How to Protect Yourself & Others

KNOW HOW IT

SPREADS

There is currently no vaccine to prevent

coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

The best way to prevent illness is to

avoid being exposed to this virus.

The virus is thought to spread mainly

from person-to-person.

• Between people who are in close

contact with one another (within

about 6 feet).

• Through respiratory droplets

produced when an infected person

coughs, sneezes or talks.

• These droplets can land in the

mouths or noses of people who are

nearby or possibly be inhaled into

the lungs.

• Some recent studies have

suggested that COVID-19 may

be spread by people who are not

showing symptoms.

WASH YOUR

HANDS OFTEN

• Wash your hands often with soap

and water for at least 20 seconds

especially after you have been in a

public place, or after blowing your

nose, coughing, or sneezing.

• If soap and water are not readily

available, use a hand sanitizer

that contains at least 60% alcohol.

Cover all surfaces of your hands

and rub them together until they

feel dry.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose,

and mouth with unwashed hands.

AVOID CLOSE

CONTACT

• Avoid close contact with people

who are sick

• Put distance between yourself and

other people.

• Remember that some people

without symptoms may be able

to spread virus.

• Keeping distance from others is

especially important for people

who are at higher risk of getting

very sick.

with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.

• Throw used tissues in the trash.

• Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, clean

your hands with a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

cloth face covering, remember to always cover your

mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze

or use the inside of your elbow.

• Throw used tissues in the trash.

• Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for

at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily

available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that

contains at least 60% alcohol.

DISINFECT

• Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces

daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches,

countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets,

faucets, and sinks.

• If surfaces are dirty, clean them. Use detergent or soap

and water prior to disinfection.

• Then, use a household disinfectant. Most common EPAregistered

household disinfectantsexternal icon will work.

WATCH

FOR

SYMPTOMS

to severe illness.

Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms or

combinations of symptoms may have COVID-19:

• Cough • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing • Or at least two of these symptoms: • Fever • Chills

• Repeated shaking with chills • Muscle pain • Headache • Sore throat • New loss of taste or smell

Alaska Center

for the Performing Arts

A staple in the Anchorage arts

scene since 1998, the Alaska Center

for the Performing Arts (or, Center

of the PAC, as it is locally known) is

the place to go in Anchorage when

you want to catch a play, show,

musical or concert. Conveniently

located downtown and with three

theaters that vary in size, the

center draws everyone from local

favorites to Broadway shows like

“Peter Pan” and Grammy Award

winners like Béla Fleck and David

Sanborn.

Recent visitors said that this is a

great place to see a show, as the

acoustics are fantastic. Others

recommended that tourists visiting

in the summer should see “AurorA:

Alaska’s Great Northern Lights,” as

it’s a great way to see the Northern

Lights during the offseason. It is

shown daily on the hour from 9 a.m.

to 9 p.m. (it’s about 40 minutes in

length) between late May and

the beginning of September, and

tickets are available at the door.

Public parking is available around

the center (prices vary by lot) and

the center is also on several People

Mover bus routes – just check the

schedule before you go, as most

buses only run once or twice an

hour. For more information, consult

the center’s website.

Alaska Native

Heritage Center

What makes Alaska truly unique

are the cultures that thrive

there. For example, you can

learn all about the Last Frontier’s

indigenous people at the Alaska

Native Heritage Center, which is

devoted to preserving customs

that have been around much

longer than the cities that now

call Alaska home. There are three

main parts: A gallery that displays

native artifacts, a performance

hall where members of native

communities tell stories, dance

and show off their athletic abilities

and a grouping of seven traditional

dwellings that represent the

lifestyles of some of the tribes.

Recent visitors agree that the

Alaska Native Heritage Center

offers a superb educational

experience, but to get the most

out of your visit, take some time

to chat with the representives,

deemed the best way to hear

personal stories and learn about

different communities.

The Alaska Native Heritage

Center sits northeast of

downtown Anchorage along the

Glenn Highway and welcomes

visitors daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

between May and September. The

center is closed during the winter

except for Saturdays from 10 a.m.

to 5 p.m. and during monthly

special events. Admission is pricy

-- $25 for adults and $17 for

children -- but previous visitors say

that the cost is worth it. For more

information, visit the center’s

website.

Anchorage Market & Festival

A local favorite since it first opened in 1992,

the Anchorage Market and Festival started out

as a Saturday-only market with just two dozen

vendors, but it quickly grew to host more than

300 vendors and now also operates on Sundays.

Situated on 7 acres in downtown Anchorage, the

market is the place to shop for clothes, food,

crafts and more while enjoying live entertainment

and snacking on locally grown eats. There’s

also a kids market suitable for ages 8 to 16 that

sells goods crafted by other youngsters.

