Enforcement Stepped Up in Kenai For 2009.
Fishermen be warned, Kenai law enforcement has announced that it is stepping up the number of patrol officers looking for violations along the roads and on the river. Sergeant Scott McBride of the Kenai Police Department said speeding is always an issue during the warmer months. In fact, he says the number of speeding tickets being written has increased dramatically. He also said the Kenai Police Department would be increasing its patrols throughout the busy summers tourist season. Three Kenai Police Officers will be returning from the academy at Sitka by the summer months. Additionally, seasonal enforcement officers are also hired to enforce the city regulations on the beaches around Kenai especially during the dipnet season.

Each year, massive numbers of salmon return to the Kenai River during May through October. But during the month of July, it's the return of the Red Salmon that seems to bring the largest number of locals to the mouth of the river, to the beaches, boat launches, RV parks, and gas stations where they purchase ice for the coolers, beer for the belly and fuel for the car, (if there is any room left on the credit cards). Yes sir, it's this period of the year that’s marked by those same activities, conditions, and events that signals our manly little brains to abstain from all acts of intelligence, thoughtfulness or prudence and to just act upon pure animal instincts. It's finally summer again, time for fishing and isn't that what we all live here for?

NOTE: BENEFITS OF WILD ALASKA SALMON IN YOUR DIET.
The benefits associated with eating wild Alaskan salmon just keeps on mounding up as more research is completed into how to combat many of today's leading life threatening problems. Recently, I personally was enlightened into all this information after suffering from congestive heart failure. I have had to completely rethink many of the daily routines that have been a part of my life for so long now. My studies included information from the American Heart Association, American Medical Association, The Mayo Clinic, Etna Insurance Corp., and the literature and conversations with everyone at LifeMasters. From this information one constant rang true, eating more wild Alaskan salmon was something I needed to start incorporating into our families diets along with reducing salt and getting more exercise all year through. Below is a summation of the continuously reiterated points from all avenues of Heart Care I have studied to date that relate to the salmon of the Kenai River and why we all need to eat more of this excellent food source.

• Adults and children can safely eat the Wild Alaska Salmon caught in our pristine waters by both comercial and sport fishermen each year.
• Wild Alaska Salmon contain low to no contaminant levels.
• Wild Alaska Salmon are high in heart-healthy omega-3s.
• The oils found in Alaska's salmon have been found to lower many of the problems that cause high blood pressure due to cardiovascular disease.
• The omega-3s have been proven specifically to help reduce high cholesterol.
• Eating fish that contains Omega-3 reduces the risk of dangerous blood clotting.

• The Journal of the American Medical Association reports that Omega-3 fatty acids in such fish as salmon and albacore tuna reduce a woman's risk of heart disease by one-third.

And just to ballence things out and so you know that eating salmon is also good for us guys too, The New England Journal of Medicine reports a decline of about 80 percent in heart disease for men from the Omega-3s in fish.
