Frontiers 13: Gov. Bill Walker’s Frontier

Title: Frontiers 13: Gov. Bill Walker’s Frontier
Runtime: 23:46
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: No matter who has served as governor — Republican, Democrat or Independent — the start of a new administration is like embarking on a new frontier.

For Gov. Bill Walker, who has now served as Alaska governor for eight months, breaking ground hasn’t been easy.

Title: Frontiers 14: Renewable Alaska
Runtime: 24:25
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: When it comes to renewable energy, Alaska is wide-open frontier. The state has been described a giant laboratory for all kinds of energy: hydropower, wind, geothermal, solar, biomass and tides.

This week on Frontiers, the focus is on Kodiak, one of the leaders in the nation when it comes to utilizing both wind and hydropower in tandem.

Title: Frontiers 16: When Words Return
Runtime: 24:25
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: Think back before radio, TV and movies. There was only the story — words that returned from the past and lived on into the future.

In Alaska Native cultures, these stories were passed, almost word for word, from storyteller to storyteller. Sometimes, they included catchy songs.

This week on Frontiers, we hear from two men who inherited an oral library of stories from their grandparents – John Active, a Yup’ik storyteller, and David Katzeek, a Tlingit orator and educator.

Title: Frontiers 17: Kenai Fish Wars
Runtime: 24:25
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: Our entire program is devoted to the battle between the Kenai River sport fishing industry and the Cook Inlet setnetters — a fascinating story that involves politics, class warfare, economics, science and, most important of all, passion.

There’s something primal about the emotions fishing evokes in Alaskans everywhere, but you really see it on the Kenai Peninsula — the recreational sport fishing grounds for Southcentral Alaska. It’s where the world record was set for the largest king salmon ever caught, a 97-pound, 4-ounce fish, caught by rod-and-reel. The record still stands.

Frontiers 35: Best of Frontiers, Preserving Native Languages & Culture

Title: Frontiers 35: Best of Frontiers, Preserving Native Languages & Culture
Runtime: 24:23
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: When KTVA launched Frontiers in May of this year, our vision was to bring you the faces and places of Alaska, as well as the hopes and dreams of Alaskans.
We knew we would never run out of Frontiers to explore — that each show would tackle not only the challenges our state faces, but also look at potential solutions.

Title: Episode 18: The President’s Visit
Runtime: 24:26
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: The upcoming visit of President Barack Obama is a story that’s hard to get your arms around. The information released early on has been intentionally vague, but we’re told that’s typical of presidential visits.

But what’s not typical is the historic nature of the president’s journey to Alaska. He’ll be the first president to venture into the Arctic.

Frontiers 20: ‘Forget Me Not’ Movement Puts a Face on the Homeless

Title: Frontiers 20: ‘Forget Me Not’ Movement Puts a Face on the Homeless
Runtime: 24:15
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: We had the privilege of spending time with Samuel Johns, an Alaska Native rap artist, who has used his music to bring attention to domestic violence, suicide prevention and, most recently, to the homeless of Anchorage.

Title: Frontiers 40: Alaska Turf Wars
Runtime: 24:24
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: Alaskans, as a group, believe that we’re different. And we are.

The size of our state, its extreme weather, its remote areas with no road access, its diversity of Alaska Native cultures, the dependence of many Alaskans on wild foods, our state government’s dependence on oil revenue, our Permanent Fund Dividend checks…

Yes, all these things make us very different from other states.

But federal policies after statehood also define our uniqueness – landmark legislation like the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act and the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act.

Title: Frontiers 25: Up From the Ashes
Runtime: 28:31
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: It’s hard to believe it’s only been four months since wildfires swept through the Willow area, destroying 55 homes and dozens of other buildings.

Many did not have insurance. Some couldn’t afford it. Others weren’t eligible, due to building code requirements or their location. Even those with insurance have not had an easy time of it.

A lot has happened since our last Frontiers program on the wildfire, which aired a week after it blackened more than 7,000 acres and caused an estimated $8 million in damages.

Title: Frontiers 22: Fiscal Frontiers
Runtime: 28:27
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: I have a fascination about things created in garages. Think Steve Jobs, who started the Apple computer empire in the family garage. And where did that term “garage band” come from?

On Frontiers this week, we check out a project that was born in an East Anchorage garage — the brainchild of Gunnar Knapp, who conceived it, and Ian Laing, who built it.

