1Suzanne Downing Must Read Alaska: October 01, 2018
OCT. 2 IS LOCAL ELECTION DAY

Turnout is historically poor for local elections around the state. Democrats go to the polls in greater numbers and are stacking these seats over because Republicans don’t run and don’t vote.

If you need to know the party affiliation of a certain candidate in your area, I’ll be running a rapid-response email between now and 8 pm Tuesday. Write to me at Suzannedowning907@gmail.com and I’ll look it up for you as soon as I can.

“Because the family of these folks had VHF radios, and because they had a radio aboard as well, we were better able to locate them and understand their situation,” Lt. Casey Corpe, the C-130’s co-pilot, said in the statement. “Though they did not have a life jacket for every person on the boat, I’m sure that next time they go out they will. Alaskan water temperatures are unforgiving. If something goes wrong on the water, a life jacket often means the difference between life and death.”
