On this week's show, we sit down with outgoing Dillingham city manager Rose Loera, remember elder Raymond Conquest, visit the Yup'ik language and culture class, profile an NYO state champ and more.
Bristol Bay and Beyond, April 28, 2017: This week, the outgoing Dillingham city manager joins to talk about her time on the job. "I've tried my best, I was born and raised here, and thought that my job was to make it a better place for us to be," says Rose Loera. KDLG's Avery Lill profiles the Yup'ik language and culture class at DHS, and now two-time wrist carry state champ Justin Dye tells us why NYO is so great. "These events represent what we used to do to survive, so I think that's really good for our culture and all these kids learning about it," he says. Plus, we remember Raymond Conquest of Aleknagik who passed away at 89 this week, and the lead from next week's production of "Annie" shares a few preview pieces. Those stories, plus a recap of some of the week's news.
