Patanjali, the highest authority on the science of yoga, provides the best meditation (Dhyana) technique:
तत्र प्रत्ययैकतानता ध्यानम् ॥3.2॥
Tatra pratyaya ikatanata dhyanam (3.2 Patanjali-Yoga sutra)
तत्र- प्रत्यय- एकतानता-ध्यानम्
जिस स्थान पर धारणा की गई हो, उस धारणा का लम्बे समय तक बने रहना ध्यान कहलाता है ।
Meaning: When you use concentration (dharana) to direct all of your awareness toward a single form or thought, you are in meditation.
The meditation technique recommended by Patanjali is to focus on a single object or thought, which means repeating a “mantra” over and over again for a long time.
The meditation technique is an effort to meditate, not meditation itself. The doer is the barrier to meditation. You can only allow meditation to happen. Your effort is only to open the door to let the sunlight in.
Meditation (dhyana) is the seventh step of Patanjali’s Eightfold Path to enlightenment (samadhi) in Yoga Sutras. The six steps leading up to meditation are called yama (abstinences), niyama (observances), asana (yoga posture), pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses), and dharana (concentration). Each step serves to ready you for the next. Steps in the sense that one follows the other. The second cannot come before the first. The first has to come first, and the second has to come second.
Salute all sages to receive their grace as you begin to meditate.
Take a few deep breaths. Deep breathing fills your lungs and raises your belly.
Face the east or the north.
To protect yourself from the pull of subtle earth currents, sit on a wool blanket with a silk cloth on top, as Paramahansa Yogananda advised.
Traditionally, yogis do not wear stitched clothing. When clothing is stitched, the free movement of energy is restricted during meditation.
During meditation, wearing a Rudraksha bead mala acts as a protective guard.
Sit still in one firm (do not move) posture. Sitting in padmasana (lotus posture) is very beneficial. Your spine should be erect and vertical, with the head, neck, and trunk aligned.
Close your eyes.
Turn your mind within. Relax your physical body. Calm your mind. Let go of everything. Be aware of the pure “I.”
Focus on your own natural inhaling and exhaling of breath. Keep listening to the sound of your in-breath and out-breath. You can recite the mantra with every breath. Mantra repetition is the foundation of meditation.
Follow the flow of your natural breath. When you watch incoming and outgoing breaths, you realize that the body and breath are separate from you. Then you know you are a witness separate from body and breath. Meditate on the witnessing being. The witnessing being, the goal of meditation, is separate from your waking state, thoughts, and intellect.
You may think there are only two steps to breathing—inhaling and exhaling—but there are actually four steps. After you inhale, there is a gap. The same is true after you exhale, there is another gap. Four steps: inhale, gap, exhale, and gap. Meditation is experienced during the gap between inhaling and exhaling.
If any thought arises, remember, everything that can be witnessed is separate from you. As a witness, you are separate from your thoughts. Focus on pure I-awareness, not passing thoughts. You are like the sky, and thoughts are like clouds that come and go. The sky remains unaffected, whether or not there are clouds. Therefore, switch your awareness to being the witness or watcher of your thoughts.
At the deepest spiritual level, you experience that you are pure, sinless, and divine. Then, you realize that “I am not the body, not the mind; I am the innermost, eternal being, self, spirit, awareness.”
This pure “I” awareness is the witness of your mind—thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Do not meditate on your thoughts. Instead, meditate on this pure “I” awareness, the witness of your thoughts.
Meditation is witnessing. Witnessing means not judging, not evaluating, and always remaining neutral. This witnessing/watching is the key to meditation. As you go on watching, your thoughts gradually go away.
Witness is I-awareness. For example, you dream. Who witnesses your dream when you wake up? Does that witness ever sleep? Yes, the never-sleeping I-awareness witnesses your dream.
Meditation cannot be denied by any religion. Every religion uses meditation as its base. For example, if you are a Christian, you meditate on your deepest being, not religion. Meditation is an inner journey and an inner science.
Only through meditation can you access your innermost self; it purges your sins and gives you a sense of purity. Through meditation, all your senses become acute and incredibly subtle. Meditation enables you to comprehend things that you normally cannot. No one can live a happy life without meditating. Meditation empowers you to be happy even when sad.
