  Jun 26, 2025—S0

  <p>Two hikers make their way along the seven-mile trail to the summit of the Mt. Edgecumbe crater. While the trail is spectacular, it is typical of resource-intensive terrain encountered by trail builders. “It’s rainy, it’s muddy,” says Trail Works director Ben Hughey, “You have to constantly cut back brush and clear blow down, and almost every linear foot of trail has to be covered in rock or wood, armoring the tread from erosion.” (Lee House photo)<br><br>In his letter, US Forest Service Chief Thomas Schultz wrote that “the impact the Sitka Trail Works Team has made in promot...

  Sitka Assembly advances charter amendment to use hospital funds for athletic facilities

  Jun 25, 2025—S0

  <p>Moller Field re-opened in 2012 after a $2.6-million renovation, including artificial turf, which was paid for by the state.

  <p>Steve Lawrie established his reputation as a large-canvas portrait artist. But This Thing We Call the Ocean is an homage to fishing, and to the people who thrive in Sitka’s maritime culture. “Some of those people unload the boats, some of those people catch the fish, some of those people repair the boats,” says Lawrie. “There are paintings of boats at sea with usually gnarly-looking water, you know, because half the time it is.”</p> <p></p> <p>Sitka artist Steve Lawrie has been around a long time, and his acclaim has grown along with the size of his portra...
