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.) E-mail me at khopkins@adn.com and find me on Twitter at twitter.com/ADNVillage.

Help on the way for stranded Diomede?

We'll have a story in tomorrow's paper updating the travel woes in Diomede, where no one's been able to fly in or out for the past four months.
The problem: The company that delivers mail by helicopter -- and normally offers passenger flights when there's space -- had to switch choppers.
As early as this week, the Norton Sound Health Corp. could strike a deal with the air carrier allowing patients to fly on the replacement helicopter. That way, at least, people can make their doctors' appointments.
Sen. Mark Begich last week wrote a letter to Gov. Sean Parnell calling the flight freeze a transportation crisis. He's suggesting the state look into splitting the cost of subsidized flights to the village with the feds.
Read his letter here.
Meantime, check out this 360-degree look at the village. It's kind of awesome. Click on the image to spin it around.
Finally, here's a local Webcam. The weather was looking pretty grim, last I checked.
