IN THE NEWS

Anchorage Daily News archive 2009 

With a wish for the beauty of The Last Frontier to be enjoyed for generations to come, John Klapperich, owner of KMBQ-FM in Wasilla, Alaska, is implementing a green energy plan. The station is the first in the  area to be under contract to install solar panels and wind turbines,  which will allow KMBQ to broadcast on earth-friendly power. To inspire  others to follow in its green footsteps, the station airs "Green Minutes," 60-second public service announcements  filled with tips on how to save energy. Other efforts include going  paperless with invoicing and offering clients a discount on airtime if  they implement alternative energy strategies into their business. "I  have three daughters, and I want them to call Alaska home and enjoy the  clean air and clean water as much as I have. I am looking a few  generations down the road and decided why wait? Let’s do it now," said  Klapperich


Alaska State Quarter to Roll Out at State Fair, Public Coin Forum  

by CoinNews.net on August 22, 2008
 

The ceremonial launch of the commemorative Alaska state quarter will occur at the Alaska State Fair, the United States Mint announced Thursday. 

The Alaska state quarter is the 49th coin in the popular United States Mint 50 State Quarters® Program. 

The reverse or tails side of the coin  features a grizzly bear emerging from the water clutching a salmon in  its jaws.  The North Star is depicted above the inscription “The Great  Land.”  

Additional inscriptions are “Alaska” and “1959,” which is the year the state was admitted into the Union. 

Like past ceremonial releases,  children under 18 years of age will receive a free, shiny new Alaska  quarter. Everyone else in attendance may exchange their money for new  $10 rolls of the quarter-dollars.

A highlight for coin collectors will  be the Public Coin Forum, which will be held the evening prior to the  ceremonial launch. The forum offers an excellent opportunity to express  opinions and ask questions about forthcoming U.S. Mint coins and  programs. 

The successful 50 States Quarters series ends this year with the release of the Hawaiian state quarter in November. New D.C. and U.S. Territory quarters will continue in 2009.
