Talk of Southeast Alaska is a call-in radio program about regional issues faced by folks in all our listening communities. In this episode, we learned navigating consent as a Parent/Caregiver. The conversation was moderated by Deanna Moore from Sitkans Against Family Violence, and the panelists were Lauren Havens, former School Program Coordinator, SAFV, and Darby Osborne, Sitka High School, Peer Educator for Healthy Relationships.
Hosted by Becky Meiers, and produced by Peter Vu, Talk of Southeast Alaska is one of the results of 2019’s Translatorpalooza tour. We developed this show as a result of our meetings with listeners throughout our broadcast area. Over and over, folks in each community expressed the need to hear from each other they wanted to hear how people throughout our region were dealing with the issues they were dealing with. They wanted to hear stories from other folks in small communities along the coast.
WELCOME HOME: Homebuyer program celebrates latest project
For most homebuyers, the move to a new house is marked by the removal of a “for sale” sign and little fanfare. However, for first-time homebuyers Emmalee Mitchell and Daniel Bautista, their move was heralded by a ribbon cutting the celebration of a home more than a year in the making.
The house, located at 925 Eighth St., is the second home built as part of the Lincoln Central Neighborhood Homebuyer Program. Its completion was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house on Thursday.
Mitchell and Bautista expect to close the deal today, and Mitchell said they were excited to see the completed house.
