But the language is far from gone – it’s being taught to Eyak descendants and anyone else who is willing to learn it. Revitalizing and reviving the lost language of Eyak was the focus of Eyak Culture Camp on July 29-31 at Orca Adventure Lodge. Eyak is part of the Na-Dené language family and was historically spoken by the dAXunhyuu people living along the Gulf of Alaska coast, near the mouth of the Copper River.

Biologist Albina Kanzeparova is the newest addition to the research team at the Prince William Sound Science Center, where she will spend two and a half months working predominantly with research ecologist Pete Rand. Through a grant from the Trust for Mutual Understanding, an NGO that supports US/Russian scientific and cultural exchanges, Kanzeparova will work with science center researchers to gain insight into studying the interactions between wild and hatchery-raised salmon. Though thousands of miles from Cordova, Kanzeparova conducts research in a region of Russia that houses many of the same plants and animals — giant brown bears, orcas, wild berries and of course, salmon. The way salmon are harvested, however, is very different. Rand noted that the commercial fishery in the Russian Far East “is like the fishery that used to be here in Alaska before statehood,” as fishermen utilize trap nets set close to shore, rather than seine or gill nets.

WWW.THECORDOVATIMES.COM BY CINTHIA GIBBENS-STIMSON [email protected] Warmer ocean temperatures and changing food sourc- es in the ocean could be the reasons for the higher than average amount of seagulls roosting all over Cordova, scientists say. Since January, water temperatures recorded at the Cordova tide station are four degrees to six degrees warmer than normal, said Mary Anne Bishop, Prince William Sound Science Center’s research ecologist, who holds a doctorate in wildlife ecology. “The temperatures have been breaking records every month since March,” she said. “The warmer ocean tem- peratures are changing food sources.” While it isn’t unusual to see a plethora of seagulls in a coastal community during this time of year, Bishop said she believes there are a few thousand more of the Glaucous-winged gulls in Cordova than usual. The science center has conducted two gull counts this summer. Preliminary numbers from the count in June estimate that there are 8,000 to 10,000 seagulls roosting in Cordova. The center continues to count the gulls ap- proximately every 10 days. The birds are in Cordova, Bishop said, because they’re not sitting on nests in colonies on the Copper River Delta. “The uninhabited barrier islands of the Copper River Delta provide gull nesting habitat,” she said. “There have been colonies of gulls on them for many years. There are also gulls nesting out on Middleton Island and there are some gull colonies in the sound. … There is an estimate that approximately 10,000 pairs nested on Egg Island in the late 60s or early 70s.” But this year, Bishop said, the nesting colonies failed. “The gulls are not starving, but they can tell that condi- tions are not good in which to raise chicks,” Bishop said. Failing colonies means that gull eggs were not laid, or that the adult gulls destroyed the eggs. “Gulls can survive, but they know when there isn’t enough food, so they don’t bother to nest,” Bishop said. Bishop was at the mouth of the Copper River in mid- June, and said there were almost no seagull nests there. Some of the nests she examined had no eggs; others had FLOCK OF SEAGULLS Cordova seeing more seagulls than usual Warmer ocean temperatures and failed seagull colonies suspected cause INVESTIGATORY POWER Alaska joins opponents of climate change initiative Group’s letter defends ExxonMobil on allegations of misleading the public BY MARGARET BAUMAN [email protected] Alaska has joined a dozen other states in opposing efforts of several other states to explore initiatives that include investiga- tions into whether fossil fuel companies misled investors and the public on the im- pact of climate change on their businesses. “We think this effort by our colleagues to police the global warming debate through the power of the subpoena is a grave mis- take,” said the letter, signed by former Attorney General Craig Richards, along with the attorneys general of Michigan, Oklahoma, Arizona, Utah, South Carolina, Alabama, Nevada, Nebraska, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Wisconsin. “Some have indicated that ExxonMobil’s ENVIRONMENT Interior issues new rules for Arctic drilling AOGA calls news rules ‘cumbersome’ to industry BY MARGARET BAUMAN [email protected] Interior Department officials announced final regulations on July 7 for future explor- atory drilling in U.S. Arctic waters, prompt- ing words of caution from environmental- ists, and criticism from the oil industry.

