Co-Vid celebrations with @WHS_Baseball_AK & @WestHS_Hockey 2020 hasn’t been too bad...

[Coach Ott @CoachOtt04]

We have enough hate and judgment in this world. Be different! Be kind and understanding. Change the world by changing you first. Be so infectiously kind and understanding that is slowly grows from your surroundings and from your surrounding to the world.

@SportsCenter @GerryCallahan @KingJames - Biggest fraud in pro sports. Probably in a hurry to go to the locker room to pretend he's read a single page of Malcolm X' book or an article on Chinese human rights policies. #ClownShow

Sunday is the last day for Alaskans to register to vote on Nov. 3. Here's how to do it at the last minute https://t.co/wLnY78v8nM

a perfect illustration

[Sen. Dan Sullivan @SenDanSullivan]

In my Aug. 24 statement, which I unequivocally stand by, I announced my opposition to Pebble Mine & said it should not be permitted b/c it does not meet the high standards we demand for all resource projects in AK. Any suggestion otherwise is a blatant mischaracterization

[2/3]

[Sen. Dan Sullivan @SenDanSullivan]

Given the lies of Pebble’s leadership, the record needs to be set straight.

I think I speak for coaches and players statewide when I say thank you for all the hard work to promote Alaskan baseball players. Possibly under appreciated, but not unrecognized. Hopefully it’s just “ see your later” and not “goodbye” to the @ReportAlaska ! ⚾️

Here is something very powerful I have learned from having cancer and going through chemo:

I cannot stop it from affecting my body, but I must not allow it to affect my mind.

The mindset I bring to this battle is enormously important.

[John Opinsky @Northernop]

Nice job @AnchoragePolice ! Anchorage feels markedly safer than it did just 18 to 24 months ago. Keep up the good work.

It’s gonna take a big show of passion but also a concise mission statement on HOW this could be done. Lacking a league is a big a hurdle but Curley and Co. would like some time to figure that part out. The time is NOW to act and save the UAA #CawlidgeHawkey team. #SaveSeawolves

[BucciOT.Com @Buccigross]

Jay Beagle of the @Canucks is an alum of UAA. With this granted time, it would be up to the hockey proponents to show that the Seawolves are worth keeping around another 40 years. Alumni and community support and passionate and smart communication to the BOR is vital..

[BucciOT.Com @Buccigross]

They recognize they have a lot lot of work to do as a program. What they want/need is more time to come up with a sustainable plan to demonstrate their ability to be more self sufficient though the committed support alumni & Anchorage community similar to Alabama-Huntsville...

[BucciOT.Com @Buccigross]

The University of Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves are trying to save their hockey program set to be eliminated by a Board Of Regents vote next Thursday. Coach Matt Curley told me tonight they are looking for the BOR to delay their decision for 3-6 months,shooting for late Feb..

[John Opinsky @Northernop]

I’ve told my sons & players for years that giving back to your community by coaching brings many connections that you may not recognize until years after the fact. This past week I heard from a player that I coached in hockey 28 years ago! Be impactful and give back by coaching!

[John Opinsky @Northernop]

@sportsadn (2of2) From a season when opposing coaches offered encouraging words & prayers, this story has brought letters, notes & calls from from people all over, including our 2 US Senators & my brain surgeon calling one evening, proving that Alaska is still a very special place #blessed

[John Opinsky @Northernop]

(1of2) I sometimes lament how much Alaska has changed since I was a kid, back when you always knew someone on your flight, in the grocery store, or saw them at an event.
