"We're usually out there by now, but the ice, the wind has held us back," said John Max Kudlak, who serves on the parks management board and the Paulatuk Hunters and Trappers Com- mittee. The committee is holding its annual general meeting today, July 23. Despite the whaling season's slow start, Kudlak said char fishing in the area has been promising. Fish caught recently are older and heavier than a few years ago, he said, up to around 15 pounds each from about four pounds. The area's char monitoring program will be up and running by the end of the month to guard against overfishing. Canoe Days coming Tsiigehtchic/Arctic Red River The community of Tsiigehtchic is preparing for its 19th annual Canoe Days festival, scheduled for Aug. 21 to 23. Festival organizers, including Charlene Blake, have been fundraising for the event since April. Blake said organizers hope to raise $10,000 for the festival, which includes traditional activities in addition to canoe races on the river. So far, the community has supported the festival by attending bingo and purchasing dinner plates and raffle tickets, including some for an IPod Touch music player. Blake said organizers may give away a laptop computer as well. Rain won't dampen music fest Telit'Zheh/Fort McPherson Next weekend marks the annual Midway Lake Music Festival in Fort McPherson. The lineup for the festival, which runs from July 31 to Aug. 3, includes dozens of local entertainers and fiddlers, such as Michael Francis. Joining local performers will be acts from Saskatchewan and Alberta, including country/rock band Out of the Blue, rock band Black Rain and the Norman Danais Band from Meander River, Alta.

Set in Maine these 13 linked tales The Voice of Denendeh CKLB 101.9, broadcasting to 30 NWT communities and two diamond mines present a poignant portrait of wonderfully complex, flawed and very human characters trying to live the best lives they can. Strout appears to be fascinated by marriage believing that we are most truly revealed in our intimate relationships and her insights on that front are astounding. In the opening story, Pharmacy, we are introduced to the sardonic junior high-school teacher Olive Kitteridge and her gently gre- garious pharmacist husband, Henry, both of whom suffer painful attractions to co-work- ers. Olive is the core character around whom the stories circle. At times Olive's forthright- ness is off-putting but gradually her courage to accept difficult truths about herself fills the reader with admiration. The linked stories that make up the whole of Olive Kitteridge deal with the stuff of daily life. Elizabeth Strout handles the emotionally powerful themes of suicide, depression, bad communication, aging and love so deftly that the reader feels enriched and certainly blessed in reading about the lives of these fine characters. news Inuvik Drum, Thursday, July 23, 2009 7 Remembering Burton Fourteen-year-old drowning victim remembered as a bright kid with a promising future
