Conversations That Matter: Teen Suicide in Alaska
Conversations that Matter: Teen Suicide in Alaska
Suicide is difficult to talk about. But often, the conversations most worth having are the hardest to tackle.
Suicide can close us off from one another. It can divide a family and an entire community. And the suicide problem has reached a level of epidemic in Alaska. With Conversations that Matter, we hope to take the first steps toward opening up about suicide by beginning a statewide dialogue on this important issue.

Plowing through Wind and Rain to see Fall Art
The first weekend in December was the American Bankruptcy Institute’s conference in Palm Springs and Dave’s turn to find an excuse for us to travel. But before driving through California’s desert, we flew into San Francisco to view Pissarro’s People.
Pissarro is considered a father-figure to Impressionists as he empathized with those who wished to take their easels and palettes outdoors observing the sublime of nature - wind, rain and changing light patterns.

After returning to Alaska, I began to search for local volunteer opportunities. A friend told me of the famed Dr. Jill Seaman and her involvement with the nonprofit, the Alaska Sudan Medical Project (ASMP).

My name is Rohan Silbaugh. I am 11 years old and I am traveling with my parents around the world at from my home in Anchorage. We started our trip late in May, 2011 and will return exactly one year later.

The Alaska Porcupine’s Winter in Slow-motion
While running through Bicentennial Park in Anchorage, biologist Jessy Coltrane spotted a porcupine in a birch tree. On her runs on days following, she saw it again and again, in good weather and bad. Over time, she knew which Alaska creature she wanted to study.
“I thought, ‘Oh my god, how does he do it? How does this animal make it through winter?’” Coltrane said during the December defense of her doctoral thesis in Fairbanks.

AK: Aniak Gets Ready for Christmas
We dug into the archives for this story about a Christmas play in Aniak. The village doesn't have a mall, a movie theater or even a sit down restaurant. But in December a few years ago, there was no shortage of entertainment in the community. Most of the town packed into the high school gym for the show.
