TRECK (Transition from Recreation to Education Camp for Kids)
Join the SPRD staff for end of the summer fun in the sun! Wind down the summer and get geared up for school with two final days of hikes, sports, crafts, games and team building challenges and more with the help from Seward Ranger District for the US Forest Service. Through a unique partnership with the USDA Forest Service and the City of Seward’s Parks and Recreation Department, we anticipate on getting 45 children “into the woods” for a Chugach Discovery Day. The day will be spent exploring sights and environmental points of interest along the scenic Seward Highway as we travel to our destination of the Chugach National Forest’s Begich Boggs Visitor and Interpretive Center. We will also spend a day at the Tern Lake Use site where youth will have an opportunity to learn more about the Chugach National Forest and associated resources. In addition, youth will have the opportunity to learn about the life cycle of salmon and will also get to participate in a fun “Chugach Challenge” educational awareness exercise.
Meet at the Sports & Rec gym by 9 am or you will miss the bus.

On August 2, 2008 the Alaska SeaLife Center will host its 10th annual “Wildlife Rescue Run,” a five-kilometer race that helps raise money for the Center’s rehabilitation department. The event attracts approximately 150 participants walking or running the course, along with families whose children participate in an accompanying “Junior Rescue Rally.”
The Alaska SeaLife Center is the only permanent facility in Alaska licensed to rescue and rehabilitate marine mammals and birds. The rehabilitation program depends on financial support from the community in its continuing efforts to treat these animals, and all sponsorships and entry fees will benefit Wildlife Rescue. For an entry form, go to www.alaskasealife.org
After Los Angeles comedian Steve Mittleman entertained a packed house last Thursday night, Seward Playhouse will welcome another performer from California this Friday. John Craigie, a folk singer from San Francisco, recently added Seward as the twelfth stop on his Alaskan summer tour. “John played in Seward two years ago,” said Seward Playhouse owner Jennifer Swander, “and he’s excited to be coming back.”
Since its opening on July fourth weekend, Seward Playhouse has seen a variety of talent take the stage. Even the types of music have been quite diverse, which was evident during the Open Mic/Jam Session on Friday. Local jazz musician and instructor, Mark Teckenbrock, invited his friend Meghan Holden, founder of Anchortown Circus, to play clarinet with him. A few playhouse patrons commented that the place turned into a little jazz club for twenty minutes. “We will definitely schedule a jazz show soon,” Swander said, in response to the requests.
And more local talent continues to emerge. After an audition this weekend, His Grace, a talented group of young men from Resurrection Bay Baptist Church, has booked upcoming performances. “Tourists came in and sat down during the audition Sunday afternoon, so we decided to actually do an open house show the same time next Sunday,” mentioned Swander. Also there as the piano accompanist for His Grace was Stacie Werner. She commented, “I’m inspired by a young group of guys who want to have fun serving the Lord with their talents.”
Upcoming events at the playhouse include:
Friday, July 18, John Craigie, 8pm;
Saturday, July 19, Open Mic/Jam Session – all musicians welcome, 8pm;
Sunday, July 20, His Grace, 2-4pm open house.
Seward Playhouse is located at 215 #B Fourth Avenue, downtown Seward. It is a smoke-free environment and does not serve alcohol. The box office and concession stand open 30 minutes before each show. For information about viewing or booking shows, please call (907) 224-ARTS or email sewardplayhouse@yahoo.com.

