I spoke with a good friend by the name of Janice who lives near Bannf National Park in Alberta. It's up there. She mentioned the temp this morning, "Hey, the temperature has gone up 4 degrees...it's only -24C with the wind chill ha ha ha."Then came a voice from South America who said "A crazy cool! do not envy you for nothing; Here it is sunny with 25 c... a beautiful day" Of course a fella chimed in with a picture from Anakara Turkey (we are all professional photographers)
The temp in Cheney is as cool as Alberta but not as coold asa Malo near the Canadian border. All of these winds are killing my in my wheelchair. I have 4 layers with thermals and artic gear but the wind blows through near the legs....lets say it is supposed to be this way for a while....be prepared..

A federal judge ruled Tuesday morning that the city of Detroit is eligible for Chapter 9 bankruptcy, paving the way for the largest municipal bankruptcy filing in the nation's history.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes ruled the city met the criteria required to enter bankruptcy after four months of legal wrangling between the city's state-appointed emergency manager, Kevin Orr, and unions that worry bankruptcy will lead to deep pension cuts.

WSP TO ADOPT “WHOLE PERSON” APPROACH TO EMPLOYMENT SCREENING
-Agency to Rely Less on Rigid Disqualifiers at Beginning of Process-
(Olympia)—The Washington State Patrol is changing the way it screens applicants for employment, choosing to look at the “whole person” before making a decision on hiring.
Previously, the State Patrol had a rigid list of disqualifiers, which it presented to applicants at the very beginning of the hiring process. The agency is concerned that some applicants incorrectly thought they might not qualify for employment.
“We believe we’ve been scaring off some applicants who would have made fine employees,” said Captain Rob Huss, commander of WSP’s Government and Media Relations Office. “This new process will allow us to learn more about the whole person, and make a better informed decision.”
We encourage anyone with an interest in law enforcement to apply, as the Patrol has more than 223 troopers and sergeants eligible to retire between now and 2017. There are also many non-uniform positions available in the agency. He especially hopes that those who looked at the disqualifiers and chose not to proceed will give the process another look.
The new approach does not mean the agency is lowering its standards. WSP has a very detailed hiring process, which is still more-than-capable of detecting those who might be unqualified to work in law enforcement. The agency’s commitment to hiring only the best has not changed.
WSP surveyed many peer agencies around the country before making this adjustment. The common denominator was looking at the whole person rather than using a rigid list of disqualifiers right off the bat.
“We know that those with more life experience make better employees, and life experiences aren’t always positive,” Huss said. “The burden will be on the candidate to explain how they’ve grown from their experiences, but we’ll now be more willing to listen.”
Obviously, there are still some behaviors that are not compatible with ever serving in law enforcement. Those include felonies, domestic violence, or sale of drugs.
Washington State Patrol Seeks Additional Witnesses
The Washington State Patrol’s Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) is investigating the two-truck, railroad trestle fatality collision that occurred last Friday, November 22, 2013 at 7:18 in the morning. The crash was on State Route 20 at milepost 406 in Pend Oreille County. Detectives have learned that a southbound tractor-trailer tipped over in a curve to the right and crossed the centerline into the path of a northbound tractor towing a lowboy trailer. The trucks collided in the northbound lane and the original truck continued south into a pillar supporting the train trestle.
Detectives are seeking witnesses that may have seen any events leading to or the actual crash. If you have any information or know someone who does, please contact Detective Sergeant Jerry Cooper at (360) 805-1192 or Detective Dan Comnick at (360) 805-1160.
