The U.S. Air Force has agreed to pay more than $200 thousand in fines for mismanaging hazardous waste on Shemya Island in the Western Aleutians; access to safe and legal abortions in Alaska will likely remain, but the overturning of Roe v. Wade could open the door to attempts to restrict that access; and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers hosts a training for identifying and responding to unexploded ordnance.
Theo Greenly reports from the Aleutians as a Report for America corps member. He got his start in public radio at KCRW in Santa Monica, California, and has produced radio stories and podcasts for stations around the country.
