Hantavirus claims second life in Saskatchewan Provincial health officials confirmed on Aug. 5 that a second person in Saskatchewan has died from hantavirus.

Including the two deaths, there have been a totally of four cases of the illness in the province, the most recent death being an adult in Northern Saskatchewan.

According to the health government of Saskatchewan, typical symptoms of hantavirus include flu-like symptoms that include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, muscle aches, diarrhea, abdominal pain and shortness of breath. These symptoms can occur any time between three days to six weeks after exposure, and infection without symptoms is rare.

Exposure to hantavirus can cause a rare, but often fatal, disease called Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, that can quickly cause serious lung complications and other complications including an abnormal fall in blood

To minimize exposure to hantavirus, provincial health officials encourage people to block openings that might allow rodents, like mice, to enter your home.

pressure, lungs filling with fluid and severe respiratory failure.

Humans are most often exposed to the virus by breathing in air particles contaminated by deer mouse saliva, urine or feces containing infectious hantaviruses.

This can occur, for example, after sweeping or vacuuming infected areas.

The health government of Saskatchewan also said that ongoing studies in the province have detected hantavirus in deer mice throughout a wide area of southern Saskatchewan. Most human cases so far however have occurred in northwest and west central areas.

To minimize exposure, provincial health officials encourage people to block openings that might allow rodents to enter your home and store human and animal food with tightly fitted lids.

They also ask people to be aware of animal droppings and nesting materials when cleaning your home.

Court of Appeal upholds ruling TORONTO - Ontario’s top court has dismissed a constitutional challenge to the oath of citizenship launched by three permanent residents who refuse to swear allegiance to the Queen.

The Citizenship Act requires applicants for citizenship to swear or affirm

they will be “faithful and bear true allegiance to Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, her heirs and successors.”

The three long-time permanent residents had argued before the Ontario Court of Appeal that they oppose the oath on religious

or conscientious grounds, arguing the requirement was discriminatory and unjust.

With its decision issued today, the appeals court upheld a ruling by the Ontario Superior Court, which dismissed the claim, saying the provision is constitutional, even if it does violate free-

speech rights.

Selwyn Pieters, one of the lawyers involved in the case, says the trio will be seeking leave to the Supreme Court of Canada.

He says the case is about upholding constitutional rights and values that are near and dear to Canadians.

Health officials recommend the following suggestions when it comes to keeping rodents out and maintaining a sanitary environment

• Ventilate the building by opening doors and windows for at least 30 minutes before cleaning.

• Use wet mopping methods and wear gloves.

• Wear goggles and a filter mask when

cleaning areas contaminated by drop

pings in a confined space.

• Dampen areas contaminated with

rodent droppings with bleach distant and remove droppings with a damp

mop or cloth.

• Avoid using dry cleaning methods such as dusting, sweeping, vacuuming or air hosing.

• Set traps for rodents at right angles to the walls where rodents are known to travel.

Sask. Soldier makes final journey home EASTEND, Sask. - A Saskatchewan-born soldier was laid to rest Wednesday in his home province, 70 years to the day after he was killed in northern France during the Second World War. Lawrence S. Gordon fought with U.S. forces, but his remains couldn’t be accounted for after his death.

His nephew, Lawrence R. Gordon, discovered in 2000 that the remains

were not interred where they should have been and later learned they had mistakenly been buried with German war dead.

DNA tests conducted earlier this year helped identify the fallen soldier.

They also allowed for repatriation of the remains to Canada and their burial in the community of Eastend, about 390 kilometres southwest of Regina.

to my father that I would visit his (uncle’s) grave sometime that I would have to find him and identify him first, and then bring him home so that he would have a grave that I could visit,” Gordon said.

He added that the experience has been positive for him.

New technologies in cars a distraction

I’m in the midst of purchasing a used car, and considering it’s my first vehicle, I’m quite pleased with what I’ve ultimately chosen, a 2011 Hyundai. Though the days of walking around town are not permanently behind me - when it’s nice out on weekends I’ll certainly be using my legs to get from one spot to another - I’m glad to know that I’ll be able to, well, you know, go further and get around faster.

It may sound strange to some that I’m just now getting my first vehicle, but I’ve never needed one until now. In highschool I occasionally used the car my parent’s owned, and in college I had the Toronto transit system.

Before I made the decision to purchase the aforementioned Hyundai, I walked by the new vehicles across town several times, thinking how much I can’t wait to finally purchase a brand-spanking-new car. I briefly looked online at these options knowing I wasn’t going to land one, but I was curious to see what these new vehicles were made of. Commercials are too distracting, so I never really catch what they’re saying about the car they’re shoving in our faces.

It’s admirable to see car companies make a larger push for fuel efficiency. Better late than never, but okay, okay, like I said, admirable. Excluding the beautifully crafted electric vehicles like the Honda Fit EV or the compact-sized smart cars, there are some cars out there that deliver a serious bang for your buck when it comes to fuel economy.

According to nrcan.gc.ca, (Natural Resources

Alex Coop

Writing Prevents That Sinking Feeling Canada) The Honda CR-Z and its standard 1.5 L, 4-cylinder engine returns approximately 36 miles per gallon in the city (MPG), and 39 MPG on the highway. Even the supposed gas guzzling trucks are now returning with 16 MPG in the city, and 25 on the highway, like the 2014 RAM 1500. Not quite gas guzzling anymore.

