WWII-era planes still at work in Alaska skies

I

n present day Alaska, World War II-era relics continue to fly the skies.

Now, instead of being used by the military, private companies operate aircraft models such as the twin-engine, propeller-driven Curtiss C-46 Commando (first produced in 1940), and the larger four-engine Douglas DC-6 (first produced in 1946) in order to transport fuel and cargo to all regions of the 49th state.

Although popular with the Alaska companies Everts Air Cargo and Everts Air Fuel, similar functioning planes are rarely found elsewhere in the world.

While navigating Alaska’s rugged terrain and climate is impressive in itself, the history of these plane models, from playing integral roles in World War II and CIA missions to transporting world leaders, is equally extraordinary.

‘Flying the Hump’ Originally designed for the civilian sector, the C-46 was drafted into military service with the United States’ participation in World War II. During the war, many United States Army Air Force pilots participating in the China-Burma-India Theater, including former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, were given the task of flying supplies from India to China in order to help the Chinese stave off Japanese forces. To do this, military planes, including the C-46, had to fly over the eastern Himalayas. This became known as “Flying the Hump” due the mountainous nature of the route.

From 1942-1945, hundreds of planes and pilots were lost while fly-

ing the mountainous routes. In the early years of Hump missions, many pilots flew the Douglas C-47, but later the Curtiss C-46 was also used.

Bill McKarns, a 92-year-old World War II veteran, flew 90 round trips on the Hump route between September 1944 and May 1945. McKarns said the C-46s had benefits. It was the largest twin-engine airplane in the world at that time and the improved engines allowed the plane to fly at altitudes of 25,000 feet, whereas previous cargo planes couldn’t reach such heights.

“As it got perfected, it was a great airplane,” McKarns said. “I learned to believe in the dependability. It had better speed than the old (C-)47s.”

McKarns said his most interesting flight took place on Christmas

JUNEAU — House Speaker Mike Chenault on Friday questioned the nominating process for Fish and Game commissioner and the treatment of finalist Roland Maw by the Board of Fisheries.

The boards of fisheries and game met Wednesday to send a list of commissioner candidates to Gov. Bill Walker. The Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner reported the Board of Game voted to give Maw an interview but the

In response to the rise of property crime in Nikiski last fall, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly will vote on a resolution Tuesday to ask for a permanent Alaska State Trooper post for the area.

Assembly members Wayne Ogle and Kelly Wolf sponsored the resolution, which calls for state legislators and Gov. Bill Walker to request the Department of Public Safety Commissioner reallocate trooper personnel to serve the Nikiski community.

The nearest trooper post in Soldotna is 40 minutes away. A long response time to a community with two schools in the event of an incident is a significant concern of residents, Ogle said.

With the oil and gas activity in Cook Inlet that brings population growth and with it the social impacts, public safety has been a major problem for quite some time, he said.

“We had what the community considers an unacceptable rash of property crime that has deeply affected homeowners that are upset about it,” Ogle said. “We are asking the commissioner to reshuffle the deck and take a hard look at the allocation of troopers.”

By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — A Homer legislator has proposed delaying regulations for marijuana concentrates to allow officials to focus this year on rules for the sale and growth of legalized pot and licensing of marijuana businesses.

But Timothy Hinterberger, the chairman of the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana like Al-

cohol in Alaska, said the bill would “defy the will of the voters” and open the state to litigation, “which it would surely lose.”

Republican Rep. Paul Seaton, the incoming chair of the House Health and Social Services Committee, said Friday that he wants regulations taken up in manageable units so there can be adequate time for consideration.

The delay proposed in the C

legislation, HB 59, would apply to marijuana concentrates and the chemical extraction of the psychoactive ingredient THC, he said. It would delay regulations related to the manufacturing, delivery, possession, sale, packaging or display of marijuana concentrates, calling for those rules to be finalized by November 2016 “in response to the difficulties other jurisdictions have found in unintended consequences of regulations

permitting marijuana concentrates,” according to the text of the bill.

The bill also says in a section outlining its intent that during the delay, activities related to marijuana concentrates would remain illegal and may form the basis for revoking an establishment license or for the seizure or forfeiture of assets.

through the mountains.”

After the war ended, civilian airliners bought many of the leftover planes to accommodate the increase in demand for civilian and cargo air transportation.

According to Everts Air Cargo website, famed airlines such as TWA, Lufthansa and Pan Am have used the C-46.

While some planes were used in the private sector, others were used in air forces around the world. Before being purchased by Everts Air Cargo, the C-46 aptly named Maid in Japan was transferred from the United States Army Air Force to the Japanese Air Self Defense Force, where, according the Everts Air Cargo website, it flew for nearly 20 years. “(The C-46) is a hell of an airplane,” said Sam Copeland, a retired pilot who has flown C-46 and DC-6 planes for Everts Air Fuel.

Aside from civilian and cargo transport companies, governments and agencies around the world used the C-46 and DC-6 planes, including the CIA, which used them in the ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961.

The DC-6, on the other hand, was popular with world leaders. The former Yugoslavian president Josip Broz Tito used a DC-6B as his personal plane, according to the website of The Flying Bulls, a group of aviation enthusiasts who currently own the plane.

Day in 1944. He said that after delivering items to Kunming, China, he was sent to another destination in China instead of being ordered back to India. However, when he approached his new destination, an air raid siren was in effect and all the lights were completely blacked out, in order to not give away the camp’s position.

Low on oxygen, McKarns was forced to land in complete darkness, except for one second when the airstrip flashed its lights.

“I was familiar with the field and made a nice blackout approach,” McKarns said. “There were no lights on inside or outside the plane.”

Despite the adversity, McKarns landed safely.

“I made a nice landing between two piles of dirt,” McKarns said.

However, Japanese forces bombed the airfield’s oxygen shed, so the next morning when returning to India, he had to navigate the Hump extra carefully and at lower altitude due to the lack of oxygen supplies.

His plane could only fly 12,500 feet without him possibly losing consciousness, but some of the mountains were as high as 14,500 feet.

“I tell you, when you’re about 19 or 20 years old, you have a different view,” McKarns said.

“It was fun. We almost broke out in song. We got a better view of the Hump. The sun was out and it was pleasant. We had to do a little zig-zagging to get

Flying the Last Frontier To this day, finding an operational C-46 or DC-6 in the Lower 48 is nearly impossible.

“Alaska, to my knowledge is the only place (in the USA) that uses these (planes),” Copeland said.

After transitioning to the civilian airline industry, the C-46 and DC-6 became popular in Alaska.

Companies such as Alaska Airlines, Wien Air Alaska and Reeve Aleutian Airways have used either the C-46 or DC-6.

According to its website, Everts Air Cargo began accumulating these planes in the

“It’s just great to see them close by on the apron,” Callaert wrote. “And that is not possible in other countries. Also the sound is great of these birds.”

“These (aviation enthusiasts) — they hear about this stuff and they read about it,” Copeland said. “Here is an opportunity to see one that’s still working.”

People coming to Alaska from all over the world just to see the planes isn’t their only international exposure.

The British aviation magazine “Propliner” has featured several of the C-46 planes, including Hot Stuff and Maid in Japan, in various issues.

What flies ahead

Bill McKarns, pictured above right, shared this photo of a C-46 he piloted on the “Hump Route” While it’s unusual that World between India and China from September 1944-May 1945.

War II-era propliners continue

1970s.

Paul Abad, sales manager for Everts Air Cargo, said they are popular in Alaska because many of the remote locations around the state don’t have runways capable of accommodating other types of planes.

“Those aircraft are most conducive to harsh landing conditions,” Abad said.

Abad said that he estimates that 80-90 percent of airports in the state still have unpaved gravel runways. He said that as long as the runway is at least 3,500 feet long, the DC-6 and C-46 can probably land on it.

“They’re rugged aircraft,” Abad said.

Copeland said that the old planes are safe and capable of doing what other planes can’t.

“There’s nothing out there anywhere near the initial acquisition cost that will do the job,” Copeland said. “Go in and out of (remote places) hauling the same kind of payload that the ’46 would haul and deal with the stuff that the ’46 deals with and do it safely.”

Copeland said a modern plane capable of doing what the C-46 does would cost around $35 million.

Because the planes are rare, finding pilots with experience operating them isn’t easy.

“The typical aviator doesn’t exist anymore,” Copeland said.

“They’re going away. There are a few out there that have aviation at heart, and those guys can be trained.”

Copeland said that because modern planes are piloted with help from up-to-date electronics, pilots today are more computer engineers than aviators.

He said the C-46 and DC-6 are different.

“These airplanes — you have to fly them,” Copeland said. “There is no automatic system.”

Les Bradley, a retired pilot, said many young pilots are eager to fly these planes, but aren’t aware of how different they are from modern aircraft.

“You’re 16 years old and you’re driving a car,” Bradley said. “You think you’re king of the world because you’re 16 and have a driver’s license, but tomorrow we’re going to put you in the Indianapolis 500. How’s that going to work?

You’d probably be ‘Oh, great,’ but you’re going to kill yourself or someone else. It’s the same way (with these planes).”

Abad said that pilots new to these aircraft take some time to adjust to them.

“They definitely have to get used to it,” Abad said. “It’s like driving a Ferrari and going back and driving a Model-T. They can still drive it but they have to get used to it.”

Despite the lack of modern technology inside the aircraft, Everts Air Cargo values its planes. “(These planes) are the backbone of our operation and our competitive advantage,” Abad said.

and Everts Air Fuel use several C-46s and at least eight DC-6s.

While the specific history of each plane Everts Air Cargo and Everts Air Fuel plane is unknown, many are given colorful names, including Hot Stuff, Maid of Money, Maid in Japan, Salmon Ella and Dumbo. Copeland said the names of the planes have a specific meaning. Salmon Ella, for example, got the name because it had previously transported fish in Alaska.

Popular all over the globe Due to the scarcity of the DC-6 and C-46, aviation enthusiasts from all corners of the globe make treks to Alaska, particularly Anchorage, Fairbanks and Kenai, with the sole purpose of seeing and taking pictures of these flying pieces of history.

“Almost every year, especially in the summer time, tourists from all over the world come to take pictures with those aircraft,” Abad said. “We can accommodate tour groups in our facility. We just need a prior arrangement.”

Abad said that fans of propliners and other aviation

aficionados hear about Everts planes on the internet.

“It’s a small community all over the world,” Abad said.

“The internet made it smaller.

They can go online and find pictures and photographers.”

Rainer Bexten, an aviation enthusiast from Germany, has been to Alaska twice — once in 2009 and again in 2014. He has seen and photographed Everts Air Fuel and Everts Air Cargo propliners.

Bexten wrote in an email that when he saw the C-46 last summer at the Kenai Municipal Airport, he was very happy to see a plane of that model still in service and flying. Bexten wrote that seeing the operational planes was seeing history.

“Compared to the types nowadays, they are simple, strong, tough and maybe easier to work on,” Bexten wrote. “Especially the radial engines are great, nice to see when they are starting with all that smoke and the distinctive sound, it gives me the heebie-jeebies.”

Wim Callaert of Belgium has been plane spotting for about 25 years.

Callaert wrote in an email that he came to Alaska because it’s one of the few places where

to fly in Alaska, let alone anywhere, Everts Air Cargo and Everts Air Fuel don’t plan on retiring the planes any time soon.

Because many spare parts specific to the C-46 and DC-6 aren’t produced anymore, Paul Abad said that Everts Air Cargo has a team of people who travel all over the world in search of old parts. The old planes that possess useful parts are called donors.

“We’ve been lucky enough to find parts in Canada and the Lower 48,” Abad said.

Copeland said that many of the world’s old C-46 parts are now in Alaska.

“I think Everts probably has most of all of them,” Copeland said.

When searches for needed parts prove unsuccessful, Abad said that Everts Air Cargo can manufacture whatever can’t be found.

As for what happens when these planes finally stop flying?

“We don’t think of that,” Abad said. “A lot of people said that 2000 was the death date.

When that date passed they said 2005, and then it was 2010.

Guess what? We’re still here.”

He was raised Roman Catholic, but was not currently attending a church. Bud was an avid reader and loved his vegetable garden. He is still chasing that elusive “BIG” rainbow trout.

His family wrote, “We love him and will miss him very much.” “Thank you Uncle Bud for having my back all these years – Fred.” “Farwell our father, from Little Girl, Boy and Baby Girl.”

He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, two sisters and his wife, Cenie.

Vitriol does little to advance dialogue What’s the point of lecturing children

on cyber-bulling if parents cannot be bothered to extend the same courtesy to each other?

During a recent debate over a faculty-led assembly at Nikiski Middle-High School, the nasty tone of the digital debate took over what could have been a reasonable discussion over what is appropriate for the school’s sixth- through 12th-grade students to see from their role models.

The parents who complained were called “crazed,” “uptight,” “overly-sensitive,” and told to pull their children out of the school as they were lacking a sense of humor.

The complaints and fallout stemmed from the Jan. 5 revelation that the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District suspended two administrators and two teachers, with pay, as the school district investigated allegations of inappropriate behavior. The teachers have since been reinstated and the school district is refusing to release the results of the investigation — so it’s difficult to know whether any corrective action will be taking place, or if staff received sensitivity training, rebukes, congratulations on a job well done or any feedback at all for the assembly.

When the story came out, many seemed to think that in order to defend the schools and its teachers, they needed to go into attack mode — ignoring the fact that any parent whose child expresses discomfort about something they learned or saw at school, from an administrator no less, has the right to investigate.

Some seemed to believe that bashing those with dissenting opinions was the only way to validate their own.

It’s alright to disagree with the thoughts or opinions expressed by others. But that doesn’t give you the right to villify someone just because you dislike what they’re saying.

We lost the opportunity to have a community-wide discussion about an excellent school that has had a somewhat difficult year. The backbiting and infighting on line, we’re sure, were just the tip of the iceberg when it came to the vitriol that was expressed on both sides, in person.

Unfortunately, some parents said their children had been treated badly at the school after being linked to people who complained about the assembly — proving once again that children will imitate their parents and in this situation a lot of parents ignored decorum and attacked their neighbors.

Adults should model the same behavior that we’d like to see in our children.

The next time you come across a link or article you disagree with, take a deep breath and count to ten before you respond. Attempt to persuade your friends, neighbors, and Facebook followers, with logic and avoid inflaming mob-justice situations and fighting on the internet — you can’t reason someone out of an opinion that they didn’t reason themselves into.

Celebrating some great innovations Alaskans like to work hard and play hard — and sometimes there is a market waiting to be tapped where the two overlap. Case in point, Alaska’s thriving small brewing scene: a great example of Alaskan small business success.

One of the little known facts about our state’s economic picture is that we currently have 22 licensed breweries making high-quality craft beer, from Sitka to Silver Gulch, and I understand there are another 8 in the works to be built and developed — even in Hoonah! In the middle of a sluggish economic recovery, breweries are a growth industry for Alaska, capped off by the Great Alaska Beer and Barley Wine Festival In some ways, this weekend’s event is like the Olympics of Beer — the best from all corners of the country come to compete, and our Alaska beers show that they are more than up to the competition. I hope to be able to personally have the honor of handing out some medals to Alaska brewers this weekend.

Empowering Alaska’s beer success stories — and similar small business enterprises in the Lower 48 — is why I serve as Co-Chair of the Senate Brewers Caucus.

My colleagues and I on the caucus believe that we should eliminate needless regulatory impediments that prohibit small business owners from producing a great product creating jobs and instilling a sense of local pride in our communities. I have visited breweries across the state, asking them about the challenges they face, and about what impacts them and their operations?

