POWHA sold their rst major sale of cohos to EC Phillips on August 28th.
Volunteers are a very important part of what makes POWHA a success.
Fish and Game require us to release over 6400 cohos back to the river for escapement, we need to collect 3500
cohos for broodstock, as without the brood stock we cannot collect and incubate 5 million eggs each year.
Surplus sales, pays the bills!
September 12 : Aer a day of heavy rain the river rose and topped the weir pickets, and we esmate that 4000
coho adults went over the fence during this me. On that day there were many hundreds of cohos that swam up
the sh ladder and entered the common raceway, too. It turned out to be the biggest day of sales for this season.
More than 1900 were harvested and sold that day alone and the sales from that one day amounted to almost
$18,000!
Je Green and his crew from EC Phillips and Sons delivered totes of slush, and ake ice, to us via a at deck truck,
and we used our forkli to unload these, and replace them with totes full of cohos. Beginning on August 28th
, and
ending on October 2nd
, there were 11 days of harvesng. 11,821 cohos, with a total weight of 74,837 pounds,

OFFICE WORKSFROM REBECCA
I would have thought with fall gone, winter and cold blustery days seng in, that things here in the oce
would slow down to a small crawl..but that is not the case, as we are in full swing with adversing
and geng geared up for the 2013 POW Island Guide!
For the month of October 1, the USFS map went out to San Antonio, TX. 2012 POW Island Guides went toOregon and Indiana. We had one visitor in the oce from Oregon!
Our featured photographers this month are Karen Petersen, Marta Heacock, Meridith Sornsen
and Sco Sellards!
We only have 18 boxes of guides le for a total of 1350. That is 225 less than last month.
Thanks to all who have stopped in and dropped o their pictures for the 2013 Island

The Prince of Wales Island Guide 2013
It is me to update the Island Guide with new photos, informaon and an events lisng to get us
through another year. Memberships in the Chamber of Commerce are coming in and they are key to pro-
ducing another great Guide of our Island but anyone can help with the producon.It will be hard to improve on the spectacular 2012 Guide, so the layout and some of the informaon
there will remain the same. Changes will come with your help to have an awesome cover, new informaon
to tell the story about our Island and all it has to oer, a center fold that will help direct travel for busi-
ness and recreaon, an events schedule to inform everyone about what is happening, informaon about
our cies, communies, and villages and a directory that takes the place of a phone book for many.
It is a big job to get the Island Guide out by the rst of the New Year and we could use your help. Look
through the 2012 Guide and take the me to send us your photos, informaon and comments. We are go-
ing into producon now. Contact the Chamber Oce at; [email protected] 907-755-2626, with
anything that will help us create this publicaon for you.

CHAMBER OF CHAMBERS BREAKFAST
During the recently held Southeast Conference on Prince of Wales
Island, the POW Chamber of Commerce Directors hosted a breakfast
at the Fireweed Lodge in Klawock for Conference attendees that rep-
resented other southeast community Chambers of Commerce or Visi-
tor Bureaus.
The opportunity to network with fellow chambers was a welcome one,
and the sharing among all the attendees have resulted in a continued
dialogue about signature programs and events that are sponsored by
the Chambers in southeast Alaska.
POW Chamber of Commerce Co-Office Manager Rebecca Chester
shared her experience launching the MyChamberApp mobile applica-
tion for cell phones, and Keith Smith, the director of the Ketchikan
Chamber re-iterated how easy it is to work with the folks at MyCham-
berApp.
Jennifer Robinson from the Sitka Chamber office and a gentleman
from the Juneau City Council each spoke about their Business After
Hours events. Several Chambers have regularly scheduled events
that take place in local businesses after the doors close to the general
public. The local business sponsors the event for chamber members,
providing opportunity for networking with other businesses. The host
business can celebrate an anniversary or use the opportunity to high-
light a new product or welcome and introduce a new employee or
manager. Some have used the evening to promote a favorite non-
profit cause. Food, beverages, door prize drawings, and facility tours
can all be a part of these evening events. (The Prince of Wales
Chamber of Commerce hopes to start a similar program in 2013 letus know if youd be interested in sponsoring such an evening.)
We also heard about software packages that different Chambers use,
one of which our office staff plans to investigate further.
We received a handout that had been prepared by Rebecca, of re-
sponses from SE Chambers to a variety of questions we had asked
ahead of time regarding the size of their membership, dues struc-
ture, fundraising ideas, and benefit packages, etc. This gave us all a
chance to ask specific questions of each other.
Senator Bert Stedman also visited with us for a short time, talkingabout upcoming legislation in this next session.
We look forward to exploring a few of the ideas we gleaned from
this gathering, and appreciate all of those who attended and
shared with us.
Thank you to the Fireweed Lodge and Bob Anderson and staff
for serving up a fantastic meal to get us moving for the day.

Southeast Conference in Craig
Author: Bert Stedman
Last week my staff and I attended the annual meeting of Southeast Con-
ference in Craig. Southeast Conference is a regional, nonprofit corporation that
advances issues of importance to our region. Their meetings are a great forum f
communities, policymakers, and businesses to discuss how to move Southeast
Alaska forward.
Prince of Wales Island was a great location for this years confer-ence. The 3rd largest island in the USA, Prince of Wales is a beautiful corner of
our state with a rich history. The conference took place in Craig, but we were we
comed by Alaskans from all communities on the island. Of special note was the
community reception which featured culinary delights from all across the island.
At the conference we received updates on energy and economic develo
ment projects moving in the region. These included presentations on new hydroe
lectric projects as well as the Niblack and Bokan Mountain mineral depos-
its. These projects will help to create a more sustainable economy in Southeast
Alaska and will provide hundreds of needed jobs for our residents.
Id like to thank the Southeast Conference staff, the board of directors,
and the communities of Prince of Wales Island for organizing a great conference

We have maintained contact with our guest speaker, Debbie Crop-
per, who recently nished yet another marathon in Kenai. Debbie has volun-
teered to mentor our P.O.W. runners training for both the marathon and half
