The Sitka Center for Art and Ecology offers a place for artists to create their art surrounded by the beauty of the Oregon Coast. Executive Director Alison Dennis speaks with Oregon Grapevine host Barbara Dellenback about art education in schools, taking the time to reflect on life through art, and the importance of place in our lives.

In this company update, I reconnect with Mike Burke, Director and Vice President of Corporate Development at Sitka Gold (TSX.V:SIG - OTCQB:SITKF - FRE:1RF), to discuss the latest drill results from the RC Gold Project in Yukon.   Following up on hole 75, which returned the deepest and highest-grade intercept to date, Mike walks us through the results from hole 76, drilled from the same pad but at a steeper angle. This hole intercepted two key zones of mineralization, including:   94m of 1.15 g/t gold, including 12.2m of 4.55 g/t 86m of 1.65 g/t gold, including 25m of 5.04 g/t The company is targeting deeper underground potential at the Blackjack zone, stepping out systematically to define the high-grade core. Mike explains how hole 76 supports the idea of continuity and depth potential, even as the geology shifts between intrusive and metasedimentary zones.   Mike also outlines Sitka's fully funded 30,000-meter drill program, including:   Active drilling underway with one rig deepening hole 76 Three more rigs coming online through May 15,000 meters focused on Blackjack, Saddle, and Eiger zones Additional follow-up at earlier-stage Pukelman and Rhosgobel targets $25M in the treasury providing a clear runway for exploration   Click here to review the full news release and cross-sections, and leave your questions for Mike in the comments or email us directly. My email address is Fleck@kereport.com.

Marcie Begleiter, an artist based on the Central Coast of California, talks about: artist residencies, including the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, where she recently did a 4-week residency, including collecting biological specimens/samples; how her time and relationship with the residency evolves over those four weeks, which has lead to artistic breakthroughs; how she likes deadlines, and can structure her residency experience with the clock ticking and puts extra focus on what she's doing, and in addition having the support of the people running the residencies; the importance of the artist statement in applications for residencies; what her experience was like at Sitka, from where she stayed (at an offsite house as opposed to the onsite cabins) to how she spent her days and nights, and what her studio days are like on a residency vs. the studio where she lives; why she left New York (Manhattan) for, initially Taos, N.M., and eventually California (essentially she needed more access to nature); and the interdisciplinary program she started at Otis College of Art that focuses on social change in the community.  In the 2nd half of our conversation, which is available on our Patreon page, she talks about: how she's restarting the local CERT (citizen's emergency response training) training in her unincorporated town (of Los Osos, CA), partially inspired by not having much access out of her area in an emergency; how she and her husband came to leaving Los Angeles for Los Osos, back in 2015/16, after she toured extensively with her documentary on the artist Eva Hesse; the benefits of living in a small town (Los Osos) which she prefers to city life; the lucky circumstances of having a great studio space in a location where you wouldn't expect great studios; why she vastly prefers a studio outside her home; she breaks down the different type of residencies: 1) fully funded plus stipends…2) fully funded, no stipend….3) highly subsidized…4) paying full ride; and finally, she addresses our standard finishing questions: how does she feel like social media in this moment, and how success is defined across various careers in the arts.