So far, I have visited and learned from the people at HooDoo in Fairbanks, Kodiak Island Brewing Company, Haines Brewing Company, Alaskan Brewing Company, Baranof Brewing Company in Sitka, and Talkeetna’s Denali Brewing Company, along with a few others. I obviously have more visits to make with great breweries all over Alaska — and I’m looking forward to meeting them.

On Capitol Hill, we like to point out that states are the laboratories of Democracy, where new idea and laws are tested — with the best ones rising to the top. In Alaska, our breweries are the laboratories of innovation and community identity, where creativity and commerce are coming together to create some of the best ales and lagers you can drink in the world.

ational use of pot by those 21 and older. While the initiative takes effect Feb. 24, the state has until this November to write regulations.

Alaska is one of four states where voters have approved legalizing recreational marijuana.

Hinterberger said in a statement that the Legislature has important roles to play in creating effective marijuana policy “but delaying implementation of the initiative is not one of them, nor is changing the definition of marijuana that the voters approved in November,” he said.

“The state should move forward with implementing what Alaska voters approved, not try to roll it back,” he said. Marijuana concentrate is included in the initiative’s definition of marijuana.

Similar concerns were raised by the Coalition for Responsible Cannabis Legislation.

Seaton said he spoke with pot-initiative supporters at a recent forum who did not oppose splitting marijuana concentrates for separate consideration of regulations.

The bill was part of a second group of bills filed ahead of the start of the legislative session and released on Friday. The scheduled 90-day session begins Tuesday.

Other bills include: —HB 57, from Rep. Bob Lynn, R-Anchorage, calling for voters to provide photo identification or two forms of ID that do not have photos, such as a certified copy of a birth certificate. Lynn was a sponsor of a similar bill in 2013 that failed to gain traction.

—HB 60, from House Democratic Leader Chris Tuck of Anchorage, related to the reporting and handling of sexual assault cases in the Alaska National Guard.

—SB 12, from Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, calling for minimum paid sick leave for employees of certain businesses with at least 15 workers. Currently, lower-wage workers often do not get paid sick time, he said.

—SB 17, also from Wielechowski, would require signed, written responses and rationales for denials of requests for public records. He said this is a response to requests that he and others made under the prior administration that he said were not responded to by the state.

Squatter gets 1 year for firearm violations

ANCHORAGE (AP) — A squatter described by prosecutors as a “parasitic presence” in his Kenai Peninsula community will serve a year in a federal prison for being in the illegal possession of firearms.

Federal Judge Timothy Burgess on Friday sentenced John J. Soper, 57, of Cooper Landing in U.S. District Court in Anchorage.

Alaska State Troopers and U.S. Forest Service rangers were investigating a rash of burglaries in the Cooper Landing area when they were given Soper’s name.

Authorities found him living in a cabin that he had illegally built on forest service land near Cooper Landing, located about 50 miles south of Anchorage.

They encountered Soper,

who had four firearms, including a rifle, a shotgun and two handguns, and an outstanding warrant for a parole violation, assistant U.S. attorney Aunnie Steward said in her sentencing memo. He’s prevented from having firearms after a 2010 felony burglary conviction for breaking into vehicles at trailheads in Cooper Landing and stealing valuables.

Soper also had been suspected of stealing food from a nearby lodge.

“The defendant kept a journal and indicated that he had ‘gone grocery shopping’ at the lodge,” Steward wrote.

Authorities also said he had a generator at the cabin that had previously been reported stolen, and he was found with a stolen credit card.

During a town hall meeting in Kenai last October, Capt. Andy Greenstreet, Trooper E-Detachment commander, said they use space in the Nikiski Fire Department for one trooper to be stationed to improve response time to the area. Greenstreet said with limited personnel he couldn’t guarantee someone would be stationed there at all times with calls coming in from all over the central peninsula.

stands the large coverage area the troopers are responsible for and limited resources to canvass the entire borough, he would like to see if personnel posted in a less populated areas like Girdwood, Crown Point or Cooper Landing, could be used in Nikiski.

At the October meeting, Greenstreet said between the five trooper posts in his detachment, four troopers are stationed in Girdwood, three are stationed at Crown Point, two in Cooper Landing and one in Anchor Point.

Nikiski’s population is more than 4,600 people compared to

more than 1,800 in Girdwood, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. In the winter Cooper Landing’s population is less than 300 people.

Wolf said the resolution doesn’t ask for more funding or to hire additional troopers.

“Why not protect Nikiski and all the benefit it brings to the entire borough?” he said.

“We have three at Crown Point, we can’t get one in Nikiski?”

Nikiski resident Ann Krogsong said she appreciates the assembly listening to the concerns of the community. Krogsong, who organized town hall meetings and watch groups to

take action in their neighborhoods, said hundreds of residents signed an open letter to the Department of Public Safety Commissioner Gary Folger that requested a trooper station in Nikiski. She said the reply wasn’t helpful.

“I’m pleased to see our assemblymen listening with a resolution to submit a more formal request,” she said. “I believe there is enough need warranted to be proactive with the potential growth here.”

cerns with Walker’s recent shakeup of the Alaska Gasline Development Corp. board, suggested that Walker consider replacing the Board of Fisheries with members who would support an open process. Chenault said Maw, who is executive director of the United Cook Inlet Drift Association, is well qualified.

“An explanation of the Board’s actions would be appreciated,” Chenault wrote.

Walker, in a statement, said he shares Chenault’s disappointment that Maw did not get

an interview. He said he contacted Maw as soon as he was notified that the boards had sent him only one name.

Walker said he did not have any communication with the boards before or after the decision “but will emphasize that in the future they hold a public and open process.”

He also said he holds Cotten in high regard and that Cotten would make an excellent commissioner.

By law, the governor is to appoint a commissioner from a list of nominees advanced

by the boards of fisheries and game. However, the governor has the right to request additional nominations.

Walker spokeswoman Grace Jang said Walker plans to talk to the boards before deciding whether to request additional names.

The appointment will be subject to legislative confirmation.

An email seeking comment was sent to the executive director of the Board of Fisheries.

Obama to call for tax changes in State of the Union

By JULIE PACE AP White House Correspondent

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will call for increasing taxes on the wealthiest Americans by raising the capital gains rate and eliminating a tax break on inheritances, then using the revenue to fund new tax credits and other cost-saving measures for the middle class.

The president’s proposals are likely to be cheered by the Democratic Party’s liberal base, but the tax increases are all but certain to be non-starters with the new Republican majority on Capitol Hill.

Obama will announce the tax proposals Tuesday night in his State of the Union address.

Senior administration officials disclosed details Saturday on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the proposals by name ahead of the president.

The president’s address — his first to a Republican-led Congress — will also include calls for lawmakers to make community college free for many students, increase paid leave for workers and enact broad cybersecurity rules.

The centerpiece of the president’s tax proposal is an increase in the capital gains rate on couples making more than $500,000 per year to 28 percent, the same

level as under President Ronald Reagan. The top capital gains rate has already been raised from 15 percent to 23.8 percent during Obama’s presidency.

Obama also wants to close what the administration is calling the “Trust Fund Loophole,” a change that would require estates to pay capital gains taxes on securities at the time they’re inherited. Officials said the overwhelming impact of the change would be on the top 1 percent of income earners.

While GOP leaders have said they share Obama’s desire to reform the nation’s complicated tax code, the party has long been opposed to many of the proposals the president will outline Tuesday. For example, most Republicans want to lower or eliminate the capital gains tax and similarly want to end taxes on estates, not expand them.

Administration officials pointed to a third proposal from the president as one they hope Republicans would support: a fee on the roughly 100 U.S. financial firms with assets of more than $50 billion. Officials said the fee is similar to a proposal from former Republican Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan, who led the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee. Camp’s plan, however, was part of a larger proposal to lower the overall corporate income tax rate.

In this Jan. 28, 2014 file photo, Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio listen as President Barack Obama gives his State of the Union address on Capitol Hill in Washington.

Raising the capital gains rate, ending the inheritance loophole and tacking a fee on financial firms would generate $320 billion in revenue over a decade, according to administration estimates. Obama wants to put the bulk of that money into a series of measures aimed at helping middle-class Americans. Among them: —A credit of up to $500 for

families in which both spouses work. The administration says 24 million couples would benefit from the proposal, which would apply to families with annual income up to $210,000.

—Expanding the child care tax credit to up to $3,000 per child under age 5. The administration says the proposal would help more than 5 million families with the cost of child care.

—Overhauling the education tax system by consolidating six provisions into two, a move that could cut taxes for 8.5 million families. Republicans have been open to the idea of consolidating education tax breaks.

Obama’s call for higher taxes on the wealthy could further antagonize Republicans who are already angry with the

president over his vows to veto several of the party’s priorities, including legislation to approve construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, make changes to the president’s signature health care legislation and block his executive actions on immigration.

Republicans say Obama’s veto threats are a sign of a president who didn’t get the message from voters who relegated his party to minority status in the November election. New Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the president still has a chance to change his tone.

“Tuesday can be a new day,” McConnell said. “This can be the moment the president pivots to a positive posture. This can be a day when he promotes serious realistic reforms that focus on economic growth and don’t just spend more money we don’t have. We’re eager for him to do so.”

Beyond rolling out new proposals, Obama’s address is also expected to focus on making the case to the public that recent economic gains represent a real and lasting recovery. The approach reflects the White House’s belief that it has been too cautious in promoting economic gains out of fear of looking tone deaf to the continued struggles of many Americans.

Romney, Clinton offer signs ‘16 will be about economy

By DAVID SCOTT and STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press

CORONADO, Calif. — Not yet in the presidential race, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Mitt Romney already are previewing the likely focus of the 2016 campaign, a competition over who’s better able to boost paychecks for working Americans.

And that ostensibly populist message about wages and jobs for the middle-class? It’s what their potential rivals for the Democratic and Republican nominations — Jeb Bush and Elizabeth Warren, among them — are talking about, too.

It started Friday afternoon, when Clinton, who has been mostly quiet over the past few weeks as a GOP field of more than two dozen potential candidates jockeyed for attention, sent her first tweet in more than a month: “Attacking financial reform is risky and wrong.

Better for Congress to focus on jobs and wages for middleclass families.”

Late Friday night, it was Romney’s turn. The wealthy former private equity chief sounded almost nothing like the Romney of 2012, when he told voters “corporations are people, my friend,” and said to a group of rich donors that when it comes to the 47 percent of Americans who don’t pay income taxes, “my job is not to worry about those people.”

Said Romney on Friday, “Under President Obama, the rich have gotten richer, income inequality has gotten worse and there are more people in poverty than ever before.”

While it’s a clear shift for Romney to offer such a message, which sounds like something a Democrat like Clinton might levy as an attack against a Republican nominee, Bush is kicking off his prospective bid with a similar approach. The

former Florida governor puts “rising wages” front and center on the website of the political committee that’s essentially his campaign-in-waiting.

“Too many of the poor have lost hope that a path to a better life is within their grasp,” Bush’s site says. “While the last eight years have been pretty good ones for top earners, they’ve been a lost decade for the rest owf America.”

As for Warren, who continues to the dismay of some liberals to insist she will not enter the 2016 race, her populist message about wages and income inequality may be pushing Clinton from afar. See Clinton’s tweet, which opened with a defense of Warren’s assault on Wall Street’s large investment banks, which has been at the core of her work in the Senate.

To be sure, presidential campaigns often become a proxy fight over the health of the nation’s economy. It was the staff

of Clinton’s husband who, during his first campaign for president against Bush’s father, George H.W. Bush, summed up their strategy in three words: “The economy, stupid.”

That’s why others who are talking about running for president are not straying far from an economic message at this stage of the campaign. Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s speech Friday to the Republican National Committee was all about his state’s record of job creation during his

time in office. If you’ve heard Perry talking about the “Texas Miracle” before, it’s because he rarely misses an opportunity to do so.

“I got 14 years of preparation as governor running the most successful state in the nation,” Perry said.

In their state of the state speeches this week, both Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie touted drops in their state’s unemployment rate under their watch.

“Voters, particularly in presidential contests, want their candidates to be able to answer in the affirmative the question, ‘Does this person understand the problems of people like me?’’” said former Romney adviser Kevin Madden. “This is a departure from the last campaign, where the focus was on drawing contrasts with the president and reminding voters what they didn’t like or shouldn’t like about Obama’s economic record.”

School testing: When is enough?

By KIMBERLY HEFLING AP Education Writer

WASHINGTON — Do students take too many tests?

Given the complaints about a high-stakes testing culture in classrooms, some states are reviewing the quality and quantity of the tests their students take. Congress is getting into the act, too.

On Wednesday, the Senate’s education committee is set to take up the issue of whether federally mandated annual testing should remain a requirement under the No Child Left Behind law. Lawmakers are considering the reauthorization of the bipartisan education measure that President George W. Bush signed into law in 2002.

“Of course we should be asking the question: Are there too many tests?” says the committee chairman, Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee.

Five things to know about testing in U.S. schools: — Testing is federally mandated The Bush-era law requires that states test students in grades three to eight in reading and math, and once again in these subjects in high school.

The tests are used to measure student progress. Schools that don’t show improvement face consequences. President Barack Obama has allowed states to avoid some requirements by requesting waivers, but he has kept annual testing in place.

Bob Schaeffer, public education director for FairTest: National Center for Fair & Open Testing, said the federal requirement opened the door for more testing, with some districts conducting interim tests to make sure their students are on track for the federally mandated assessments.

an average of 10 tests in grades three to eight. The group said these students spend on average 1.6 percent of instructional time or less taking tests.

Preliminary research by the Council of the Great City Schools, which represents large urban districts, found that students take an average of 113 standardized tests between preK and 12th grade. It said testing time for 11th graders was as high as 27 days, or 15 percent of the school year, in one district and that didn’t count Advanced Placement, career and technical education course and college entrance exams.

Other tests measure things such as English language proficiency, eligibility for gifted and talented programs, whether students have met high school graduation requirements or are ready for kindergarten.

It’s not just the actual testtaking that’s frustrating some parents and educators. It’s also the hours students spend preparing — and worrying.

“In some grades, it’s astonishing when you lay it all on top of each other,” said Chancellor Kaya Henderson of the District of Columbia Public Schools.

Henderson has appointed a committee to review testing in her district, a move also taking place in several states.

John White, the Louisiana state superintendent, told reporters that business forces are at play, with the testing industry selling districts tests that aren’t necessarily needed.

— Testing is a political issue Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, the education committee’s top Democrat, agree there’s too much testing.

But they also are among the backers of the annual federal

testing requirement, saying an annual measurement is critical to ensure that low-income or minority students and those with disabilities aren’t lost in the system.

“To put our heads in the sand and just hope, that’s not fair to the kids. It’s simply not fair,” Duncan said.

Margaret Spellings, education secretary under Bush, said the annual testing mandate is the “holy grail” of education reform. This federal role in education is backed by civil rights and business groups.”

“If the testing is sound and accurate and valid and reliable and aligned, all those wonky words, then teaching to the test is not necessarily a bad thing,” Spellings said.

Alexander says he’s open to listening to all sides. But Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., an education committee member, says districts should determine how students are tested. He wants to repeal the law and says many students have been “failed by the current system.”

The National Education Association, a teachers union, backs a federal mandate that would require the testing just once in elementary, middle and high school.

— New common corebased assessements are coming This spring, millions of students in about 30 states are expected to take new Common Core-based assessments that are replacing other state ones. The standards, the result of a states-led effort backed by governors, spell out what skills students should master in each grade and are designed to develop critical thinking skills.

