Man-camp starting June:
Hotel-like open camp
by Helen Solmes
The Voyageur Trailer Court will be an open camp for Mosaic contractors
only, according to the company’s expansion project manager, Paul McMillen,
who met with the Town of Esterhazy’s mayor, Herb Hozjan; aldermen Bob
Unchulenko, Lorne Schentag, Bryan Brewer, Pauline Jeannot and Roy Spence;
and with RCMP Sgt. Lawrence Whiteman on Feb. 9 to discuss the 450- to 550man camp to be built in the trailer court on the west boundary of the town,
according to the minutes of the committee.
McMillen stated that the open camp will be operated similar to a hotel. There
could be accommodations for 44 contractors as early as June; however the camp
is expected to be in operation from September, 2010, to January, 2012.
China orders 350,000 MT
Canpotex potash
by Helen Solmes
Canpotex, the marketing agency for the three Saskatchewan potash companies – PotashCorp, Mosaic Co and Agrium – has reached a contract agreement
with China’s Sinofert to deliver approximately 350,000 metric tonnes of potash
before the end of March,
The sale price was not officially announced; however, it is estimated to be in
the lower end of a USD $350-410-per-tonne range.
PotashCorp made the announcement on Feb. 8, indicating that second-quarter potash prices will reflect “much-improved” conditions. “As a result of this
[spot] sale, Canpotex is now fully committed on sales through the first quarter
of 2010 and will announce plans with respect to second-quarter pricing early in
March, after thoroughly reviewing the changing and much-improved overseas
potash market conditions,” a company press release dated Feb. 8 stated.

Police complement to get
worse before it gets better
by Helen Solmes
Esterhazy town council
took no comfort in RCMP
Sgt. Lawrence Whiteman’s
news that the local policing complement will get
worse before it gets better. Cpl. Lisa Cooper who
has been the supervisor
and an investigating officer working out of the
Langenburg
RCMP
office, is being transferred to Division ‘F’
head office in Regina.
Cst. Jesse Nkwama
has been assigned to
administration work
until her pregnancy
leave and will not be
replaced during her
leave,
Cst. Al Dmytryshyn is
to be transferred out this
summer, and Cst. Scott
McAuley has been promoted to corporal and
“More
police
officers
would
mean
we
would
need
a
bigger
building.”
Sgt. Whiteman
Jade Kerr will represent Esterhazy High
School during the South Saskatchewan CANWEST Canspell National finals in Regina on
Feb. 26.
Maintaining
school tradition
An Esterhazy High
School student will represent the school in the
provincial spelling bee
finals for the third year
in a row.
Jade Kerr has beaten
out Grade 5-8 students
both within the school
and regionally to claim
one of 40 spots in the
South Saskatchewan
CANWEST Canspell
National finals in
Regina on Feb. 26.
Kerr is an avid reader,
particularly mystery
and action novels, and
has scored above her
grade level on reading
comprehension during
scholastic achievement
tests.
Previous finalists
were Cassidy Rue in
2008
and
Nicole
Marchand in 2009.
“Nicole has been
coaching me on what to
do,” Kerr said. “She has
told me to take my time,
even if I am sure of the
spelling.”

will be transferred shortly to Rosburn.
Cst. McAuley and
Dmytryshyn and Cpl.
Cooper will be replaced
with incoming officers in
time.
Town mayor, Herb
Hozjan, and aldermen
have been in discussion
with Sgt. Whiteman
since last fall regarding
the council’s concerns for
policing levels now and
in the future when the
number of contract
labourers could reach as
many as 1,000 in the
area surrounding Mosaic
Potash Esterhazy’s mine
sites, while the potash
company continues to
expand its milling capacity, its tailing ponds, and
continues to conduct site
analysis of potential K3
mine sites.
The Esterhazy and
Langenburg offices cover
Esterhazy, Atwater,
Langenburg, MacNutt,
Churchbridge, Stockholm,
Dubuc, Spy Hill, Gerald,
Tantallon,
Calder,
Bangor and Yarbo, as
well as Bird’s Point and
West End resort villages
and six rural municipalities: the RMs of Spy Hill,
Grayson Langenburg,
Churchbridge, Fertile
Belt, and Calder.
