Cordova Times intern named CHS valedictorian
Cordova Times intern Mhikee (Kyi) Gasmen was named the Class of 2024 Valedictorian by Cordova Junior/Senior High School (CHS) last week. A raised Cordovan, Gasmen has been reporting and writing for The Cordova Times for six months while finishing his senior year at CHS. Some of his most notable work has been his holiday coverage at Mt. Eccles Elementary School, his weekly Around Town events roundup and everyone’s favorite Take A Break puzzle section, and his piece on how the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill still impacts Cordova’s youth 35 years later. Gasmen sought out an internship at the newspaper because of his interest in both familiarizing himself with the stories that surround him in the community, and because of his staunch belief in the mission of journalism to inform and service the public.

Citizen oversight leads to safer transportation of oil
Of all the advances made in the safe transportation of oil since the 1989 Exxon Valdez Oil Spill, perhaps the most innovative and significant was the establishment of permanent, industry-funded citizen oversight for both Cook Inlet and Prince William Sound. While the citizen advisory groups established in Alaska after the spill were modeled after the advisory committee set up for the Sullom Voe Terminal in the Shetland Islands, throughout the world, most oil development still takes place without citizen involvement. In Prince William Sound, many of the safety improvements now in place are a direct result of partnerships between industry, regulators, and citizens.
