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/

A pair of Kodiak runners who have finished at the top of the cross-country races all season pushed each other to a decisive win at the State Cross Country Championships held Saturday at Bartlett High School. Sophomore Levi Thomet and Senior Cole Christiansen crushed the best runners in the state, finishing first-and-second by a margin of 23- and 16-seconds respectively. Thomet had a state-championship-winning time of 16-minutes 11-seconds, with Christiansen right behind at 16:18.
Though they are teammates, they are competitors, too. Thomet said he was a little panicky making sure Christiansen didn’t get away from him as the two swapped the lead over the 5-kilometer course.
Kodiak’s Julian McCarthy was seventh with a time of 16-minutes 52-seconds, Levi Fried was 23rd at 17:32 and Clayton Hannah was 34th at 17-47. Overall, Kodiak was third in the team standings, 10 points behind champion West Valley. Service was second, Kenai fourth and Colony fifth.
Kodiak’s three girls at the race, Leah Cawthorn, Adriane Horn, and Zoe Bigley, finished 18th, 31st and 34th, respectively. The race was won by Kenai sophomore Allie Ostrander with a time of 18-minutes 46-seconds. Wasilla won the team title, followed by West Anchorage, East Anchorage, Lathrop and Service.

Chiniak residents got an unexpected visitor last week when an adult male humpback washed up on the beach across from Road’s End restaurant. Bree Witteveen is a marine mammal specialist and assistant professor at the Kodiak Seafood and Marine Science Center on Near Island; she said she received two calls about the whale.
“Yeah, I got a call about it on Wednesday afternoon from one of the loggers that drives that road a lot and he said he saw a whale on the beach," she said. "And later in the day I got a second report of the whale that was out there and this report said there was a lot of blood in the water which made me believe it was a rather fresh carcass.”
Witteveen made it out to Chiniak on Thursday and determined the whale was the victim of a killer whale attack.

The Kodiak High School Bears football team closed the regular season on a high note, with a 20-14 win over the Skyview Panthers in Soldotna Sunday. The win gives the Bears a 3-and-2 record in the Northern Lights Conference and the third seed in the medium school play offs. Kodiak will be traveling back to Soldotna to play the So-Hi Stars next Saturday. The Bears finish the season 4-and-4 over all.
In the other play off matchup, Homer, which finished second in the NLC, travels to play Southeast Conference champ Thunder Mountain on Friday at 7 p.m.
On Sunday, the Bears relied on defense and special teams to put points on the board, starting with the opening kick-off, which was run back for a touchdown. Skyview took a 14-6 lead in the second period, but on the ensuing kickoff, the Bears special teams once again ran it back for a touchdown for a 14-12 halftime lead. An interception return for a TD at the beginning of the fourth period sealed the Kodiak win.

On August 1st a vandal set fire to the Baranof Park ice rink, damaging a significant portion of the structure and rendering it unusable. While the arsonist has yet to be caught, the Kodiak City Council took the first step in rehabilitating the rink during its regular meeting last night. City Manager Aimée Kniaziowski urged the council to approve a resolution awarding a construction contract to begin making necessary repairs.

Local thespians will debut a new play tonight called "Rounding Third," a comedy written by Richard Dresser and directed by local theater enthusiast Andrew Ott. Ott said the play, which follows the relationship of two men coaching Little League, is one he came across some time ago.
“I read the script one time maybe five years ago and I could identify with both characters that were in the show," Ott said. "I was thinking, gosh this reminds me of when I was a kid in Little League and or now as a dad coaching in Little League and I thought wow this would be cool to put on or at least to do".
Wes Hanna and Jared Griffin star in the play, in fact the duo are the only two characters in the play, and opposite ones at that.
