The Department of Natural Resources is inviting the public to attend community meetings and provide input on its proposed Eastern Tanana Area Plan (ETAP).  When adopted, ETAP will serve as the basis for the management of state lands and waters on approximately 6.8 million acres of state-owned and state-selected land distributed throughout the Tanana River Valley and the surrounding uplands and the Fairbanks North Star Borough north of the Tanana River. 

Marcelo Cabrera, Cuenca, Ecuador, Mayor, EEUU International Week, Festival, Dave Harbour Photo, Gringo TreePoint of personal privilege.  We were honored today to meet the Honorable Marcelo Cabrera, Mayor of Cuenca, Ecuador, presiding over a festival in San Sebastian Park, honoring the United States following a week of International art and cultural exchanges.  Today's event featured traditional US and Ecuadorian food, music, dancing and speeches.  We can attest that a good time was had by all and that nothing on this beautiful Saturday in the Andes had anything whatsoever to do with North American Energy Policies.  -dh
