- Description
- Chances are you've probably seen her work in galleries around Anchorage.
V Rae's impressionistic watercolors of birds, bears and other wildlife almost seem to look you in the eye.
Or maybe you've seen her work on posters and t-shirts around town. She often donates her art to organizations to help them raise money.
And although she fairly high profile as artists go, what is not as well known is the source of her inspiration -- Potter Marsh, a popular urban oasis just outside the city on the Seward Highway.
This segment was featured on Sept. 29th's Frontiers program, "Ode to Potter Marsh," which looks at the history of the marsh and why it's one of the most popular wildlife viewing spots in Alaska.

- Description
- Almost all Alaska communities have those unforgettable wild places -- the lookout where visitors are encouraged to take in the scenery -- or where the locals go to regain their sanity.
For Anchorage, that special spot is a mere 564 acres, part of the larger Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses more than 32,000 acres. But that tiny slice of the refuge packs in a lot. More than 140 species of birds have been spotted there and 21 different kinds of mammals. As for humans… Potter Marsh sees about 150,000 visitors a year, which makes it one of the most popular wildlife viewing areas in the Alaska.
So this week, we carve out some space for a Frontiers tribute to Potter Marsh – one of those Zen moments of appreciation for our beautiful state. Here are some of the highlights from this week’s show:
• Accidental marsh: you might be surprised to hear the story behind Potter Marsh.

- Description
- Every summer Denali sees more than a thousand climbers, but on average about half of them make it to the top. And every climber who succeeds, usually has a story that will send an involuntary shudder through your shoulders -- the body’s way of discouraging you from even thinking about taking on such physical punishment.
Even so, when Oliver and Wilson Hoogendorn stopped by our Frontiers office at KTVA, we were all ears. The two brothers, who grew up in Nome, were the first to summit Denali this season.
Both will soon be back in college but took time out to share their photos and video of their Denali climb.
John Thompson, who hosts KTVA’s Daybreak morning news, kept hanging around, riveted by their stories. It was then that I knew John had to host this edition of Frontiers. He and the Hoogendorn brothers already had such great chemistry. There was no choice than to let him take over the show.
John had also recently interviewed Mike...

- Description
- Three women, connected by sexual assaults that span the last decade, don't know each other. They didn't know their attacker either. But police and prosecutors believe they do know the suspect.
They have for some time.
Alphonso Mosley III is linked to the rapes through DNA evidence. A grand jury indicted him on first-degree sexual assault charges in August 2019.
Mosley is in custody now, but he was allowed to roam Anchorage freely for more than eight months after Anchorage police detectives learned his DNA implicated him in three sexual assaults, and forwarded charges to the Department of Law.
During that time, a fourth woman was raped.

- Description
- The garden in the courtyard at the Alaska Native Medical Center doesn’t have many flowers, mostly greenery that fades into the backdrop. But take a closer look.
It may be a relatively small garden, but if you become acquainted with the plants that grow there, a big world opens-up – a world we explore this week on Frontiers.
Each bed has been carefully cultivated to replicate different climates in the state. There’s one for vegetation that grows in birch forests, another for tundra, as well as Alaska’s rocky shores – a great jumping off point for a conversation about how Alaska Natives used wild plants for both food and medicine.
Here are highlights from this week’s show:
• Food as medicine: Chef Amy Foote, who oversees the kitchens at the Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC), shows us how to incorporate sour dock into akutaq, a mixture of berries and fat, also known as “Eskimo ice cream.” Sour dock is a wild cousi...

- Frontiers 182: Dunleavy Recall Campaign - Voter's Remorse?
- Runtime

- Description
- When it comes to surprises in state politics, Alaska never disappoints. In just one week, the movement to recall Gov. Mike Dunleavy collected more than 18,000 signatures. With petition sheets still in circulation, organizers estimate the campaign has probably reached the 20,000 mark.
Alaska has never seen a recall movement catch fire like this one. In the past, they’ve eventually fizzled out for lack of oxygen. But the Republican governor has made a lot of people angry with his draconian budget cuts and vetoes, especially to the University of Alaska system, which is now preparing to downsize to adjust to an unprecedented cut in state funding.
In Fairbanks, where the university is a pillar of the economy, that anger is palpable, with some prominent Republicans openly expressing voter’s remorse.
Photojournalist Will Mader and I spent a couple of days there this week to find out how much opposition to the governor crosses party lines.

- Description
- With sexual assault rates more than twice the national average, six times as high for children, it’s hard for Alaskans not to feel overwhelmed.
Our state also has one of the highest rates in the U.S. for women who are killed by men.
These numbers have been pretty stubborn – and it’s not that people aren’t doing anything to reverse these numbers. Perhaps what’s been missing is more male involvement.
A group of men hopes to change that. At the end of June, they came to Juneau from across the state to attend a conference that was simply called, “Men’s Gathering.”
They asked the question: What will it take to make Alaska a safer place for women and children? The discussions, they hoped, would launch a statewide men’s movement.
I was fascinated by what I saw at this gathering made up of about 60 people, mostly men. In more than 30 years of covering this issue in our state, I’ve never seen anything like q...

- Description
- When you see it floating in the water, you do a double take. The RivGen is an odd looking contraption with giant pontoons and underwater turbines, anchored in the Kvichak River, one of the main arteries in Bristol Bay.
But don’t let looks deceive you. It’s a very sophisticated piece of technology that turns river currents into energy, to be fed into the Igiugig electric plant.
The Ocean Renewable Power Company, based in Portland Maine, manufactures this power system.
Chris Sauer, who founded the company, says there’s nothing like the RivGen in the world. And Igiugug, a remote community at the headwaters of the Kvichak, is the first to use it.
After a prototype was tested in Igiugig in 2015, the company improved upon the design and launched its latest model this month. The new RivGen is powerful enough to meet about half the community’s electric needs.
Igiugig, like many off-the-road system communities, has gener...
