Kodiak life: Better than Hollywood

What did you think about Crab Fest?

Rebounding after crisis mode

Crab Fest was a great measure of the feel of our community and where it stands in this phase of the ongoing worldwide pandemic. The festival, with all its vendors and volunteers working booths, serving food and holding a multitude of events, felt like a mark of resilience. I saw and hugged friends I had not seen in many months. With over 43% of the population fully vaccinated (over 5,900 people) in Kodiak as of the writing of this article, most people are beginning to feel safe in social settings once again. This community is slowly bouncing back from the restrictions on social gatherings caused by the worldwide COVID pandemic.

Strong support for Kodiak College JumpStart funding

With nonprofit funding still determined at the borough level, several community members spoke out in support of Kodiak College and education in general at Thursday’s Kodiak Island Borough Assembly meeting. The assembly has yet to adopt the fiscal year 2022 budget; the most recent borough manager’s draft budget shows zero allocations for nonprofits, including Kodiak College and Kodiak Public Library. The Kodiak JumpStart program was the center star in the show of support. The program provides lower tuition costs at $100 a credit, up to six credit hours, for first-time college fall freshmen, and $100, up to six credits, for high school students in dual-enrollment programs.
