ProvincialREGINA - Health of-

fi cials say the fi rst human case this season of West Nile virus has been reported in Saskatchewan.

The infection occurred in a man from the Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region who experienced no symp-toms.

It was detected by Ca-nadian Blood Services in screening before the person was to donate blood.

Officials are urging

people to take precautions against mosquitoes in light of the recent hot, humid weather which has created ideal conditions for their development.

Dr. Saqib Shahab (shah-KEEB’ shah-HAB’), the province’s chief medical health offi cer, says it’s part of a trend throughout the continent.

“This year we are seeing a pattern throughout Canada and North America, where there is an increase of posi-

tive mosquito pools as well as cases,” he said Friday.

“What’s happened this year is a bit different from what happened the last two years,” he said. “The last two years we had no cases and we had no positive mosquito pools as well. And that was for a variety of ecological and climatic reasons. Cold winters, cool springs and cool summers.”

Most people infected with West Nile will experi-ence no symptoms or only

mild illness such as fever, headaches and body aches.

Shahab explained that the Culix tarsalis mosquito that carries the virus pri-marily comes out at dusk and dawn, although may be about during the day when it’s cloudy and cooler.

“It’s called an ankle biter, because it will bite you around the ankles,” he said. “You may not even hear it buzzing around your head.”

The worst year for West Nile in Saskatchewan was 2007 when more than 1,400 human cases were reported and the virus contributed to six deaths.

Two people in Winni-peg were also confi rmed to

be carrying the virus earlier this week. It so detected in routine screenings by Cana-dian Blood Services.

NationalHALIFAX - A sentenc-

ing hearing will be held today in Nova Scotia Su-preme Court for a Halifax man convicted in the death of his baby daughter.

Judge Felix Cacchione found Ashiqur Rahman guilty of manslaughter and aggravated assault in June.

Cacchione found that the new father slapped, shook and tossed the infant after becoming frustrated by a series of business failures and the cries of his child.

Cacchione had said that Rahman, who’s in his late 20s, had little interest in his new baby and was solely focused on starting an online business in Canada after moving here from Ban-gladesh.

Rahman had pleaded not guilty to both charges in the death of seven-week-old Aurora Breakthrough in July 2009.

InternationalKABUL - Two gunmen

wearing Afghan National Army uniforms turned their weapons on NATO troops Tuesday, killing an Ameri-can service member and wounding two others, U.S. and coalition offi cials said.

The Taliban claimed re-sponsibility for the shooting in eastern Afghanistan — the latest in a rising number of so-called “green-on-blue” attacks in which Afghan security forces, or insurgents disguised in their uniforms, kill their U.S. or NATO partners.

So far this year, 27 coalition troops have been killed in 20 such attacks, according to an Associated Press tally. That compares with 11 fatal attacks and 20 deaths the previous year. In 2007 and 2008 there were a combined total of four at-tacks and four deaths.

Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in a statement to the media that one Afghan soldier killed nine U.S. troops, but the Taliban often exaggerate the death toll of their attacks. He said many other coalition troops were injured in the shooting, which occurred at 5 p.m. at a military base in Gerdiserai area of Paktia province. Afghan offi cials confi rmed that the attack occurred in Paktia.

For some, getting a car on your 16th birthday is the dream, but for Riley Raynard, that was too long a wait. At 14, he was given a race car, and he’s been circling the Estevan Motor Speedway ever since.

Riley, the son of modi-fi ed driver and 2011 points champion Devin Raynard, has muscular dystrophy, but he isn’t letting it slow him down at all.

He gets some help climbing in and out of his hobby stock car, but once inside, the driving is all him.

At the start of the year, Riley completed a few runs at another track before fi rst heading to the speedway. His fi rst race was in Estevan, and he said it was an adjust-ment to get used to the track.

“I didn’t really know what to do,” said Riley. “I just tried to get the feel for the track and that kind of helped a little bit.”

“He’s actually doing really good out there now,” said Devin. “We tested him out there at Derrick Big Eagle’s race track in Manor at the beginning of the year, before the races even started (in Estevan). Derrick was able to let us run a bunch of laps out there and let him get the hang of it. His car’s still in one, piece so he’s doing good.”

Riley has raced all year, mostly at the local oval but has also competed in Minot.

“I’ve kind of gotten better,” he said. “I can keep up to the (other racers), so it’s way easier.”

The 14-year-old is a Grade 10 student in Lamp-man and sits in 16th in the points standings. Part of the fun at the races is that he gets to challenge a few of his friends who started racing this year as well.

“I get to race against my friends too, so that’s fun. Two of my friends, who are in my class are actually rac-ing too,” said Riley.

