4 WING COLD LAKE – At approximately 2:20 p.m. May 26, 2003, a CF-18 from 416 Tactical Fighter Squadron at 4 Wing Cold Lake crashed during an Exercise MAPLE FLAG mission. The pilot is deceased. Search and Rescue crews from 417 Squadron were immediately dispatched by CH-146 Griffon helicopter to the scene. The accident occurred approximately 5 km north of Burnt Lake, AB, which is located on the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range (CLAWR). The name of the pilot is Capt Kevin Naismith, 38 years old, originally from Toronto. The reason for the accident is unknown at this time but is being investigated. As soon as more details become available they will be provided.

Following nearly two months of exten- sive renovations, the new owners of Trenton’s Centre Theatre held a grand opening on Friday, May 23. Informal tours were given by co- owner Joe Donato, who pointed out that practically everything was replaced. “We’ve got new seats, a new roof and a new heating and air conditioning sys- tem,” said Donato. “Also, there is now DTS sound in two of the three theatres.” Within the next few weeks, he expects work will be completed on the outside of the century old building. During his 10-year career as the the- atre’s manager, Donato approached the former owner several times about pur- chasing the business.
