Alaska: Salmon
nose deep into Alaska ecosystems by Ned Rozell - During a
good year in Bristol Bay, a surge of more than 100 million pounds
of sockeye salmon fights its way upstream, spawns, and dies.
In Bristol Bay and elsewhere in Alaska, this incredible pulse
of salmon carcasses enriches streams and rivers and makes young
salmon hardier.
That's the finding of scientists
who study Alaska streams and rivers that are teeming with salmon.
Aquatic ecologist Mark Wipfli of the University of Alaska Fairbanks'
Institute of Arctic Biology is one of those scientists who pull
on rubber boots to find the ways that salmon enhance the waters
of their birth and the surrounding forests. - More...

Ketchikan Columnist
 Dave
Kiffer: It's
a guilt thing - Like many other locals I have been somewhat
amused (and a whole lot aghast) at the proliferation of jewelry
stores in Ketchikan's Combat Shopping Zone over the last few
years. We've always had a few local jewelry stores meeting the
needs of locals and visitors but is there any logical explanation
for 43 purveyors of fine gem stones to be located in downtown
Ketchikan each summer?
You hear of a lot of odd explanations
such as:
"People buy jewelry on
vacation."
Funny, I haven't seen Zsa Zsa
Gabor or Liz Taylor getting off the boats lately. Most of the
people I see wandering around the streets carrying their "shopping"
maps don't seem all that well off (which explains why they are
drawn like moths to "70 percent off," "going out
of business" and "your lucky cabin number" sales).
Maybe that's why "loose" diamonds are so popular -
most of the shoppers can't afford the settings as well. - More...
