Last month, one of Alaska's most accomplished author and travelers share some of his experiences with Wrangell. Nick Jans always wanted to go Alaska for the experience and its wonderful attributes. As the son of a diplomat, he had only spent one year in the states before entering junior high school. Jans jumped at the opportunity to go Alaska after he graduated from college. He stared his Alaska experience by working for a big game guide and managing a trading post before miving to Ambler to teach English to Eskimo children. He lasted 25 years in Ambler before moving to Juneau. His works have been featured in numerous magazines and his books have been nationally recognized. KSTK's Tony Gorman had a chance to sit down with him to talk about his latest book that he presented in Wrangell.

The Wrangell Energy Committee was relieved of its duties during last week's Wrangell Assembly meeting. The committee had been at the forefront of many energy issues in Southeast Alaska for the past two years. KSTK's Tony Gorman reports.

The Wrangell Chamber of Commerce will host the 2010 King Salmon Derby according to plan. While the organization is able to put on the Derby, other Wrangell events like the Fourth of July Celebration and Harvest Fest are in limbo due to the Chamber's recent financial situation. KSTK's Tony Gorman has more.

Even though they are unavailable in the Wrangell Ranger District, Wrangellites are not responding well to the release of this year's motor vehicle use maps. Many are worried that some roads will be restricted to certain vehicles. Others think that some roads will be closed all together. KSTK's Tony Gorman has more.

At first, it sounded like a good idea. But now, it might not even happen. Wrangell and Petersburg officials had hope to meet with the Angoon City Council over regional energy issues. As KSTK's Tony Gorman reports, poor communication among the three communities may have put those plans on the shelf.
