Sawmill Creek Road project: A blast from the past

The blasting along Sawmill Creek Road this fall has been blamed for a series of water main ruptures in Sitka -- along with many smaller inconveniences to motorists, tourists, hikers, and bikers headed out to the fare end of the community's road system. The state-funded project has been five years in the making, and many Sitkans -- at least in one coffee shop patronized by KCAW's Rich McClear -- have forgotten how it came to be such an earth-shaking effort.

With new standards, Sitka to keep focus on students

The Sitka School District is bracing for changes in the way its teaching staff and academic performance are assessed. Superintendent Steve Bradshaw and assistant superintendent Mary Wegner outlined some of the programs and objectives of the district in a presentation to the Sitka Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday (10-30-13).

Newsdesk?

Raven Radio has had four General Managers in 30 years. Rich McClear was the very first and recently sat at his old desk. He wasn't just enjoying the view of Sitka Channel though, he was editing a news story. Rich has been volunteering in the News Department for the last several weeks, filing stories from the ATIA conference among others. See his latest story on how the Sawmill Creek Road project came to pass here. Thanks Rich!
