Another Day in Paradise: Learning about life
We were visiting our oldest son, the Corps Officer in Middlesboro, Ky. The chocolate lab we have in Kodiak was a gift to him seven-plus years ago.

Tustumena repairs slower than expected
The 50-year-old ferry Tustumena is in worse shape than originally thought, and southwest Alaska’s ferry schedule will suffer as a result.

Since the shipyard opened in 2009, it has been kept in the black with regular transfers from the city's harbor fund, nor...

Waves will wash across the lobby of the new Kodiak High School, and bears will stalk its halls. On Monday night, the Kodiak Island Borough School District approved 10 artists’ proposals for the Kodiak High School expansion and renovation project. An 11th option remained blank. The 10 artists include well-known Kodiak names like Alf Pryor, Bruce Nelson and Mark Witteveen, but some off-island names will also be feat...
