Thank yous and political endorsements A Look at the Past are considered ads. Editorial Whatʼs Best for Alaska

Whoʼs the right person to represent Alaska in the U.S. Senate? Weʼre obliged to exercise our privilege to vote this coming Tuesday. Itʼs a responsibility to which we need to give careful consideration. Do we get involved in a Republican family feud? Do we go for the reactionary Tea Party–endorsed Republican Joe Miller, who wants to cut the rich guysʼ taxes and take away federal programs we have worked hard to obtain? Never mind Millerʼs personal abuses of the system. Do we do a write-in vote for Lisa Murkowski who is a standard conservative Re- publican who voted the party line against the stimulus package which funds Norton Soundʼs new hospital? Her own party dumped her for Miller and she has close ties to Nome. Her motherʼs baby blanket is enshrined on the wall at Old St. Joeʼs Hall. Do we vote for Scott McAdams, the moderate Democrat from Southeast who understands the needs of Alaskan communities located off the road system, away from Anchorage and the Rail Belt? McAdams is well grounded in the issues, communicates well and has an ability to identify with real Alaskans. It would be so great to have a senator with Alaskaʼs best interest at heart. Weʼve been subjected to biased political surveys that tilt so far to the right that they trip over themselves as they go ʻround the bend. Weʼve been slammed with TV ads paid for by outside interests we donʼt know and probably would not want to know. Weʼve had spelling lessons instead of issues information. Weʼve had polling place write- in shenanigans. Weʼve been treated as if we are dim-witted and canʼt see past the smoke and mirrors. We are told lies that when repeated often enough are still lies.

P. O. Box 281 • Nome, AK 99762 Policy & Procedures (Phone) 907-443-6600 • (Fax) 907-443-5349 Listed below are the prioritized actions that the City of Nome will undertake during the 2010-2011 snow season. These actions are meant as a guide and DO NOT commit the City to any course of action other than that which is deemed to be in the best interests of safety and City resources. I. During major blizzards and ground storms, City crews will stand by and only attempt to open streets as required in emergency situations. II. Once the storm has abated, every effort will be made to open fire lanes (one lane) on every street in town. III. Once fire lanes have been established, crews will begin to open major (school bus) routes to two lanes of traffic. Streets identified as priority are: • East and West 5th Ave. • East 1st Ave. • West 2nd Ave. • West E Street • East K Street • Icy View Loop • East N Street • Steadman Street IV. Once major routes have been opened to two lanes of traffic, crews will begin opening the remaining streets to two lanes of traffic. V. Once all streets have been opened to two lanes of traffic, crews will systematically begin to widen, clean and haul snow to designated snow storage sites. Service areas will be rotated in order that all areas of town receive equal treatment during this clean up. VI. Sanding of select streets will be performed by ADOT. Other streets will be sanded when conditions warrant and resources allow. VII. The major snow storage for the City of Nome will be: The snow storage site located off the By-pass road. Once again these plans are meant as a guide. We will take actions contrary to this plan as necessary. We urge citizens of Nome to help us keep the streets safe and usable. Some things that will help our efforts are: • Cars should be parked off the rights-of-way as much as possible during the clearing and removal of snow; • Obstructions (buildings, dog houses, snow machines, 4-wheelers, trash boxes, etc.) that prevent removal of snow should be moved farther on to private property if at all possible; • Be alert to the area of town in which we are working and, if at all possible, keep parked cars and traffic to a minimum in these areas; • Pushing of snow into the public right-of-way after a street has been cleared is discouraged. After hours, on weekends and holidays, City crews will be on-call as needed. Due to the limited resources within the City, local contractors will be uti- lized to provide additional manpower and equipment as necessary. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Public Works Dept. at 443-5653.

For over 20 years, the temporary dual management fix has caused cha- grin to Alaska Native groups. The state manages subsistence on state and privately owned lands. Alaska Native Corporation land and other Native allotments fall under this cat- egory and are managed by the state. With no indication that the state of Alaska will change its position and amend the state constitution to allow a rural preference, the AFN board pressed for changes on the federal level. AFN president Julie Kitka said in an interview during the annual convention that the current system in place wasn’t meant to be permanent. “So, the problem is that for the past 20 years its been a temporary sys- tem,” Kitka said. “It was not sup- posed to be permanent.