“More police officers
would mean that we
would need a bigger
building,” Sgt. Whiteman
told council during its
regular meeting on Feb.
10, “with more visibility.
We would like to be
downtown or on Highway
No. 22.
“Council is hoping for a
larger contingency. We
would need a lot more
room.”
The town office was
designed to allow for an
addition to the west of
the existing building,
Mayor Hozjan reported
to council. “I am not talking about an addition in
the next six months or
year,” he said. “It would
have to be a budget item
for five, maybe 10 years
down the road.”
“We are doing the best
we can with the staff
that we have,” Sgt.
Whiteman said. “We will
be meeting with the
Minister of Public Safety
to see if we can get two
or more officers.”
Regina Beach artist Ward Schell led a two-day Portrait Painting in
Acrylics workshop for 15 artists. The workshop was hosted by the
Esterhazy ad District Arts Council on Feb. 6 and 7. Schell is a graduate of the Emily Carr School of Art in Vancouver, the University of
Regina, and the Banff School of Fine Arts. Schell recently completed
murals for the Calgary Heritage Park.
Fraud, theft case
adjourned to March 9
by Helen Solmes
The court hearing for
former
Esterhazy
accountant Jim Besler
has been adjourned for a
third time, this time
until March 9.
Besler first appeared
in provincial court on
Oct. 6, in Moosomin, one
day after he presented
himself to Esterhazy
RCMP. He was charged
with fraud over $5,000
and theft over $5,000.
Besler appeared in
provincial court on Nov.
10; however, a provincial court judge was not
in attendance and
Besler’s
case
was
adjourned. He was
scheduled to appear
again on Dec. 22 and
again Feb. 9. On both
occasions, the matter
was handled by teleconference and an adjournment granted.
Besler was a senior
partner in the former
Skilnick Besler Miller
Moar and Company
accounting
firm.
Following Besler’s unannounced departure from
Esterhazy and disappearance, the firm was
renamed Skilnick Miller
Moar
Grodecki
&
Kreklewich.
A warrant for Besler’s
arrest was issued in
September. On Oct. 5,
he turned himself in to
the Esterhazy RCMP.
He was taken into custody overnight and
appeared in provincial
court in Moosomin the
next day, charged, and
released on undertaking.

Er . . . what’s up stock?
There is a way to make a lot of
money in the market; unfortunately it
is the same way to lose a lot of money
in the market.
Peter Passell and Leonard Rose
When it comes to risking money I
am a cautious man. I don’t bet on the
ponies and I don’t play poker. Crap
games? Not likely. Lottery tickets?
Do I look like that big a fool?
And I certainly don’t dabble in the
market. Nope, I play my financial
cards close to my vest and I pinch my
nickels until the beavers squeal.
Mind you there was a time when I
was tempted to take a flyer. The lure
was dat ole debbil temptress, gold. I
was young, employed and had some
shekels to spare and decided it might
not be a bad time to buy a few ounces.
But then good sense prevailed. Surely
it would be better to wait a few weeks
until the price of the commodity came
down. After all, $35 was an outrageous price to pay for an ounce of gold.
That was then – 1965 or thereabouts. As I type, the price of gold is
cresting well above $1,000 an ounce.
If I’d had the foresight to borrow, say
10 grand back in the sixties and sink it
into gold stocks . . . well, let’s just say I
wouldn’t be typing these words, I’d
have hired someone to do it for me.
Someone like, oh, say, my financial
advisor.
Yeah, and if wishes were horses I’d
be riding in Cinderella’s coach behind
12 matched Lipizzaner stallions. I
could (if I had the wherewithal)
always climb aboard the bullion buggy
this afternoon but I don’t have the
nerve. Gold may be a heavy metal
but it’s still too flighty for me. So
what else – energy stocks? Crude oil,
perhaps? Yeah, right. In the past 10
years oil’s gone from under 20 dollars
a barrel to over a hundred. What is it
this morning – sixty? Eighty? Forty?
I’ll pass on the petroleum roller coaster, thanks. Same thing with soybean
and pork belly futures – way too risky.
Nope, if I was a gambling man I’d
shun the soft yellow lure of gold for
something darker and softer. Like
chocolate.
