Grab that Pack, Head to Emmonak

I think it’s time for our governor to sit for a geography lesson. And no, I’m not referring to that now infamous “You can see Alaska from Russia” comment she correctly made a while back because that one’s true. On a clear day, from the shores of Little Diomede island, with the sun just so, [...]

How much electricity does your family use?

Today, like most of you, I received the notice with my utility bill to inform me that there may be a need to institute rolling blackouts due to the increasing electric demands of our community as well as decreased generating capacity from Chugach Energy as a result of strained natural gas supplies in Cook Inlet.

TWILIGHT MOVIE AT THE LIBRARY

I think as CHRISTIANS we should look real close at what they are letting our children watch and do at the public library. Personaly I am shocked . Do you really know much about what goes on down there.I think that since they can show movies like twilight they should be willing to show EXPELLED [...]

Politics of Hate

On Sunday morning, November 2nd, two days before the election, I sat on the “grassy knoll” in Dallas Texas. Although enjoying the warm sunshine, I felt sadness for the history that lingers there still. I had just completed the tour of the “Sixth Floor Museum”, the memorial for and site of the JFK assassination that [...]

I am wondering if any of you are interested in being a part of an
allergy support group. As you may know, our family has had a long hard
struggle with food allergies. It would be nice to have a local support
group here in Seward.
I am open to suggestions, but it could include anyone with any [...]

Let’s say I order the large Greek pizza @ $23.95 and the bikini waxing offered at $35 & [...]

GOOD BEAR HUNTING WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS

I read in the Log a couple of years ago about the bear that was “hunted” up on First Avenue and the outrage that followed. Nothing has changed, last night we got a first hand look at a bear that was “hunted” on Second Avenue, specifically up a tree in our back [...]

Once Bitten, No Longer Shy

Don’t “DISS” the Bear

By Rev. Dr. James R. Stigall
Well, Russia has invaded its former satellite state Georgia. We all realize that something significant is happening … something that goes against the very moral fabric and best interest of liberty throughout the world. However, we also feel powerless to reverse this wave of disrespect for human rights.
Unfortunately, we are [...]

Young Fund Raiser Rattles Seward

When Don Young agreed to attend a private, machine-gun related fund raiser [Photos at www.dorenelorenz.blogspot.com] at the Lorenz-Lindsey property in Seward he seemed to have no idea who he was getting mixed up with.
This is Lorenz’s second Turkey Shoot, though first in the name of Young.

Check Out the City Web Site

I was looking at the city web site this morning and saw a section committed to customer service, how to do business and another section where you can email the city about maintenance and repair.