Locals and visitors alike went just a little
bit wild last weekend — wild, that is, about
the Copper River Wild! Salmon Festival, held
at the base of Mt. Eyak on July 15-16.
When it comes to celebrating in a com-
munity all about fishing, a festival centered
around salmon is the perfect fit.
From dumpster painting to fish print-
ing, dancing to the bluesy rhythm of Bobby
Walker and the Roadsters, or having faces
painted and sampling delicious creations
from our community’s creative cooks, to
running marathons on the old Copper River
Railway railroad bed, the annual festival
has come a long way and has something for
nearly every Cordovan to see, do, or eat.
History
Salmon Jam, as the event was known in
1999, started up as a homegrown music fest
in the warehouse out at the old Orca Cannery.
“The caretakers out there, Dean and Kate,
came up with the idea,” said Alyssa Kleissler,

Cordova’s colorful past
inspires author
Cathy Pegau to release third in series of turn-of-the-century
murder mystery novels in early 2017
BY CINTHIA GIBBENS-STIMSON
MURDER & MAYHEM
For as long as she can remember, author
Cathy Pegau created stories in her head be-
fore she fell asleep at night. She was in high
school when she made her first attempt at
writing a story down, but didn’t share it with
anyone, she said.
She put aside thoughts of writing to pur-
sue a wildlife degree in college. Next she
went to work, and then she got married and
had a couple of kids.
“It wasn’t until our oldest was about 2
years old that I thought I might be able to
write a novel,” Pegau said. “A friend was writ-
ing. It sounded like a good challenge, as well
as something I could do between toddler
things.”
Eighteen years later, Pegau is a published
author with several books to her credit: a his-
torical murder-mystery series set in Cordova
in the early 1900s; three science-fiction fan-
tasy novels and short stories published in
several sci-fi fantasy anthologies.

Bristol Bay
brandBY MARGARET BAUMAN
In a year when the water was warmer
and the fish running in a different pattern,
the famed wild sockeye salmon run came
home once again with gusto, and now
Bristol Bay harvesters are honing in on es-
tablishing a brand of their own.
To that end, they are partnering with one
who’s been there, done that — Copper River
Seafoods — and already marketing some
high quality fresh fish.
“They’ve done a great job beginning to
develop a strong platform for the Bristol
Bay Brand,” says Scott Blake, president
and chief executive officer of Copper
River Seafoods, who is working with the
Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development
Association to establish recognition of the
brand.

customers and successfully executed by

The Eyak language was declared extinct in 2008 when the
last surviving Native Eyak speaker, Marie Smith Jones, died at
the age of 89.
But the language is far from gone – it’s being taught to Eyak
descendants and anyone else who is willing to learn it.
Revitalizing and reviving the lost language of Eyak was the
focus of Eyak Culture Camp on July 29-31 at Orca Adventure
Lodge. Eyak is part of the Na-Dené language family and was
historically spoken by the dAXunhyuu people living along the
Gulf of Alaska coast, near the mouth of the Copper River.
The three-day gathering is a time of fellowship and includes
classes on Eyak history, field trips and talking circles, tradi-
tional crafts such as skin sewing and beading, learning how

When asked about the similarities be-
tween Cordova and her home in Russia,
she laughed as she answered, “the cold and
rain.” It is another similarity, however, that
brought her all the way from the Russian
Far East to work here in Cordova — salmon.
Biologist Albina Kanzeparova is the
newest addition to the research team at
the Prince William Sound Science Center,
where she will spend two and a half months
working predominantly with research
ecologist Pete Rand. Through a grant from
the Trust for Mutual Understanding, an
NGO that supports US/Russian scientific
and cultural exchanges, Kanzeparova will
work with science center researchers to
gain insight into studying the interactions
between wild and hatchery-raised salmon.
Though thousands of miles from
Cordova, Kanzeparova conducts research
in a region of Russia that houses many of
the same plants and animals — giant brown
bears, orcas, wild berries and of course,
salmon. The way salmon are harvested,
however, is very different. Rand noted that
the commercial fishery in the Russian Far
East “is like the fishery that used to be here
in Alaska before statehood,” as fishermen
utilize trap nets set close to shore, rather
than seine or gill nets.

