Stop The TONY KNOWLES INTERTIE B6 Anchorage Daily News Monday, November 13, 1995 Anchorage Daily News Monday, November 13, 1995 = _B3 ANWR bill - A closer look at the basics Will Congress pass a measure that contains a provision opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil development? We hope so, but we also fear the measure is misunderstood. ; The ANWR provision routinely is referred to as part of the budget. That’s misleading. It is not part of the 1996 spending proposal Congress and President Clinton are arguing about. ANWR has been rolled into a Republican budget reconciliation bill, a package of law changes designed to balance government spending by the year 2002. If passed, the bill will eliminate many programs and cuts hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare, Medicaid and welfare. It also will reduce some farm subsidies and provide a tax cut. Revenue from ANWR drilling rights is supposed to help ensure the books balance. Congress must pass a 1996 budget for the federal government to continue operations; it does not have to pass the reconciliation bill. If the president and Republican legislative leaders fail to reach an agreement on the reconciliation measure, it will die — and so will the provision for opening ANWR. The question of how the state and the federal government might divide drilling and royalty revenue from ANWR is a source of further confusion. The reconciliation provision says Uncle Sam and the state will split the take 50-50. Many Alaskans counter that the statehood agreement entitles Alaska to 90 percent of the revenue, although ANWR is federal land. The statehood agreement does say that, but the U.S. Constitution, especially Articles I and IV, gives the Congress great power over federal lands. And no statehood act, even when dressed up by Alaska’s political leaders: in the formal attire of a ‘“‘compact,”’ can restrict the powers of the Constitution. That’s why independent stateside scholars were so skeptical when the Daily News asked them about the “compact”’ theory and 90-10 assertions advanced by the Hickel administration in its $29 billion lawsuit against the federal government. As Thad Beyle of the University of North Carolina put it, “What you may be seeing here is what the Congress promised Alaska then (1959), and this is a new Congress, so tough luck, Alaska,” Amid the euphoria over ANWR’s improved prospects, it’s important to remember two things: The measure opening ANWR may not pass at all. And if it does, our “‘right”’ to 90 percent of the money may be no right at all. Sports complex A specter of projects past? People who remember Anchorage’s experience with mega-projects in the 1980s are understandably skittish about plans for a major sports complex in South Anchorage. _ The parallels to the king of budget-busters, the performing arts center, are obvious. The center began as a seven-theater complex, and even though it was scaled back to three, it still cost nearly $70 million, an overrun of more than 50 percent. The proposed sports complex is comparably ambitious. Supporters envision two indoor, pro-size hockey rinks with spectator seating, plus an indoor football stadium seating at least 5,000, plus room for more than a dozen outdoor playing fields. That sounds bigger and more elaborate than the Sullivan Arena, which cost $34 million when built 15 years ago. At $40 million, the price tag for the South Anchorage complex may be low. Another disturbing parallel is what happened to the city library system after the new $40 million headquarters library opened. Citing a money crunch, the city closed branch libraries, scaled back hours and failed to put enough books on the shelves. Skeptics have reason to worry something similar may happen with city recreation facilities. Already, half the ice rinks at local elementary schools sit unused for lack of maintenance money. Residents of Muldoon and Mountain View are lobbying for neighborhood recreation centers, and scores of city and school playgrounds need safety upgrades. Alaska’s long winters send children and adults flocking to public gyms and rinks across the city. During our long summer days, people by the thousands turn out to play soccer, baseball and other organized sports. Undoubtedly, even more people would participate if more facilities were available. Anchorage has the space, the wealth and the dedicated volunteers needed. But local voters are reluctant to pay higher taxes to expand city services. It’s not at all clear the: city could. keep. other neighborhoods from being'’shortchanged 4f so much money is poured into a single huge sports complex.

