Heidi Zemach photo By Rick Smeriglio for SCN—The Alaska State Council on the Arts and the Alaska Humanities Forum plus the Arts and Culture Foundation in conjunction with the Governor's Office have named Seward's Marc Swanson the 2016 Alaska Studies Educator of the Year.The Governor's Award recognizes individuals who "enrich the culture of the state"according to the on-line announcement.In particular,Swanson earned recognition for developing curricula for the Kenai Mountains-Turnagain Arm National Heritage Area.His ongoing work includes a video series,a field trip guide,'a resource guide,school curricula and much more,mostly focused on the people,history,and culture of the area between Turnagain Arm and Resurrection Bay. Swanson first learned of the award by telephone just before leaving for vacation in Montana earlier this December. He said that at first,he could only express confusion and disbelief.Then he recognized the caller as the daughter of Yule Kilcher.The late Yule Kilcher served as a delegate to Alaska's constitutional convention and became the subject of one of Swanson's documentary videos. . - 540 shareebout the award,Swanson said, "First,it's really nice to get the award...very humbling.But truly the real award f being able to tell these stories.What an honor and what a responsibility it is." 636 wanson also wished to acknowledge all the volunteer editors,videographers,narrators,musicians,institutions, G• d others who enabled his work.He said that they owned the award as much as he did. 2 "You know who you are,"said Swanson. . Advertisement • Swanson explained that about four years ago,KMTANHA asked him to develop a high-school curriculum in Alaska studies for the eastern Kenai Peninsula.He said that he"could bite his teeth into"the project because he had liberty to build an inquiry-based program of study.Students would examine primary documents such as census data and old photographs.They would go on field trips to places like abandoned mining camps and cemeteries to examine tangible things.The work has built on itself and has led to an award-winning video series This Is Now and That Was Then narrated by Moose Pass and Seward high-school students and aired on Alaska Public Television. When asked if the mission of KMTANHA to tell the story of theland and its people motivated or inspired him, Swanson replied, "...in a way it scares the dickens out of me.I've been asked to tell real peoples'stories...what a humbling and daunting task!I've got to compress these marvelous stories from incredible people in a way that is useful for educators and interesting to students...all while trying to maintain accuracy and honoring individuals, their stories,and their descendants.Yeah...a bit intimidating." According to the Alaska Humanities Forum,the Alaska Studies Educator of the Year Award"...is awarded to an instructor of Alaska history and culture studies,Alaska history or Alaska studies who has demonstrated exceptional abilities in teaching this subject.Honorees will have fostered a spirit of inquiry and civic participation through the teaching of Alaska's history and culture."Swanson plans to attend the awards ceremony and reception on January 28,2016 in Juneau. S Swanson's work so far includes an inquiry-based curriculum for high school,a field trip guide,the This is Now And That Was Then video series,an elementary teacher's guide for using the video series,and a resource guide for educators.The public can access all these materials at kmtacorridor.org. Not one to loaf after achievement,Swanson says that on the same day that he learned of his award, University of Alaska Fairbanks hired him,and Seward local Marvin Tapsfield,to develop a science outreach program for the Seward Marine Center.The National Heritage Area has contracted with Swanson to train classroom teachers to use his curricula.He plans a busy new year. , 4 ¢r �3` m+: �' ` it r f EH :` THIS IS NOW"ter ..44 }_, 4 'J f , }" THATt T 'ENxi ,r t� tia. -, 540(� }} • '-STORIES THAT WEAV E THROUGH`THE��r`"` ' 1 , 7 { j* 3 rx a c` # r c�R ENAI S f rrCt� "4A:.t, Shares€.t i•cs,t=,11. _, , .f.'�oL.:'. .� ' hi ,,`( x {'„, ?x`veyp ,, . f •'fth T. . . p 638 , Y,1 r � 'a If }G. c 1 ,,,,V.„,,::, ;.., ✓ Yom -. j �z 2 3i h'_ ti �J .

