America should not drill in our Arctic ecosystem
America's Arctic Ocean is home to abundant life - polar bears, walruses, ice seals, whales, the Inupiat people and much more. It is a treasure that has been part of our national heritage for generations.
Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar has pledged to make wise decisions based on sound scientific principles. Along with hundreds of thousands of Americans, I recently urged Secretary Salazar to reconsider the Bush administration's foolhardy rush to drill in our only Arctic ecosystems.
Secretary Salazar must continue his commitment to wise decisions based on sound science and come up with a rigorous plan for America's Arctic that will ensure its survival.

Father’s Day reflects the honor of being a Dad
I want to put a little different spin on what Father’s Day is about for me. Normally when we think of Father’s Day, people think of it as the day we honor our Dads. This is true, and Dad’s do deserve recognition, some more than others. But we won’t get into that.

For now, we’re holding the Father’s Day gifts
Dad has never been big on Father’s Day presents. For the last few years, he’d always announce a couple of weeks before the date that my sister Sharon and I should save our money.

Discipline is what many people dread
There is a word that has been rolling over and over in my brain for the past couple of weeks. It’s one of those words that I don’t really like, and to be honest, haven’t been very good at. It’s a word I have thought of from time to time, and a word that I try to live by on occasion (but really never do).

Ellard invites everyone to the lodge
It was a long week at the lodge......last week. But everything was real good. Poor Betty Meeks just seemed to be slowin’ down and runnin’ out of juice. She told Froggy that things were getting tough around there.
