You have accomplished much ... and have kept all informed on a factual basis. I think the energy business owes you a big pat on the back for a job well done."  Charles represents MILLER THOMSON LLP, Barristers & Solicitors, Patent & Trade Mark Agents, Vancouver.  Our winner did not have a photo but sent this short film clip, instead.  Though he sent it in a light hearted personal message, it is so outrageously funny that I hope he'll forgive my offering it to you to give mirth to what might otherwise be a routine day.  One might attribute this outstanding attorney's success as much to his sense of humor as to his competence.

  • 7-15-02: Our  90,000th reader appreciation prize Monday went to Lloyd L. Ash, P.Eng., P.Log.  Lloyd is General Manager, Trimac Logistics, in Calgary.  On June 4, Governor Tony Knowles' Staff was kind enough to give us two of the signing pens used by Governor Knowles and Premier Ralph Klein to sign their Memorandum of Understanding and Cooperation.  We are pleased to send Lloyd one of those pens, and welcome him to the Winners Circle.  Lloyd observes: "Northern Gas Pipelines is serving as an important focal point on the web where all the various stakeholders can gain a timely overview of events as they unfold in this interesting juncture in Northern development and continental energy markets."

  • 6-4-02: Our 80,000th Reader Appreciation Prize goes to Rachel Noble,

My father, Barry Noble of Noble Resource Management worked on the environmental and regulatory components of the first Mackenzie Valley route proposal (Williams Brothers). I am currently pursuing a B.A. in geography and political science at the University of Calgary and hope to become involved in the environmental and policy research/development aspects of the next pipeline proposal. I am currently working at IEG this summer, as I did the summer of 2001 and find it an excellent learning environment, especially as it is an aboriginal-owned environmental company with significant presence in the Canadian arctic. I visit the Northern Gas Pipelines site daily to keep informed primarily on the environmental, policy and stakeholder aspects of the process.  I find the website useful and insightful."

  • Winner of our 75,000th Reader Appreciation Prize today is former Alaskan Val Rader His heirloom prize is another magnificent coaster set courtesy of thoughtful BP employees working with the Alaska Gas Producers Pipeline Team during the past year!  After 47 years in Alaska, Val, an engineering and business consultant, DBA Rader Econometrics & Engineering, moved to Boston for the Dotcom  revolution.  He says, "Having worked through the Dotcom to Dotbomb transition, I've recently had a ringside seat to the disastrous effect hype and wishful thinking can have on sound economic investment analysis, not to mention 1986.  We who have personal, property, and business ties to Alaska, are challenged to understand the potential for a gas pipeline in our planning.  Dave's site has it all, the economics and the politics, more thorough and up-to-date than any other source."

  • 3-27-02.  Bill Burkhard, GSS/TC  of Sacramento wins our 63,000th Reader Appreciation Prize heirloom: a magnificent coaster set courtesy of thoughtful BP employees working with the Alaska Gas Producers Pipeline Team during the past year!  Bill kindly writes, "Northern Gas Pipelines has greatly helped us understand the complex issues affecting the Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline.  Specifically, it has helped in the planning of our direction and timing."

  • 3-15-02.  For our 60,000th reader: Ken Erickson (Photo, left) - Majority Webmaster - Alaska Legislature's Majority Coalition - Juneau!  Coming from a webmaster, Ken's words are especially meaningful: "...a professional, timely, and very informative site ... that I've often referred readers to when they need up-to-date information on gas issues affecting Alaska. ...  Keep up the good work."  In 1983, Alaska's prize European Chef, Herb Eckmann, celebrated the 20th Anniversary of his worldwide business, Alaska Sausage and Seafood.  A client in 1985, he gave the author a couple of outdoor Diamond Sharpeners, dated 1963-1983. We kept one in pristine condition (for you) and have used the other for sharpening fish hooks, knives, arrows, and chain saws.  Next year will be Herb's 30th anniversary, so this is a real collectors item!  If you didn't win the prize, you can be a winner by ordering his unexcelled seafood and meat products directly as happy customers around the world do.  And to you, Ken, Congratulations!

