The sun may
be peeking in and out of the clouds this fall in Kodiak, but that doesn't
matter to dishes pointed at communication satellite orbiting above the equator.
This time of year, just as in the spring, the sun moves behind the satellites
and disrupts the reception of their signal.
GCI, which
offers long distance, cable TV and other communication services that depend on
satellite communications, says the disruptions will not affect services
delivered by fiber optic cable or land-based microwave relay.
When cable
TV outages happen, viewers will see a slow degradation of their signal,
followed by several minutes of total disruption. It will then slowly clear.
The sun
outages will occur at various times in the afternoon for the next three weeks,
and will vary in length.

Students
and staff presented about a half hour of videos expressing the need for a new
high school in Kodiak at Monday night’s school board meeting.
The student
video has very little dialog, but that didn’t stop the students from silently
asking questions written on pieces of paper, like “Why am I always late for
class?”
See part one of the student video here. The other two parts can be found on the same YouTube page. The administration video is here .

A young
scientist in Alberta has discovered a new species of dinosaur, and his mother
here in Kodiak couldn't be prouder. Nick
Longrich, a 1994 graduate of Kodiak High School who just got his doctorate in
paleontology earlier this year, discovered the new meat-eater not in some dusty
dry river basin, but in parts on a shelf of a museum. He's the son of Tim and Mary Jane Longrich.

The Kodiak
City Council last week approved the 23-thousand dollar purchase of device that
would allow work crews to find water main leaks with pinpoint accuracy. Given
the age of the city's water system, the "Correlator" could pay for itself in no
time. Jay Barrett spoke with Public Works Director Mark Kozak about the device.
