Alaskans,

I wanted to share some very exciting news!

I have successfully passed several Community Project Funding initiatives for various projects in Alaska. This funding, which will soon be signed into law as part of government funding legislation, is the result of close collaboration and advocacy between myself and Alaskan community leaders.

Tomorrow, at 1:30pm Alaska time, I will be hosting a special Take 5 Live on Facebook Live to answer YOUR questions about these Community Project Funding initiatives. Click here to submit your questions.

The Alaska Diaries of Dr. James Taylor White 1889, 1890, 1894, 1900–1901: “I Wish You Could Come Too” Paperback – October 16, 2021
by Dr. Gary C. Stein (Author)
5.0 out of 5 stars 3 ratings

“I Wish You Could Come Too,” The Alaska Diaries of Dr. James Taylor White, by Gary C. Stein, is a first-hand look at life aboard a revenue cutter during Alaska’s formative early years. The ships of the U.S. Treasury Department’s Revenue-Cutter Service patrolled the waters of the Bering Sea, the coast of Alaska, and the Yukon River, and for several of those voyages a bright and engaging young physician, Dr. James Taylor White, served aboard and recorded his adventurous work in personal correspondence and journals.

HEY Alaska! We need your help! ?
We are refurbishing a cabin at Eagle River Campground, and seeking input for the naming of the cabin. It is the preference of ASP to have the cabin and accompanying signage to be named and themed in both common (Western) and Dena’Ina language.
For example, if the project is to be bird themed and the cabin is named Bald Eagle, the accompanying Dena’Ina name would be “Dalika”.
We want your opinion for themes and names for the cabin. There is a possibility for future projects in this area, and the names would follow the same theme.
Please let us know in the comments what your favorite themes and names are for this wonderful project in one of the most accessible areas of the Chugach State Park.

The Alaska Zoo

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Nikolai, the last male of the zoo’s wolf pack. He passed away at the age of 15. He would have been 16 this spring. He and his five siblings arrived at the zoo in May of 2006 as pups. He lived his whole life with his siblings by his side and the dedicated zookeepers who took him on frequent walks on the zoo’s wooded back trails. He is survived by his two sisters still at the zoo, Windy and Ruby. Zoo staff and volunteers miss all of the animals whose time it is to pass, however Nikolai won over everyone with his easy going personality and disposition. We will miss you so much, Nik. We know you will greet Denali, Rohn and Lucky for us. Pup photos by John Gomes, photo with Curator Sam Lavin (courtesy of Sam Lavin) and the remaining photos by Zookeeper Alyssa Allen.