The applicable areas I believe this nominee has contributed in for the community of Seward are: Contribution towards education of citizens regarding local historic preservation and community history. Research and documentation of the history of the community of Seward. Curatorial,historical records,photo collections,or museum contributions which contribute to the community's historic heritage. Organization of historical records for easy reference for others to gain a better understanding of Seward's historic heritage. Oral history contributions towards preserving Seward's historic heritage. - Progress towards having a climate controlled centralized historic collection in Seward. Any other contributions related to historic preservation. " As the City of Seward employee,staff of the Library and Museum Curator,Heather McClain was required to work with many different entities,relating directlyto the business of the Seward Community Library-Museum.Upon start of her position,the Library-Museum experienced a period of transition of Director's as well as settling intoa new building. Some of those different groups locally were,the City of Seward Administration,City Council,Seward Historic Preservation Commission, Resurrection Bay Historic Society,and Seward Community Library Association. Distributed throughout the state were the many Alaska Museums and Historic Society's,the Alaska Historic Preservation Office,Alaska Historic Society and Alaska State Library. The list is fairly long,yet Heather kept track of who was who,as she assisted all whom had inquiries about Seward's museum,historical records and collection,and Seward's historical areas. If she could not answer the question,she knew who to call. She was an invaluable resource the community could tap into whenever they needed additional direction and/or advice. Her professional networks were extensive and always available. Working with multiple volunteers,her curatorial and exhibit experienceallowed the inexperienced volunteer to become part of the exhibit group cleaning,moving,photographing,examine and writing descriptions of multiple item's in the museum's priceless collection as exhibits were changed out. For the experienced volunteer,she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in the searchable database. As was in the duties of her position,in addition to advising of proper care and handling,documentation of countless objects was tracked and added to the museum collection. An example of historical contributions both in collections and oral is seen when,in late 2015,Heather worked with a former community member who had a collection of slides he had taken in the late 1940's and 1950's. Heather arranged a meeting that allowed the gentlemen to meet with longtime residents so together they could study the photos,agree on identification and add them to the collection. As the Seward Community Library-Museum building has different climate controlled,heat and humidity factors involved within the museum spaces,it is an absolute requirement to be on top of the mechanical systems. Overseeing of these systems can be very stressful for one who is unaware of the damage that can happen immediately or to someone just not paying attention. The knowledge of historical objects, and what can go wrong mechanically takes a lover of historical artifacts and a professional with instant action ability,this was found in Heather McClain. Working with the Resurrection Bay Historic Society Collections and Exhibits Committee's she became a valuable member of those committees in the contribution and organization of the historical records and objects to preserve Seward's historic heritage. • A contribution towards Seward's historic preservation was shown when wood from the flooring at the Lechner House was designed to be used in museum spaces. Plans were drawn up by Heather including the bolts,nails and screws which resulted in a bench,table and coat hanger being made from her designs,plans,and estimated costs.:A formal plan was submitted to the RBHS Exhibit Board Members and approved. As a miscellaneous contribution related to historic preservation and a duty required,of Heather's position as Library-Museum Staff(Museum Curator)member and City of Seward employee of the Seward Community Library-Museum, Heather held the esteemed position of providing clerical service to the Seward Historical Preservation Commission. She brought to this job an in-depth knowledge of Robert's Rules of Order,and a professional attitude. 'Her historical knowledge and preservation awareness was a valued assist to the Commission,therefore assisting the commission's enhancement ' and awareness of historical preservation for the community of the City of Seward.

"Al" Chamberlin was born in Berlin,Wisconsin July 2, 1865. He came to Skagway in 1897,at first working in the freighting business,but the lure of gold soon took him to Dawson and then Nome. In 1908 he mushed to Seward,his team led by his famous lead dog Blossom,named for Point Blossom on Kotzebue Sound,where he was born.Blossom was black with white patches and a whiteface and breast. Over the years Chamberlin used his dog team to carry construction materials for the Alaska Central and Alaska Northern Railways and for the Alaska Engineering Commission.during the construction of the Alaska Railroad.He carried supplies and equipment to various mines on the Kenai,for example,in 1911,in five days he carried three tons of supplies by dog team to the Kenai Mining and Milling Company on Cooper Creek.He also carried mail and yassengers to Hope, Sunrise,Kenai and lditarod.lie bid on,but lost to Colonel Revell,the contact to carry mail between Seward and Iditarod in 1914.Chamberlin was a working musher,but he did enter one race,the first Seward sled dog race in February 1913,coming in second to Al Taylor. - He had many interests besides dog mushing.From his arrival in Alaska he was interested in the agricultural possibilities of the area. His garden in Seward was a showplace and he experimented with many varieties of vegetables.and fruit frees. He also raised several breeds of chickens and rabbits His home in Seward was located on what is now called Chamberlin Hill,overlooking the Lagoon. Chamberlin was a licensed big game guide.During President Harding's visit to Seward in 1923,he took Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover fishing and they returned with 50 pounds of sea bass and silver salmon. lie had an extensive political career.He served as a Seward City Councilman from 1913-17,Seward Mayor in 1919 and 1920,a member of the Territorial`Senate from 1921- 25,tax collector in Bristol Bay in 1923 and U.S.Commissioner in McCarthy from 1926- 36. - Chamberlin died May 27. 1948. One story,perhaps apocryphal,that is told about Chamberlin and Blossom,in various forms and with no specific date,was that during a trip from Seward to Iditarod, carrying mail,merchandise and two teachers as passengers,the team was overtaken, near Moose Pass,by a train going north.Blossom lead the team in;a race against the train and lost.Chamberlin comforted Blossom,saying they had to face the fact the railroad was here to stay and things would never be the same again.It is said that Chamberlin saw the event as a race between the past and the future and as a sign that Alaska,for good or bad,was changing. • 22 Minuets of the Special Meeting of the 3 J Seward City Council, held April 2, 1919.

