Rural blog

The Village is a Daily News blog about life and politics in rural Alaska. Its main author is ADN reporter Kyle Hopkins. Come here for breaking news on village issues, plus interviews, videos and photos. But that's just part of the story. We want to feature your pictures, videos and stories, too. Think of The Village as your bulletin board. E-mail us anything you’d like to share with the rest of Alaska -- your letters to the editor, the photos of your latest hunt or video of your latest potlatch. (We love video.)

Kyle Hopkins

I was born in Sitka, have lived in Kake, Skagway and Fairbanks and joined the ADN in 2005 after writing for the Anchorage Press and Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. I started blogging for the paper in 2006 with The Trail, our blog about the governor's race. Then came the Alaska Politics blog. Now I'm covering government and rural affairs and live in Anchorage with my wife, Rebecca. (Update: Our daughter Alice was born May 31. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.)

The U.S. Coast Guard rescued an Anchorage man who fell down a cliff and fractured his ankle Saturday on Kodiak Island.

Mike Brown was hiking near Zachar Bay on the west side of Kodiak Island when he fell, the Coast Guard said. Brown's friend called Andrew Airways, which had earlier dropped the men off.

At 2:20 p.m., the Coast Guard sent a Jayhawk helicopter crew from Air Station Kodiak. The crew hoisted Brown to the helicopter about an hour later. He was in stable condition at Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center Saturday, the Coast Guard said.