While the shift in focus when it comes to better fuel efficiency is appreciated, it’s slightly alarming to see a parallel shift in focus on electrically run gizmos within a lot of these vehicles that presumably increase safety, but to me, cause one heck of a distraction.

For example, the collision detection systems that are found in several new models like the 2014 GMC Terrain Denali. Get too close to a car IN FRONT of you and an irritating red light starts signaling, what else, that you’re too close. Unless you’ve become used to that sound, in which case it also means you love tailgating so shame on you, the sudden blaring red light would be so distracting in my eyes that an accident would surely follow as a result of my complete shift in focus from the road, to trying to locate the source of the alarm. The same goes for the blind spot or

the lane departure detection systems. For me, they seem to be a way for many drivers to minimize the importance of shoulder checks and other regular motions that, when done properly, decrease your chances of getting into an accident by a landslide. Call me, I don’t know, that guy who doesn’t like cool gadgets in cars, (which I do by the way, have you seen James Bond?) but personally I feel if I were surrounded by these so-called safety features, my driving would become as smooth as a river of bricks.

Not to mention, what happens when something short-circuits in these systems?

Your blind spot detection gets fried perhaps.

The ensuing chain reaction would most likely turn the rest of your electrically run systems crispy, leaving you stranded on the highway in the middle of winter. That’s an extreme scenario, but one I could avoid by not investing in a vehicle with such heavy electrical wiring systems, from which a small problem could manifest itself into a very large one. Not that I could invest in a vehicle like that right now anyway, but it’s something to keep in mind.

These features are certainly there to help you, I know, but if you do have them, don’t forget to do what you’ve been taught on a regular basis. Turn your head, look left and right, check your mirrors. Like everything else in our lives involving new technology, when it’s incorporated into our lives with balance and care, can be a marvelous thing. But when you rely on an alarm to stop you from crushing a vehicle in front of you, that’s a problem.

Happenings overseas affecting crop producers here directly The continuing tension between Russia and Ukraine is concerning since it appears a tinderbox needing only a spark to initiate a war that could too easily escalate into a conflict which includes NATO, and potentially a larger battle zone.

The situation is also yet another example of how politics can dramatically influence agriculture markets.

Recently, Moscow banned imports of most food from the West in retaliation against sanctions over Ukraine. The one year ban is on all meat, fish, dairy, fruit and vegetables from the United States, the 28 European Union countries, Canada, Australia and non-EU member Norway.

Russia spent $25.5 billion last year on imports in the affected categories. Over $9 billion of it from the countries have been hit by the ban.

The ban has had an immediate effect according to stories in the press, including in Russia where stock prices took a dip in response to some of the toughest measures since the height of Soviet Russia.

Calvin Daniels Trader Agriculture Columnist Beyond anything else, the decision by the government of Russia is going to hit that country’s people in terms of what food they will have access to.

Inflation is already high in Russia, and the Russian ban on food imports coupled with previous western sanctions on Russia’s defence, oil and financial sectors over its support for rebels waging an insurrection in east Ukraine, will only fuel the increases.

The ruble is also taking a kicking on international money markets in response to the unsettled situation.

In terms of farm commodity prices, the move will have an unsettling effect on markets.

Russia is the biggest consumer of EU fruit and vegetables, the second biggest buyer of

U.S. poultry and a major global consumer of fish, meat and dairy products.

Closer to home, Russia is Canada’s third largest export market for pork, a sector that has went through much turmoil in recent years, and this will only add to hurt remaining producers must endure.

In terms of world agriculture the Ukraine/ Russia tensions will only add to the uncertainty of prices moving forward.

Look to the Middle East situation where Palestinians and Israel are still firing rockets at each other a month into open warfare, and the spectre of larger scale conflict lies heavy over markets.

After a three-day lull in fighting between Israel and Hamas ended rockets again began to blaze. Since July 8, at least 1,898 Palestinians and 67 people on the Israeli side have been killed according to some reports.

It is such situations, which, while seeming so distant to a farmer on the Canadian Prairies, can ultimately impact what their wheat and canola will be worth once harvested this fall.

Children’s Wish Million Dollar Lottery fulfilling dreams Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca

Some of the most outthere dreams can come true sometimes.

T h e Wi s h e s a n d Dreams Tour commenced in Estevan on Aug. 6, spearheaded by the province’s Chapter Director of the Children’s Wish Foundation, Gay Oldhaver.

It’s main goal; to raise awareness for the 25th Children’s Wish Million Dollar Lottery across southern Saskatchewan and talk about the children who have been positively affected by the foundation, and had their wishes come true.

“When we’re looking at our goals for this year, something like the lottery is super important,” said Oldhaver, who is on her third tour. “It allows us that comfort and freedom to not even question the fact that we can provide these wishes.”

The lottery is what fuels the Children’s Wish Foundation’s ability to grant children in Saskatchewan who are suffering life-threatening illnesses, their wishes.

The grand prize is a $1 million in cash, while

other prizes include a vacation for life, or its $75,000 cash equivalent, and more. An Early Bird category includes prizes as well, including a luxury vehicle. Oldhaver said these lotteries help the foundation fulfill its mandate of guaranteeing a child’s wish once its been accepted.

“It’s part of our charitable ethical code, we must make it happen once it goes through, and on the timeline of the child,” she said.

