JKEEP AN EYE OUT FOR DORA IN BIB #1 — IDITAROD STARTThe Iditarod Trail Committee announced last month that long-term Iditarod volunteer, Philip Esai, has been named the 2015 Honorary musher. Each year, the Iditarod Trail Committee board of directors have honored one or more people, not necessarily mushers, who have made a significant contribution to the sport of sled dog racing.

Philip, a late MTNT Shareholder, and his widow Dora have participated in every race as a volunteer since the beginning. The Athabascan Indian couple would house mushers in the early years of the race at their cabin along the banks of the Kuskokwim River at Big River, located half way to McGrath from Nikolai. Their daughter Marty remembers, “There was no room in the cabin because mushers were sleeping everywhere.”

The Esai family would cook pots of moose stew, moose steaks, beaver and the occasional lynx fry. The coffee pot was always on for anyone traveling the trail, not just the mushers! Philip also greeted, fed and housed 50 mushers for several years at the Runkles bison camp located along

the Farewell Burn Trail in the Peloc Hills 40 miles out

of Nikolai. More recently, Philip and Dora set up

a 12x14 wall tent complete with a wood-burning stove and spruce bough floor for mushers to sleep in at the Nikolai checkpoint.

Philip was a hard working volunteer who worked on the original trail from Rohn towards McGrath. Most recently, at age 72, Philip helped with re-opening 28 miles of trail destroyed during the Turquoise Lake Fire in the Farewell Burn. He was instrumental in locating the original trail and helping to chain saw, move trees and brush, all during average temperatures between 25 and 30 below zero each day.

Philip had also gone out on the trail over the years in search of lost mushers and lost dogs. He regularly volunteered as a checker and once stayed up for 48 hours to make sure his duties were complete. Passionate about the race and the trail, Philip would do anything to help the Iditarod succeed. He was a dog musher from his early childhood and felt a special connection to the dogs and the mushers.

Philip passed away on May 21, 2014. He is survived by his wife Dora, daughters Marty and Jacque, son Daniel and son-in-law John, as well as many grandchildren. Mark Nordman, Race Director for the Iditarod said, “His laughter, hardworking spirit and good cheer during the Iditarod race will be greatly missed.”

As is tradition, representatives of the family will participate in a variety of activities prior to and during the race. Attendees will hear more about Philip’s contribution to the Iditarod at the pre-race Mushers Banquet to be held at the Dena’ina Center on Thursday, March 5th. Additionally, a representative of the family will help to honor Philip by wearing the honorary #1 bib and riding in the sled basket of the first musher to leave the start line in downtown Anchorage.Iditarod XLIII will get underway at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 7, 2015 in downtown Anchorage

at the corner of 4th Avenue and D Street.

I hope this message finds you happy and healthy and enjoying the new calendar year. New years mark new beginnings, and same rings true for MTNT, Ltd.

The Board of Directors welcomed 2015 with a new Chair, two new Directors, and an aggressive (but feasible) Strategic Plan for fiscal years 2014 through

2016. The Plan communicates the Board’s goals for the next two years, and outlines the actions required by MTNT, Ltd. managers to achieve these goals. I look forward to discussing the Plan in greater detail with you; however, because this is my first ‘Message from the Chair’ please allow me to tell you a little about myself.

Raised in McGrath, I currently reside in Anchorage with my husband of nearly 10 years, Emmanuel, and our two children, Kellan (3 years) and Kaia (5 months). Emmanuel works as a Maintenance and Logistics Manager for ASRC Energy Services, Inc., and I am privileged to serve as General Counsel for the Alaska Federation of Natives. Prior to joining AFN, I worked for a number of private and public law firms, as well as the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee – Subcommittee on Defense. I hold a Bachelors of Arts degree from the University of Alaska – Anchorage and a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Washington School of Law. I am also a third-generation Board Chair, behind my grandmother, Alice Harris, and mother, Jo Royal.

