Trooper procession this morning in Anchorage and Wasilla

April 3, 2013 by ·
Today a procession will occur for Trooper Tage Toll and Pilot Mel Nading. It starts at the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Anchorage at 10am. It will travel down Boniface and split at the Glenn Highway taking Pilot Mel Nading to Evergreen Funeral Home in Anchorage and Trooper Tage Toll to Heritage Funeral Home in Wasilla. This will likely effect the flow of traffic in Anchorage and the Valley. Motorists, please be respectful and yeild to the procession. Thank you. The support we have recieved has been amazing.
You can post comments and condolences on the Trooper’s Facebook Page.

The helo failed to arrive at the rendezvous point to offload a lost snowmobiler near Talkeenta.

Time running out to file for 2013 PFD Check

Pick. Click. Give. allows you to support Alaska's Arts & Cultural programs. Alaska Permenent Fund 2013

Pick. Click. Give. allows you to easily support Alaska’s Arts & Cultural programs.

I confess, I finally filed for my PFD on Saturday.

Every year I swear I’ll do it right away, but it seems I always have some weird trouble.

This year I learned that I had five MyAlaska User Names! That’s because I’ll get frustrated and sign up by starting all over again.

Here’s an interesting LegHead Report about some of the folks who benefit from the Pick. Click. Give. Program. I got the audio from the PCP website.

And we’re not talking about

1) grasses, trees and rough water

2) money

We’re talking IRISH….

Happy St. Patrick’s Day.
