Spily^y P^ge 6 Tymoo, November 16, 2011 Wgrm Springs, Oregon Scott signs basketball scholarship letter Abby Scott last week signed her letter of intent to attend New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. Scott, a senior at Madras High School, will attend the uni versity on a full basketball schol arship. Scott is the daughter of James and Amy Scott. Abby, who is 6-foot-l, was recruited by several colleges in the country. She chose New Mexico State for a number of reasons. “I know the assistant coach very well,” Abby said. “It’s a great school, and one where I could play right away.” She visited the school earlier this year. “Their sports facilities are nice,” she said. “It’s a small community, and the people there are very nice.” Abby may be the first female athlete from Madras High School to receive a full-ride sports scholarship. Her feeling last week while signing the let ter of intent, she said, was one of gratitude. “This is something I’ve been doing all my life, and it’s finally paid off,” she said. If you want something enough, and you work hard enough, you can achieve your goals, she said. Abby signed her letter of intent to play for the New Mexico State Aggies in the high school gym on Wednes day, Nov. 9. Her coach Rory Oster, her parents, grandpar ents and friends were on hand for the signing. Last basketball season, as a junior, Abby averaged 12.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.6 steals per game. She helped lead the White Buffalos to the class 4A state semifinal round.

Researchers with Simon Fraser University in British Columbia announced last month they had detected in fectious salmon anemia, or ISA, in two wild juvenile Pa cific salmon collected from the province's central coast, prompting fears the influ enza-like virus could wreck the salmon fishing industry in the Pacific Northwest. ' 'There's no evidence that (the virus) occurs in fish off the waters of British Colum bia," Dr. Cornelius Kiley, a veterinarian with the Cana dian Food Inspection Agency said during a news conference Tuesday. He added: "It is not known to occur at this mo ment of time in the North Pacific." Government tests of the original 48 samples collected from B.C. researchers at a national laboratory have turned up negative for the virus, Canadian officials said. Additional tests performed on other samples have also turned up negative, because the quality of some of those samples was too degraded to be conclusive. Their results are consis tent with independent testing conducted by a lab in Nor way, officials said. While that lab found one positive read ing among multiple tests, it also noted the sample was poor and the results could not be reproduced, said Pe ter Wright, national manager for the Research and Diag nostic Laboratory System with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Officials are continuing to test samples for the salmon virus, which has affected At lantic salmon fish farms in Chile, Maine, New Brunswick and other areas. It does not affect humans.