  • 3-12-02.  "I was your 59,000 reader ....  This is a great and informative site.  I use it often."  Phil Brna (Photo-left) - Principal Environmental Scientist - MWH - Anchorage.  Our 59,000th reader appreciation Springtime prize comes from our having participated in the founding of Anchorage's Saturday Market in the early 1990s.  Still going strong, you'll definitely want to visit some Saturday, late May through Mid-September.  Bill Webb is the manager, and he is carrying the market on in its best tradition.  Anyway, we bought several Saturday Market aprons intended as Christmas gifts and never gave them all away.  So, here is one for lucky reader, Phil, to enjoy during 2002 BBQs!

  • 2-11-02.  Our Golden Anniversary 50,000th reader appreciation prize goes to: Steve Riester (Photo)- ExxonMobil Gas Marketing Company - Houston, Texas.  Steve says: "The last time we talked I was working on the Alaska Gas Producers Pipeline Team in Anchorage.  I've since moved back to Houston but am still involved with Alaska gas.  Your website is a big help and you do a great job."   "The Great Alaskan TourSaver" is a coupon book, an Alaska BARGAIN selling for $99.50.  Promoted by another Northern Gas Pipelines reader, Scott McMurren (Alaska's travel Guru), this coupon book claims to provide over $17,000 in travel savings.  Many  in-state Alaska Airlines flights, train rides and glacier cruises are totally free.  Dozens of other 2-for-1 offerings feature flightseeing, fishing trips, adventure travel, hotels, car rentals and nature trips.  We know Steve and his family and Alaska friends will enjoy it!

  • 2-7-02.  John Copeland, Analyst, Baker & O' Brien, Dallas (Photo-with son, Austin), says, "Looks like I hit it....   ...love the website.  I was my son's age when this project began and with the efforts of great Americans like you, he will be using Alaskan gas before he is my age."   John won our last Olympic prize for the 49,000th reader, on this day before opening of the Winter Games 2002.  It is the author's 'gold polk' created by Anchorage's Kay Linton, Linton Productions.  We provided the 'polk' as a table favor given supporters of Anchorage's bid for the 1994 Olympics, at a $1/4 million fundraiser coordinated by the author and his wife at New York's Waldorf-Astoria, 3/88.  Included are a piece of Alaska jade, and a 'gold Big Apple' pin donated by New York business leader Lew Rudin along with a valuable assortment of other Olympic memorabilia.  We recruited Frank and Kathie Lee Gifford to MC the event while our Honorary Co-chairs of the event were Rudin, American Express Chairman Jim Robinson, and Baseball Commissioner Peter Ueberroth of LA Olympics fame.  Future Anchorage Mayor George Wuerch arranged for our New York Planning Office in Ebasco Services' suites in the World Trade Center; future Anchorage Mayor Rick Mystrom was AOC Chairman; while Mayor Tom Fink & Governor Steve Cowper  -- were our special guests, basking among the nation's business leaders and Olympic medal winners like Donna DeVarona, Bonnie Blair, Dorothy Hamill, Rowdy Gaines, Kristen Thorsness, Dave Jansen and many more.  With Gloria Allen's help, Simon Estes sang for us.  Lifelong friendships grew from this experience for many of us.     If one is still in some acquisition stage of life--unlike the author--this prize will be treasured for actual value as well as these memories! 

  • 2-5-02: In the Olympic spirit, we offered a wonderful prize for our 48,000th reader, this Ulu, "Legendary Knife of the Arctic", made in Alaska by Dave Gransbury's Ulu Factory.  It is another fundraising memento from Anchorage's bid for the 1994 Winter Olympics with the AOC's beautiful flame/snowflake logo etched on the blade's surface.  (Dave, the author's next door neighbor and friend, began his now legendary Ulu enterprise in the 1970s, in his garage.  While this is a valuable collector's item, we have purchased many of Dave's razor sharp knives over the years and use them almost every day in the kitchen.  There is no better way to slice pizza and sausage, cut brownies, cube beef, chop onions and other vegetables.  If you order a working knife from Dave, I guarantee it will become one of the most relied upon utensils in your own kitchen, as it has been in ours for over 25 years. -dh)     "I check your site daily because I have come to trust it as the best source for unbiased and up-to-date information on the ever changing world of arctic gas pipelines and related issues. Now it looks like I am going to reap additional dividends in the form of a cool prize."    Peter Stulken (Photo-above, right) - Trade Commissioner - International Trade Centre - Industry Canada - Calgary   "The Ulu knife arrived in the mail today. Once again, many thanks for such a beautiful gift. It makes a great centrepiece on my bookshelf."  (2-13-02)

