A local artist is working to erect a fishing memorial in Unalaska; subsistence fishermen plead with the state to restrict salmon fishing near the Alaska Peninsula; and Unalaska’s Summer Artisan Market is this Saturday.
Laurelin Kruse is a writer and radio producer from rural Colorado. She has a BA in American Studies from Yale, and she learned radio at the Transom Story Workshop in Massachusetts, where she reported stories for the local public radio station. Kruse is excited to spend the summer roaming the tundra and doing stories for the Unalaska community.
