The Shaky State of the State
Larry Persily
Larry Persily has worked in journalism and public service in Alaska for more than 45 years, growing ever more cynical over time. He currently owns the weekly newspaper in Wrangell, assists other Southeast weekly newspapers and writes opinion columns for the Anchorage Daily News in the delusional hope that people will read them, rise up and tell their elected officials: "Tax me!"

Healing Waters
Rev. Lise Sherry, Renee Frost
Remember to bring water from someplace that nurtured you this summer. The water can be from a fun experience, a meditative experience, a fun memory--whatever might have fed your soul. We'll combine all our waters together as a symbol of how we gather together to care, comfort, and encourage one another.