The tests were developed by two different groups of states that pooled resources and ex-

pertise. A $360 million federal grant helped fund the work.

The tests are computer based and designed to the Common Core standards. Just as the standards have been controversial, so have the assessments — and some states have opted out of them.

Educators expect student test scores to drop and cause angst.

But proponents say they are a better measure of what students actually know and are better aligned to what they learn in class.

About 5.2 million students participated in field tests of the new assessments, with few technology-related snags. But it’s expected that some schools will not have the Internet capability to administer the tests by computer and will need to do so using old-fashioned paper and pencil, according to the Government Accountability Office.

— Teacher evaluations figure in the debate The Obama administration views teacher evaluations with teeth as in important way to improve schools. It has given incentives to states to develop such evaluation systems, including making them a requirement to get a waiver to No Child Left Behind.

In 2009, 35 states and the District of Columbia did not require teacher evaluations to include measures of student learning, according to the National Council on Teacher Quality. But by last year, that dropped to nine states.

That’s put added pressure on teachers — and at the same time classroom expectations are changing because of Common Core.

Last fall, Duncan said states can apply for extra time before they use student test scores to judge educators’ performance.

— Number of tests is hard to know Many states and districts require additional testing beyond the federally mandated exams.

A Center for American Progress snapshot of 14 districts in seven states found that students take as many as 20 standardized assessments annually and

Around the Nation Cosby takes stage despite protest over sex-assault claims DENVER — About 100 protesters chanting “Rape is not a joke!” and “No means no!” protested outside a theater in Denver before comedian Bill Cosby took the stage on Saturday.

Shortly before his performance at the Buell Theatre, one woman held a news conference at a hotel in the city to accuse him of sexually assaulting her in 1986.

Beth Ferrier said during the gathering called by Los Angeles attorney Gloria Allred that Cosby put drugs in her coffee when she went to see one of his shows in Denver. She said the next thing she remembered was waking up hours later in the back of her car “practically naked.”

Ferrier has said previously she was assaulted by Cosby.

Ferrier went public on June 23, 2005, alleging that as a model in New York in 1984, she met Cosby and they had a brief affair.

The 77-year-old comedian is facing sexual assault accusations from at least 15 women, with some of the claims dating back decades. He has denied the allegations through his attorney and has never been charged with a crime.

Police: 2 dead, 1 wounded in central Florida mall shooting MELBOURNE, Fla. — A Florida man had “several pockets full of ammunition” when he targeted his wife in a shooting Saturday morning that killed two people at a mall food court, police said.

Jose Garcia Rodriguez, 57, of Palm Bay, died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound at Melbourne Square Mall, said Cmdr. Vince Pryce of Melbourne Police.

His 33-year-old wife, Ida, was hospitalized with a gunshot wound in good condition, Pryce said.

“The survivor is the intended victim,” he said.

Phoenix woman dies after giving birth to quadruplets PHOENIX — A woman died hours after giving birth to quadruplets at a Phoenix hospital, a close friend of the family said Saturday.

Erica Morales, 36, never got to hold her newborns before she passed away early Friday morning after a C-section surgery at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center, Nicole Todman said.

Morales was about seven months into her pregnancy when she delivered three girls and one boy Thursday, according to Todman. She has been one of the few able to visit the premature newborns and said they are doing well.

Charlie Hebdo continues to roil Muslim world

By ASHRAF KHALIL Associated Press

CAIRO — The famed French weekly Charlie Hebdo has continued to draw a somewhat contradictory reaction across the Muslim world.

Many Muslims have expressed disgust at the deadly assault on the magazine’s Paris office by Islamic extremists who killed 12 people. However many also remain deeply offended by the magazine’s record of publishing cartoons lampooning the Prophet Muhammad. Those passions were further inflamed this week when the magazine’s first issue following the attack carried a cover cartoon depicting Muhammad holding a “Je Suis Charlie” sign.

According to mainstream Islamic tradition, any physical depiction of the Prophet Muhammad — even a respectful one — is considered blasphemous.

In the West African nation of Niger, President Mahamadou Issoufou said at least 10 people have been killed after violent protests broke out against the latest cartoon depicting Muhammad in the French publication.

Issoufou said that five deaths

were reported after demonstrations in the capital of Niamey on Saturday. The victims were inside churches and bars that were set ablaze, he said. On Friday, at least five people were killed in the town of Zinder after prayer services there.

Iranian judicial authorities on Saturday banned a daily newspaper for publishing a front-page headline that allegedly indicated support for Charlie Hebdo. Mohammad Ghoochani, chief editor of the daily Mardom-e-Emrooz, or Today’s People, told the semiofficial Tasnim news agency that his paper had been ordered closed. The paper’s Tuesday edition featured a front-page article with a headline that quoted filmmaker and activist George Clooney as saying “I am Charlie Hebdo.” However the accompanying article did not actually express support for Clooney’s statement, nor for the magazine itself.

The Iranian government has publicly condemned both the attack on Charlie Hebdo and the magazine itself, calling the continued publishing of Muhammad caricatures “provocative” and an insult to Islam.

world on Saturday, Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani condemned Charlie Hebdo, calling the newest cover image of Prophet Muhammad a blasphemous and irresponsible act.

“Freedom of expression should be used in a way to boost understanding between

the religions,” he said in a statement issued by the presidential palace. “Afghanistan has suffered many years of war and violence, more than any other country, and it is necessary to understand and promote peaceful coexistence among all the people of the world.”

Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi also issued a statement of condemnation, warning that, “offensive words might lead to further bloodshed.”

Al-Abadi called on all parties to “desist such practices that create an atmosphere of division and rejection.” He also reiterated

his condemnation of the attacks on innocent victims in Paris, saying that terrorism, “has nothing to do with Islam in any way.”

Protesters also demonstrated in front of the French Embassy in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, as well as in the Pakistani city of Karachi. In Egypt, the Islamist Noor Party denounced the latest Charlie Hebdo cover on its French-language Facebook page. “Just as the Noor Party rejects the assault on civilians and the negative effects it has for all Muslims of Europe, it also rejects this barbaric, irresponsible act under the name of freedom of expression,” the statement declared.

In Gaza City, the capital of the Gaza Strip, unknown vandals scrawled graffiti on the walls of the French Cultural Center. In addition to statements praising the Prophet Muhammad and declaring him off-limits for ridicule or satire, the vandals also wrote: “To hell, to a miserable destiny, French journalists.”

Belgium: No sign Greek arrests are linked with Belgian probe

By DEMETRIS NELLAS and RAF CASERT Associated Press

ATHENS, Greece — Belgian authorities said Saturday that information sent to them from Athens so far has not indicated the people detained by police in Greece were involved in a Belgian jihadi cell.

A Greek police official earlier said four terrorism suspects had been arrested separately in Athens and included a man who matched the description of

the suspect Belgian authorities believe was behind a jihadi cell that was dismantled in Belgium on Thursday.

But after initial vetting in Brussels, federal magistrate Eric van der Sypt said the information they received showed there was no link.

The Greek official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the ongoing probe, said the “investigation is ongoing. We are in touch with the Belgians.”

The arrests came amid

stepped-up police efforts across Europe to prevent terrorism, a groundswell of popular antagonism against radical Islam, and protests against caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad across the Muslim world that have underscored vast cultural differences.

Belgium has raised its terror warning to 3, the secondhighest, following anti-terror raids there on Thursday which left two suspects dead and a third wounded amid fears they had been planning imminent

attacks on police and their offices.

The country deployed 150 paratroopers Saturday to guard possible terrorism targets, including some buildings in Antwerp’s Jewish quarter. It was the first time in 30 years that authorities used troops to reinforce police, and they said the number of troops could double until a review of situation next week.

Meanwhile in France, authorities sought to head off possible civil unrest and glo-

rification of terrorism after the country’s worst attacks in decades — assenting to quietly bury the two brothers involved in the attack against the Charlie Hebdo newspaper and banning an anti-Islamist demonstration in Paris.

“We are one country, one people, one France — without distinction by religion, belief or sensibility,” President Francois Hollande said in a speech Saturday in south-central France.

“An ardent France against those who want to instill among us

who-knows-what war of religion.”

Authorities have said there is no apparent link between the foiled plots in Belgium and last week’s terror attacks against the newspaper and a kosher grocery in Paris, in which brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi and their friend Amedy Coulibaly killed 17 people.

Pope comforts typhoon victims

Around the World Peace initiative for Syria falters as opposition shuns proposed talks BEIRUT — A Russian initiative to host peace talks this month between the Syrian government and its opponents appears to be unraveling as prominent Syrian opposition figures shun the prospective negotiations amid deep distrust of Moscow and concerns the talks hold no chance of success.

The faltering effort suggests that even after four years and at least 220,000 people killed, the antagonists in Syria’s civil war are far from burning themselves out and will likely keep fighting for a more decisive battlefield advantage before any real talks can take place.

The planned meetings in Moscow, scheduled to start Jan. 26, would be the first on Syria since a U.N.-sponsored conference in Geneva collapsed early last year after making no headway.

But the Syrian tableau has changed dramatically since then.

President Bashar Assad faces growing resentment among his supporters in the wake of bloody defeats, while his main patrons, Russia and Iran, are feeling the pinch from the global plunge in oil prices. Syria’s mainstream opposition — political and armed — teeters on the brink of irrelevance, and the extremist Islamic State group has seized control of large chunk of northeastern Syria and neighboring Iraq.

Smoky freight closes Channel Tunnel LONDON — A smoky load being transported through the Channel Tunnel triggered an alarm Saturday, suspending all passenger and freight rail services between Britain and France, Eurotunnel said. No injuries were reported.

John Keefe, the spokesman for tunnel operator Eurotunnel, said C02 alarms detected the smoke in the tunnel, touching off the shutdown at around midday. He didn’t elaborate on what had caused the smoke inside the truck but said earlier reports of a fire were not correct.

Railway operator Eurostar suspended all services for Saturday, causing disruptions for thousands of passengers.

Afghan officials say 5 arrested for Pakistan school massacre KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan security services have arrested five men in connection with the massacre at a Pakistan military school last month that killed 150 people, most of them children, officials said Saturday.

The men, all non-Afghans, helped support the Dec. 16 assault by the Taliban at the Army Public School and College in the city of Peshawar, three Afghan officials told The Associated Press. They said the men were arrested in recent weeks near Afghanistan’s eastern border with Pakistan.

TACLOBAN, Philippines — Pope Francis braved an approaching tropical storm Saturday to travel to the far eastern Philippines to comfort survivors of the deadly Typhoon Haiyan. He was so emotionally undone by their loss that he barely found the words to offer solace, and then had to cut the trip short because of the dangerous weather.

Before he left the typhoonwracked city of Tacloban, though, a soaking wet Francis brought many in the crowd to tears as he ached at their suffering and recounted how in the days after the Nov. 3, 2013, storm he decided that he simply had to come in person to offer his comfort.

“I wanted to come to be with you,” he told a rain-soaked crowd during Mass on a muddy airport field. “It’s a bit late, I have to say, but I am here.”

Haiyan slammed the areas around Tacloban with a storm surge two stories high and some of the strongest winds ever measured in a tropical cyclone: 235 kilometers (147 miles) per hour, as clocked by U.S. satellites. It leveled entire villages, left more than 7,300 people dead or missing, and displaced more than 4 million people in one of the country’s poorest regions.

“Pope Francis cannot give us houses and jobs, but he can send our prayers to God,” said Tacloban resident Ernesto Hengzon, 62. “I’m praying for good health and for my children, too. I am old and sickly.

I’m praying that God will stop these big storms. We cannot

take any more of it. We have barely recovered. Many people are still down there.”

Francis joined Haiyan’s victims in solidarity, donning the same cheap, plastic yellow rain poncho over his vestments that Mass-goers were given to guard them against the latest storm to batter their island.

It didn’t offer much protection. Francis insisted on traveling around Tacloban in his exposed, open-sided popemobile, and he and his aides were so drenched by the time they boarded the earlier-thanexpected flight back to Manila that trip organizers begged the flight crew to cut the air conditioning lest they catch cold.

The pope cut his visit to Tacloban short because of Tropical Storm Mekkhala, which made landfall on nearby Samar Island two hours after he left with winds of 100-130 kilometers (60-80 miles) per hour, the weather bureau said. The same weather

system threatened to drown out Francis’ closing Mass on Sunday in Manila that had been expected to draw record crowds.

Wind gusts in Tacloban were so strong that they knocked one of the large loudspeakers mounted for the Mass off its platform, hitting and killing a church volunteer, local media reports said. Police confirmed the 27-year-old woman’s death, but didn’t say how the loudspeaker fell.

Francis was informed of the death and asked his aides to investigate how he might share in the family’s grief, said the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi.

While Francis’ jam-packed, eight-hour Tacloban itinerary was cut in half, he refused to cut anything out. So after an abbreviated, emotional Mass he went to have a 15-minute lunch with

30 survivors of the typhoon and hear firsthand of their losses.

“I’ll never forget the face of the Holy Father listening to each one,” Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle told reporters afterward, breaking down in tears himself. Learning of lost parents, husbands, sons and daughters, Francis was almost paralyzed by their suffering, he said.

“You could see the Holy Father just shaking his head, shaking his head and at some moments saying, ‘Oh, oh!’ He was suffering,” Tagle said.

“When I asked him, ‘Do you want to say a few words?’ he said: ‘What can we say?’ ... I thought he would say the central message of his homily, but before these 30 persons he himself was reduced to silence: The communion and solidarity that happens in silence.”

During Mass, a clearly moved Francis ditched his prepared texts and spoke off the cuff in his native Spanish — something he does when he wants to speak from the heart.

And there again, he was rendered practically speechless.

“So many of you have lost everything,” Francis told them. “I don’t know what to say to you, but the Lord does know what to say to you. Some of you lost part of your families. All I can do is keep silent. And I walk with you all with my silent heart.”

At the same time, though, there were some light moments. Francis clearly relished getting close to ordinary people and seemed to even get a thrill out of the adventure of escaping a storm’s wrath just in the nick of time.

Kodiak man enters guilty plea to coercion, attempted assault KODIAK — A convicted sex offender charged with a 2012 sexual assault in Kodiak has changed his plea in a deal with prosecutors.

The Kodiak Daily Mirror reports 34-year-old Robert Zoellner Jr. pleaded guilty Tuesday to coercion and attempted assault. Zoellner in 1999 was convicted in Michigan of attempted criminal sexual conduct. He served more than seven years in prison and is listed on the Alaska Department of Public Safety’s sex offender registry.

Zoellner will be sentenced April 27.

Woman gets prison for stealing mail, cashing checks ANCHORAGE — A 45-year-old Anchorage woman will serve 3 1/2 years in a federal prison after being convicted of bank fraud and aggravated identity theft.

The U.S. attorney’s office says in a release that Elizabeth Ingalsbe was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court in Anchorage.

Prosecutors say she was a member of a mail theft ring in Anchorage, cashing checks after they were stolen from mailboxes. The checks were altered to change the name of the payee and to increase the amount of the checks.

Authorities say the checks were usually made out for $100 or less but were altered to pay $900.

Jury: Negligent homicide conviction in diving death KETCHIKAN, Alaska (AP) — Jurors in Alaska have found a commercial fisherman guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the death of a Kansas diver who died while harvesting sea cucumbers.

The jury on Friday found Joshua Wodyga not guilty of manslaughter.

