Number One Son
It seems that the "Number One Son" position has been taken over by none other than Dr. Howard Irvine. Dr. Irvine is the infamous CDC field correspondent who is well known among CDC readers for such articles as "Bear Baiting", the "Friday Expedition" and "Bison Antiquus Occidentalis". I guess this is what happens when the real "Number One Son" sits on his laurels. Watch out Dr. Irvine, the world is a small place to hide...

The Amphidex
Or We Are Not Gods
So what's the deal with this Amphidex machine that the Free Press is raving about? It failed last year and it's likely going to fail this year. Doesn't anybody remember when they tried to break up the ice in the Red River last year and the Amphidex sunk to the bottom of the river? After completely destroying the engine, transmission, bucket and pontoons? How short do they think our memories are?
The Amphidex is being portrayed as a "floating backhoe". First of all, a backhoe does not float. Secondly, a backhoe doesn't have enough power to break fourteen feet of ice. It might be ok with a foot or so of ice, but that's it. What is really needed here is a course on geography which will explain to those who are interested that the Red River of the North drains to the north. Therefore there will be flooding from time to time because the outlet will always be frozen early in the year. Breaking the ice will do absolutely nothing no matter what anybody says!
I'm inviting anybody who's interested to head up the End of Main this week to have a look. We can picket them for all the diesel that gets dumped into the river and we can laugh when it once again sinks to the bottom of the river and is swept out into Lake Manitoba by the undercurrents. And as a bonus, our Asian reporter, Lionel Chang, will be on-site to answer any questions.