“We had to move the pedals back so I could reach it and control the car. We had to push my seat forward and the pedals go up and back because I was a little bit too small for it.”

He said he fi ts well in-side their driver’s seat now.

“We thought we were going to have to put hand controls in this year, but he’s able, and he still has enough strength to run the pedals,” added Devin. “We had to do some power brake assist stuff just for the brakes, he was having trouble with the brakes, but we’ve got that fi gured out now.”

He said next year they may have to install hand controls, so Riley would

control the throttle and brakes in his car from the steering wheel, similar to a motorbike.

“They say there are guys that have done it out there, so it will be done like the Formula One cars,” said Devin.

He said he’s happy to see his son not be discour-aged because of his condi-tion. Riley doesn’t really let anything get in his way.

“He broke his thumb there at the last race, got in a little tangle and hit the steering wheel,” said Devin. “That just gave it a little jar on the steering wheel. They were gonna cast it for him, but he said if they put the cast on he was gonna cut it off like Ricky Bobby. He was racing no matter what, he said.

“I’m proud of him get-ting out there and letting him try it. We didn’t really know if he could run or not, seeing as he’s slowly getting worse, but he’s been good.”

Devin said he was a little nervous at fi rst to see Riley get behind the wheel during his practice runs and then again during his fi rst race when he got out in the middle of a bunch of other cars.

Riley has been going to his dad’s races since Devin first started about eight

years ago.“He raced when I was

a little kid, so that made me fantasize about being a race-car driver,” said Riley. “I liked (the races) a lot, so that’s what I decided to do.”

His dad was prepared the moment Riley turned 14 and was eligible to race at the speedway.

“They already knew I wanted to,” said Riley, add-ing that it’s something he’s wanted to do for a long time.

“He’s been wanting to do it since, well, that’s what he’s always (wanted),” said Devin. “That’s why his car is 97. I was 98, and actually my youngest boy, he’s nine years old, he wants to be 96. It’ll be nice to get all three of us out there and be like the Turnbulls and the Harrises.”

Nothing will stop Riley from racingRiley Raynard is one of the newest racers to the Estevan Motor Speedway. The 14-year-old who has muscular dystrophy is racing in his fi rst year at the local track.

I don’t consider myself to be a negative man, but if you have read my previous columns you most likely get the feeling that I am, and by no means will this piece convince you otherwise.

As I’m sure most of you are aware NASA landed their most recent robot, Curiosity, on the planet Mars. Now I’m not totally against space exploration, but it is a struggle for me to see why govern-ments around the world have spent so much money on space programs.

If one day NASA sends Bruce Willis into space to save the world, then the yolk will be on my face. But until that day comes, I have problems with how much money has and continues to be spent on space.

The robot Curiosity is just the latest example of money that could have been used lots of other places. $2.5 billion was spent to get this robot to Mars. To make matters worse, the mission was delayed two years and was over budget by more than $1 billion.

I would have liked to hear that conversation when the people at NASA were asking for double the money and

two extra years to complete the project.Can you imagine any other job in the

world where that conversation would be acceptable? If I went to my boss and told him he needed to hold off printing the paper, so I could fi nish my work, he would laugh in my face. If I then told him I needed double the money to complete my work, he might throw me out the window. Good thing the offi ce is only one storey.

The part of this NASA project that really grinds my gears is that the people working on the robot couldn’t even guarantee a safe landing on Mars. There was a chance that all the time and money spent on Curiosity could have been all for not if it crashed on Mars.

How do you explain that to the people? President Obama: I realize our

economy is struggling and millions of Americans are looking for jobs, but at least we had a chance at landing a ro-bot on Mars. That should solve all our problems.

Its not like this trip to Mars is the fi rst time for NASA either. According to an article from the Ottawa Citizen, the reason scientists want to go to Mars is to discover if life existed there. Here’s another kicker: Curiosity won’t even be able to answer that question. The robot will try to answer the question whether the right conditions existed to sustain life.

The fact is once this Mars mission is over, there will still be lots of questions about the planet, and there will still be lots of problems on the planet Earth. Imagine if the money spent in space was spent to try and solve problems on the planet Earth. We could help those who are less fortunate, all the brilliant people who work at NASA could work on solving problems that exist here. We don’t have to beat Russia to Mars.

But what do I know? Hey, we landed on the moon. That was cool, right?

Writing this column over the years, I have been a supporter of the idea of genetically modifi ed agriculture.

When I look to the future, I see two trends that suggest to me there is a need for genetically modifi ed crops and livestock.

On the one hand, world populations are trending ever higher, with little ef-fort being made to even discuss how to control that side of things. At the same time, agricultural land is very much a fi nite resource.

Those two trends run counter to each other, and in the future could well spell far more hungry mouths to feed with not enough food to do it.

