On today's Midday Report with host Terry Haines:
A two-year-old humpback whale was found entangled in a gillnet near Petersburg last week. The City of Kotzebue secured a $12.5 million grant to repair and upgrade its sewer system. And as of Friday [7/31], nearly 10,000 Alaskans had requested absentee ballots from the state Division of Elections for the Aug. 18 statewide primary.