Prosecutors argued that Wodyga’s negligence in maintaining an air compressor and air filter led to the death of Levi Adams, 32, of Leawood, Kansas. He died of carbon monoxide poisoning and drowning while he and Wodyga were diving in 2013 in waters off Mountain Point.

Mark Osterman, Wodyga’s attorney, contended the death was an accident and partly causes by Adams’ inexperience as a diver.

Dogs sweep Bears

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

While the Brown Bears were away losing 12 of 13 games on a road trip, fans heard of a team playing pretty good hockey for, say, 50 minutes, but still managing to lose by multiple goals due to a 10-minute bad stretch.

It may have been hard to understand reading about it, or watching it on a one-camera video feed, but Friday at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex 801 fans got to experience it firsthand in a 6-3 defeat to the Fairbanks Ice Dogs.

Ben Boettger/Peninsula Clarion The trend continued SatAdam Anderson and Ryner Gorowsky of Fairbanks play against Tyler Andrews and Evan Butch- urday night with a 4-1 loss to er of Kenai River at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex on Friday. the Ice Dogs in front of 807.

The 14th straight defeat for the Bears drops them to 11-25-2, four points behind the Minnesota Magicians in the race for the final playoff slot out of the North American Hockey League Midwest Division. The Ice Dogs move to 25-11-3 and lead the Ravn Alaska Cup, the season-long battle with the Bears, by a 7-1 count.

Even though Kenai River outshot Fairbanks in the opening period Saturday, it was the Ice Dogs coming away with two goals. Todd Burgess slipped the puck by Evan Hauser midway through the frame to open the scoring, and Hans Gorowsky scored a second Fairbanks goal just 1 minute, 45 seconds, later to put

the Dogs up 2-0. Gorowsky ended the night with an additional two assists.

The Brown Bears fought back in the middle period, which was highlighted by a goal from Jack Gessert — his 20th of the season, ranking him fourth in the league — with help from Jack Nickels with 5:17 to play in the frame.

With a rash of power-play goals against the Brown Bears in recent games, it seemed as though Kenai River would escape Saturday with a clean penalty kill sheet. However, that changed with 2:38 to play in the game when Jacob Hetz scored the insurance goal for Fairbanks on a power play.

Nikiski boys claim their tourney Bulldogs girls come within seconds of giving their school a clean sweep

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

The Nikiski boys and girls basketball teams came within seconds Saturday of sweeping their own Nikiski Tip-Off tournament for the first time in 17 years, but the Houston Hawks had other ideas.

The Nikiski boys cruised to their first Tip-Off tournament championship in 11 years with a 62-39 win over Houston, while the Nikiski girls were left to ponder what could have been after a late bucket and a foul shot pushed Houston to a thrilling 36-35 victory in the final seconds.

In the boys game, the Bulldogs secured their first tourney title since 2004 with a late surge in the third and fourth quarters, which capped off a 3-0 weekend record and denied the Hawks their fifth tournament win in six years.

Coach Reid Kornstad — who was a part of that most recent Nikiski team that won its home tournament — still fondly recalls that triumph.

“I almost remember that,” joked Kornstad. “That was a great bunch of guys 11 years ago, they were a special group.”

Kornstad said this year’s team has steadily become a

force that does not back down when the pressure is on, and Saturday’s performance indicated what he saw in recent practices.

“Whenever the other team fights back and goes on a run, we started fighting back against their run and didn’t allow them to catch back up,” Kornstad said. “It shows a lot of growth in the mental toughness area.”

Luke Johnson and Hunter Holloway combined for 30 points, as well as 10-for-12 shooting from the free-throw line. Johnson scored a gamehigh 16 points and Holloway chipped in 14. Houston’s Ben

Bitler scored all of his teamhigh 14 points in the first three quarters, while teammate Kade Taylor was a perfect 10for-10 from the charity line to end with 13 points. The Hawks went 20-for-29 overall from the free-throw line.

Leading 26-15 at halftime, Nikiski went shot-for-shot with Houston in the third quarter, getting 16 points from seven different players to stake out a 42-28 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

That’s where the Bulldogs really began to take off. Sullivan Jackson nailed a triple in the opening minute of the See TIP, page B-4

A full weekend of North Star Conference hockey on the Kenai Peninsula ended with the three teams from the Matanuska-Susitna valleys bunched on top of the standings.

There are 10 total league games to play. Palmer jumped to the top of the standings with a perfect weekend on the Peninsula.

The Moose (6-1-0 in the league) finished the trip with a 3-1 victory over Kenai Central at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex on Saturday. The Kardinals fell to 2-6-0 in the conference with the loss.

Colony is 5-1-1 in the league and went 2-1 on the trip to the Peninsula. The Knights beat Soldotna 5-0 at the sports complex Saturday. SoHi fell to 1-61 in the league with the loss.

Wasilla, at 5-2-1, is just behind Colony in the standings.

Wasilla also was 2-1 on the weekend, and won 3-0 Saturday at Homer. The Mariners are 2-5-1.

On Tuesday, Soldotna is at Homer, while Thursday Homer comes to visit Kenai at the

sports complex. SoHi and Kenai then wrap the regular season with a game Jan. 31.

“These are the big games to play — the games against the local kids always mean a little bit more,” Kenai coach Michael Tilly said. “We’re looking forward to taking on Soldotna and Homer and it all starts with the preparation at practice.”

Palmer 4, Soldotna 3 The Moose survived a wild finish for the North Star Conference win Friday at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex.

After a scoreless first period, Darren Fish gave the Moose a 1-0 lead with 14 minutes left in the second period. But Levi Hensley would score at the 11:40 mark for the Stars for a tie game.

Then came a crucial point in the game, when Palmer was able to kill a five-minute major.

Right after the penalty, Cole Clements, who was serving the penalty, scored with 3:35 left in the period for a 2-1 lead.

Bartlett, Dimond hoops sweep their way through Peninsula

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Bartlett High School basketball coach Greg Fullmer fully enjoys the annual trip down to the Kenai Peninsula each winter when his boys team faces local competition. It’s especially gratifying when his team wins.

The Bartlett boys left no doubt who the supreme team was Friday night at Soldotna Preparatory School when they defeated Soldotna 62-38 in nonconference play.

“It’s always fun to come to Soldotna and Kenai because the people here treat us like a million dollars,” Fullmer said after the game. “We come down every year and we’re already planning on coming down next year.”

With the Soldotna High School gym out of commission due to a high school dance, the Golden Bears put on a dazzling display of blocking, stealing, shooting and even dunking in the slightly smaller gym at the prep school.

Even more impressive was the stat sheet. Even with 62 points of offense, no Bartlett player scored in double digits. Sophomore team captains La-

traviaus Kingsland and Anthony Camacho both notched nine points, the highest on the team.

Hunter Phillips led Soldotna with 13 points, while senior teammate Nate Spence chipped in 10.

“We played at a higher speed than normal,” said Soldotna coach Mark Tuter. “We played a very athletic team, so that’s going to bode well for us later.

“We realized that we can’t miss a bunch of shots to begin with and get down against a good team.”

Bartlett burst out of the gate with a 29-4 run that lasted into the middle of the second quarter. The Bears were getting post shots from Kajae Mader and 3-point sniper shots from Kage Freelove, which left the Stars defense scrambling.

Soldotna was able to hold its own on offense as well, but seemingly every close-range attempt was swatted away by the long, spindly arms of Duol Yat or Bentiu Panoam, who stand at 6-foot-7 and 6-foot-3, respectively.

Both players had several big blocks on the backboard that had the crowd in a frenzy.

“Every team has a signature, in the

H oops R oundup way they play,” Fullmer said. “It’s dictated a lot of times by the personality you have. We’re an athletic team, so we like to pressure the ball.”

By the time halftime rolled around, Bartlett held a 40-16 lead.

“We stopped the ball early, and we really got after it,” Fullmer said about what impressed him the most. “The pressure made the difference there early.”

Bartlett also is rolling in with a hot streak in the new year after capturing the Alaska Prep Shootout with a win over the Dimond Lynx last Saturday.

“It was really good for our morale to do that,” Fullmer said. “But the season is a long one, there’s a long way to go.”

After the sluggish start, the Stars began to etch away at the deficit with a mix of jump shots and breakaway layups from Spence and Phillips.

SoHi scored six straight points in a 40-second span late in the first half to cut Bartlett’s lead to 31-13.

In the second half, the closest SoHi managed to get to the lead was 18 points on two separate occasions in the third quarter. However, the Bears’ depth was too much to overcome.

“We came out with a zone (defense), we knew they were more athletic than us,” Tuter said. “But they hit two or three 3s and were off and running, and we missed a couple layups, and that was the problem.”

Dimond girls 55, Soldotna 36 Due to a venue change, the Soldotna girls were playing a home game not located in their usual gym. Instead, the colors were more suited for the visiting Dimond Lynx, and the visiting team ran away with a close game in the second half to score a win.

The game was a rematch of last spring’s fourth-place contest at the Class 4A girls state tournament, which SoHi won.

This time around, the Lynx (8-2) got the last laugh. Senior Rohyn Huss led the way with 20 points, including an 8-for-10 performance from the free-throw line.

Dimond coach Jim Young said win-

ning games too early in the season can actually backfire on a team, creating a false sense of comfort, but Friday’s win confirmed his squad is headed in the right direction.

“I had some kids that contributed off the bench today that normally don’t play as much,” Young said. “I thought they came in with a lot of energy and sparked the team effort.”

Lindsey Wong led Soldotna with 12 points — including hitting all six freethrow attempts — while Haley Miller added nine and Daisy Nelson scored seven with a pair of 3s.

After a closely matched first half that saw the Stars stay mostly step for step with the Lynx, Young said he told his players to deliver a harder press in the second half.

“When we bring the energy, we’re such an up-tempo team, and so a lot of teams will play zone against us to try and slow us down,” Young said. “But a lot of times, if we slow the ball down and play to their tempo, it’s hard for us to be successful.”

Miller brought SoHi to within a bucket of Dimond early in the second quarter, then pushed the Stars to an See HOOPS, page B-2

outright lead with 2:27 remaining in the first half with a steal and a driving layup that left Dimond trailing 16-15.

After a layup from Justine Anderson put the Lynx back into the lead, Wong was fouled and hit both ensuing free throws to leapfrog Dimond once again with 1:47 to go.

Dimond ended the first half on a spurt, however, getting six quick points in the final 1:25 from Lauren Hines and Huss to stake out a 23-18 lead.

Turnovers cost SoHi in the third quarter, as Dimond committed several steals that led to points on the other side of the floor to boost its lead.

The Stars clawed back to within four points — a jump shot from Wong with 1:03 to go in the frame left SoHi trailing 31-27 — but Dimond immediately responded with 11 unanswered points.

“You gotta work and you can’t be comfortable with any lead, and that’s what I told the girls,” Young said.

Eagle River boys 48, Soldotna 36 The visiting Wolves dominated the fourth quarter to pick up the nonconference victory Saturday.

Soldotna led 21-20 at the half and 33-30 heading into the fourth quarter, but Eagle River dominated the final eight minutes 18-3.

Men’s Scores

Soldotna skier Sadie Fox led Kenai Peninsula skiers by taking third in the “A” final in classic sprint skiing at the Besh Cup in Fairbanks.

The races were originally supposed to be held at Tsalteshi Trails just outside of Soldotna, but were moved to Fairbanks due to lack of snow.

Lack of snow also obviously affected Fox’s training, but that didn’t stop her from winning her quarterfinal and taking third in her semifinal to get into the “A” final.

In the girls Under-16 races, Addison Gibson of Kenai led the area by taking fourth in the “B” final.

Besh Cup racing continues Sunday in Fairbanks with a classic mass start beginning at 11 a.m. This is the fourth in a six-race series that determines Team Alaska for Junior Nationals.

Maurin Bouvet of the Brown Bears pressures Ethan Somoza of Fairbanks at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex on Friday. The Ice Dogs won 6-3.

. . . Bears Continued from page B-1

Chandler Madry iced the game with an empty-netter with 79 seconds left.

Evan Hauser took the loss in goal for the Bears, stopping 28 of 31 shots sent his way, while Kevin Aldridge saves 31 of 32 shots for Fairbanks.

The start on Friday couldn’t have been much better for Kenai River. Just 26 seconds into the game, Jack Gessert rammed in a rebound goal set up by Maurin Bouvet and Alex Jackstadt.

Then at the 13:44 mark, Kenai Central product Zack Zulkanycz, playing in his first home game since returning from the United States Hockey League, converted a 2-on-1 with Gessert for a short-handed tally.

“The guys came out and showed a lot of energy in front of the home crowd,” Bears head coach Geoff Beauparlant said. “When you score short-handed, more often than not you win the hockey game.”

But just 21 seconds later, a stretch of just over 10 minutes began what would decide the game. The Bears gave up power-play goals to Jacob Hetz, Todd Burgess and Jakob Stridsberg in that time, as well as an even-strength goal to Hans Gorowsky.

fourth to spark a 12-point unanswered run that saw Nikiski open up a 54-28 lead with 4:10 remaining in the game.

“The guys have been starting to work in practice on things that have cost us wins about the last three or four weeks,” Kornstad said. “We’re starting to see the fruits of that now. I’m happy for them.”

Johnson and Nathan Carstens were named to the All-Tournament boys team. Dillingham’s Kenneth Savo was named the boys MVP. Earlier in the day, the Nikiski girls lost a heartbreaker.

The Bulldogs — looking for their first Tip-Off title since 2008 — jumped out to an early lead and looked to be on path to deliver a blowout win to the home fans, holding the Hawks to only two field goals in the first half and leading by as much as 21-10 early in the third quarter.

However, Houston coach Colton Connor decided to change things up and implement a new offensive scheme.

“We set up this offense this week, specifically for this tournament, and I waited until the second half,” Connor said. “It’s a dribble-drive attack, and they were getting defenders to make mistakes.

“I was a little shaky on it because we didn’t get a lot of practice with it.”

After a 3-pointer from Nikiski senior Rachel Thompson left Houston trailing by 11 after the halftime break, Houston began to get to the basket much more effectively than it had been all game, and the comeback was on.

That meant heading into the first intermission in a 4-2 hole.

Fairbanks coach Trevor Stewart said he could tell by reading his team during the day that a slow start was probable.

“We expected as a staff for us to be a little flat-footed,” Stewart said. “Kenai came out with energy. Our guys regrouped and had a good remainder of the period.”

Beauparlant had any number of reasons to be displeased by the stretch. He wasn’t happy with his team for taking any of the penalties, with all three being stick penalties either behind the play or 200 feet from the goal.

Last weekend, the Ice Dogs were 5 of 12 on the power play in two games against the Bears. Special teams was emphasized in practice, yet breakdowns still occurred.

“Some of our better players are making plays,” said Stewart of his power play, which was up to fourth in the league after the game.

“We have good spacing and puck management and guys are putting it in the back of the net when they have the chance.”

In the second period, the Bears righted the ship, outshot the Ice Dogs 11-7 and cut the gap to 4-3 when Jackstadt ripped home a shot from the slot set up by Bouvet and Tyler Andrews.

Houston scored 14 unanswered points to take a 2421 lead with 7:01 to go in the fourth quarter. From there, the two teams swapped the lead five more times before the grand finale.

Nikiski junior Alison Litke delivered three clutch buckets down the stretch to keep the Bulldogs out front, and a free throw from Thompson with 16 seconds left had Nikiski leading 35-33.

However, Houston junior Kimberly Quincy delivered the crushing blow to Nikiski in the final seconds of the game.

