That’s according to Larry Crann, an Emergency Response Officer with the Canadian Coast Guard.

He says a surveillance flight last week indicated that the barge is still in good condition, it hasn’t budged, and there are no indications pollution.

Crann says the McNally Olympics Construction, Nunatsiavut Government, Canadian Coast Guard, Transport Canada and the Department of Fisheries & Oceans are meeting December 3^rd to come up with a firm monitoring schedule for the winter.

McNally Olympics, Transport Canada, DFO and the Canadian Coast Guard conduct surveillance flights on a weekly basis.

Melva Williams is Community Development Officer for the Town.

She says the boardwalk along the shoreline has been extended by 4 kms.

It starts at the school and follows the shoreline out towards the point.

As well there are wooden steps leading up to Burntwood Cove Hill.

And when you get to the top you can see miles and miles by using the Hi- Spy viewing machine.

There is also a large Gazebo built on top of the hill so you can enjoy the view in comfort.

Williams says work is being done on a Storyboard that will provide information about the Town.

And a picnic area still has to be completed.

She says all this was possible through funds received from Nunatsiavut Government, Innovation/Trade and Rural Development and ACOA.

The project employed a Foreman and seven labourers.

That’s why the Labrador School Board has the breakfast or “Kids Eat Smart” Program.

Sandra Watts is in charge of this program at the Lake Melville School in North West River.

She believes that there is a relationship between how well the children perform in class and hunger.

And if there is too much time between meals the concentration abilities of a child could be affected.

And she believes educational facilities should ensure that the basic requirement of food is first and foremost.

Watts says on Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s and Thursday’s they serve 105 students healthy snacks such as cereal and milk, fruit, juice and cookies.

There are 5 volunteers and some staff members who prepare and plan the program.

The public health nurse does the menu.

The NWR Volunteer Group “Iliget” has been funding the program for the last three years.

Last year they provided $8,000.00 to the program.

The Committee also holds different fundraising activities and raised almost $4,000 last year.
