Starrigavan Trees
Dear Editor: After a winter with practically no snow the Forest Service waited until spring to drop a bunch of big trees in the large campground at Starrigavan thus making a nice mess just in time for visitor season. That is interesting facility management on the part of our federal government.

Fundraiser Thank You
Dear Editor: Southeast Alaska Independent Living has a whale-sized thank you for everyone who participated in our wildlife cruise fundraiser.
The day started with SAIL staff leading a discussion with Allen Marine staff on accessible tours. Then everyone arrived and we had a great tour, the rain subsided and we were able to observe a Minke whale and bears on the beach.
SAIL is grateful for the support of Allen Marine for donating the cruise. Thank you to Raven Radio, KIFW/KFBZ and the Sentinel for publicizing the tour; Old Harbor Books for selling tickets. Thanks to Sea Mart, A/C Lakeside and the Bistro at Sitka Community Hospital for donating trays of food that were enjoyed by all.
Dave Nuetzel, Southeast Alaska Independent Living
