Alaska has one of the highest incidences of brain injuries in the nation – more than 10,000 Alaskans live with a life-long disability resulting from a brain injury.

Dr. Harvey Jacobs, a national expert on brain injuries.  He’s in Anchorage this week to share information at the Alaska Brain Injury Conference.  Dr. Jacobs says the consequences of a brain injury can be devastating

He says anyone can be susceptible to such an injury. Falls, vehicle accidents and physical assaults are the most common causes, and all age groups are vulnerable.   Dr. Jacobs says prevention is the key

He says wearing bicycle and motorcycle helmets is essential to protect the brain.  A good investment, he says, considering the jello-like brain can be  injured even by a mild blow.   According to Center For Disease Control data, the financial losses due to brain injuries in our society could be $100 billion a year in costs of care and lost economic opportunities.  There are 1.7 million brain injured people in the US, and 80,000 to 100,000 of them  have permanent disabilities.

Jill Hodges, executive director of the Alaska Brain Injury Network, says the Bethel area has the highest incidence of brain injuries in the state. 800 Alaskans are hospitalized each year with moderate to severe brain injuries. 650 of those survive

Males aged 16 – 24 are at the highest risk, but infants are at risk, too, because of shaken baby syndrome.  She says a lot of work has to be done to convince bush snowmachiners and four wheelers to wear head protection.  She says the state and the Alaska Native Health Consortium have made some efforts in this direction.  Hodges says in rural Alaska, CT scans are rare, so most injured rural residents are medevaced to Anchorage or Seattle for acute care, but on return to the village, the state and the regional behavioral health service become the primary caregivers.  Hodges says there is no single rehabilitative care center in Alaska, but progress is being made in that direction.

The investigation into yesterday evening’s fiery crash of a C-17 at Elemdorf Air Force Base in Anchorage is now in its beginning stages. Meanwhile, notification of the next of kin of the four airmen killed continues.

This morning Colonel Jack McMullen, the Air Force’s 3rd Wing commander updated the press on the investigation.

“Emergency crews have worked through the night to secure the site. That work is going to continue today We’ve got an interim safety team that’s standing up that’s going to be out there secure data, to secure information and to preserve the site. We’ve got another safety team that’s going to come in that should be in within the next 24 hours which will start an official safety investigation to try to determine the cause of the accident.”

According to McMullen, next-of-kin are still being notified and the names will not likely be released until tomorrow. He added that friends are already with local family members.

Brig. Gen. Chuck Foster of the 176th Wing of the Alaska Air National Guard said that concern goes beyond family members.

“Also those squadron mates. Of course we tell them what we know when we know it and help them work through the grieving process especially in the air national guard, but certainly true in the active duty air force. We work together for years and we’ve become quite close. And we bring the resources, chaplains, counselors, also to that squadron.

The C-17 crew consisted of three members of the Alaska Air National Guard and one on-duty Air Force person. Neither officer knew who was at the controls of the plane when it crashed moments after take-off a little after 6 o’clock Wednesday evening.

The plane was part of the 3rd Wing and was about to perform a training demonstration for this weekend’s scheduled air show. McMullen said the plane had been flown earlier that day, but not by that crew. He did not know how many Wednesday flights the plane had done.

The large, four engine cargo plane has a good safety record and often appears in air shows such as the one scheduled for this weekend. As of this morning, the McMullen said the fate of the popular annual air show remains uncertain.

“What’s best for the wing, what’s best for the community is kind of what we’re looking at to try and do the right thing. Obviously this is a huge tragedy. But at some point we’re going to need to get up. We’re going to need to press on and move forward. And so that’s what we’re thinking through as we go through this.”

The two officers said the air force would notify the public as soon as reach a decision concerning the air show.

The annual fill-the-boot, Muscular Dystrophy Association fundraiser with off-duty and on-duty Anchorage firefighters can take place this year as usual. Last night, the Anchorage Assembly overrode Mayor Dan Sullivan’s veto that blocked on-duty municipal employees from participating in private fund raising events.

At an early public hearing, Brian testified in favor of firefighter participation in the Muscular Dystrophy Association fundraiser. Like last year, he and his mother plan on joining the firefighters at Lake Otis Boulevard and Tudor Road during Fill-the-Boot.

Shepherd says the parcel of land is noted in the municipalities 20-20 development plan in numerous instances, after a series of public meetings was held to identify open spaces.  The land is in pristine condition because it was held by two old Anchorage families.   Now the families wish to sell it.

But the city’s $2. 7 million contribution is crucial.   That money is designated for wetlands projects, but Mayor Dan Sullivan says there are other projects in the city that need completion, too.  Sullivan said today that the park project was undertaken during a previous city administration.

Sullivan says, park or not, the wetlands portion of the land will always be protected under law, but the city needs more money  on the tax rolls.

Mayor Sullivan says the city is looking at the possibility of splitting the land between high end development and the wetlands.  He says he’s meeting with the Anchorage Community Development Authority, an entity which works with the city to make development purchases, to see if a partnership with the Great Land Trust can be worked out.

Sheperd says more than a hundred private donors, and organizations like Ducks Unlimited, US Fish and Wildlife and the Rasmusson Foundation have helped fund the park idea. If a compromise with the city can’t be reached,   the grants funds and donations will have to be returned.

The colonists used the train for eating and social events even after they had arrived and set up their tent city. Here they gather for a dance with local talent providing the music. Photo from MSB Sanbote Collection, courtesy of the Mat-Su Borough Cultural Resources Dept.

Some 200 families from the barren farmlands of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota chose FDR’s 1935 New Deal challenge to re-launch their lives in Alaska as farmers. They became the hope of a nation wracked by the Great Depression in what reporters called a “socialist experiment.”

What was it like to be a colonist? We’ll learn from Gerry Keeling, one of the first babies born to the newly staked farmers. She grew up in Palmer and attended K-12 at the Palmer Territorial School. She has stories of community, hardship and even heartbreak – but maintains an abiding belief in the resilient spirit of the colony pioneers.

Joining the program in the second half is Eileen Probasco, chief planner for the Mat-Su Borough. Eileen moved to the Valley at age 13. She remembers when Palmer was the big town and Wasilla just a wide spot in the road. Eileen’s own family experienced the rapid growth in the Valley. Today, she wrestles professionally with the challenge to meet the needs of Alaska’s fastest growing community.

Join host Kathleen McCoy for a look at Mat-Su’s unique history and how that foundation shapes the valley today on Hometown, Alaska Wednesday at 2:00 pm.

Anchorage residents packed a Planning and Zoning Commission meeting last night to testify on an issue that has divided the city’s Fairview neighborhood. The debate is whether the commission should allow a former motel to become a housing facility for homeless alcoholics.
