Ray Reitze, Jr is an unusual man. At the age of 7 he met Grey Wolf, an elder of the Micmac tradition of Eastern Canada and Maine who would change his life forever. In near despair over his inability to find anyone in his own tribe who would accept training in the ancient lineage that he carried, Grey Wolf found in Ray a young boy ready, eager and completely willing to accept his teaching. They ranged Northern Maine together until Ray was 16. Grandfather Grey Wolf left Ray with the responsibility to pass on the spiritual, practical and wisdom teachings of deep harmony with nature he had been taught –the ways of a real human being living sustainably on the land.

REAP's free monthly forums at the Anchorage Museum are back! And we're kicking off 6-8 p.m. Sept. 8 by delving into the land of biodiesel, specifically taking a look at the new, large-scale biodiesel plant that opened off Dowling Road in Anchorage in June. The plant, run by Alaska Waste, is collecting used cooking oil from more than 200 restaurants and businesses like the Peanut Farm, Lucky Wishbone and McDonald's and turning it into biodiesel to run its trucks. (So that means your fry grease is now powering the garbage trucks around town!)

The image of the first oiled bird pulled my heart strings. It brought that sinking feeling, like my heart just dropped into my gut. That old pain. That anger. That question: will this one do it?
I see the fishermen filing their lawsuits, angrily saying they'll make BP pay. Do they know it took 20 years for Exxon to finally pay Alaska Natives and fishermen, and that then it was just one-tenth of the initial 1994 jury verdict? Do they know thousands of those people had died before ever seeing one red cent from Exxon?
