33 KODIAK, Alaska – In early March, instructors at the Coast Guard North Pacific Regional Fisheries Training Center (NPRFTC) prepared crewmembers of the Coast Guard Cutter Stratton to safeguard Alaska’s living marine resources.
Commissioned in 1995 in Kodiak, the personnel at the NPRFTC provide instruction to surface and aviation law enforcement crews, command personnel and supporting staff to promote maritime safety, protect valuable resources, and maintain a level playing field for the fisheries throughout Alaska, which are considered to be the most abundant and economically significant waters in the U.S.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), in 2018, the Alaskan fishing fleet provided 58% of the stock to the U.S. fisheries and seafood industry.

Though the just-completed national election featured many close contests and intrigue that ran well past the vote-counting, this spring’s local elections won’t bring anywhere near that level of excitement to Kewanee voters.
Kewaneeans this spring will be asked to vote in a city council election, two school board elections and a park district election on April 6 but in only one of those contests will there be an actual contest between multiple candidates.
