    Profuse blooms on a viburnum.
    SITKA, ALASKA (2010-02-08) While fierce winter weather continues to make headlines across the country, parts of Southeast Alaska are experiencing far above normal temperatures for this time of year. In fact, with blossoming salmonberry bushes, blooming bulbs, and the first bear visit of the year, Sitka is enjoying a false spring. KCAW’s Robert Woolsey recently spoke to a handful of experts about what the consequences may be of having several weeks of spring in the middle of winter:

    Volunteer Spotlight
    Judy Gangle jumped into Raven Radio enthusiastically in 2008, when she took over our afternoon folk show, “Hometown Brew”. Every Wednesday, Judy sits behind the air board, surrounded by piles of CDs, and puts together a fabulous two-hour journey into traditional and contemporary folk. Her signature contribution to this long-standing show is the inclusion of children’s music. Judy says she has a particular fondness for “Hometown Brew”, which she has listened to from day one. That’s where she was first introduced to the hammered dulcimer. She says she was blown-away by the beauty of the instrument. She called in to the station to ask what it was, and from then-on was hooked. You’d think it would be difficult putting together a weekly two-hour program, but for Judy, it’s easy. She says she finds no lack of material or inspiration. Tune in to “Hometown Brew” Wednesday, 2-4 PM.