John Rubino, [Substack https://rubino.substack.com/ ], joins me for a wide-ranging discussion on gold, the gold equities, silver, the silver equities, macroeconomic factors, and using volatility spreads to smooth out the extreme market moves. We once again reflect on the reasons why gold and the gold stocks have continued to outshine most other market sectors with the backdrop of macroeconomic turbulence and general market volatility.   Over the last few weeks both the US Dollar and bonds have not received a strong market bid, and it showcased gold as the only real safe haven from all the uncertainty in financial assets. John points out the continued bid from central banks under the gold price, and many retail and institutional investors rotating a portion of their capital into precious metals sector as the only  place to hide.  John highlights a recent missive from Jim Rickards postulating that gold has become an asymmetrical bet, where the downside is limited and the upside is potentially unlimited.   We then pivot over to the gold stocks, discussing whether we should have seen more of an increase in gold producers valuations, considering the record high underlying metals prices, and their fattest margins of all time. John points out that it is taking a while for generalists to notice after a few prior years where we saw inflation and inputs costs keeping pace with the increase in gold price.   The conversation spans a number of other topics like, if we'll see in influx of more merger and acquisition deals, royalty company margins, the gold:silver ratio, why he thinks silver will do better than gold over the next 3-5 years, and the increased action in junior explorers like Snowline Gold, Goliath Resources, Hannan Metal, and Sitka gold all up triple digits over the last year or two.    Wrapping up we circle back to macroeconomic and the strong potential for a recession, the Fed waiting to cut interest rates, the shift in focus from generalist investors out of sectors that work working and looking for more safety, and techniques for using options and volatility.   https://rubino.substack.com/

This Day in Legal History: Senate Approves Alaska PurchaseOn April 9, 1867, the United States Senate voted to ratify the Treaty with Russia for the Purchase of Alaska, approving the acquisition of the territory for $7.2 million. The deal, championed by Secretary of State William H. Seward, added over 586,000 square miles to U.S. territory. At the time, many Americans viewed the icy, remote land as a barren wasteland, mocking the transaction as “Seward's Folly” or “Seward's Icebox.” Despite public ridicule, Seward pursued the deal partly to prevent British expansion from neighboring Canada and to extend American commercial interests into the Pacific. Russia, for its part, saw little strategic or economic value in Alaska and feared it might lose the territory without compensation in a future conflict.The treaty passed in the Senate by a vote of 37 to 2, reflecting support among lawmakers despite popular skepticism. Legal authority for the purchase came through the treaty-making power of the executive branch, with Senate ratification required under Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution. Once finalized, the transfer of sovereignty occurred in October 1867 in Sitka, with a formal ceremony marking Russia's departure.Criticism of the purchase subsided decades later following the Klondike Gold Rush and, eventually, the discovery of significant oil reserves. These developments drastically changed the public's perception of Alaska from frozen liability to strategic asset. The purchase also helped lay the groundwork for America's growing influence in the Pacific and Arctic regions.President Donald Trump announced that major law firms pledging $340 million in pro bono work would assist his administration with coal industry initiatives and international tariff negotiations. Speaking at a White House event, Trump said these firms—such as Paul Weiss, Skadden, Milbank, and Willkie—would provide legal support for leasing and regulatory issues in coal mining, as well as in talks with foreign countries on trade. While he didn't specify which firms would take on specific tasks, Trump emphasized their legal talent and claimed they were offering services “for the right price.”The announcement coincided with Trump signing executive orders invoking the Defense Production Act to increase coal mining and directing investments into advanced coal technology. He also said the Department of Justice would be tasked with challenging state and local regulations he views as harmful to miners. The law firm agreements came after Trump targeted several legal firms with directives that threaten their business, prompting lawsuits from Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, and Jenner & Block. Trump posted the agreements on Truth Social, stating the firms would work on causes like veterans' rights and combating antisemitism, although details on how their roles will be determined remain unclear.Trump Says He'll Enlist Big Law Dealmakers for Coal, TariffsA group of 67 former top legal executives from companies like Microsoft, Intel, and Eli Lilly filed a legal brief condemning President Trump's executive orders targeting several major law firms. They argue that the orders violate the Constitution and threaten the independence of corporate legal counsel by coercing political loyalty through federal contract threats. The brief supports a lawsuit by Perkins Coie, one of the firms impacted by the orders, which claims the directives bar its attorneys from government buildings and jeopardize its clients' federal contracts.The former general counsels contend that Trump's actions don't just punish individual firms, but undermine the principle that companies should be free to choose their legal representation without fear of political retaliation. The brief highlights how the orders signal to businesses that hiring lawyers linked to Trump's critics could lead to government sanctions. Trump issued similar orders against WilmerHale and Jenner & Block, and all three firms have secured temporary legal blocks against the measures.While some firms like Paul Weiss struck deals with Trump to avoid penalties—agreeing to provide pro bono work for causes aligned with his administration—others have pushed back. Four days prior, hundreds of law firms submitted their own brief supporting Perkins Coie. Trump's administration defends the orders as efforts to stop perceived political bias in Big Law.Former top lawyers at major companies decry Trump orders against law firms | ReutersAn immigration judge has given the U.S. government through today to present evidence justifying the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student and lawful permanent resident. Khalil was arrested in New York and transferred to a detention facility in rural Louisiana, sparking concern over due process and free speech rights. At Tuesday's hearing, Judge Jamee Comans made it clear that if the government cannot prove Khalil is deportable, she will dismiss the case by Friday. She also criticized delays in sharing evidence and emphasized the importance of Khalil's due process rights.Khalil's lawyer, Marc Van Der Hout, claims the deportation effort is politically motivated and violates the First Amendment, suggesting that Khalil is being targeted for speaking out in support of Palestinians. The government argues Khalil should be deported under a Cold War-era law that allows removal if an immigrant is deemed a threat to U.S. foreign policy, and also accuses him of omissions on his green card application—charges he denies.The case has drawn national attention, including a crowded virtual courtroom. A separate habeas petition is also under consideration in federal court, and Khalil cannot be deported while that process plays out. His wife, a U.S. citizen who is expecting their child this month, has been unable to visit him due to her pregnancy.US given one day to show evidence for deporting Columbia University protester Khalil | ReutersA federal judge has ordered President Trump's White House to temporarily lift access restrictions on the Associated Press (AP) while a lawsuit challenging the ban moves forward. The Trump administration had barred AP journalists from events like Oval Office briefings and Air Force One trips after the agency refused to adopt Trump's preferred term, "Gulf of America," instead continuing to refer to the "Gulf of Mexico." U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, ruled that the First Amendment prohibits the government from excluding journalists based on viewpoint.The ruling, which takes effect Sunday to allow time for appeal, restores the AP's access to White House press events. McFadden emphasized that if some journalists are granted access, others cannot be denied for their editorial stance. The AP sued three senior Trump aides in February, claiming the restrictions were unconstitutional retaliation against protected speech and lacked due process.AP reporters testified that the ban hindered their ability to cover the president, while Justice Department lawyers argued that access to presidential spaces is a privilege, not a right. Press freedom groups and the White House Correspondents' Association welcomed the decision, calling it a win for independent journalism. The case remains ongoing, with a final ruling expected in the coming months.Judge lifts Trump White House restrictions on AP while lawsuit proceeds | Reuters This is a public episode.

