Gold Creek Flume Trail Construction ???? Juneau Alaska
Gold Creek Flume Trail ????
The Gold Creek Flume, built in the early 1900s, is showing its age.
According to AEL&P, shifting and settling of the structure has caused leakage, reduced efficiency, and raised safety concerns.
Due to this, AEL&P will be refurbishing the flume in 2019 and 2020. AEL&P’s goal is to maintain the historic project while ensuring safe and reliable conditions that allow us to provide renewable energy to Juneau customers, as well as allow CBJ Parks and Rec to preserve recreational access.
Between the months of April and September, the flume will be closed to recreational access while repairs are underway. To ensure safety, please observe all notices and stay clear of all closed areas.

Ketchikan Alaska Settlers Cove Rainforest Tour
This video showcases the lush rainforest of the Settlers Cove State Park located at one end of the main road in Ketchikan, Alaska. Most if not all tour buses miss this gem of a destination so it ought not to be crowded when you visit...and it's well worth the visit. As you walk through the rainforest paths it feels like some sort of mystical creature like a troll, elf or hobbit will be poking its head around a tree at any moment. Everything is lush and green, which I suppose is not surprising considering that Ketchikan is evidently the rainiest place in Alaska. The beach area of the park is supposed to be a great place to spot bald eagles, although we didn't see any here during our visit. As you can see from the video, the trees in this Alaskan rainforest are massive, with some probably as wide as a smart car. If you like this Ketchikan Alaska Settlers Cove Rainforest Tour video then make sure to give it a thumbs up!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The City and Borough of Juneau ( JOO-noh; Tlingit: Dzánti K'ihéeni [ˈtsántʰì kʼìˈhíːnì]), commonly known as Juneau, is the capital city of Alaska. It is a unified municipality on Gastineau Channel in the Alaskan panhandle, and it is the second largest city in the United States by area. Juneau has been the capital of Alaska since 1906, when the government of what was the District of Alaska was moved from Sitka as dictated by the U.S. Congress in 1900. The municipality unified on July 1, 1970, when the city of Juneau merged with the city of Douglas and the surrounding Greater Juneau Borough to form the current municipality, which is larger by area than both Rhode Island and Delaware.
Downtown Juneau (58°18′07″N 134°25′11″W) is nestled at the base of Mount Juneau and across the channel from Douglas Island. As of the 2010 census, the City and Borough had a population of 31,276. In 2014, the population estimate from the United States Census Bureau was 32,406, making it the second most populous city in Alaska after Anchorage. Fairbanks, however, is the state's second most populous metropolitan area, with roughly 100,000 residents. Juneau's daily population can increase by roughly 6,000 people from visiting cruise ships between the months of May and September.
The city is named after a gold prospector from Quebec, Joe Juneau, though the place was for a time called Rockwell and then Harrisburg (after Juneau's co-prospector, Richard Harris). The Tlingit name of the town is Dzántik'i Héeni (Base of the Flounder’s River, dzánti ‘flounder,’ –kʼi ‘base,’ héen ‘river’), and Auke Bay just north of Juneau proper is called Áak'w (Little lake, áa ‘lake,’ -kʼ ‘diminutive’) in Tlingit. The Taku River, just south of Juneau, was named after the cold t'aakh wind, which occasionally blows down from the mountains.
Juneau is unusual among U.S. capitals (except Honolulu, Hawaii) in that there are no roads connecting the city to the rest of Alaska or to the rest of North America (although ferry service is available for cars). The absence of a road network is due to the extremely rugged terrain surrounding the city. This in turn makes Juneau a de facto island city in terms of transportation, since all goods coming in and out must go by plane or boat, in spite of the city being on the Alaskan mainland. Downtown Juneau sits at sea level, with tides averaging 16 feet (5 m), below steep mountains about 3,500 feet (1,100 m) to 4,000 feet (1,200 m) high. Atop these mountains is the Juneau Icefield, a large ice mass from which about 30 glaciers flow; two of these, the Mendenhall Glacier and the Lemon Creek Glacier, are visible from the local road system. The Mendenhall glacier has been gradually retreating; its front face is declining in width and height.
The Alaska State Capitol in downtown Juneau was built as the Federal and Territorial Building in 1931. Prior to statehood, it housed federal government offices, the f ...
Ketchikan, AK. Totem Bight Park tour
The first people of Alaska have carved totem poles as part of their culture. The meanings and interpretation of the poles are included. The house shown is built the way Tlingit and Haida people have built it to house many families in one roof. The Totem Pole is the part of the house architecture. The Totem Bight park is full of wildlife and plants; berries: blueberries, huckleberries, salmon berries and large mossy trees. The body of water surrounding the park is clear and pristine. Bold Eagles are frequently seen in the park. There is coal in the crevices of the wooden ground at the beach of the park.
The cruise charges you more than $30 for this tour, plus the Creek street, but you can take the silver line bus to the park for $2 round-trip per person at this time and $1 for adults (50c) per ride. The silver line replaced the blue line. Just cross the street if you are traveling with a cruise line and you'll find the bus stop.
The ride takes about 20 minutes or less. The bus returns in an hour. Take an information booklet from the visitor center at the street before the park. The park does not have bathrooms in it, but the visitor information center has a bathroom near by. While there, also visit the park next to Totem Pole Bight Park.

