Take a Stand Itʼs time for Nomeites to develop a backbone and do what is right. We have a drug problem. We have an alcohol problem. If there is any solace in the situation it is that we are not alone. It is a statewide and nationwide situation. Our teens, young adults and old geezers are buying heroin. Does this turn on the warning lights? We need to put together a community action group to attack the problem. Some of our users are either so bold or so stupid as to flaunt their use on Facebook. Itʼs time to put our shoulders to the wheel and clean up our act. We have addressed such issues in the past with the Drugs Arenʼt Wanted in Nome (DAWN) program, but it and others all seem to have gone defunct. We need to express our outrage at the damage drugs have done to our community. Itʼs time for our civic organizations, non-profits and religious enti- ties to join forces and put the drug dealers out of business. We also need a treatment and rehab program to get folks back to a drug- and alcohol-free way of living. —N.L.M.—
Illegitimus non carborundum Comment by Laura Samuelson with photo courtesy of the Carrie M. McLain Memorial Museum DARE DEVIL – Check out this Olympic- sized ski jump erected by Nomeites in about 1906 on the slopes of Dry Creek just north of Nome. Looks like this guy is about to run out of snow farther down the course. Does this inspire anyone to take to our slopes?

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2014 THE NOME NUGGET Events in Shaktoolik! By Emily Bena and Lynda Bekoalok Cassie Smith instructs the students on the best ways to build their own airplane. Shaktoolik students work on an airplane project. This week our ECE students are learning all about different forms of transportation. They talked about how everyone got to and from school and how it changed from summer to fall to winter. Students understood that walking or riding bikes in the summer worked because of the weather. Then when it got colder they rode on a honda or a snow machine. The students also shared their ideas about different ways to go between the villages. How does your family go from Shaktoolik to Unalakleet? Boat? Plane? Snow machine? Honda? The class even had a 2-foot car constructed of cardboard boxes.

Looking back, the fire had taken hold, was starting to gain strength and was headed to the rafters when the guys found it and started extinguishing it.