Seriously. Gold had a good decade
but chocolate had a better one, posting
a 288-per-cent profit between 2000
and 2010. But guess what commodity
did the best of all – better than gold,
silver, platinum – or chocolate – over
the past 10 years.
The cigarette. Yep, the most profitable stock market investment turns
out to be the lowly gasper. Which is
ironic, considering that over the last
10 years, most western countries have
banned smoking in bars, restaurants
and public spaces.
Truth is, tobacco floggers couldn’t
care less, because they’ve found some
new suckers for the drug they peddle.
According to Patrick Collinson, investment columnist for The Guardian
newspaper, cigarette manufacturers
more than made up for lost markets in
the west with fast-growing sales in
countries like Nigeria and Pakistan.
Nice, huh? Of the two most popular
commodities we produce, one rots your
teeth and the other rots your lungs.
But you don’t have to compromise
your morals by investing in anything
as foul as tobacco. I’ve got another hot
tip for you: beer.
Sure. Suppose you had a thousand
dollars and invested it one year ago in
Delta Air Lines stock. You would have
about fifty bucks today.
If you’d invested your grand in
American International Group Inc.
(AIG) a year ago, you’d have $33
today.
Could be worse. A thousand-dollar
investment in Lehman Brothers or
Enron would leave you with exactly
zero in your current bank account.
On the other hand if you’d bought a
thousand bucks worth of beer this
time last year, drank all the beer and
turned the cans in for the recycling
refund you’d have $214, give or take a
buck.
That’s more than enough to purchase a nice wheelbarrow to chauffeur
your liver around.
All kidding aside, you don’t want to
take any investment advice from me.
Not only am I a chickenbleep when it
comes to gambling, I’m not terribly
lucky either.
Although there was that one lucky
streak I had in Vegas a few years
back.
Oh yeah, I remember it well.
Drove into the parking lot of the Sands
Hotel behind the wheel of my crummy
five-year old Chevy Malibu. After 24
hours at the tables I rode home in
style – tinted windows, designated
driver, the works.
In a brand new $150,000 Greyhound
bus.
LOOKING BACK
Fifty years ago, 1960 -
A mining technique that had been proven in Europe but
was new to the western hemisphere was imported by
International Minerals and Chemical Corporation (Canada)
Ltd. to assure “long-term efficiency and safety” in the operation of the potash mine that was under construction back
then in Saskatchewan. The technique, called tubbing,
employs a cast iron lining for the mine shaft. It was a vertical application of cast iron vehicular tunneling commonly
used under rivers and lakes.
Forty years ago, 1970 -
Rev. Marcel A. George arrived to take over duties as
parish priest in Our Ladies of Victories Parish. He succeeded Rev. Dobbel Steen, who was forced to resign because of ill
health. Father George was a native of Saskatchewan, having been born in Antler.
Thirty years ago, 1980 -
The Canadian Association of Postmasters and Assistants
recently issued a letter to community newspapers which had
needlessly generated community concern and controversy.
To set the matter straight, the Postmaster General, The
Honorable John Fraser issued the following statement:
“Closing small rural post offices on Saturdays will not
become Canada Post policy until an overall study of rural
mail service is completed.”
Twenty years ago, 1990 -
Saskatchewan Winter Games officially opened on Feb. 18
in Melville, with a capacity crowd on hand in the Melville
Stadium. As part of the ceremonies, athletes paraded in
according to zones. Potashville area was part of Zone 4 –
which had the largest team ever for the zone.

SUMA bearpit shows
health is still the issue
Maybe Premier Brad Wall’s
Saskatchewan Party cabinet
wouldn’t have been all that
shocked to hear that health
care was the top-of-mind issue.
Nevertheless, that health
reports
care delivery so dominated the
‘bearpit session’ at this month’s
from the
SUMA’s annual conference in
Regina tells us much about
what’s on voters’ minds these
days.
For the uninitiated, at the
annual gathering of local mayors, councillors and administrators, SUMA holds what’s affectionately known as the ‘cabinet bearpit’ –
an opportunity for average locally elected officials to grill provincial cabinet ministers on anything.
It’s a tradition that’s interesting for a couple reasons.