Quincy managed to break free from her defender with a welltimed screen from a teammate, receive the inbounds pass under the bucket and score the tying layup with 4.4 seconds on the clock, getting fouled in the process.

“I was just thinking, we need to get this, get a good pass, and it was perfect,” said an excited Quincy after the game. “It was so insane!”

Quincy sank the go-ahead free throw, then joined her teammates in attempting to keep Nikiski from scoring in the final four seconds of the game. Thompson’s half-court shot at the buzzer fell short.

“It hit the rim and kind of went in and I was like, ‘Go in!’” Quincy said. “I heard the foul (whistle), and the whole time before I shot that free throw I said, ‘Guys, we need to get back on defense!’”

Quincy scored 14 of her game-high 20 points in the second half to lead Houston to the tournament title after going 3-0 on the weekend.

Thompson led the Bulldogs with 17 points and was named tournament girls MVP. Litke chipped in nine and was named to the girls All-Tournament

But the backbreaker came with 11:41 left in the third period, when Kenai River failed to clear a puck, then goalie Evan Hauser didn’t make a strong enough play pushing that puck to the corner.

Lonnie Clary pounced on the puck and hit Yannick Vedel out front for the goal.

“We had an above average third period for a road game,” Stewart said. “We played tight hockey and didn’t give away too much.”

He said goalie Kevin Aldridge’s stats didn’t look great at 21 saves on 24 shots, but added Aldridge couldn’t have done much about the goal. Stewart also said John Teets, with two assists, played well.

Beauparlant also was pleased with Hauser, who made 21 saves on 26 shots.

He said the line of Gessert, Bouvet and Jackstadt played well, and Zulkanycz and Matt Rudin also added spark to the lineup.

“5-on-5, we played well,” Beauparlant said. “If you take away the empty-net goal, we outscored them 3-2.

We were able to sustain pressure and finish our opportunities.”

Next up for the Bears is a three-game home series with the Coulee Region (Wisconsin) Chill.

The games on Friday and Saturday are at 7:30 p.m., while the Jan. 25 game is at 3 p.m.

team. Nikiski went 2-1 on the weekend.

“After the first half, if you would’ve told me we were gonna be in it, I would’ve said it was going to be a battle,” Connor said. “This girls team, I’ve never coached anyone like them. They will work buzzer to buzzer, and they do things right.”

Dillingham girls 47, Kotzebue 38 The Dillingham girls finished 1-2 at the tournament, while Kotzebue ended up 0-3.

Sydney Dray had 12 points to lead Dillingham, while Cassidy Kramer had 10 points for Kotzebue.

Wasilla 4, Kenai Central 2 The Warriors used a strong third period to come back from a two-goal deficit and top the Kardinals on Friday at the sports complex.

Kenai’s Dalton Dosko, on assists from Levi Mese and Cody Arbelovsky, had the lone goal of the first period.

Dosko then put the Kards up 2-0 in the second period, but Garrett Conroy cut the gap to 2-1 heading into the third period.

In the third period, Russell Harren, Luke Schruf and Braden Brunnhoelzl scored for the Warriors.

Colony had the gap cut to 3-2 heading into the third on goals from Cole Bloemer and Josh Boyer.

But in the third, Homer would score three goals in less than two minutes. Sanarov had the first two to complete his hat trick, then assisted Clem Tillion on the third with 8:33 left in the game.

Colony stormed back with goals from Cade Havel, Otto Thiele and Shawn Mitchell, but could not find the equalizer.

With 5:37 left in the third period, Valary Dietz put the Moose up 3-1, but Soldotna answered at the 2:37 mark with an unassisted goal from Justice Miller.

However, at 1:53, Palmer went back up 4-2 when Chris Dojka lit the lamp.

Not done yet, and with goalie Billy Yoder pulled for the extra attacker, Soldotna’s Ty Fenton waited for Palmer goalie Cody Grogan to fall down and scored from a tough angle for a 4-3 game with 1:09 to play.

With 14 seconds left, SoHi earned a faceoff in the Palmer zone and SoHi coach Derek Urban called timeout.

The Stars won the faceoff and had several great chances in a scrum in front of the net.

“I jumped up and down thinking it was in several times,” Urban said.

The Stars had lost 8-2 to Palmer earlier in the season, and Urban said the game showed his team’s improvement.

Soldotna also is emerging from a midseason scoring slump.

“In the middle of the season, I think we were trying to be too fancy,” Urban said. “What we’ve been emphasizing with the boys in the last part of the season is to put the puck on net.”

Yoder had 21 saves on 25 shots.

Troisi said the game was a little close for comfort after having a 4-2 lead late, but he gave credit to Soldotna for not giving up.

He also gave credit to Dietz and Matthew Bembenek for solid games. Grogan had 23 saves on 26 shots.

few weeks ago my buddy Turk called and was so fired up I could feel the plastic in my phone starting to soften from the heat of his tirade.

He has been a DISH satellite user for years and was apoplectic that they had suddenly removed the FOX business and news channels over some contract dispute.

DISH, of course, was claiming that is was the E-Vile FOX Empire that had withheld the programming.

I suggested that he chill because the satellite company had the same situation with the Turner Broadcasting programs awhile back, including CNN. The two squabbling entities were able to settle their differences within a month while still accusing each other as being the despicable miscreants responsible for the outage.

Note: I must stop here and admit that I’m also a longtime DISH Network customer and somewhat PO’d at the situation albeit not for the same reasons as Turk. I’ll get to that a bit later.

Turk was amazed to hear that CNN had been dropped for awhile instead of totally shutdown. He thought the outfit’s ratings had shrunk so much that the only viable audience it had anymore were people stuck at airport boarding areas.

To say the least, he’s a bit on the conservative side.

Now don’t get him wrong. He’s not an anonymous ideologue who jumps into blogs or online comment sessions to undertake senseless insult hurling that solves zilch.

The guy has the highest respect for those who engage in an intelligent debate no matter what side they are on but once they step outside the ring of civility he gives them the same respect as the some party animal who is on his/ her second keg while trying to elucidate the basic concept of polar and non polar molecules using an Etch-A-Sketch.

According to Turk, “That’s when they start coming across as clueless ^*&^%$+&s who don’t usually have anything better to do than sit in a dark corner of some basement playing Candy Crush while taking a myriad of questionable IQ tests trying to get a result higher than their pet gecko.”

I suggested that he could watch The Kelly File and others online along with the FOX business reports. (He enjoys some of Bill O’Reilly’s stuff but says he can’t afford a flat screen big enough to encompass the commentator’s ego.)

He admitted he hadn’t considered that option and chilled down to a subtle growl then hung up after mumbling something about the opposing companies being manipulative egotistical tools that were ripping off customers along with their advertisers.

He had a good point. If I ran a business shelling out big bucks to sponsor certain programs and those shows were being blocked, I’d strap on some hip waders and threaten both sides with a kick in their financial assets that would make a drug free colonoscopy feel like sitting on a down pillow.

Anyway, things went back to being cool until all hell broke loose when the opposing factions upped the ante and the local FOX channel was thrown into the dispute Dumpster.

Not cool. We’re talking the loss of NFL playoff games, regular primetime and local Alaskan programs.

Now it was getting personal.

Just as I was girding my computer screen with battle-ready Post It notes containing sardonic comments and flat out grumping about the current status of the FOX signal, the doors blew off my gmail account.

People were seriously peeved about KTBY being removed from DISH including some FOX News haters who were not only football fans but super honked at not being able to catch the latest episode of Gotham and sundry other offerings.

I was relieved to see no one was blaming area vendors for the mess but there was some talk of switching services.

I must admit I was momentarily annoyed enough to consider that option until a brief stroll with the pooch patrol cooled my jets.

As we were strolling back to the cabin, I noticed the old TV aerial still attached atop our yard light.

We hadn’t used the antenna since the satellite receiver was installed years ago but, on a hunch, I hooked its cable up to our existing system and “POW!” after a couple of set adjustments the Anchorage FOX channel was rocking our flat screen.

As of this writing, the dispute goes on while those with DIRECTV, cable, and basic repeater access could care less. Hopefully things will be settled by the time the column is published.

As for this DISH dude, I learned that a little contemplation and a small step back in tech time can reap sweet rewards, especially when the catalyst of a pending kickoff is involved.

North Road Rangers take part in educational moose hunt Some people believe that when an animal is hunted and harvested, that animal has given itself to the hunter. When Matt Rankin, of Nikiski, shot a cow moose as part of his 4-H club’s State of Alaska Educational Moose Hunt on Dec. 2, 2104 he said that is exactly what it felt like.

“If I would’ve come by any later, she would’ve been gone. We spotted her on the trail, watched her for about ten minutes to make sure there wasn’t a calf with her, then she headed into the woods. I wouldn’t have seen her if she had been in the woods. It was almost like she was there waiting for us.”

Rankin and his children spotted the cow moose on Dec. 2 around 10 a.m. as they were out scouting for a cow with no calf. They’d been out the morning before and had only seen bull moose.

The permit is very specific in its requirements that groups harvest only a cow moose and the cow must not have a calf. The permit also dictates that an adult Alaska resident with a current hunting license be the shooter for the group.

The North Road Rangers 4-H Shooting Club chose the first week of December for their hunt since that week worked best for Rankin and John Heft, the two listed shooters. The optimum situation for the group was that Rankin would be able to scout and harvest a moose at the beginning of the week to allow for the group to be able to take part in the field dressing, hanging and butchering, and that it would coincide with school schedules, work schedules, and a jury duty schedule. The hope was to have the moose taken no later than Wednesday and have the whole operation completed

by Sunday.

And that’s exactly how it happened.

Once the cow moose was down, Rankin alerted the rest of the club members via cell phone, and within an hour, all twelve members of the North Road Rangers were in the field.

Elora Reichert, 12, Corbin Reichert, 9, Daniel Boatright, 16, Matthea Boatright, 14, Michael Boatright, 11, Henry Heft, 14, all of Nikiski, joined Rankin and his kids, Colton Rankin, 12, Gracie Rankin, 11, and Ella Rankin, 9, in the field. The club also has three young members, Nathanael Boatright, 7, Evelyn Reichert, 7 and Levi Rankin, 6 who joined in the hunt as the club’s Cloverbud members. Parent Katie Reichert brought her dad along who served the

club well as club grandpa and guide as he and Rankin gave instruction and led the group in field dressing the moose.

Club leaders John and Marie Heft volunteered the use of their buggy to help haul the moose out of the woods and once it was trailered, all club members commenced at the Heft’s shop in Nikiski for a pizza party and hanging the moose to cool.

Butchering took place over the weekend, and with the help of dads, moms, grandpas and sharp knives, the cow moose was butchered and processed by the end of the day Saturday. Each of the four families involved took a portion of the moose’s hide and are working on projects in preserving and tanning and sewing.

A potlatch was held on Dec. 29 where each family brought a moose meat dish to share.

The actual hunt is a culmination of educational meetings and presentations on the amazing resource Alaskans enjoy, the moose. The total time of meetings and events involved in the hunt span three months, and each member of the club researched, compiled and presented information on various topics related to the moose including anatomy, habitation, nutrition, reproduction, communication, senses, shot placement, cuts of meat, meat preparation, and creating bone tools.

Each member completed a public presentation on the project, and will enter a project related to the hunt in the Kenai Peninsula Fair. One family is currently working on leather bracelet construction, another As part of the, members of the North Road Rangers learned has bones drying in order to how to field dress and process a moose. create a bone knife.

The hunt came about as the result of parents and club members agreeing in the spring that it would be an amazing club opportunity, and after months of paper work, research and permit requests completed by club leader Marie Heft, the club received the go-ahead in late-Fall from Alaska Department of Fish and Game to complete the hunt by the end of the year. Four meetings were held prior to the hunt, with public presentations being given, traditional Native Alaskan strength-building games being taught and hunting videos viewed that were obtained from ADFG. After the potlatch, one last meeting was scheduled to give the youth further opportunity to present to the club what they’ve learned and to hear from a Native Alaskan on the traditional ways of hunting and preserving moose.

In addition to just the excitement of simply harvesting the moose, club members felt an even deeper kinship for the cow after butchering and finding bird shot in one of her legs, buck shot in another, BB gun pellets scattered throughout her body, a pellet in her heart, an abscessed wound in her head and extremely worn teeth. It was apparent she was an old cow, and her wounds and her long life brought about even more respect for her life from club members.

North Road Rangers, based out of Nikiski, has been an active 4-H shooting club since 2012. Under leadership and instruction from Marie Heft, John Heft, and Matt Rankin, the twelve members have learned how to properly handle and shoot a gun based on 4-H’s national shooting standards. They have competed in local shoot-outs, have hosted competitions at the Kenai Peninsula Fair, and have enjoyed many hours of shooting on the range at the Snowshoe Gun Club. This was the group’s first organized hunt.

Judge overturns home health care wage, overtime rules

By PETE YOST Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Wednesday overturned Labor Department regulations requiring overtime and minimum wage protection for 2 million home health care workers.

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon had scrapped part of the rules in December, and Wednesday he completed the process.

In his decision, Leon said that the Labor Department’s concerns about wages for home care providers are understandable, but that Congress is the appropriate forum in which to debate a complex issue affecting so many families.

President Barack Obama announced the rules in 2011, avoiding a trip through a hostile Congress that would have been required had the administration chosen the legislative path. Obama presented the rules with fanfare as part of a campaign to boost the economy through executive branch action.

The law Congress wrote in 1974 exempted home health care workers from wage and overtime requirements, Leon wrote, and nothing has happened to change that. “Here, yet again, the de-

‘We are deeply disturbed by Judge Leon’s decision. After three full years, the regulatory process has run its course, and America’s 2 million home care workers should not have to wait any longer for fair pay.’

— Jodi M. Sturgeon, president of PHI partment is trying to do through regulation what must be done through legislation,” he said, adding that the exemption was meant to ensure affordability for the maximum number of families.

Wednesday’s ruling scrapped a provision in the Labor Department’s rules that had broadened the number of workers eligible for minimum wage and overtime.

In response to the judge’s ruling, the Labor Department said in a statement that it was considering all of its legal options.

The rule was “legally sound and the right policy,” the department said, “both for those employees, whose demanding work merits these fundamental wage guarantees, and for recipients of services, who deserve a stable and C

professional workforce allowing them to remain in their homes and communities.”

Jodi M. Sturgeon, president of PHI, a group advocating for home care workers, said “we are deeply disturbed by Judge Leon’s decision. After three full years, the regulatory process has run its course, and America’s 2 million home care workers should not have to wait any longer for fair pay.”

Labor unions and worker advocates had sought the new rules for years, arguing that home care workers deserve higher wages. But home health care companies employing many of the workers claimed the new overtime rules would make it tougher for families to afford home care for their aging parents.

At the loss of Princess, Patches is mourning for her longtime canine friend

O

n what was to be the last day of her life, Princess felt a little better than she had the day before, when her legs kept giving way and splaying out as she tried to stand.

We awoke to find her in the living room with a plastic grocery bag wrapped around her neck and leg. We wondered how that came to be until we went into the kitchen for our coffee and found that our Pomeranian had torn into a 13-gallon trash bag and strewn the contents across the floor, eating who-knows-what along the way.

Although she had been able to tear through plastic, the 11-year-old had not stopped her constant, croupy coughing, the result – various veterinarians said – of congestive heart failure that had not responded to pills, capsules and cough syrup.

What I learned through counseling is that an emotional affair may do more damage than an inperson one. While I thought I had a great marriage, she was thinking about what might have been with her first love. She wouldn’t Abigail Van Buren end the relationship and finally we divorced.