Title: Frontiers 5: Erin's Law
Runtime: 25:59
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: This week, Frontiers looks at how legislation aimed at protecting children has turned into a political football. The show follows the bill’s twists and turns during the 90-day session and the special session in Anchorage.

Currently the fate of House Bill 44, the Alaska Safe Children’s act, hangs in the balance.

The measure recently underwent a substantial rewrite in Sen. Mike Dunleavy’s Senate Education Committee, much to the anger of HB 44 supporters, who say Dunleavy’s changes have effectively killed the bill.

Title: Frontiers 41: Schools on the Edge
Runtime: 24:30
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: To close or not to close…

That is a big question for children in small, struggling schools across the state.

Although no bill has been introduced yet, a proposal from Rep. Lynn Gattis to raise the minimum enrollment for schools has generated a lot of controversy at the State Capitol.

Currently a school must have 10 students to receive state funding. Gattis, who represents Wasilla, would like to raise the bar to 25 — a move that could potentially shut down about 60 schools.

Title: Frontiers 52: Pipeline to Success
Runtime: 24:25
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: In this Frontiers program, we take a look at another kind of pipeline -- one for academic success, in which students from small, isolated communities can get credentials from the Rural Human Services program, headquartered at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Title: Frontiers 57: Bears in Our Backyard
Runtime: 24:24
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: I don’t know about you, but bears are always a bit of a mystery to me. Some people walk away unscathed from close encounters with bears. For others, life turns tragic in a matter of seconds.

With humans and urban bears crossing paths more frequently this spring, we thought this Memorial Day weekend would be a good time to take a closer look at the bears in Anchorage’s backyard.

Title: Frontiers 105: Choose Respect
Runtime: 24:27

Description: The Kodiak Island community of Old Harbor takes a stand on sexual assault and domestic violence.

Frontiers 61: Unfinished Legislative Business

Title: Frontiers 61: Unfinished Legislative Business
Runtime: 24:26
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: So far this year, legislators have been in Juneau for about five months. The stakes are some of the highest in state history. With a $4 billion deficit this year and another multi-billion dollar gap projected for next year, the state’s savings accounts are draining fast.

Title: FRONTIERS 103: Time to Dance Again
Runtime: 24:27
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: This week’s show, “Time to Dance Again,” is about the power of community — the embodiment of that Margaret Mead quote: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world…” This week we take you to Old Harbor on the southeast end of Kodiak Island, a fishing village of about 220 people.

Title: Frontiers 147: Angling for Tomorrow
Runtime: 24:27
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: In Southwest Alaska, a lot of good ideas start in a steam bath or maqii, an Alaska Native version of the sauna -- small wooden buildings with stoves inside, stoked with driftwood, where friends and family sit together and let the heat cleanse their bodies and souls.

Tim Troll remembers a night in the steam, when an elder from Ekwok, Luki Akelkok, hatched an idea -- a fly fishing academy for young people in Bristol Bay.

The school would also expose them to jobs as guides or other careers in the sport fishing industry, which mostly employs people from outside the region.

That was more than ten years ago. Today, the Bristol Bay Fly Fishing and Guide Academy recruits about 15 students every summer for a week of intensive training -- in not only fly fishing and tying flies but courses in marine ecology, fisheries management, and the business of running a lodge.

This year the academy was held at the Bear Trail Lodge in Naknek, which is ru...

Runtime: 24:29
Date posted: 9 years ago
Description: One of the things we try to do on Frontiers is go beyond the sound bites, especially when it comes to politics.

Some of the highlights on this week’s Frontiers program:

– Profile of House Speaker Mike Chenault.

– Guests: Tim and Michael Bradner — The brothers publish the Alaska Legislative Digest and write extensively about state politics and resource development. Michael also served as House Speaker from 1975-76.

– KTVA’s Liz Raines has a preview of the races to watch in Tuesday’s primary.

Title: Froniters 67: Discovering Alaska
Runtime: 24:26
Date posted: 9 years ago
Description: In a few weeks, those leviathan RV’s will no longer cause traffic bottlenecks on the Seward Highway. As we approach Labor Day business will begin to taper off in the shops, which cater to tourists – and Alaskans will breathe a collective sigh of relief, glad to have their money, but also glad to see them gone.

In a few months, we’ll find out whether the “Summer of 2016” lived up to predictions that it would be a banner tourism year. Industry experts say this season’s numbers will be a predictor of future visits because from each crop of tourists, we see a lot of repeat business.