Recent visitors spoke highly of the quality and

quantity of unique wares, gifts and local food

available at the market, while others warned that

finding parking can be a challenge. Plan ahead

and take public transportation: People Mover

route Nos. 13 and 15 drop passengers off a couple

blocks from the market, which is located at

the intersection of 3rd and E Street. The market

is open from mid-May to September on Saturdays

from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sundays from

10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit the

market’s website.

Potter Marsh

At the southern end of the Anchorage Coastal

Wildlife Refuge is Potter Marsh, a wooden boardwalk

that winds through a half-mile of marshlands.

This is a popular destination for birders,

as Canada geese, northern pintails, canvasback

ducks, red-necked phalaropes, horned and rednecked

grebes and northern harriers come to this

wetland from April to September. Summertime

visitors can also glimpse gulls, Arctic terns, shorebirds

and trumpeter swans. Keep an eye out for

eagles and their nests, usually located in the cottonwoods

near the base of the bluff.

Moose can also be spotted year-round. If you’re

interested in seeing salmon spawn, walk about

halfway down the boardwalk to Rabbit Creek,

where every May to August spawning salmon can

be seen on their swim up the creek. Recent visitors

appreciate that the boardwalk is wheelchair

accessible and recommend bringing a camera

and a jacket, as it can be cool and windy even in

the summer.

Potter Marsh Is located about 5 miles south of

the Alaska Zoo and about 11 miles southeast of

Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport,

and is accessible via the New Seward Highway.

of Fish and Game website.

Brief History of Anchorage, Alaska

Anchorage, a year-round

seaport at the head of Cook

Inlet, is the largest city in Alaska.

Its location has made it an

important transshipment point

for intercontinental air traffic,

and the lack of a comprehensive

highway system led to its having

an unusual concentration of

private aircraft as well.

Captain James Cook in 1778.

Russian explorers had already

been to Alaska and Russian

activity continued until the

Alaska Purchase of 1867. The

Alaska Trading Company

subsequently established

dozens of stations along Cook

Inlet.

In 1915, President Woodrow

Wilson authorized the

construction of the Alaska

Railroad. Anchorage was

founded in the same year

as the headquarters of the

railroad and was incorporated

in 1920. Completion of

the Alaska Railroad led to

the first visit to Alaska by a

U.S. President. Warren G.

Harding came to Alaska to drive

the ceremonial golden spike on

July 15, 1923. He died in San

Francisco on the return trip.

When United States Secretary

of State William H. Seward

concluded the deal that bought

the U.S. 580,000 sq. mi of icy

terrain from Russia, many in

the government scoffed at

“Seward’s Folly” and “Seward’s

Lockbox”, but both Seward

and President Andrew Johnson

thought the land could one day

be organized as a state. Early

on, a viable trade developed

in furs and oil, and the First

Organic Act established a

formal government in the land,

but neither Johnson nor his

successors seemed in much of

a hurry to organize it. Until they

had to.

On this day, August 24, in 1912,

with the passage of the Second

Organic Act, Alaska became a

U.S. territory. A criminal code

was passed, along with a tax

on liquor, which heightened

calls for Alaskan congressional

representation. Combined

with several scandals involving

business interests and the

Gold Rush-fueled increase in

population served to sway the

minds in Congress.

Alaska before the act resembled

a “colonial economy” in the

words of an Atlantic magazine

story from around that time.

Private and international

interests were exploiting the

region’s resources, and the

U.S. was just standing by.

A scandal developed over

illegal distribution of federal

mines to outside interests, and

convinced President McKinley

that to bring order to the place

the U.S. needed to make it a

territory.


Glaciers near Anchorage

Alaska glaciers are everywhere. Alaska has the nation’s greatest concentration of glaciers;

approximately 100,000 of them cover nearly 30,000 square miles. The glaciers

near Anchorage are among the most accessible.

Glaciers have shaped the Anchorage area for thousands of years. Visiting one can be

the trip of a lifetime, but that doesn’t mean it is difficult. By boat and plane, on foot,

behind a team of dogs and even sitting at a first-class restaurant with views of seven

nearby glaciers – Anchorage is your window on Alaska’s best glaciers.

Spend the day exploring the countless glaciers of Prince William Sound. Or, float at

the face of Portage Glacier just minutes after leaving the dock. Listen for the cracking

sound that builds to a rumbling crescendo as ice shears off the face of the glacier

and crashes into the water below. Glacier cruises in this part of Alaska range from one

hour to a full day.

