While up at the school yesterday I noticed these windows boarded up with plywood.During the summer vacation all the lower floor windows are covered the same way, an anti vandalism technique.
It is not the case now, the windows were vandalized, one presumes while school was open. If memory serves, the windows have been boarded up for over six months. Relying on memory again, the replacement glass was sent in but it was the wrong size. Not sure how long ago that was, it seems to me the situation may be getting out of hand, it’s a long time for those class rooms to be like that, I have to wonder how it is effecting the moral of the children and staff.

Thanks Wayne, always with the compliments.
The story there is; I had a call from a CBC reporter in GB asking if I had water at the house. When I said yes he sounded disappointed, that may be unfair, but it sounded like it to me.
Any way the reporter then mentioned he had noticed the photos on my blog, they had no one up here and were doing a piece on the situation and wondered if they could use them, of course I gave my blessing. Reporter did not add that they had been looking for photos from other sources all day, nothing is sacred in small towns eh if you are of a mind to find out stuff, something I only do occasionally.
The water situation is same as yesterday, though I believe things could move in the positive direction later today.
The disaffected students are still out, refusing to go back until there is adequate water pressure for the bathrooms. With the acute shortage of office/meeting space in the town the alternatives are limited.
The student strike made the provincial radio news, no mean feat in these days of navel gazing Avalon Peninsular centric media executives. Then again maybe we should be thankful for what we get. Then again that fly’s in the face of the Williams Government mantra. Then again …………………………………..

over the years most of the news (outside mineral exploration,resources,etc.) we get to see from labrador consists of doom and gloom. from northern labrador it has been mainly gloom and doom.i know this is not great news lately but at least it shows everyday life in a community similar to other parts of the province.