“If they’re just embarking on treatment or if they’re just finishing, it’s going to drive what the timeline is.”

Oldhaver is also really excited for a recent wish made by a young girl, who asked for something that hasn’t been done before by the Children’s Wish Foundation in Sask.

“She wants a dog,” the director said with a smile. “And it’s not just any dog, it’s a West Highland terrier. That’s going to take a little bit of time to put together. We need to research the breeder, we want to make sure we get something of quality, and of course, we have to support the family and provide them with training classes. You got to be ready to do the off the beaten

path wishes.”

Oldhaver added travel-related wishes have become a very smooth process when it comes organizing those plans, and can be arranged for a short time frame, or planned a year out.

Every wish has an average budget of $10,000, but Oldhaver stressed the organization’s “can-do attitude,” allows them to be flexible when faced with variables.

“First we just have to make sure it’s safe and within our guidelines, and then we put on our thinking caps and say ‘okay, how can we make this happen?’”

At times, she collaborates with Wish Foundations from other provinces to see if they’ve granted a similar wish, all in the hopes of achieving the ultimate goal of providing a sick child with their custom-made wish. Some are as creative as a realworld Super Mario game controlled with the use of an oversized Nintendo control, which a young boy from Prince Albert wished for. Due to the urgency to accommodate the condition of the child, six-days later, members

Saskatchewan’s Chapter Director of the Children’s Wish Fondation, Gay Oldhaver of the community had everything constructed and organized.

“We don’t have a catalogue that we show kids, or a list of wishes to choose from,” Oldhaver explained. “We just ask the child, ‘what would be your magical wish?’”

In 2013, 16,000 lottery

tickets were sold, which helped fund 70 wishes in Sask., and the year before that, 55. Over the past several years, more than 20 children from Estevan have been granted wishes.

Oldhaver also praised the Wish Moms in Estevan, who have organized the Wishmaker Walk, another

fundraising campaign for children who are facing life-threatening illnesses.

She also thanked everyone who has supported the foundation over the past 25 years.

The Early Bird deadline is Aug. 21, while the final deadline for the lottery is Aug. 28.

Government supports online learning In an attempt to help teachers and library patrons access more than 18,000 online journals, newspapers, and reference books, the Ministry of Education is providing support on behalf of PreK-12 schools for the Multi-type Database Licensing Program (MDLP).

This program helps libraries across the province to pool funds to jointly purchase licenses to electronic information resources allowing greater access to learning resources.

“Quality online resources are key to a successful

learning experience for students,” Education Minister Don Morgan said. “Through this program, we are ensuring Saskatchewan students, regardless of their location, have access to a large variety of materials that individual organizations may not be able to fund on their own.”

A wide range of provincial partners, including provincial and First Nations school libraries, post-secondary libraries, public libraries, and special libraries, such as the legislative library and libraries in the health regions, have access to research appropriate materials through the MDLP.

Demand for access to digital resources is rising. In 201314, preK-12 schools increased their access to the online resources by more than 40 per cent compared to 2012-13.

The Ministry of Education’s contribution on behalf of preK-12 schools for 2014-15 is $186,132, a three per cent increase from 2013-14. The Ministry of Education has contributed to the program since the 2001-02 fiscal year.

Woodlawn parks ‘rejuvenated’ says Hoffort

By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca

Following the 2011 flood that essentially destroyed the main Woodlawn Regional Park at the Souris River and caused great damage to the Boundary Dam site is now nearly fully recovered. “ We ’ r e e x t r e m e l y pleased with the recovery, the parks have been totally rejuvenated and have been filled right up on weekends,” said Greg Hoffort, board member of Woodlawn Regional Park.

According to Hoffort, the majority of the $2 million in funding provided by the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program (PDAP) has been spent on complete restorations of 90 campsites at the main park, and another 60 restorations surrounding it. The grounds surrounding the campsites have also been repaired, as well as the Doug Third Hall and Rotary Hall, alongside the theatre and sports fields nearby. Work has also been done at the Boundary site.

“To meet the short-term need, we built 30 campsites at the Boundary Dam park,”

said Hoffort, adding this was done because out of the 120 campsites that were entirely wiped out at the main site, 30 of them were permanently destroyed from erosion and had to be relocated.

Fifty additional sites are to be built at the Boundary Dam site, which Hoffort said are not a part of the PDAP recovery efforts.

The roads alongside both parks have also been restored with the help of the RM of Estevan.

“We’re most grateful that they chose to resurface those roads this year,” said Hoffort.

Aside from some sewer sites in the main park which the Woodlawn board is considering to replacing this fall, the two Woodlawn parks are fully functioning.

“It’s wrapping up, and it was a very successful recovery,” said Hoffort.

Aaron-Lee Soparlo, the recently appointed manager of Woodlawn Regional Park, said it’s been great to see both parks back in full operation, and the community support that was behind the recovery efforts.

“I’m an outsider com-

The Woodlawn Regional Parks at the main site and its Boundary Dam counterpart have come a long way since the flood that devastated them. ing in, but the support has been tremendous, and I think there’s a great group of people in this community that really want their parks back. It’s great to see everybody’s efforts pay off and have the park back up and running as quickly as it did.”

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 2014

Canada donating Ebola vaccine TORONTO - Canada is donating several hundred doses of a made-in-Canada experimental Ebola vaccine to help in the West African outbreak response, the federal government revealed Tuesday.