Faith is a magnet. It pulls divine grace toward you. In his book, From the Finite to the Infinite, Baba Muktananda (1908–1982) describes the power of having a firm faith by stating:
“I receive so many letters from people who were reading Play of Consciousness and received shaktipat from the book. They put the book against their hearts and began to meditate.”
May you delight in your own being through meditation!

It is extremely unlikely that Bill Gates will ever have to worry about money again in his life.
The co-founder of Microsoft is practically the poster boy for the super rich, so long has his name been associated with a level of wealth that is so astonishing it is hard to wrap one’s head around the concept. Gates, though, is hardly the archetypal image of the super-rich that so many hold; his charitable efforts have been well documented in recent years, chiefly through his own foundation.
Despite his desire to donate vast quantities of his wealth through his foundation and The Giving Pledge, a startling new report released by Oxfam estimates that Gates could well become the world’s very first trillionaire, an astonishing prediction given his commitment to extending his wealth to those who need it most.
The report, which estimates that the world could have its first trillionaire within 25 years, by which time we could well be colonising Mars if recent reports turn out to be correct, claims that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is hard on the tail of Gates, after he passed the ridiculous milestone of an $80 bn net worth recently.
Despite his eye-watering wealth, though, and perhaps in part due to his charitable exploits, Gates has been musing on how he would survive on just $2 per day, a regrettable reality for the nearly one billion humans living in extreme poverty, writes the Microsoft co-founder in a new blog post.
Gates’ method of survival on such a meagre amount of income is simple, and typically well thought out; he would raise chickens.
Explaining his thinking in the blog post, Gates rationalises his belief that those in poverty are always better off if they have chickens;
If you were living on $2 a day, what would you do to improve your life?
That’s a real question for the nearly 1 billion people living in extreme poverty today. There’s no single right answer, of course, and poverty looks different in different places. But through my work with the foundation, I’ve met many people in poor countries who raise chickens, and I have learned a lot about the ins and outs of owning these birds. (As a city boy from Seattle, I had a lot to learn!) It’s pretty clear to me that just about anyone who’s living in extreme poverty is better off if they have chickens.
In fact, if I were in their shoes, that’s what I would do—I would raise chickens.
The reasons behind his thinking? Chickens are not expensive animals to look after, they are a solid business investment and they provide nutrition for a family.
Commenting on Gates’ rationale, Chris Weller, a reporter with Tech Insider crunches the numbers behind the thinking;
Through research and trips to West Africa, Gates has found that after a period of three months, a typical owner of eight to 10 chickens can yield a flock of 40 chicks. With a sale price of $5 per chicken, which Gates notes is typical in West Africa, an owner can earn over $1000 a year. The extreme poverty line, meanwhile, hovers around $700 a year.
It is a typically well-reasoned and solid from one of the finest strategical minds in business and technology; Gates should be commended for putting his extraordinary gifts and considerable wealth towards making the world a better place.

Award-Winning Solar Home Features Latest Energy-Efficient Technology
URBANA-CHAMPAIGN – April 22, 2010 – (RealEstateRama) — On the eve of Earth Day, Governor Pat Quinn today visited the award-winning, solar-powered Gable Home on the University of Illinois’ Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) campus. The university came in second in the U.S. Department of Energy’s 2009 Solar Decathlon thanks to the home’s modern design and innovative energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies.
“The Gable Home represents the future of energy-efficient technology and home design,” said Governor Quinn. “The students who built this home are the best and brightest in their field, and they have made Illinois proud. I look forward to seeing what the team builds next year, and I wish them the best of luck.”
A team of UIUC students and faculty constructed the Gable Home using recycled, environmentally-friendly materials. The team used reclaimed barn siding, recycled grain silo walls, energy-efficient windows and doors, bamboo, and state-of-the-art solar panels on the roof.
Last October, the students traveled to the National Mall in Washington D.C. where the home competed against other collegiate projects from around the world in the 2009 Solar Decathlon, a biennial competition. The project came in second place overall and received special recognition for the appliances, hot water and home entertainment.
