Mirrored Reflections
By SIG DIGREE
We have been taken to task for
our comments re- youth behavior
and cause thereof, which appeared
in last week’s Mirror.
It was not our purpose to hurt
anyone and in generalizing as we
did it is possible views expressed
would not necessarily fit each in
dividual case.
We want no quarrel with our
youth—in fact, we would be more
than glad to assist them in any
way possible. Many years have
passed and much water has gone
under the bridges since we were a
teenager. But we can still remem
ber the days of our youth. We
never by any stretch of the imagi
nation earned for ourselves the ti
tle of a “model” youth. Quite the
contrary. We were in there with
the rest of them perpetrating some
devilment frowned on by our eld
ers.
Since those unripe years we have
never seen fit to censor youth or
critize them unduly.
The youth of Kodiak, in our opin
ion, have handled themselves pret
ty well—a little mischief now and
then—but that’s part of growing
up.
Our only reason for commenting
as we did was because a life was
lost—mischief gets out of hand
when that happens.
Our statement about holding
back evidence could possibly be all
wrong. Since talking to one of the
boys involved, we feel this is quite
possible. We hope it is.
There’s a movement afoot to as
sist the youth of the community,
to aid them as to recreation—even
to the possibility of a building as
a center for their activities.
This is all to the good.

We were happy to see so many
flags flying on Flag Day yesterday.
It was the best display this writer
had ever seen in any community.
No doubt much of the credit can
be attributed to the American Le
gion for its earlier drive in selling
flags. Hats off to them! The Flag
Day ceremonies held' at the Elks
Club that evening was a fitting end
to this great day. Too bad more
people weren’t in attendance.
♦ * *
We want to say, here and now,
the youth of Kodiak, with a little
assist from the grownups, will find
a way.
More power to them.
Letter to the Editor
June 12, 1962
Concerning the opinion of said
assistant Editor concerning the
Teens and parents of said youths.
This obviously biased and preju
diced opinion is what constitutes
the problems of Kodiak and the
teen-agers. Why is it always the
persons without children who offer
the loudest advice and protest to
everything, whether they under
stand the circumstances or not.
If the Editor had taken the time
or trouble to interview our parents
or us boys they would know how
foolish these alligations are.
Our parents are naturally con
cerned and stating such a charge
as being too busy, too selfish, too
lazy both physically and mentally
i6 notoriously unfair and just plain
untrue. Anyone who has raised
anything but a Cocker Spaniel
would know that without having to
be told.
The writer obviously does not
know where of they speak when
they say that us boys are only a
small segment of the youth in Ko
diak. The truth is that a greater
percentage are involved in things
which either go undetected or are
kept quiet by the co-called do-good
ers of the town.
If we had the co-operation of the
authorities instead of having them
ride us on every detail they can
obtain, it would help tremendously.
As for the so-called Teen-Club
that you seem to be so proud of.
How would you like to sit from
7:00 to 11:00 with nothing to do
but sit and talk? This is entertain
ment? A metropolis of this size
ought to be able to do better.
I would appreciate your printing
this and giving my point of view
to the people.
Sincerely,
Ken A. Holman
The fellow who acts now can run
circles around the fellow who is
too cautious to move.
ARE YOU IN A RUT?
It’s nothing unusual these days.
But that doesn’t mean a person who wants to get out needs to j
stay there.
One of the easiest ways is with the help of a savings account.
Ready cash enables you to act independently. . . Think in terms
of greater opportunities. ... Be more creative.
One of the best places to accumulate money is in our bank.

A sponsoring group is sought for
the staging of a rodeo in Kodiak
over the Labor Day weekend. Dick

and spoke briefly on the subject.
He stated there is considerable in
terest and personnel who^have rid
den in rodeos. “All that is needed
is a sponsor,” he said.
Harry Laffler, State Auditor for
the Employment Security Commis

drew a laugh when he described it
as a joint account—“you, as an em
ployer, put into it and your em
ployee draws it out.”
Ray Martin reported good col
lections in the drive for funds for
the 4th of July celebration, with
the total nearing the $1,000 mark.

The “Cape Horn” has been up on
the grid in the small boat harbor
the latter part of the week. Harbor
master A1 Fenner reported that
the run of low tides recently has
prevented use of the grid but that
he expected it to be busy again
now that tides are better.

Tiny Cichoski is having his ves
sel the “Skippy” worked over in
preparation for a busy season.
Cabin repairs are under way on
the “Isla N” and the vessel “Parks
7” is now hauled out for repairs.
Marine Surveyor Bill Damery re
ports that three of the vessels dam
aged by a grass fire at Larsen Bay
some weeks ago, have been re
paired and will be out fishing this
season. Three others are badly
burned and will not be repaired
this season, he said.
&
Ice damage and a damaged fore
foot on the “Parks 6” have been re
paired and the vessel is now back
in the water. Damage to the guards
and bulwark at the stern of the
“Leading Lady” has been repaired
and she is also now under way
again.

That big vessel flying the Ca
nadian flag in the small boat har
bor is the “T. W. Islander,” a re
search vessel of the Department
of Fisheries of Canada. She is
from Vancouver, B.C., and aboard
her are two biologists of the Uni

research on movement of the seal
herd. %

The 88-foot barge “Lex” docked
in the small boat harbor about 5
a.m. this morning. Skippered by
Dale Kramer, the “Lex” made the
trip from Seattle in 8 days witn
several stopovers in Southeastern
ports. She had smooth sailing the
entire trip, according to Jack Bris
bane, who went out to help bring
her up. The “Lex” is jointly owned
by Kramer and Fred Brechan.

Ray Martin Jr. has been about
the busiest man on the waterfront
the past week—cooking and ship
ping record numbers of King
Crabs. And early this morning he
was down in the boat harbor to ac
cept crabs off Joe Maultin’s “Sea
mill” and Fred Katelnikoff’s “So
phia K.” Ray added another full
time employee to his present crew
comprised of himself and Frank
Hochmuth. Ray swiped efficient
Earl Dietzler away from APA to
help process his ever-increasing
shipment orders of King Crab.

Bill Robertson’s recently-pur
chased “Invader” is all slicked up
sporting a new boom and paint job
throughout — inside and out, top
and bottom. Bill will be going for
Pinks this year and is just about
ready to pick up his seine and
brailer — probably this coming
weekend.
