NOTN- Trail Mix, the nonprofit held its annual dinner and auction Nov. 22.
The fundraiser raised over $67,000 to aid in maintaining more than 250 miles of trails in the Juneau area.
The event, featured menu options from Breeze-In and a live auction hosted by Taylor Vidic, who also performed during the event.

“We wrapped up another really incredible season on October 2. We employed over 23 people throughout the season to work on Juneau’s trails. We created an entirely new trail this summer, the Jumbo Reroute. So now you can head up Jumbo Mountain, all starting from Sandy Beach Park.” Said Meghan Tabacek, executive director of Trail Mix in an interview last month, “We were all over the place this summer. There was a lot of stuff to do on the trails, and we had a wonderful season with our crew, and also around 3000 volunteer hours. So really, really great community effort to keep our trails in shape.”
Trail Mix finished other major projects including repairs and upgrades near the Eagle Valley Center in preparation for a cabin installation next summer, and work on popular routes such as Amalga and Montana Creek.
As winter approaches, Trail Mix staff have been racing to finish trail assessments and preparations for next year’s season. While the bulk of their workforce is seasonal, two trail coordinators operate year-round, handling repairs and planning.
This year’s auction focused on expanding tools and equipment for the nonprofit’s volunteer program.
“Our big pitch this year at our auction is that our volunteer program has grown so much. We did 3000 volunteer hours, so we are fundraising to purchase a trailer and a set of tools that goes specifically out to our volunteer program.” Tabacek said.
Trail Mix’s work and volunteer sign-ups can be found at trailmixinc.org.

It was no surprise that everyone on the timber panel at this month’s Alaska Resource Development Council conference had the same message: The industry needs a larger supply of trees to cut.
And a steady, bankable supply, said Joe Young, of Tok, who started Young’s Timber in Alaska’s Interior more than 30 years ago.
Without long-term timber sales to supply a mill, “bankers will laugh you out of the room” when a mill owner asks for a business loan, Young said.
The Nov. 13 industry panel at the annual conference held in Anchorage also talked about demand for their product and the challenges in meeting that demand.
Juneau attorney Jim Clark, who has spent much of his life representing timber and wood pulp companies, said the Trump administration’s move to rescind the Roadless Rule, which has been around since 2001, could help open areas of the Tongass National Forest to logging.
The ban on road building has bounced between presidential administrations, like a ping pong ball, Clark said. “We’ll see if we can get this over with,” he said of the U.S. Department of Agriculture effort to rescind the rule, which will require an environmental impact statement.
In addition to the Tongass, the Roadless Rules affects tens of millions of acres of national forest lands in western states.
The lack of timber sales, financial pressures and opposition from conservation groups have knocked down Alaska timber industry jobs from almost 4,000 in 1990 to about 700 in 2015 and just 360 in 2024, according to Alaska Department of Labor statistics.
The timber industry in Southeast is getting only one-third of the log supply it needs, said Sarah Dahlstrom, public relations manager for Viking Lumber, which has operated a sawmill in Klawock for about 30 years.
Viking, the second-largest employer on Prince of Wales Island, needs more timber sales on federal, state and municipal lands, she said, contending that the U.S. Forest Service has failed to meet its commitment under a 2016 land management plan.
The mill cuts Sitka spruce, hemlock, red and yellow cedar, Dahlstrom said, and is a leading supplier of wood for piano soundboards and guitars.
“Steinway pianos would not exist if not for old-growth timber from the Tongass,” she said.
In addition to supplying the prized, tight-grain wood to Steinway & Sons’ factory in New York City, Viking supplies piano makers Kawai and Yamaha, and guitar manufacturers Gibson and Martin.
Steinway is worried enough about its wood supply that the company has written Alaska elected officials to advocate for the mill. “We use the top 1% of the top 1% of spruce,” company Chief Executive Ben Steiner told The Wall Street Journal this summer.
Dahlstrom said there are other small operators on Prince of Wales Island, cutting wood for pianos and musical instruments. And they all have the same problem of insufficient and unpredictable supply.
Viking also supplies manufacturers of doors, trim, fences, staircases, railing and window trim nationwide.
She complimented efforts by Wrangell Borough Manager Mason Villarma, who has been working to coordinate timber sales on the island between the state Department of Natural Resources, Alaska Mental Health Trust land office and the borough.
“I was born into a timber family,” she said of her dad and uncle, who built a mill in Hoquiam, Washington, more than 40 years ago, milling timber from the Olympic National Forest. She said she was not happy when her family moved to Klawock in 1994 and her dad and uncle took over the bankrupt mill.
In addition to lumber and boards, Viking sends wood chips south to be used in making corrugated boxes and supplies chips to the Craig School District which burns the wood waste to generate electricity and heat the swimming pool.
“Growing up, I didn’t know how cool it was,” she said of the industry she now calls home after resisting it when she was younger.

