Show HILLTOP TIMES TIME S 11 May 10, 2012 to the rescue with their massive ice-breaking ship, after the Alaskan National Guard attempted to drag an oil-industry hovercraft to the scene. It was the growing throng of journalists that scared the whales farther away from open water, rather than the Soviets, but where's the fun in that? What you do get is a human interest story filled with extra comedic characters that lighten the mood, or add romance, or include additional self-interest, where none existed before. Sure, the oil company used the event as a positive PR move, but it didn't take a clever and conniving executive's wife to point it out to her stubborn, profits-driven husband. What it did point out is that sometimes compassion can overcome common sense. In essence, human beings came together across social, cultural, political and economic divides to do a good deed. That's the "Big Miracle" of this super-sweetened adventure, which is worth revisiting. Steve Salles can be reached at films@standard.net .

"It's great to In reality, an Inupiat tribal leader spotted the "endangered" whales (a species he would not hunt, even if he wanted to, which he didn't). The three whales were all young, most likely scouting for richer feeding areas farther away than normal, since the herd was growing so large. Marine biologists suggested rescuers let nature take its course since the whales were not necessary for the breeding of their species, and because they were so badly battered and bleeding from the jagged ice forming around them. The rescuers/volunteers who created the series of breathing holes that led to open waters were paid $15 dollars an hour (decent money in 1988) and were fed bowhead whale meat stewing in pots along the route. But there's no way that was going to be mentioned in this glossed-over adventure. Indeed, the Soviets did come CLUB flights.

Bob Peterson, a 30th CES prehistoric archeologist, said one of the most gratifying things he worked on last year was the removal of the eucalyptus trees in front of the Window Cave rock art site. "For the first time in about 15 years, the sun once again shines into (Window Cave) as it sets over Tranquillon Peak during the winter solstice," Peterson said, "casting a beam of light onto a sunsign petroglyph.
