Mrs. Dorothy Dove of Thunder Bay, shown here in- specting a flower, was the judge for the Terrace Bay Horticultural Club's Beautification Contest held on Contest judge August 12. First place went to the R. Payette home at 472 Princess Avenue, while R. Seidel was second and G.T. Withers came out third out of 27 entries. Dioxin discovery clarified A Ministry of Environ- ment news release, which was published in 'the News last week, did not tell the whole story, a Ministry spokesman said this week. The story reported that a form of dioxin had been found in sludge taken by the Ministry from the Kimberly-Clark pump mill in Terrace Bay. The Min- istry study found tetra dioxin at a level of 180 parts per trillion (ppt) in the mill's sludge. Schreiber's Heinz 57 team defeate A K-C source explained that dioxin tends to be a "*scare" word and that not all forms of dioxin are deadly. He added that the Ministry erred when it said sludge is disposed of at ap- proved landfill sites. That may be true for some mills, but K-C disposes of its own sludge by burning it in a power boiler. Jim Murphy, the Minist- ry's Environmental Officer in Thunder Bay, told the News that the deadliest tA winners form of dioxin, known as 2,3,7,8-TCDD, was not found in the K-C sludge or in any of the other sludge samples taken from seven other Ontario pulp and paper mills during the study. Thunder Bay Regional Biologist Dave Hollinger added that there are about 75 different forms of diox- in, and most of them are not nearly as toxic as 2,3,7,8-TCDD. d Terrace Bay's Rodgers Dodgers during the Fun in the Fog Mixed Slo-Pitch Tournament to win the 'B' Division. The event was held on the August 9 weekend. (Photo supplied by Gerry Withers) put us in our place! & In fact, the low con- centration of tetra dioxin found in Terrace Bay is really "nothing to be con- cerned about,"' he said. "It is an extremely low toxic dioxin, not even one- one hundredth as toxic as 2,3,7,8-TCDD,"' Holling- er noted. "In terms of the other mills tested, the K-C mill was relatively clean."' Only tetra dioxin was found in the K-C sludge, he explained, adding that it was free from other dioxins and furans, which are in the dioxin family. The Ministry sampling was conducted following the detection of 2,3,7.8- TCDD dioxin in sludge from Boise Cascade's sec- ondary treatment system in Fort Frances and at other mills in Maine, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The values found were below current US Environmental Protect- ion Agency cleanup criteria of 1,000 ppt. Terrace Bay-Schrelber News, Wednesday, August 20, 1986, page 5 y By Winnie Campbell Rev.
