St. Patrick’s Day Spring Equinox It is an 11-year cycle (or half of a 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22-year cycle) because sunspots appear in pairs with a signature of magnetically "north" or magnetically "south."

This actual time will vary based on your geographical position.

    Deedie Pearson Transcript of an Oral History Conducted by Anjuli Grantham at Kodiak, Alaska On June 12, 18, and 26, 2015 (With subsequent corrections and additions) Kodiak Historical Society About West Side Stories This oral history is part of the West Side Stories project of the Kodiak Historical Society. West Side Stories is a public humanities and art project that intended to document the history of the west side of Kodiak Island through oral history, photography, and art. The oral histories chart the personal stories of individuals with a longtime connection to the west side of Kodiak Island, defined for the scope of this project as the area buffeted by the Shelikof Strait that stretches from Kupreanof Strait south to the village of Karluk. The project endeavored to create historical primary source material for a region that lacks substantive documentation and engage west side individuals in the creation of that material. The original audio recording of this interview is available by contacting the Kodiak Historical Society. Additional associated content is available at the Kodiak Historical Society/ Baranov Museum, including photographs of interview subjects and west side places taken during the summer of 2015, archival collections related to the west side, and journals and art projects created by west side residents in 2015. This project is made possible due to the contributions of project partners and sponsors, including the Alaska Historical Society, Alaska Humanities Forum, Alaska State Council on the Arts, Kodiak Maritime Museum, Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, Kodiak Public Broadcasting, Prince William Sound Regional Citizens Advisory Council, and Salmon Project.