St. Paul: Seeking a Better Tomorrow (1982)
Excerpt from Alaska Review 48B. This program is the original version of this story. Another Alaska Review segment titled, St. Paul: An Uncertain Future is a later variation. In this segment, Alaska Review examines the sealing industry on St. Paul Island in the Pribilofs, and efforts by the federal government to phase out funding of the seal harvest. Life on the island under Russian and United States rule is discussed, and an island resident talks about having lived as a ward of the federal government and about having been relocated to an internment camp in Southeast Alaska during World War II. Managers explain the seal harvest process, and activists talk about their opposition to the harvest. Those interviewed include: Larry Merculief, president of Tanadgusix Corporation; Gabe Stepetin, resident of St. Paul Island; Joe Scordino of the National Marine Fisheries Service; Leslie Dierhauf, veterinarian and voluntary observer of the seal harvest; Captain Paul Watson of Greenpeace; Pamela Williams (or Wilson?), director of the Seal Rescue Fund; Dr. Charles Fowler of the National Institute of Marine Fisheries; Father Michael Lestenkof, priest on St. Paul Island; and Mike Zacharof, supervisor of the by-products plant on St. Paul Island. Program contains views of a St. Paul celebration at the end of sealing season, historical photos and drawings of Aleut peoples, interior and exterior views of the Russian Orthodox Church on St. Paul Island, seal harvest activities and the treatment and packing of seal skins, and scenes from the Wartime Relocation Commission Hearings in Anchorage. (Sound/Color/U-matic videotape).
Airing from 1976 to 1987, Alaska Review was the first statewide public affairs television program in Alaska. The show was designed to explore public policy issues confronting Alaska, and to assist citizens in making decisions about the future of their land. Produced by Independent Public Television, Inc., (IPTV), the series eventually consisted of 16 one-hour shows, 46 half-hour shows, and one three-hour special broadcast. Funded through the Alaska Humanities Forum and State of Alaska, the series won multiple awards for public service and educational programming. IPTV dissolved in 1988. Videotapes for all finished productions and raw footage were later moved to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), where they became housed with the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives department in the Rasmuson Library at UAF, shortly after the unit was founded in 1993. The Alaska Film Archives is currently seeking funding to preserve and digitize all of the original full interviews gathered in the making of the Alaska Review series. Copies of finished productions are also held by Alaska State Library Historical Collections in Juneau. For more information, please contact the Alaska Film Archives at University of Alaska Fairbanks.
This sequence contains excerpts from AAF-4985 from the Alaska Review collection held by the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives Department in the Elmer E.

Alaska Travel
Alaska Travel - Alaska is a state in the United States, situated in the northwest extremity of the North American continent, with the international boundary with Canada to the east, the Arctic Ocean to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the west and south, with Russia further west across the Bering Strait. Alaska is the largest state in the United States by area, the 4th least populous and the least densely populated of the 50 United States. Approximately half of Alaskas 731,449 residents live within the Anchorage metropolitan area.
Alaska was purchased from Russia on March 30, 1867, for $7.2 million ($120 million adjusted for inflation) at approximately two cents per acre ($4.74/km²). The land went through several administrative changes before becoming an organized (or incorporated) territory on May 11, 1912, and the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3, 1959.
The name Alaska (Аляска) was already introduced in the Russian colonial period, when it was used only for the peninsula and is derived from the Aleut alaxsxaq, meaning the mainland or, more literally, the object towards which the action of the sea is directed. It is also known as Alyeska, the great land, an Aleut word derived from the same root. ( Wikipedia )
