Each year I make an effort to travel to the various communities I represent in Senate District Q.\u00a0 Back in early November I traveled to Prince of Wales Island visiting the communities of Thorne Bay, Klawock and Craig.\u00a0 In Thorne Bay I met with City Administrator Wayne Brenner and we discussed their various capital needs.\u00a0 We visited the H&L Salvage Plant, a shingle mill located at Goose Creek owned by Keith Landers and Desiree Jenson, and met with the workers.\u00a0 During my visit, I picked up two red cedar shakes, to be displayed in my office in Juneau.\u00a0 While in Klawock I met with Mayor Donald Marvin and we went over community issues.\u00a0 We also visited the Viking Lumber Company with Bryce Dahlstrom, the sawmill manager.\u00a0 In Craig I met with Mayor Dennis Watson and City Administrator Jon Bolling at City Hall to discuss their community issues.<\/p>\n
In early January I had the opportunity to travel to Kake and Angoon.\u00a0 In Kake I joined Mayor Henrich Kadake, Sr., in a parade for the 2014 Kake Day Celebration.\u00a0 During the occasion, there was a delicious potluck and fun social games, one of which I participated in was musical chairs.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t played that game since I was a little kid!\u00a0 We also got down to business and visited with community members, went to the Kake Cannery, discussed the difficult financial challenges facing the Kake Nonprofit Fisheries Corporation\u2019s Gunnuk Creek Hatchery and we talked about local hydro projects and other energy needs in the community.\u00a0 I was impressed with how Kake is moving forward with various projects, such as demolishing and removing old buildings and improving roadways.\u00a0\u00a0 While in Angoon I met with Mayor Richard George, three council members and various community members to discuss their water, sewer and hydro projects.<\/p>\n
Thank you to everyone for your hospitality and for making my visit productive.\u00a0 The next communities in my district that I plan to visit in the coming weeks are Hoonah and Haines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
