Print article The Kuskokwim 300′s COVID-19 mitigation plans proved to be a boon this weekend for Aniak’s Richie Diehl and some other top mushers from the Bethel region. Diehl, who usually opts for the lucrative Kusko 300 instead of its shorter companion race, claimed his first Bogus Creek 150 title early Sunday morning by beating a couple of Kaisers. It was minus-10 when Diehl reached the finish line on the river near Bethel’s small boat harbor at 4:59 a.m., just in time to break the 17-hour mark by a minute.
BETHEL (AP) â Parents in an Alaska city have called for a return to classrooms after a high failure rate among students while school buildings were closed by the coronavirus pandemic.
The Lower Kuskokwim School District in Bethel made public a report showing high school students failed 59% of their classes during the first semester, KYUK-AM reported.
Students did not submit enough work to receive grades in 36% to 52% of kindergarten through eighth-grade classes, the report said. I was shocked, during the school reports, about the high numbers of students that are not engaging at all in school, said Megan Newport, the parent of a student at the Ayaprun Elitnaurvik school.
