but as everybody knows a long way to go. Natuashish became the fist community to ban alcohol last evening. The vote was close, 76 for the ban 74 against. Chief Poker said that it was a tie at one point, then two late arrivals to the gym voted with the yes side.
Voter turn out was low; the 2006 census shows 710 soles with 435 over the age of 15. Reports are saying half of the eligible voters turned up.
It is a first positive step sure [personally I am against bans of this type] and a lot of work ahead for the community, police, addictions and social workers, I wish them all the best.
It sounds like dealing with bootleggers will be in the hands of the RCMP; Poker says they now have the tools to clamp down. RCMP is saying that not much will change from their point, but it is a step forward.
The Google Earth shot show the 3 northern most communities on the coast, Nain is top left partly hidden.
So we are into a little storm, nothing major just winds to high 60 clicks giving drifting snow, wind chills to -35. The water is to be turned off at 9 for 4 hours; looks like the guys have located the source of the water main leek, taken several days to dig around and down to the valve.
