KYUK

I checked in with our colleagues across the state in our statewide news network today.

Evan Erickson at KYUK in Bethel, the News Director there, said gas prices are between 7.29 and 7.66 a gallon.

Downriver from Bethel in Napaskiak, gas is 9.40 a gallon.

And that's also, of course, affecting the price of goods in, in stores.

At the one-year mark since the remnants of Typhoon Halong wreaked havoc on western Alaska communities, families are still scattered across the state, unable to say when they may return to something resembling normal life.

In Bethel, KYUK's Evan Erickson attended a birthday party with a close-knit family from Quigillingock who are still figuring out life.

Last October, Marie White traveled from Bethel to her hometown of Quigillingock to celebrate her 67th birthday among her daughters and grandchildren who lived in the village.

Less than two weeks later, White was back in Bethel.

One year ago, nearly the entire community was evacuated after Ex-Typhoon Halong hit Western Alaska.

As KYUK Samantha Watson reports, crews on the ground say it's a physical and emotional investment, even as the long-term future of the community remains a question.

Hello.

Good morning, Louis.

I'll kind of go through this message again if we need to.

And another announcement, AVTEC recruitment event at the YK Delta Job Center next Thursday, October 15th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. And let's see.

Hey, one second.

Okay.

Sorry, yeah, I was listening to online KYUK and got me off guard, but how's everybody doing this morning?

Good, even though it's a little overcast out there, but it's nice.

I think we had a technical error on our end.

KYUK glitch.

Glitch.

So

Which

they need to bring out their problems and other stuff.

I am glad I help out through here, KYUK.

Awesome.

Last week, a draft of that supplemental report was released for a 30-day public comment period.

KYUK's Samantha Watson has more.
