Karl Kassel
Karl W. Kassel (born September 10, 1952) is a retired businessman and government administrator, and more recently a Democratic politician, from the U.S. state of Alaska. In 2008, following his retirement as parks and recreation director for the Fairbanks North Star Borough (FNSB), Kassel ran for the Alaska House of Representatives from the 7th District, which covers most of the FNSB north of the city of Fairbanks. As the Democratic nominee challenging embattled Republican incumbent Mike Kelly, a bitterly fought campaign led to a close result and a recount of votes. In the end, Kelly would outpoll Kassel by only 4 votes. Kelly would lose reelection in 2010 to Bob Miller, a former news anchor on Fairbanks television station KTVF. That same year, Kassel won election to a seat on the FNSB Assembly, the borough's governing body, which is a nonpartisan position (as is the case with all municipal elected offices in Alaska). He defeated incumbent Guy Sattley, who had served five mostly non-consecutive terms on the body starting in 1990.
==Biography==
Karl W. Kassel was born in 1952 in New York. After graduating from Brockport State with a degree in physical education and a minor in recreation, he moved to Alaska.〔Mowry, Tim (5/19/08). "Retired Parks and Recreation chief doesn’t plan on leaving the state". ''Fairbanks Daily News Miner''.〕
Kassel lives "off-the-grid" in a rural corner of the FNSB near the former Murphy Dome Air Force Station. His house, built in 2009 and occupied by Kassel and his family beginning early the following year, was noted for a combination of window placement, solar panels and a heat exchange system, which resulted in little usage of fossil fuel oils to heat the home.
Kassel has traded on the similarity of his name to that of the NPR broadcaster Carl Kasell. He has participated in fundraising efforts for public radio station (and NPR affiliate) KUAC where he offers to record an answering machine or voice mail greeting, similar to the prize offered on ''Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!'' where Kasell records such a greeting.
