. . . . .. . . applications are of some of those choices, what are the financial implications? What are some of the implications on control, local control? Do you actually gain more or do you lose in terms of land? And what are the steps that it takes to dissolve? It's a very complicated process. And the agenda is designed to help provide a few points on both sides of that issue so people can make informed choices. From here on out mayor, Diane Carpenter will find herself free on Tuesday nights, free from

the headaches, the infighting. And if there's one thing everyone here agrees on, it hasn't been an easy period to cope. Please, thank you for your service to the community. I know there have been times when you and I were, you know, having debate. Then came the changing of a guard. Two council members were receded, Ben Dale and Tom Warner, and a newcomer was welcomed into the fold. Well, not really a newcomer, George Holman, spent a number of years in the state legislature. Many political observers had speculated that Holman would make a political comeback as mayor, but no one nominated him. Instead, it was a race between Clara Kelly and Tom Warner. It's a very surprised, I just didn't expect, I really didn't expect, however, I feel very honored and I really appreciate the fact that they really do have some faith in just in the fact that I'm able to do, and I am very honored.

Kelly has an impressive public service resume. She started the Southwestern Alaskans for prevention of child sex abuse group. She's also on the Governor's Interim Commission on Children and Youth and an ONC board member, a YKHC board member, not to mention a full-time student at the Cusp of Quim Community College and mother to a 13-year-old boy. Karen Wainwright is the hepatitis B nurse coordinator for the Alaska Area Indian Health Service in Anchorage.

There are approximately 200 million hepatitis B carriers in the world, and those people are located in Southeast Asia, parts of Africa, parts of the South Pacific Island countries as far down as New Zealand, Australia, and most likely if you would go back up through the South American countries, we probably would see some around there. In Europe, probably the incidence of hepatitis B is a half to 1 percent, which is basically what it is in the mainland of the United States. In the United States itself, we probably have 1 million hepatitis B carriers. According to Karen Wainwright, the progress of the disease has been arrested here in America through the development of a vaccine. The vaccine to prevent the illness costs $125 per adult series in many developing countries where they spend 30 cents per person per year for health care. The vaccine cannot be administered in that country because it's too expensive, so without

being able to prevent it, the disease continues to perpetuate itself. In this area, the disease was rampant until about 10 years ago. Many Alaska Native people in the villages here will remember in the late 70s, where we had many villagers dying of primary liver cancer due to hepatitis B, and because of that incidence, a massive program was instituted that brought into play the public health nurses, the Centers for Disease Control, State of Alaska, and the Indian Health Service to look at what type of a problem we had, how many were affected. And because of that, we were able to bring in the immunizations, which curtailed the spread of the disease, and where in the beginning there were 215 people per 100,000 that were affected with hepatitis B, and by 1983, that number was decreased to about 15 per 100,000 by the use of the vaccine. You can never tell what dangers lie ahead.

Floods could wipe out whole villages. Ten refires can work their way toward homes and threatened lives. Too much alcohol can send a man to sleep forever. These are the kinds of scenarios village public safety officers are talking about at this training session. We do some case studies here, and look at other disasters that curd other places. But if there's one thing, Grady hopes VPSO's learn here is the importance of teamwork. There's many agencies working together. Many people in the community have to work together to be prepared or respond to a disaster or even recover. Then after that, we get into how to team build, how to work with teams. The interaction of people on one-to-one basis. For VPSO's like Harley Sundown, who's been in the business off and on for about three and a half years, learning to plan for disasters is especially important.

Well, I think it's going to definitely help me in setting up a response, setting up planning, setting up how we can handle it, emergencies are disasters that can happen in the village level. Because of that, I feel that this program will be very useful in the village. Harley says emergencies in the village tend to be seasonal. With voting accidents in the summer, snow machine spills in the winter. But whatever the season, officials hope that time spent here will save lives and property. In Bethel, Adolph Lewis, KY UK News. Bethel concert goers were treated to an evening of elegant music and lavish desserts on

Saturday night as the Bethel Council on the odds presented the night with some of the city's best musical talent. Pants at organize us. And the shall rule, my love and love. Consued organizes Suzanne little kicked off the musical part of the program that's covered, pop, folk, classical and even a little humor

and poetry reading thrown in. A bold and daring skin diver went down to the bottom of the scene. There he met a mermaid, just as cute as she could be. The moment that he saw her, it was love beyond a doubt. But when he tried to tell her soon, this is what he mowed. My love, you're a heart of all of the little one he grows physically. My love, you're a heart of all of the little, little, little, little, little, little, little. The bold and daring skin diver, he tried to hold her hand. The boys at the power plant are talking snow. Outside of Filmer's top, Filmer's popper, the smell of buttered corn, balances on near icy air, like some firm, unpainted farm girl riding bearback. In the pool hall, Hubbard under smoke are quartets, singing dominoes. Beer lies in oak lakes at the bar.

