe, installed two days before the fire, was used to protect their houses from the nearby blaze, he said. Standpipe hydrants would be among the equipment for which a fire department in the area would have responsibility, Churehes said, “In discussion with the committee the Robson Irriga- tion District has been ex- tremely co-operative in assist- ing us and has expressed a willingness to help us obtain the necessary fittings and sup- plics in areas serviced by the RID,” he said. But the committee also hopes to secure equipment to protect the homes of residents Referendum Fate Undecided Put Off Vote-Bonner Continued from page Al H director Norman Brewster told the Castlegar News he and other members of the board were impressed by Bonner's affected by a heavy on the water system, he said, “We want to be able to purchase tank trucks as well as pumps to pick up water from the river," the steering com- mittee spokesman said, He said one of the groups most vulnerable to the Robson fire hazard is the elderly residents. “They are more vulnerable in that it's hard for them to fend for themselves in an emer. gency,” Churches said, “They become more disoriented in a panic,” “It shouldn't be that a 70-year-old man has to fight tooth and nail to save his property.” Area J director Martin Vanderpol, who represents the Robson area on the Regional District of Central Kootenay board, said this week he was “investigating all possibilities” for financial assistance from regional and provincial levels of government. Genelle demonstrators allow drilling crew to pass offer fast Thursday's two-hour confrontation against a referendum. “The board is not disposed to tolerating any destruction of the amenities at Kootenay Lake,” he said, referring to one of the areas which would be af- fected by the diversion. “But it doesn't seem very sensible for the board to hold a referendum without some very elementary information anyone voting would have to know.” The Hydro chairman told the board B.C. will “throw away 370 million kilowatt hours” if it does not exercise its option under the Columbia River Treaty to build the di- version, Brewster said. “What he claims is that it will then have to be made up by some other developments which may not be as benign as the Kootenay Diversion,” he said, The Area H director said board members may be forced to choose the diversion as “the lesser of two evils" in com- parison with nuclear and ther- mal plants as an energy source. Hydro's second-phase re- port on the environmental im- pact of the proposed diver- sion —containing the additional information Bonner suggested the board study before deciding. to hold a referendum—will not be-available by November, he said. “I do think that when the information is in, there won't be people voting against the Koot- enay Diversion referendum un- less there is some very com- plete evidence that it won't harm Kootenay Lake,” Brew- ster said. “Some guarantee would have to be given as to the maintenance of lake levels within a degree of tolerance to prevent damage to property and tourism and recreation.” But Area J director Martin Vanderpol this week challenged Bonner's suggestion that the second-phase report would give RDCK directors a clearer pic- ture of the environmental im- “The problem with B.C. Hydrd is,that Lhey don't know whether anything is feasible until they've built it," Vander- pol said. He described as “crap” the Hydro chairman's statement that the diversion would pro- vide substantial benefits to the region. “The benefits are going as usual to the province, not to this area,” the Area J director said, Honner wants to use the diversion option as'a main + bargaining point in a “poker game” with U, S, power author.’ ities, he said, : “But what if the Ameri ns call his bluff?"

The committee said pur- chasing the property and widening the street would be ‘| preferable to repairing the wall. Council proposed the pur- chase of the property several months ago but decided after obtaining an appraisal of the Property that it could not meet the $50,000 price quoted by the owner, dealer's permission.
