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.

Canada officials say no
salmon virus found in BC
(AP) _ Canadian govern
ment officials said Tuesday
they have found no signs of
a potentially deadly, infectious
salmon virus in British Co
lumbia.
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.
Rick Routledge, a re
searcher with Simon Fraser
University who announced
the detection of the salmon
virus in October, said Tues
