Few attend runway extension project meeting
In 2007, Kodiak residents loudly protested a plan to extend Kodiak State Airport toward the mouth of the Buskin River. On Thursday evening, with the plan modified to avoid the Buskin, only a half-dozen people showed up to a new meeting with the Federal Aviation Administration. “It’s a remarkable improvement over the first meeting that we had,” said Pat Holmes, one of a handful of Kodiakans who testified in the Kod...

Fish Factor: Halibut season gets off to slow start
It was unusually quiet along the waterfront as the halibut fishery got under way on Saturday. Most of the first fish landed goes to Homer, Kodiak and Petersburg, but processors there said there wasn’t “the usual chatter” and none said they had a feel for what’s going to happen yet with prices. Lots of halibut remains in the freezers, and some major processors reportedly unloaded the high-priced fish at a loss las...

KDM editorial: DNR's new program raises price of guiding
Fishery catch share programs have gutted the number of boats on Kodiak's waterfront, and the state of Alaska is about to do the same thing to commercial hunting. House Bill 158, under consideration by the Alaska Legislature, would allow the Department of Natural Resources to implement a program that limits the number of hunting guides on state land. In effect, if not name, it's catch shares ashore. DNR is acting w...
