NEWS CLIPPINGS

• ESPN: Bogus bear tracks found on Alaska trails
• Meltdown - Mark Lynas, The Guardian  "In the early summer of 1901, the steamship Lavelle Young - having travelled 1,500km up the Yukon and Tanana rivers into the wild interior of Alaska - hit shallow water and began to scrape the riverbed."
• Fairbanks dedicates memorial to fallen officer
• Golden Heart City
• Smoky air blows into Fairbanks - USA Today "A change of wind direction blew smoke from the 55,000-acre Boundary fire 50 miles north of Fairbanks and other blazes into the Fairbanks North Star Borough, creating hazardous air conditions for the 82,000 residents."
• Fairbanks is listed as Alaska's third largest city - "In 2000, the Census recorded Juneau's population as 30,711. The Golden Heart City's 2000 population: 30,224."
• A Fairbanks woman with a heart of gold - Seattle Times "Come in, Dearie! Come in!"   It was wartime in Alaska. Eva McGown was on duty. Often the visitors were military wives, newly arrived in Fairbanks, with babies in arms and other tykes tugging at their skirts. They were tired and discouraged. They had no place to stay. Somewhere along their disheartening searches for lodging, sympathetic Fairbanksans had suggested that the women "go see Eva McGown at the Nordale."
