 Refuge welcomes new manager Delehanty
Steve Delehanty is the new manager at the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, based out of the Islands and Ocean Visitor Center here in Homer. Delehanty has spent 23 years working for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service throughout the country, but this is his first posting in Alaska.




On his first week on the job, Delehanty flew to Adak where the refuge maintains a seasonal office and took the refuge ship, the M/V Tiglax back to Homer, as it picked up field camps for the season. Earlier in his career, Delehanty was the first manager of the St. Croix Wetland Management District in Wisconsin and also worked at the Charles M. Russell Refuge in Montana and other refuges in Minnesota and Illinois.

Sun’s rays may cause outages
The sun’s powerful rays may cause temporary disruption of satellite-provided cable television, Internet and long-distance telephone service Oct. 6-19, as the sun’s path takes it directly behind the satellite and in line with the antenna on the ground. The potential interruptions occur each year around the time of the equinoxes.
Customers may experience interruption to telephone calls to and from locations within Alaska, the Lower 49 states and international locations. Each outage could last up to 15 minutes, although the length of the outage will vary. Land-based services such as fiber optics and microwave are not affected by sun outages.