July 24, 2008 at Legends of the Mountain 6 - 8 p.m.
The City of Seward, the Seward Ranger District of Chugach National Forest and Kenai Fjords National Park are resuming the planning process for the Mary Lowell Center, a multi-agency administrative, visitor and conference facility for downtown Seward. This Center will provide one stop shopping for permitting and information for public lands in the area of Seward and Resurrection Bay.
The Portico Group, the architecture and engineering firm for the project will be in Seward for an open house on Thursday, July 24 from 6 – 8 p.m. at Legends of the Mountain. They will be seeking public feedback on revised schematic design alternatives. This design phase is being repeated due to the following changes affecting the project:
• The USFS revised its plans for participating in the Mary Lowell Center due to downsizing operations in Seward. While still a partner in the project, the amount of office space for USFS personnel in the Center was dramatically reduced.
• On February 11, 2008 the Seward City Council passed a resolution expressing a preference for a design that does not require building across Washington Street reversing direction given in the City’s 2003 resolution.
• In addition, the Mary Lowell Center partners wanted to consider a design that could be built in phases since it is uncertain whether the entire amount required to complete the project will be funded in a single appropriation.
The revised schematic design will be based on the two alternatives selected through the mini-Value Analysis in May 2008. One is a single three-story building on the current site of the Legends Building and the other is a two story Visitor Center/Conference Facility on the Legends site and a two story administrative building on the Harbor Dinner Club/Mai property site on the east side of 5th Avenue.
For more information on this project contact Kirsten Vesel, City of Seward Assistant City Manager (907-224-4074), or Jeff Mow, Kenai Fjords National Park Superintendent (907-224-2118).
It’s finally looking like summer on the Harding Icefield Trail! The lower reaches of the trail are snow-free and the meltwater is drying up. Wildflowers are blooming and the birds are singing. This week several
hikers were treated to the sights and frolics of a mother black bear with a single cub of the year. Today the duo was seen several times as they made their way along the Harding Icefield Trail from the Top of the Cliffs down to the middle section of the trail. Other black bears have also been
observed in the avalanche paths above the trail.
Beyond the Top of the Cliffs Overlook (at 2.25 miles) the trail is covered with snow (except for some areas where it has melted out and is muddy). The snow-covered portion of the trail is marked with orange flags. Please resist the temptation to follow other, seemingly more direct routes and follow the orange flags that mark the trail. As the snow melts, staying on the trail will help prevent fragile alpine vegetation from being trampled.
Parks & Rec will host Jason Stouder from American Ramp Company Wednesday, July 16 at 2:30 pm at Seward’s Evan Casey Skate Park off Ballaine Boulevard. Stouder wants to meet with local skate boarders to gain input on what are their requests and dreams for skate park elements. Skaters are encouraged to rally friends and attend the short meeting.
Attached is the skate-park-sketch-1.pdf which is a an outline of the park with dimensions to sketch out ideas.

Los Angeles headliner comedian, Steve Mittleman, who has made appearances on The Tonight Show and David Letterman, will entertain an audience at Seward Playhouse this Thursday night.“I’m excited to have such a big name comic come to Seward,” said Seward Playhouse owner, Jennifer Swander. Seward’s new community playhouse experienced a successful grand opening weekend. On July 4th evening, Nellie and Eric from the Moose Pass jug band Big Nellie & the Empty Bottle Boys, took the stage for two shows. And a group of music enthusiasts showed their appreciation on the dance floor. After the 7:30 show, local business woman, Cindy Clark, from The Flyin’ Skein, commented, “Seward really needs a place like this.” And the youth of the community would agree, because by 10:30 the volume was turned up, and Palmer heavy metal band The Suicide Nation rocked the house. When asked why she opened the playhouse, Swander, who recently moved to Seward from California, responded, “I wanted to create a place for the community, as well as visitors, to enjoy performing arts.” A goal of the playhouse is to provide a venue for musicians, actors, dancers, comedians, storytellers, poets, and the like, to showcase their talents. “It’s great to be able to book a huge act like Steve Mittleman one night, and then open the stage for local musicians to jam the next night,” she added.
Swander, a high school English teacher, wants to encourage more young people to get involved. The July 5th jam session gave Seward High School students Dakota Plush, Jacob Stauble and Tyler Haddow an opportunity to jam with veteran musicians like Jerry Washburn and Kurt Sutton. “It was an amazing mentoring opportunity, and that’s the type of thing I like to see. In fact, the students wanted to know when they could do this again. So we have scheduled another open mic/jam session for this Friday night at 8:30.”
In addition to Thursday’s comic show and Friday’s open mic/jam session, Tuesday, July 8th, New York singer/song-writer Liana Gabel will play folk and jazz music for two shows, 7:30 and 9:00. And just added for 1st Friday’s Art Walk from 6-8pm, Kurt Sutton and Gene Dunham will entertain with Alaska Roots music.
Seward Playhouse is located at 215 #B Fourth Avenue, downtown Seward. It is a smoke-free environment and does not serve alcohol. The box office and concession stand open 30 minutes before each show. For information about viewing or booking shows, please call (907) 224-ARTS.
Advance tickets for comedian Steve Mittleman can be purchased for $25.50 at Seward Playhouse, Monday-Wednesday, 5:30-9:30pm, and at Artic Glow (across the street), Monday-Thursday, 10am-7pm. Tickets will be $32.50 at the door.
