The Dillingham High School gym hummed with activity Saturday. Health care workers sat at tables spread across the room, as people waited for a dose of the Moderna vaccine.

It was Dillingham’s second weekend clinic, and the first since the Bristol Bay Area Health Corporation opened the vaccine clinic to anyone over the age of 18.
Patricia Owens was among a group waiting patiently on the gym s hard plastic bleachers. She had just received her second shot of the two-step vaccine.
Picks and pans for 2020 in Alaska s seafood industry January 7th |
This year marks the 30th year that the weekly Fish Factor column has appeared in newspapers across Alaska and nationally. Every year it features picks and pans for Alaska s seafood industry a no-holds-barred look back at some of the year s best and worst fishing highlights, and my choice for the biggest fish story of the year. Here are the choices for 2020, in no particular order:
Best little known fish fact: Alaska s commercial fisheries division also pays for the management of subsistence and personal use fisheries.
Biggest fishing tragedy: The loss of five fishermen aboard the Scandies Rose that sank southwest of Kodiak.

These quarantine quarters are a mix of unused housing, new builds, and empty office spaces. It depends on what the village has available.
The Native Village of Hooper Bay, one of the biggest communities in the Y-K Delta at 1,300 residents, found that it had three apartments sitting unused, so the tribe offered them up as quarantine housing. The apartments are fully equipped with furniture and food, and they’ve even provided for potential boredom: one apartment has board games, and the other two have DVD players. Tribal Administrator Paula Hill said that they have really sought to encourage people to use them, especially since an Elder died after contracting the virus in neighboring Chevak.