The university has been selected to compete in the U.S. Department of Energy 2011 Solar Decathlon. Teams of college and university students from across the country and around the world will compete to design and build the most affordable, functional and attractive energy-efficient solar-powered house. The homes will feature energy-efficient construction and appliances.
Governor Quinn toured the Gable Home on the eve of the 40th annual celebration of Earth Day. Earlier this month, he proclaimed April 2010 “Earth Month” in Illinois. Governor Quinn serves as the chairman of the Great Lakes Commission, the Illinois River Coordinating Council and the Illinois Green Governments Coordinating Council. Governor Quinn has also signed numerous Executive Orders and statutes into law to ensure greater energy efficiency, use of renewable energy, and protection of Illinois’ land, air and water resources. For more information about Governor Quinn’s sustainability initiatives, please visit www.Green.Illinois.gov.

Britain's Got Talent: Who is Siobhan Phillips? Comedy singer's height, career and family revealed
29 May 2019, 14:24 | Updated: 30 May 2019, 16:00
Siobhan Phillips has reached the Britain's Got Talent final for 2019 thanks to her hilarious Victoria Wood-style songs on the piano.
But who is the talented performer and where does she hail from? Here's all the important facts:
Who is Siobhan Phillips and how old is she?
Siobhan is a comedy singer, from Normanton in the City of Wakefield in West Yorkshire, England.
The 42-year-old began performing at the age of 16, and has been an entertainer on various cruise ships for over a decade.
Previously, she was a finalist on Channel 4's reality show Operatunity in 2003.
Siobhan Phillips height: How tall is she?
Siobhan has said that she stands at 6ft tall.
Speaking to the Express about meeting Ant & Dec, she said: “When I walked towards them, I’m quite tall I’m six foot with high heels on but they’re not that small!
"I went to them ‘people say that you’re midgets but you’re not, you’re really tall’ and they just started laughing and I think I broke the ice.
“Could’ve gone wrong really, that. But I was so surprised at how tall they actually are because everybody goes on about them being short but they’re not.”
Siobhan Phillips children: How big is her family?
Posted by Siobhan Phillips on Monday, 30 May 2016
Much of Siobhan's songs are about the daily struggles of being a mother, and she has spoken about how her two-year-old daughter Cerys has been a big inspiration to her.
"Becoming a mum has been a big thing for me," Siobhan told The Sun.
"Its been a difficult journey because you want to raise a decent human being.
"Sometimes you do feel like it's a massive responsibility. I used to be partying in Monte Carlo or Rio and being crazy. Now I've got to make sure she's my first priority."

Summer’s heat wave is banging everyone to thirst and tiredness. I have been trying summertime energy boosters like variety of Juices and Syrups. So you can see there are continuous postings of Fruit Juices, Lemonades and Milkshakes. If we have Syrups ready in the fridge, we can prepare Juice as and when required. Likewise when guests arrive at home it is easy to prepare juices while chatting with them. I have already posted 2 variety Pudina Juice. One with Jaggery and the other with Sugar as base. Those two are instant Juices and this particular one is concentrated. We can store this Mint-Ginger-Lemonade Syrup for about one to one and half months in refrigerator. Always store it in airtight container or in a bottle.
Preparation may take little more time, but end result is always good. Always use fresh Pudina/Mint leaves as it give good aroma to the Juice. Do not add more water than recommended, as it turns watery and every time you need to add more Syrup while mixing. I tried adding Soda Water when I had a heavy lunch. Mint-Ginger-Lemonade tastes great with Soda water too. Adding Ice cubes is purely optional, but this gives more taste to the Lemonade or at least mix with cold water. While preparing Mint-Ginger-Lemonade, you can add more or less Syrup depending on one’s taste buds. Adding Salt while preparing Syrup gives more taste to the Mint-Ginger-Lemonade. So try at your home, store and enjoy whenever needed.
Mint-Ginger-Lemonade Syrup Ingredients:
- Pudina or Mint Leaves – 2 Cups or 1 Big Bunch
- Chopped Ginger – 1 Tbsp
- Jeera or Cumin Seeds – 1 tsp
- Lemon – 4 to 5 or 1/4 Cup Juice
- Sugar – 2 Cups
- Water – 2 Cups
- Salt – 1/4 tsp
- Mint-Ginger-Lemonade Syrup – 2 Tbsp
- Water – 1 Big glass
- Ice Cubes
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
How to Make Mint-Ginger-Lemonade Syrup:
- Clean the Pudina/Mint Leaves twice or thrice with normal water, if the dust is more soak it for 10 minutes and wash properly to get rid of it.
