On this week's episode with host Davis Hovey, we hear about Invasive Species Awareness Week in Kodiak, Coast Guard Base Kodiak is getting a new child development center, funding cuts and high fuel costs hamper salmon weirs and surveys, an interview with one of 15 U.S. House of Rep. candidates Matt Schultz, and the Sun'aq Tribe is moving its preschool to the old North Star building.
Davis Hovey was first drawn to Alaska by the opportunity to work for a radio station in a remote, unique place like Nome. More than 7 years later he has spent most of his career reporting on climate change and research, fisheries, local government, Alaska Native communities and so much more.
The Coast Guard announced on May 27 that it is planning to build a new child development center on Base Kodiak that will more than double the existing center’s capacity.
The Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak is moving its child care center – and doubling its enrollment capacity. The new location is a wing of a local elementary school that closed last year due to budget cuts.
14 candidates are running against incumbent Nick Begich III for Alaska’s lone seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. One of those challengers is Democrat Matt Schultz, a pastor in Anchorage, who spoke with KMXT during his visit to Kodiak on May 21 for CrabFest.