Outside, Floyd Catlett sits a bench that fifty years ago might have been a mayor. He lives a fresh cigarette feeling his mac and all for matches. The highlight of the program for many may well have been when the audience and performers alike had a chance to sample some of the fine desserts and sweet treats made by a large group of volunteer bakers. Just like the concert, the menu covered a large array of baked goods and it was hard for someone to choose just one to tempt their sweet tooth. To the end, he acts loose.

They tell what Bobby B. And it's five that was true. Bobby B was born and raised in a state down below. Where the winter is, our short, and the king cotton tree. In all the concert with desserts netted some $1,000 for the arts council, who plan to use the money to help bring more live entertainers to Bethel.

This is Richard Early Pointing for KYK News. For those of you who like to sweat and pump some iron, Bethel has a new place to go to to get in shape and burn some of those extra calories off. The gym opened his doors just recently at the old Bo Jangles' Disco. The house pie has plenty of weights and exercise machines to satisfy even the most serious of bodybuilders. Owner Jim Buen says this is the second time around for him in the health club business. I just felt that Bethel's needed a place for people to go and work out and get in shape and have a place to kind of come down and get healthy.

What kind of results have you gotten so far? Also far, we've been getting members every day, and we didn't expect that to jump off with a big start, but every day more and more people are coming up. We have a lot of our old people from the old gym, and a lot of people that have equipment at home that are coming down and joining out. Buen says his new place is a big improvement over his last fitness club venture. It was at an old place in a warehouse, and this time we have a nice beautiful place, and it's warm and a good music system, and the people are really enjoying coming down and sweating. What's the difference between the old place and the new place? About 4,000 square feet. This is a big place. We have tanning facilities here, two tanning beds, showers, lockers. As soon as they're going to be done, as soon as they get time to do them. We have a health bar over here where you can get juice or pop, or a protein drink, and a large aerobics area for the women or the guys that are brave enough to come out with the women. Health Club's membership is slowly starting to get going after just opening last week. Nguyen says the club will offer a little bit more than just sun tans and weights.

We have a front room for a TV. People can sit and watch TV after they're... We're done working out, maybe Monday night football type thing for the guys, or while they're waiting for a tanning appointment if they're early. And now we're going to hold a dance, say once a month for all the members here. It's a... for members only type thing. We have a beautiful dance set up. We have lighted floor and a beautiful sound system. So we're going to put it to use. And I have a nice social climate here for the people when they come down. Chuck Pinsgard has played a key role in getting the gym prepared and ready for the public. He believes this exercise facility is just what the town needs. Eventually, Jimmy's going to get more machines in here, and maybe get some coffee tables in the area back in here. And when you're through working out, don't run home. Sit down and have a cup of coffee with your friends. Play a game of chess or checkers, something like that. So make it a social gathering, just not just a club. See, I think it's going to hit it off pretty well here in Bethlehem. Oh, I think so. It needs it bad. You probably won't see Tom Selick or Heather Lockler come to Bethel's new gym,

but you never know who just might pop in. The program will establish the United Kingdom Japan and Great Britain are certainly two good selections for the program because they're the two largest foreign contributors to U.S. tourism. I've seen projections by our state tourism people showing the potential for the increase of the number of international visitors to Alaska can be as much as six times what it is now. Obviously, it'll mean millions of dollars in revenue for Alaska because those people do spend money. This kind of good news we can use. This age population is very different from preschool, and preschool child care programs usually run for anywhere from two to eight hours a day, ten hours a day.

The age is very different. Kids from ages five to nine are much more independent, and they want to do things themselves. Plus, they're coming off of six hours of school, and so some of them want to explode, and some of them want to be quiet, and it's hard to meet those kinds of needs. Again, there's not a lot available for people who are trying to meet the needs of these kids. There's a lot available for preschool teachers and preschool child care givers, but not the school age population. That's where we're providing this, is to attempt to meet the needs of the providers. Thank you.

In the early stages of a drowning, you can't really say how much of any damage to the brain has been done, and the proper evaluation and follow-up for that would need to be done in Anchorage. For those two reasons is why we had him go right out to Anchorage that later that evening. So how do you feel about how the whole rescue operation went?

Well, I think that it went very good, and I think a lot of credit needs to go to the people in the village and the health aid in the village there. The child was found in the water, seemingly lifeless, that shouldn't dissuade anybody from trying to go ahead and start life-saving type measures CPR. So what happened in Kibnok at the onset? And the child was found after being gone from supervision for an undetermined amount of time, and was apparently not breathing when he was taken from the water. And CPR was started, artificial respiration, and chest compressions, and that was done for about ten minutes, and then he began to breathe and had a pulse. And people there continued to do very good work in that they took the child and took him inside and took all his white clothes off and got him heated up, which is the second important step is to start getting the temperature up. So really, the first step towards saving this child's life began in Kibnok?

