Breaking news this morning: A judge in Dade-County Florida approved the $1B+ settlement for the Surfside Condo collapse from last year that killed 98 people in one of the deadliest building collapses in modern history.

Sorry-we can’t write that for you!
We really REALLY hate to say no to you guys, but there are a few times when we just have to, and right now we can’t write new electric-powered modes of transportation. The companies still have these on their “prohibit” class list:
- Electrically or Power Driven Bicycles or Skateboards (“hoverboards”)
- Mopeds or Scooters
- Segways
- Jetpacks
If we are able to get these moved off their list by next summer, we will let you know. We will tell them that they are on this year’s “insurance most-wanted” list. Thanks!

The Insurance Center-proud supporters of The Anchorage Glacier Pilots
TIC has been proud supporters of the Anchorage Glacier Pilots for 41 years. We love our community and cheering on college-level baseball talent! If you would like tickets to see one of the games, just email akorver@ticak.com, and we will mail you tickets. I will also have some with me at the AIIAB Golf Tournament tomorrow. Free to insurance friends and family!
Coming soon-ePay Policy is about to get even easier!
Coming in the next few weeks a Quote/SUB number will be needed to make a payment on our website. This will make it easier for you or your customer to find their account to make a payment. This will save time as they won’t have to fill in additional information-they will just type in their Quote/SUB number, select the corresponding account, and type in the amount of money they want to apply. It’s that easy! Once we go live in the next few weeks with this new upgrade we will let you know. If you have any questions, please feel free to email akorver@ticak.com
Reading Rewards are either a $10 Starbucks card or a $10 donation to the charity of your choice!
Bruce and Susan were great readers last week, sharing dad jokes and great info on zoo donations. If you see your risk below, you can choose to send a $10 to the donation of your choice or receive a gift card to Starbucks. To claim your Reading Reward, email: akorver@ticak.com

“Bar Wars” in Alaska come to an end after 10 Years: Governor signs Alcohol Rewrite Bill
Senate Bill 9, which is a delicate legal compromise between traditional bar owners and brewers/distillery owners regarding the idea of public safety and who gets to serve beverages to the public and for how many hours per day, has finally concluded and been signed into law this week. Two excellent articles that sum up the challenges of bringing these two camps together to pass this law are as follows from Alaska’s News Source:
‘Delicate compromise’: Big changes could come to Alaska bars, breweries as part of broader alcohol law rewrite and Alaska governor signs alcohol rewrite bill into law, but some changes will take awhile
This has been an extreme challenge for fairness and rights on both sides, as many business owners felt that the costs for both bar owners who had paid for their liquor licenses exceeded the rights and costs of distillery owners, who felt their ability to host events and live entertainment and to keep their establishments open for longer hours had been unfair to them. This compromise has been 10 long years in the making, and will influence liquor laws and service for the entire state.
Alaska Zoo Donations Needed Too!
The Alaska Zoo is also in need of donations! So what do they need? See below:
The Insurance Center was a proud sponsor of the Armed Services of the YMCA Combat Fishing Derby in May 2022 in Seward, Alaska-and we have the proof! It’s so great to be able to help out our local veterans and to sponsor a great weekend for our local military veterans. We are thrilled to be a small part of this worthy event.
