She says there was a large turn-out last night at the gym and the ten students that participated did really well.

Townley says the first place winner was Mary Andersen of Nain.

She won $500.00

The second place winner was Georgia Abel of Hopedale and she won $250.00.

The third place went to Roxanne Andersen of Nain and she won $100.00.

Townley says the students had the privilege to speak in Inuttitut about whatever they wanted to.

The title is “Magical Mystery Tour, Canada's Nunatsiavut Coast”.

Kristy Sheppard is the Director of Tourism for the Nunatsiavut Government.

She says Michelle Valberg, a photographer for the magazine, was on the Adventure Canada cruise ship last September.

After Valbergs visited the coast and took photos, Above & Beyond wanted to do a photographic spread of Nunatsiavut.

Sheppard says the government was then approached by the magazine last December.

Above & Beyond wanted to partner with Nunatsiavut to do the article.

And she says her division agreed because they wanted to contribute to an awareness campaign.

She believes the article will increase Nunatsiavut's profile as a destination, in both Canada and across the Arctic.

Nunatsiavut's title is at times confused with Nunavut, and Sheppard says this article will help clear up this confusion.

She says their awareness campaign is working on circulating the Nunatsiavut name and trying to formalized a product to market and sell.

Sheppard says they are quite pleased with the article, because it includes Hebron and Rigolet, the two locations the Adventure Canada cruise ship stopped at last summer.

She says they look forward in continuing their tourism activities.

James Goudie is the Wildlife Manager for Nunatsiavut.

He says a total of 6 polar bears can be taken from Fish Cove Point in Gros Water Bay to Cape Chidley.

Goudie says this includes towns from Rigolet, Postville, Makkovik, and Hopedale, hunters are allowed one bear for each community.

And in Nain two polar bears are allowed to be taken.

He says the bag limit is one polar bear of either sex, except that female bears accompanied by cubs may not be taken.

Nor will the bears be taken in a den and active dens shall not be disturbed in any way, which includes polar bears equipped with radio transmitters or collars.

We'll have more information from Goudie about polar bears on a national scale this week.

It's all over the news, television, radio and the internet.

There's no doubt, this is an historic moment in history.

Nain's own Terry Lyall is at the ceremony in Washington DC right now, so if you're watching the news keep an eye out for his red RCMP uniform.

Tomorrow or Thursday OK radio will get Lyall to tell us all about his experience at the inauguration ceremony.

So stay tuned to OK radio and congratulations to the new President of the United States.

We spoke to Constable McBride who is with the RCMP detachment in Nain.

He says Judge Joy is presiding, Gordon Balkin is the Crown Prosecutor and Cindy Starkes is the Defense Lawyer.