Watching a glacier calve from the deck of a boat is just one way to get up close with

these cobalt giants. Paddle a kayak through glacial lakes and navigate the tiny bergs

that dot the surface. Follow hiking trails to the toe of a glacier in one of Southcentral’s

state or national parks; whether camping out overnight or just stretching the legs for

a few minutes, arctic wonders await.

Strap on crampons, grab an ice axe and go vertical; experienced climbing guides can

help even novices climb Alaska’s glaciers. For a truly high-altitude glacier visit, book

a helicopter or bush plane flight – several flightseeing companies offer glacier landings

inside Denali National Park – and have a summer snowball fight in the shadow of

North America’s tallest mountain. Or chopper out to untouched ice fields for snowfilled

dog mushing fun under the midnight sun.

Oscar Anderson

House Museum

When it was first founded, the city of Anchorage

was just a jumble of tents. That is, until

Oscar Anderson came along. The city butcher

built the first permanent home in 1915, and

although it’s not in its original location, this

house offers an interesting glimpse of life in

young Anchorage. Guided tours offer insight

into how Anderson (a Swedish immigrant) and

his family lived, while original artifacts give this

historic building a genuine lived-in feel. Recent

visitors praised the guided tours, which

they said make them feel like they’ve stepped

back in time.

The Oscar Anderson House Museum sits

on the northern corner of Elderberry Park in

downtown Anchorage, boasting great views

of the waterfront. You can tour from noon to 4

p.m. on Tuesdays through Sundays during the

summer. Admission is $10 per adult and $3 per

child 12 and younger.

Glacier Bay National Park

Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve is in the Alaska panhandle west

of Juneau. President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the area around Glacier

Bay a national monument under the Antiquities Act on February

25, 1925. Subsequent to an expansion of the monument by President

Jimmy Carter in 1978, the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation

Act (ANILCA) enlarged the national monument by 523,000 acres (2116.5

km2) on December 2, 1980 and in the process created Glacier Bay National

Park and Preserve, with 57,000 additional acres (230.7 km2) of

public land designated as national preserve to the immediate northwest

of the park in order to protect a portion of the Alsek River and related

fish and wildlife habitats while allowing sport hunting.

Glacier Bay became part of a binational UNESCO World Heritage Site

in 1979, was inscribed as a Biosphere Reserve in 1986 and in 1994 undertook

an obligation to work with Hoonah and Yakutat Tlingit Native

American organizations in the management of the protected area. In total

the park and preserve cover 5,130 square miles (13,287 km2). Most

of Glacier Bay is designated wilderness area which covers 4,164 square

miles (10,784 km2)

Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve occupies the northernmost section

of the southeastern Alaska coastline, between the Gulf of Alaska and

Canada. The Canada–US border approaches to within 15 miles (24 km)

Chugach State Park

Located about 13 miles south of downtown,

this sprawling state park is one of the largest

in the country, clocking in at nearly half a million

acres of hiking trails, ski areas, rock-climbing

spots and wildlife habitat. Chugach is the

perfect place to experience untouched Alaska

without a long drive. And according to recent

visitors, the breathtaking scenery is worth the

20-minute drive, especially because the park

offers numerous trails of varying lengths, including

some that are ideal for day hikes. Other

visitors recommend booking a guided tour

to get the history of the park, too.

You can access Chugach State Park year-round

from the Seward Highway. While there is no

specific entry fee, you will have to pay a $5

fee to park. Check the park’s website for more

information.

of the ocean in the St. Elias Mountains at Mount Fairweather,

the park’s tallest peak at 15,300 feet (4,700 m), transitioning to

the Fairweather Range from there southwards. The Brady Icefield

caps the Fairweather Range on a peninsula extending from

the ocean to Glacier Bay, which extends from Icy Strait to the

Canada–US border at Grand Pacific Glacier, cutting off the western

part of the park. To the east of Glacier Bay the Takhinsha

Mountains and the Chilkat Range form a peninsula bounded by

the Lynn Canal on the east, with the park’s eastern boundary with

Tongass National Forest running along the ridgeline. The park’s

northwestern boundary, which also abuts Tongass National Forest,

runs in the valley of the Alsek River to Dry Bay. The preserve

lands comprise a small area at Dry Bay — the majority of Glacier

Bay lands are national park lands. The park boundary excludes

Gustavus at the mouth of Glacier Bay. The lands adjoining the

park to the north in Canada are included in Tatshenshini-Alsek

Provincial Park.

No roads lead to the park and it is most easily reached by air

travel. During some summers there are ferries to the small community

of Gustavus or directly to the marina at Bartlett Cove.