Gov. Mike Dunleavy has appointed state Reps. George Rauscher, R-Sutton, and Cathy Tilton, R-Wasilla, to two vacancies in the Alaska Senate.
Each nomination will become effective if at least five of the Senate’s nine other Republicans approve them. Senate President Gary Stevens, R-Kodiak, said the votes will take place by secret ballot at 10 a.m. Saturday in Anchorage.
“Honestly, I think both of them are excellent candidates,” Stevens said on Wednesday, adding that he expects both to be confirmed.
If Rauscher and Tilton are confirmed, their House seats would become vacant, and Dunleavy would be required to appoint replacements within 30 days of their resignations.

Dunleavy’s picks were due no more than 30 days after their resignations, but he acted earlier, which will allow the replacement legislators to take office before the regular legislative session convenes in January.
“I can’t think of two Alaskans more qualified and committed to public service to serve in the Alaska Senate than Representatives Rauscher and Tilton,” Dunleavy said in a statement announcing the selections. “I have known and worked with both for as long as I have been in public office and I look forward to working collaboratively with them as senators. I also want to thank the local Republican district committees for taking the time to meet, deliberate, and send forward names for these seats. This process works best when the people closest to the communities are involved.”
Tilton, first elected to the House in 2014, was Speaker of the House from 2023 through 2024. Reached by phone on Wednesday in the middle of Thanksgiving shopping, she referred to a statement on her Facebook page.
“I look forward to collaborating with my Senate colleagues to advance sensible policy solutions, foster an energy renaissance, and usher in an era of renewed prosperity for all Alaskans,” the statement said in part.

Rauscher said he’s already at work on a letter thanking Dunleavy for his appointment, but he declined to say what he thinks his confirmation chances are.
“It’s an honor,” Rauscher said of the appointment, “and I feel like it was quite the undertaking — the process — and to have it this close to seeing what the final outcome is, is always a relief in some ways, but it’s also very exciting that I am this close. So I appreciate the fact that the governor did consider me and thought highly enough of me to appoint me.”
Several senators said they expect Rauscher and Tilton to be confirmed, but each declined to say how he or she will vote, citing the need to work with them regardless.
Of the nine Republican senators who will be voting on this weekend’s confirmations, five are members of the Senate’s bipartisan majority caucus, and four are members of the Senate’s all-Republican minority.
Shower and Hughes were members of the House minority, and their replacements are expected to be as well.
Stevens said he’s conducting the confirmation vote by secret ballot in order to avoid the possibility of hurt feelings.
“I don’t want to have anybody have bad feelings when we start working together in January,” he said.
Stevens said he wants to give the House’s replacement process as much time as possible, since that will involve the appointment of two people new to the Legislature who will need to hire staff and uproot their lives in order to arrive in Juneau in January and be ready to work.
“I just want to make sure the House has all the time they need,” he said.

Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski denounced the Trump administration’s targeting of Arizona Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly on Tuesday, saying on social media that its actions are “reckless and flat-out wrong.”
“Senator Kelly valiantly served our country as an aviator in the U.S. Navy before later completing four space shuttle missions as a NASA astronaut,” Murkowski said. “To accuse him and other lawmakers of treason and sedition for rightfully pointing out that servicemembers can refuse illegal orders is reckless and flat-out wrong. The Department of Defense and FBI surely have more important priorities than this frivolous investigation.”
It has become unusual for elected Republican officials to speak in defense of elected Democrats, particularly when it places them at odds with President Donald Trump, who remains popular among Republican voters, even if his approval overall is low.
Alaska Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan previously expressed concerns about the possible politicization of the military during the presidency of Democrat Joe Biden.
Asked about the situation with Kelly, Sullivan criticized the Democratic video and the administration’s response to it.
“The Democrats in the video have offered no explanation of what they considered to be an illegal order, sowing confusion and politicizing the ranks in a way that risks undermining military discipline, lethality and readiness,” his office said in a written statement.
The statement went on to say that “he does not believe it is a good use of the Pentagon’s time to investigate Senator Kelly” because “such an investigation has the potential to turn into a major distraction for our military.”
The office of Rep. Nick Begich, R-Alaska, did not return a text message or email seeking comment.
Sullivan’s office requested that his statement be printed in full. Because it has not been published elsewhere, we think there is news value in reprinting it, so it is published below.
“Senator Sullivan strongly disagreed with many actions taken by the Pentagon under Presidents Obama and Biden — such as President Biden’s use of enlisted Marines as political props standing behind him in a very partisan speech in Philadelphia in 2022. But he would never have put out a video — like the one released by Senator Mark Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers — implying that troops should question orders from their superiors. The Democrats in the video have offered no explanation of what they considered to be an illegal order, sowing confusion and politicizing the ranks in a way that risks undermining military discipline, lethality and readiness.
Instead of using our troops as political pawns, members of Congress should press top Pentagon officials directly on issues over which they have concerns. Senator Sullivan does this regularly in Senate Armed Services Committee hearings and in meetings and phone calls with top Pentagon leaders regardless of which party controls the White House.
While Senator Sullivan believes the message in the video was irresponsible and politically driven, he does not believe it is a good use of the Pentagon’s time to investigate Senator Kelly — who served honorably in the Navy — under the UCMJ, particularly given that the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause would likely take precedence over any UCMJ provision. Such an investigation has the potential to turn into a major distraction for our military. After four years of Biden’s woke military, the Department of War needs to stay laser focused on lethality and war fighting.”
The U.S. government has caused massive food waste during President Donald Trump’s second term. Policies such as immigration raids, tariff changes and temporary and permanent cuts to food assistance programs have left farmers short of workers and money, food rotting in fields and warehouses, and millions of Americans hungry. And that doesn’t even include the administration’s actual destruction of edible food.
Yet, huge amounts of food – on average in the U.S., as much as 40% of it – rots before being eaten. That amount is equivalent to 120 billion meals a year: more than twice as many meals as would be needed to feed those 47 million hungry Americans three times a day for an entire year.
As a scholar of wasted food, I have watched this problem worsen since Trump began his second term in January 2025. Despite this administration’s claim of streamlining the government to make its operations more efficient, a range of recent federal policies have, in fact, exacerbated food wastage.

Immigration policy
Supplying fresh foods, such as fruits, vegetables and dairy, requires skilled workers on tight timelines to ensureripeness, freshness and high quality.
The Trump administration’s widespread efforts to arrest and deport immigrants have sent Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Border Patrol and other agencies into hundreds of agricultural fields, meat processing plants and food production and distribution sites. Supported by billions of taxpayer dollars, they have arrested thousands of food workers and farmworkers – with lethal consequences at times.
Dozens of raids have not only violated immigrants’ human rights and torn families apart: They have jeopardized the national food supply. Farmworkers already work physically hard jobs for low wages. In legitimate fear for their lives and liberty, reports indicate that in some places 70% of people harvesting, processing and distributing food stopped showing up to work by mid-2025.
When the Trump administration all but shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development in early 2025, the agency had 500 tons of ready-to-eat, high-energy biscuitsworth US$800,000, stored to distribute to starving people around the world who had been displaced by violence or natural disasters. With no staff to distribute the biscuits, they expired while sitting in a warehouse in Dubai.
Though the soybeans were intended to feed the Chinese pig industry, not humans, the specter of waste looms both in terms of the potential spoilage of soybeans and the actual human food that could have been grown in their place.
Since taking office, the second Trump administration has taken many steps aimed at efficiency that actually boosted food waste. Mass firings of food safety personnel risks even more outbreaks of foodborne diseases, tainted imports, and agricultural pathogens – which can erupt into crises requiring mass destruction, for instance, of nearly 35,000 turkeys with bird flu in Utah.
In addition, the administration canceled a popular program that helped schools and food banks buy food from local farmers, though many of the crops had already been planted when the cancellation announcement was made. That food had to find new buyers or risk being wasted, too. And the farmers were unable to count on a key revenue source to keep their farms afloat.
Also, the administration slashed funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency that helped food producers, restaurants and households recover from disasters – including restoring power to food-storage refrigeration.
The fall 2025 government shutdown left the government’s major food aid program, SNAP, in limbo for weeks, derailing communities’ ability to meet their basic needs. Grocers, who benefit substantially from SNAP funds, announced discounts for SNAP recipients – to help them afford food and to keep food supplies moving before they rotted. The Department of Agriculture ordered them not to, saying SNAP customers must pay the same prices as other customers.
Food waste did not start with the Trump administration. But the administration’s policies – though they claim to be seeking efficiency – have compounded voluminous waste at a time of growing need. This Thanksgiving, think about wasted food – as a problem, and as a symptom of larger problems.

