Print article In fall of 2019, Alyssa and I left Fairbanks for Anchorage. A beautiful Alaska fall season. People Mover, a function of the municipality, introduced us to the Alaska Native Medical Center, White Spot Cafe and various businesses. Please wear your masks when riding People Mover. I don’t want the Municipality of Anchorage to suspend People Mover because a rider isn’t covering his/ her nose and mouth. Oscar Frank Jr.

Bernina Venua, the incident commander for the Bristol Bay Area Health Corporation s COVID-19 task force, said the corporation plans to start administering the vaccine in the last week of December.
