We walked on to the ship - four P.A.R.K.S. committee members with clip boards, forms, pens, poster boards, and butterflies. Would the crew of the USCG Alex Haley help P.A.R.K.S. build the Seward Community Playground? We walked into the galley and starting setting up. LCDR Anthony Williams and LCDR Kevin Jones walked in, shook hands, smiled and sat down. We were obviously ready to make a presentation for support and LCDR Williams smiled and said, “Your website already sold us. We’re excited to help out!” It was like the scene from the movie, “Jerry Maguire” when Renee Zellwegger’s character says, “You had me at hello.”

OK, it might not have been like that for the others but it was for me. We needed help and they were excited to be asked. USCG Alex Haley crew will be helping with site preparation, materials, construction, and clean up. P.A.R.K.S. is very appreciative for this help and encourage the children and community to thank them too.

The athletes are moving with drive and determination, forced to follow one another one by one up the trail.  The 3,022 foot Mt. Marathon race doesn’t usually include 5 year olds but in this situation, they are climbing all over the mountain, competing with the other racers.  What’s going on?  It’s the Mt. Marathon Climbing Wall located at the Seward Community Playground.  Designed by local artist, Dot Bardarson, the climbing wall depicts the beauty of Mt. Marathon, the determination of the racers, and the challenge that they’ve accepted – much like the community taking on the Seward Community Playground project. 

Members of the Seward Mural Society and other artists didn’t stop there.  They also painted the Sea Life Cubbies, designed by Abby Wentworth and Sandy Stolle.  Up the road, Tom and Sharon Irvin and Jeannie Shirk were helping glaze and fire the ceramic tiles painted by many of you, young and old alike.  Several tiles have footprints on them.  One depicts the northern lights, another has dragonflies, and yet another is an ocean scene.  Diverse personalities with a common theme – that the Seward Community Playground reflects the personality of Seward and its citizens.

 These artists have been working for months with the Design Committee, planning the projects, art, and colors that will make the Seward Community Playground a jewel for the city:  mosaic dolphins splashing in the water, salmon frolicking among the fences, and a historical photo mural depicting Seward’s children in another era.  Will you be able to pick out a young Margaret Anderson?

These art projects are the first fruits of our labor and they are nothing but inspiring!  They inspire motivation to help build the playground.  They inspire excitement to see the finished product.  Our children should be commended for having the creativity to design this wonderland! 

So please enjoy these pictures.  Show them to your kids.  Let them inspire you to sign up for a shift, loan us your tools or just drop off a plate of cookies!  Please visit www.sewardplayground.com to volunteer for a shift, print the tools list, or obtain more information.

Help Roll out the Red Carpet in Seward

Seward will be hosting 2 U.S. Navy Destroyers from May 2-4.   So far, the American Legion and Alaska SeaLife Center have offered activities for the sailors.  However, with three days in town, we know they’ll want to get out and about.

If you are interested in offering something special to crewmembers, send us the details, including price, and we’ll be sure that word gets to the visiting ships.  Items can include activities and tours, a home-cooked meal, guiding them on the local trails, or just spending an evening hanging out. 

For more information, contact the Chamber at 224-8051.

Seward is Their Kind of Town 

Kicking off with an Armed Services Day picnic on May 17th, Seward has the potential to be the military R&R hot spot.  The Seward Military Resort and the Air Force Camp are the only military recreation sites in the State, and the Military Combat Fishing Tournament on May 22nd is one-of-a-kind! 

We’d like to promote Seward on Alaska’s military installations as the place to be in May - especially the “week” from Armed Services Day through Memorial Day.  These 10 days include Seward Harbor Opening Weekend (SHOW), the Exit Glacier Race and Torch Run, Kid’s Fishing Day, the new Mural dedication, and many other community events.

If you have an event going on during these 10 days, or would like to publish a special military discount - let us know so we can put it on a special “military week” web page. 

For more information, contact the chamber by email or call 224-8051.

This morning the city council voted to give the electrical department a new truck a vehicle that was not authorized in the 2008 budget.

The Seward City Council did authorize $205,000 in expenditures from the motor pool in the 2008 budget. The 2008 Capital Improvement Plan for the Motor Pool identified the following vehicles for replacement or purchase, so expect to see these additional unauthorized expenditures to come to Council in the near future:

Police: replace 2 vehicles – total for two $72,210 (one authorized)

TYC replace 1984 van $30,000

Public works – dump truck $80,000

Public works – replace flat bed $30,000

Water – Replace Truck $35,000

Electric – Excavator $60,000

Electric – truck for new field engineer position

(during the budget session the City Council was told, when asked, that there was one new position in the budget, a ½ time position in the library)

Electric – Utility Box vehicle $50,000 – Just authorized April 29, 2008 $56,500) unauthorized and over budget by $6,500

Shop- replacement pickup - $40,000

Public works – Sander / Plow Truck - $185,000 (authorized)

Electric mechanic repair truck - $70,000

Total expenditures: $685,210

The administration can take issue with the council but ultimately the council is held accountable by the public. I applaud the council for not simply rubber stamping administration’s requests.