Though precise numbers still need to be worked out, the donation is expected to be in the range of between 800 and 1,000 doses, the government said. As well, Canada is giving the World Health Organization an extra $185,000 — on top of earlier aid totalling $5.2 million — to help with the response to this long and challenging outbreak.

Health Minister Rona Ambrose offered the vaccine to WHO Director General Margaret Chan in a telephone conversation Tuesday, the minister’s office said in a release.

“Our government is committed to doing everything we can to support our international partners, including providing staff to assist with the outbreak response, funding and access to our experimental vaccine,” Ambrose said.

The news came hours after the World Health Organization announced that a panel of experts it convened had decided that it would be ethical to use untested drugs and vaccine in this epidemic, which is several times larger than any previous outbreak and is proving hard to contain.

That meeting followed the recent announcement that two infected American relief workers became the first people to be treated with an experimental therapy called ZMapp, a cocktail of three monoclonal antibodies.

These antibodies — two

of which were designed at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg — target specific sites on the Ebola virus.

That use of a previously untested therapy broke a logjam that has long bedevilled research into Ebola countermeasures. A number have looked good over the years when tested in primates — including the Canadian vaccine and ZMapp. In fact, in primates the Canadian vaccine seems not only to prevent infection, but to stave off severe disease if given shortly after exposure to the virus.

But in order to know if these tools actually work in humans they would need to be given to people infected with Ebola.

The notion of using untested Ebola drugs or vaccines in Africa was previously seen as a nonstarter. So research agencies like the Public Health Agency or the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases have assumed they would need to do initial safety testing of the products in North America before they could be used in Africa.

To that end, the Public Health Agency got a German vaccine production facility to make doses — somewhere around 1,500 — of the experimental vaccine earlier this year.

The vaccine, which is not linked at this point to a major drug company, goes by the name VSV-EBOV. Canada owns the intellectual property.

The cost of producing the vaccine illustrates why supplies of experimental Ebola products are in such limited supply. Taylor said the price for producing this

batch was between $1,000 and $1,400 per dose.

Just how much vaccine Canada has is a bit of a guess at this point. Because the product hasn’t been tested in people, it’s not known how much vaccine an individual would need to be protected. For the time being, the size of a dose is being extrapolated from the research that has been done on primates. The supplies were to be used for clinical trials.

But as this outbreak has raged on, spreading from Guinea to Sierra Leone and Liberia and now — alarmingly — to Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria, the Public Health Agency’s ethics committee concluded that some of the experimental vaccine should be made available to the response effort, said Dr. Gregory Taylor, the agency’s deputy head.

“We see this as a global resource and we need to have some conversations to figure out what the best use of this experimental vaccine is,” Taylor said in an interview.

He acknowledged the number of available doses is small in terms of the overall need.

Taylor said the agency would be discussing options with international partners, the WHO and the affected countries over the coming days to try to come up with a plan for the best use of what is a limited number of vaccine doses.

“It’s tough to be speedy. But we’re trying to make this as speedy and fast as we possibly can, because of what’s going on in Africa.”

The early thinking is that it should be offered to health-care workers caring

for the infected. They have paid a heavy toll in this outbreak, making up close to 10 per cent of all cases.

But even if the supplies are targeted at health-care workers, there won’t be enough vaccine to protect all who are at risk.

Ten doses of the vaccine have already been sent to a Geneva hospital, on the request of the WHO and the relief agency Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders). That vaccine is an emergency supply that could be used if a response worker became infected, Taylor said.

The agency will hold back some doses to do toxicology studies on the vaccine and other small studies, Taylor said. As well, Canada would want to have some doses on hand to offer health-care workers if someone with Ebola travelled to Canada and turned up in a hospital here.

He said the agency hopes that people in the field who get the vaccine can be studied, so something is learned from this unprecedented use of experimental Ebola therapeutics.

The Canadian vaccine is one of two main candidate vaccines for Ebola. The other, designed at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is set to go into initial human safety trials in the U.S. in September.

The institute’s director, Dr. Anthony Fauci, has said he hopes the study could be completed by January. If all works well, supplies of that vaccine could be available in late 2015, Fauci says.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Family matters once again dominate much of the week. But don’t neglect your workplace duties while you deal with them.

An offer to help could come from a surprising source.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A difficult workplace situation begins to ease, but there still are matters that need to be dealt with before it’s fully resolved.

There’s also a more positive turn in domestic relationships.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Don’t let yourself be rushed into making a decision about an intriguing financial arrangement. Asking questions and checking it out now could pay off in a big way later on.

Debate over who should get experimental drugs FREETOWN, Sierra Leone - A leading physician in Sierra Leone’s fight against Ebola has died from the disease, an official said Wednesday, as it emerged that another top doctor last month was considered for an experimental treatment.

Ultimately, doctors decided against using the drug and he died before he could be airlifted out of the country. There was very little of the experimental treatment available, which has stoked debate about ethics on who should get it even though it hasn’t been tested in humans.

There is no way of knowing if the drug, known as

ZMapp, made a difference in the few people who have gotten the nowexhausted supply of the drug.

Only two Americans and a Spaniard have received ZMapp, an unproven and experimental anti-Ebola drug made in the United States. That has stoked an ethical debate about who should receive the limited doses of the drug. The Spaniard died on Tuesday.