Jordan’s speaking about his wife’s affair, his own behavior, and then even more about his wife’s affair.

Jordan and Jessi Ngatikaura are still processing a lot
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives viewers are all too aware that Jessi Ngatikaura and Marciano Brunette hooked up.
In 2024, they were both on Vanderpump Villa.
There, the two shared a kiss.
After the fact, Jessi and Marciano continued their entanglement by texting each other.
However, she has adamantly denied ever having sex with him. There was kissing and clearly an emotional and verbal affair, but she says that that’s it.
On ‘The Viall Files,’ Jordan Ngatikaura didn’t seem to make a lot of personal progress. (Image Credit: YouTube)
The affair was not the only issue in the Ngatikaura marriage.
In fact, it may have simply been the result of other problems.
Jessi has accused Jordan of emotional abuse.
That was a big deal during Season 3 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. It’s also a big deal in a marriage. You need to be nice to your partner.
They share 5-year-old Jagger and 2-year-old Jovi. But having children doesn’t keep a marriage strong or healthy — it just makes having a non-toxic relationship more important.
Now, Jordan is speaking publicly — about all of it
Speaking to podcast host Nick Viall, he made it clear that he has a lot of complex feelings about his wife, his own behavior, and his new role as a “social media personality” alongside Jessi.
“My plan is just to focus on my family,” Jordan emphasized.
“All these people online can chirp all day,” he added dismissively.
“There’s going to be people that hate me and there’s gonna be people that hate her,” Jordan acknowledged. “There’s going to be a really big broad spectrum of what people think about what they’ve been able to see.”
Are Jessi Ngatikaura and Jordan Ngatikaura going to make it as a couple? Should they? (Image Credit: YouTube)
“I think the best thing that I can do in that instead of being pissed off,” Jordan suggested, “it’s to remember that that’s in the past.”
He affirmed: “What we’re doing now is what matters and turning into one another and not away from one another.”
Jordan admitted that it felt “really eye-opening” to watch his own behavior play back for him on television.
This is not an uncommon statement to hear from new reality TV personalities. (Anyone else thinking of Emily Simpson and her husband Shane after their first season on RHOC?)
Yes, reality television can drive couples apart. But it can also provide a mirror through which a person can see their own toxic behavior.

The interview was interesting, but didn’t really go anywhere
Interestingly, Jordan Ngatikaura did acknowledge that Jessi and Marciano likely never would have locked lips if he had made different choices.
However, he also continued to bring up the affair throughout the podcast episode.
One can only guess who Jessi felt. Certainly, Nick seemed irritated. Harping upon your partner’s mistake to deflect from a conversation about your own is a not a good look.
Seeing the way that Jordan bristled when Jessi described how her social media and reality TV work has provided for her family, it became clear that Jordan is still reeling from not having his former job.
If Jordan chooses, he can work on himself and fix himself. It might not be too late for the Ngatikaura marriage. It probably should be, though.
We have sad news to report from the world of fashion today:
Fashion designer Pam Hogg — whose eccentric looks have been worn by stars like Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Kate Moss — has passed away at the age of 66.
News of Hogg’s passing comes courtesy of an Instagram post penned by her loved ones.

Pam Hogg’s friends and family pay tribute
“The Hogg Family is deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Pamela,” the post begins.
“We are grateful in the knowledge that her final hours were peaceful and surrounded by the loving care of cherished friends and family.
We wish to thank all the staff of St Joseph’s Hospice, Hackney for the beautiful support they provided for Pamela in her final days,” Hogg’s loved ones continued, adding:
“Pamela’s creative spirit and body of work touched the lives of many people of all ages and she leaves a magnificent legacy that will continue to inspire, bring joy and challenge us to live beyond the confines of convention.

