Buffalo milk mozzarella is often adulterated by the addition of cow's milk. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of buffalo milk mozzarella by using electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to detect the addition of cow's milk. Reference cheeses were produced exclusively from combinations of buffalo and cow milk, and labeled reference treatment buffalo or cow (RTB and RTC, respectively). Standardized cheeses were made by combining buffalo milk and 2.5%, 5.0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% or 50% cow's milk. A total of 9 cheese formulations were produced and either frozen immediately (time 0) or after 20 days (time 20). Eighteen commercial samples of buffalo mozzarella were sampled between 0–20 days of production. The chemical composition (moisture, ash, fat in dry matter, protein, total solids and defatted dry extract) and physicochemical characteristics (acidity) of the cheeses were evaluated. Proteins and water-soluble peptides (WSP) extracted from RTB, RTC and from the commercial samples, and were analyzed by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis under denaturing conditions. It was not possible to detect the inclusion of cow's milk by the cheeses' chemical and physicochemical properties. However, the separation and detection of peptide and protein fractions of the cheese was possible by electrophoresis. The results of the electrophoretic analysis suggest that 28% of the commercial samples considered here had evidence of the addition of cow's milk. The methodology described here is important to identify occurrences of fraud in buffalo mozzarella production.

The Edmonton Journal, Wednesday, September 20,1989 A7 Water diversion plan revived Scheme to add water to lake would benefit Getty's riding LYNDA SHORTEN Journal Staff Writer Edmonton The Alberta government resur­rected a $ 15- milIion water diver­sion project to benefit Premier Don Getty's Stettler riding just months after the premier's byelec-tion win. Getty's planned new home over­looks Buffalo Lake, which Alberta Environment said two years ago would be hurt, not helped, by the diversion. Fluctuating water levels in the shallow lake have interfered with boating, fishing and swimming. Owners of the approximately 368 cabins on the lake have com­plained since 1978 that the waters needed topping up. Contradicting earlier studies, an Alberta Environment report re­leased Monday says diverting wa­ter from the Red Deer River into Buffalo Lake will not harm the environment. Government studies in 1982, 1984 and again in 1987 said the di­version would clog the lake with unacceptably high levels of algae. Recreation would be hurt and not helped. The project was moth-balled in 1984. The study released Monday was commissioned in early July, Environment spokesman Diane Dickinson said Tuesday. Liberal environment critic Grant Mitchell, noting that Getty won the byelection in May, questioned the report's timing. " Opening the issue for reconsid­eration, and the conclusions which contradict previous conclusions, raise questions about the objectivi­ty of the study," he said. Mitchell said the proposed $ 15- million expenditure to improve recreation on one Alberta lake is not justified. " Fifteen million dol­lars can be better spent on a vari­ety of iniatives." New Democrat leader Ray Mar­tin said Tuesday the only thing that has changed since the diver­sion was rejected in 1984 is that Stettler has a new MLA. " The timing, at least, is very su-pect because this thing has been going on for at least 10 years," Martin said. " I think the whole thing, frankly, stinks — and I'm not talking about algae." The report says the Red Deer River will not pump as much algae- promoting phosphorous into the lake as predicted. The report is based on examination of water data from 1984 to 1987. Dickinson said the data had not been consid­ered in previous studies. While algae growth will in­crease, " whether this increase impairs the recreational use of Buffalo Lake depends to a large degree on public perception of acceptable ( algae) levels," the re-[ port says. Hugh Dunne, Getty's press sec- j retary, said Monday it is a " coin-| cidence" that the premier's; planned Stettler home overlooks? the lake. " The report is welcome news for residents of the Stettler constitu- i ency," a press release quotes Getty as stating. Environment Minister Ralph' Klein was not available for com-; ment. Spokesman Rod Love said; the province will start a full Envi­ronmental Impact Assessment immediately and it should be com­plete by next spring. The province first started looking at the diversion in 1978. Buffalo Lake is 19 km northwest of Stettler. The $ 15- million estimate of the diversion will be updated with engineering studies scheduled to begin next spring.

Water di$ er& ion subject to long study Your Dec. 17 editorial regarding Buffalo Lake was very misleading, inasmuch as you insinuated that Premier Getty changed all plan­ning, including environmental con­cerns, once he purchased land two miles from its snores. There is considerable back­ground information you are evi­dently not familiar with. Unfortunately, the urgent water and drainage problems of the Parlby Creek basin have been grouped under the name of the Buffalo Lake Stabilization Project. The name is a total misnomer — the stabilization of Buffalo Lake is an end spin- off when addressing the serious water supply situations of Alix and Mirror, plus the long­standing flooding problems of hun­dreds of acres of prime hay land over the entire length of Parlby Creek. The writer, for a number of years, has been working very closely with officials from Alix, Mirror and the County of Lacombe to address these problems. After many in- depth studies ( 29, to be exact) the most practical solu­tion was to channelize Parlby water from the Red Deer River to ensure a consistent quality supply for the two villages. As an end result, the increased and stabilized flow of Parlby Creek would eventually raise and main­tain levels of Buffalo Lake — a very beneficial spinoff for local residents, fishermen and tourism. The studies identified that there would be additional algae growth in the lake at the point of entry of the nutrient- rich river water. How­ever, the studies also pointed out that the lake's overall water qual­ity would be greatly improved with the inflow of the Red Deer River water, as the present salinity levels in the lake are very high. The fish, wildlife, waterfowl, as well as Alberta citizens utilizing the lake, would all benefit from the higher quality water. In other words, the positive benefits out­weigh the negative impact. The channelization part of this project began a few years ago, prior to Mr. Getty becoming pre­mier, with channel correction and control structure including a fish ladder between the lake and high­way No. 50 just west of Mirror. Currently, the next phase is un­derway between Mirror and Alix. The final two phases between Alix and Tees, and Tees to Chain Lakes ( the Creek headwaters) will be un­dertaken in future when funding is available. This addresses one of the origi­nal objectives of the project — the flooding of hay lands. The second objective, the ensuring of a consis­tent quality water supply for Alix and Mirror will be undertaken in due course, with a pumping station on the Red Deer River to provide a long- term solution to Alix and Mir­ror's water supply. From these facts, you will note that the project ( so- called Buffalo Lake Stabilization Project) has been underway for a number of years, long before Mr. Getty was premier. Serious planning began approximately ten years ago, with actual construction some five years ago. In the final analysis, the stabili­zation of Buffalo Lake is an end-side benefit from the government addressing two very serious prob­lems that affected a large area of Central Alberta for a number of years.