Ebola has killed more than 1,000 people in the current West African outbreak that has also hit Guinea, Liberia and Nigeria. Many of the dead are health workers, who

are often working with inadequate supplies and protection.

Doctors considered giving ZMapp to Sheik Humarr Khan, the chief doctor treating Ebola in Sierra Leone who had come down with the deadly disease, but eventually decided against it “after taking (his) clinical and treatment conditions into account,” officials at the World Health Organization said in an email to The Associated Press on Wednesday.

WHO then tried to arrange airlifting Khan out of the country, but “his condition had deteriorated too much to be transported safely.” He died

July 29.

Now doses of ZMapp have been allocated to two Liberian doctors and could arrive as soon as Wednesday in Liberia, according to Liberian Health Minister Walter Gwenigale. They would be the first Africans known to receive the treatment.

The California-based company that makes the drug, Mapp Pharmaceuticals, has said that its supplies are now exhausted, and it will take months to make even a modest amount.

Canada announced Tuesday it would donate 800 to 1,000 doses of its experimental Ebola vaccine developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada to the World Health Organization.

“The trouble is, of course, with this very, very limited number of vaccines, who would you give that to?” said Dr. Gregory Taylor, deputy head of the agency.

He said the agency has been advised that it makes the most sense to give the vaccine to health care workers in Africa who are among the most vulnerable because of their

close contact with Ebola patients.

Guinea is considering asking for access to the vaccine, according to Communications Minister Al Houssein Makanera Kake.

Unlike the use of ZMapp, which is being given to only a handful of people and is unlikely to yield significant information about the drug’s effectiveness, the vaccine could be tested in a small, but more rigorous field trial.

“It gives us an opportunity to test the vaccine in an outbreak situation in populations that are at risk,” said David Heymann, who headed the WHO’s response to SARS and is now professor at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

“However the study design will be very difficult because you have to make sure the health workers don’t lapse in their infection control, and then you can’t ever be sure it was the vaccine that protected them.”

Highlighting how dangerous the response of health workers is, yet another doctor in Sierra Leone, Modupeh Cole, died on Wednesday, ac-

cording to Sidie Yayah Tunis, director of communications for the Ministry of Health and Sanitation.

Cole, trained in the U.S., was one of the top doctors working in the Ebola isolation ward in Connaught Hospital in Freetown, the capital. He tested positive for the disease last week and was transferred to the eastern district of Kailahun, where Doctors Without Borders is running a treatment centre.

Cole’s sickness spread fear throughout the hospital where he worked, and staff there went on strike Friday and Saturday after learning that he had tested positive for the deadly disease. They returned to work on Sunday.

B o t h C o l e ’s a n d Khan’s deaths are a major blow to Sierra Leone’s health system, which is struggling to cope with the deadly outbreak.

The outbreak, which was first identified in March in Guinea, has strained the resources of the poor West African countries it has hit and of the international community, which is struggling to mobilize enough qualified doctors.

Bruins mourn passing of Egan The Estevan hockey community received a devastating blow on Saturday with the passing of Nick Egan.

Egan, a former Estevan Bruins defenceman, died in the early morning hours on Saturday of suspected heart failure.

An autopsy was being performed on Monday to confirm the cause of death.

Bruins head coach Chris Lewgood said he was in denial after getting the word.

“It was literally disbelief. I actually, for quite some time after hearing the news, held out hope that it wasn’t true and we were going to find out some mistake was made.”

Egan, 21, is being mourned in his hometown of Trenton, N.J. and in Estevan, as well as by his old teams in Philadelphia and New Brunswick.

“I think it’s just shock.

He came into my private

summer camp just last Friday,” said James Laux, Egan’s former head coach with the Philadelphia Revolution.

“We were up in my office, a bunch of us, going over the years, and I think everybody’s just shocked because a bunch of us just saw him. He seemed to be in perfect health and looked good on the ice. He was excited to turn pro. He’ll really be missed. He was an all-around great kid.”

Similar words have been flowing in, in tributes to Egan, who was engaged to Bri Hoefle.

“He’s just a compassionate, soft-spoken, kind person,” said Lewgood. “He did a lot of things with the community and the people in it. He was a family man and a good all-around person.

“He was quiet. Nick was a quiet leader. Given the fact of his unique circumstances with his fiancée being here, he was a little bit

of a lone wolf, but nonetheless he was very well liked in the dressing room and very well respected.”

David Robertson, who was often Egan’s defence partner with the Bruins last year, said it was “devastating” to hear the news.

“I’ll definitely always remember him as a guy that loved being at the rink.

He always had a smile on his face. He loved goofing around a little bit when the time was right for that. He was definitely a competitor, and one of, if not the toughest guy I’ve played with. He was a warrior and definitely wasn’t shy about dropping the gloves. He really loved the game of hockey, and he would do anything for any of his teammates,” Robertson said.

Although he was a kind, gentle person off the ice, Egan was not an easy guy to play against on it.

“Fierce. Nick was incredibly fierce. He played

Carlyle, Carnduff win provincials Two teams in the Saskota Baseball League pulled off the feat of hosting and winning provincials on the weekend.

The Carlyle Cardinals won the senior A provincials on home turf, while not far away, the Carnduff Astros captured the senior A2 crown.

Carlyle, fresh off winning the Saskota championship, defeated the Yorkton Yankees in the A final.

They had beaten the Findlater Braves in the semis.