[8] Despite the lack of roads, the park received an average of

about 470,000 recreational visitors annually from 2007 to 2016,

with 520,171 visitors in 2016. Most of the visitors arrive via cruise

ships. The number of ships that may arrive each day is limited by

regulation.[8] Other travelers come on white-water rafting trips,

putting in on the Tatshenshini River at Dalton Post in the Yukon

Territory and taking out at the Dry Bay Ranger Station in the

Glacier Bay National Preserve. Trips generally take six days and

pass through Kluane National Park and Reserve in the Yukon and

Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park in British Columbia.

Alaska Aviation Museum

Aviation has played a major role in Alaska’s development

– before there was a significant network

of paved roads or railways, there were landing

strips – and at the Alaska Aviation Heritage

Museum you can learn how airplanes helped the

Last Frontier take flight. Exhibits focus on the careers

of bush pilots, who mastered flying over the

state’s rough terrain, plus the history of Alaskan

aviation. While touring, check out the historic

aircraft housed in the storage hanger. Recent

visitors recommend taking your time to explore

and see all of the planes, and not to miss the last

hanger, where you can watch volunteers rebuilding

vintage bush planes.

Overlooking Lake Hood from the grounds of the

Anchorage airport, the Alaska Aviation Heritage

Museum is a great place to either start or end

your Anchorage trip. You can visit between 9

a.m. and 5 p.m. every day during the summer and

Wednesdays through Sundays during the winter.

Admission is $15 for adults and $8 for children

(ages 5 to 12). For more information, check out

the museum website.

Alaska Botanical Garden

Spanning about 110 acres, the Alaska Botanical

Garden features 150 native plant species and

more than 1,100 perennials. There is an herb garden,

a wildflower trail, two perennial gardens and

the new Anchorage Heritage Garden, which was

completed in the summer of 2015 and is filled with

native plants that were grown from local seeds.

Called a “small gem located in a large city” by one

recent visitor, the garden attracts both locals and

visitors alike with its serene walking paths, beautiful

flowers and helpful staff that are available to

answer any questions you may have about the gardens.

To the east of the garden is Campbell Creek, which

has a summer Chinook salmon run. Plus, visiting in

the warmer months guarantees that you will see

thousands of flowering plants. The Alaska Botanical

Garden is located about 2½ miles southeast of

the University of Alaska Anchorage and shares a

parking lot with Benny Benson Secondary School.

The garden is also accessible via route Nos. 75

Alaska Zoo

If the thought of running into some of Alaska’s

four-legged friends in their natural habitat makes

you nervous, visit them (safely) at the Alaska

Zoo. This little zoo rescues numerous critters –

including moose, caribou, polar bears, seals and

wolves, among others – that can no longer survive

in the wild. Anchorage’s residents hold this

quaint zoo close to their hearts – they have even

named all the animals housed there.

However, some recent visitors believe that the

limited offerings and small habitats are drawbacks,

as it can be a bit sad to view the animals in

smaller cage areas.

You’ll find the Alaska Zoo sitting southeast of

downtown along O’Malley Road. The animals

welcome visitors every day, although hours vary

depending on the season. Admission is $15 for

adults and $7 for children. For more information,

visit the zoo’s website.

Potter Marsh Is located about 5 miles south of

the Alaska Zoo and about 11 miles southeast of

Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport,

and is accessible via the New Seward Highway.

of Fish and Game website.

Alaska Railroad

In a city that was born from the need for transportation,

it should come as no surprise that

Anchorage’s train depot marks the gateway to

the Last Frontier. And when it comes time to

get out of town, the Alaska Railroad has just

the ticket. While you pass mountains, the sea,

forests and glaciers, the Alaska Railroad provides

a guided tour to quench your interests.

The most popular tours cover major landmarks

like the Prince William Sound, the Arctic tundra

and the Denali and Spencer glaciers.

Recent visitors agreed that the ride was the

best part of their trip. According to several

passengers, the train slows when passing certain

vistas, allowing riders to snap memorable

photos of glaciers, waterfalls and wildlife.

The Alaska Railroad offers trips throughout

the year, starting at the Alaska train depot in

downtown Anchorage. Most train tour packages

require at least five days, and hotels are

included in the price (however, you’re on your

own in terms of food, unless you opt for the

GoldStar service). Rates vary depending on

the type and length of the tour. For more information,

check out the railroad website.

Understand What

Chiropractic Care Does!

Many of the un-wanted conditions that people suffer from everyday can be traced

back to spinal mis-alignment or subluxation & nerve system interference. Doctors

of Chiropractic are specialist in the detection, correction and prevention of nerve

system interference. Chiropractic makes sense, it’s scientific, incredibly safe, it’s

natural and looks to cover the underlying cause of your problem.
