  • {quote}Help me out. Don't just try and kill me.{quote} specialty cheesemaker Kelli Estrella says of her frustration in dealing with the the Food and Drug Administration at the Estrella Family Creamery in Montesano,Wash. on November 4, 2010. The FDA ordered the Estrella Family Creamery in Montesano,Wash. to stop processing cheeses after it found listeria bacteria on some of the cheeses this year. The family says they have made many renovations on the farm and the bacteria is only found on the soft cheese, not everything. They believe they should be allowed to resume making cheese and sell the hard cheeses they have already made at the facility. The creamery is one of Washington's most famous artisan cheesemakers.

  • Gillnet fishing boats jockey for positions to make a set for sockeye salmon during ebb tide on the North Line fishing boundary of Egegik River in Bristol Bay, Alaska in July 1996. Bristol Bay is home to the world's largest sockeye salmon fishery managed by the Alaska Department of Fish & Game. It is a sustainable fishery. The commercial salmon drift gillnet fishing fleet is limited to boats no longer than 32 feet in length. There were over 1,800 permanent entry permits listed in 2002 required by every boat. Typically boats fish with two or three deckhands. Peak of the season is around July 4th in this fishery which lasts about a month. The rivers also get a fair amount of chum, king, and chinook salmon. Bristol Bay is located in the southwest part of Alaska.