In round-robin play, the Cardinals beat the Bruno Bison 10-0 and the Meadow Lake White Sox 3-0.

Other teams in the tournament were

the Macklin Lakers, Arm River Indians and Watrous Lakers.

The Astros, meanwhile, played a more dramatic final. They edged the Wilkie Brewers 6-5 in the A2 championship game, with Devon Carriere stealing home for the winning run.

The semifinal was a cakewalk for Carnduff, as they beat the Gull Lake Greyhounds 8-1.

Previously, they defeated Wilkie 5-0 and the Porcupine Plan Wheelers 10-3.

Other teams in the tournament were the Saskota league’s Kenosee Cubs and the Rosetown Angels.

We’ll Put Collision Damage in Reverse

the game with a competitive edge that you hope to instill into your players, but it came naturally. He’s very driven.

He pushed himself beyond the expectations of his team, set his goals high and set out to achieve them,” said Lewgood.

Egan first joined the Bruins at the trade deadline in 2013. After a couple of professional tryouts early last season, he returned to the team and played a leadership role.

“He was a tough guy to play against. He definitely changed a lot from the first season I played with him to the second,” said Robertson.

“He was a real hard-working guy. It took him a while to score his first goal in the Saskatchewan league, but once he did he put a few away, so he definitely had an offensive touch. He was always working hard, a real competitor.”

Teammate Austin Daae said it’s hard to fathom Egan’s passing after spending so much time with him.

“It’s tough to be with someone every day for a year and work in the trenches with them every day. It’s tough, especially being with teammates (Saturday) morning, getting the news together.

Even right now, it’s tough to even talk about. I had some extra motivation to get a win today (at Estevan Motor Speedway), that’s for sure.

“He’s a guy you’re willing to battle for every night out on the ice together. That just brings guys together, knowing them for a year and becoming close buddies, it’s tough to see, especially with the future. He was going to keep playing, I’m sure, as long as he could, and you have all that come to a halt.”

According to Lewgood, Egan had recently gotten an offer to play pro hockey.

into the office and we would talk almost peer to peer instead of coach to player.

There’s a reason why we had him as the captain of our team.”

The Bruins will be putting a guestbook outside the team’s office at Affinity Place this week so that people may send well wishes to Egan’s family.

Lewgood said the team plans to honour Egan in some way next season, but has not yet decided on what to do.

Although he was only in Estevan for a short time, he has left a legacy as a role model, both as a person and a player.

“He won’t be forgotten,” Robertson said. “We send out our thoughts and prayers to the family.

“We’ll make sure he’s remembered. Stuff like that isn’t forgotten.”

Laux described Egan as a leader on and off the ice.

“I’d describe him as a fierce player. Very loyal and defensive of his teammates.

I would say he commanded the ice, he was a big presence, a strong presence on the ice. He made relatively simple plays but done effectively. He led by example, and I think that was his mature nature. He was willing to play a mature game.”

Laux coached Egan for several years and saw a definite progression in him, both on the ice and off.

“I started coaching Nick at U16. He was always a highly competitive kid, he was a loyal kid.

Over the years, watching him mature, watching him turn from a young kid, a little overweight, to a really great athlete that he was, he always had an air of maturity about him. He would come

WAITING ON PROGRAM

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 2014

CBC lays off veteran sportscasters TORONTO - Veteran sportscasters Steve Armitage and Mark Lee are the latest high-profile casualties of budget cuts at the CBC. Armitage, 70, lent his booming voice to CBC sports events for some 49 years — handling playby-play on 29 seasons of “Hockey Night in Canada,” 27 Grey Cups and 15 Olympic Games.

“I loved my job,” he said. “I felt like I had been dodging the bullet. I really thought if the sports department was going to take a major hit, I’d be high on their target list because of the years I had worked.

“I was probably due to go. I didn’t want to go because I liked my job, but when you gotta go, you gotta go.”

The majority of CBC sportscasters are hired on contract. Of four prominent sportscasters the network had on staff, Scott Russell is keeping his job. Armitage and Lee were let go, while Brenda Irving is moving to another depart-

ment.

The CBC lost NHL hockey rights last November to Rogers Media in a whopping $5.2-billion deal, leading to a dramatic loss of advertising revenue for a network already struggling with federal budget cuts.

In April, CBC president Hubert Lacroix announced that 657 jobs would be slashed to meet a $130-million budget shortfall. Lacroix said at the time that 42 per cent of the sports department would be laid off, trimming 38 sports jobs from 90 current positions.

He also announced in April that the broadcaster would no longer compete for professional sports rights and would cover fewer sports events, including amateur sports.

Armitage and Lee learned they were being laid off in early May and recently wrapped up their final days at CBC. Both were given the opportunity to bump newer employees out of their positions but chose not to displace

younger workers.

Lee said he’s struggling to adjust to his new life after spending 34 years with the public broadcaster.

At 58, he is not ready to retire and hopes to find work in the industry.

“I’m still feeling a little bit lost. It’s only been about 10 days since my last day there,” he said. “It becomes a real big part of your life. You have a second family at work — people you get to know really well and you travel with and spend large amounts of time on the road with at major events like the Olympics, Hockey Night in Canada, the CFL on CBC.” The Gemini Awardwinning sportscaster fondly recalled some of his proudest moments at CBC, including calling Usain Bolt’s world record-setting Olympic gold medal race at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and producing a documentary on Muhammad Ali. Lee said CBC simply cannot compete at this point with Rogers and Bell

Media for professional sports rights due to federal budget cuts. He said CBC has been doing all it can to keep certain types of programming on the air, but it is becoming impossible.