At issue:

Administration stated they did not maintain the truck because they were going to get a new one.

The truck was not an authorized expenditure in the 2008 budget. Yes, it was on the capital improvement plan for 2008 but the council only authorized $205,000 in actual expenditures for the Motor Pool.

The administration did not get any local estimates for repair work on the existing truck. It was NEVER even taken to a mechanic for an actual estimate. Councilmember Amberg brought this point up at the meeting, she did the homework the Administration did not do, but her questions were not satisfactorily answered or even debated. The City Council had every right to question all aspects of the purchase of the truck.

“Penny wise and pound foolish” was the descriptor of those who opposed the purchase of the truck. Council should not be demeaned, humiliated or badgered into making important decisions. I find it interesting that administration feels that it can give unsatisfactory justification, not follow policy about getting bids nor seek local vendors. I find it interesting that the entity “the City” must win at all costs and that it resents the council questioning policies and expenditures. I find it interesting that Mayor Corbridge can cut off and rule out of order anyone who doesn’t agree with him, but let other council members and administration, who agree with his position, ramble with impunity. Abject loyalty to the entity “the City” comes at the expense of the public.

It has nothing to do with winning or losing but everything to do with accountability.

It appears that Mayor Corbridge in his rush to continue the meeting on April 28 did not (in an afterhour’s motion), allow a majority vote to continue the meeting to 8am April 29, 2008. This willful failure to follow the procedures of the Seward City Code and Robert’s Rules makes the morning continuation of the meeting illegal and all actions taken at the meeting void.

Robert’s Rules, the Seward City Code, and the Alaska Statutes are not to be used at random, because only by the proper use of the rules are the rights of the people including the minority protected. Mr. Corbridge willfully and flagrantly disobeyed the rule of law that protects our citizens from the abuses of government.

The Alaska Open Meetings Act suggests several remedies when a governmental body like the Seward City Council violates their own laws and the laws of the State of Alaska. Some of these remedies are:

· Reconsideration of the issues of the illegal meeting at another properly convened meeting.

· Recall of an elected official. An elected official’s violation of the Alaska Open Meetings Act is grounds for recall due to failure to perform the prescribed duties of office.

· Injunctive relief the Supreme Court ha ruled that injunctions may be used to prevent future violations of the ACT.

· Since a person who brings suit under the Open Meetings Act is acting as a public interest litigant then they are likely to be awarded Attorneys’ fees.

The goal of the penalties of violating the Open Meetings Act is not to put an undue burden on governmental agencies but is to prevent violations of the Act, and thus to protect the rights of the citizens. The Seward City Council should void the illegal morning meeting and with proper notice at a legal meeting reconsider the actions taken at this improperly announced meeting.

A reminder from your local fire department.

With warmer weather and longer days, nature is undergoing a fresh start and so are homeowners who are ready to clean up the debris that has been accumulating in the basements, storage sheds, garages, and yards over the winter. While a good “spring cleaning” can be beneficial, it can also involve a variety of health and safety hazards. The Division of Fire and Life Safety offers these tips to help avoid some of the dangers:

* If you plan to burn leaves and brush, first contact your local fire department to check on current rules and regulations for burning in your area.
* If you do burn leaves and brush, make sure you have water available to control the fire. Continue to monitor the fire until it is fully out.
* Never mix cleaning chemicals without reading the warning labels first.
* Vacuum the dust and dirt from your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms as well as testing them.

Only a functioning smoke and CO alarm can protect you.

Practice Fire Safety Everyday,

Burny

Do you remember the time you were at a party; the music was right on, the food fantastic, the company lovely.  Everything was going splendidly.  And then, someone pulls out an ancient Egyptian comic book and everyone starts reading along and laughing.  Everyone…except you.

It’s okay.  Not all of us can read hieroglyphs.  Well, okay so maybe there’s just that one guy you knew from High School.  You know - “The Scarab”.  He could.  And didn’t you always envy his cool Egyptian dance moves and sweet arm bracelets?  Nobody could rock out to The Bangles like he could.  But I digress.