Genetic modifi cation of plants that could increase food production levels is, to me, a logical road for science to head down.

That said, when one starts down a road, it is likely you will hit a few bumps, and come to some curves that may war-rant slowing down a bit as the impact of taking that corner is fully understood.

Most in the agricultural community are now aware of the so-called “termi-nator” gene. The idea of the gene has met with some strong opposition, and perhaps with good reason.

The idea of the gene has little to do with increasing production, but has a lot to do with increasing profi ts.

The gene is designed to make a crop so that the seed produced will not pro-duce a subsequent crop.

That runs counter to the long held tradition of farmers being able to retain seed for subsequent crops.

The inability to grow a crop year-to-year is particularly disturbing in terms of farmers in Third World countries where farmers have limited resources to seed.

Terminator genes are a good way to help ensure seed companies sell product, and protect proprietary varieties, but they may not be the best things in terms of feeding a growing population.

And then in the August 2012 edition of The Ag Advance, there is a story on controlling diamondback moths.

“New on the scene, Oxitec Ltd. from Oxford, UK, has developed a new alter-

native strategy that holds great prom-ise. The British biotech company uses advanced genetic techniques to insert a female-specifi c ‘lethality gene’ into the moth genome. This allows for large-scale production of Oxitec males to be released into a specifi c target area. They mate with wild females and the resulting female offspring will not reach adulthood. As the females in the population decline, the local target insect population will follow,” details the story.

The idea of a “lethality” gene is one that even has me, as a supporter of GM technology, doing a double take.

While the application of the technol-ogy to control insect pests is something that could greatly improve crop produc-tion, it is also something that has the potential to be a disaster in the making, whether by a transfer to wild populations or by the technology being ill used.

In a time of terrorism, when nerve gases and the potential for viral attacks is already all too real, the mere thought of “lethality” genes has to be worrisome.

The use of GM technology may be the best hope to feed the world of tomorrow, but the technology must also be used with caution to avert the stuff of science fi ction gone bad.

I wish I could say that I have too many morals to throw a match. I wish I could say that I wasn’t so competitive that I’d purpose-fully lose an event because winning meant so much to me.

But that would be lying and I try really, really hard not to lie. So ya, I’d probably throw a match if I thought it would benefi t me in the long run. This would probably backfi re on me, since I’d somehow end up losing the matches

I fi gured I would so easily win.If I did throw a match, though, I’d try to be a little bit more discreet than the women’s

badminton teams that purposefully smoked the birdie into the net in an attempt to throw their match. I would look like I was playing hard. Take golf, which someone told me is going to be in the 2016 Olympics. I can really convincingly lose at golf. I have a lot of experience losing at golf, actually. Though I can’t imagine how purposefully scoring high would help with golf...

So yes, I am one of those evil, unfortunate people who are competitive and ambi-tious enough to throw a professional sporting match in order for a better chance at the title. Sport takes a lot of strategy and sometimes you have to lose to win. I don’t really see anything wrong with that. — Tonaya Marr

Never will I be even close to competing at an Olympic level in any sport, but I do enjoy playing all sports and I do enjoy winning.

However I can honestly say I would never throw a match for a better chance at winning gold. Now maybe I’m not the best person to be talking about this considering my low level of talent, but if I were an elite athlete, I think I would want to win every match possible.

If you enter the Olympics looking for the easiest way possible to win gold, you’re already cheating yourself and the fans. To me the easiest way to win gold is to win every match, race or game you play in.

Some people are blaming the round robin tournament style of badminton for the reason that people were throwing matches. In fact before the Olympic Games started, people were predicating this would happen.

If people were looking for this, then I would think they would try to cover it up a little more, especially in badminton where the teams seem to be able to put the shuttlecock into play so easily. How hard would it have been for the teams just to hit it long or wide?

I’m glad these teams got caught for throwing games, and I’m hoping no one lost tons of money in Las Vegas betting on them. — Rhys Kelso

Would you lose a match on purpose for a better chance at winning gold?

Like many of you, one of my favorite ways to cool off is with a bowl of ice cream -- except I prefer to make mine dairy-free. My recipes for Dairy-Free Frozen Vanilla Custard and Dairy-Free Banana Walnut Frozen Custard are delicious and healthy ways to enjoy two of America’s favorite ice-cream fl avors.

If you don’t have an ice-cream maker, follow the directions below for creating these frozen treats using your blender and freezer, and beat the heat with a frozen treat!