Yeah, the first couple of steps as far as making sure that he was breathing and getting him warmed up. The team here at Bethel also worked well together, was prepared, and I think that it all went very smoothly. How rare is a survival in a case like this? Yeah, two different questions. This boy apparently is doing very well in Anchorage right now, and a recovery like that after a near-drowning is unusual. I think that this is not the typical situation that you see with a child. And I'm pleased that things have gone so well for this child, but it is an unusual situation in most children who have a drowning like this do not either survive or do not do nearly as well and will have some leftover brain damage. And that's where the most important thing is to try to keep this from ever happening.

So what lessons are there to be learned? Well, I think some things that we need to help the children, more used to working with the children as a pediatrician, so we need to teach them about the dangers of the water in the area here. And also now that the seasons get in colder and lakes and rivers are icing up, the dangers of walking on ice that may break underneath them. And that really prevention needs to be a made thrust in teaching the young children about that. The last three to four weeks we've been seeing an increasing number of people come into the emergency room with symptoms of cough, sore throat, fever, body aches, muscle aches, headaches, and there actually seems to be a second kind of a virus going around too, which affects the GI tract, people come in with vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, stomach cramps.

Some people are unlucky enough to get both of them at the same time. Dr. Moran says most people have one flu or the other, in both cases there's not much that can be done. Dr. Moran says people usually get better in five to seven days. Although Dr. Moran says we may be seeing the tail end of these viruses, the big worry is the flu, which is caused by the influenza virus. And that's the one that's the most serious kind of flu that people can get. The symptoms are similarly worse, people will get fever often as high as 102 to 103, muscle aches, body aches, headaches, cough, sore throat, and burning eyes. According to Dr. Moran, the good news about the upcoming virus is the flu shot, which is now available at the hospital.

People at high risk, meaning people with lung disease, heart disease, kidney disease, or asthma, should go to the outpatient department of the hospital and ask for the flu shot. Dr. Moran is also asking elders 65 years older to get the flu shot. Reporting for KY UK, I'm Lillian Michael. Started just after the great Chicago fire, which was in 1800s, I believe, and the United States kind of set aside one week a year that they would concentrate on fire prevention activities. In the state of Alaska, we've made it bigger into fire prevention month the last two years. But we really do a big push still on fire prevention week, and that's what we're doing here at the fire station this week.

The fire chiefs as besides teaching all the school-aged children not to play with matches, the older elementary students are taught differently than the younger ones. Things like stop-drop and roll and calling 911 if there's a fire, or if they need the police or the ambulance. How to get out of their house if there's a fire. We have smoke detectors. We have a little room set up inside the fire station. They can practice crawling out the window. They roll off their bed if they hear the smoke detector and things like that. And then we show them around the fire station. The little kids, we teach them not to be scared of firemen if they see them in their house when their house is on fire. For the adults and their families, there is an open house at the fire station where they can tour the fire station and take a look inside the National Guard helicopter, which is used to help the firemen in search and rescue activities, as well as evacuation activities. We've got some new things we've never had in the past. We'll have all of our diving gear out and our search and rescue gear that works a lot with the helicopter and things like that. Fire Chief Mark Parker invites everyone to come to the open house at the fire station this evening from 730 until 930.

Reporting is okay while you're okay. I'm Lillian Michael. I was working in the lab late one night with my eyes beating an eerie sight for my monster from a slab began to rise and suddenly to my surprise. He did the mounds to man. It was a graveyard smash. He did the mess. He did the mess. He did the mounds to man. From my lab before he in the car released.

From the master bedroom that the vampire's piece. The cool hole came from the humble abode. To get a joke from my electric. He did the mess. He did the mounds to man. The master mess. He did also graveyard smash. He did the mess. He got on and on. He did the mess. He did the mounds to man. The mounds were having fun. The party had just begun. The cast included wood, and Dracula, and his son. The scene was rocking over digging the sounds. He go on chains back by his being home. The coffin wound bangers were about to arrive. But they're vocal group. They played the mounds to man. It was a graveyard smash. It was a graveyard smash. It was all in a flat.

They played the mess. They played the mounds to man. Out from his coffin, right-spoisted ring. The scene she was troubled by. Just one thing. I opened the lid, and shook his fist and said, What ever happened to my transient union with? It's now the mounds to man. The master mess. And it's a graveyard smash. It's now the mess. It's called all in a flower. It's now the mounds. It's now the mounds to man. Now everything's cool. Drex a part of the band. And my mounds to man is the hit of the lad. What? Were you the living? The smash was meant to. When you get to my door, tell them bodies sernt. Then you get a ice. Then you can mongs to man. The master mess. Then you can mongs to man. Then you can mongs to man. Even a smast. You hit all in a flat. Then you can make sure that you get a sp Smast. Then you can mongs to man. It's all in a small flat.

It's all, for sure. vegetable, you imagine, it's all solid. Man, you can meh. Master, master, master, master. I'm so nice to have you on. I'm so happy to have you on. Thank you for watching.