First, that SUMA can summons the entire provincial cabinet before its
assembly for a no-holds-barred accountability session says much about
the clout SUMA has. It’s often hard for organizations to get a single minister to their annual meetings – let alone the Premier and the entire cabinet for a public accountability session.
There again, no organization in Saskatchewan represents a more thorough cross-section of this province, spanning the urban-rural split, all
geographic regions and all political stripes. And perhaps no organization
is closer to the voters.
Second, the neat thing about the SUMA bearpit each year is that it
doesn’t matter whether you’re the mayor of Saskatoon or Regina or a
councillor from the smallest village: You still get to grill the Premier and
cabinet anything they want. This makes the SUMA bearpit a pretty good
gauge of what’s on the minds of voters right now.
And judging by the question at the most recent bearpit, it wasn’t revenue shortfalls in the budget, carbon capture technology or funding
problems for the First Nations University that SUMA delegates want to
know about. The majority of questions were on health care.
Some of the questions mayors, councillors and administrators peppered at Health Minister Don McMorris with were broader and more
policy-based. For example, Weyburn Mayor Debra Button questioned
why communities outside Regina and Saskatoon should be expected to
pay 35 per cent of the capital costs for new hospital construction when
big city residents don’t have to. (McMorris replied that this has been the
long-standing tradition, that many local people want to contribute as a
means of exercising input and control, and that the practical reality is
that the province can build 10 hospitals instead of six if there this much
provincial contribution.)
Other questions were even more pointed, like the one from Willow
Bunch Mayor Renaud Bissonnette, SUMA’s vice-president of towns, who
pointed out the unfairness of smaller communities having to woo doctors
with costly incentives.
“What’s happening is there’s a bidding wars going on out there
between municipalities,” Bissonnette said. “There’s signing bonuses of
$50,000, there is cars, and there’s a place to live. You know what? That’s
big money.”
“It’s starting to be a concern with municipalities because we’re taking
our money which we’re supposed to use for paving streets and snow
removal and all that and we’re using it for doctor retention and recruitment.”
But other health questions were of a more personal nature. Elrose
Mayor June Hintze – who recently lost her husband to cancer – told the
moving story of her husband having to go to Alberta to see a cancer specialist to avoid the three-to-five-month wait at Saskatchewan cancer
clinics.
“If we’re not getting the health care that we should be getting in
Saskatchewan then people need to know that,” Hintze said. “We have a
big problem not only with specialists but retaining doctors in our community.”
McMorris later told reporters that he wasn’t all that surprised,
because health care is the issue that comes up most in caucus and cabinet meetings.
Given that, Wall, McMorris and company should be especially wary.
Judging by the SUMA bearpit, villages, towns and smaller cities want
some answers to the costly, complex questions revolving around health
care.

Club committed to grooming, signing trails
Changes to the provincial
snowmobile licensing regulations in the past few years
have made a world of difference for clubs like the
Esterhazy SuperSledders.
The changes have all been
for the good and for the betterment of the sport.
A few weeks ago, I was
invited to “take a ride” with
SuperSledders’ club president Randy Abdai, to have a
close look at what the club
has focused its energies on
this season and last. We met
at Kaposvar One Stop
Service (KOSS), headed
southeast, connected with
SuperSledders club president Randy Abdai
the abandoned CP rail line, at the club’s shack in the Kaposvar Creek valley
and sledded on a wellmarked groomed trail that ran parallel to the Kaposvar Creek, then along the edge of a
field and down into a glorious gully were Gerard Kristoff welcomed us with a warm fire
inside the club’s shack.
What a thrill to see one of my favourite summer hiking trails in wintertime. It took me
awhile to get my bearings – winter has a way
of transforming even the most familiar landscapes. It didn’t take long to shake the jitters
and realize that Randy is a skilled driver. He
has been sledding since he was 12 years old
and tells me that he has owned so many snowmobiles over the years that he has lost count.
An easy afternoon ride, I was told, would be
100 kilometres for a novice, and twice that for
veteran riders like Randy and Gerard. With a
driver like Randy, I would have been willing to
go straight through to Tantallon, and on to the
wonderful trails that I am told run from Spy
Hill to Rocanville and Moosomin. Alas, there
just was not enough time.