DAIRY-FREE FRO-ZEN VANILLA CUS-TARD

1 1/2 cup soymilk powder

3 1/2 cups soymilk 2/3 cup water 1 1/2 cups agave or

maple syrup 1 tablespoon pure

vanilla1 teaspoon apple cider

vinegar

1. In a blender, com-bine soymilk powder, water and soymilk until well-blended.

2. Combine the soy-milk mixture with the syrup, vanilla and vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stirring constantly, cook until the mixture is thick and syrupy in consistency.

3. Pour mixture into an ice-cream maker and follow manufacturer’s di-rections. If you don’t have an ice-cream maker, use

a 9- by 5-inch metal loaf pan or other medium-sized metal or aluminum pan. Place the pan in the freezer uncovered for 1 hour.

4. Stir mixture well every 30 minutes with wire whisk for the fi rst two hours (this will prevent ice crystals from forming). Af-ter the fi nal stirring, allow frozen custard to chill in the freezer, covered with plastic wrap, for 1 hour after the last blend before serving. Serve cold imme-diately, adding your choice of toppings, as desired.

DAIRY-FREE BA-NANA WALNUT ICE CREAM

2 medium-sized ba-nanas

1/2 cup dairy-free plain or sweetened almond milk or coconut milk or a combination of both

2 (12.3-ounce) boxes extra-firm silken tofu, drained

1/2 cup agave nectar or maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure va-nilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt1 cup raw walnuts

1. In a blender, process the bananas and almond or coconut milk until creamy. Add tofu, agave nectar or maple syrup, vanilla and salt, and blend until smooth.

2. Pour mixture into an ice-cream maker and add walnuts as directed.

Alternately, fold walnuts into the mixture and place it in a shallow metal dish, such as a cake pan or 9- by 13-inch pan.

3. Place pan into the freezer, stirring well every 30 minutes with a wire whisk for the first two hours (this will prevent ice crystals from forming). Af-ter the fi nal stirring, allow the frozen custard to rest, covered with plastic wrap, in freezer for 30 minutes to

1 hour. Serve immediately. Serves 4.

If you haven’t read Harry Potter and the Pris-oner of Azkaban, then you will have no idea what I’m talking about in this column. I’ll try to explain it the best I can, but really, it’ll spoil a small portion of the best series you’ve never read. So instead of reading my column, go out and read the Harry Potter books. Then you can come back and read this. It will wait for you.

To summarize though, in Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry and his classmates are introduced to a creature known as a boggart, which reproduces the greatest fear of the person who confronts

it. For many, that fear is a spider, a snake, a clown. For Harry, it’s a dementor, a monster which makes a person’s most horrible memories and feelings come to the surface.

Since reading the book, I’ve often pondered what shape the boggart would take if I were the person to face it (also, assuming that boggarts were real). I once fi gured I’d have a similar boggart to Hermione, who fears failure. I’m also weird-ly afraid of semi-trucks and the dark; both very irrational fears.

But I’ve since deter-mined what I’m most afraid

of in this world: that some-day, my boyfriend will dis-cover a fondness for fedoras and insist on wearing them.

I can’t handle fedoras. I’m sure they have some merit, some strange fash-ionable appeal that I can’t understand. I don’t know why anyone would want to

wear them, especially adult men with full heads of hair. Unless you’re 25 and dating Jennifer Lopez, I’m pretty sure you can’t pull off a fedora.

So yes, my greatest fear is someone I’m in a relation-ship with announcing com-pletely unexpectedly, “Hey,

look at me in this terrifi c fi nd! Don’t I look dashing? Doesn’t the beige-greyness look awesome? I’m going to wear this fedora all the time – no, I’m going to buy endless amounts of fedoras and you must love me de-spite them or else you are terribly shallow!”

How dreadful. Be-cause after a certain amount of time in a relationship, ditching out because of a hat is extremely shallow. How could I become such a person who walked away from someone because of an accessory?

I fear fedoras, and the person they could make me

become.Or, the greatest of my

hybrid fears: a semi-truck wearing a giant fedora speeding at me in the night, while I am handed back failed assignments and tests. Ugh. Maybe it’s a good thing that magic and boggarts aren’t real.

• “Plant banana skins in your garden, just be-low the surface. They rot quickly and provide nutri-ents for growing plants.” -- A.R. in Ohio

• “Always keep two needles threaded, one with black and one with white. When you have a rip, a button comes off or a hem comes out of your clothes,

and you are in a hurry, you can use one of these for a quick repair.” -- J.R. in Virginia

• “This is a great tip for the upcoming school year. It’s hard to keep track of names of classmates anyway, but trying to re-member who’s who from last year or the year before can be impossible. When

class pictures come out, I make a photocopy and write the names of the chil-dren on the copy, right next to the child in the photo. I keep the photocopy handy throughout the school year and then fi le it away later with the actual photo. Our family has been doing this for almost 10 years, and it makes for great recall when

What are the odds of not one, but two Olympi-ans coming from the same grad class of a small town Saskatchewan school? One was a medalist in the winter Olympics, another com-peted in London.

