Description:

After five years, the Lower Kuskokwim School District has reached a settlement with its insurance companies for the Kilbuck School fire. The school burned down in November 2015. LKSD made the announcement in a press release on Nov. 18. On Saturday, Nov. 21, there will be two chances to get a COVID-19 test and flu shot in Bethel. The events are free and no appointments are needed. The weather may be cold, but it’s too soon to get out on the river ice. That’s the message from Mark Leary with Bethel Search and Rescue, who flew the river on Wednesday, Nov. 18. The Bethel highway horseshoe may soon become a loop again. The state wants to pave Tundra Ridge Road, also known as Polk Road. That would create a straight shot between the Tundra Ridge Subdivision and the airport, and create a loop around Bethel. Listen Listening... 5:16 The coronavirus is shutting down schools all over the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. In the Lower Kuskokwim School District, with every school closed due to the overwhelming high rates of COVID-19, students are starting to adjust to what a remote learning year is going to look like. However, there is one big concern on every student athlete’s mind: will there be sports this year? Cases of COVID-19 continue to increase in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. Health professionals like Dan Winkelman, President and CEO of the Yukon Kuskokwim Health Corporation, say that the region needs to lock down for a month to keep local health care facilities from being overwhelmed. The 10th person in the region died from complications with COVID-19 on Nov. 17. The individual was an Elder in their 90s, according to the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation. At least one community in the region has entered a month-long lockdown. The Native Village of Eek mandated the community-wide lockdown beginning Nov. 17. Indigenous communities, like those in the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta, are having a tough time with COVID-19. The Navajo Nation got the pandemic under control within a few months, but now they are experiencing a second wave.  All of Napakiak and portions of Bethel will lose power this coming Saturday, Nov. 21. The planned outage will last from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. Each weekday, the community is invited to "Coffee@KYUK" to discuss news and information relative to Bethel and the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta.
