Kodiak groups look for Pick Click Give donations
The annual Pick. Click. Give. campaign is open, and more than a dozen Kodiak nonprofits are participating.

Island Flavor: A philosophy of goodness at Henry’s Great Alaskan Restaurant
I catch a lot of flack in my line of work. Not just from colleagues, or from the general readership, or even from food service workers. Most of it comes from my own family. And not simply extended family who never understood my craft. (“Writer, eh?

Sometimes I wonder if the world is against me. If I make plans to go hiking on my next day off, I do so knowing that no matter what the forecast says, when I roll out of bed that day it will probably be raining sideways and blowing sixty knots. Or that nice new powder snow that would be fun to learn to cross-country ski on has fell victim to a rise in temperatures long enough to absorb enough rain that when the bo...

16-year-old wins third big buck title
Stephanie Blondin defended her title and took home her third win in this year’s Eric Lochman Big Buck Contest. “I like that a lot of guys don’t think a girl can win,” Blondin said. The 16-year-old took first place for her buck in 2006 and again in 2012. Blondin grew up hunting in Larsen Bay with her family. Living in a village gives her plenty of time to practice, and plenty of time to develop secret hunting spots...