“I hope that Canadians take notice. I hope that Canadians really cherish their CBC and lobby the government to maybe fund it the way it should be funded. It’s one of the poorest funded public broadcasters in the western world,” he said.

Jeffrey Orridge, executive director of sports properties and general manager of the Olympics at CBC, said it was “extraordinarily sad” to see Armitage and Lee go.

“They are consummate professionals, veterans in the industry and they’re both iconic. Frankly, their talent and their personalities are irreplaceable,” he said.

However, he said that CBC was in “very challenging times” and significant cuts had to be made to the sports department.

“I think this is part

of an overall strategic decision to respond to the changing landscape in sports at CBC and really, in response to the overall picture at CBC/Radio-Canada. Resources have been significantly diminished and decisions have to be made,” he said.

Carmel Smyth, national president of the Canadian Media Guild, which represents most CBC workers, called it “appalling” the Conservative government has cut CBC so deeply.

“Who will cover amateur sports and give our athletes the exposure they need?” she asked. “We are losing exceptional talent that takes decades to develop. Will kids today ever have a chance to become the next Steve Armitage or Mark Lee?” Armitage joined CBC in 1965 as a late-night sports reporter in Halifax — “There was one criteria: you needed to know how to type,” he said with a laugh — and went on to win three Gemini Awards, the Foster Hewitt Award

and was inducted into the B.C. Hall of Fame during his nearly 50-year career.

In the past two weeks, he’s been enjoying his countryside home near Halifax but misses sportscasting.

He said he doesn’t have “sour grapes” about being forced into retirement but made clear he disagrees with the direction CBC is taking on sports.

“The CBC has decided to put its priorities and what little money it has left into other areas,” he said, adding that remaining sports staff are “dedicated, hard-working and will do their level best to preserve what’s left.”

“But what worries me is if you keep taking people away, you take away the experience and the depth that CBC Sports had, and the ability to mount major projects and continue to do the high level of work and keep up the standards that the CBC had for many years. That becomes more and more difficult because the people just aren’t there.”

Doug Ford apologizes to Toronto police chief TORONTO - Mayor Rob Ford’s brother has publicly apologized to Toronto’s police chief for comments made earlier this month.

Coun. Doug Ford’s retraction of his comments comes two days after Chief Bill Blair filed a defamation notice against him.

The councillor suggested two weeks ago that Blair helped leak information that police were preparing to subpoena the mayor in an ongoing investigation as “payback,” although he declined to elaborate on what he meant.

At the time, Blair said the councillor was lying and warned he was prepared to take legal action.

Doug Ford says he “personally called” Blair this morning to offer his apology and to take back what he said.

Blair’s legal action against Ford was a personal pursuit and did not involve taxpayer money.

NBA player Greg Oden faces battery charges International INDIANAPOLIS Former NBA No. 1 draft pick Greg Oden is free to leave Indiana while he awaits trial on charges he punched his ex-girlfriend in the face as long as he remains on GPS monitoring, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Marion County Superior Court Judge Steven Rubick entered a routine not guilty plea on behalf of Oden and scheduled the

free agent centre’s trial for Oct. 22. Oden is charged with battery resulting in serious bodily injury and two misdemeanour battery counts.

The 7-foot-tall Oden, wearing a silvery sport coat, dark slacks and a white shirt with no tie, sat grimly at the defence table and answered the judge’s questions with a soft “Yes, Your Honor.”

Oden’s attorney, James

Bell, said in a statement after the brief hearing that the defence team would have no comment until the conclusion of the case.

The 26-year-old was arrested at his mother’s Indianapolis home last Thursday and released from jail later that day.

According to a probable cause affidavit filed, police officers were called to the home at around 3:30 a.m. last Thursday and found a 24-year-old woman on a blood-spattered sofa with a swollen, bloody face. A friend of the woman told officers that Oden had “punched her in the face.”

The report says the injured woman was uncooperative and told officers she had fallen, but was unable to say when and where that occurred.

Oden told officers he and the woman had dated for about two years but split up two months ago.

According to the report, he said he was arguing with his ex-girlfriend when “things got out of control” and he struck her as he swung his arms to try to break free of two people who were trying to hold him back.

One of Oden’s relatives, who said she was awoken by the argument, told police that “every time the two visit and go

out, there is an argument to follow.”

The Portland Trail Blazers made Oden the top pick in the 2007 draft.

Knee injuries have derailed Oden’s professional career, and he didn’t play from December 2009 until last season, when he averaged 2.9 points in 23 games for the Miami Heat. He is currently without a team. *** MARCOUSSIS, France - The Canadian team has to go through host France in order to reach the final of the IRB Women’s Rugby World Cup. It won’t be easy with a sellout crowd of vocal supporters expected to cheer the French side’s every move on Wednesday at Stade Jean Bouin in Paris.

Canadian head coach Francois Ratier doesn’t expect his players to be intimidated by the surroundings in the semifinal matchup. In fact, he feels it will actually give his squad an advantage.