During a monsoonal dry season, a free-living population of swamp buffalo inhabiting an ephemeral cyperaceous swamp on the floodplain of the South Alligator River had high rates of water turnover. The daily rate of consumption of Eleocharis sphacelata was c. 5.79 kg DM/animal or 49.2 plus or minus 2.77 g/l total body water-0.82. Annual herbage production in the 13.1 ha swamp was estimated at 80.43 t. Buffalo using the swamp varied from 42 in the mid-wet season and 20 in the late-wet season to c. 200 in the dry season. Herbaceous vegetation was grazed out by the end of the arid phase of the monsoonal cycle. The dependence of buffalo on water which confines them during the arid season and results in intense grazing and changes in floristic composition is discussed.

<p>Two albino water buffalo affected by multiple melanocytic tumors in Southern Brazil are described. Grossly, there were multiple dark tumors within the skin, skeletal muscle, lungs, and lymph nodes. The tumor was also present in the pericardial sac, renal capsule, mediastinum and pleura. Microscopically, the tumors consisted of polyhedral epithelioid cells arranged in solid nests or interwoven fascicles supported by a thin and sparse collagenous stroma. The cytoplasm was eosinophilic and sometimes contained varying amounts of melanin pigment. The mitotic rates were low. Immunohistochemistry staining with Tyrosinase, Melan-A, Vimentin, S-100 protein, and neurofilament were positive. It is possible that the polymorphisms related to pigmentation in albino buffalo contributed with a high risk of developing melanoma as suggested in humans.</p>

CALGARY HERALD Fri" September 22,1989 A7 Getty denies pushing wateFplanT By Sheldon Alberts ( Herald writer) Premier Don Getty has denied influencing a decision to recon­sider stabilizing water levels in Buffalo Lake. " This has been a project that MLAs in central Alberta have been working on for years," Get­ty said Thursday in Calgary. Tin- Knvironment department said this week it will proceed with an environmental impact study of a $ 14- million plan to pump water into the lake, which is in Getty's Stettler riding. " Whether I'm the MLA for Stettler or n o t . . . this area needs as much industrial development, economic development as possi­ble," the premier said. A government report this year concluded that pumping water from the Red Deer River to stabi­lize the lake wouldn't cause an algae problem. Three earlier studies concluded that the river water, which contains phospho­rous, would promote algae growth and destroy recreation, Getty plans to build a home near the lake. " First of all, I don't have a lakefVont ( home). I don't even have the lot yet," Getty said. " Tourism is a major, major feature. This is one of the biggest lakes in Alberta. ( Tourism) can't really have an impact when the water level has dropped so low." Getty said he supports the diversion. " I think people say the MLA better stand up for his con­stituents. They're going to have me fighting for it, that's for sure." In addition to the environmen­tal study, the government will hold public hearings on the plan. Getty denied the government decided this summer to pave cer­tain roads in Stettler because he was planning to buy land near them. " That's nonsense, it hasn't happened."

A committee, with representa­tives from Alberta Agriculture, Alberta Environment and the Alberta Water Resources Com­mission, has completed the first phase of study to move water to the head of the Berry and Sound­ing Creeks just north of Hanna, according to officials. As part of the proposal, the special areas board has applied to the Energy Resources Conser­vation Board for permission to build a hydroelectric generating station at the Dickson Dam. The special areas board admin­isters more than five million acres of dry grassland south of Coronation for Alberta Munici­pal Affairs. Brought under government control in 1938 after 37 munici­palities went bankrupt, Special Areas 2, 3 and 4 rely heavily on agriculture. But a severe drought the past two years depleted already tight water supplies, forcing ranchers to move cattle to other areas of the province for grazing in order to avoid selling their herds. " We have had a constant prob­lem with water in all the towns and villages because of the low level of rainfall and the fact that groundwater levels have dropped to a point where they are no longer able to get good quality water," special areas board chairman Ab Grover said. " We are at the point now where we are no longer able to continue to see the country dry up." The second stage of the three-phase study will examine the en­vironmental impact of the plan, including the ability of the Red Deer River to supply up to 250 cubic feet per second for as many as 150 days days a year, be­tween spring and fall. Enough water is collected be­hind the $ 160- million Dickson Dam, opened in 1984, during peak flow periods to ensure a minimum flow of 560 cubic feet per second. Please see PRELIMINARY, Page 2A