The SuperSledders Club endorses the
Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association’s
(SSA’s) trail system. Randy and Gerard recently completed a trail signage workshop and,
even before we finished coffee and the interview, Gerard was headed out on the trails to
make the recommended adjustments to the
signs and add a few new ones.
SGI automatically charges an extra $70 trail
permit fee on each snowmobile licence plate fee
which goes directly to the Saskatchewan

Recent government initiatives keep families safe and sound
by Garry Breitkreuz, MP
Yorkton-Melville
Canadian families have been facing the challenges
created by the global recession for more than a year.
Some businesses have seen sales decline and costs
increase, which puts pressure on workers and their
families. But as Canadian families stare down these
challenges, Canada’s future is looking brighter. There
is positive economic news surfacing now, and coupled
with the strong foundation of Canada’s Economic
Action Plan, we are better positioned to enjoy a more
prosperous tomorrow.
As we prepare the next federal budget, this government is continuing to strengthen Canada’s economy.
Through Canada’s Economic Action Plan, our government is delivering support for families, while
strengthening businesses and communities.
Self-employed Canadians have been sometimes
forced to set aside priorities like raising a family in
order to achieve success. That’s why we are helping to
give self-employed Canadians additional security by
delivering voluntary access to Employment Insurance
special benefits. This includes maternity, parental,
sickness and compassionate care benefits. Older
workers may also face unique challenges, especially if
they have lost their jobs after several continuous
years of employment. We are working to help them by
increasing EI benefits for those who are eligible by an
additional five to 20 weeks.
While the economy remains top of mind during the
global recession, crime prevention continues to be a
key issue for many Canadians. Protecting families
has always been a priority for us, and we are working
to deliver new anti-crime measures that will make
our streets safer.
We’ve recently passed a new law to end the practice
of two-for-one and three-for-one credit for time
served. We’ve worked to bring in tough new laws to
ensure that criminals who commit serious crimes
receive just sentences. Now, we are working to build
on that action by introducing legislation to end
Accelerated Parole Review. Until now, convicted
criminals have had the opportunity to get out of jail
after only serving one-sixth of their sentence through
this process. Our Conservative government is getting
tough on crime by ending this all-too-common practice.
Meanwhile, the Liberals are so out-of-touch with
Canadians that they used their majority in the
Senate to block our legislation that would protect
children from drug dealers. Proroguing Parliament is
helping to bring Senate committees back to earth so
our government can pass effective laws that will keep
families safe.

THE
S IDELINES
BY BRUCE PENTON
Feel-good story? McKeever gets gold
As one can clearly see,
Brian McKeever is one
of the most amazing
athletes on Canada’s
roster at this year’s
Winter Olympics being
held in Vancouver.
But McKeever, one of
11 members of Canada’s
cross-country ski team,
cannot see clearly at all.
In fact, he’s legally
blind.
The
native
of
Canmore, Alta., will
become
the
first
Canadian winter athlete
to ever compete in both
the regular Olympics
and the Paralympics,
the events for disabled
athletes that follows.
Five Paralympians have
competed
in
the
Olympics in summer
events. McKeever, 30,
will be the first to compete in the two competitions in the same year.
When he’s competing
as a Paralympian,
McKeever is allowed a
sighted guide. He
employs his brother
Robin for that task, but
in the regular Olympics,
he’s on his own. And
while it’s challenging for
McKeever, since he has
only 10 per cent vision,
most of it peripheral, he
is still one of the best in
the world at his sport.
McKeever started skiing almost as soon as he
could walk and by the
age of 12 he was competing. But when he was
18, he was diagnosed
with Stargaard’s disease, an inherited form
of macular degeneration
that his father, Bill, also
battled.
In this year’s Games,
McKeever will compete
in the 50-kilometre
event which he won at
the Canadian trials.
A story on the website
thestar.com,
said
McKeever called the
Paralympics
“the
Olympic Games for people with disabilities.”
McKeever said he hopes
his story shows people
the gap between the two
events isn’t that large.
“Just because somebody has a disability
doesn’t mean they are
not training hard or are
(not) extremely fit,” he
told the star.com. “I
think the Paralympics is
a great product.
“We have something
worth watching and I
hope my story will bring
more attention to that.”