That was three years ago. He separated from his wife, and they lived together until she found out he wasn’t the same person in real life that he was online or how she thought she remembered him from their youth. It didn’t last, and he went back to his wife. My ex was sorry for what happened and wanted a second chance with me, but it was too late.

I’m now married to a wonderful woman I trust completely. My ex lost all she had except her memories of the 30 happy years we had together.

People need to understand how dangerous an emotional affair can be. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence. Old flames change from who they were in their youth, and an online fling can be disastrous.

Man’s interest in old flame is rekindled at 25th reunion DEAR ABBY: I’m a happily married man with a great family that’s mostly grown.

In high school I was infatuated with a girl, “Stacy,” who was the center of attention, especially from the guys. As seniors we were close, but we never dated. When I left for college, we lost track.

In college I became involved with the woman who would become my wife.

Before our wedding, I was at a friend’s wedding, and Stacy and I danced several dances. Our chemistry was electric. I nearly broke up with my fiancee to see if Stacy and I could get together, but common sense prevailed.

At our 25th reunion, I saw Stacy again.

She looked as good as ever. She is also happily married with a family. She gave me a hug that lasted a little too long, but was every bit as electric as our dance back then. Now I’m wondering what I have missed. Was the hug a signal or just the affectionate embrace of a good friend?

I’m afraid to contact her because I don’t want to ruin my reputation or hers.

We live in different states. Even if there is a spark there, I’m not sure we could sustain a relationship. But how do I get her off my mind? I’m tortured by the memories of the dance and the hug.

— ROMANTIC TEXAN DEAR ROMANTIC: Let common sense prevail again and quit playing with fire before someone gets burned.

The next letter may offer you some insight: DEAR ABBY: My ex-wife of more than 30 years reconnected with an old love from college through a social website. I was OK with it until I noticed she was getting obsessed with his chats. She kept saying they were just old friends and I should trust her.

It went on for months, until one day she forgot to close her chat session. It was obvious she regretted not marrying him and was reliving her past. We discussed it and I kept hearing, “Trust me, we’re only fantasizing.” It went downhill from there.

We went through marriage counseling, but nothing changed.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Jan. 18, 2015: This year you exhibit unusual creativity and vitality. Your magnetism speaks to others and often draws results that you might not expect. You could become very cautious about what you focus on because of a tendency to manifest what you want to happen. If you are single, you could meet someone significant to your life’s history after July, but you’ll have a great time getting there.

If you are attached, you might need to become more aware of your sweetie and his or her needs. CAPRICORN is difficult to get to know, even for you.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You could feel pressured by a responsibility to the point that you might be grumbling under your breath. Tap into your creativity, and you will discover an unusual but effective solution. Think of accepting less responsibility in the future. Tonight: A must appearance.

This Week: Spend time networking.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You’ll break right past a hassle by detaching and seeing the situation from an outsider’s perspective. Your position will become more compassionate as you gain a better understanding of what motivates others. Tonight: Follow the music. Celebrate!

This Week: Others seem to be going to extremes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You suddenly might catch yourself snapping at a friend, or vice versa. One of you seems to have been carrying a grievance that has been building up for some time. Learn to express your feelings earlier, and they won’t carry such negative power. Tonight: Out late.

This Week: Detach, and you will gain a new perspective.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH If you don’t claim your power, you will feel like a puppet with someone else orchestrating your moves. Your willingness to give a lot can cause others to sense that you care more than they do. Let go of a need to be in control. Tonight: You decide whether or not you want to participate.

This Week: Deal with associates directly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Deciding to vanish might be a good change of pace for the social Lion. You’ll recharge and have some thinking time when your social schedule is not so active. Revisit your priorities, as they could be changing. Be willing to acknowledge that fact. Tonight: Not to be found.

This Week: Others seek you out, though not always with a smile.

Tonight: Enjoy life with the ones you love.

This Week: Your plate is full; be careful about making other plans.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You could feel pressured by a situation or a commitment involving your family. Honor your word, and do what is necessary here. You can evaluate the commitment at a later point when everything calms down. Take a muchneeded nap. Tonight: Order in.

This Week: Fun and games start Tuesday, with romance being highlighted.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Who initiates a conversation won’t be relevant, as long as you keep your eye on your objective. Someone will be delighted to hear from you, even if he or she comes across as being combative or difficult. Honor a change of pace. Tonight: Let the party begin!

This Week: Focus on what is needed, not want you want.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You might want to push a key project to the finish line. Your finances could be involved, and your budget will require some time and thought. An issue with your home is likely to demand also your attention. Tonight: Call someone whom you have not seen in a while.

This Week: Socializing is high on your agenda after Tuesday.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHHYou seem to be feeling much better than you have in a while. You know what you want, and you know how to get there. Honor a change of pace, and make a longawaited decision. Bring a loved one into your plans; this person loves being with you. Tonight: You are on a roll.

This Week: Carefully weigh the pros and cons of a money matter.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Make it OK to vanish and be unavailable. You generally make a big effort to accommodate others. Why not do the same for yourself? You might need some time to review a situation that has cost you a lot. A loved one might not agree with your assessment. Tonight: Screen your calls.

This Week: You know what you want.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Zero in on what you want to do, which might involve bringing friends together for a fun happening.

You seem to have a lot of energy right now. If you don’t use it properly, you will find that you’ll become shorttempered quickly. Be careful! Tonight: Zero in on what you want.

This Week: Much might be happening around you.

A Telephone Milestone

Do you have a cellphone in your pocket? If not, your parents or older brothers and sisters probably carry one.

If you had been a kid just 20 years ago, it would have been unthinkable for you or a teenager to carry a cellphone. In 1995, about 33 million people in the United States, or about 12 percent, had In 1995, many cellphones cellphone looked something like this. service. In They were about the size of 2014, about some current home cordless 90 percent phones. of adults had cellphones.

Morse code uses dots and dashes to send messages. A dash signal is three times longer than a dot signal. Today, operators use automatic machines or computers to tap out the code. This “straight key” device is from the World War II era.

People can use Morse code to send messages with mirrors, flashlights or radio signals, too, especially in an emergency. The signal for SOS, a distress call, is:

Just imagine Today, we take it for granted that we can call across the country or around the world easily. But just 100 years ago, making a transcontinental phone call was the next big communications challenge.

On Jan. 25, 1915, two telephone calls between the East Coast and the West Coast of the United States were celebrated.

This week in The Mini Page, we find out more about the evolution of the telephone and those important calls.

Before telephones put us all in touch Before the telephone was invented in 1876, people could speak to each other in person or write letters. But the mail was slow, and it was expensive to send a letter.

Urgent messages could be sent by telegraph in the U.S. by the mid1800s. This system used Morse code, or dots and dashes that were tapped

onto a machine. The receiving machine would tap the coded message onto paper, and an operator would translate it.

But people had to go to a telegraph office to send a message. Only one message could be sent at a time, and the system didn’t always work well.

Anthony Davis

Anthony Davis has quickly become an NBA superstar Gus Goodsport’s in just his third season of professional basketball. With Supersport his trademark “unibrow,” Anthony was a standout at the University of Kentucky during the 2011-2012 season, helping the Wildcats capture the school’s eighth NCAA national championship. He was the first overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, selected by the New Orleans Pelicans.

Despite battling injuries in his first two seasons, Anthony proved his versatility. Last season, he led the league in blocked shots, his specialty. His efforts led to his 2014 selection as an NBA All-Star to replace an injured Kobe Bryant.

Height: 6-10 This season, Davis has been a force on both sides of the Age: 21 ball. Through the first 20 games, he was among the league Hometown: Chicago, Illinois leaders in several categories, averaging 24.8 points on 57.1 percent shooting and again leading the league in blocks, with 2.9 per game.

Telephones became popular very quickly. By 1915, more than 10 million telephones had been installed in the United States.

Early telephones were connected through an exchange. Operators sat at a switchboard. A caller talked to the operator first, asking to be connected to another person.

Telephone operators in the early 1900s connect callers at a switchboard.

Calling across the country — and the world In 1908, the president of AT&T had a goal of making coast-to-coast phone calls possible. Engineers had to figure out how to amplify, or increase, the electrical signals as they traveled along the wire.

A physicist named Lee de Forest invented a vacuum tube called an audion that boosted the signals. AT&T began building telephone wire poles from Denver toward the west. The lines east of Denver were upgraded with the vacuum tubes.

As you dialed a friend’s phone number, the phone read the signals and sent the call to the correct number.

On Jan. 25, 1915, in New York City, Alexander Graham Bell repeated his famous line, “Mr. Watson, come here. I want you.”

But this time Watson was in San Francisco, almost 3,000 miles away!

According to an article from The New York Times, a three-minute call between New York and San Francisco would have cost $20.70 at that time. That would be $477.64 today!

In January 1927, calls between New York and London became possible.

Next week, The Mini Page gets caught up with dinosaurs.

Cellphone signals are sent by radio waves to a cell tower.

The radio waves are transferred from tower to tower, then to the receiver’s phone.

Telephone improvements connect even more people • 1973: First call from a handheld mobile phone

• 1946: First mobile phone call (from a vehicle) • 1964: Push-button phones introduced

A telephone changes your voice into electrical signals. The signals are sent over a wire to another telephone, which changes the signals back into your voice for the person on the other end.

In cordless telephones, the handset sends radio waves to the base unit, which sends the signals over a wire.

When machines took over the switching of calls, customers got unique phone numbers and used a dial to contact each other. Operators were used only for long-distance or other special calls.

How does it work?

What’s your number?

It was Alexander Graham Bell who first made a telephone that would transmit voices. He wanted to make a telegraph that could send more than one message at a time. He thought the human voice could also be sent over a wire.

In March 1876, he was working with Thomas Watson, an assistant. He said, “Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.”

Watson was in Alexander Graham Bell made the first another room, long-distance phone but he heard call from New York to Chicago in 1892.

Bell’s voice through the machine they were working on. They had invented the telephone!

The two inventors kept working on their machine, and a few months later, they spoke to each other from different towns.

Volcanoes visible from the Kenai Peninsula, from north to south, are: Must see:

The phrase “Ring of Fire” sounds as if it belongs in a Tolkien epic, but on the Kenai Peninsula this geological phenomenon — referring to volcanic activity on the boundary of the Pacific Tectonic Plate­­ — has written an epic of its own, starring the five volcanoes visible across the Cook Inlet.

These volcanoes -Spurr, Redoubt, Iliamna, Augustine, and Douglas -- lie within the northsouth spine of the Chigmit Mountains and form the easternmost part of the Aleutian volcanic arc.

Cook Inlet sits atop a subduction zone where the Pacific Plate dives beneath the North American plate at roughly the same speed as growing fingernails.

The tremendous energy generated by this 8

subduction is responsible for pushing up the area’s mountain ranges, shaking the surface with frequent and sometimes devastating earthquakes, and heating material from the Earth’s mantle which occasionally finds its way to the surface as lava.

However, with the exception of Redoubt’s spring 2009 eruption, these five magnificent mountains have spent the last three decades in relative quiet.

In 2006, the 4,134-foot island mountain of Augustine burped steam and ash tens of thousands of feet into the air, but what seemed to be a precursor to an eruption -- like the one that rained ash on Homer and Seldovia in 1986 -instead petered out.

When people on the shore of Cook Inlet talk about “razors” they may be referring to Schick or Gillette, or they might be talking about the plentiful population of Pacific razor clams found in the coastline’s muddy tide plain.

This sort of razor can be found in clusters up and down the west coast of North America — in Oregon and Washington, British Columbia, and of course on the Kenai Peninsula, which supports

Gathering these tasty clams requires a sport fishing license, a clam shovel, waterproof boots, a bucket, and a willingness to get covered in mud.

Cooper Landing is an easy day trip from Kenai, or a nice stopping point on a trip to Seward, Riverside lodges, rafting, guided

fishing tours, and roadside shops form the businesses of many of the town’s less than 400 residents.

At the rest stop located near the Kenai River Bridge, travelers can view the source of the Kenai River or use spotting scopes to search nearby mountain peaks for dall sheep.

Live bears are common in the area as well. Be alert and prepared while hiking Cooper Landing’s trails.

ter, learn to tie a few knots.

For tying on swivels and lures — “terminal” tackle — the Palomar is easy to tie and strong. For fishing with salmon roe, the Egg Loop knot does the trick.

(If you’re not up to tying the Egg Loop, pre-tied hooks are available.)

Either the Trilene knot or the Uni-Knot will take care of most other situations. You’ll find instructions for tying these knots at most tackle vendors, in tide books and on the Internet. Sharp hooks catch more fish. You can tell when a hook is sharp by dragging its point across your thumbnail. A sharp hook will scratch and dig in. The most popular lure for kings and silvers is the Spin-N-Glo, usually enhanced with cured salmon roe. For pink and silver salmon in streams, try a size 4 or 5 Vibrax spinner.

For sockeyes, the Coho fly is the lure of choice.

Technique

The most popular method of bank fishing for salmon in streams is drift fishing. From shore, cast slightly upstream from straight across and let the current carry your lure downstream.

In streams, salmon usually stay close to the bottom. You should feel your lure or sinker tap ping along the bottom as the current carries it

2015 Peninsula Clarion Recreation and Travel Guide

downstream. If you don’t feel anything, put on a heavier sinker. Any unusual hesitation in the drift could be a fish. Quickly set the hook with a fast, upward swing of the rod.

When you hook a fish, keep your rod tip up, and let the rod and reel do the work. Whenever the fish isn’t running, “pump” the rod, cranking the reel only on the downstroke.

When the fish is tired, lead it headfirst into a landing net or slide it onto a gravel bar. Finding a place to fish where someone isn’t already fishing can be a problem, but don’t be afraid of crowds. If lots of people are fishing, the fishing is probably good.

Rules

Regulation booklets are available at stores that sell fishing licenses.

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game, 43961 Kalifornsky Beach Road in Soldotna, has free brochures on salmon-run timing and other useful information, such as public fishing areas. Fish and Game has a 24-hour telephone number for sport-fishing info 907262-2737. Before you go, be sure to read the regulations for the water you’ll be fishing, and know how to properly release a fish, should that become necessary.

Good fishing!

Know before you Go File photo/Peninsula Clarion

10 things every angler should know before dropping a line on the Kenai Peninsula 1. Where can I get a fishing license?

It’s easiest to purchase your fishing license after you arrive on the Kenai Peninsula, so you also can pick up a copy of the most current regulations. A few of the locations where a license can be purchased: In Kenai: Tesoro Express gas stations, Holiday Station stores, Safeway, Walmart In Soldotna: Tesoro Express gas station, Holiday Station store, Safeway, Fred Meyer, Soldotna Trustworthy Hardware, Sportsman’s Warehouse In Ninilchik: Ninilchik Trading Company In Homer: Safeway, Ulmer’s Drug and Hardware, and most fishing charter businesses In Seward: Safeway, Bay Traders True Value, and most fishing charter businesses.

Anyone under the age of 16 is not required to

www.peninsulaclarion.com

buy a fishing license. You can purchase a fishing license online. Applications are available online at bit.ly/ADFGLicense.

A fishing license will cover any shellfish or finfish in fresh or salt waters, except king salmon. To fish for a king salmon you will need to purchase a king salmon stamp in addition to your license.

Homer

The End of the Road Head south on the Sterling Highway until you run out of highway — there you’ll find a enclave of the unconventional and a gateway to Kachemak Bay.