Hieroglyphs.  If you’re like me, thinking up hypothetical embarassing situations and the ways you can avoid them can take up a lot of your free time.  But hey, that’s what the library’s here for.  Making people awesome one book at a time.  Speaking of books, it’s about time it made it’s appearance.

This week’s unusual book is Hieroglyphs Without Mystery: An Introduction to Ancient Egyptian Writing

Stop by the Library and check out Hieroglyphs Without Mystery. 

Who knows?  Maybe next time, you’ll be the life of the party. 

   (Sounds of hilarious laughter) Ah gee…you gotta love rock jokes.

Seward Community Raises Fund to Fight Poverty

April 27, 2008, Seward, Alaska

Seward residents walk in the rain to end hunger. Click photo to see more pictures of the walk.

A diverse crowd of local residents, carrying signs and balloons, braved the drizzle on Sunday afternoon to walk along the waterfront to help end hunger and poverty. The fourth annual Seward CROP Walk involved nearly sixty walkers, ranging in age from infants to octogenarians, representing at least eleven community groups. Walkers, who began collecting pledges over a month earlier, assembled at the Alaska Sea Life Center under cloudy skies and walked along the scenic path to the ball parks and back again.

The two mile trek is representative of the difficult journey that some must make on a regular basis to find sufficient food and water in order to survive. The slogan “We Walk Because They Walk” demonstrates solidarity with others who are impoverished and hungry. Over 2000 CROP Walks are held in communities throughout the United States, but the Seward Walk is only one of two walks scheduled in Alaska. A walk will be held in Wasilla on June 14.

The first CROP Walks were organized in the late 1960s. Since then over five million walkers have raised millions of dollars for programs fighting poverty in over 80 countries, including here in the United States. One quarter of funds raised in walks stays in the local community. The Seward Walk proceeds will support the He Will Provide food bank, providing food to the hungry in our community. The Seward Walk contributions are still being collected and a final tally of results will not be known for a few weeks. However, the total amount raised is estimated to be about $5000.

Organizers from Seward Memorial United Methodist Church recruited walk recruiters from churches and other community organizations, making the event a truly community-based endeavor. CROP is promoted nationally by Church World Service, an ecumenical humanitarian agency. The acronym CROP stands for Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty. Plans are already underway to make next year’s walk even more successful and wide-reaching. A collection of photographs from the event may be found at the Methodist Church’s website by clicking on this link:

We are pleased to announce that the Seward Community Library has been selected to receive a We the People “Created Equal” Bookshelf Award from the National Endowment for the Humanities. 

The bookshelf, a collection of 17 classic books on the theme of “Created Equal”, was awarded to 3,000 libraries across the country for 2008.  In addition to the focus on equality, a resource kit on Abraham Lincoln is included to help stimulate discussion as we approach Lincoln’s Bicentennial in 2009. 

With this wonderful addition to the Library collection, we hope to strengthen the teaching, study, and understanding of American history and culture.

The Library will also be sponsoring a “We the People” float in the Fourth of July Parade this year.  If anyone is interested in taking part, creating costumes, or throwing confetti, please stop by.

The Seward City Council on a vote of 4 - 3 passed an increase to the sales tax cap from the current $500 limit to a new $1,000 cap. There was a certain misconception in the public that charters, other recreational and hospitality industries, were bypassing paying taxes by charging customers by the boat or by the trip or by the week. As of April of ‘07 the borough changed the rules so that all of these industries must charge per person per day. The increase in the sales tax cap has no impact on these industries due to this change in borough tax computation.

So you may ask who the tax increase impacts. It impacts people who pay rent over $500, which is almost every rental in the city. It impacts people who have high oil bill costs and I would say that is a majority of the citizens of Seward. It impacts businesses who must compute the tax cap on borough sales up to $500 and then compute the Seward tax cap up to $1000. Many businesses have said that finding a software that does all the multiple calculations a near impossibility. The impact, in my opinion, is local.

The meeting after the council passed the tax cap increase, the city administration placed a brand new truck, not to exceed $63,000 on the agenda. This truck was not budgeted in the 2008 budget by the city council. Administration stated that it had been budgeted in the 2006 budget but never purchased. The Electrical Department head stated his workload was too heavy in ‘06 and he did not get around to it. He also stated that the old truck had not been maintained because they were going to purchase a new truck. Documentation was presented to the council for repairs to the existing truck for $20,000 and the department head stated the new truck cost went down to $55,000. So where am I going with this? I would like to ask the city council to not authorize repairs to the truck or purchase of a new truck (new truck again on upcoming council agenda for April 28). I would ask them to wait until John Bird does a complete audit of city vehicles, including but not limited to best usage policies, maintenance policy and maintenance schedules and maintenance records. Good stewardship of the public’s money is an expectation of good government.