• Bill Simmons of
ESPN.com
says
Philadelphia Eagles
cannot move ahead next
year with both head
coach Andy Reid and
quarterback Donovan
McNabb. One of them
has to go, he said: “How
much fun would it be if
Eagles owner Jeff Lurie
just held a news conference and flipped a coin?
Heads, McNabb; tails,
Reid.”
• Steve Rosenbloom,
ChicagoTribune.com:
“Oft-injured All-Star
pitcher Ben Sheets
would be a perfect Cub:
He could win 15 games
or tear his rotator cuff
signing the contract.”
•
Headline
at
SportsPickle.com: “Ben
Sheets excited about the
opportunity to work
with A’s team physician.”
• Dwight Perry in the
Seattle Times: “Tom
Schonberg
of
Westchester, N.Y., is
such a big Jets fan, the
New York Daily News
reported, that he named
his son Jake Edward
Thomas Schonberg – as
in J.E.T.S. Next up, no
doubt: Philadelphia
hails the arrival of one
Ben Otto Olson.”
• Scott Ostler, San
Francisco Chronicle:
(Al) Davis already has
an (offensive) attack
style picked out (for
next year’s Oakland
Raiders’ coach). And it’s
inscribed on easy-toread stone tablets.”
• Comedy writer Jerry
Perisho: Golfer Scott
McCarron said fellow
golf pro Phil Mickelson
is cheating because he
uses a club with square
grooves. “Speaking of
square grooves, everyone is heading this
weekend to the Barry
Manilow Invitational.”
• Minnesota manager
Ron Gardenhire, speaking at a stop on the
Twins Winter Caravan,
on the difficulty of resigning star catcher Joe
Mauer: “We just have to
decide whether to give
him Minneapolis or St.
Paul.”
• Found in Dwight
Perry’s Sideline Chatter
in the Seattle Times:
“Blue-chip receiver and
budding English major
Markeith Ambles, via
Twitter, upon announcing USC as his college
choice: "Go Trogans!!!!!!”
• Richard Oliver of
the
San
Antonio
Express-News, on Cavs
centre Shaquille O’Neal
turning 38 on March 6:
“When he drives to the
basket these days, he
keeps leaving his left
blinker on.”
• Jeff Schultz of the
Atlanta
JournalConstitution, on NBC
paying Conan O’Brien
$45 million to go away
and standing to lose
another $200 million on
the Winter Olympics:
“That’s why parent company General Electric
will be charging $237 for
a toaster come March.”
• Norman Chad, the
Washington Post on the
Super Bowl game being
played at Sun Life
Stadium near Miami.
“What, you’ve never
heard of Sun Life
Stadium? There’s a reason for that – it became
Sun Life Stadium about,
oh, 15 minutes ago.
Formerly Joe Robbie
Stadium (and Pro
Player Park and Pro
Player Stadium and
Dolphins Stadium and
Dolphin Stadium and
Land Shark Stadium), I
believe it once changed
names during an Olindo
Mare 54-yard field goal
attempt.”
• Former NBA star
Stephon Marbury has
signed a contract with
the
3-12
Shanxi
Zhongyu
Brave
Dragons, currently tied
for last place in the 17team
Chinese
Basketball Association.
The team owner said
“The aim of signing
Marbury is to pay back
our
fans.”
Asked
Washington
Post’s
Chad: “What ghastly
acts could the Brave
Dragons fans have committed to be paid back
this way?”
• Cam Hutchinson of
the Saskatoon StarPhoenix: “I’m thinking
Jacques Lemaire is the
only NHL coach who can
turn Ilya Kovalchuk into
a 20-goal scorer.”
• R.J Currie of sportsdeke.com: “The Canada
West swimming championships were held
recently in Lethbridge.
Not to suggest there was
anything fishy about the
men’s
400-metre
freestyle, but the winner’s name was Pickerl.”

All-American Stallion CC Jeremiah
Best All-American Horse CC Jacob
Two home-bred Clydesdale Creek horses voted All-American
by Helen Solmes
The Clydesdale Creek
(CC) bloodline continues
to earn top honours on
the
international
Clydesdale show scene.
