Musk oxen mosey from the hilltops to the tundra in the springtime to feed on lower vegeta- tion. People who live in areas thick with alder and willow plants are in a great position for viewing musk oxen, and a potentially hazardous po- sition for carrying out daily tasks. Musk oxen are territorial crea- tures. “Their whole defensive idea is based on standing their ground,” Claudia Ihl said. Ihl is the Assistant Professor of Biology at the Univer- sity of Alaska Northwest Campus. Musk oxen don’t run from loud noises like caribou or moose do. In fact, shouting and crowding a musk ox may only agitate it, she said. Hughes said it depends on the musk ox. “Some will move, some won’t.” Air horns and vehicles are unreliable as deterrents. In groups, musk oxen ball up in a defensive position when their terri- tory is encroached on, Hughes said. When a single musk ox is agitated, it sways. Occasionally it will snort. “Sometimes they’ll paw at the ground,” she said, “swinging that head.” Musk oxen could charge, whether they are alone or in a herd. They are built like muscle cars. They are bulky but they can run. “They don’t run very fast or for very long,” Hughes said, but they pick up speed at an alarming rate. A musk ox’s top speed is about 37 mph. Musk oxen don’t have many nat- ural predators. Humans, grizzly bears and wolves, close relatives of our do- mestic canine pals, are the musk oxen’s only real threats. This may ex- plain their unrestrained hatred for dogs. When confronted by a musk ox, figuring out what to do can be tricky. “First I’d take my dog inside,” Ihl said. Musk oxen have been known to do gruesome things to dogs. “Some- times a dog can just be sitting there,” Hughes said. “The musk ox just has a chip on its shoulder and decides to go after it.” Fences are the first line of defense for pets. “If you have the ability, put them in a chain link or some sort of fenced area,” Hughes suggested. Fences wont keep musk oxen out, she warned, but it will slow them down. “They don’t really care too much for water,” Hughes said. While musk oxen enjoy wading in pools, sprin- klers and hoses will turn them away. Spraying water is how musk oxen are removed from the airport runway, Hughes said. Cutting back the delicious habitat vegetation in residential areas is an- other method of containment. Ihl thinks that hunting musk oxen will provide a long-term solution to 10 THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 2012 LOCAL THE NOME NUGGET

Governor Signs Alaska Native Language Bill Last week, Governor Sean Parnell attended the Rural Providers Confer- ence in Dillingham, where he signed Senate Bill 130, which will establish an Alaska Native Language Preservation and Advisory Council. The council will assess the state of Alaska Native languages, re-evaluate the programs, and make recommendations to establish new programs or reorganize existing programs, as well as identify resources to seek cost effective projects in com- munities where restoration is most needed. “Without language preservation, a culture dies,” Governor Parnell said. “As Alaskans, we honor and celebrate our traditional cultures. The state will join with Alaskans to make sure these languages live on.” Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the Bill Signing Ceremony in Dilling- ham at the Rural Providers Conference on May 28th. Because we have so many supporters based in Anchorage, such as the First Alaskans Institute, the Alaska Native Heritage Center, and the Alaska Federation of Natives to name a few, it was decided another ceremony on the passage of the bill will be held in Anchorage at the Alaska Native Heritage Center on June 14 from 12:30pm to 2:30pm. We hope you will be able to join as supporters of this bill. I am saddened to learn Governor Parnell will not be able to attend this ceremony. However I’m delighted that Lt. Governor Mead Treadwell and former Senator Georgiana Lincoln will be joining me celebrating the passage of the Alaska Native Language Preservation and Advisory Council. I was hoping Representative Alan Dick would be able to attend since he sponsored our companion bill and I appreciate his support in the House of Representa- tives expediting the movement of the bill. I’m looking forward to the cele- bration, and I greatly appreciate the Alaska Native Heritage Center for hosting this gathering. Back in the 21st Legislative Session, former Senator Georgianna Lincoln sponsored a bill that addressed Native languages in schools. The measure mandates that school districts in which a majority of students are Alaska Na- tives shall establish a local Native language curriculum advisory board. If an advisory board recommends the establishment of a Native language curricu- lum, the school board in that district may initiate and implement such a cur- riculum. I feel confident the establishment of the advisory council will build on efforts and assist Alaskans in restoring and preserving our first languages in and outside of the classroom. Redistricting Update The Redistricting process continues. We’ve heard a lot of news about the proposed maps being challenged on reasonable and convincing arguments that they are unfair to Democrats and seem to favor conservative boundary lines. The maps pitted several Democrats against each other which can have a huge negative impact the amount of democratic and Alaska Native repre- sentation in the state. The Redistricting process is not final due to some challenges to the bound- ary lines. The Supreme Court has approved the Amended Proclamation Plan above be considered for an Interim Plan for the next two years. The Depart- ment of Justice has 60 days to either approve or reject the proposed Interim Plan. It has been an honor to represent Senate District T.

Department of Transportation and Public Facilities on aviation issues and consults with the commissioner on the selection of chief administrative offi- cers of Anchorage and Fairbanks international airports, which comprise the Alaska International Airport System. Ryan, of Unalakleet, is an airline captain from a family with long expe- rience in Alaska aviation. He is chief pilot for Ryan Air, Inc., which was founded by his grandfather in 1953 and later run by his father. Ryan has logged more than 3,500 hours of flight time. He was a delegate to the Con- ference of Young Alaskans in 2006, is a member of the Arctic Winter Games Team Alaska, and has served on the Inuit Circumpolar Youth Conference’s executive council. Ryan earned a bachelor’s degree in business administra- tion from the University of Alaska in 2004. He has served on the board since 2006, and is reappointed to a seat representing Northwest and Arctic Alaska. Having met Lee Ryan on several occasions during session in Juneau, I support the Governor in Ryan’s appointment. I wish Lee Ryan the best of luck and being a fellow pilot myself, I am confident he will be a great asset to the Aviation Advisory Board. Congratulations to Lee Ryan in his new seat.