So if you would like to sign the tax roll back petition, please call me at 224-7172 and I will refer you to the nearest circulator, or stop me on the street. I have it in my purse.

The free Septic Education Workshop will be in Seward on April 26^th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the K.M. Rae building. Fred Sorensen, UAF/CES Water Quality Coordinator, will be discussing the potential impact on groundwater by septic systems, how they function, proper maintenance and what to do in a flood. Bill Schnabel, UAF engineering professor, will talk about the alternative wastewater systems that are available if a conventional system is not working for the homeowner.

If you are interested in attending, please call 907-786-6341 or 907-224-3340 or e-mail lisa.wedin@uaf.edu . If you would like more information on septic systems call Fred Sorensen at 907-786-6311.

April 22, 2008 Happy Earth Day!

Seward, Alaska Sporadic Bird Report

Sunrise 6:18 am, sunset 9:35 pm, length of day 15 hours, 17 minutes; tomorrow will be 5 minutes and 22 seconds longer.

Weather: Wow! Spring is finally here as the temperature pushed into the mid-50s! The north wind has lost its bite and the lingering snow is fast disappearing. The lagoon is totally open. Time to replace the seed feeders with hummingbird feeders. Note: no need for red food coloring that may harm them. Add one cup white sugar (NOT honey) to 4 cups boiling water and let cool. Be sure to keep the feeders clean.

Today: First of Season GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE with five CANADA GEESE in the partially open pond at the salt marsh-with-an-airport-in-it. Twenty-one Greater White-fronted Geese flew over at about 4:30 pm heading north. One TRUMPETER SWAN lingers; three were seen last night. NORTHERN PINTAILS and MALLARDS are now the most common dabbling duck, with growing numbers of GADWALL, AMERICAN WIGEON, and the tiny GREEN-WING TEAL. The late afternoon sun lit up the head of the male teal, turning the usual green color to a rich purple stripe against his chocolate brown head. A statuesque GREAT BLUE HERON fished stealthily in the small but productive pond adjacent to abandoned industrial-sized trash.

There’s no doubt that life jackets save lives. In the United States an average of nine people a day die as a result of drowning - deaths that could have been prevented. But a life jacket that does not fit properly can put a person at risk of drowning. Proper fit is imperative for safety on the water. The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary has a few tips to follow when choosing a life jacket.

• Choose only a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) approved life jacket, and the correct size for the weight of the person. The USCG stamp of approval, size, whether it is for a child or an adult, and appropriate weight of the wearer should be listed inside the jacket. A person’s chest size and stomach size may come into play when selecting the right life jacket.
• Use the “touchdown” test to see if your life jacket fits properly; Lift your arms above your head as if calling a touchdown. The chest portion of the jacket should not touch your chin when you look left, right or over your shoulder. If the jacket passes this test, it most likely fits. If possible try it out in shallow water. The life jacket should not ride up on your body. However, ride-up may happen if your stomach is larger than your chest.
• Weigh a child and measure for chest size under the arms before shopping for a child’s life jacket. A properly fitting jacket should be snug but not tight.
• Check for proper fit of a life jacket on a child. Wearing the jacket, the child should stand normally with arms at his or her sides. Grab the jacket at the shoulders and firmly lift up. The jacket does not fit if it moves more than three inches up and down the child’s body during the test.
• Ensure a life jacket for an infant or child has a crotch strap to help keep the life jacket on, an oversized float collar to help keep the head out of the water and a grab loop for easier water rescue. All straps should be intact and fastened at all times.

Swim-a-Thon was a great success this year for Seward Tsunami Swim Club. 36 swimmers took to the pool last Thursday afternoon for a two hour swim time fund raiser for the club.

How many lengths can a STSC swimmer do in two hours? The maximum amount of lengths allowed to be swum by the USA Swimming rules for Swim-a-Thon is 200. This year STSC had 18 swimmers do the full 200 lengths. 200 lengths equal 5,000 meters which equal 3.10 miles per swimmer.

A total of lengths swum by STSC swimmers were 5,613 lengths or 140,325 meters or 87.19 miles! How far is that?! Running to mile 87 of the Seward Highway (around Girdwood) or swimming to Fox Island round trip three times!

Sponsors pledged over $10,000 to our swimmers this year.

Seward Tsunami Swim Club would like to thank our wonderful community members and family members for your support of our program! Without you, we would not be able to have our swimmers in the pool learning the swim strokes or competing statewide.

Thank you.
