If you’re walking around Unalaska, it’s almost impossible not to find stuff left over from World War II. Usually, it’s just building material or maybe the occasional shell. But what happens if you encounter something explosive?

KUCB’s Alexandra Gutierrez has this story about the recent discovery of a grenade and how public safety is handling it.

It might not be the end of The Dutch Harbor Fisherman after all.

Last week, the Calista Corporation put out a statement that they were liquidating Alaska Newspapers, Inc. a publisher of a handful of rural weeklies across the state. But since making that announcement, the Native corporation has started to receive offers for ANI assets.

“The fact that we have some sole proprietors who are interested in picking up perhaps individual papers or sets of papers  now coming forward is very exciting to us,” says Margaret Nelson, ANI’s president and publisher.

The Dutch Harbor Fisherman and five other rural newspapers are scheduled to make their final run on August 31.

The Calista Native Corporation announced on Friday that Alaska Newspapers Incorporated will be shutting down its printing press this summer for financial reasons. According to a press release, President and CEO Andrew Guy states that as "a responsibility to our 12 thousand shareholders, we had to take a hard look at the subsidiary and make a tough decision." On top of the Fisherman, the Tundra Drums, Arctic Sounder, Bristol Bay Times, Cordova Times, Seward Phoenix Log and First Alaskans magazine will also be closing up.

Multiple piles of commercial fishing net caught fire Saturday evening near the Unalaska spit dock, resulting in a significant amount of damage.

The fire started around 8pm at the Pacific Stevedoring storage area, and the Unalaska Fire Department was able to contain and extinguish the fire within an hour. No injuries were reported, but fishing vessels that keep their gear on the property could suffer substantial financial losses. Net bundles in storage spaces used by the Northern Jaeger and Ocean Rover were totally destroyed.

A small earthquake hit just 13 miles from Unalaska yesterday afternoon.

The quake only had a magnitude of 3.5, but it was felt in the community due to its proximity to town. The Unalaska Department of Public Safety says that there have been no injury or damage reports.

According to the Alaska Earthquake Information Center, the earthquake struck at 4:45pm, and its center was at a depth of 49 miles.

The sockeye salmon run is winding down at Wislow.

Over the past three days, just over 800 salmon passed through the weir at McLees Lake. Last week, reds were coming in at a rate of roughly 1,500 per day. That bring the sockeye season to a somewhat early end.

 “The season usually lasts another week at least,” say Derek Hildreth, a fisheries biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Usually, the Dutch Harbor spit dock is lined with nothing but fishing vessels. This week, a veritable fleet of sailing yachts was moored there. KUCB’s Alexandra Gutierrez finds out what they were doing.