Shortly before reaching the southern end of the Sterling Highway, you will drive over a hill and see a panoramic view of Kachemak Bay, with the town of Homer sitting on its edge. The narrow, wiggly strip of land reaching into the bay is the 4 mile Homer Spit, a terminal moraine composed of sand, gravel, coal and other debris left by a glacier retreating from the Kenai Mountains.

Today the spit is home to Homer’s freight and rec18

The town attached to the Spit is no less exciting, with more shops, galleries, restaurants, and recreational opportunities than you can shake a halibut at. Highlights include the Alaska Islands and Ocean Visitor Center, at Mile 95 of the Sterling Highway, which serves as headquarters for

Another scenic overlook of Homer and the Kachemak Bay can be had by cruising down Skyline Drive, a sometimes-rough road that follows the ridge overlooking town. At Mile 1.5 of East Skyline Drive, the Wynn Nature Center provides guided nature tours and hikes, as well as educational programs.

For those who come to Homer before or after the peak of summer, the crosscountry ski trails at Baycrest and Ohlson Mountain remain snow-covered well www.peninsulaclarion.com

into the spring.

From Skyline and Diamond Ridges, one can look across the bay at the mountains, forests and glaciers of Kachemak Bay State Park. These 400,000 wilderness acres are accessible only by boat or air travel. Charter operators, water taxis and boat rental companies in Homer can provide transport across the water. The towns of Seldovia (page 41) and Halibut

Cove also lie among the steep, roadless mountains across the bay, where they too are accessible only by air or water.

Hope

An Oasis has Bloomed in this Small Alaskan Town According to local lore, Hope was founded by prospectors who decided, in 1889, their impromptu settlement needed a formal name. Unable to agree among themselves, they compromised by deciding to christen the town after the next newcomer to arrive. Soon after, one Percy Hope disembarked from the Resurrection Creek ferry, and the gold rush community was given a fitting name.

Hope remains a small community of fewer than 20

200 residents, and the gold rush legacy persists in more than its name.

Its log cabin social hall still stands beside Resurrection Creek and still hosts events, including a pancake breakfast during the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wagon Trail Festival on the third weekend in July.

The Hope and Sunrise Historical and Mining Museum (incorporating the name of Sunrise, another local prospector town that no longer exists) displays antique mining equipment

driving from Kenai along Kalifornsky Beach Road, notice the salmon harvesting locations marked by fluorescent orange buoys floating in Cook Inlet.

Kasilof beach, located at the end of North Cohoe Loop Road, offers an even better glimpse into the commercial fishing industry, as shoreline “setnetters” can be seen pulling up their nets and picking out the fish before they are iced and shipped to restaurants and dinner tables all over the United States.

Salmon aren’t the only fish in town.

For anglers that like wetting a hook on quieter water, several local lakes offer exceptional trout fishing.

Most popular among these are Tustumena Lake, the peninsula’s largest lake, and Johnson Lake in the Johnson Lake State Recreation Area.

Johnson Lake also offers superb canoeing opportunities and has numerous campsites and picnic locations along the shore.

Ducks, loons, moose and bears are quite common around Kasilof, and www.peninsulaclarion.com

lynx, while rare, are also occasionally spotted by those with keen eyes.

As fishing comes to an end in winter, dog-sledding replaces it as the outdoor activity of choice. Several professional mushers train their teams on Kasilof ’s trails, including Dean Osmar, the 1984 Iditarod champion, and his son Tim Osmar, the 2001 champ of the 1,000-mile Yukon Quest. These trails are also home to the Tustumena

200 Sled Dog Race, as well as an entry point for snowmachiners into heading into the Caribou Hills trail region of the lower Kenai Peninsula.

For history buffs, the Kasilof Regional Historical Association’s McLane Center Museum is a mustsee. It offers a glimpse into the past with Native and homesteader artifacts and restored cabins once used by trappers and fox farmers.

In the language of the Athabascan Dena’ina Indians, “Ken’ey” means “two big flats and a river cutback.”

This geographic description is apt for the land of the present-day town of Kenai. The historic area became the first European settlement on mainland Alaska when it was colonized by Russian fur traders. Their influence can still be seen in the

For spotting bears, Morton said that the Hidden Creek area on Skilak Lake Loop Road is particularly good.

Skilak Lake Loop Road, a gravel road between Sterling and Cooper Landing off the Sterling Highway, runs through the Kenai Wildlife Refuge and serves as the starting point for many hiking trails, which lead to lakeside campgrounds and picnic areas where the chances of seeing wildlife are high.

Occasionally, whales and caribou can be spotted from that platform. The Kasilof River Flats are south of Kenai and can be accessed from Kalifornsky Beach Road and Cohoe Loop.

During the peak of summer fishing season, however, these locations provide views of human fishers as well as birds. Marlow recommended Marathon Road and Swanson River Road as locations to see more birds without seeing as many people.

“The Swanson River Road is always a good one because of the variety of habitats you can find there,” Marlow said. The Swanson River Road area is also part of the Kenai Wildlife Refuge and can be accessed near Sterling at mile 83.45 on the Sterling Highway, north of Kenai and Soldotna.

Marlow said that some birds can be found just about anywhere.

“Boreal chickadee is a highlight for a lot of people,” he said. These birds are easily spotted at most bird feeders.

Fishing Holes - Listed on the map are names of popular fishing holes with colorful monikers, such as “Toilet Hole” and “Falling In Hole.”

The fishing holes usually derive their names from characteristics of the surrounding area on the river, or events that took place at the particular location. For example, “Chicago” refers to a location on the Kenai River where the winds are particularly strong, hence, the reference to the “Windy City.”

Lower Kenai River Great stretches of the Kenai River are open to the public for bank fishing, but sometimes the only way to tempt the uncooperative fish is to get out in the middle of the river with them.

Between the outlet of Skilak Lake and the mouth of the Kenai River there are a number of boat launches available for public use. During the busy season, the parking lots of these launches can easily fill, so be prepared to arrive early or put some patience in your thermos as you may have to wait for a space to become available.

Additionally, launches often require a fee for use. Make sure to pay all dues and correctly display parking information before leaving shore; otherwise a trip could end up costing a good deal more than anticipated.

Here’s a list of launches and the approximate river mile Alaska does not require of each launch to aid in determining which lauch is boaters to pass a safety best to use given the time of year and species you’re course but the river after.

Access to bank fishing along the Kenai River can challenging due to the large portions of the banks that are closed to fishing to protect riparian habitat. As a result, some fishing spots that are easily accessible from the bank can be over-crowded. Private properties line the river as well, so anglers should be sure to watch for posted “No Fishing” and “Closed to Fishing” signs. Anglers should check the Alaska Sport Fishing Regulations before throwing out that first line to ensure all of the rules are known and being followed. Don’t ruin a great Alaskan vacation with fines because the wrong fly or hook was used. Here are some of the public access points, and their amenities, on the Kenai River.

The Upper Kenai River Any serious discussion of fishing on the Kenai Peninsula must include Cooper Landing and the Russian River. The area is famous for the its closequarter “combat fishing,” due to the proximity of one angler to another as they stand in the river battling for the salmon. If you’re brave enough to enter the “combat zone” during June through July, be sure to wear proper protection.

Shatterproof eye protection and a hat are recommended to keep out-of-control flies and sinkers from injuring anglers, but long-sleeved shirts aren’t a bad idea either. Bears can be drawn to the filleted fish carcasses left behind, so anglers should remember to cut their carcasses into small pieces and throw the pieces into the fast flowing water. Never leave whole carcasses lying in the shallow, slow-moving water near shore.

The piscatorial pinnacle of this stretch of river is located along the Sterling Hwy between road mile markers 53 and 55 just south of the town of Cooper Landing. The U.S. Forest Service operates a ferry to shuttle anglers across the river at Milepost 55. The public access points along this stretch of the river are listed below:

In a separate bowl, combine peanut oil, soy sauce, vinegar, green onions, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, sesame oil, and salt. Whisk together and pour over the filets. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours.

Reserve the marinade for use as a glaze ingredient.

Prepare your outdoor grill by placing the grate 5 inches above the heat source and lightly adding oil to prevent the fish from sticking.

Grill the filets for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until the fish just flakes with a fork. Turn the filet over about halfway through the cooking process.

Add the reserved marinade and the white wine to a saucepan and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the grilled salmon when serving.

Suggestions for Out-of-the-Box Fish Preparation Ideas Courtesy of Linda Tannehill, University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service Health, Home and Family Development extension agent • Sear and bake: Take a serving sized piece of fish, put a rub on it, and sear both sides in a cast iron skillet and finish it off in a hot oven for about 10 minutes.

• Canning: If vacuum sealed packages of fish have broken — evidenced by ice crystals forming on the fish — it would be a good time to either cook the fish or can it as long as the fish is not freezer burned.

• Ceviche: Fish that has been frozen before can be used in ceviche, particularly halibut. The recipe can be a favorite among certain crowds. The dish is served and prepared cold and uses an acid like lemon or lime juice and onion and other ingredients to cook it — sort of. “I’m finding it more and more often when I am going to potlucks that people really like that,” she said.

• Salmon salad sandwiches: Leftovers from baked salmon fillets can be mixed into a salad with mayonnaise, various seasonings, pickle relish and can be served on bread, as a dip, or salad.

• Soups: Salmon can be mixed into chowder, or old halibut and salmon can take on new life in a seafood gumbo.

• Salmon patties: For salmon that has been canned or leftovers from fillets that have been baked, consider making salmon patties from the fish, eggs, crumbled crackers, bread crumbs. Sear patties on the griddle or in the fry pan.

• Poaching: Take the fillet cut into serving sizes, place it in boiling seasoned water with carrots, onions or any other vegetables.

• Beer battered (from the author): Cut into cubes, batter and fry in high-heat oil such as canola or peanut oil. Try ambers or porters for more flavor, lagers and ales for lighter batters.

• Fish sticks: Cut the fish into strips, bread it with crumbs or panko and cook in the oven.

• Nut crusted: With halibut some people will use nuts chopped very finely — like pecans or macadamias — as a crust. Cut the fillets in serving size pieces, dip in flour, then eggs, and pat the nuts on it before baking it in the oven.

WILD ALASKA SALMON IT’S NATURALLY BETTER The cold, clear waters off Alaska’s 34,000 mile coastline are the world’s greatest resource for natural, wild salmon. There, the five species of Alaska Salmon mature in an unmatched natural environment that provides them with superior flavor, color, and texture. This makes Wild Alaska Salmon the salmon of choice of foodservice operators throughout the world. Quick-frozen within hours of being harvested at the peak of its lifecycle, Alaska Salmon offers you these unique advantages:

A NATURAL ADVANTAGE

Alaska Salmon has a richer color, firmer texture, and better flavor than industrially-produced salmon. This natural superiority results from a life spent feeding on the sea’s natural foods while swimming against the strong currents of the cold, clean North Pacific.

A FROZEN ADVANTAGE

The Alaska seafood industry has perfected advanced quick-freezing technology which is unique in its ability to capture the fresh-caught flavor of the salmon while preserving the fish’s firm texture and rich color.

YEAR-ROUND AVAILABILITY

Frozen Wild Alaska Salmon is available year-round in portion-controlled sizes in a variety of packaging and product forms.

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

Wild Alaska Salmon is an excellent source of high quality protein, and contains predominantly healthy unsaturated fats.

Ninilchik

A Village with a Rich History and Flair for Fairs In summer, the fishing village of Ninilchik is a bustling community that serves as a base for many saltwater charter tours.

Halibut is king in Ninilchik, but the opening of the king salmon season around Memorial Day weekend also draws a crowd, as do the delicious razor clams that can be legally dug all year round from the shores of Cook Inlet. Throughout the season, the Ninilchik 40

Fairground hosts a series of rodeos, crowned every August by the Kenai Peninsula State Fair.

Until the mid-twentieth century, Ninilchik was home to an isolated dialect of Russian that incorporated words from the indigenous Dena’ina language.

While that language has since been replaced by English, Ninilchik’s history as a Russian settlement can still be seen in its historic

buildings from the late 19th century, including the Melania Curis Home, the Ninilchik Village Cache and the first Russian School House.

Driving through Ninilchik on the Sterling Highway, look for exceptional views of the Cook Inlet, which can be observed at your leisure from the highway’s many road-side pullouts. www.ExploreTheKenai.com

Seldovia A Stone’s Throw from Solitude in Kachemak Bay 15 miles southwest of the Homer Spit — or about an hour and half away by ferry — is Seldovia, a tiny community on the south shore of Kachemak Bay that promotes itself as “Alaska’s best kept secret.”

Transportation to Seldovia is by water taxi, airplane, or the Alaska Ferry System. Four-wheelers are as likely as automobiles to be seen on Seldovia’ Main Street, which is home to several small lodges, bed and breakfasts, shops, and restaurants. www.peninsulaclarion.com

Summer activities include berry-picking along the road to Jakolof Bay, salmon fishing in the slough or from Seldovia Bridge, and hiking the trails to the area’s numerous peaks.

In town, visitors can find guides for halibut fishing in Kachemak Bay or for ATV rides up a logging road to Red Mountain.

Seldovia’s normally laidback atmosphere disappears on the Fourth of July, when thousands of visitors flock to town for a full day of festivities, part of a town

Seward

File photo/Peninsula Clarion

The deep, ice-free waters of Resurrection Bay have made the port of Seward an important location for centuries.

First, for the Russian fur traders who explored the area in 1792, later for arriving gold rush prospectors for whom Seward was Mile 0 of the famous Iditarod Trail, and today for the fishers, cruise ship operators, kayakers, and marine researchers who use Seward as a base.

Seward still serves a gateway for visitors to Alaska, and for many it is also the gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park.

Within this park, the easy Exit Glacier trail and the more strenuous Harding Ice Field trail both provide glimpses of the glacial forces responsible for Seward’s furrowed coastline.

For a closer look at the Resurrection Bay’s wildlife, visit the Alaska 42

SeaLife Center. This non-profit organization maintains both a public aquarium and a coldwater research station in their Seward facility.

The center’s research activities includes holistic ecosystem studies, dedicated study of otters, seals, birds, and salmon, and rehabilitation and release for injured marine mammals.

Seward is also the site of the annual Mount Marathon race.

Runners descend on the town for the grueling footrace up its 3,022-foot peak each July 4, while tens of thousands of spectators come to cheer them on and enjoy other holiday festivities.

If your interest in marine life is specifically focused on salmon, visit the Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association’s fish weir at Bear Lake. This counting station monitors the number of coho

and sockeye that travel through Bear Creek between the salt water of Resurrection Bay and the fresh water of Bear Lake. Caution is needed when visiting the weir, since the name “Bear Creek” was not chosen for poetic effect.

Soldotna A River Runs Through it As it has grown, Soldotna has become a business hub for the Central Kenai Peninsula. Where sleepy gravel roads once ruled supreme, recent traffic led the town into needing multiple roundabouts. It is a town in flux.

The Kenai river also passes through town, carrying a traffic just as vital: at the Soldotna Visitors Center, located at the corner of the Sterling Highway and Kalifornsky Beach Road, the world record sport-caught king salmon is on display, and stairs leading to the river offer views of anglers casting along the banks. www.ExploreTheKenai.com

Fishing Fishing, either for personal consumption, the sport of it, or commercial use —is a way of life for area residents.

From about March to October each year, it’s easy to find someone standing at the banks of the Kenai River, trying to hook one of the four species of Pacific Salmon that return to the area — or a resident species like the voracious rainbow trout or ener-

getic Dolly Varden.

Anglers who snag themselves with lures can have the hooks removed at the Central Peninsula Hospital, 130 South Willow Street.