While I have only been Chairman a short time, I have already worked with the Board through two difficult but crucial decisions to help MTNT continue to grow strong. In October of last year, the Board elected to dissolve our electrical contracting subsidiary, Aztech Electric, Inc., that threatened MTNT, Ltd.’s financial health. The other challenging decision we were faced with was whether or not to declare a Shareholder dividend in December. As a Board, we agreed that distributing a dividend was not in the best interest of our Shareholders because of MTNT, Ltd.’s negative net income for the year and our need to retain cash for operational stability. With both of these pronouncements behind us, the Board of Directors looks forward to advancing MTNT, Ltd. in 2015.

In closing, my family and I wish you continued professional and personal success in the new year. Very Respectfully, Nicole Borromeo, Board Chairman

MESSAGE FROM YOUR CHAIRMAN

M T N T N E W S L E T T E R MCGRATH I TAKOTNA I NIKOLAI I TELIDA PA G E 3

Life has so many unknowns and it really concerns me with regards to MTNT’s Shareholders and what happens to your MTNT shares or your MTNT life insurance if something were to happen to you and you haven’t made time to update your records with MTNT.

Imagine this scenario – a Shareholder recently divorced, but never updated his records. That Shareholder passes away unexpectedly. After the passing, the family, including his new wife, learned that the ex-wife inherits his shares and his life insurance.

Please don’t let something like this or something similar happen to you! In my 32 years of being involved with MTNT as a Board member or your CEO, I can tell you countless stories that are similar to this.

Of the 333 Shareholders who originally enrolled to MTNT or inherited shares from an original Shareholder, one hundred and sixty seven (167) have passed on before us. We still have 387 Shareholders (many have inherited shares), so you can imagine how critical it is to keep your records current.

If you have had a major change in your life, i.e., you have moved, a change in family relations has occurred, you have changed from one bank to another, please contact Betty Magnuson, our Shareholder Records Manager, at 907-524-3391 or via email at [email protected] to let us know of the changes, or you can utilize the forms we have included along with this newsletter.

To encourage you to “get this done,” we are offering a little incentive by offering a few cash prizes. All Shareholders who update their records that are received by MTNT by April 30, 2015 at 4:30 p.m., will be entered into a drawing for $500, $250, and $100 prizes. Winners will be selected the following day.

Also, we have a number of Shareholders who have not completed their paperwork so we haven’t been able to transfer shares. Because of that we have dividends that are being held.

In closing, it is very important and means a lot to me that your records remain current at all times. If you think you may have updated your records, but are not sure, please contact Betty or come to one of our offices to check.

I wish you all the best for 2015!

Sincerely, Vicki Otte, CEO

MPL RENOVATES THE WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON BUILDING IN D.C. by Dave Roels, MTNT Project ManagerThe MTNT Properties, LLC, Washington, D.C. team has been hard at work this year inside the William Jefferson Clinton Building in down town Washington DC. The building that used to be the headquarters for the U.S. Postal Service now serves as the National Headquarters for the Environmental Protection Agency.

The MPL team has been working on clearing loose lead based paint around the windows in the building, then sealing the windows shut and applying a fresh coat of paint. The work on the windows not only creates a healthier work place for the hundreds of employees in the building, but also reduces drafts around the windows, thus reducing energy costs.

MTNT also renovated numerous rooms and offices in the building that had been damaged by a leaky roof. We constructed a sound proof room for sensitive meetings, and we installed an indoor range in the basement for the Secret Service.

The building itself has many displays of stone and wood architecture, and has numerous murals painted along the corridors depicting different aspects of American life.

The MTNT team has received numerous praises from the government for the work it has done in the building, both

for the quality of work, and for the attention to detail and care while working around so many sensitive historic artifacts.

The work is overseen by MTNT Site Superintendent, Tim Donohue, and the work is being performed by MTNT employees Alirio, Andres and Manuel (pictured above).


