Anchorage House Phase I I by Tanya Salmon, 10th Grade, ~ g i y l b

Anchorage House Phase II (a.k.a Voyage to Excellence) is a program that the LPSD and the Chugach School District created to help high schoolers with transition from school to life. I attended this 8-day program from March 12-20 with 8 other students: four from our district and three others from the Chugach School Dis- trict.

While at the Phase, we had to keep the house we were staying at clean. We were given chores that we had to finish everyday at a certain time before doing other activities. During the day, we were given assessments on career development, permd/social health, and service standards, which we had to com- plete by the end of the week. At the Phase, everybody had to do ]ob hdows.

I was able to job shadow the chi(d develop- ment area at the Providence Mqitd, take a tour of the Anchorage Daily News and job shadow a graphic designer (ske even let me make an ad for the n e w ) , tarred Aly-

Technology Class 1 01 BY AlexAr

The plan stemmed from an idea. A simple chat with Mike Roberts (a teacher in Newhalen who specializes in technology, and a former teacher in lgiugig). In reality -an educational dream come true.

This year lgiugig School has reached its tech- nological prime. Our school received a flashy new iMac computer to complete our video col- lection composed of a state of the art tri-pod, a fairly new video camera, new portable micro- phones, DVDICD's, and the right software. One problem .... with a classroom full of Gateway PC programmed students and staff, where were we supposed to learn how to use this equipment? On one of my trips to Newhalen I encountered Mr. Roberts and talked about technology. His solution: host a week of training in Newhalen.

Somewhere between teaching science class, watching his boys in basketball practice, and working with students for the Newhalen Cultural Heritage Project (NCHP), Mr. Roberts managed to write up a proposal for the district to review and approve.

About a month later, AlexAnna and Tanya Salmon, and Ida Nelson, accompanied by Pete Hauschka, were in Newhalen School taking Technology 101 with Mr. Roberts. We roomed at the Newhalen House from February 24-27. Dur- ing the school day we learned about the ad- vantage of a networking system, we were intro-

2002-2003 Wi By Jonathan Salmon, 8th Grade,

As you can see the winter throughout Alaska was m q time staying below zero and when it did finally start t o get El Nino and the moving of the je t stream has attributed the wind blew from a very different direction, from the s temperature into the 40's. If it wasn't from the south i that usually blows in bit ter cold wind from the lake was wa-m to cover the water the water also rose this winter. I n the ally brings cold air from the north moved and pushed co ten. I t is getting cold now because a very large high presstn and with clear skies you get cold, still air. For a couple o f started to push the high around our lake area; winds bl degrees out.

With warm weather like this all of Alaska was impacted ria& to take an alternative route. Instead of the traditional Anch- begin the race in Anchorage on the first Saturday in March t h over on Monday. All of the ponds and creeks had to be detoured )e

the end of the race was when the high moved in and got colder. TkP ice over the water and creeks and so they still had t o be avoided fa while it was so cold. Robert Sorlie is the winner of the Iditarod thim lem surfaced when there was not enough snow for the I ron Dog raca to be canceled because the warm weather melted all the snow and t snow machines t o drive safely and driving on the bare along with scarring the land.

Along with the ponds not being frozen the creeks and rive not frozen so they continuously filled our lake. High east winds c normal water level led t o the lake being higher than previous years. high water now, later on in the year the river may be shallow for if tain runoff in the spring there won't be much water flowing into t might be lower than before this summer.

The lake never froze over this year enough for winter travel asl lake is pretty much all covered with ice as it was in Ja During Slavi time everybody had to fly which meant t places as compared to previous years. That means the carnivals and going than in previous years.

How will the winter be next year? How will t h this? Questions like these will be haunting all of Alaska until we do

Frostbite by ~e-y s;dmoa, 5th Grade, Igiugig school

Why should y m BrPss warmly in cold weather? Because you W t want to get frost- bite. Frostbite is frozen * tissue usually skin deep, but sometimes deeger. Frostbite appears as white or pale patches on skin that has not been protected in cdd weaka. Frostbite must be treated caremy to permanent tissue damage.

Children are at greater risk for frostbite than adults are bec-wtlse kids lose the heat from their skin much more quiddy. Most adults can get frostbite in hqer&am of ten below zero. However, a few minutes of unprotected exposure to temperatures below 10 degrees Fahrenheit can give kids frostbite.

To prevent Mi you should wear

Close-up at the Nations' Capitol BY

MARCH 7-1 6, WASHINGTON DC On Friday, March 7th at 9:45 AM an unexpected

travel fax came to lgiugig School, surprisingly informing that I was to leave lgiugig for Washington DC at 10:15 AM. You could imagine the panic to follow, as I had no prior notice that Friday was the departure day for Close-Up. Nonetheless, I still made my flight, a little discombobulated.

