Japanese bombs fell on the Aleutian Islands during World War II, a historical fact most people know. One of the little known events was the balloon bomb attacks on other parts of Alaska and the Pacific Coast.

The salmon industry rushed to meet the needs for canned salmon when World War I began to escalate. This became a staple food for the soldiers in the trenches. Because of this, two short-lived canneries were built in 1918 at Washington Bay, which indents Admiralty Island on its northwest shore off Chatham Strait.

She knows who you are - you went into labor on the deck, tossed into the drunk tank, smuggled a dog onto the solarium, travel to Kake every other week, eat more ketchup than fries. She knows about you, Lavina Sargent does. She knows because she worked as a purser for the Alaska Marine Highway System for close to three decades.

April marks the 8th anniversary for all SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC) campuses going tobacco-free! On April 1, 2005, SEARHC made all of its facilities and grounds around the region tobacco-free. Asking employees, patients, and visitors not to use tobacco at the facilities or on the campuses, displays SEARHC's commitment to protecting and improving health. Since this policy took effect, people are protected from secondhand smoke and employees have been supported to quit tobacco.

When you are the executive director of an organization, obviously it would behoove you to be good at directing. But when you're directing a branch of an organization whose mission is sensitive: to provide support, education and advocacy to those experiencing mental illnesses, it also behooves you have a capacity beyond empathy, one that allows you to be sympathetic.

Speculating as I search the forest for artifacts at an abandoned place is a special treat for me. What was this piece of equipment used for? Why are those fragments of pottery at this spot? Was it a home or a bunkhouse? Instead, did a workman drop a cup or a plate under the boardwalk? What was built on these pilings?

The 7.5 earthquake on Jan. 5 of this year caused quite a commotion, with people waking in moving beds and sounds of things falling, rooms seeming to sway. Although Craig was the nearest to the quake off-shore, in Southeast it was Wrangell that took the brunt of the damage. People who subscribe to GCI's services lost their internet, telephone and television. The fiber optic cables, that made those services possible, had broken. Rumors flew around town. GCI funded free videos at City Market. What about all those football fans and the playoff games? Bars opened to provide coverage. Friends joined friends with alternate TV providers for the collegiate playoffs.

J ulianne Curry has a natural affinity to make sure things are done well, justly and in the best interest of a common good, even if that means doing them herself. As the recently appointed new executive director of the United Fisheries Association, she's given herself no choice. She has to call the shots. A lot of different kinds of shots.
