| 12/14/07 | A group is forming that wants to collaboratively install a large (25kW) solar
power system here in Fairbanks. The system would be owned by the individuals who participate in its construction. It will be tied into the
grid via the SNAP program (GVEA) and the amount of money produced as green
energy will be split up proportionally to the shares.
If you are interested, please contact uncommon_ground@yahoo.com
and have a look at their flyer.
You may also contact Franziska fnfk@uaf.edu and Pete
347-4479 who are the initial coordinators of the solar initiative. |

The primary agenda item was how to fund the $32,000 needed for our portion of the 90/10 matching grant we have received to pay for the replacement of the collapsing Moose Mountain Road culvert and slight reroute of the T at the bottom of the mountain. A tax cap increase is one possibility.

Lynn has been in the hospital for several weeks while undergoing a series of abdominal surgeries. You may know Lynn from her work at the Goldstream Store and her work in the community. Lynn has been the catalyst for benefits just like this one to help people in the community. I am happy to announce that just under $15 thousand was raised to help Lynn with her hospital bills.

A former State Trooper passed on this winter driving tip:
When going downhill, putting an automatic transmission into a lower gear
(not too low, but lower than "drive") or keeping a stick shift in a
lower gear, can slow the vehicle down without losing traction or
steering capability.
People have a tendency to use their brakes in icy downhill conditions.
This tends to cause the vehicle's tires to break traction, slide, and
ultimately lose steering control. Using the transmission to slow the
vehicle down is much more productive than using the brakes.

| 10/27/03 | This table
from the D.O.T. concerns the number of vehicles that used Spinach CK Rd in May 2003. It's interesting
to note that vechicle use on Spinach CK Rd in May was below Moose Mtn Rd road use in October. |
| 10/27/03 | This very informative table
from the D.O.T. concerns the number of vehicles that used
Moose Mtn. Rd. from Sept 27 through Oct. 9, 2003. Each record is one trip over the counter on the road,
so a trip out to town and back would count as 2 records.
We'll talk more about it at the next road service
meeting on 11/6/03. Amazing how many vehicles use this road!! |
| 10/15/03 |

Spinach Creek and 3 from Moose Mtn. |