- Add Sugar and 1 Cup of water in a vessel and boil until the Sugar dissolves.
- As the Sugar is getting dissolved, prepare the Pudina paste. In a mixer jar, add Pudina/Mint Leaves, Ginger and Jeera with very little water at a time. Grind till it becomes paste.
- Filter it in a vessel, add remaining water which is left from a cup of water and grind. Repeat this process twice. Add this extracted Pudina-Ginger water to the dissolved Sugar.
- Boil it for 10 minutes or switch of the flame before you get to start a single thread consistency. Now the Syrup is ready.
- Cool it completely, it may take at least one to one and a half hour. Once it cools completely add Lemon Juice and Salt to the Syrup while mixing well. Now the Mint-Ginger-Lemonade Syrup is ready.
- Pour it in a bottle and refrigerator it to use when needed. You can store this Mint-Ginger-Lemonade Syrup in refrigerator for a month.
Lemonade Preparation Time: 5 minutes
How to Make Mint-Ginger-Lemonade:
- Take a long glass, add Mint-Ginger-Lemonade Syrup around 2 Tbsp and add Ice cubes. Then pour water on it and mix well once using spoon or stirrer. Decorate with Lemon piece and Pudina Leaves while serving to get a fancy Lemonade.
- Always add the Lemon Juice at the end once the Syrup is completely cool, else it turns bitter in taste.
- You can add plain Soda Water instead of normal water. It taste great. But do not always use Soda water as it is not healthy.

Sydney Piddington spent time in Changi Prisoner of War camp during World War II. He discovered that maintaining the morale of prisoners in the camp was essential, and worked with fellow prisoner of war Russell Braddon to develop a mentalism act as entertainment for the troops. During this time, Sydney developed many unique and innovative techniques to give the appearance of mind-reading.
Following the war, Sydney married Lesley Pope, and taught her many of the tricks that he had developed. Together they designed a stage act, and found success on Australian stages. Soon after, the Piddingtons moved to London, and in time they were signed to present a series of live radio broadcasts for the BBC. Seeking ever-impressive stunts, Sydney masterminded specialized tests to demonstrate Lesley's alleged ability to receive thoughts over a great distance.
Many of the original radio broadcasts are still available. Among the more famous demonstrations undertaken by the Piddingtons were:
The Diving Bell Experiment - Lesley was submerged in a diving bell in a swimming pool in Surrey whilst Sydney conducted tests with a live audience at the BBC studios in central London.
The Tower of London - Lesley was kept under armed guard at the Tower of London across the river from the BBC studios, and was still able to determine items and names from the live audience.
The Stratocruiser Broadcast - A famous experiment where Lesley was taken to cruising altitude in a plane above a British military base. Amongst other demonstrations, she was able to determine the personal possessions of an audience member chosen at random by the panel of judges in the studio.
The methods behind the Piddingtons' act were a closely guarded secret, unknown even to the producers at the BBC. Following Sydney's death in 1991, Lesley is said to have told her son, "Even if I wanted to tell you how it was done, I don't think I would be able".
To this day, The Piddingtons are considered to be one of the greatest two-person telepathy acts of all time. Magicians have speculated that they may have utilized codes, confederates or mechanical aids.
The controls for their experiments have been criticized. Regarding their experiment that took place in the Tower of London, Lesley had produced a sentence that had been written on a blackboard in the BBC studio. However, the sentence had already been read on the radio to listeners. Psychologist Robert H. Thouless noted that "no examination of Mrs Piddington's clothes or hair seems to have been made to ensure that she had not a wireless receiving set concealed on her person."
In 2015, Martin Hart published a book which claimed to have finally revealed the secrets to the Piddington's tricks. The book is based on a notebook by Hart’s grandfather who observed their methods while working on the BBC broadcasts.

The students who participate in the “Start-Up SPbU” have invented a cream to identify skin types with bio-compatible indicators and diagnose various diseases.
