WASILLA -- Alaska State Troopers say a 13-year-old Wasilla student is under arrest after he took a gun to his school.* * * * *
Just Give Me Money (That's What I Want) Dept, Part 2: A federal judge ruled Tuesday that an Inupiat Eskimo family from Barrow is owed $4.9 million for unauthorized use of its North Slope land for oil production by BP.
That's a lot of cash. This is just the latest in a long list of faux paus by BP in Alaska, and elsewhere. It does make one question the long-term viability of the company.

Wild Thing Dept: I mentioned last week that State wildlife officials want to kill the wild wolves currently roaming the forest on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, here in Anchorage. Here's a photo of two of them, taken last October:

I have a huge problem with them charging someone the maximum they can get away with. The inclusion of terrorism in everything lately renders it meaningless.
This place is awesome - I love having neighbors like that!
(lives just off Elmendorf and thinks she recognizes that powerline throughway)
On the kid with the gun at school: do the Troopers have jurisdiction in Wasilla? I would've thought WPD would have jurisdiction... and, if he got the right one to respond, he would've gotten a slap on the wrist, if that.
On the wolves: any idea if they're opening up hunting to the public? I'd love to bag a wolf, as would my daughter.
Joe, WPD has jurisdiction inside the city limits, which rather begs the question of where the school is located. That, I don't know.
The info I've seen regarding the wolf hunt on-base has mentioned only the Fish & Wildlife folks.
