Don't let Buccaneer/Weems on your property for seismic testing unless they pay you and post bond for property destroyed. Make sure they are totally insured. In consultation with engineers, they advised me that the seismic testing could cause problems twenty years down the line.  The thumping machine can put stresses on water or sewer pipes, pavements, and foundations. It can also stress trees or other plant life, destruct aquifers, and cause other damages. The fee for coming on your property should be well over $3,500. Get the money up front.

Thank you everyone who was involved with the "Homeless & Community Christmas Party" at the Soldotna Sports Center Dec. 17. We has a blast, as this community united together to bless others.

I am astounded at the inconsideration of drivers on the Peninsula. Lights on bright, following so close if I had to come to a sudden stop, there is no way the driver behind me would be able to avoid hitting me.

We are not in a big city folks; we live in "rural" Alaska. What is the hurry? Moreover, why must you kiss my back bumper with yours as we drive 55 mph? I have observed most people seem to ignore the speed limit and drive as fast or slow as they wish.

Well, let's talk about lights then. Just east of Kenai is about 2 miles of the most dangerous and dark areas of roadway around. This year has seen several bad accidents and a few moose killed. The biggest problem is the drivers not having control of their vehicles, driving too fast and way too close on icy roads. I have seen lighted roadways in other parts of the state, Sterling for one, way up in the Gun Sight Mountain area and Anchorage is talking about increasing lighting on the road to Wasilla.