Dry, oily, normal or combined? Few girls, if any, were floppy about their skin type. The skin type is a reflection of your pH balance, and an accurate way of knowing your pH is by getting advice from a professional with a pH Meter. The team of the project “A-skinChem” has found a more convenient solution: a cream that changes its colour depending on your skin type.
— Today we have a clear classification of skin types which cosmetic industry use in skin care and beauty business, — said Nina Trubitsyna, an author of the idea to create the cream, biologist, post-graduate student at SPbU. — Just as ordinary people may find it difficult to know their skin type, so the tests that you can find in the Internet may not lead to reliable results here. Creating a special diagnostic technique is vital.
Every skin type has its pH level that refers to how acidic or alkaline a substance might be on a scale of 0-13, with 0 being most acidic and 13 being most alkaline; your skin sits at an acidic pH level of 5.5: anything over 7 is alkaline and usually oily, while anything under 5.5 is considered acidic and may be dry, said the young researcher. If you apply our cream with bio-compatible indicators on your face, your face will change its colour and you will know your pH level and skin type. The team has already tested the cream on red-cabbage juice that changes its colour (either red or violet) depending on pH level.
The project is headed by Andrei Shishov, Candidate of Chemistry, Institute of Chemistry, SPbU, and comprises four students: Artem Samoilov, Capitan of the team, a first-year graduate student in history; Aleksei Pochivalov, a first-year graduate student in chemistry; Roman Gapechin, a second-year student in residency training in neurology; and Nina Trubitsyna, a second-year post-graduate student in biology.
The students have successfully passed a selection round held by the expert council and got qualified for the second round. With three months ahead, they have to choose a necessary substance-indicator, identify skin areas for diagnostics, and test the cream on those who are willing to try it. Even now the students predict how the cream may be used to diagnose various diseases in the future.
— You don’t have to figure out whether the cream will suit you or it will not, — said Artem Samoilov. — You can store skin-care products in special nano-capsules which will dissolve depending on your pH levels. Besides, this technology can be used in creating special indicators to monitor substances excreted by the skin as a screening test to assess your overall health.

Questions for Bob
What is your position on acquiring a new hospital?
The current hospital was built in the mid 1980’s. It has served the community well over the years. The clinic has been changed and remodeled several times in the interim. There have been several assessments on remodeling the current hospital. The conclusion is that it would be expensive and very disruptive over a period of years. I have read these assessments which are available to you on line at pmcak.org. I have also toured the hospital numerous times. While I would like to keep a hospital in the current location, it is more advantageous to the community to build one on a new site.
The current debate that $80 million is too much to replace the hospital, is an interesting point. There are only 4 options available:
keep the current facility until it totally fails;
look for an outside corporation or group that is willing to take it over;
bond for construction; or
seek outside sources of funding.
The Hospital Board and the Assembly have addressed each option at one time or another. Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC) has been the choice of some residents. During numerous dialogues between the Assembly and representatives of SEARHC, there were no complete answers to the questions raised by the community, Assembly and Hospital Board members. When asked if the community could have a voting representative on the board, the answer was No, maybe a representative. Without a voting member how can the needs of the community be truly represented? When asked what services would be provided, the answer was what we think you should have.
If you decide that SEARHC and the community are not a good match, which I have decided, then the next choice is to bond or to seek outside financing. The Borough does not have the financial capability to bond. Even if we did, I would not be in favor of bonding as there are a multitude of other needs. That leaves seeking outside financing as the Hospital Board, Hospital CEO and the Borough Assembly have agreed to do. To date the Borough and PMC have been successful in obtaining $28 million with the help of both Senator Murkowski and State Senator Stedman. That puts the Borough in a position to get all the ground work completed and to start construction.
Site testing is currently going on and hopefully, a site for a campus can be selected this winter. I am very supportive of the current approach and believe that we can obtain the necessary funding to complete the project without bonding or increasing taxes. The project will require full support from the Assembly and the Hospital Board. After working with the Hospital Board and the Hospital CEO for over 6 years, I have full confidence that we can make it happen. Finally, I very much would like to retain local control so medical care can be shifted and targeted to the needs of our community. If you have questions and concerns, please talk to the Hospital Board whom you elected. They are very willing to meet and talk.
