Today we start with some news from the Alta river. A 10 kg salmon was caught by a proud fisherman, who was envisaging a scrumptious dinner. While preparing the fish, two halves of a sausage popped out of the stomach. It appears that even the fish are struggling to obtain fresh seafood these days. The biggest catch for June so far was a 15.3 kg whopper on the 16th. Yesterday Knut from Detsika landed one that weighed in at 13.5 kg.

As the school year winds down, there is still uncertainty regarding the Nuvsvåg schooling crisis. When the school was ordered to close, there were immediate rumours and announcements of children, parents and teachers moving here and there or staying put, selling everything or even considering home schooling. A new meeting on Friday will investigate the legality of the decision. An eleventh hour reversal of the initial decision may save the school but the emotional scarring may be irreversable.

It appears that saving money has a price that won't be able to be paid back!!
