Abbatoir break-in nets
;1,500 worth of meat
Last Monday was one of those days when
Frank Thompson of Brussels felt he. should
have stayed In bed. As usual for a Monday
morning, Mr. Thompson. owner of Thomp-
son's Meat Market. arrived at his abbatoir at
6 a.m. to butcher cattle. Noticing a break-in
had taken place, he called the Wingham
O.P.P.
A report prepared by investigating officer.
Constable A.J. Hunter. says thieves had
gained entry by prying open a door on the
south side of the building. The abbatoir is on
lot 28. concession five. Morris township.
Mr. Thompson said the abbatoir, "was
spring house cleaned." Three head of cattle.
waiting for the day to begin. were the only
witnesses to the theft of approximately $1500
in meat. M. . Thompson said 300 pounds of
salmon ready for Lent was taken. A hind
quarter of beef was taken from the cooler
and the meat saw and knife to do their own
cutting." '
Also missing were several cases of
boneless beef, sausage trimmings and six. 50
pounds boxes of tripe and lungs. The tripe is
normally processed for pet food. The f:ooler
was cleaned out, said Mr. Thompson. Some
neat products were stacked near a door,
ready to be loaded. "1 figure the break-in took
place at 3 or 4 early Monday morning because
meat stacked near the door showed no signs
of thawing."
"Six cases of turkeys were left behind,"
Mr. Thompson said. "They left the turkeys,
but took the tripe. All that was left in the
freezer was a bottle of Coffee Rich." Items
taken are covered by insurance. The
investigation continues.
As for a regular Monday, Mr. Thompson
said, "we were a little later getting started."
Returning to his automobile later in the day,
Mr. Thompson noticed he had left his parking
lights on resulting in a dead battery. But his
luck returned when a passing motorist
offered hint a ride into Brussels.
Grey questions
A Ministry of the Envi-
ronment employee has taken
responsibility for the fact
Grey Township Council was
not notified that sludge from
the Brussels treatment plant
was being spread on a local
field.
At a Brussels meeting Feb.
1 of MOE representatives and
Grey and Morris township
.councillors, Henry Rouw said
the Dec. 13 incident was "a
mistake on my part".
Mr. Rouw, who is with the
ministry's Utility Operation
branch, is operator of the
Brussels plant.
He said that when spread-
ing equipment became bog-
ged down in a Morris town-
ship field. he made the
decision to dispose of the
sludge on a 10 -acre portion of
a Grey Township farm.
The equipment, he said.
was costing 560 an hour. and
was "bogged down to the
axles with a 30 -ton load."
"I realize I overstepped my
bounds...but the (Grey) farm-
er said, come on and spread
it. 1 should have investigated
further. 1 didn't think it would
do any harm."
Mr. Rouw said he was
unaware at the time that a
permit had been granted for
spring, not winter. applica-
tion.
Asked by Grey Township
Coun. Fred Uhler if the
ministry is obliged to notify
local councils about the
spreading of sludge, a mini-
stry official said this is the
usual policy.
But. in the case of Grey
Township. "no doubt we
made a mistake", said Wil-
lard Page of the MOE Owen
Sound office,
A Morris Township council
member said that this council
has not seen a copy of the
ministry certificate of appro-
val until January. after the
sludge had been spread.
"The stuff is dumped be-
fore we are toid about it, then
people ask us why we didn't
do anything. This really
burns me up."
Grey Deputy Reeve Lyle
Pettapiece agreed. Local
councils, he said, "bear the
brunt" of complaints from
the public.
Asked by Coun. Uhler why
considerable advance notice
isn't given to municipal coun-
cils so they have time to
comment, Mr. Page said that
while it is ministry policy to
inform councils, it is not
considered necessary to con-
sult them.
"But if your objection is
reasonable, I'm sure the
ministry would listen."
Mark Bell, of the ministry's
London office, said that
/most" councils "accept the
expertise" of ministry em-
ployees.
He also said that he hoped
to convince Grev and Morriss

council members there was
"nothing wrong with the
sludge".
Its heavy metal content, he
said. was "well below the
allowable limit". Mercury
content, for example, was .05
and .4 is the limit.
"You could apply that
sludge for 50 years and not
exceed the limit," he said.
It was, he said. not raw, but
treated sludge, and was con-
sidered safe in regard to
pathogenic organisms. •
Mr. Bell said that a news-
paper report stating that the
sludge, if exposed to an
extremely high temperature,
yielded an oil content of 25
per cent, was erroneous.
"1 assure you the oil
content 'was nothing like
that."
Grey Coun. Graeme Mac-
Donald, who last month wrote
to the ministry about the Dec.
13 incident, said he believes
the relationship between mu-
nicipalities and the ministry
is deteriorating.
"I wish the ministry would
work with us. Through co-
operation, things like this
could be resolved.