Where do you stand on providing funding for child care?
Currently, the Borough has formed a task group looking at ways to fund child care. The issues involved are not straight forward. Solutions will not be easy to make. There are private, non-profit and public day care businesses in town. We are fortunate to have them. Whatever solutions the Task Group develops must represent all interests. Rules for child care facilities and oversight come from the Federal and State levels. The Borough has no say or control. The Borough can however, represent the business as a whole. That requires more coordination and finding common ground among the different entities.
I have spent over 10 years doing volunteer maintenance (even working for a year putting an addition on the center) at the Petersburg Children’s Center and have talked about day care, the needs, the concerns, and the future with numerous people.
We are fortunate to have all spectrum of day care represented from for profit to non-profit. For profit has a greater ability to set rates and opening and closing. Our non-profit answers to a board that changes frequently. The ability of parents to pay also varies tremendously. What is the responsibility of employers to help pay for child care? What responsibility does the Borough have to provide funding and how would it be done? These are but a few of the questions and hopefully as they are discussed, a consensus can be reached. Let’s allow the process that has been put in place to operate.

What is your position on affordable housing?
Some of us who go back a few years remember in the mid 1980’s we had an affordable housing situation. I built a home in Petersburg for our family during that time because we could not find housing. Interest rates were very high. That situation has returned. There are very few lots available that have utilities to the lot line. To my knowledge none of these lots are on the market. Some private entities have large blocks of land. Again, to my knowledge, no one group has plans to put the infrastructure in place to sell lots.
The Assembly voted to form a housing work group that will come forward with some recommendations. The working group will be selected in September. Listening to the audio of the recent work session intended to set some objectives for the housing work group, there were many ideas. I believe the first task of the work group will be to define the problem we are trying to solve. I heard at least 4 different problems identified.
I heard a number of potential solutions. Before we can set a course we need to look in depth at the pros and cons of each. There is also a question on the role the borough has in using public funds and resources to solve the various housing issues that have been identified.
The cost of running water, sewer, roads and electric to a tract of land is very expensive. Costs vary between $500-$900 per lineal foot depending on the muskeg conditions. One other extremely important variable is tying a new subdivision to existing sewer and water lines where those lines are already are maxed to their limits. Yes, the Borough has land that could be auctioned and sold. Without a planned approach for sewer and water the cost for an individual buyer would be almost prohibitive.
I have heard many suggestions on how to solve the problem. Many residents tell me they do not want their taxes to increase. Some suggest that changing the planning and zoning rules would help. I have looked at this. Yes, there are several of the zoning pieces that could be tweaked and may provide several opportunities for home construction but it is not the full solution that folks would like.
Let’s take a systematic approach as there are a lot of pieces to the puzzle. The Borough staff is looking at various ideas. The Assembly recently chose to let a contract for testing to see what infrastructure costs might be on several sites. Testing is being done on several sites for a new hospital. Allow the staff to look at the data. There may be a chance to have a win-win with infrastructure access to new building lots as well a the hospital. Recently several residents talked to me about the need to upgrade existing sewer and water lines in town. Maybe there is an opportunity to fit some of these parts together in one big project that again would keep costs down for all.
The Assembly recently chose to form a housing committee. Let’s allow it to operate. I believe there will be some good recommendations come from the effort. Finally, the Borough can help but what form should that help take? The ideas need to be publicly aired and discussed. I hope that can happen before a decision is forced.
Do you support raising sales or property taxes?
Sales tax is a regressive tax that impacts those least able to pay. I do not support raising sales tax above 6%. Property taxes are based on assessed value which by state law must be adjusted based on fair market value. I don't support raising property taxes at this time.
What are the biggest conflicts or issues you have right now with the Borough on the way things are going? And how would you suggest we fix those issues?
We have had at least 3 events in the last several years that have divided our community. It is time that we try to bring the community back together. To do that all of us will need to give a little.
I believe boards, commissions and the assembly need to work together and be open minded to reach solutions. With 7 people on the assembly, 1 person alone cannot make changes. We need everyone working toward some common ground.
What is your position on other infrastructure needs in the Borough?
