Unalaska, AK – Unalaskans are dealing with an unusual issue: bald eagle attacks.

KUCB's Anne Hillman says the wildlife biologists are trying to devise a solution.

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.

Unalaska, AK – The Museum of the Aleutians was one of 23 institutions to receive an Alaska State museum grant. The grant amounted to $5,000, and it's meant to help the Museum of the Aleutians buy new equipment.

Executive Director Zoya Johnson says that the museum will spend the grant money on a new laminating machine, which should help bring down printing costs.

"This kind of in-house printing ability will allow us to save tends of thousands of dollars," says Johnson. "Every time we work on our exhibits, it costs us about $5,000 to send our materials to Anchorage and have them sent back. Being able to do this right here in Unalaska spares us the worry whether the materials will be sent back and in time for our upcoming exhibit."

Unalaska, AK – The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is looking into the bald eagle problem in Unalaska.

A Fish & Wildlife biologist plans on coming to town to investigate the nests this week. Fish & Wildlife spokesperson Bruce Woods says that landowners can remove nests if they apply for special permits.
