Alaskan Bush People alum Noah Brown is voicing concern for his children's welfare as his divorce from Rhain Brown continues to play out in court.
According to an article Us Weekly published Wednesday, July 22, Noah, 34, expressed worry about his sons' "emotional and physical safety" in court documents and has requested an independent evaluation, along with a court-appointed guardian ad litem, for the two boys he shares with Rhain.
In a March 11 declaration, per the outlet, Noah claimed Rhain, who is pregnant, moved in with a new partner, Adam Gimello — the father of her unborn child — alleging that Gimello is under house arrest, on probation and subject to a protective order restricting his access to firearms.
"To the best of my knowledge, Rhain's household contains several rifles and pistols that appear to be easily accessible," Noah wrote, according to the outlet. "I am concerned that the current living situation may place our children at risk."

The Supreme Court agreed Monday to hear an appeal from an Alaskan bush pilot whose plane was seized by authorities after they discovered it was bound for a remote, dry village with beer on board.
The appeal from the 82-year-old pilot, Kenneth Jouppi, could have national implications if the 6-3 conservative court limits the ability of state and local governments to rely on ******* et forfeiture. Jouppi claims that the taking of his $95,000 Cessna for what amounted to a six-pack of beer violated the 8th Amendment's bar on excessive fines.
The Supreme Court is likely to hear oral arguments in the case later this year or early next — and hand down a decision by next summer.
"The Excessive Fines Clause of the Constitution was built for cases like this," said Sam Gedge, a senior attorney at the Institute for Justice, which is representing the pilot. "As government agencies increasingly exploit fines and forfeitures to pad their budgets, it's vital that the Supreme Court make clear that the Excessive Fines Clause is a meaningful check on government overreach."
Jouppi says that the Budweiser and Bud Light found on his plane, which was packaged with other groceries, belonged to a passenger. He said that most of it was out of sight, but state police said one six-pack was in plain view inside a grocery bag. One trooper claimed that Jouppi would "have to be blind" not to have seen at least some of the alcohol and that "pilots with that bad of eyesight just don't fly."

TMZ was first to report the news.

Dogs are humanity's best friend, and this is partially because we've bred them to better suit our preferences and needs. The Alaskan Malamute and Komondor, for example, were intentionally bred to serve specific roles (pulling sleds across the Arctic and guarding sheep from predators, respectively, in these two cases). It's not just breeding that can produce new types of dogs, though. The harrowing damage to the ecosystem left in the infamous Chernobyl disaster's wake may be contributing, too.
The April 1986 calamity caused ecological damage so severe that it will continue to scar the land for
