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.

For Senate die-hards, no sweeter sound than ‘Alaskan of the Week’ Sullivan keeps tradition going in his second term
 
 
Sullivan Recognizes Doug Keil as “Alaskan of the Week”

WASHINGTON—On the floor of the U.S. Senate yesterday, Senator Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) recognized Doug Keil, of Anchorage, a para-alpine skier who was the first American man ever to win a gold medal at the Paralympic Games when he competed in Norway in 1980. After his historic wins, Keil returned to Alaska and spent the next 30 years building the structures, organizations and culture necessary to create opportunities for other Paralympic athletes. In 1980, Keil founded Challenge Alaska, a nonprofit that has enabled thousands of Alaskans and non-Alaskans alike to find joy, good health and independence through sports and recreation. Challenge Alaska recently celebrated its 40th anniversary at a banquet in Anchorage.

Keil was recognized as part of Sen. Sullivan’s series, “Alaskan of the Week.”

By Lex Treinen, Alaska Public Media: Anchorage Anchorage restaurant Mexico in Alaska celebrates 50 years
Maria Elena Ball is sitting in her empty restaurant on the Old Seward Highway in Anchorage. The 81-year-old has avocados on her mind after the U.S. suspended imports of the Mexican staple from her home state of Michoacan.

Fifty years ago she had avocados on her mind for a different reason.

“The avocados were terrible,” she said, “They had no flavor.”

Aside from a lack of good produce, Anchorage’s culinary scene was challenged by limited awareness of true Mexican cuisine. Ball didn’t have experience cooking — or running a business — but she knew she could make better Mexican food than the Americanized dishes like deluxe tostadas and Spanish fried rice that other restaurants served.

She opened Mexico in Alaska in a small building in Mountain View on St. Patrick’s Day in honor of the Irish soldiers who fought for the Mexican army during the Mexican-American War.

“I started with tapatias quesadillas, tacos de carne asada — that’s what I knew,” she said.

Gary Olson December 30, 1970 – February 9, 2022

Gary Warren Olson, father, son, brother and friend passed in his sleep in Anchorage, Alaska, in the early hours of Feb. 9, 2022

Gary was born in Anchorage on Dec. 30, 1970. He grew up in Alaska, playing sports and fishing and hunting with family and friends. Gary had a passion for basketball and excelled as a center for both Service and Dimond high schools. He worked in the construction industry during the summers while he was earning his degree in construction management.

In 1996, Gary earned a bachelor’s degree in construction management at Central Washington University. Upon graduation, he started a family and began his career as a project manager with his brother’s construction firm. He later started and operated his own company, Longfield Services Inc., until his interests turned towards nonprofit causes. From 1999 to 2002, Gary was elected to the Anchorage Fish and Game Advisory Committee.

In 2002, Gary founded the Alaska Moose Federation and served as its Executive Director until 2015. During his tenure the AMF established the orphaned moose calf relocation program, salvaged thousands of moose, created countless miles of diversionary snow trails, cleared rights-of way in the Mat-Su and on the Kenai Peninsula, and advocated and fought for various transportation projects meant to reduce the incident rate of vehicle-moose collisions. After leaving the AMF, he has volunteered every year to assist Moose Mama’s with their ongoing orphaned moose calf relocation program.

Since 2013 Gary was a member of the ChangePoint Church family. He was one of the founders of the Security Cadre, volunteering to perform body detail work for the pastors on days of worship.

In 2018, Gary began working on the preservation of Hangar 1 at Kulis Former Air National Guard Base, seeing to it that the hangar was listed on the National Register of Historic Places with the goal of turning Hangar 1 into a home for a veteran’s internship program that would be dedicated to the mission of bringing young veterans together with previous generations of veterans to restore heritage aircraft. He also believed that Hangar 1 would be an ideal location for his dream of an Arctic Warfare Museum, which is meant to compliment the DOD Ted Stevens Center for Arctic Security Studies and provide an apprenticeship platform for VIPER Transitions.

In 2019, Gary and Kyle Kaiser co-founded the Veteran Internships Providing Employment Readiness Program, which is now called VIPER Transitions.

When Gary gave to a cause he gave it his all, often forsaking himself for the benefit of others. Gary’s can-do attitude and optimistic nature earned him a great number of followers and friends. Gary’s friends and vanquished foes knew he never gave less than 110% to his chosen causes. He rarely, if ever, accepted no for an answer.

Gary leaves behind his father and mother, Warren and Janice Olson of Anchorage; daughters, Alycia (24), Rachael (22) and Whitley (16) of Houston, Texas; older brother, David of Anchorage; and sister-in-law, Casey and niece Grace of Spokane, Wash.

A memorial celebrating his life will be held at ChangePoint Church at 1 p.m., on Saturday, March 5, 2022. Please come as you are, dress casually, be prepared to laugh, maybe cry, and otherwise celebrate the bigger than life person that Gary was. And please … no flowers, as Gary would appreciate all donations to go to his favorite programs: Moose Mama’s and VIPER Transitions or contribute to his family’s GoFundMe, Gary Olson’s Memorial Fund. He will be buried in Cooper Landing, Alaska, later in the spring.

Kathleen Ann Honeysett

Mar 4, 1956 –

Feb 17, 2022

Memorial services for longtime Alaska resident Kathy Honeysett will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, March 4, 2022, at Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, 2901 Huffman Road in Anchorage, Alaska. A celebration of her life will be held immediately following the service at Admiral’s Place, 9350 Independence Drive in Anchorage.

Kathy was born on March 4, 1956, in Seattle, Wash., to James and Mary Bookey. She left Seattle when her family moved to Alaska in 1961, and grew up on the Kenai Peninsula. Kathy move to Anchorage in 1990, where she spent the remainder of her time.

She was a very motivated, goal-oriented woman that found success through years of hard work and determination. She retired from Staples as their executive vice president of commercial sales. Then served as treasurer on the board of directors at Angelus Cemetery for several years. During her retirement she worked side by side with her father James C. Bookey at his restaurant, Wee B’s on O’Malley. In 2017, after Jim’s death Kathy became the owner-operator, continuing her father’s legacy.

Her favorite pastimes were gardening, raising chickens, relaxing with her pets, enjoying friends, spending time with her son and grandson and working at the family restaurant.

On Thursday, Feb. 17, 2022, Kathy lost her battle to cancer at Providence Hospital. She was preceded in death by Ernie Daniels, her husband of 29 years. She is survived by her son, Robert Honeysett Jr.; grandson, Robert Honeysett III of Wasilla, Alaska; and brothers, Jim, Shannon and Kelly Bookey of Kenai and Pat Bookey of North Pole, Alaska. Kathy will be interred next to her husband Ernie Daniels and parents Mary and Jim Bookey at Angelus Memorial Park and Cemetery in Anchorage.