Title: Frontiers 70: Journey to Monk’s Lagoon
Runtime: 24:25
Date posted: 9 years ago
Description: Most Alaskans have probably never heard of Monk’s Lagoon, nestled just across the water from Kodiak on Spruce Island. But pilgrims from all over the world seek it out because it’s considered one of the holiest places on the planet.

This week on Frontiers, we visit Monk’s Lagoon and look at some of its fascinating history.

Frontiers 72: The Lullaby Project and its Messages of Love

Title: Frontiers 72: The Lullaby Project and its Messages of Love
Runtime: 24:25
Date posted: 9 years ago
Description: Scientists have documented the healing powers of music on babies in neonatal care, as well as on Alzheimer’s patients. The Lullaby Project at the Hiland Mountain Correctional Center is yet another project that seeks to put to use the untapped potential of music.

In this week’s Frontiers, we follow the Lullaby Project from its beginnings, in July, to its work this fall, in which two groups of women come together — mothers serving time at Hiland and local musicians, who help them compose a lullaby for their children.

Frontiers 73: Zuill Bailey, Serenading Alaska

Title: Frontiers 73: Zuill Bailey, Serenading Alaska
Runtime: 24:27
Date posted: 9 years ago
Description: Zuill Bailey and his cello, which he describes as his soulmate, have serenaded Alaska off and on over the last 10 years.

Now, he says, the state has begun to feel more like home — because he spends about four months a year here to promote classical music.

This week on Frontiers, we take time out to get to know a cellist, whose mission is to put Alaska on the map for classical music — through his work at the Sitka Summer Music Festival, a month-long series of concerts — and his ever-growing outreach across the state.

You’ll find Bailey performing for well-heeled, concert-goers in Anchorage, but also North Slope oil workers, inmates at Hiland Mountain Correctional Center and school kids in remote communities.

As Bailey is known to say, “Music has no boundaries.”

Frontiers 74: Crystal Serenity’s Historic Voyage

Title: Frontiers 74: Crystal Serenity’s Historic Voyage
Runtime: 24:25
Date posted: 9 years ago
Description: When the Crystal Serenity pulled into New York Harbor on Sept. 16 in the early morning light, it signaled the dawn of a new age for the Arctic.

It was the largest ship of its kind to transit the Northwest Passage. The cruise liner carried more than a thousand passengers, outfitted with the latest in sonar and radar technology, as well as two helicopters to scan for ice. The ship made the journey from Seward to New York City in just 32 days.

Compare that to 1906: It took Roald Amundsen, the first explorer to navigate the Northwest Passage, three years to complete his journey in a fishing boat with a crew of six.

Some Crystal Serenity passengers paid more than $100,000 a piece for this historic ride. On this episode of Frontiers, we revisit the ship’s journey and look at what it means to Alaska’s future.

Title: Frontiers 75: Bridging the Divide
Runtime: 24:25
Date posted: 9 years ago
Description: Aleknagik is the gateway to the Wood-Tikchik State Park and to some of the most beautiful scenery in Alaska. The waters are so clear, you can see the salmon swim – and whether it rains, shines or snows, there’s no such thing as a bad view.

We became intrigued with Aleknagik, after a bridge was finished there last year connecting two sides of the lake.

Now this wasn’t just any bridge. The community has fought for it since 1933, when the first school was built there.

With only one school for two sides of the lake, students were always crossing back and forth, a journey that could at times be dangerous. In fact, there have been at least 10 drowning deaths on the lake since 1960.

For a community of 200 to 300 people, the biggest hurdle was the cost: the $20 million dollar price tag for the bridge and the virgin roads needed to access it. Also, not everyone in the community wanted the bridge. Many preferred the isolation — and par...

Frontiers 69: Alaska State Fair – Family, Farms and Fun

Title: Frontiers 69: Alaska State Fair – Family, Farms and Fun
Runtime: 24:24
Date posted: 9 years ago
Description: The Alaska State Fair is the rite of autumn for many Alaskans who trek to Palmer to see everything from giant cabbages to monster trucks and baby pigs. This week on Frontiers, just before the state fair gets underway in Palmer on Thursday, we look back on its 80-year history.

Title: Frontiers 77: AFN – 50 years of change
Runtime: 24:26
Date posted: 9 years ago
Description: This week on Frontiers, we turn the clock back to October 1966 – the year the Alaska Federation of Natives formed.

In the confines of a half-hour program, it’s hard to do this David and Goliath story justice, but we hope to give our viewers an appreciation of how some of Alaska’s most economically disadvantaged people came together to change history.
