Problem Corner is an iconic radio show that has become a vibrant community hub. Callers engage in a wide array of discussions, ranging from local political debates to community commentary and casual advertisements for listeners looking to buy, sell, or trade personal items.
The show's rich history is marked by its association with several prominent local figures. Notably, Dennis Egan, a former mayor of Juneau, was a key personality in shaping the show's direction in the 1980s.
As a testament to its enduring relevance and appeal, "Problem Corner" has etched its name in the annals of Alaskan broadcasting history. It's not just a radio show but a cultural landmark, celebrated for being the longest-running radio show in Alaska.
Welcome to the new problem corner, Alaska's longest running radio show. Connect, share, and discuss the topics that matter to judo and all of Southeast Alaska. Join the conversation at 907-586-1800 and online at k I nyradio.com. Now here's your host, Mike Lane.
Speaker 2:Good afternoon. Mike Lane with you on KINY. It is the new problem corner. If you have something you'd like to buy, sell, swap, trade, or talk about, give me a shout. 586-1800.
Speaker 2:Now if you don't wanna be on the air, that's fine. You can always email your problem corner thoughts and ideas to me. Go to k I n y radio dot com. You can email me from there. Those emails come directly to me, by the way, just so you know.
Speaker 2:Alright. It is 6 minutes after 1. Before we jump into recapping some of the stuff from yesterday, I I gotta mention, I was listening to that ABC report about, hurricane Milton. Very, very powerful hurricane, again gaining strength and, ramping up to a category 5. Holy cows.
Speaker 2:Yeah. It could again, it could be a category 5 in no time at all. And what they are saying about it, if you if you've done any reading about it, you'll know that, they're saying that it could be one of the most destructive hurricanes on record by late tomorrow. That is absolutely nuts. And one of the other things that got my attention with that was the fact that they have so much national attention, from national media, and they've had how much warning?
Speaker 2:How much warning have they had for this thing? They get they get a lot of warning for the hurricanes and people still refuse to leave. They absolutely dig their heels in, do not wanna leave. I understand it's home and I get that but it's a hurricane for crying out loud. That is absolutely crazy.
Speaker 2:It's scary. They say that Air Force Reserve hurricane hunters find that Hurricane Milton's intensity has rebounded and the Hurricane Center said they said this in an advisory this afternoon that it could be a category 5. It's right on the cusp of becoming a category 5, which is very, very scary and a lot of destruction there and potential loss of life. Anyway, with that said, what do we have to do to get national coverage for our flood situation here in southeast? Our floods and landslides that we've been experiencing quite a bit of lately.
Speaker 2:What do you think we should do to get that national coverage? I mean, seems like, we haven't really had that much national coverage on that as far as I know. I haven't noticed any, but anyway, with that said, a quick look at the weather. We are expecting quite a bit of rain over the next few days, including today. Showers through the rest of today with a high of 49, winds out of the east at about 5 miles per hour.
Speaker 2:And then tonight, more showers somewhere between a quarter and a half inch expected, an overnight low of 40 with winds out of the east at 5 miles per hour. And, they are saying tomorrow is going to bring somewhere between a quarter and a half inch again with a high of 45 and east winds 10 to 15. And that's the way it's gonna look all the way through the the week and into the coming weekend. Right now, in the capital city, southeast winds at 9 overcast and 47 here at the Juno Media Center. Alright, problem corner.
Speaker 2:If you've got something you want to buy, sell, swap, trade, give me a call. 586-1800. Here is a we'll get to that we'll get to that in a minute. Good afternoon. Provenkorn.

