i want to thank linda young for stepping into a difficult situation. this is the subject of much frustration on the part of the board of supervisors. any time we talk about justice, it is a difficult situation. when i was a deuptputy city attorney, i worked on this contract. to be honest, i appreciate the difficult work but i am not confident we are where we need to be. you want to get to a place where there is more clarity. a number of basic things. the budget is one of them. i think it will be hard to stick with a budget if you don't have a full grasp. the target amount of money. and there has to be a provided timeline. there has to be an end goal. and specific targets for various tasks. and you need to provide the board with a clear assessment of where each agency is. in terms of their ends where this needs to be done. the finger-pointing is not direct but it talks about what others need to do. my goal is to be in a situation where we have a clear path to follow. and there is no chance to point fingers. i don't know if people are doing that intentio

linda cook is researching the migration of the people who moved from the kenai fjords. [linda cook] english bay originally-- the name is now nanwalek-- was a summer seasonal camp, and the russians were along this coastline in the late 1700s. with the coming of the americans in 1867, the village reverted to american hands. there were somewhere probably in the neighborhood of 80 people here in 1880, and since then, the village has remained relatively insular. the 1880 census indicated that most people were eskimo with what were then a very low percentage of creoles, who were russian and native alaskan composition. [man] we at english bay think this is what it was like before the russians came in, when they gathered for community dinners and had only the beat of the drum. [drum beating] and after hunting, they would gather together, bring out the fiery vodka, and get the natives to entertain them, and here's the version of the seal dance.
