On this week's episode with host Davis Hovey, a suspect was arrested in connection to a string of break-ins this week, a woman suffers non-lethal injuries after a bear attack, what to do about bears in the Kodiak Island Borough landfill, nine candidates file for open seats on the Borough Assembly, and Ouzinkie is installing a new solar array.
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 woman, who identified herself on social media as Katelynn Lane, was walking her dog on Panamaroff Creek Drive when she encountered a sow and her two cubs, according to ADF&G.
After yesterday’s filing deadline passed, nine candidates are on the October election ballot running for Kodiak Island Borough Assembly seats. Only two filed for City Council seats.
In Ouzinkie, a new solar array and battery system is coming together that’s expected to slash diesel use, lower energy bills and make the local microgrid that serves roughly 150 residents more reliable.
