Gov. Mike Dunleavy announced a pivotal decision on Wednesday that will affect the future of clean hydroelectric power generation, drinking water and fish habitat in the Anchorage area. The governor’s decision sets up three scenarios. Residents should expect at least modest changes to partially restore Eklutna River, though there’s potential for something much more ambitious. First, the default: A partial restoration of what’s now a mostly dry Eklutna River and some former salmon habitat in it.

Eugene Cho walks into a downtown business with a small stack of the latest edition of the Anchorage Korean News in hand. He bought the free, weekly newspaper in January. “안녕하세요” or “Annyeonghaseyo,” he says, greeting Benjamin Kim in Korean. Kim owns the print shop Copy Alaska. He also sells point-of-sale systems that he markets to other Korean business owners in Cho’s newspaper. The shop is one of nearly 100 distribution points for the paper around the city.

Anchorage officials are close to approving a contract to provide private rooms for up to 500 people without homes to use as emergency shelter this winter. That probably sounds familiar. This will be the city’s third winter in a row paying for private rooms to be used as part of a seasonal, winter shelter system. It’s a way to keep people from losing limbs or freezing to death outside, and potentially get vulnerable people on a path to stable housing.

For the last century, generating electricity has been the de facto priority for the water that collects in Eklutna Lake. Successive dams built for hydropower cut salmon off from their spawning grounds in miles of Eklutna River, the lake and its tributaries. Now, parties with competing stakes in that water are several years into a process to rebalance how it’s shared. One major goal of that process is to address the injury the Eklutna Hydroelectric Power Project inflicted on fish.

#PetPeeve: When anyone says they "Will not rest until X" when X is a thing that will obviously take more time to resolve than they can humanly work without rest. I appreciate the sentiment, but like, it always strikes me as a blatant lie. Maybe a robot could say it honestly?
"The odds of the 2024 YR4 asteroid hitting the Earth have increased from 1 percent to 2.3 percent, but experts say this was expected and are not worried about it." I would appreciate it if some experts would worry about this for the rest of us, please. https://t.co/8LD16b0jQS
Sens. Claman and Myers (interesting bedfellows) are trying to bring back the 90-day legislative session by actually putting it in the Alaska Constitution. #Akleg https://t.co/8q4Tf8Vgu4