At any given time, the weather on the Kenai Peninsula can be mystifying for outsiders —especially during the summers when the sun never seems to go down.

The average daytime hours between summer and winter vary drastically. Be prepared to adjust your sleeping schedule. Visitors should also be prepared to handle almost any type of weather once they’ve left their lodging — particularly if a hike

into a remote area is planned. The vast Kenai National Wildlife Refuge is unforgiving when

the weather changes quickly. Varying temperatures, winds and levels of precipitation may make

Common sense Survival Visitors admiring the Kenai Peninsula’s natural environment might overlook the hazards that exist amid its beauty. Ranger Leah Eskelin of the Kenai Wildlife Refuge emphasizes the importance of being alert and informed while undertaking any outdoor activity in Alaska.

Cow Parsnip

Cow Parsnip, also known as pushki and eskimo celery, grows in stalks up to 9 feet tall. Its wide, dinner plate-sized leaves are serrated similarly to maple leaves, and its stalks are crowned by broad, umbrella-shaped clusters of small white flowers.

“It resembles more innocuous plants, such as Queen Anne’s Lace, that are found in the Lower 48,” said Eskelin. Like Queen Anne’s Lace, its stalks are covered in fine hairs. But many Alaskans know from hard experience that cow parsnip is far from innocuous.

It releases a photo-sensitive toxin that can be spread by touch. On sensitive skin, it can create red welts that develop into painful blisters when exposed to sunlight.

There is a fortunate side to the photosensitivity of the cow parsnip toxin. “Unlike poison ivy or poison oak, contact doesn’t immediately trigger a reaction,” says Eskelin. Rather, the oil produces its effects from exposure to sunlight. After contact with a cow parsnip stalk, Eskelin recommends

“Fortunately,” Eskelin covering the affected area until you can wash the tox- said, “the berries are bitter, in off with cool water and, and nobody is likely to eat that many.” if available, soap.

Devil’s Club

A more overtly dangerous plant is Devil’s Club, which bears a close resemblance to Cow Parsnip. Both have tall stalks with broad, maple-like leaves and similar white flowers, although the Devil’s Club bears its flowers in a conical rather than umbrella-shaped cluster. In summer months, these flowers give way to red berries.Devil’s club has one very distinctive feature that cow parsnip lacks: an armor of thin, brittle spines on its leaves and stalks. Although Devil’s Club carries no contact toxins, it poses a threat to hikers with its thorns, which can penetrate clothing and are prone to breaking off in the skin.

Baneberry

A more serious type of poison is found in baneberry. All parts of this small plant are toxic, from its roots to its small white flowers, but the most dangerous are its small white or red berries. Although these may look like attractive eating, toxins in the berries can produce stomach pain, headache, hallucinations, and potential fatality by cardiac arrest. Adults can experience poisoning after digesting six baneberries.

As few as two berries can be fatal to a child.

www.peninsulaclarion.com

Moose and Bears

Humans may have built roads, trails, and parking lots across the state, but in truth Alaska still belongs, as it always has, to moose and bears. “All of Alaska is bear territory,” said Eskelin.

“You have a responsibility to be alert whenever you’re outside.” Eskelin’s best advice for avoiding conflict with these large animals is to be aware of one’s surroundings. “If you’re hiking near a salmon stream in the summer, then you’re obviously at more risk than you’d be in a grocery store parking lot in the middle of town,” she said, about bears. In summer bears are likely to be found where ever fish are plentiful, and hikers on the shores of lakes and streams should be prepared for possible encounters at any time.

Eskelin said that bears are most dangerous when taken by surprise. She recommends calling out ‘Hey Bear!’ when passing through likely bear habitat.

“Bears aren’t looking for trouble,” said Eskelin. “If a bear is given a choice between leaving the area or having a potential confrontation, the bear will leave.

Give the bear the chance to make a good choice by letting it know that you’re there.”

Moose can potentially be

found in any wooded area, and hikers have a chance of encountering them even on casual day hikes. Eskelin points out that trails are used by animals other than humans, and that many trails on the Kenai Peninsula began as game trails. “Any wildlife is going to appreciate walking a path through the woods, rather than bushwhacking,” she said. Especially large animals like moose.

If you encounter a moose, the best thing you can do is step back and wait calmly for it to pass. Moose are unlikely to be aggressive unless they feel threatened, or that their young are threatened.

In the event a moose does charge, it is a good idea -unlike with bears --to run, since a moose will usually not charge a great distance.

Giardia

While keeping an eye out for Alaska’s macroscopic fauna, visitors should be just as aware of the microscopic — most especially of giardia, a protozoan that inhabits both still and running water. It exists in a egg-like cyst form until being swallowed and entering the intestinal track of an unfortunate animal.

“The only real way to avoid giardia is not to drink unfiltered water,” said Eskelin. For those who don’t have filters but are nonetheless determined to drink from a stream or lake, Eskelin added that “boiling for a minute is sufficient to kill giardia.”

The tunnel can be traveled by car or by train on the Alaska Railroad’s Glacier Discovery Route .

Although Whittier is a port for such cruise lines as Princess and Carnival,

visitors who come by land can also take day cruises to view the glaciers and rugged coastline of Prince William Sound. As its name suggests, the 26 Glaciers Cruise visits 26 glaciers around the Sound, with US Forest Service Rangers providing narration.

Major Marine Tours offers all-you-eat salmon on their tour of 10 glaciers. Lazy Otter Charters provides water taxi services and kayak rental. www.ExploreTheKenai.com

Bear Safety 101 In Alaska, bears — black and brown — can be anywhere, and residents and tourists alike should keep this in mind when taking to the outdoors. Whether walking on a trail near a busy road, or hiking in the wilderness, being prepared could mean the difference between life and death.

“The most important thing is to be aware of your surroundings,” said Jeff Selinger, area wildlife biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game in Soldotna.

Selinger said outdoor enthusiasts should look for potential signs of bears, such as paw prints, scat or congregations of scavenger birds, such as ravens, magpies and jays, which could be feeding on the same carcass as a bear.

Hikers also should look for posted signs about recent bear activity at trail heads and take time to ask others if they’ve seen a bear and warn people if they’ve seen any bear activity.

Hiking in groups is safer than hiking alone, but if going alone is the only option, make plenty of noise when traveling and when on a trail with tight switchbacks, approach corners from the outside of the trail for a better view.

It also never hurts to carry a can of bear spray, know how to use it and have it readily accessible.

“Things can happen in a hurry, and bear spray is useless if it’s in a backpack and out of reach. Pepper spray should be on a belt loop or in a holster,” Selinger said.

Another way to reduce the risk of having a negative interaction with bears is to www.peninsulaclarion.com

make sure bears don’t connect any links between humans and food.

Bears that learn this can not only get persistent in their demands, but also may become extremely dangerous when those demands aren’t met.

One way to not invite trouble is to minimize food and food odors while hiking or fishing. Rather than backpacks, daypacks and lunch sacks full of food, take food items that are easy to carry, wrapped or sealed to minimize odor, and quick to eat. Some examples include ziplocked sandwiches or packaged granola bars that can be carried in a pants pocket or fishing vest compartment.

“If cooking food is necessary, keep a clean camp,” Selinger said.

Don’t leave food or garbage out after the meal is done, and try to cook at least 100 yards away from where tents are set up.

On multiple-day trips food should be stored in bear-resistant containers at night or hung from trees when possible.

Anglers also should do their part by being responsible with their catches.

Keep your fish close on a stringer in the water, not out of the water or lying on the bank. Selinger said if approached by a bear, stop fishing — even if it means cutting the line — gather up belongings and fish quickly, get in a group and give the bears plenty of space to move through. And, never surrender food or fish to a bear. Instead, if a bear approaches — drawn to the fish already caught — be prepared to throw them into the river so the current will carry them downstream and away from the bear.

Take a hike

Photo by Rashah McChesney

The hiking and biking trails of the Kenai Peninsula offer access to many exquisite natural habitats, often with incredible wildlife viewing opportunities. As with any outdoor activity, remember to be prepared.

Always tell someone where you are going and when you are expecting to be back, or leave written information in your vehicle at the trailhead. Carry adequate emergency supplies whenever venturing into the woods. Also, bears are everywhere and this is important to keep in mind when on the trail or in camp. And don’t forget to pack out whatever you pack in.

Here are a few popular area hikes, ranging from easy to moderate to challenging:

= Difficult = Moderate = Easy

Nikiski Trail 1.5 miles long

Features: Fitness stations are located along the first loop of the trail for those who are serious about getting into and staying in shape. Nature enthusiasts can find plenty to look at along the trail. If solitude is what you seek, the trail leads to a gazebo and picnic area on the banks of Bailey Lake. In the winter, the trails are used for cross-country skiing, skijoring (horse-drawn or dog-drawn skiing), and

56

snowshoeing.

How to find it: Trailhead is adjacent to Nikiski High School off old Nikiski Beach Road in Nikiski.

Kenai National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center 2.5 miles long

Features: An excellent hike for the elderly or families with small children.

Interpretive signage, overlook decks above the lake, and a visitor center round out the experience.

How to find it: Trailhead is at the paved parking area of the Soldotna headquarters.

Tsalteshi Trails www.tsalteshi.org

Features: A great area for hikers and bikers who’d like to stay closer to town.

These trails are popular throughout the year with area residents and maintained by the Tsalteshi Trails Association. Not much in the way of scenic views, but the woodland setting with rolling hills can be very relaxing.

How to find it: Just south of Soldotna, behind Skyview High School. Also can be accessed via Kalifornsky Beach Road entrance, across the street from the Soldotna Sports Center.

2015 Peninsula Clarion Recreation and Travel Guide

Kenai River Trail 2.5 miles long

Features: Meandering through forest, meadows, wildflowers, and berry patches, this trail along the Kenai River affords great views, especially when overlooking the river from the canyon top. In late summer and fall bears are quite common on this trail.

How to find it: At Mile 58 of the Sterling High way, turn onto Skilak Loop Road.

The trail head is a half-mile in.

Captain Cook 2.5 miles long

Features: The beach trail offers great views of Cook Inlet and the Alaska Range.

Stay on the beach proper, as the tides are fast moving. The array of geological deposits in the form of many shapes and types of stones on this beach make it an interesting adventure. The beach is especially popular with agate hunters. Also enjoy the swimming beach at Stormy Lake or the lake’s overlook in the recreation area and the mouth of the Swanson River,

which is the end of the popular canoe trail system.

How to find it: 25 miles north of Kenai on the Kenai Spur Highway. The beach is just below the Discovery Picnic and Camp-

ground area. Access Stormy Lake from the turnouts along the highway just past Nikiski.

Johnson Pass 23 miles long

+

Features: This trail is a favorite for mountain bikers. Accessing from the north side, you will encounter beautiful alpine scenery. Lakes and streams can be found along the trail. Be sure to filter any water you pull from natural Alaska sources. This is usually a longer backpacking trip, but offers a peaceful break.

How to find it: Along the Seward Highway from Turnagain Pass, or just past the Sterling Highway cutoff, access the trail from the south side at the designated parking area.

Russian Lakes 21 miles long

Features: The trail to Lower Russian Lake follows alongside the Russian River, past the Russian River Falls where

sockeye salmon swim upstream to spawn in July and August.

Resurrection Pass 35.2 miles long with an elevation gain of 2,400 feet Features: A historic mining trail running from the Sterling Highway trailhead to Mile 4 of Resurrection Creek Road near the town of Hope. A second trailhead exists at Cooper Landing, allowing an easier 4.5 mile hike to Juneau Creek Falls. The complete trail is best hiked over several days and is noted as “a serious challenge for bikers.” A herd of caribou often roams the Resurrection drainage.

How to find it: Trailhead

www.peninsulaclarion.com

is at Mile 52.3 of the Sterling Highway near Cooper Landing at the Kenai River bridge.

Fuller Lakes Trail + 4.5 miles long

Features: Upper and Lower Fuller Lake offer one of the few waters on the Kenai Peninsula that contain Arctic Grayling.

This trail connects the two lakes, offering little elevation change, but a lot of mud. After reaching the higher elevations past Upper Fuller Lake, hikers are afforded extensive views of the Kenai Mountains. Look for Dall sheep on these ridges and beaver and waterfowl in the lakes themselves.

Skilak Lookout 2.5 miles long

+

Features: Several steep sections along this trail provide opportunities to work up a sweat with an elevation gain of 750 feet. The trail leads to an overlook offering spectacular views of Skilak Lake.

Alaska Troutfitters charges $900 for one person and $1,100 for two people. All the fishing equipment, waders and float tubes are provided. “(Fly-out fishing) is a great option when the river is high or when it’s early in the season,” Whalen said.

Sharing culture, expanding borders The Kenaitze Indian Tribe is a federally recognized tribe with nearly 1600 members spanning the Central Kenai Peninsula. Also known as the Kahtnuht’ana Dena’ina or the Dena’ina People of the Kenai River, they have lived on the Kenai Peninsula for thousands of years.

Now, the tribe manages healthcare, social services, justice, education and employment programs.

Most recently, the tribe debuted its new Dena’ina Photo by Rashah McChesney Wellness Center in Old Town and recycled materials built Kenai. The building is an into its structure. architectural marvel with a A good way to familiarhigh level of sustainability

While a guided tour affords the luxury of much of your necessary equipment being provided by your hosts, many local stores offer fishing equipment. You can rent or purchase most equipment, from tackle to hip waders to children’s fishing poles.

Some popular shopping locations for gear include Three Bears or WalMart in Kenai, Soldotna Trustworthy Hardware and Fishing, Sportsman’s Warehouse, Ken’s Alaskan Tackle or Fred Meyers in Soldotna, Ulmers Drug and Hardware in Homer.

6. Where can I go bank fishing?

The Kenai Peninsula offers abundant areas to go bank fishing without the assistance of a fishing guide. The Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center has a map available of areas to go bank fishing. Here is a quick list of areas that are available within a one-hour radius of the Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center: Kenai River Area: Cunningham Park Rotary Park Ciechanski State Recreation Site Morgan’s Landing Pipeline State Recreation Site Izaak Walton State Recreation Site Slikok Creek State Recreation Site Bings Landing State Recreation Site Centennial Park Campground Funny River State Recreation Site Soldotna Visitor Information Center Swiftwater Campground Kenai Keys State Recreation Site Soldotna Creek Park Additional Areas: Crooked Creek Campground Anchor River Deep Creek Quartz Creek Ninilchik Ptarmigan Creek

7. When is the best time of year to go sportfishing?

The best sport fishing is available May through September. See the fish run chart on page 32

8. Where is the best place to take my kids fishing?

The Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center recommends taking children to Cunningham Park and Centennial Park Campground or Soldotna Creek Park for bank fishing. The fishing is easy to access and you don’t have to travel far to get to the bank or back to your car when necessary.

9. What kind of clothing do I need to have?

When fishing in Alaska you should always be prepared. The water is swift and extremely cold.

Here are a few things you should bring along: First-aid kit Old clothes (your clothing will inevitably get ruined — or smell like fish you can often find old flannel shirts and jeans at a second-hand store) hip waders, rain gear, hat, sunglasses, jacket, lightweight gloves, pants, heavy socks, bug repellent. Be sure to pack a lot of layers.

10. What about bugs?

If you are bank fishing, you may need to use some bug repellent. You can purchase some at just about any local store. If you are on the river, you will not need to worry too much about the bugs. Remember that DEET, a chemical found in some insect repellents, will dissolve fishing line and other synthetic items.
