Editorial Wasted These past two weeks the community of Nome has been searching for a visitor from Savoonga who went missing. He was last seen when he was kicked out of a Front Street restaurant because he was drunk. Public inebriates are nothing new for Nome. We see more than we should. We have all helped the stumbling drunks by pulling them out of the street and calling for police assistance. Nomeites have volun- teered their services as members of the safety patrol and supervised the cold weather safety shelter. The services these folks provide are priceless. Nomeites care about the safety of our neighbors and visitors. How- ever, the burden of oneʼs own safety lies within oneʼs own self. Visitors need to know that they canʼt crawl off with a bottle that may have been provided by a “friend” and pass out in the middle of Front Street with- out endangering their life. Visitors need to know that when they stum- ble off to an abandoned shed and pass out, they may never be found. One needs to know that drunks cannot seek refuge in the rocks along the seawall or solace on the beach. Ice and snow will cover their bod- ies and they may never surface till spring. Perhaps they will be carried Courtesy of the Carrie M. McLain Memorial Museum, Nome, Alaska away by the waves. The forces of nature are not forgiving.
