In Barrow, Alaska, it all begins with a euphoric voice over a crackling radio: "Hey, hey, hey!"
The signal from an Inupiat whaling captain in a
tiny boat on the grey waters of the Chukchi Sea is heard in nearly every
home of this frozen town as far north as you can go in the United
States, and its meaning is clearly understood.
A bowhead whale - one of the oldest and largest mammals on earth - has been caught.

For those of you who have been to Curlew just south of Canada in Ferry County Washington you'll recognize in the very center of this picture below in black-and-white is the little church on the hill or chapel on the hill as we call it. Chapel on the hill was originally my name. John Stotts of Stotts construction didn't mind me calling it that and the name stuck. The chapel was originally dedicated to one of John Stotts's relatives is now dedicated to two of his relatives having passed away. One time I drove up the hill. It is up from here on out you can't tell. One time I drove up the hill to find a border patrol man sleeping. Upon hearing my car he quickly awakened and put the binoculars to his eyes looking over the horizon. He then put them down looked at me through the open window and said you didn't see me sleeping did you? I said of course not. We both laughed.

The Spokane Police Department received multiple reports of Hensz driving recklessly throughout north Spokane.
At one point, an officer reported seeing the suspect vehicle drive by in excess of 100 miles per hour and nearly strike the officer's vehicle.
The incident ended near the intersection of Post and Montgomery. Shots were fired, life-saving measures were immediately rendered, and the suspect was transported to the hospital.
One Spokane Police officer at the scene was wearing a body camera. The body camera was not activated during the incident.

Everyone who bowed out of the Politico group so I could get the name
changed, it has been done. Part of the way I accomplished this was by
removing people that were listed as invited as opposed to added because I
interpreted this to mean that those who had been invited hadn't
actually joined the group. If I am mistaken in this and you find that
you were removed and did not want to be, I apologize. If you'd like to
rejoin I'll get everyone re added, Thanks. https://www.facebook.com/groups/614452651984006/
ATTENTION HOMESCHOOL FAMILIES AND ANYONE INTERESTED IN ALTERNATIVE LEARNING!
I am working with Republic Superintendent John Glenewinkle to create a homeschool program for interested families. At this time, we are pulling together family's that have an interest in a home-based or alternative education program that would be organized through and funded by the Republic School District.
Our goal, if enough interest exists, is to develop an experience-based education platform that would service K-12 within Ferry County (and potentially beyond). The desire is to develop a new school within Republic School District that will offer an out-of-classroom education system all while ensuring students have access to state-certified teachers, education materials and resources, and a state-recognized diploma at graduation.