Warmer ocean temperatures and changing food sourc-
es in the ocean could be the reasons for the higher than
average amount of seagulls roosting all over Cordova,
scientists say.
Since January, water temperatures recorded at the
Cordova tide station are four degrees to six degrees
warmer than normal, said Mary Anne Bishop, Prince
William Sound Science Center’s research ecologist, who
holds a doctorate in wildlife ecology.
“The temperatures have been breaking records every
month since March,” she said. “The warmer ocean tem-
peratures are changing food sources.”
While it isn’t unusual to see a plethora of seagulls in
a coastal community during this time of year, Bishop
said she believes there are a few thousand more of the
Glaucous-winged gulls in Cordova than usual.
The science center has conducted two gull counts this
summer. Preliminary numbers from the count in June
estimate that there are 8,000 to 10,000 seagulls roosting
in Cordova. The center continues to count the gulls ap-
proximately every 10 days.
The birds are in Cordova, Bishop said, because they’re
not sitting on nests in colonies on the Copper River Delta.
“The uninhabited barrier islands of the Copper River
Delta provide gull nesting habitat,” she said. “There have
been colonies of gulls on them for many years. There are
also gulls nesting out on Middleton Island and there are
some gull colonies in the sound. … There is an estimate
that approximately 10,000 pairs nested on Egg Island in
the late 60s or early 70s.”
But this year, Bishop said, the nesting colonies failed.
“The gulls are not starving, but they can tell that condi-
tions are not good in which to raise chicks,” Bishop said.
Failing colonies means that gull eggs were not laid,
or that the adult gulls destroyed the eggs. “Gulls can
survive, but they know when there isn’t enough food, so
they don’t bother to nest,” Bishop said.
Bishop was at the mouth of the Copper River in mid-
June, and said there were almost no seagull nests there.
Some of the nests she examined had no eggs; others had

The Arctic-specific regulations an-

within the Beaufort and Chukchi seas. They
require oil companies to ensure proper in-

SALOME’S STARS
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A troubling
situation takes a positive turn and moves
toward a resolution that should please you
and your supporters. Meanwhile, make
time to deal with new domestic issues.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good
time to reassess your goals and consider
shifting directions. Remember to keep an
open mind, and be prepared to make chang-
es as new opportunities arise.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Rely on your
strong Mercury aspect to help you close
that communication gap before it becomes
too wide to cross. A sibling or other family
member has news.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re about
to get off that emotional roller coaster
and start experiencing more stability than
you’ve been used to. This is a good time to
let someone new into your life.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Good news: A
trusted friend comes through for you. But
you still need to shed that last scrap of self-
doubt and once more become the cool, con-
fident Cat we all know and love.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Things
should be getting back to a less hectic pace.
Enjoy the more peaceful atmosphere. You
earned it. But don’t forget about those still-
unresolved issues.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A
more positive family relationship develops
as misunderstandings are explained away. A
job situation appears promising, but check
it out before you act on it.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21)
Congratulations. That on-the-job situation
is working out as you’d hoped. Now’s a good
time to relax and to enjoy the company of
family and close friends.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December
21) You might feel as if you’re caught in an
emotional tug-of-war. But don’t be rushed
into a decision on either side. Wait for more
facts before you act.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19)
The Goat’s usually high level of self-confi-
dence is brimming over these days. This
should help you deal with a situation that
you’ve avoided for far too long. Go for it.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)
Relationships become more intense. But
be careful not to be pushed into decisions
you’re not comfortable with. Remember:
You’re the one in charge of your life.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You
need to show more confidence in your
ability to reach your goals. Make that long-
delayed decision, and avoid floundering
around in a sea of self-doubt.BORN THIS WEEK: Although you appear
to be strongly opinionated, you can also be
open to other ideas -- so long as they are pre-
sented with logic and clarity.(c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