It turns out pretty good if you’re talking about the Yorkton Regional High School class of 1993. That was my grad class.

Indeed, I knew both of them. One was my best friend in junior high. The other I didn’t know as well, but we defi nitely knew each other.

Jason Parker was an Olympic silver medalist in team pursuit speed skating at the 2006 Winter Games in Turino. He would have been around 30 at the time, maybe 31.

Jason’s website says he put on his fi rst skates at the age of one. I didn’t know

they made skates that small, but that’s what he says, and he has the silver medal to back it up.

Cory Niefer, on the other hand, didn’t get so early of a start. Cory was the aforementioned friend from younger days. In Grades 8-9, we were best of friends, but we grew apart in high school.

He fi rst picked up a rifl e when he joined army cadets at the age of 12. I joined air cadets at the same time. He preferred the army cadets because they had range practice twice a week, whereas the air cadets only shot once a week. Soon he was going to summer camps focused on marksmanship.

Those camps, and countless hours of train-ing since then, have paid off. He narrowly missed qualifying for the Canadian shooting team at the Beijing

Olympics, so he went as a coach instead.

This time, however, Cory made the team in two events - 10-metre air rifl e and 50-metre prone rifl e. He actually was the fi rst person to qualify for Team Canada, not just for shooting but for all sports. He was one of only two shooters Canada sent.

At 36, Cory’s likely one of the oldest athletes on Team Canada. The wonder-ful thing about shooting is that literally, you can do it for decades and still be competitive.

In London, he had a tough go. Apparently he had equipment problems during the air rifl e event on July 30, leading to a 46th place fi nish out of 47. In prone rifl e on Aug. 3, Cory shot 589, placing him 38th out of 50. The difference in the qualifi cation round between the first place shooter, who eventually got gold, and the 50th place shooter, was just 20 points, from 600 down to 580.

Cory didn’t medal, but that’s OK. If he decides to give it another go, he could still have a shot, pun

intended, at the Rio games.I’m not sure how the

same school, the same class of about 300, could produce two Olympians. From what I remember, Jason’s and Cory’s upbringings were pretty dissimilar. Cory defi nitely did not have an easy go of it. Both appear to have been successful later in life, however. Cory has a master’s degree in hu-man movement studies, for instance, a good education for an Olympian.

In order to keep his resting heartbeat down at a level so low that most people would be rushed to the hospital, he does more physical training than you can possibly imagine. I ran into him about 15 years ago and he told me he had his resting heartbeat down to 42 beats per minute, allowing him nearly 1.5 seconds between heartbeats

to shoot. He was training around seven hours a day, at that point. That’s dedi-cation.

Cory Niefer and Jason Parker have proven you don’t have to be rich, or trained in a special Chinese sporting school, or from some fancy place to make it to the most elite level of sporting in the world. They came from relatively humble beginnings, from little ol’ Yorkton.

What you do need is dedication. Both had it in spades, and carried through right into their thirties. That’s not an easy task.

Congratulations Cory, on making it to London, and hopefully we’ll see you in Rio.

A lot of points were available at the Estevan Motor Speedway on Aug. 3, and it was a big night for the Turnbulls who fi nished fi rst and second in the two modifi ed features that ran last Friday at the oval.

The speedway fi nally ran their opening night rac-es, which were postponed after getting rained out.

The fi rst three races of the 2012 schedule were called due to rain, and set for later dates. The opening night race, which encour-aged fans to pack the track with pink in a stand against bullying, fi nally went ahead and featured Samantha Evans in the 33 1/2 hobby stock car, painted pink for the anti-bullying theme.

The fi nal three races from July 21 kicked off the evening, as rain put a damper on them on their intended date. That just meant extra features for the racers and race fans and extra points up for grabs.

Aaron Turnbull took advantage of those points early in the night with the postponed mod feature, fi nishing second behind his father Ed. After completing Friday night’s heats, he powered his car to the front of the pack in the second feature of the night, captur-ing the checkered fl ag.

“It was a lot of fun,” said Turnbull. “I wish we

could do that more often. I wish we ran here more. We’ve got such a nice track in Estevan, there’s really no better place around here.”

Turnbull started in 10th in the second feature but quickly moved through the pack, riding the high line around the track, and jumped into fi rst. He built up a solid lead before a

caution fl ag came out at the midway point of the race.

Asked if he was happy with the restart, he replied, “Not really.

“Mike (Hagen), pretty much got ahead of me on that restart and I had to get up on the wheel and get back ahead of him because I didn’t know when I was out front if I was on the right line or not. I was just staying there until I saw someone go by me.”

