It is expected to get up to a temperature of +19 degrees Celsius today, kawabunga!

After reading and listening to reports of the fire up at Hebron this is what I have garnered to date: The fire started in a chimney of one of the temporary workers cabins at the restoration site. These cabins were of all wood construction and were located about 100 meters from the historical Moravian church.
The fire started Tuesday morning and high winds quickly spread the fire to 2 adjacent cabins destroying all.
A Nain family who was stationed in Hebron as caretakers, and were the only occupants of the cabins at the time of the fire, have been airlifted back to their home town.

After the fire the family re located to a privately owned cabin and then a group of people hunting and gathering in the vicinity used their satellite phone to alert authorities of the situation.

Little François is back at the grindstone on a temporary basis.

Okalakatiget Society asked Fran to fill the role of orientation person for the new Program Director and as temporary Executive Director.
This came about due to the former Ex Dir leaving and the Program Director starting in a new position this past Tuesday and the society being unsuccessful in recruiting a replacement permanent Ex Dir to date.
The former Ex Dir replaced Little François when she abruptly left the society early in 2008.

Did they ever get the transmitter sorted out? I've seen a couple of those, but they wanted a mint for them.
