         The Kodiak High Volleyball team dropped a pair of close conference matches to the Wasilla Warriors this past weekend up on the mainland.

Kodiak Coach Rick Carman says it was disappointing to start the season by dropping two matches, but he felt like the team improved with each game.

Volleyball takes on Kenai this coming weekend in its first home matches of the year.

            The Kodiak High School Bears continued their winning ways Saturday with a close 19-to-14 away game victory over the Kenai Kardinals.

            The Bears and the Kards traded touchdowns and penalties all day, with Kodiak scoring three TDs but only one point-after.

            Today at 5 p.m. is the deadline for running for any Kodiak Island Borough office.

            According to the clerk's office only one person has so far signed up for the three open seats on the assembly. That's Judy Fulp.

             Two incumbents have signed up to run for the pair of two-year seats on the school board - Jeff Stephan and Peggy Rauwolf. There is also a one-year seat available.

            Mike Dolph is running for re-election to Fire Protection Area Number One board.

            There are a dozen seats with no candidates, and once again the filing deadline is at 5 o'clock this evening.

          The only universal reaction on the streets of Kodiak appears to be surprise. Other than that, Kodiak voters are mixed on whether or not Palin was a wise choice for the McCain campaign. 

          That's Brian Chandler, a cook at the Channelside Chowderhouse, local Republican Party head Bob Brodie, City Councilman Terry Haines, Don Roberts and Andrea Anderson talking about John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate.
