Month: April 2010

Locals took part in the Annual Community Clean-Up earlier this month. The event was started over decades ago and is going on strong thanks to funding from grant and donations and dedicated Wrangellites. KSTK's Tony Gorman went around town to see how the event went and filed this report.

The Wrangell School Board's decision not to fill a teaching position drew a crowd at Evergreen Elementary School Monday afternoon. KSTK's Tony Gorman attended a special meeting concerning the issue and filed this report.

Wrangellites didn't have to go to Sitka to get their hands on fresh herring eggs. A fishing vessel from the area recently made a stop in Wrangell to share its harvest from this year's herring sac roe fishery. The event was made possible by SEARHC Traditional Foods. KSTK's Tony Gorman has more.

The City and Borough of Wrangell will be expanding within the next year.

The bill was sponsored by Wrangell Representative Peggy Wilson. KSTK's Tony Gorman has more.

Last week, the Wrangell Assembly threw its support toward two bills that could affect the future of Wrangell and the Southeast. KSTK's Tony Gorman has more.
