Bristol Bay and Beyond, Feb. 12: This week, a conversation with the new Dept. of Corrections commissioner following an assault at a state jail that left a Dillingham man hospitalized this week: "We are stretched thin in locations," said Dean Williams, though not attributing staffing shortages necessarily to the incident at Wildwood Correctional Center. Bear tracks have been popping up around the area. We'll go on the hunt for ursus sightings, and whatever else is leaving prints: "It looked like a rather large human footprint with five toes, right alongside the road," says Gary Nielsen, referencing a possible hairy man track discovered in Kokhanok. The Malamutes christened their new gym in Newhalen last night: "It was a packed house, and just having the capacity to have all those people there comfortably and safely was wonderful," said Ty Mase, the LPSD superintendent Friday morning. Plus, we'll introduce Dillingham's new prosecutor, and ahead of Valentine's Day, we ask a few folks what's made the difference in their love lives through the years. "Well her cooking has certainly gotten better," said Dave Bouker, who has been married to Johanna for 51 years. "Oh my gosh, is that the reason you're sticking around? Oh no, I'm sick of cooking," she said.
