In this week’s The Orcadian

This week’s edition of The Orcadian is now in shops and is available online here.

On the front page, we report that a former Orkney school janitor, whose illicit online chats with young teenage girls were exposed by a vigilante group, has avoided a jail stint.

Andrew Charles Page is no longer in his job at Evie Primary School, and ended up in emergency accommodation after his offending was discovered.

More inside:

• Is ferry replacement still ‘on the radar’ of the government?
• ‘Hats off’ to health staff amid capacity crisis.
• Cops crack down on antisocial driving.
• ‘Gaan the Distance’ goes all the way for Ukrainians.
• Fish farm consolidation plans revealed.
• Four decades of phenomenal folk music.

In this month’s Peedie Orcadian, you can read all about a secret art project set to raise funds for CLAN Cancer Support.
