Month: June 2008

The Wrangell Medical Center has recently gone digital for x-rays, mammograms, and ultrasounds. This means a faster turnaround time in getting results, higher resolution for images, and most importantly, better patient care.

The borough assembly of Wrangell has not signed a confidentiality and non-circumvention agreement with Cascade Creek LLC. But the possibility of it happening is still there.

With school out and summer almost here, Wrangell's parks and rec department has recently started up the kids summer rec program and adult summer softball league. But, it's still not too late to register for either.

The commercial Dungeness crab fishery in southeast starts this Sunday, June 15. In the last few years, the Stikine flats has been one of the biggest producers of Dungeness crab and the Department of Fish and Game is expecting the same this year.

Duke Moscrip is one individual responsible for making Stikine River king salmon part of the Seattle dining experience. His six restaurants in the Puget Sound area, all named Dukes ChowderHouse, feature Stikine kings in dishes like blueberry and goat cheese salmon and pan-seared wild salmon.

Recently, Moscrip and a few of his staff spent some time in Wrangell getting education on how Stikine kings are caught and processed.
