The Mat-Su School District made headlines last fall when they voted to severely limit the student representative position on the school board.

If you've been downtown at all this summer, you might have noticed one less lane of traffic on a couple of busy streets. Anchorage now has a protected bike lane running along parts of A Street and 6th Avenue.  This bike lane won't be there forever – just for the summer– but this protected bike lane is part of a larger two-year study funded by the bipartisan infrastructure bill. In this episode, we're hearing from the project leads. ATMI producer Taylor Heckart sat down in the studio with Brad Coy, the director of the Traffic Engineering Department at the Municipality of Anchorage, and Anna Bosin, the Regional Traffic Safety Engineer for the Department of Transportation for the State of Alaska.  They talked about the massive collaboration required to make this project happen, the benefits that protected bike lanes could bring to the community, and what it means to build infrastructure with non-motorized users in mind.  Hosted by Grace Fujimoto.

Beginning last fall, thousands of Alaskans waited months to receive assistance from the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps, run by the Alaska Division of Public Assistance.

How is this current backlog being addressed and what are potential answers for long term stability for Alaskans who are food insecure? We'll hear from people working on answers on this Talk of Alaska.

When young people break the law and are then processed into the justice system, a sentence is only the very beginning of the correctional journey for juvenile offenders. Those who help these kids have a three-part goal that applies to every 10-17 year old who is in detention or treatment: 1) hold youth accountable for their actions, 2) promote the safety and restorization of victims and communities, 3) equip young offenders and their families with the skills to help prevent future crime. IN-STUDIO GUESTS: Joining producer Sarah Gonzales in the studio are two guests who are each uniquely well-acquainted with Alaska's juvenile justice system: Rob Wood is the Deputy Director of Operations for the Alaska Division of Juvenile Justice. He has worked with delinquent youth for over 34 years, initially in the State of Oregon, then in Alaska since 1980. During this period he was a youth counselor in a corrections facility, a clinical therapist for 10 years, a juvenile probation officer and a supervisor for 20 years. Brian Petrilla is a former juvenile delinquent turned juvenile probation officer who robbed an Anchorage credit union when he was 17 years old. Adjudicated and institutionalized at McLaughlin Youth Center in 1993, he returned to McLaughlin as a PO 14 years later to help kids.

So this time on Kids These Days! we're learning about immunizations and vaccines and the many diseases they protect against. We'll also take a look at some of the concerns parents have and where we can all learn more information in order to make an informed decision when it comes to keeping our kids well. IN-STUDIO GUESTS: Joining host Shana Sheehy in the studio are two guests: Dr. Tom Nighswander is Clinical Dean of the Alaska WWAMI Program and has been at the Alaska Native Medical Center since 1972. He and his wife Ruth, a nurse mentor for the Anchorage School District, have made annual visits to the sub-Saharan country of Malawi for the last 14 years working at the Malawi Children's Village and HIV/AIDS orphan program. Laurel Wood was Immunization Program Manager for the Alaska Division of Public Health for 16 years. In that role she worked to coordinate statewide Immunization Program activities including vaccine distribution, coordination of Alaska’s immunization information system, monitoring of school and child care facility immunization requirements, and presentation of general immunization education. She is the former Chair of the national Association of Immunization Managers. Currently she is working part-time as the Coordinator for Public Health with the Immunization Action Coalition.
