    McAdams and Miller
    SITKA, ALASKA (2010-09-02) Democratic Senate candidate (and Sitka Mayor) Scott McAdams had his first nationally televised interview on Wednesday night, with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. In it, he called Republican Joe Miller "exactly the wrong person for Alaska." (KCAW has requested an interview with the Miller campaign.) In a separate interview McAdams told KCAW that by calling for less involvement from the federal government, Miller is showing that he doesn’t support one third of the Alaskan economy.

    SITKA, ALASKA (2010-09-01) The Hames Center task force says the bond package going before local voters next month puts buying the facility “within the realm of possibility.” In a presentation to the Sitka Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, task force members said that allowing the center to close when its lease expired at the end of October would send the wrong message about where the community was going.

    McAdams, Miller.
    SITKA, ALASKA (2010-09-01) The first poll taken after Senator Lisa Murkowski conceded the Republican senate primary to Joe Miller shows a tightening race between Miller and Democratic candidate Scott McAdams. Since the August 24th primary, McAdams has focused on Miller as his opponent. KCAW’s Ed Ronco spoke to McAdams a few hours before Murkowski’s concession about the campaign ahead.

    The cubs were marked in July.
    SITKA, ALASKA (2010-08-31) Three brown bear cubs captured in Sitka this August will remain here indefinitely. Officials with the Alaska Department of Fish & Game report that several out-of-state zoos initially interested in the cubs have found bears elsewhere. Sitka’s Fortress of the Bear is making arrangements with the state to house the bears permanently if no other homes are found.
