This week we hear about the Kodiak History Museum's celebration of its 70th anniversary with a time capsule, an internationally successful comedy duo from the Philippines visited Kodiak for a performance, one of the bills signed by Gov. Mike Dunleavy promotes the cottage food industry in Alaska, state fire officials are distributing and installing new smoke and carbon monoxide alarms across the state, and the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly is looking to update its regulations on Accessory Dwelling Units or ADUs.
Super Tekla and Donita Nose have been all over the world, but now they're in Alaska for the first time to perform for the diaspora here. The Kodiak show starts Friday at 7 p.m.
Staff are soliciting submissions for a time capsule to mark the museum's platinum anniversary until Sept. 16. Entries so far include drawings, stickers, photos, and magazines. The capsule will be sealed for at least 30 years and stored in the museum's floorboards.
Fire officials across Alaska are looking to improve fire and fume safety by distributing and installing new smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. According to an email from the Alaska State Fire Marshal’s Office, they’re prioritizing residences with elders, in-home childcare facilities, individuals with disabilities, or low-income households.
Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are small residences that can be attached to an existing home or stand alone on the same lot as another unit. Advocates say they can add to the available housing stock.
