Editorial Water, water “Water, Water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink. —The Ancient Mariner Samuel T. Coleridge 1772-1834

Water, water everywhere and that should make us think. As we hear of devastating fires and record-breaking drought we sit here in Nome and listen to the steady drumming of rain on our metal roofs. We open our water taps and pure fresh water fills our glass. Oh, we complain because weʼve had a long stretch of rainy, miserable, cold weather, but we should remember that pure water is one of the worldʼs most sought after commodities. Nome is so lucky to have a plentiful supply of clean artesian well water from Moonlight Springs. We have a precious gift that has a growing market potential. Just imagine the revenue the City could take in. We need some nice re-cycled plastic bottles with the image of Anvil Mountain or a gold pan, dog team or a moonbeam. We can promote our water as having filtered through the Mother Lode and put a few Photo Courtesy of the Carrie M. McLain Memorial Museum flecks of gold in each quart.

Of course, we heads ready for a feast on Nome’s Sandspit. must do all we can to keep it clean. The Moonlight Springs watershed is a gift worth protecting. If we ever lose it, it canʼt be replaced. We should not get careless about clean water.

One of the reasons KNOM has been so successful over the past 40 years there were many who helped: Jon’s Family, Eric Trigg, Maria Trigg and sons, Barbara is because of its respect for the varied cultures of Western Alaska and its will- ingness to deal honestly and truthfully with the joys, the struggles and the is- Aukon’s family and Charlie Brown’s family.
