Congrats are in order to John Hickey, and to Danny, for Mr. Hickey’s appointment to the provincial cabinet. Now we will learn first hand if having a local in cabinet does makes a difference to Labrador.
Mr. Hickey stated on CBC local this morning that he will work diligently to ensure we get a fair shake, he did waffle on about IF the Province would ‘go it alone’ on projects that have an alleged 60 million of provincial monies budgeted but await funding commitments from the Feds. Mr. Hickey also committed that his first trip would be to the coast, to asses first hand some transportation issues.
This is the third minister of transport in the present government, kind of a revolving door, any one who has an interest in improving the transportation service up here will have to go through it again.
It is interesting the growing amount of animals that are finding their way into the community of late. Last night the big draw was a porcupine; it was hunkered down amongst large boulders in a rock quarry.
Two bears that hang around the dump and other areas are becoming really tame, not a good sign. No further sign of the moose or the musk ox sighted in the spring. A cross fox is hanging around the perimeter of town, no word of rabies’, could be just looking for cheap meal.

Remember how they kept the deer off the field in Field of dreams so the grass would grow?
They spread hair clippings all around so the scent of man was everywhere hence the animals deer in this case stayed away.
I would think some sort of composting initiative would be a good idea for you up there what with the lack of top soil and all.
I recently heard of an initiatie like this some big city. Where by the town added their compost to a communal area and it was turned and taken care of by the group in charge.
Removing the biodegradable garbage from your local dump would remove the draw for wild animals as well as providing your town with a source of top soil for a communal garden plot. Alot of those in Germany each plot had it's on little cabin shack for parties and storing tools and gardening stuff.
Would definately need a fence me thinks.
Good luck.