“For me, it’s a challenge for the French, not for us,” he said Tuesday from the Paris suburb of Marcoussis. “Because they play in front of their crowd, in front of 20,000 people, and the pressure is on them, not on us. So for

division player, who took over the Canadian program in March 2013. He has his side playing disciplined rugby with a team-first mentality.

There will be a new champion at this year’s tournament.

The England-Canada draw left four-time defending champions New Zealand out of the semifinal picture. It was the first time the Black Ferns have failed to reach the final four in tournament history.

Canada’s best result at this event is a fourth-place finish, achieved in 1998, 2002 and 2006. The team was a disappointing sixth in 2010.

Magali Harvey of Quebec City has three tries in the tournament and leads the Canadian team with 39 points, behind only England’s Emily Scarratt’s 43.

There will be one change to the Canadian lineup as Brittany Waters of Vancouver will replace Jessica Dovanne of Victoria on the wing.

Canadian captain Kelly Russell said her teammates are “gritty, fierce and ready to go.”

“We believe in what we’re doing and how we’re playing,” she said. “We want it.”

us it’s clear. We know that we’re going to play against an entire country but it’s a source of motivation.

“We are not afraid at all.”

Canada (2-0-1) has looked strong at the 12team tournament with a 31-5 victory over Spain on Aug. 1 and a 42-7 rout of Samoa on Aug. 5. Canada secured a semifinal berth with a 13-13 tie against England — the 2010 finalist and a three-time runnerup — last Saturday.

France (3-0), meanwhile, has not conceded a single try so far, outscoring Wales, South Africa and Australia by a combined score of 98-6.

Canada and France split a two-game series last fall. France took the opener 27-19 on Nov. 2 while Canada beat the host side 11-6 four days later.

The winner of Wednesday’s game will face either Ireland or England in Sunday’s final.

“This game is a fantastic opportunity for us to show the world that we belong here in the semifinals of the World Cup and in the finals, and our goal is the play our game and enjoy the experience,” Ratier said.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 2014

Ray leads Argos over Blue Bombers TORONTO - Ricky Ray threw four touchdown passes to lead the Toronto Argonauts past the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 38-21 on Tuesday night.

Ray finished 26-of33 passing for 297 yards to earn Toronto (3-4) its second straight win for a four-point lead atop the East Division standings.

But the Argos don’t have much time to relish the victory, before an announced season-high Rogers Centre gathering of 18,106, as they’re back in action Sunday night hosting the B.C. Lions (4-3).

However it was sweet redemption for Toronto, which dropped a seasonopening 45-21 loss in Winnipeg. And Ray engineered the impressive victory without regular receivers Andre Durie (clavicle), Chad Owens (foot), Jason Barnes (knee), John Chiles (hamstring) and heralded rookie Anthony Coombs (shoulder).

Winnipeg (5-3) suffered its second straight loss following a 23-17 home defeat to Saskatchewan on Thursday. It also spoiled Bombers coach Mike O’Shea’s return to Rogers Centre.

O’Shea spent 16 seasons as a player and coach with Toronto — winning four Grey Cups — before being hired by Winnipeg in the off-season.

Ray cemented the victory with a 32-yard touchdown pass to Spencer Watt that rounded out the scoring at 11:35 of the fourth.

Ray put Toronto ahead 28-21 just 58 seconds into the quarter with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Curtis Steele after Cleyon Laing recovered former Argo Romby Bryant’s fumble at the Winnipeg 49-yard line.

Bryant had a 76-yard touchdown grab on the next series but it was negated by a hands-to-the-face penalty on Winnipeg. Swayze Waters’ 18-yard field goal at 6:51 boosted Toronto’s head to 31-21.

Nic Grigbsy’s eightyard TD run at 6:32 of the third pulled Winnipeg into a 21-21 tie, set up by the Bombers recovering the first of two Steve Slaton fumbles at the Toronto 20-yard line.

Steele finished with two TDs, with Maurice Mann and Zander Robinson also scoring for Toronto. Waters kicked four converts and a field goal.

Cory Watson and Rory Kohlert had other Winnipeg’s touchdowns. Lirim Hajrullahu added three converts.

Two late Ray TD strikes 1:18 apart an-

chored a 21-point secondquarter outburst that earned Toronto a 21-14 halftime advantage. Ray hit Robinson with a six-yard touchdown pass at 14:57, set up by a 26-yard Hajrullahu punt that put Toronto at the Winnipeg 43-yard line.

Ray’s 15-yard TD pass to Mann at 13:39 made it 14-14, capping a six-play, 62-yard march. It was a solid answer to Kohlert’s sensational 21-yard touchdown grab at 10:45, set up by Troy Stoudemire’s 61-yard punt return.

Steele made it 7-7

at 3:06, his 19-yard TD run ending a smart 97-yard, eight-play march.

Winnipeg took its opening possession 63 yards on six plays, with Drew Willy hitting Watson with an eight--yard scoring strike at 6:06 of the first.

Ray finished the half 17-of-19 passing for 177 yards and the two TDs as Toronto rolled up 258 net yards. Willy completed 10-of-11 attempts for 71 yards and two touchdowns but Winnipeg had just 125 net offensive yards, or 62 after their opening drive.

Of the 33 challenges, 14 have involved pass interference calls, with just two changes being made . . . B.C. Lions defensive back Ryan Phillips has played in all seven games this season, boosting his streak to 169 straight games. The 10year veteran hasn’t missed a game in his CFL career.
