Police Investigating Child Abuduction Incidents

Fri, Jan 29, 2010

Anchorage Police announced on Friday they are investigating three attempted child abductions occurring over the last two weeks. The latest one happened Friday morning.

According to APD’s Public Information Officer, Marlene Lammers, all three incidents occurred on Anchorage’s greater east side.

The latest incident took place at about 7:45 Friday morning. An 11-year old girl was walking to the bus stop to her home on the 53-hundred block iof Taku Drive. Lammers says Friday’s incident was similar to one reported Thursday morning involving a 10 year old girl walking to Ptarmigan Elementary School.

Lammers says these two recent abduction attempts closely resemble another incident occurring 8:30 in the morning on January 14 and involving a 10 year-old girl walking to Creekside Elementary School.

The public information officer says in all three cases, the suspect’s description and his vehicle was similar.

Lammers says the girls are “doing all right.” She knows the first two were taken to the hospital to check for injuries. She was uncertain about this morning’s intended victim.

Addressing Alaskans: Port Mackenzie Economic Impact

Thu, Jan 28, 2010

Port Mackenzie rail extension proposed routes

In early 2008 the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and the Alaska Railroad Corporation proposed to build and operate a rail line connecting the Borough’s Port Mackenzie to the existing Alaska railroad system. The proposed rail would provide freight services between the Port and Interior Alaska. In his talk recorded at the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce, former Anchorage mayor Rick Mystrom contends the Port Mackenzie rail extension project is the boost Alaska’s economy needs to increase jobs, transportation routes and the competitiveness of Alaska’s coal.
