Evacuee watched her home burn down in Prairie wildfire
A Saskatchewan woman describes the devastation of watching her family home go up in flames on a neighbour's doorbell camera -- and the moment her little brother reminded her what really matters. For the first time, Mexico has chosen its judges through public elections. But our guest says the most telling thing about the results is how few people actually showed up to vote. Their fellow graduates are celebrating, but for the US Air Force Academy's transgender cadets, the present and future are full of anxiety – because their government is barring them from the military. Tributes are pouring in for Marc Garneau, the first Canadian in space. Fellow astronaut Dave Williams remembers him as a remarkable -- and humble -- friend. A 3-hundred pound sea turtle gets some much-needed medical attention after colliding with a boat off the coast of Florida. But first her vets had to solve the significant challenge of finding a C-T scanner big enough for her. Moment of drought. Scientists in Germany find that trees can remember living without enough water – and can learn from that experience to prepare for the future. Case of the blues. American researchers recreate a 5-thousand year-old pigment called "Egyptian Blue" -- which reminds us of the time a Pasadena man extracted dormant yeast from an ancient Egyptian pot, and used it to bake a loaf of bread. And…out of fin air. A group of disc golfers in South Carolina are exactly as surprised as you would be when a small hammerhead shark falls out of the sky and lands right in front of them. As It Happens, the Thursday edition. Radio that's a real shark to the system.

Wisconsin veterans ride in helicopter to commemorate Memorial Day
A group of Wisconsin veterans commemorated Memorial Day by doing something they hadn't done in more than 50 years: ride in a helicopter. "This is relaxing," Ken Seeger, an Air Force veteran who served in Vietnam, told WCCO News. "You have to wonder how in the devil we ever got back here." Seeger was one of 11 Vietnam vets who took turns taking flight. They first carried a flag around town and then they laid two wreaths at a pond in Pioneer Park. "I'm just glad to have the grandkids and great grandkids and that's things you never ever thought about 50 some years ago," Seeger added. "It was a whole different world. Hundreds gathered at the park to watch the flights as well as attend a Memorial Day ceremony. Dave Williams drove more than an hour away in Ladysmith to honor his great-great-uncle Carl Pederson, one of more than 20 soldiers and airmen from Prairie Farm who were killed in action. Pederson died in France in 1918. "My great grandpa was his brother, and he died when he was 23. That's young," Williams lamented to WCCO News. "He was one of the relatives I never got to know."
