September 1, 1922 Opening a new market to Alaska salt herring, J. P. Todd, pioneer fish broker, recently sold 600 barrels of that product to a Siberian interest. The order came as a result of sample barrels which he sent into Siberia last year and the purchasers report that as soon as conditions become settled in that country, the demand for Alaskan salt herring will reach enormous proportions. The bill for the 600 barrels was paid in American money, spot cash. Because of existing conditions the shipments will be sent to Dairen, Manchuria, and...
August 25, 1922 Interest in the Southeastern Alaska County Fair has grown with surprising force during the last two weeks. The expression of good will toward the movement whose aim is to create local interest in home grown farm products and other articles of an Alaskan manufacture isn’t confined to any particular section or community, but is distributed over the greater part of Southeastern Alaska. Men who are engaged in almost every line of business have expressed their approval of holding an exhibit of this kind and offered to render the F...

"She was certain her prey was there and would not give up," wrote photographer Carol Ogden....

David and Tanya Somerville, the parents of Cole Michael Somerville, are happy to announce the marriage of Cole Somerville to Hatsumi Sekiguchi. Cole and Hatsumi met while Cole was traveling in Japan in the beginning of 2020. We were able to meet, and came to love, Hatsumi during her visit to Petersburg in the fall of 2020 through the beginning of 2021. While many marriages have been put on hold due to Covid restrictions, instead of delaying, Cole and Hatsumi decided to be married without a...
Nestled beneath the gray clouds is Gina Esposito's art project-a garden filled with color which has blossomed into her favorite space. Gina knew she wanted to garden when she first moved into the house on Lake Street where she now lives with her husband Paul Olsen and their two children. The garden has had many incarnations, but work began on it in 2009 starting with dirt and tarps before putting in raised beds and a fence around 10 years ago. Since then she has gone on to add raspberry beds, ba...
"We were back and forth and back and forth about the wisdom of building," says Sharon Hunter. "It takes a while...it's like childbirth. One must forget what goes into the endeavor." Brad and Sharon Hunter built their first house back in 1990. A fine house where they raised their family. That house, up on Vesta Street, is now owned by their daughter Margaret and her husband Jesse Agner. And when their children had graduated into adulthood and Brad and Sharon reached retirement age, their...
"It started with a free slide we got from our day care," said Alesha Jabusch. The Jabusch family - Jake and Alesha and their two young daughters Devyn and Dawson - had this slide, a bright yellow spiral tube slide in good shape, and they had some room on their property along South Mitkof Highway and a dream of someday making a special playground or a least building a platform to support the slide. What brought the dream to life was a visit to Petersburg earlier this year from Alesha's uncle Ron...
From all indications thus far, Gordon the dog loves the house his owner, Colette Peters, recently designed and built on Sandy Beach Rd. It's the two-story red and black house on the uphill side between Hungry Point and the Whale Observatory, so it's not out the road but still maintains an "off the beaten path" aspect that she finds appealing. Peters, 31, moved here five and a half years ago and decided to make things permanent because she enjoyed the community and the people. She describes the...
This is not the first time Kelly and Toby Bakos have flipped a house, but hopefully it is their last. Kelly and Toby moved into their "forever home" around two years ago and have been steadily pushing through their remodeling during the pandemic. They have gutted the interior-floors, walls, the kitchen-but there is still much work to do and because of the struggle of sourcing materials, much of Kelly's focus has been on developing their garden. When they moved in, they found the outdoor space...
If you're down on Dock St. and happen to notice a float house moored on the left, before the United States Forest Service and United States Coast Guard, that's just Dan and Robyn Cardenas and their two young boys, Roman and Syris. "It's pretty chill," Robyn says. "We're looking at Piston and Rudder, so we see the boats come in and out that are being worked on, and it's kind of fun because my two-year-old loves it when the float planes land or take off." It's busy, but it's not too loud. More...
August 11, 1922 Deputy Neil MacGregor and W. R. Norwood had narrow escapes from death last Saturday while attempting to secure pictures of Le Conte glacier when their boat was swamped by an iceberg which broke off from the bottom of the glacier and came up underneath the boat. MacGregor and Norwood left Petersburg Saturday morning in a row boat with an Evinrude and arrived at the glacier early in the afternoon. Going in close to the glacier, Norwood landed on a small shelf of rock while MacGregor cruised along the face of the glacier in the...