If you have looked at my website, you will see I am a strong supporter of keeping our roads, utilities, harbors and structures in good working order. I also believe we need to expand outdoor recreation opportunities for residents and visitors. Access to water is probably one of the most important needs Borough wide. We need to make this a priority as it benefits our economy in so many different ways.
For the next 5 years we have some of the best opportunities to secure funds through the some 40+ programs generated from the infrastructure legislation. We may have the opportunity to replace existing facilities without increasing local taxes. I strongly support spending some up front money to make plans so that we can compete for these funds. I don't think we will see legislation like this again for a long time. If we have plans and community support, I believe we have a good chance to replace aging facilities and add new ones that support our Borough.
All this takes time and requires some expenditure of general revenues. The payoff later is worth the investment.
What type of new industry do you foresee in the future of the Petersburg Borough?
Good question and I wish I had a magic answer. Earlier on this website I stated that I believe there are a whole series of changes coming to Petersburg. If I’m correct, we really need to diversify the local economy but that will require public and local government acceptance of change. The questions I am asking: “Are we going to be proactive or reactive to change?” And, “how do we go about it?”
Do you support our schools?
The short answer is YES. I think our school board and administration has done an admirable job keeping our schools open and providing for the needs of the kids. Our school enrollment is dropping so the state per student contribution is dropping, resulting in less money to the district. There is no reduction in the number of buildings or maintenance needs. I believe the Borough and the School need to work more closely. Anything we can do to increase understanding of the various problems the two entities are struggling with can help. I fully support more dialogue between the school district and the Assembly.
Do you support a downsized Borough Government and supporting the private sector?
I support a slim, efficient, responsive local government. I believe that if private industry can provide the service at the same or less cost then the service should be contracted out. I also believe in using local hire whenever possible.
In regards to retirements, "is the borough financially solvent"?
I’ve had multiple opportunities to study the borough’s finances. It is financially sound and in good shape. As you probably know, the employees pay into a statewide retirement system and after retirement their annuity comes from that system.
Why do you seek public office?
Our community will undergo change in the next ten years. I don't believe that oil prices will remain at their current levels so I support not adding more programs and staff that we will not be able to sustain. I also support saving what money we can to take care of unforeseen major expenses. Over the past two years we have had at least three major unplanned expenses. Having money in the bank allowed those to be paid. Now the reserves are down substantially. Let's rebuild them while we can. Our fishing based economy will continue to go through structural change based on the changing conditions in the open ocean. We are still struggling to make this a Borough that represents all interests. There is still a question of the stability of the Secure Rural Schools and Payment in Lieu of Taxes funds from the Federal level. Our school enrollment is dropping resulting in fewer funds to the school district. We still have the same number of buildings to maintain with less money. These are but a few of the challenges that I would like to help address.
What changes would you make to the borough budget if elected Mayor?
I believe the staff did a very good job in 2022 presenting a balanced budget to the Assembly. The Assembly made a few tweaks and then passed it. It is a good budget considering the possible reductions that could have come from the State. When the school bond debt was passed to the Borough, I advocated taking it out of reserves rather than increasing taxes. Shutting down the local economy has had a major impact on revenues. Hopefully our businesses will have a good year. With our reserves being depleted it becomes harder and harder to develop a balanced budget that continues to provide current services. Hopefully, the revenue stream in 2022 will be healthy and services can be maintained at current levels. I advocate more of a status quo approach and allow reserves to be rebuilt and some funds being spent to make plans for the future.
With inflation on the rise, the cost of materials and shipping substantially increasing, I advocate a go- slow approach to any increase in staffing and adding of new programs. I do support fair wages for our Borough employees. I believe they are very responsive to keeping our community healthy.
Are you in favor of repealing the senior tax exemption? Why or why not?
I am not in favor of repealing the senior tax exemption. I believe that Petersburg has a wonderful social support infrastructure that helps those in need. A portion of the money comes from seniors. Further, many seniors do a lot of community service including paying for upkeep and maintenance of buildings, providing support services, and helping others in need.
What do you see happening with Borough revenues and expenses over the next few years?