ANDREWS AFB SUBSTATION & SWITCHING BUILDINGS RENOVATIONMTNT Energy, LLC’s Single Largest Award to DateDecember 15 marked the beginning of the substation renovation project located at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, the single largest MTNT award to date.

Reinhard Mueller, MTNT Chief Operations Officer and his team played an instrumental role in producing the winning

proposal and negotiation of this project. MTNT along with our long-term project partners, Inglett and Stubbs International, of Marietta, Georgia, will see this project through to completion, spanning approximately two years involving the replacement of transformers and switchgear located at the base where Air Force One is kept.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHTS

Three massive transformer units will be removed and replaced with two new transformers and associated switchgear, allowing room for two more “line-ups” to be installed at this facility.

MTNT OPERATIONS

In an effort to build a closer synergy between our project sites and our MTNT Board, the Board decided to send Board President Frank Miller to a representative group of project sites to better understand the issues that face the sites, and have a better working relationship of what each of the sites is involved with.

Frank began his tour by meeting COO Reinhard Mueller in Spokane for a tour of the Aztech operation. From there he traveled with Reinhard to Sparta, WI and met with the staff located there. This stop would also take in our Ft. McCoy Facilities Maintenance operation where Frank met with the nearly 50 people working alongside Brad Knoll, the MTNT Project Manager for Ft. McCoy. Frank was also met by the Director of Public Works and his staff; who is our ultimate customer. He joined the team in a picnic style lunch prepared by the staff before heading off to Washington DC that evening.

When Frank arrived in Washington, he was met by David Roels, and shown the 9-11 lobby that MTNT constructed and completed by September 11, 2013. Our performance there has invited further work in that facility, which David manages along with work in other places around the Capital. The next day, Frank was hosted by Tim Donohue,

The next morning, Frank and Reinhard left for Atlanta, Georgia, where they were greeted by Mike D’Itri and his staff that manages our work at the Centers for Disease Control. Frank toured the heart of this country’s efforts to stem some of the worst diseases known to man, including the Ebola virus. Mike showed Frank and Reinhard around several of the concurrent work sites before the team gathered for dinner, followed by a hearty send-off for the two leaving Atlanta the following day, returning to their respective homes.

To the right, Frank is pictured where MTNT performed renovations at the Transportation Security Administration’s Systems Integration Facility (TSIF) located at the Regan National Airport in Washington, D.C. The entrance to the facility, which had previously only housed a security desk and some chairs, was transformed into a small museum dedicated to those who lost their lives during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. On display in the lobby are stone pieces recovered from the Pentagon, a piece of warped steel from the World Trade Center, and a panoramic wall mural showing the field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where on that tragic day, the final plane was forced to crash thanks to the many brave passengers on board. The design of the room, with its soft light and curved knee walls invites visitors and employees to take a slow walk through the small area, and provides a place of peace to reflect on that day’s events. The lobby also serves as a constant reminder to those who work inside the facility how important their job is to the safety and wellbeing to each and every one of us who enjoy safe air transportation.

Pictured from left are MTNT Properties, LLC General Manager Mike D’Itri, MTNT Board President Frank Miller, and President of Inglett & Stubbs International-US Terry Anthony. During Frank’s MTNT Operations tour, he had the opportunity to visit the ISI facilities in Atlanta to meet the managers. Frank is pointing to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan on the map, the place where a long and successful relationship between ISI and MTNT began. Since our time partnering together to serve Operation Enduring Freedom, ISI and MTNT have teamed at the Centers for Disease Control, and more recently at Andrews Air Force Base, where ISI-US is providing the electrical expertise for our project there.


GOOD NEWS FOR CHINOOK SALMON ESCAPEMENT MONITORING by Zachary W. Liller, Fisheries Research Biologist, Kuskokwim Area, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Commercial Fisheries

MTNT SHAREHOLDER LANDS

This map shows the location of weirs used to monitor Kuskokwim River salmon.