Mike Burke, Director and VP of Corporate Development at Sitka Gold (TSX.V:SIG - OTCQB:SITKF - FRE:1RF) joins me to discuss the company's March 18th news release and the first drill hole from its fully funded 30,000-meter drill program at the RC Gold Project in Yukon. Hole 75, totaling over 715 meters, returned a significant number of visible gold occurrences - 130 in total - and marks a 70-meter step-out from a high-grade interval drilled last year.   Mike explains how this early-season hole is targeting deeper mineralization below the current open-pit resource to test underground potential. Hole 75 showed more visible gold than previous holes, and Hole 76 is now underway to go even deeper, potentially past 800 meters.   Assay results for Hole 75 are expected by mid to late April. The company plans to ramp up with multiple drills in May, increasing news flow through the summer.   The market responded positively to the visuals, despite no assays yet, reflecting a stronger sentiment for gold stocks and early exploration activity. With gold over $3,000/oz and a large drill program underway, Sitka Gold is entering its most active exploration season to date.   If you have any follow up questions for Mike please email me at Fleck@kereport.com.    Click here visit the Sitka Gold website to learn more about the Company.

After the Irish fought for and won their independence from the British in 1921, they had a problem. Centuries of exploitation had left the island one of the least forested nations in Europe, with less than 2% tree cover. So, they started planting a non-native American tree: fast-growing Sitka spruce capable of rebuilding their timber resources in record time. And it worked. Today, about 17% of the island is forested. But in the rural areas where iconic rolling hills have been replaced by rows and rows of conifers, farmers are not happy. Outside/In host Nate Hegyi takes us to County Leitrim, an area of Ireland hit hard by the Troubles and the Great Famine, to meet the townspeople who are fighting what they say is a new wave of colonialism: Sitka spruce plantations. Produced by Nate Hegyi.

In this one, I talk to Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins. Ever since he was a kid he's been interested in politics and sports. Electoral politics and baseball, to be specific. But when it came to politics, he was a prodigy. He could recite groups of politicians — the 50 state attorneys general and all 100 U.S. senators, for example. He was interviewed on NPR at 14, and at 23 he dropped out of Yale, moved back home to Sitka and ran as a Democratic candidate for the state House of Representatives. He would go on to represent Sitka and 21 other rural Southeast Alaska communities in the Alaska House of Representatives, until leaving politics in 2022. His self-proclaimed fanaticism toward sports is what drew him to politics. Like sports, politics is statistical, numeric, and there are winners and there are losers. But with politics, unlike sports, the stakes are higher. They shape the world we live in.  Jonthan credits the Sitka High School Debate Team for giving him the intellectual and ideological versatility that he still relies on today. He says that in debate, it's common to flip a coin and on the basis of the coin flip you have to argue diametrically opposite sides of the same issue. So, you not only have to understand both sides of an argument, you have to be able to clearly communicate it. In 2014, House Bill 216 was signed into law. It made the twenty Native languages in Alaska official languages of the state. Jonathan sponsored that bill and his efforts were, in part, aided by what he had learned in debate. He says that, like all things in politics, it was accomplished through compromise and teamwork. 

Eric Jackson is a prolific backcountry freestyle and freeride snowboarder with an expansive career in the sport. He is also a passionate outdoorsman with a love for waterfowl hunting, fishing, and more recently archery elk hunting. Eric joins Brady and Trail on this week's episode to talk about his pathway into the sport and his developing devotion to archery hunting. Eric talks about being comfortable being uncomfortable, facing fear, and compares archery elk hunting to his pursuits in snowboarding. Eric also discusses the film “River” that he did in conjunction with Sitka gear and elaborates on how bowhunting has challenged him in new ways. Eric's passion for big mountains and adventure is infectious and inspiring. This is a great episode with new perspectives on why hunters are so driven by the pursuit of big game and adventure.

Erin Marbarger is the Senior Education Director and Director of Climate and Sustainability at the Anchorage Museum. And for the last six years Erin, Museum staff and schools and communities have been collecting soundscapes from around Alaska. Anchorage at first and then other locations like Nenana, Nuiqsut, Portage, Seldovia, Sitka and Soldotna. They recorded sounds from rivers to traffic. Everything that punctuates an otherwise quiet environment because much can be learned from these sounds — weather patterns, animal behavior, human activity. It all shapes the world we live in, both natural and manmade.  How about climate change, though, does that have a sound? This is a question Erin has been thinking about a lot lately. She says that one way we hear it is in the lack of sound, an animal that no longer exists in a certain area, for example. Acoustic Phenology — the study of how climate affects plants, animals and microbes — is another way we hear it. Like with Springtime, we begin to hear birds and all their different songs. So, it's important to record these soundscapes because they're always changing and sound can be a measure of change. The soundscapes recorded today, for instance, could be completely different than they will be in 50 or 100 years. These areas could be more developed, causing it to sound more urban or industrial. Or if human activity is reduced, it could mean more sounds of wildlife and nature. It all depends on how we treat the natural environment today.
