Kobuk 440 rerouted after snow and extreme winds pause race
Share on Facebook
Print article The Kobuk 440 Sled Dog Race in Northwest Alaska resumed Monday after dangerous weather paused the race on Sunday and organizers rerouted the course. The conditions caused two veteran mushers, Jeff King of Denali and Nic Petit of Girdwood, to activate their distress signals. Both were withdrawn from the race. “This feels like the most difficult 440 that we’ve ever had, weather-wise,” said Paul Hansen, president of the race. The race was originally set to kick off Thursday in Kotzebue, but many mushers had difficulties reaching the town due to heavy winds, fog and frigid weather, Hansen said. The start was pushed to Friday.

Answer: Volunteering is a great way to give back and support your community. Senior Servicesâ Meals-on-Wheels program is an excellent opportunity for volunteers to not only provide a nutritious meal, but also to form friendships, share warm smiles, and provide a safety check for older adults, many of whom are living alone and having trouble preparing meals during the day.
Just about one year ago, the Meals-on Wheels program, which prided itself on providing hot lunch-time meals to senior participants in the program each weekday, shifted its Meals-on-Wheels delivery process to delivering five frozen meals, once per week in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 and keep participants and volunteers as safe as possible. As the number of COVID-19 cases decrease and the number of people vaccinated increase in our community, Senior Services plans to resume hot, daily meal delivery on Monday, May 3rd. That goal can only be reached with the support of community volunteers

Print article COVID-19 has focused our attention on the plight of students struggling to go to school on the internet. It’s been worse in rural Alaska, where kids have huddled outside closed schools, trying to pick up a Wi-Fi signal to complete their homework assignments. And their parents depend on the internet, too. Like urban folks, they use it to order groceries, clothing and medications. They use it to attend Zoom meetings and, of course, to watch television and movies needed entertainment on a stormy winter night. Like their city friends, rural residents need high-speed internet service. It’s called broadband.

That worked out very well for Texas, didn t it Cog?
Let s pretend Texas SCREWING UP and having no decent regulation, backup plan, etc. to prevent the fiasco which had shown multiple signs of being a problem in other cold snaps in recent decades, means there s no place for free markets.
In reality, the way it works in the first world 99% of the time is a combination of competitive markets AND a modicum of regulation, and while imperfect, the system generally works reasonably well over time. It s called balance, and Texas and Texans should learn about the concept.