Speaker 2:We do have the ales for tails that's going on right now till 8 o'clock tonight over at the Alaska Brewing Company tasting room, and, that's going on till 8 o'clock tonight in Benefits Jar, Juno Animal Rescue. Good afternoon. Problem Corner, you're on the air.
Speaker 10:Yeah. Hey. I'm gonna stir the pot.
Speaker 2:Oh, stir the pot. It's here's the spoon. You go right ahead.
Speaker 5:Hey. You know, whatever do they decide to do with Floyd Drive, I mean, I always thought that would be a perfect place for the city offices to be. Although they claimed it would cost more to put cubicles in there and stuff than than to build a whole new building, which I really, really, really doubt. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2:Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not sure what they did with, Floyd Dryden. I know that it it doubled as a shelter for a while, during during some flood relief stuff.
Speaker 2:But
Speaker 5:Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, that that wouldn't be a bad idea for use for the gymnasium because, you know, I hear they're gonna gonna get a bunch of sandbags and and the city's gonna pay to put them in or something. You know, that's part of the plan Yeah. For the for the next flood.
Speaker 5:But, I really just don't understand why they don't put city officers in there. I guess it's because they just don't want to. They wanna be downtown or the downtown business associates association doesn't want the city moving out of downtown. You know? It's just
Speaker 2:Yeah. I I don't know. I don't know the answer. I wonder if somebody else does. Somebody, might have more knowledge about it than than me and, Yeah.
Speaker 5:You know, it just makes common sense. You've got that building. And I know when Wade was buried, he said that they would probably rent it out, but they'd take a loss on it. You know what I mean? You got this building that's paid for that's big enough to do a whole lot with.
Speaker 2:Yeah. And we have
Speaker 5:when we're renting city offices, I mean, it wouldn't take much to put cubicles in each classroom and put people in there, you know. Yeah. I think in the state office building, they put a bunch of cubicles, you know. It I just, it just I guess it just makes too much sense. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2:Yeah. I was gonna say, you did mention somebody had common sense. I'm not sure about that. Yeah. And, you know,
Speaker 5:and I just wish our city would quit trying to spend so much money. You know? The people are having a tough enough time paying their property taxes nowadays. Yeah. Well, I'll leave it at that.

Speaker 2:Excellent.
Speaker 10:I still wanna, make a comment about, drivers in Juneau.
Speaker 2:Okay. I don't
Speaker 10:understand why they drive with their headlights off when, you know, we're falling in this fall time weather and winter, and you don't get that much daylight after dusk.
Speaker 4:Right. Right. Right.
Speaker 10:O'clock. It's in 9 o'clock areas, it's, you know, pitch black out, and you can't even see those cars.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Yeah. I don't
Speaker 10:as I don't know. And then pedestrians, they should wear reflections reflectors or some kind of, like, a reflector on their clothing of some type. Yeah. You can't even see them.
Speaker 2:Right. Right. Yeah. People, keep
Speaker 10:boarding on the side of the road. So
Speaker 2:Hey. I I hear you loud and I hear you loud and clear. People need to have those headlights on and, be a little bit more thoughtful about what they wear when they go out to to walk at night. It's very dark and and can't be seen, particularly when they're crossing the street, you know, in some areas.
Speaker 10:It's really, scary to even go, for, like, well, people who do DoorDash and and then people are running in stop what do you call it? Stop signs. I noticed this really bad, by the way, the homes area, the freezing area.
Speaker 2:Yeah?
Speaker 10:And this person almost t boned our car. The driver drove right to the stop sign Uh-huh. Just didn't even stop completely and almost collided with our car. And it's just the careless drivers out there. This is a small town.
Speaker 10:It's not a big city.
Speaker 2:Yeah. You know It's
Speaker 10:not like Seattle or Anchorage or anything like that, and the roads are pretty narrow around here.

Speaker 8:are there, and
Speaker 10:they really take up a lot of space.
Speaker 2:I don't know that people are necessarily careless drivers.
Speaker 10:You know, should think that people need to be more considerate.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah. And I I gotta say though, I don't I don't think I don't think that they're necessarily careless. I don't think they're careless drivers. I think they just get so comfortable behind the wheel that they, you know, they kind of space out where you're at. You know what I mean?

Speaker 17:Bob Wes Spicer, and here are the stories we're following this hour.

State records show only one confirmed case of noncitizen voting since 2011 involving a woman from American Samoa, a US territory. Alaska has 2 automatic voter registration systems, including one tied to the permanent fund dividend, both of which require voters to confirm their
