You can catch the morning show every weekday starting at 5:45am! (unless I'm late, then 6am) Send me an email at      Friday February 5th Today’s Word: The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat. 1956 Close of seventh Winter Olympic games in Italy. Canada failed to win a Gold Medal, and the USSR team took away Canada's crown in Ice Hockey. 1958 A hydrogen bomb known as the Tybee Bomb is lost by the US Air Force off the coast of Savannah, Georgia, never to be recovered 1979 Ever wonder why your beer comes with such obvious warnings? Woodrow Bussey files suit against the Adolf Coors Brewing Company for failing to warn him that their product, Coors Beer, is an intoxicating beverage. 1980 Gordie Howe plays in his 23rd and final NHL all-star game at age 51; Howe, from Floral, Saskatchewan, will retire from the Hartford Whalers at the end of the season. 2006 New business development for the downtown. Meyers Norris Penny has plans to build on the corner of Cheadle Street and 1st Ave NE. Last Tuesday, council approved new zoning for the area, which includes a parking lot north of the RCMP detachment. Connecting Care had originally planned to build a senior's home on this property… right next to every downtown bar in the city, probably better that they didn’t go ahead with that. 2006 The Pittsburgh Steelers won a record-tying fifth Super Bowl with a 21-10 win over the Seattle Seahawks. 2008 A major tornado outbreak across the Southern United States leaves 57 dead, the most since the May 31, 1985 outbreak that killed 88. Eighty-seven tornadoes occurred over the course of the outbreak, which lasted over 15 hours. It also produced hail as large as softballs – 4.5 inches (11 cm) in diameter – major flooding, significant freezing rain, and heavy snow across many areas of eastern North America. The total damage from the entire weather system exceeded $1 billion National news headlines this morning: Pluto is changing its looks, donning more rouge in its complexion and altering its iceball surface here and there. It hasn’t changed colors from 1954 till now, but all of a sudden astronomers say it has about 20 percent more red than it used to have. I’m willing to bet it’s just mad that it isn’t a planet anymore.

	Dustin Dion   Hey, I'm Dustin Dion and I am very happy to bring you the Top 30 songs across the Golden West Radio Network every weekend, and right here Saturdays at 1:00pm on Country Music Radio. I grew up on a grain farm near Torquay in the southeast conrner of Saskatchewan.  In my spare time in the winter, I am found at the rink, either playing or watching hockey.  In the summer, you can find me golfing, playing slo-pitch, at the farm, or in the back yard BBQing.
