FISH TO SCHOOLS - Jerick Keith, 13, carries his rockfish taco lunch to a table at Blatchley Middle School Wednesday. The lunch was part of the Fish To Schools program, which is marking its fourteenth year of incorporating wild, local seafoods into Sitka’s school lunches. In an email, the Sitka Conservation Society, which manages the program, thanked Sitka’s fishermen as well as processors, Sitka Sound Seafoods and Seafood Producers Cooperative, for donating to the program and the Sitka School District food services team for cooking the seafood. The next Fish To Schools day for Keet Gooshí Héen Elementary, Xóots Elementary, Blatchley Middle School and Sitka High School will be January 22. (Sentinel Photo)

Whale Found

WHALE FOUND – A dead 30-foot-long juvenile humpback whale floats near the western shore of Kruzof Island Thursday. Jeff Feldpausch, resource protection director at the Sitka Tribe of Alaska, was notified of the dead whale by a troller in the area and he in turn notified local whale biologist Jan Straley. With STA’s help Straley collected samples from the whale to send to a NOAA lab to find the cause of death. She said the animal appeared to have been dead for a while and noted some post-mortum bite marks. (Photo by Mike Smith)
