I am a supporter of consolidation of schools so that we can better support students with the limited funding we have. Teachers are spread thin and staff shortages are real. At the same time, I do hope to see good proposals to minimize disruption for students with significant needs for support. #ASD

Why is secrecy required? This seems important for Alaskans to be able to review. There is a reason the law says we should be aware the financial health of important utilities in our state. Public comments are due today (10/28)! rca.alaska.gov/RCAWeb/Docke...

“The filings also state that both GCI Liberty & Malone have asked for a waiver that would allow them to keep their financial documents confidential.

Under state law & regulation, those documents would ordinarily be available for public inspection as part of regulators' approval process.” #alaskasky

A morning glory vine grows on a wrought iron railing. Green heart shaped leaves contrast with deep purple trumpet shaped flowers.

Who knew those gorgeous paintings of mums were based on real flowers? #flowers

Red chrysanthemum poms stand out against a background of green and red foliage. Yellow petals stand out against red in the center of each blossom.

#Pottery people, I need your thoughts. This strange bubble (?) formed during the glaze firing (cone 5 electric kiln) at my community studio. This was sea mix clay with Mayco brown engobe. Three layers of Mayco Sea and Sand glaze with a light flux rim. No hint of bubble after bisque firing (cone 04).

A brown ceramic mug lays on its side on a metal surface. A dime sized wart protrudes from the smooth surface of the mug body.