Beginning in 2015, The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) and MTNT will be operating a salmon counting weir on the Salmon River of the Pitka Fork. This project will greatly improve ADF&G’s ability to monitor the escapement of Chinook salmon to the headwaters of the Kuskokwim River.

Chinook salmon that spawn throughout headwater tributaries are unique, and they require special attention. Studies conducted over the past 15 years confirm what many residents of upriver communities already know – headwaters Chinook salmon are genetically unique, larger, and migrate up the river earlier compared to Chinook salmon that spawn in downriver tributaries.

For many years, ADF&G has monitored the annual escapement of Chinook salmon in the headwaters. Techniques such as aerial surveys and tagging studies have helped us identify which tributaries are most important for Chinook salmon. Results of these studies and traditional knowledge indicate that the Salmon River of the Pitka Fork is an important location for an escapement monitoring project.

Weirs are our best tools for getting very accurate counts of Chinook salmon. Weirs are specialized fences placed across the river that concentrate fish so that they can be counted and sampled to determine age, sex, and size. Staff will live at the weir site 24 hours a day, seven days a


week throughout the entire Chinook run to make sure that every fish is counted and no fish are harmed or get stuck below the weir.

The new Salmon River Pitka Fork weir is being funded by the State of Alaska Chinook Salmon Research Initiative (CSRI), as part of a tremendous effort to help understand the causes of Chinook salmon declines in recent years (learn more about the CSRI program at adfg.alaska.gov). This weir is an important part of a larger study to estimate the total return of Chinook salmon to the Kuskokwim River in 2015 and 2016. As part of this larger study, we will be tagging Chinook salmon near the mouth of Kuskokwim River and tracking them as they swim towards the spawning grounds. The weir on the Salmon River Pitka Fork will be one of seven weirs that will be used to recapture these tagged fish – other weirs are located on the Kwethluk, Tuluksak, Aniak, Holitna, George, and Tatlawiksuk Rivers. With this information biologists hope to estimate how many total fish returned to the Kuskokwim River, when they began their upriver migration, where they spawned, and how fast they swam to get there. This new weir is not only a benefit to the residents of headwaters communities; it will hopefully benefit all residents of the Kuskokwim River who rely on Chinook salmon.

We are still developing plans for this new project. We anticipate operating the weir from June 1 through August 15. The early start date is intended to help monitor those really early Chinook salmon that headwaters residents have told us about. We are planning to hire at least two technicians to assist with the operations of the weir.

MTNT will be assisting ADF&G with hiring local staff, permitting, project logistics, and community outreach. At this time, we have funding commitments for the 2015 and 2016 field season, but we will be exploring options to continue the weir for future years.

If you have any questions about this new project or other salmon research projects being conducted throughout the Kuskokwim Area, feel free to contact Zachary Liller, Kuskokwim Area Fisheries Research Biologist with ADF&G, Division of Commercial Fisheries. He can be reached at 907-267-2380 or [email protected].

CONGRATULATIONS TO PATRICIA ALEXIA OF NIKOLAINenana Aviation Program ParticipantPatricia Alexia, granddaughter of Nick and Ann Alexia, and daughter of Tamara Robert of Nikolai, is pictured to the left as she taxis back to the hangar after doing several touch-and-go’s with instructor Mike Morgan. She was a student with the Nenana School District’s Aviation Program while training at ProFlite of Alaska in Fairbanks, October 19, 2013. Alexia was ready for her first solo flight but the cross wind on the runway was too strong.

The aviation program began its first trial year in 2013 with eight students taking the class, which superintendent Eric Gebhard calls the “pilot pilot program.” The school also received its own flight simulator from the Medallion Foundation. The time commitment for the aviation program is long, and the work is intensive, but the students in the program say it’s all worth it.Photo courtesy of the Fairbanks Daily News Miner.
