Need books please
The Ketchikan airport, along with other airports in Alaska has an ongoing book program for kids. It’s called “Read-on-the-fly”. Kids traveling can grab a book to take with them while they travel. Then they can either keep the book or turn it in at another airport in Alaska. This being said, we are in need of some kids books. Books for all ages are needed from preschool to high school. Book donations can be dropped off either at the airport or at Credit Union One. Thank you, and the traveling kids thank you also.

Notice
Situk River Federal subsistence Chinook Salmon fishery closed
Yakutat District Ranger Lee Benson, under authority delegated by the Federal Subsistence Board, has announced that the Situk River will be closed to the harvest of Chinook Salmon from 12:01 a.m. Saturday, June 1, 2019 through 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, July 30, 2019 due to forecasted low returns.
The use of bait and gillnets is prohibited in the Situk River when fishing for other species during this closure to minimize the incidental mortality of Chinook Salmon. Incidentally, caught Chinook Salmon may not be removed from the water and must be released immediately.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) has also taken action to close State commercial, sport, and subsistence fisheries to conserve returning Situk River Chinook Salmon.
ADF&G has set the biological escapement goal for the Situk River drainage at 450-1,050 large (>28 inches) Chinook Salmon. The return of large Chinook Salmon to the Situk River has been below the goal in six of the last nine years. The goal was achieved in 2013, 2014, and 2017 after restrictive management measures were implemented.
The 2019 forecast is for 300 large Chinook.

Workshop Sitka
AMSEA Marine Safety Instructor Training in Sitka
The Alaska Marine Safety Education Association (AMSEA) is conducting a six-day Marine Safety Instructor Training (MSIT) at the Public Safety Training Academy in Sitka, Alaska, from September 23 to September 28, 2019. This is an intensive train-the-trainer course that prepares individuals to effectively teach cold-water survival procedures, use of marine safety equipment, and vessel safety drills.
Taught by experienced mariners, the MSIT provides practical, hands-on experience in survival equipment use and procedures. Topics covered during the course include preparation for emergencies, cold-water near drowning, hypothermia, cold-water survival, survival equipment, procedures & onboard drills, risk assessment, ergonomics, and methods of instruction. AMSEA recommends this workshop for anyone that wants to provide cold-water survival & survival, shore-side survival, or marine safety instruction, like the USCG-required drill conductor certification for commercial fishermen.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be prepared to teach AMSEA’s U.S. Coast Guard approved Fishing Vessel Drill Conductor training, pending authorization from the Coast Guard. Participants may elect to co-teach a Fishing Vessel Drill Conductor training in Sitka on September 29, 2019.
This workshop is free to commercial fishermen upon approval, thanks to support from the U.S. Coast Guard. The cost for all others is $875 for AMSEA members and $995 for non-members. Interested mariners can register online at www.asmsea.org or call (907) 747-3287.
