Incineration experts article from page 6 Kearns of Kearns Inter- national and to provide testimony to Six Nations Elected Council, since they are the ones who are deciding the fate of this deal. "The whole com- munity is going to have to bare the brunt of this thing. The pollution that comes out of this inciner- ator is going to be a whole community problem. I'm offering to come at no ex- pense to let people hear both sides and let them make a judgment." John Kearns told 1\.vo Row Times in an interview that, "The incinerator is a natural producer of tox- ins. It releases them into the atmosphere, that's the downside to inciner- ation." However Kearns claims his machine is not an incinerator, but rather a "disintegrator" which renders toxic. materials inert. "My machine has been proven beyond a doubt by academic testi- mony. My ash is 250,000 times cleaner then what they're asking for. I'm al- lowed 10,000 parts car- bon in the ash. This ma- chines delivers 0.04." Six Nations Elect- ed Council's Negotia- tion Committee for the waste incinerator have announced a commu- nity meeting sometime during the first week of June. They have assured the community they ha- ven't signed anything yet and John Kearns will be at the meeting to answer any questions commu- nity members may have. Sitting on the Negotiation Committee for the waste incinerator are Bob John- son, ex-chief Bill Montour, Lewis Staats, Darryl Hill, Dayle Bomberry and Mike Montour, Director of Public Works.
