We're happy to announce we're bringing eTown back to the Kodiak airwaves after many, many years of being without and, in keeping with our desire to give you more music on HD2 than talk, we're going to test it out Sunday nights at 6pm on HD2. If you're a Zorba fan it's now only going to be heard earlier in the day on HD3 (please call us if you're a fan...we'd love some feedback on that particular show). This is probably going to be in the regular lineup on our new station so please, if you're a fan of eTown, let us know and let us know what day and time you think it'd be best heard. This week's show is a goodie---Solas and Terry Allen are the guests. Check out more at http://www.etown.org/

Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak is receiving a heroism award Thursday at an event in New York City. Six current members and a former commander are scheduled to be in attendance at the 2012 Coast Guard Foundation’s 32nd annual salute to the service.
Foundation president Anne Brengle says the Air Station is being honored for a very busy day on January 24th of this year, when crews were executing two rescues at the same time.
First, the fishing vessel Kimberly went aground in Portage Bay in hurricane force winds, 20-foot seas, snow and heavy icing. Conditions were so bad, the crew was forced to spend the night on the beach because the Coast Guard Jayhawk could not land.
When they tried again in the morning, the helicopter was diverted when word came in of a fishing boat sinking near Sitkinak Island. The seven members of the fishing vessel Heritage had abandoned ship and some were in the water. The Jayhawk hoisted two crewmen and transferred them back to Kodiak for medical help, while the other five were picked up by the Good Samaritan vessel Tuxendi. Meanwhile, the crewmen from the Kimberly were rescued and brought back to Kodiak.
Four Coast Guard helicopters, two airplanes, plus the good Samaritan completed the rescues.
The Coast Guard Foundation is awarding six members of the group at the New York City event on Thursday, as well as the former commanding officer of the air station, Captain Bill Deal. The crewmen are Josh Fitzgerald, Jason Evans, John Filipowicz, Rachid Arnick, Clark Patterson, and Joshua Shaffer.

For five days starting Tuesday, it’s National Wildlife Refuge Week.
Here on the island, the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge is a major landholder, and its manager, Gary Wheeler, would like residents to be aware that it has more to offer than just the relatively new visitor center near the ferry dock.

At Thursday night’s Kodiak Island Borough Assembly meeting considerable time was devoted to a pair of items regarding potential conflicts of interest in general, and about Assemblywoman Chris Lynch’s contract with the borough in particular.
Just days before the recent municipal election, an accusation of conflict was brought up at an assembly work session, but it did not impede Lynch’s re-election last Tuesday.
The issue at hand is that Lynch, through her company Kodiak Construction Services, provides engineering consultation to borough projects, such as the land fill expansion, while serving as a member of the assembly. Her colleague, Mel Stephens, sought to have an ordinance introduced that would eliminate assemblymembers or the Mayor from working for the borough

The results of a worldwide survey conducted by the makers of Gore-Tex fabric revealed what local hunters have always known: Kodiak is one of the best places for hunting, and the weather can be challenging.
Tim Dennis is the marketing leader for W. L. Gore Associates, the company behind the survey.
“It was a pretty simple survey. We asked respondents to share their opinions of the top locations with the worst conditions, but just as important was the best hunting," Dennis said."And each location was rated on a scale of one to 10 across several categories: the quality of the game, the quantity of animals, their success rates, the scenery and amenities for hunters.”
Dennis said the goal behind the survey was to show hunters worldwide that with the right gear they can hunt and recreate anywhere.