Senior Brian Janti from Newhalen School and chap- erone Tripp Oakley from Chignik Lake School were also chosen to attend Close-up, a week-long closer look at our national government. This action-packed week in- volved hundreds of kids from around the U.S. At our hotel, most kids were from Mossachusetts, Arizona, Con- necticut, Indiana, Alabama, Texas, Oregon, lowo, Chi- cago, and us from Alaska. We were divided into ten groups and five buses and assigned Pl's, or Personal Instructors. Everyday breakfast was served at 7:30 and we hit the road by 8:30 AM. We toured all of the 'Moll' or the monuments ond memorials, explored most of the Smithwnian Museums, sow the White House, had a Capitol Hill day where we toured the Capitol building and met with our Senators and Representatives, en- dured seminars on different topics, and ate meals at exciting places like the ESPN Zone. Everyday each group had workshops led by Pl's, and even bus transfer time meant i n s t r u c t i o n / w ~ time. W e continued sightseeing and overan 'seizing the day' until 10:30 at night where dog-tired sivdenis heoded to their rooms for the night. I even visited a Muslim mosque -wearing a scarf and without my shoes of ccurse.

On the last doy we met wilk our chaperones (who by the way were experiencing a teacher's schedule and were treated VERY WHL) ad hod o chance to explore whatever we wanted. Briol, Tripp and I, along with some newfound friends, vis*ed ihe depressing Holocaust Museum, revisited same d ihe grWsonian museums (it

AlexAnno Salmon, 1 1. Grade, lgiugig School

would take a gead week to explore all of them thor- oughly), and weat to Gewge+own for shopping. That was an adventwe!

Two highlights of tkc week k&Led Capitol Hill Day and watching a h h r i a a maedy Sheer Madness. Brian, Tripp mid I m& .4k b lk Murkowski, and Senator Ted Stevem, ad h W a t i v e Don Young. The visit to Y q ' r dfios ros very fun. He was the only congres- wlro isel; h fm Iis orerly busy schedule, to hold a long deided vi* the kids from Alaska. He answered d d ff Q-, ,ldd

some stories, and had c u pidue ad pYed within 5 minutes for us to fr- T W type st e & d h i s unusual because our conweasen Lae QAdOlg schedules and hundreds ef bids frer LB- pas gram visit their offices each year. We rene k&y. k absolute highlight of that day wah a - hearing on HB 39, the bit1 to open h e A L s b u Wildlife Refuge -a hot topic in Nosh Led* Secretary of the Department of the IROerSr Gd h- ton's argument in favor of the bill, but w didn't hove enough time to listen to the Gwi4dm )(ll*ld argument opposing the bill. I also sow S m - First Lady Hillary Clinton while watching the SaaCs h session.

Last year I attended Close-Up in Juneau to etpLw the state government. I experienced the opportunOy d a lifetime while in DC at an important time in history, dm week before the war with Iraq. I highly r e c o d high school students fill out an application for this pro- gram. It is the best way to make new friends, and have a good time while learning how our government oper- ates. Classes are intense but the outcome is priceless! I appreciate LPSD accepting my application and giving me this opportunity.

By Jonathan Salmon, 8th Grade, Igiugig School 1 N3546T are the numbers of an old

1973 Taylorcraft that once belonged to my dad, Don, Randy, and not to long ago Brian. I t all started with Randy who owned the Taylor- craft after he bought it from a man in Bethel. He learned how t o fly in it with instruction by Edwin Peterson from Levelock. Randy had the plane fo r many years but wanted a different one. So, he sold his t-craft to Don Perrin who used to be stationed here a t Igiugig when he was with Fish and Game. Don learned how to fly by getting some pointers from Randy and practicing on the runway. He got his pilots license later. He stripped the plane down to the skeleton and put it back together again with new fabric, paint, and a rebuilt engine. My dad was also stationed here, employed by Fish and Game a t the same time as Don. He wanted to have the freedom to go wherever he wanted whenever he pleased but my dad needed a plane and a pilot's license. After learning to fly a t Merrill Field, and getting his license, he bought the plane from Don in 1996. Just last year my dad decided that he needed

a larger plane. Hs f a d a in good condition in Coaaclr in; the old t-craft to Ckw M, *w a ting 1200 hours on it. Par t of tlre u h d - ing the plane to Brian was that Ma a that he would take good care of it. Br im wanted the plane for a cheap transport k- tween Anchorage and Igiugig and a simple plane to get used to flying again after he lost his license in a plane crash.

Just last week, however, there were extremely high winds in Anchorage that de- stroyed about 31 planes. Sadly, among the many planes was the old t-craft. I t wasn't tied down well and didn't have the wing covers put on, so it was flipped down the Merrill Field parking lot. The wings are torn o f f and the frame bent with a tattered body. A pic- ture of it was in the Anchorage Daily Newspa- per the next day. Many people called my dad to offer condolences for they thought he was the only owner o f N3546T; some never even knew that he sold it.

Shaun and Corey had a fun after- noon playing with trucks on a warm Spring afternoon.