But nobody passed him, so the Estevan racer stayed on the outside right until the fi nish line.

“I saw there was a little moisture on the top there on the pace laps, and I thought I’d try it,” said Turnbull. “Nobody else was running there so it was pretty much clear sailing all the way to the front as long as I stayed up there. Everywhere else was pretty slick, and there was just enough bite up

there to keep some trac-tion.”

Turnbull also took his car to Williston the fol-lowing night and captured his second feature victory in as many days. Turnbull sits atop the modifi ed points standings, fi ve points ahead of Minot’s Allen Kent and seven ahead of Manor’s Joey Galloway.

With the cool condi-tions last Friday, the track was in excellent shape. Turnbull said it wasn’t dif-ferent than any other race this year.

“They’ve had perfect tracks here every time we’ve raced this year. I couldn’t ask for anything better. It’s always smooth and always plenty of room to race.”

Rocky Alexander won both stock car features

of the evening, ahead of Austin Daae in second and Gregg Mann in third in the second feature of the night. He bested Geoff Mann and Kelly Henderson, who fi nished second and third, respectively in the first feature. Alexander sits atop the points standings for the stock cars, with Kelly Henderson and Gregg Mann close behind in a tie for second place just seven points backs.

Brad King was fi rst to the fi nish line in the hobby stock feature on Friday, with Eric Sinness coming second and Michael Dionne in third.

Blaine Durward is fi rst in the hobby stock standings with Gary Goudy Sr. in sec-ond, seven points back and Rodney Pickering in third, 16 points behind.

It has been an agoniz-ingly long time since we’ve heard from the Saskatch-ewan Roughriders.

In fact when we last heard from the Green & White, they were trying their best to explain how they blew a massive fourth quarter lead for a second-straight week and wound up with a loss. That was Saturday evening, July 28, after the Hamilton Tiger-Cats came into Mosaic Stadium and roughed up the Riders and stole their lunch money.

Since then, it would seem as though you could

hear a pin drop around Mo-saic Stadium/Taylor Field. Slotback Chris Getzlaf got out of Dodge and visited his brother at his Okanagan sanctuary. Fellow receiver Weston Dressler planned to make the short drive down to his hometown of Bismarck, N.D. Others hung around the Queen City to make various player appearances and heal up bumps and bruises.

A summer holiday? During FOOTBALL sea-son? Unheard of. But that’s the way it has gone in this head-scratcher of a 2012 CFL campaign. And maybe

that’s what is best for the Riders. When they left, they didn’t seem to have the answer for what ails them. Maybe, with some time to cool off, they’ll have those answers now.

The thing I get asked the most, by those outside

our fi ne province, is “How’s the Rider Nation taking the slide?” I’ve replied that while initially Rider fans were cheesed off at blowing the games and squandering a chance to be 5-0, they’ve lightened up and turned to humour to deal with the

situation.“What does it take to

beat the Riders?” one guy asked me this past week at the Queen City Exhibition in Regina. “Seven minutes!”

And they didn’t stop there.

“Don’t ask the Riders for change for a dollar,” another fair-goer cautioned. “They don’t have a fourth quarter!”

You can bet the Sas-katchewan Roughriders don’t like being a punchline. Things were rolling along like a well-oiled, finely-tuned machine during the club’s 3-0 start. We were starting to track the meteoric rise of rookie head coach Corey Chamblin and where his perfect start ranked

amongst modern era fi rst-year coaches (Ken Miller was 6-0 in 2008 and Kavis Reed 5-0 in 2011).

Then the wheels fell off.A prolonged break dur-

ing football season is as rare as a $3 bill, or a sighting of the Loch Ness monster or the Sasquatch. But, as they say in football, “it is what it is.” We’ll fi nd out soon if the Riders were able to fi nd themselves during their absence.

With upcoming road games against Edmonton and B.C. plus a home-and-home set with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on the horizon, very soon we’ll find out for ourselves exactly who the 2012 Saskatchewan Roughriders are.

Rachelle Axten of Minton travelled more than 10,000 kilometres to run a marathon of 42 km, but it was all in the name of raising funds for a charity close to her heart.

Axten completed her fi rst full marathon in Rio de Janerio, Brazil to help raise funds and awareness for the Canadian Diabetes Association. She com-pleted the race in just over three hours and had a great time doing it.

“It was a lot of fun,” said Axten. “My fi rst mara-thon went a lot better than I expected it to. After I fi nished the race and went back to the hotel, I felt great. My mom couldn’t believe how good I felt.”

