In early March, someone in a community near Bethel received a letter from the state gaming manager. It ordered them to stop conducting illegal gambling on Facebook, and to turn in their gaming equipment and records to the state.
The person who received that letter, startled, contacted Anna Bill, who was a tribal police officer in Mountain Village at the time.
“They asked me to take a look at it,” Bill said. “And they were concerned about it.”
Bill said that the person was concerned the letter was a potential scam, so she contacted Alaska State Troopers, who told her that the letter was indeed real.

Washington: Twenty years later, Jud Kilgore still canât get the video out of his mind.
In March 1991 Rodney King - a black man on parole for robbery - led police on a high-speed chase through Los Angeles.
The police officers eventually stopped him and ordered King out of the car. A group of officers proceeded to kick the 25-year-old repeatedly and club him with batons for around 15 minutes as colleagues watched. The beating left King with a fractured skull, broken bones and permanent brain damage.
A bystander with a home video camera filmed the assault. The tape horrified Kilgore, then in his early 30s and living in Los Angeles, when it was aired on television.
For those fortunate enough to garner a spot in the program, exciting things are on the horizon for the rest of the school year and during the clubs’ summer program.
There is no doubt about it. Television consumption has changed dramatically from where it was twenty years ago. It is super hard to keep an audience’s attention these days with platforms such as Youtube on the rise, as kids and adults alike can simply find their entertainment from a short video, rather than dedicate actual time to invest into a sitcom or episodic adventure. That said, current streaming services are offering more accessible ways to enjoy your favorites from the past, which are indeed getting a boost from nostalgic parents who are passing these shows on through their own kids, in an attempt to keep a few televised legacies alive.
Family, friends and community members gathered in the pews of New Birth Baptist Church on Sunday to honor two men who have shaped the lives of countless youth over their many years in the Paris community.
