Unalaska, AK – Today most people have probably never heard of Amchitka - it's just an unpopulated island at the end of Alaska's Aleutian Chain. But in the 1970s, it was a cause.

Jim Bohlen was a major leader in this anti-nuclear campaign and became a founder of Greenpeace. He died this week at age
84. Alexandra Gutierrez tells the story of his trip out to Amchitka as part of the first Greenpeace mission.

Unalaska, AK – Two months after a major drug sweep, Public Safety is still making arrests based on the three investigations conducted this spring.

On Thursday, Public Safety arrested Juliann Tucker, 46, on an outstanding warrant for drug-related charges. She was implicated in drug sales and distribution during an investigation that started in March.

Last week, officers also arrested William Tellman, 21, for misconduct involving a controlled substance and charged him with a felony. An extended investigation had revealed that Tellman provided marijuana to a minor. According to the criminal complaint, a camera seized in April contained photos of Tellman inhaling a substance from a "home made type of gas masks with a metal smoking pipe attached to the mouth piece of the mask" and sharing the substance with an individual 15 years of age.