In addition to complet-ing her fi rst marathon, Ax-ten has also raised $6,200 so far for diabetes. And she

wasn’t the only one down there raising for the cause. In total, Team Diabetes Canada had 65 participants in the race, and they were all raising funds.

Axten spent a total of fi ve days in Brazil and she said the weather was beautiful every day, except race day.

“It rained like crazy the entire day of the race,” she said.

The rain wasn’t nec-essarily a bad thing for the race as Axten said she would much rather run in the rain than the heat of Brazil.

Although the race was the reason for her southern trip, Axten said she also enjoyed her time down there with Team Diabetes Canada.

“We had lots of team meetings and suppers lead-

ing up to the race,” she said. “It was nice to be part of a big group, and to hear about their stories of how diabetes affected them.”

Axten’s grandpa and dad both have diabetes, and it made her want to get involved with helping raise funds for the disease. Anytime she had trouble training, Axten said she would think of her dad and grandpa to get the extra motivation.

She also wants to teach people about diabetes. In Brazil, Axten ran the mara-thon with lots of people who live with diabetes and she said it was great to see them and hear their stories.

“It goes to show you that if you have diabetes and take care of your-self, it won’t slow you down,” said Axten. “The people with diabetes had

no problem running the marathon.”

Axten is still raising funds for the Canadian Diabetes Association, and you may make a pledge to her by visiting www.team-diabetes.ca. She has until September to raise funds for her race in Brazil, but she is also accepting dona-tions for a 10-km run in Saskatoon Aug. 25. People may send a cheque, made payable to the Canadian Diabetes Association, to P.O. Box 261, Minton, SK, S0C 1T0. Anyone with questions may also contact her at 306-861-9789.

She added that the support she has received from the community has been great.

“I just want to thank everyone for the support they continue to show me,” said Axten.

We can probably agree that Wayne Gretzky is Canada’s greatest hockey player, that Steve Nash is the best basketball player our country has produced and that Mike Weir is No. 1 in golf.

And the g rea tes t Olympian, now that the 2012 London Games are fading into our rear-view mirror? Has to be Clara Hughes, a 39-year-old Winnipegger who won nary a medal in 2012 but has a dazzling Olympic record dating back to 1996 that is unparalleled.

The amazing thing about Hughes is not only that she has six medals to her lifetime credit, but that they were won in both Summer and Winter Olympic Games. In this era of sports specializa-tion - of the one-trick place-kicker in football and the one-inning relief pitcher - it is awe-inspiring to realize that not only is Hughes among the world’s best in cycling, but also in speed skating. Only four other athletes have ever won medals in both Sum-mer and Winter Games.

Hughes will be 41 in 2014 when the next Olympics are held in So-chi, Russia, and she will

Canada’s Olympic queen? Clara Hughes

probably be in attendance in some executive fashion, but competing? Unlikely. But never say never with Clara.

She didn’t compete in Summer Games of 2004 or 2008, but has been in every other Olympics - Summer and Winter - since 1996. She won a couple of bronze medals in cycling in 1996 in Atlanta. She came home with speed skating medals in three successive Winter Olympics - Salt Lake City in 2002, Turin, Italy in 2006 and Vancouver in 2010 - and surprised ab-solutely no one when she said she was coming out of retirement to try to make Canada’s cycling team in London.

She made the 2012 team, although she failed to add to her accumulation of medals. Nonetheless, Hughes’ story is an inspir-ing one, especially when you take into account the rest of her life’s travails - a

wild teenager involved in drugs, an adult life faced with clinical depression - that she has faced and overcame.

Clara Hughes is Can-ada’s greatest Olympian, a title she will likely hold forever.

The Queen’sDiamond Jubilee Medals


NationalTORONTO - Toron-

to Blue Jays right-handed pitchers Drew Hutchison and Dustin McGowan were scheduled to undergo surgery yesterday.

The Jays say Hutchison, 21, will have Tommy John surgery performed by Dr. James Andrews in Pensacola, Fla.

The Lakeland, Fla., na-tive was in his rookie season for the Blue Jays having posted a 5-3 record with a 4.60 ERA in 11 starts.

The team says antici-pated recovery time for Hutchison is one year.

McGowan, 30, visited Andrews on August 8 and was scheduled for arthroscopic shoulder surgery to evalu-ate the right shoulder joint yesterday.

The Savannah, Geor-gia native has had shoulder surgeries performed in 2008 and 2010.

***TORONTO - Frank

Dancevic has had better days in the Rogers Cup.

Only fi ve years ago, he reached the quarter-fi nals.

But Mikhail Kukush-kin of Kazakhstan defeated Dancevic 6-3, 7-5 in a fi rst-round Rogers Cup match on August 7.

Kukushkin, 24, ranked 69th in the world, will play Richard Gasquet of France in the next round.