  • 1-29: "I am...,the 46,000th person to your site...."  Gordon T. Brinker, Chief of Surveys, F. Robert Bell and Associates, Anchorage.  Gordon joins in celebrating the Winter Olympics spirit, taking a treasure from our oil industry memorabilia: an Atlantic Richfield Company official sponsor pin from the 1984 L.A. games for the 46,000th reader: probably worth its weight in gold or silver in the Salt Lake City trading booths.  We're adding a bonus: ABC's official 1988 Calgary pin.   (Author had the pleasure of attending the Calgary games with the Anchorage Organizing Committee for the 1994 Olympics.) 

  • 1-24: Reader appreciation prize for the 44,444th reader goes to Darcy Janko , AGA Consulting Group of Calgary, who says, "I was the lucky 44444th reader today, I enjoy your site with the up to date articles."  The prize is this brand new condition, "Alaska Club" travel bag given supporters of Anchorage's bid for the 1994 Olympics, at a $1/4 million fundraiser coordinated by the author and his wife at New York's Waldorf-Astoria, 3/88.  Will this mint condition 'collectors item' be worth its weight in gold or silver among memorabilia traders at the Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games next month?  (Bag donated by Author and Bob Coe, Duty Free Shops.)

  • 1-18-02: We found the 43,000th, prizewinning reader at 7:29 p.m., AT, another after hours, work ethic reader!  "The Color of Oil", Donated and autographed by author Ron Oligney on 1-15-02 at an IAEE presentation in Anchorage--especially for us--is being mailed to our industry professional in Calgary:  Our reader writes, "I have heard much about your site over the past few weeks.  I often visit your site to get the latest update to northern pipeline issues.  I find it to be a great source for current information and discussion from a number of perspectives.  ...  I believe I am the 43,000 visitor to your site."  Tod Collard, Senior Environmental Specialist, Alaska Gas Producers Pipeline Team.

Why was this page created?

The author worked for Alaskan Arctic Gas Pipeline Co. in the 1970s, but believes the best pipeline route for Century 21 should be the product of intense scientific study of current alternatives and careful compromise.  Only with 'due diligence' and good will can the state, territories, provinces, nations and industry be satisfied with the outcome.  With investor money on the line and North America's energy sufficiency at stake, critical decisions should be biased toward the free market, logic, science and diplomacy rather than politics and emotion.  (See author editorials.) Accordingly, you will not find herein a preference for any route; you will find respect for all parties. 

This volunteer effort focuses mostly on Alaska, Yukon and NWT, but acknowledges the importance of BC and Alberta, as represented by their flags above.  When we begin to see evidence of greater Pacific Rim participation, we look forward to including flags of the great nations of Japan, Korea and Taiwan.  It is a labor of love, a public service effort to document the historical importance and current events of what will surely be one (or more) of the largest single construction projects ever, as well as a milepost in the author's early career.   As you explore, you will find yet deeper caverns of information hidden from immediate view.  One hopes it merits your continuing interest, daily visits and active participation. 

The author does not claim to be an authority on the many complex issues covered here.  Accordingly, he wishes readers would consider this work-in-progress as their own site, with an invitation to contribute and edit.  To avoid the potential for error, readers are encouraged to participate.  Hundreds already have in this site's short life (i.e. begun 1-01).  Any information which adds accuracy also contributes to the historical value which may someday come of these pages.  No criticism is unwelcome.  

(Note: new readers may wonder that Northern Gas Pipelines devotes attention to TAPS and to ANWR developments.  All North Slope gas pipeline proposals begin at Prudhoe Bay adjacent to both the oil pipeline and ANWR.  One project would skirt ANWR and one would trace the TAPS trail to Fairbanks.  Accordingly, this coverage is intended to assist readers in understanding the big picture.  Similarly, we devote targeted coverage to oil & gas developments in the Yukon and Northwest Territories and Alberta.  -dh)