Budgeting and finances is probably one of my strong interests. I think we need to watch closely the financial decisions made by the legislature that will affect the Borough. Taking those funds away could impact the Borough budget up to a million dollars. School funding is another area that we need to watch as there is a direct relationship between the two. It is interesting to me that giving a bigger permanent fund dividend means the money has to come from somewhere and the easiest is to cut funds that now go to municipalities. The result in many instances will be higher fees and higher property or sales tax if folks want to maintain existing services. Could we cut services? Absolutely, but does the public want those services cut?
I believe the Assembly has to be very careful and deliberate in making budget commitments. I support keeping a healthy reserve for unplanned events as for example the recent culvert failure, the fires at the motor pool and the pool. Having a reserve also gives the Assembly time to adjust budgets without having to make major reductions and swings in planned expenditures.
How would you work with the borough assembly to help it operate more efficiently?
It is very important that the Assembly work together with open dialogue. They do not have to agree but there needs to be an environment that is conducive to debate. Once a decision is made I believe each member needs to support that decision publicly and with our State and Federal Congressional delegations.
Provide a brief statement on any current topic of interest to you.
The current Federal legislation on infrastructure and inflation, I believe, provide opportunities for funding some of our aging infrastructure needs as well as to build new ones. Any action the Assembly can take to put our Borough in a position to take advantage has the potential to keep taxes lower, keep monthly charges for services lower and support improving future business opportunities.

2022 Mayoral Candidate Questionnaire
Candidate: Bob Lynn
Office Sought: Mayor
Tell us a little about yourself. Why are you running for office? What qualities distinguish you from other candidates running for this office?
More than 30 years in government, 7 years experience on the Petersburg Assembly, past member of Alaska Municipal League Policy Committee; past member of the Petersburg Borough Charter Commission. I would like to see some change. I believe that to have a community that represents all we need to work with all entities from the school, hospital, businesses and government. We have to be concerned about our economy and the services provided including schools, hospital, day care, housing, etc. I want to be a strong advocate for all aspects of our community. The theme I chose “Working Together for the Future of our Community” represents what I want to foster. Please visit my website www.lynnformayor.com for greater detail.
Are you currently, or have you ever been a member of a Union? If so, which one?
With the reduction of revenue from the State, what do you see as the best way to make Petersburg a more self-sufficient community?
I believe we are in an adjustment phase after two years of no growth and strongly opposing views on many issues. I think it is too soon to make a statement that there is a reduction in revenues. Look at all aspects of the economy both at the state and local levels. Housing starts are up; tourism is up; employment is up. Let’s give it through the year to see where we are with revenue, both state wide and locally.
Do you believe that teachers and other public employees salaries should keep up with the cost of living?
Do you support collective bargaining for public employees?
Would you restrict any issues or items from collective bargaining?
Yes, Employers should have the right to change programs and public services as needed. Employers must have the right to deal immediately with emergency situations. Employers need to have the right to deal with shortages in the job market.
When labor contracts are negotiated will you vote to provide the necessary funding to allow implementation of the contracts? Why or why not? What do you see as your role in the bargaining process, if any?
My voting track record over 7 years shows that I have supported funding for wage increases.
What is your position on contracting out (privatizing) services currently performed by public employees and/or School District employees?
If it can be shown that private enterprise can provide the service at a lesser cost I would support privatizing. That said, I would also want to have assurance that the existing affected employees can be accommodated in one way or another.
Do you believe public money should be used to fund private and/or religious schools?
I believe taxes collected should be used for public education. Parents however should have a choice of how they want their children educated and provide funds accordingly.
The question of whether to hold a Constitutional Convention will be on the ballot in 2022. APEA and other public employee groups are concerned about the risks this could pose to our constitutional rights as union members, as well as the impact it could have to our hard-earned retirement benefits being diminished. Alaska is seen by many observers as having a model constitution.
Do you support re-opening the Alaska Constitution? Why or why not? If not, would you join us in advocating against the convention?
A strong no on reopening. Let’s address the question on avocation at a later date as I believe many more highly politicized issues will surface.
Please add any additional comments/thoughts you would like our members to know about you or your focus on issues important to you.
I was the Assembly member that researched and brought forward a proposal to do a wage comparability study for borough employees. While there is no way we can make all the changes that were pointed out in the study, I do support beginning to work on changes. That said, both sides have to be willing to give and take.