“Pamela will continue to live in our hearts and minds. A glorious life lived and loved.”
No cause of death has been given, but the fact that Pam’s loved ones thanked hospital and hospice staff has led many to the conclusion that her death was not unexpected.
A brilliant career cut short
Born in Paisely, Scotland, Pam studied at the Glasgow School of Art and rose to prominence in the UK in 1981, not long after launching her first collection.
Across social media today, friends, family, and a legion of adoring fans are paying tribute to this late fashion icon.
“Pam. Oh Pam. What a joy it was to know you. I’ll miss you Pam,” wrote TV personality Fearne Cotton, according to the BBC.
“Love you Pam you were so strong right to the end our warrior queen,” menswear designer Kim Jones added.

“How sad to think of the fashion world without her shining brilliance,” Game of Thrones actress Gwendoline Christie chimed in.
Garbage singer Shirley Manson remembered Hogg as “our revered Scottish fashion queen,” adding:
“The brilliance and the bravery and the extraordinary, explosive sense of humour that perpetually burled you forth with tremendous force.
“The Iconoclastic and fantastic Dr Hogg may have left the runway but you will be found in the long and storied history of British fashion and in the imaginative, pioneering work of each and every fashion designer who trails in your wake.”
Our thoughts go out to Pam Hogg’s loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
A shocking scene is unfolding in our nation’s capital right now:
According to reports from numerous outlets, several people — including two members of the National Guard — were shot on Wednesday afternoon.
The shooting took place just blocks from the White House. The two Guardsmen were initially reported as deceased, but we now know that they’re being treated at nearby hospitals.

National Guard troops have been stationed in Washington, DC, for the past several months as part of President Donald Trump’s anti-crime crackdown.
Similar measures have been taken in other cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles, and Memphis.
In many neighborhoods, troops have been met with resistance stemming from the widespread belief that federal troops should not be deployed against US citizens.
We do not know if the violence that erupted today was in any way connected to those protests.

Details are scarce at this time, but White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt briefly addressed the matter during today’s briefing.
“The White House is aware and actively monitoring this tragic situation,” Leavitt said (via CNN), adding:
“The President has been briefed.”
President Trump addressed today’s developments moments ago on his Truth Social accounts:
“The animal that shot the two National Guardsmen, with both being critically wounded, and now in two separate hospitals, is also severely wounded, but regardless, will pay a very steep price,” Trump wrote (in a post that was also shared on the official White House X account), adding:

“God bless our Great National Guard, and all of our Military and Law Enforcement. These are truly Great People. I, as President of the United States, and everyone associated with the Office of the Presidency, am with you!”
West Virginia governor Patrick Morrissey has confirmed that both Guardsmen were West Virginia residents.
“It is with great sorrow that we can confirm both members of the West Virginia National Guard who were shot earlier today in Washington, DC have passed away from their injuries,” Morrisey said on Wednesday afternoon (via ABC News).
“These brave West Virginians lost their lives in the service of their country. We are in ongoing contact with federal officials as the investigation continues,” he continued, adding:
“Our entire state grieves with their families, their loved ones, and the Guard community. West Virginia will never forget their service or their sacrifice, and we will demand full accountability for this horrific act,” Morrisey said.
He later revised his statement to clarify that both Guardsmen are still alive.
The violence in Washington unfolds as millions of Americans are traveling to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends.
It may be quite some time before we have any idea of the shooter’s identity or motives, and the shooting is likely to contribute to the already divisive political climate across the US.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
We have sad news to report from the world of music today:

Ronson appeared in multiple films, and as a model, he posed for designers like Isaac Mizrahi.
He was a well-known figure in Los Angeles, and he merited multiple mentions in Mark Ronson’s recent memoir.
The producer and musician described Ethan as “the real deal — with an angular face and soulful gaze that seemed to reveal his deepest truths, even from a glossy page.”
Jackson enjoyed a close relationship with his eldest son and often spoke highly of him in interviews.

“I only had two things that I hoped I could fit together: being a songwriter and a father,” he told Route magazine in 2021.
“And I looked at it like this, if I have to only be a father, I hope I’ll know it, and just do that. “
In 2023, Jackson praised Ethan’s parenting skills in an interview with Tru Rock magazine.
“Ethan is a great father. He’s a great son, a great man,” Browne said.
“I love seeing him with his kids. When I see him in his movies, modeling, with his daughter, and being such a great dad, it makes me very proud. It makes me feel I’ve done something really right in my life.”
Our thoughts go out to Ethan Browne’s loved ones at this enormously difficult time.
Donald Trump’s health has been a consistent news item during his second term as president, and the latest rumors have to do with the way he’s been walking.