CC Jeremiah, a stallion bred and raised by
Clydesdale Creek owners Delvin and Louise
Szumutku of Stockholm
has been named the AllAmerican 2009 Stallion
and CC Jacob has won
the Best All-American
Horse award for the second year in a row.
Both Clydesdales were
bred and raised by the
Szumutkkus. They have
been sold to Irish
Thunder Clydesdales in
Madison of Wisconsin,
to Patrick and Tanya
Connors.
“I was curious to know
how unique it is for a
Canadian horse to win
the Best Horse AllAmerican two years in a
row,” Delvin said. “I
have been told that it is
unique for a Canadian
horse to win the AllAmerican and extremely
unique for one to win
two years in a row.
“I was also told that it
was uncommom for a
Canadian stallion to win
the All-American and
very unique for two
home-bred Clydesdales
to win.”

VET TALK
with Dr. Justin Noble DVM
Campylobacteriosis, or
vibriosis, is a venereal
disease of cattle caused
by a bacterium that
lives in the lining of the
reproductive
tract.
Infection in a herd
reduces reproduction
and prolongs the calving
period. Pregnancy rates
may be reduced by up to
40 per cent in infected
herds. Vibriosis has a
severe
economical
impact on producers.
The bacteria causing
vibriosis can be found
everywhere! It most
commonly causes problems in community pastures or when different
groups of cows are
mixed during the breeding season. It can also
come from neighboring
cow herds or wintering
bulls from different
farms together. The
organism is transferred
between infected cows
by bulls. The bulls harbour the infection in
their sheath. As bulls
age, the lining of their
sheath develops folds,
which can effectively
harbour the vibrio
organism. Therefore,
older bulls are more
likely to harbour the
organism and carry it
between cows than
young bulls. Infection
establishes quickly in a
herd. A cow or a bull
can act as carriers and a
source of infection in
future breeding seasons
for the rest of the herd.
Cows and bulls infected with the bacteria
show no clinical signs.
They appear happy and
healthy.
However,
infected cows will cycle
consistently but not conceive. The bulls will
work hard throughout
the breeding season and
longer if left in the pasture. Some cows will
eventually recover from
the infection and conceive. This will result in
a long and drawn out
calving season the following spring. In certain instances, the only
evidence of the infection
is a high rate of open
cows and a high rate of
late cows at pregnancy
checking time. A small
percentage of cows will
abort at four-to-seven
months of gestation.
The bacteria causes
irritation of the lining of
the reproductive tract in
female cattle, leading to
delays in conception and
may lead to them
becoming barren due to
permanent damage to
the reproductive tract.
Most infected cows
develop immunity and
eventually become pregnant.
Gerry Oake of the Our House Drug
Recovery Program presents a certificate of
appreciation to Mark Faul of Merit Ford in
recognition of his financial contributions to
the program and the Our House annual rollathon.
R.M. of Grayson No. 184
Municipal Maintenance Works Person
Seasonal Position
The R.M. of Grayson No. 184 is now accepting
applications for a Municipal Maintenance Works Person,
seasonal position, to commence May 1, 2010. Duties to
include, but not limited to:
• Operating Municipal Equipment i.e. Grader/Tractor/
Mower.
• Maintenance and repair of Municipal Equipment.
• Other duties as may be assigned by Council.
This position is for outside work and requires applicant to
be in good physical condition. Applicant must have a valid
Class 5 license. Please submit your application with three
references.
Diagnosis of vibriosis
is difficult. Often the
disease is suspected
around the time of pregnancy checking, several
months after the initial
infection. Therefore, the
diagnosis is most often
made on historical findings. Vibrio can be confirmed by culturing the
sheath of bulls. It can
be diagnosed in the cows
by culturing the cervical
mucous three weeks to
three months post infection.
The best treatment is
eliminating open or
infected cows from your
herd. Any bull confirmed to have been
infected should be culled
from the breeding program.
Vibriosis can be a devastating
disease.
Prevention is key to
ensure a high conception
rate in your cow and
heifer herd. At Twin
Valley
Veterinary
Health Services we recommend that all cows
and bulls are vaccinated
in the spring with a
modified live vaccine
that includes Vibrio.
These vaccines are highly effective if used
tions regarding the
above information or
any questions/concerns
in general, please contact Twin Valley VHS at
745-6642.
