Saint Rose RC MP responded to an A TV collision on road 95 west near highway five in the RM of Lake Shore where the A TV had struck a tree. The A TV was reported stolen back on July 4th and turned up 22 days later due to this incident, the driver, a 28 year old male from Dauphin was found deceased at the scene while the passenger, a 26 year old female from Crane River was taken to hospital with non life threatening injuries. Neither occupant was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The RC MP continues to investigate the Manitoba government says it will disband the protection for persons in care office after a damning report on abuse in personal care homes. Auditor General Tyson Tao's report says some care home residents have been punched, slapped and assaulted but no action was taken by the office that oversees services to vulnerable people. One case involved an elderly resident who was held down on a bed and threatened with death. Manitoba Justice Minister Kelvin Gerson says the office will be eliminated and replaced with a new independent body that will report directly to the legislature. In response to the report. The opposition ndp say for years, they have been calling for an independent seniors advocate to ensure proper oversight of long term care home residents.

Last season, Mark Lewis of Dauphin has signed a one year contract with the Manitoba Moose, a member of the American Hockey League. The contract means Mark will get the chance to play in front of his family and friends on a consistent basis for the first time since he played with the OCM Blizzard. Big, big dream. Obviously, you want to, you want to play in front of people that I've seen you play or I've been there through uh through your hockey journey, your hockey career and just life in general. And uh yeah, it's, it's actually pretty humbling just uh just to see the, just people reaching out and the support I I received. So, yeah. No, I'm just excited to earn a roster spot and just got to keep uh keep working 10th in team scoring last year with the Wichita Thunder in the ECHL. He was one of only eight players on that team to score 10 goals. And now the Moose hosts the Calgary Wranglers to open the new season on Friday October 13th. Thanks Darnell in international sports news. Ukraine has signaled it will no longer bar its athletes from competing against Russians who are taking part in sporting events as neutral athletes. That would be a significant easing of its boycott policy. A year before the Paris Olympics, Ukrainian athletes and teams will only be required to boycott if competitors from Russia or Belarus are competing under their national flags or other symbols. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers reportedly took a pay cut and has agreed to a new two year $75 million US guaranteed contract with the New York Jets. The four time NFL MVP had nearly $110 million in guaranteed money remaining in his previous deal with the Green Bay Packers. But Rodgers is taking less money with New York and reiterating his stay with the Jets is likely to last beyond just this season. That's the CKDM news.
