Brother’s disability led youth to career path
Grand Island Independent – Jun 1, 2008
Jacob is the reason that Bogus originally considered a career as an occupational therapist and now is an education major at Chadron State College. Jacob is the reason that Bogus will participate in two three-day Easter Seals Camps near Central City this summer with the first camp in June and the second one in July. Jacob is the reason that Bogus helped this past weekend with morning respite care at Third City Christian Church. He and others cared for special-needs children allowing their families to run errands or just have a brief time off from taking care of their children. Jacob is also the reason that Bogus hopes to get a group started in Grand Island for siblings of special-needs kids.
More Alaska tourists seeking out the softer side of adventure travel

(But) the amount of overnight multi-day usage has gone down dramatically. The company in the 1990s ran up to 10 groups at a time doing weeklong sea kayaking trips in Southeast but has trimmed that back to one said former owner Ken Leghorn who still occasionally works as a consultant. In Glacier Bay the company stopped selling its longer camping trip in the East Arm and now camps with clients only two nights in the West Arm during a nine-day itinerary that brings them to Admiralty and Chichagof islands as well as Glacier Bay. The changes in demand prompt successful companies to tweak itineraries or completely change focus to book clients. Becky and Sean Janes started Above & Beyond Alaska in 2002 with an eye toward multi-day glacier and sea kayaking trips but by 2005 had switched focus to day-long excursions. That’s when their Juneau business took off. Ninety percent of their clients now book day trips… “People want to do day outings and come back to the comforts of a hotel. And instead of posting scheduled departure dates for multi-day trips on the Web site the Janes’ offer custom itineraries to give travelers looking for wilderness immersion precisely what they want. Usually that’s no longer than two to five days of camping Janes added. At Alaska Discovery changes meant moving some operations out of Alaska. Reservations marketing and upper management are run from the office in Emeryville Calif. Operations in Southeast are pared down and spread out. There is a warehouse in Juneau a three-person office in Gustavus and a few guides employed in Haines.
