We won't survive if Romney wins
Romney has promised to not make climate change a priority if he wins the White House. Our oceans have changed with the absorption of fossil fuel pollution. The very life of the ocean is threatened with organisms unable to make shells and skeletal systems. Plankton are responsible for most of our oxygen, but they are dying. We need real leadership to regulate polluters. What’s with Republican presidents putting our...

Women in Business: A healer’s musical hands
On a summer day, the sound of musical instruments echoes across Rezanof Drive and the Kodiak High School parking lot. Follow the sound, and you won’t be led to the high school’s band room or a music studio; you’ll end up in the office of Dr. Laura Creighton. Creighton, the sole chiropractor listed in the Kodiak phone book, lets her healing hands occasionally roam across a marimba, a xylophone-like instrument that ...

Another Day in Paradise: Following the right path
We are follower people. It’s in our nature. And once we find a path, we follow it. If it gets us where we are going, we rejoice. If it leads us astray, we look back and talk about how much promise that trail had. It looked so good. It appeared to be going where we wanted it to. And even though it didn’t get us where we expected to be or where we wanted to go, we will use it again, because it is now a familiar trai...

Women in Business: Myrick balances time between two jobs
Adelia Myrick works in two different fields — one is dominated by men and the other is dominated by women. Myrick spends most of the year working at Kodiak College as the adult basic education coordinator, but she spends her summers working as a fisherman at a set net site. Myrick started fishing at a young age with her family in Kodiak. She knew she wanted to keep fishing in the summer months after she graduated...

High School football picks: Final week of high school football
The final week of high school football in Alaska is upon us. Last week, Eielson and Soldotna each won state titles in the small and medium school classifications.

The only game I missed on was South Anchorage’s victory over previously undefeated Palmer in a large-school semifi...

Kodiak real estate agent featured in new TV show

Now, one new TV series is turning a lens on an unusual subject — Alaska’s real estate agents. “It’s nothing like a ‘Gold Rush’ type of show or even a ‘Deadliest Catch.’ It’s something more relatable,” said Fay Yu, executive producer of “Selling Alaska”, which debuts Sunday on Destination America (GCI Channel ...
