The debate of whether to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) has been an ongoing issue in the country since 1977. As of 2017, the Republicans were successful in opening up drilling with the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. If the Trump Administration completes its review, an auction for drilling leases could happen by the end of the year. However, indigenous groups are trying to fight this possibility, claiming the drilling threatens their way of life. Leasing in ANWR was blocked for four decades prior to this. According to Energywire, the oil-dependent state has suffered from the industry's decline, and waning production on the North Slope threatens the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) with a dwindling amount of oil that could fall below the minimum threshold to move. TAPS is both practically and symbolically central to the crude industry of Alaska.Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) told Enerygywire in 2017, “Alaskans can now look forward to our best opportunity to refill the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, thousands of jobs that will pay better wages, and potentially billion in royalties for our state alone."However, indigenous groups continue to fight to protect ANWR, not only for their way of life, but for the animals as well. “I am part of a long line of people born into Gwich’in nation of Fort Yukon, Alaska,” says Bernadette Demientieff, an outspoken activist against the drilling.The Gwich’in are comprised of 14 different communities of about 9,000 people. Demientieff is from Fort Yukon, Alaska, which is just south of ANWR. She lives in Fairbanks, Alaska now, but keeps to her indigenous roots with her family. “We pick berries every summer,” Demientieff says, while cleaning blueberries with her daughter. “It’s something our ancestors did and survived off. So, it’s something that has been handed down to us. It’s part of our culture and history, and it’s important we pass that knowledge and education to the next generation.”Demientieff advocates against the drilling in the refuge, because that’s where the Gwich’in’s main source of food breeds.“We do not worship the caribou, but we hold them to high standards,” she says. “The caribou has sustained the Gwich’in for thousands of years. They’ve taken care of us for thousands of years. Now, it’s our turn to take care of them. Gwich’in have always taken care of the land – we are stewards of the land. So, if something happens to the land it happens to the animals, then it happens to us.” Fort Yukon consists of about 800 people according to the second Chief Mike Peter. “The wild life refuge is where life begins,” Peter says. “Not even a footprint is in there, that’s where caribou migrate and have their calves. People still do hunt and fish and live off the land, and if drilling were to happen it would hurt us all.”The arctic caribou population has declined by half since the 90s, from around 4 million to 2 million. The Gwich’in fear this development would decrease this number even more. “This is the remaining caribou,” Dementieff says. “You know the rest of the arctic is opened to oil and gas development, and all the caribou population have declined in that area. And they can’t tell us that our food security is going to be impacted when we see different."ANWR posses what many geologists believe is the biggest untapped oil field remaining in the country, with economic potential in the billions. The development could create tens of thousands of jobs in the first decade, and it has potential of making the country more energy dependent. The effort could keep the state’s economy alive as well. However, the Gwich’in believe the cost of wildlife and their way of life is too high. “We are not going to give up,” Dementieff says. “We’re going to continue to go to the decision makers in DC.” 3839

The Mid-American Conference Basketball Tournament in Cleveland will not be open to the general public due to concerns about the coronavirus. Officials said the tournament will continue as scheduled from Wednesday through Saturday. However, only credentialed institutional personnel, student-athlete family members, credentialed media crews, and official team party members will be allowed to attend games. “The safety of all is our greatest concern. Since January, I have stated that any decision would follow the advice of state governmental officials and medical professionals. Following the feedback we received today we have taken this action which is in alignment with the recommendation of Governor DeWine,” said Mid-American Conference Commissioner, Dr. Jon Steinbrecher.The University of Akron has decided to cancel their pre-game rally at Pizza 216. “We fully support the health concerns and recommendations outline by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine today,” Zips’ Director of Athletics Larry Williams said. “At the same time, it is hard to describe how disappointed we are that all of our wonderful alumni, supporters and fans are not going to be able to attend this special event in person. And, it is so very disappointing the student athletes will not be able to enjoy the passion reflected by the raucous crowds that always come out to support their Zips. Fortunately, there will be great television coverage for each game.”All tickets will be refunded in the form of a ticket to next year's tournament or a full refund. Fans can call their respective athletic departments or Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse at 216-420-2200. 1640

The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office in Iowa stays busy.“We’re a lot busier than we ever have been,” Marty Arganbright, the Guthrie County Sheriff, said. “The call volume is higher than it ever has been.”Eight full-time deputies watch over the nearly 11,000 people who live there.“We cover 600 square miles so we can be at one part of the county and get called to the other end,” Arganbright said. The department is strapped for time and space -- for their own people, evidence files, and even inmates.“In the past ten years, our jail population has soared,” Arganbright said. “In the last couple years, it’s really increased because of the meth use.” He said methamphetamines have caused a lot of trouble for his department and filled his jail, which only has the capacity for 10 people.“I never thought I’d use methamphetamines in my entire life until everyone else around me was using it,” Adam Stough, an inmate in the jail, said. Stough was arrested on drug-related charges after deputies said he led them on a chase and crashed into a ravine.“It infects one community, infects the next community, one person using leads to another person using it,” Stough said. “Exactly like the addiction theory, it’s a disease, it spreads.”“With drug use also crime picks up,” Arganbright said. “In October, three of my deputies were involved in a shooting incident that was involved in methamphetamine and drugs and we had a warrant to be served and the person was hiding in a closet and came out shooting at the deputies.”One of those deputies was Steven Henry.“It went in right there and then it stopped right there,” Henry said, showing the scars on his leg. “I was shot in the leg, my partner was shot in the back.”“It was crazy, you hear about that kind of stuff in LA or New York, you never think something like that is gonna happen here but really it does, it’s everywhere."He explained that most of the crimes he sees relate to drugs.“They all go hand in hand. Drug use, mental health, and crime,” Arganbright said.That’s where Country View Estates steps in to help.“We provide services to people with mental illnesses,” Tricia Schreck, with the organization, said. “What started out as alcohol, now what we’re seeing is a lot more drug backgrounds.” Country View has group homes that help a range of people, including those with criminal backgrounds and mental health issues. People like Troy, who has been in prison multiple times for public intoxication, operating while intoxicated, and other charges.“If I didn’t have Country View here I’d be drunk somewhere on the streets probably, maybe even, ya know, in the grave,” Troy said.“The big thing is is the need for mental health beds,” Gary Rendel, with Country View Estates, said.“There just are not the providers available today that there were even two years ago,” Schreck said.Officials say that feeds into the cycle of crime, drug use, and mental health.“There’s very few places to get help with mental issues,” Arganbright said.“When we can address that properly and get the facilities for the mental help, instead of the facilities to put people in jail for it is when we’re gonna have a solution to overcrowding in jails and prisons everywhere,” Stough said.On March 3, voters passed a million project for a new, larger jail facility in Guthrie County, which will hold up to 30 people. Eighty percent voted in favor.“Everybody wants a safe community,” Schreck said. “It takes everybody paying attention to the choices that our leaders and our government in Iowa are making and we need to be the voice in making sure we’re treating mental health the way it needs to be treated.” 3656

The mother of a New Hampshire high school student who received free food from a lunchroom worker told a local newspaper that her son is not a needy child.Speaking anonymously to the Union Leader earlier this week, the mother said, "I have three children, and they are all well-cared for and well-fed."She did not get fired for feeding a hungry child." 363
