There are not enough words or thanks for the amazing help, wonderful turnout, delicious food and beautiful stories about my son Tuffy.

Police Building
Dear Editor: It is important to me that the City of Sitka has enough revenue to fix the infrastructure and to have enough money for a new police department building, thus the more cruise ships the better.
There is a tiny group in town that thinks they are the only voice and they are not, they should not think that they have the last word.
The cruise ship industry needs to make certain that there are enough buses to bring the tourists into town. That is what needs to be discussed. I have seen older people walking into town and it is too much for them. Let’s not let this tiny group with loud voices control the decisions about the tour ship industry.
We need to think about the businesses and the taxes that will be obtained.
