Day:309, Words:309

Sunday in Øksfjord and the lake is slowly freezing over and the days are quickly becomming shorter.

It's time to take a look at the activities in Alta. The Norwegian princess, Mette-Marit is coming to Alta in February to open the new church. The impressive 'Nordlys Cathederal' has been an long term project drowned in controversy. The biggest boo boo was when it was admitted that the church was being built in the wrong place, and the construction was temporarily brought to a halt. On the opening day, after Mette-Marit cuts the ribbon, the service will be simulcast on the airwaves via NRK radio. There is also a possibility that NRK TV will broadcast the event.

Last night, police were called to the night spot 'City Scene' after security could not control a guest, who was arrested for causing a disturbance at around 3am.

A man in his 40s was helping himself to food from a supermarket and leaving without paying last night at 11pm. He was acting in a threatening manner according to staff, before leaving the shop with his upaid goods. The police were called and promptly arrested the gentleman.

On Friday afternoon, a teenager called police after losing control of his vehicle and hitting a pedestrian. The driver had slid down a hill and hit a young teenage boy, who was unharmed. Witnesses at the scene said that the car was travelling at a low speed. It's good to see the youth of today behaving and doing the right thing.

It appears though that not all young folk are equally responsible. The Alta paper reports that a couple of others, who also experienced some car trouble, chose not to call police. The car drove off the road, before the driver and passenger escaped the scene. Police later tracked down the pair and issued a blood test.
