It is a windy, blustery day in Nome today. They are talking about roads getting washed out on the way to Council and evacuating some of the villages in Shishmaref up north.
I had the opportunity to go to the Notary Club of Nome at one of the little café restaurants downtown. I got to skip my fourth period class for it and everything. It’s a neat thing to see some of the other business people of the town. The superintendent of the school district got to do his shpiel on the new bond coming up in October to pay for the overages in construction costs (due to stuff like the war in Iraq) and for the new high school/middle school remodel. Right now, the junior high is in the middle of the building, with poor ventilation and no windows to the outside world. Fake lighting all the time makes for a long day. It looks like it will be an incredible new facility. I really hope the bond passes!! It is amazing how far this superintendent is taking this district—it really is.
