The main
reason the United States Government counts its population every 10 years is to
determine how many representatives to Congress each area gets. With a
population around 600,000, the state of Alaska only gets one congressman. Every
state gets two senators, no matter the population. The state of Alaska uses the
census information in the same way: to determine the areas our state house and
senate members will represent.
As Senate
President, Gary Stevens is one of the people who get to appoint one of five
representatives to the reapportionment board, which will decide the legislative
boundaries for the next 10 years. His selection is Kodiak realtor Bob Brodie,
who acknowledges the position is sensitive, the job important, and sometimes
controversial.

You've no
doubt heard the stories of crab fishermen who ripped up $100 dollar bills just
because they could. Or the one about the guy who paid cash for a new shiny
tricked-out pickup and was so drunk he forgot he'd bought it.
Yes, those
are true stories.
If you're
into good fishing stories about the wild and amazing days of Kodiak's King crab
fishery, you'll be happy to learn that the popular radio series about the
fishery is about to begin another round of new programs.
The award-winning
program "When Crab Was King: An Oral History of the Kodiak King Crab Fishery" documents
the history of Kodiak's King crab fishery from its very earliest days in the
40s to its crash in the early 80s.

A Coast Guard
Air Station Kodiak HH-65 Dolphin helicopter aircrew medevac'd an Israeli crewman
off the 964-foot container ship Zim Haifa about 97 miles east of Cold Bay
Monday.
Forty-eight-year-old
Aleksey Tabachnikov reportedly injured his left hand after machinery dropped on
it. The Coast Guard received a call Sunday afternoon requesting a medevac for the
crewmember.
Due to the distance
of the Zim Haifa at the time of call, the Coast Guard recommended the vessel sail
toward Cold Bay so it would be in range of the Dolphin helicopter, which was forward deployed there.
The helicopter
crew hoisted Tabachnikov about 3 p.m. Monday and transferred him to Cold Bay where
he was transferred to medical clinic. He was reported in stable condition.
The Zim Haifa
is dry cargo Israeli-flagged vessel and is on its way from South Korea to the Panama
Canal.
Weather at the
time of the hoist included rain with a northeast wind of 10 to 25 mph.
