Between Milepost 3 and 3.5 on the Campbell Creek bike trail, someone has stripped three-foot sections of bark from approximately 30 birch trees within clear view of the trail. There may be more. I would like to know 1) who did this; 2) on whose authority (the trail is maintained...

Letter: Unequal blame
Roy S. Johnson’s commentary, “This is on all of us,” took me to the only logical place a critical thinker can go: No, it’s not. This “both sides” pretending does no one any good nor our nation. There is but one presidential candidate who has regularly espoused violence and spoken violent innuendos at his rallies. There is one candidate who rallied his supporters who then violently attacked other Americans and our Capitol. There is one candidate whose supporters threaten election workers’ lives.

Letter: Poor game management
Like many Alaskans, I am not impressed with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the Board of Game’s bloodthirsty predator control program. The slaughter of 180 grizzly bears, along with many other animals, in a year, seems to be more in support of sport than scientific wildlife management. As Bill Sherwonit pointed out, many scientists disagree with the practice of these killings.
Letter: Unhappy with print changes
I’ve been a subscriber to ADN, with a few breaks over the years, since around 1992, through various owners, publishers and what not. I extremely dislike the e-edition. At least the website is easier to read and navigate. With the e-edition, one has to click on a section, navigate...