Dancevic, 27, a native of Niagara Falls, Ont., is trying to resurrect a career that had him ranked 65th in the world at one stage. He entered the Rogers Cup as a wild card ranked 123rd in the world.

***WINNIPEG - Mike

Kelly is back coaching, but it’s far, far away from the CFL.

The former Winnipeg Blue Bombers head coach is the new offensive co-ordi-nator for the varsity football team at Mariner High School in Cape Coral, Fla.

The last time he coached high school football was 1981.

“I’m retraining my eyes and ears and retraining my mouth also,” Kelly said with a laugh in a phone interview Monday after the Fighting Tritons’ fi rst offi cial practice.

“It’s actually a good thing to have to break things down to their true essence and really be thorough in your explanation of technique and scheme.

“It’s been very, very good for me. Rejuvenating, actually.”

When classes begin Wednesday at the public school of about 2,000 students near Fort Myers, Fla., Kelly will also be teaching some physical education and driv-ers’ education courses.

Canadian leaps for bronze in London

Kelly’s return to the grid-iron comes 2 1/2 years after his tumultuous tenure with the Bombers ended.

Kelly, 54, was fi red by the Bombers in December 2009 after a controversial rookie season as head coach. His outspoken ways often landed him in hot water with fans, the media and CFL brass and a 7-11 record didn’t help matters.

InternationalLONDON - Simon

Whitfi eld has been knocked out of the Olympic triathlon after crashing early in the bike race.

The Canadian was in good position following a 1.5-kilometre swim but lost control of his bike after go-ing over a small speed bump coming out of the transition.

Whitfi eld veered sharply to the left and went careening off his bike into a curb and metal guard-rail. He knocked another competitior down in the process.

The 37-year-old from Kingston, Ont., didn’t even have time to slide his bare feet into the shoes attatched to his bike pedals before crashing.

Whitfi eld was an Olym-pic champion at the Sydney Games in 2000 and won silver in Beijing four years ago. He was Canada’s flag-bearer during the opening ceremony in London.

This was expected to be his last Games.

***LONDON - Canadian

Tara Whitten fi nished third in the individual pursuit August 7 to move into a tie for third overall after four events of

the six-race omnium at the Olympic Velodrome.

Whitten, who came into the day in fourth spot, covered the three kilometres in three minutes 31.114 seconds.

The 32-year-old Edmon-ton rider, who has already won bronze in the women’s team pursuit at the Games, was world omnium champion in 2010 and 2011.

She was fourth at the worlds early this year and at the London test event in February.

***LONDON - Derek Dr-

ouin has won Canada’s fi rst track and fi eld medal at the London Olympics.

The Corunna, Ont., na-tive won bronze in men’s high jump August 7, fi nishing in a three-way tie with Britain’s Robert Grabarz and Qatar’s Mutaz Essa Barshim.

All three cleared 2.29 metres without any misses then missed three attempts at 2.33 metres.

Ivan Ukhov of Russia won the gold with a jump of 2.38 metres while American Erik Kynard took silver with 2.33.

Canada now has 11 med-als at the Games.

Meanwhile, Canada has two entries in the women’s fi nal of the 100-metre hurdles.

Calgary’s Jessica Zelin-ka fi nished second in her heat with a time of 12.66 seconds to automatically qualify for the fi nal later Tuesday.

Phylicia George of Markham, Ont., also made the fi nal after fi nishing third in her heat with a personal best time of 12.65 seconds.

Outdoor Fire Pit SafetyWith summer just around the corner, it’s time for families to enjoy an evening around their backyard fi re pits. To ensure

your summer fun is not dampened, keep in mind a few fi re safety tips while using your outdoor fi re pit.-Many people are allergic to smoke, so be courteous to your neighbours and don’t allow smoke from your fi re to interfere with their enjoyment of the outdoors.-Keep your fi re manageable. Large fi res can give off excessive amounts of heat, which could easily ignite surrounding combustible materials (fences, decks, sheds).-Never start a fi re in your pit with fl ammable liquids. Remember your boy scout days, and start it with small kindling. -Small children should always be kept a safe distance from the fi re pit.-Keep a garden hose nearby, just in case hot embers do escape. -Never leave your fi re unattended. Before you retire for the evening, soak your fi re down with water to ensure all hot embers are completely extinguished.-A permit is required for all outdoor fi re pits. They’re free. Just drop by the Fire Hall for a permit application.-If requested to extinguish your fi re by a City Offi cial (Police or Fire), please do so immediately. Failure to comply will result in a revoked permit, and a fee for service should the Fire Department be called to extinguish it on your behalf. Be fi re safe and enjoy your fi re pit this summer.