Historically, Ft. 2S Raymond played a major part in Alaskan history, Seward's role in `Protecting The Gateway into Alaska'. Even before the United States officially entered World War II, Seward and Fort Raymond played an important role in protecting the transshipment of war materials into the Interior and ultimately on to the Soviet Union to help stem the Nazi invasion of that country. Hence the Commission should have a role in determining the historic importance and disposition of the Parks and Recreation warehouse. 2C� v Up w ti J / j m 2 • / 0 / —. 22 Q / / / FORT RAYMOND UBD. / /,, i 1 I SEA LION AVE. • , REPa•i os /r..... ,-LAT NO.-3 Al ' REPEAT NO. 1 %' N NQQ 4 / ,$ // / \ O ®,� / • c - ' b' '/ Q / • / CD 4f. / / / w , V N,NQ, �.... // rC Al g I !'n.

Attn: Shona Pierce • PO Box 6898 Joint Base E.lmendorf-Richardson,AK 99506-0898 RE: Local evaluation of potential adverse impacts to historic resources pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act from Lowell Creek diversion tunnel project. Dear Ms. Pierce, A copy of your letter to Judith Bittner, dated 04 November 2015, regarding the Lowell Creek diversion tunnel project,was forwarded to the Seward Historic Preservation Commission (Commission)by the Seward City Clerk. It is our understanding that the engineering design for this project is still on-going so comments on the potential impacts of the project on historical or archeological resources are still appropriate. Information received from the City of Seward administration indicates that the project is envisioned in two phases. First, emergency repairs which need to be expedited; followed by major renovation or replacement of the diversion tunnel. The Commission concurs with your determination that the emergency repairs should have minimal adverse effect on the historic character of the Lowell Creek diversion facilities under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 [36 CFR800.3(a)(1)]. Where there maybe minor impacts the Commission agreed with the Seward City Council and administration that the need to address public health and safety issues should be given priority. The major renovation phase of the Lowell Creek diversion project causes the Commission greater concern. First,to correct two inaccuracies in your letter,Table 1 on page four of your letter(from the AHRS card) implies that the"diversion tunnel"was the only part of the original project considered for listing. This is inconsistent with you first statement under `Assessment of Effect' on page four. To clarify, the original nomination On the National Register of Historic Places attests that the listing was complete on 23 November 1977. More importantly, that the • nomination and listing were for the"Flood Control.Project on Lowell Creek at Seward Alaska" consisting of three parts: a)the new diversion dam,b)the tunnel, and c)the outflow works. This makes highly unlikely that major renovation work will not adversely affect the historic value of the site. However,the Commission concurs with USACE,the Seward City Council and administration that the health and public safety issues regarding the project should take precedent. Therefore we are recommending mitigation of the adverse effects on this historic property by adding interpretive materials at the outflow end of the project. These could either be printed signage or a digital "app". It should inform the public of nature and need for the original project, and the project's completion enhanced development and safety within the City of Se%vard. The Commission's second concern relates to the low probability of.encountering historically significant archeological artifacts during the course of the project. We differ with your implication that archeological deposits must be"intact"to be historically significant. Of course that would be preferable but considering the importance of early uses of Resurrection Bay and the shallowness of documentation,any datable finds would be significant. Russian letters, de Laguna's description of Chugach Prehistory(1956), and Alaska Native oral history(http://www.chugachmiut.orgjtribes/qutekcak_html ) report up to"three Native villages existing in the immediate vicinity of Seward. The village of Kangiaq was located at Day Harbor and belonged to a local group known as the Kaniaymiut or"Bay People."A second village, called the Qutatluq in Alutiiq,was located at or near the present town of Seward while a third village, located somewhere in the same vicinity,was called Kani lik or"Two Boys." In the Alutiiq language the site of Seward is known as Qutekcak, or "big beach." The southwest corner of the Seward town site was site of the Russian Fort Voskresenskii and ship yard where the frigate Phoenix was constructed in 1794. Unfortunately the exact location of these historically important facilities is unknown. Later Frank and Mary Lowell, an Alutiiq from Port Graham,homesteaded the area which Mary sold to the Ballaine brothers in 1903. None of this early history has been well documented. So any archeological artifacts from those periods would be significant. The Commission agrees that the probability of work on the project encountering such artifacts is not sufficiently high to warrant a survey prior to initiating the project. However,the Commission does believe that such findings are of sufficient potential importance that the project work should include a mitigation plan to stop work and document any such finds should they occur. Pursuant to its duty to support enforcement of the Alaska Historic Preservation Act,AS 41.35 (Seward City Code 2.30.425(a)(6)) The Seward Historic Preservation Commission has reviewed . the letter from the US Army Corps of Engineers describing its determination of no adverse effects to historic resources from the Lowell Creek flood control project as described in the letter. The Commission makes the following recommendations as enumerated in the discussion above: 1. The potential impact on the historic importance of the Lowell Creek flood control project is not sufficient to justify a full survey under NI-IPA, Section 106. Furthermore the importance of the project for the public safety of Seward residents outweighs the delays required for such a survey. 2. The Commission recommends the following actionsto mitigate the potential adverse effects of the project: :a) The cost of public educational materials be added to the project. These could be either interpretive signage or a digital app. (b) A plan to stop work and document any unexpected archeological resources in . the unexpected event of their encounter during the project. The Commission has reviewed this letter and approved it on May 18, 2016 by a vote of unanimous.

