“We’re all Alaskans and we have to look after each other. And so that goes for being prepared when you do a trip, but also looking after each other if you come across another person that in an accident,” Weston said.

By Sean Maguire: House Committee: More electronic monitoring, no inmates sent out of state
ANCHORAGE (KTUU) – An Alaska House of Representatives budget subcommittee has approved a proposal that would see more use of electronic monitoring and alternatives to prison for criminals being reintegrated into society.

As reported by the Anchorage Daily News earlier in the week, the budget subcommittee also rejected the governor’s plan to send 500 inmates Outside, a proposal that was estimated to save $12.8 million per year.

Rep. Tammie Wilson, R – North Pole, the chairwoman of the corrections subcommittee, said the governor’s plan had no specific directions for where Alaskan inmates would go, and she expressed doubt that contracts could be finalized before July 1.

The controversial policy of sending prisoners out of Alaska began winding down in 2012. Wilson doesn’t believe it should start up again, saying Alaskan prisoners should serve their time in-state where they are supported by their community.

Anchorage North/South Runway Project Update – 3/28/19
Please visit our website for project updates, to view our updated FAQs, and to submit comments.

The Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) North/South Runway Renewal project is about to begin the final phase of construction. The magnitude of this construction effort will require a full runway closure April through October, allowing construction to occur 7 days per week, 24 hours per day. During construction, air traffic will be shifted to the East/West Runways. Most arrivals will land from the west, and most departures will take off to the east, creating a temporary increase in air traffic and noise over the city. Airport operations and noise levels will return to normal upon completion of the project. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we complete the final phase of construction.

As the main runway at ANC, the North/South Runway is critical infrastructure for Alaska air travel and for supporting the 5th-busiest cargo airport in the world. The ANC North/South Runway Renewal project is improving airport efficiency and safety by replacing the aging pavement and widening the runway to comply with new design standards needed to accommodate the largest cargo airplanes in the world.

WATCH: Active shooter training at Palmer church Alaskans participate in a church security and intruder awareness training through Point Blank Firearms and Self Defense.
The training is called “church security and intruder awareness training,” and is the brainchild of a lifelong Alaskan and former police officer named Donna Anthony. Anthony is the CEO of Point Blank Firearms and Self Defense Training.

“You can sit there and show a video for an active shooter — like most companies do for 30 minutes — but that’s not enough training,” she said. “You’ve got to hand them the tools and the knowledge and the resources of what to do if something happens.”

Anthony says she was injured in the line of duty while working as a police officer, and she decided to apply her knowledge to help others learn how to defend themselves.

Jill Black participated in Saturday’s training. She is involved with a local group called Well-Armed Women, and she spends time training with firearms at shooting ranges – in large part to protect her family in case they’re involved in an active shooter situation.
