We seemed to be missing the brunt of the storm again; bit of wind and some blowing snow, not too bad really, wonder what the rest of March and April will bring.

Giant reached the Kaipokok Bay at 9.30am and raised his walking stick shouting,"I have reached the sea, I have reached the salt water."He paused, took his breathe and moved on towards Postville 15 kms away.
By 11 am 6 to 10 women walked towards to meet their inspiration for the battle against Diabetes.When they met they hugged and praises of pride. Some freinds came by ski doo to Big Point and walked back with him towards Postville.When he came close, loud cheers and applauds came from 100 or so people waiting.More hugs and words of encouragement.
Albert Winters (84), brought his daughter who is diabetic had made a placard for Giant and Giant said this is the moment he will never forget and will have the placard framed.He also met Tom, another elder from Postville. Giant is very attached to elders from all over.His diabetes awareness walk and research has also developed some close frienships.
We thank the Postville residents for their genorosity and wonderful supper.

Northerns new store is tentatively scheduled to open at the end of this month. Along with relocating the inventory in the two temporary stores there is 80,000 lb of freight to come in via Goose Bay.

That’s a lot of freight to move for one order; twin otters can take about 3,000 lb a shot so that is about 27 flights.

I enquired about who would absorb the freight charges on all this, I was told the head honchos in Winnipeg had not decided that as yet. I know where my guess would be, but then surprises do happen at times.