Hilsinger Design& Engineering Services ADOT&PF PO Box 196900 Anchorage, AK 99519-6900 RE: Local evaluation of potential adverse impacts to historic resources pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act from Seward Roads Improvement projects (CFHWY000004/0001551 Dear Mr. Hilsinger, Thank you for your Ietter dated 15 March 20 16 concerning the Seward Road Improvement projects (CFHWY000004/0001551) and the finding of no historic properties adversely. The Seward Historic Preservation Commission(Commission)has met and reviewed your findings. The Commission appreciates your due diligence in evaluating the actual structures in the project areas,and concurs with your finding that they are not eligible for protecting under the National Historic Preservation Act(AHPA). However the Commission is concerned by your dismissal of potential importance under National Register of Historic Places, Criterion D: Information value;Properties significant for their ability to yield important information about prehistory or history. Several aspects of the proposed projects infringe upon areas with potential to elucidate aspects of the Seward area's early history or that of World War II. With the exception of those done by the National Park Service(NPS), systematic archeological surveys for archeological resources, such as those recommended in the context of NPHA, Section 106,have been almost non-existent in the Seward area. The Commission's second concern relates to the low probability of encountering historically significant archeological artifacts during the course of the project. Russian letters, de Laguna's • description of Chugach Prehistory(1956), and Alaska Native oral history (.http://www.chugachmiut.org/tribes/qutekcak.html )report up to"three Native villages existing in the immediate vicinity of Seward. The village of Kangiaq was located at Day Harbor and belonged to a local group known as the Kaniaymiut or "Bay People." A second village, called the • Qutatluq in Alutiiq, was located at or near the present town of Seward while a third village, located somewhere in the same vicinity, was called Kani lik or "Two Boys." In the Alutiiq language the site of Seward is known as Qutekcak,or"big beach." The southwest corner of the Seward town site was site of the Russian Fort Voskresenskii and 40 shipyard where the frigate Phoenix was constructed in 1794. Unfortunately the exact location of these historically important facilities is unknown. Later Frank and Mary Lowell, an Alutiiq from Port-Graham, homesteaded the area which Mary sold to the Ballaine brothers in 1903. None of this early history has been well documented. So any archeological artifacts from those periods would.be significant. - The Fort Raymond/Forest Acres portion of the project area was central to World War H deployments in the Resurrection Bay area. Much of the tract has been stripped of World War 1I era structures so that any recoverable archeological history remains subsurface. The Commission's concern is based in part on the facts that both prior NPS surveys, and the project improving the infrastructure under Third Avenue all unearthed artifacts worthy of documentation and preservation. The Commission agrees that the probability of work on the project encountering such artifacts is not sufficiently high to warrant a survey prior to initiating the project. However, the Commission does believe that such findings are of sufficient potential importance that the project work should include a mitigation plan to stop work and document any such finds should they occur. Pursuant to its duty To support enforcement of the Alaska Historic Preservation Act, AS 41.35 (Seward City Code 2.30.425(a)(6))The Seward Historic Preservation Commission has reviewed the letter from the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities describing its determination of no adverse effects to historic structures-from the Seward Road improvement projects as described in the attachments to this letter. The Commission makes the following recommendations as enumerated in the discussion above: 1. The Commission disagrees with the blanket finding of no adverse effect to historic resources; based on the possible discovery of artifacts of potential historic importance 2. The Commission recommends a plan be developed and implemented to stop work and document any unexpected archeological resources in the a unexpected event of their encounter during the project. 3. The Commission recommends the following actions to mitigate the potential adverse • effects of the project: 0 (a) The cost of public educational materials be added to the project.