It dominates the No- bel Prizes in science. It has great artists and writers and doctors and creative business leaders. And for the highest po- litical office in the land, it is apparently going to offer its citizens a choice be- tween Bill Clinton and Bob Dole. What has gone wrong with our political system that it gives us such a choice? That is the question left by Colin Powell’s deci- sion not to run for presi- dent. ‘President Clinton and Senator Dole are able poli- ticlans. But they exemplify the quality that makes so many Americans cynical about politics: the lack of principle, the willingness to abandon almost any po- sition in order to win favor from this group or that. In the brief flowering of General Powell’s possible candidacy, he made a good many people hope for something better. That is why there was such ex- traordinary disappoint- ment at his negative deci- sion: a feeling that seemed as much personal as politi- cal. Across the political spec- trum, Americans who watched his statement and press conference on televi- sion said they were sad. They had just seen the dig- nity, the presence, the di- rectness they long for in a president. Prof. Henry Louis Gates Jr. of Harvard, who did a notable piece for The New Yorker on Powell two months ago, summed the ANTHONY LEWIS reaction up this way: “Now I know we expect better. I didn’t know that before Colin Powell.’ . Powell said at his press conference that he knew politics was a rough busi- ness, and “‘you should run this test of fire if you wish this highest office.’’ But he . also said ‘‘we should start to draw the line at some of the incivility’’ in our polit- ical life. Incivility is a mild word for the ugliness that has increasingly marked Amer- ican politics. Whether one agrees or disagrees with Clinton, the vitriol poured on him even in some re- spectable papers is. dis- graceful. Anyone who thinks about running for presi- dent these days has to reckon with the likelihood — the certainty — of per- sonal attack. Nothing is too intimate or too vicious to be out of bounds. A campaign for presi- dent is not just ugly. It is unbearably long. The Re- publican hopefuls have been out there day and night for many months, A reflective genius like Thomas Jefferson, however ambitious, would not undergo today’s marathon (though he did suffer charges that he was an adulterer and an agent of the French revolutionary Jacobins).

A candidate has to be ‘someone willing ta spend hundreds of nights in mo- tels and days’ repeating - worn-out phrases to the numbed faithful. Not only willing but physically able to stand up to that punish- ment. 2 Such an election system excludes the sensitive as candidates, perhaps even someone with a sense of humor about himself or herself. A reflective genius like Thomas Jefferson, however ambitious, would not undergo today’s mara- thon (though he did suffer charges that he was an adulterer and an agent of the French revolutionary Jacobins). Would even a Dwight Eisenhower run to- day? I doubt it. But the most devastat- ing characteristic of the system we have developed is money. Candidates have to spend most of their time raising it. And that in turn shapes the character of the choice given to the voters. Powell has shown that many or most Republicans out Powell’s would ke. a Hak ‘strident party, one less narrowly committed to such taeotoer: cal crusades as making abortion illegal, ending gun control or gutting pro- tection of the environment, But the money comes mostly from the ideological — ous hard-liners. A centri publican, at least one glamour, would have little chance of raising the huge sums needed for today’s cam- paigns. Powell said he was go- ing to work, as a new member of the Republican Party, to “broaden its ap- peal’? — to make it, among other things, once more the party of Lincoln. As presi- dent he might have done that. I do not see how he can from outside. If the political system has gone awry, that is our responsibility — the pub-. lic’s — in a democracy. Powell had it right. ‘“‘Don’t give up on the political process,” he said. Re- O Anthony Lewis is a New York . Times columnist. Homeowners discover charm of log houses | SEATTLE — When Mike Leon, a design engineer with Hewlett-Packard in Washington state, decided to build a new home for himself and his wife, he looked at several options: traditional wood-frame, post-and-beam, solid cedar. But when he broke ground for his new abode last summer, on a site overlooking the Columbia River, the house that rose would have been familiar to settlers 150 years earli- er. It was a log house, built of white pine and spruce. Leon’s choice is becom- ing a popular one. An esti- mated 25,000 log: houses will be built in the United States this year, many more than a decade ago. More than 200,000 people subscribe to Log Home Living and Log Home II- lustrated, two thick and glossy magazines full of the joy of the simple life. Many a woodland clearing or mountain fastness now boasts a modern, fully- wired successor to the fron- tiersman’s shack. Why? Brian Schafer, a log-house builder in Idaho, says the typical buyer wants something tradition- al and, at least on the surface, “in tune; with na- ture.” , Baby-boomers like log THE ECONOMIST Many a woodland clearing or mountain fastness now boasts a modern, fully-wired successor to the frontiersman’s shack. houses because they re- mind them of their child- hood holidays, or of televi- sion series from the 1950s such as ‘Daniel Boone’’ and ‘‘Bonanza.”’ Telecommuters see them as an antidote to the elec- tronic wizardry that domi- nates their lives. And old- timers like them because they’re old-timers. It is happening despite a growing shortage of logs, particularly on the West Coast. There, demand and shortages between them have forced whole-log prices up by a factor of three or four in recent years. Log-house builders are clever scavengers, finding stands of trees that have been killed by fire or dis- ease. Even so, many logs now get shipped in from Canada. rn Finding raw materials is ‘ less of a headache in the eastern United States, with its abundant stands of oak and pine. Builders there often mill the wood into round or square ‘‘logs’’ quite unlike the whole logs favored in the West. When something is scarce, all the more reason to flaunt it. Many log hous- es now being built in the West, at around $1 million apiece, recall the Adiron- dack hunting lodges of the Rockefellers more than the simple cabin of Daniel Boone. They contain media rooms, outdoor spas, elabo- rate fireplaces of local stone, the inevitable collec- tions of western paintings and bronze bucking horses, and oversized furnishings to match the larger-than- life scale of the building itself. As the managing editor of one log-house magazine a notes, “‘Log homes are al-— most the vernacular archi- tecture of the rich and fa-- _ mous.” For those with no archi- tect, builder or bottomless fund of cash, all is not lost. You can build a cabin yourself; and many do. Some regret their deci- sion. The log-house kits that are popular among the budget-minded (costing $20,000 to 35,000 each) sometimes arrive on site as a simple pile of logs with a construction manual and not much else. Even braver souls start with no more than a few truckloads of freshly cut logs, still wearing their coat of bark. There are other hurdles. Contractors are loath to take on log houses because they are tricky to build. Banks may be reluctant to lend money for what seems a Quixotic project. But log houses, with their stout walls, strange acoustics and rich scents of the forest, have a charm that overcbmes all that.

She and her husband were also founding members of the Cook Inlet Historical Society. According to her family, Mrs. Strutz was well known in gardening circles for her yard, garden, greenhouse, large vegetables, and the cultivation of various berries. Her yard was featured for many years on the local home and garden tours. As an amateur botanist, she was considered an authority on Alaska, wild flowers by professionals in many parts of the world, and she regularly. corresponded and traded seeds with her fellow botanists in Canada, South America, Austria, Switzerland, New Zealand, Atriea, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, England, and Scotland. She also traveled extensively into remote regions of Alaska to collect and photograph new flowers. She wrote several articles for gardening journals, and many of her pictures of Alaska wild flowers were printed in “Alaska-Yukon Wild Flower Guide’ and “Alaska Wildberry Guide and Cookbook.” Mrs. Strutz identified a previously unknown Alaskan Sage which was named for her, the “Artemisia Campestris L.

A return _ By KATHLEEN SHERMAN Chukchi News KOTZEBUE — The sun - & Information Service in my eyes as I watched the airplane oh vy was and television. I was 7 years old, soon to be 8 and had just completed the sec- ond grade. “Don’t be sad, summer will soon be over and you'll be back home,”’ my grandmother said. I lis- tened to her words and in no time I was no longer - lonely. During my stay at camp, Pd do a lot of outside activities, such as berry picking, swimming and looking for duck eggs in the willows. Now that I am older, I realize that one of the main reasons for my stay at Sisaulik was to help my grandmother gath- er large amounts of ber- ties, blueberries in particu- lar, Sometimes they would measure up to the size of my thumb. We would walk half a mile or more from camp and find huge blue- berry patches and would _. stay late into the summer evenings. Exhausted at the | end of the day, I wouldn’t even bother to clean my _ purple-stained knees. On other days I would stuff _ the front of my atiklu with round white shells _ that were later made into - _ necklaces for my mother and grandmother. At 18, I took my first paid job that summer at Rotmans Store as a cashier clerk for eight dollars an hour. I was excited, as long as I was working I’d be able to spend my summer in Kotzebue. My next three summers were spent in Kotzebue as well. : No longer was I interest- ed in berry picking and spending numerous hours on the beach picking up shells the waves had tossed _ up. Now my interests turn- ed toward the latest hair- styles, makeup and dances. I especially enjoyed spend- dug the suney that I had earned during the summer months on clothes, clothes, - clothes! Ma During my high school 9° years, I rarely visited my grandparents in camp. The only time I would see them would be during the holi- days such as Christmas. My family would gather at the Friends Church, which held the largest Christmas program in town. Green and red Christmas orna- ments hung from the church’s triangle-shaped ceiling. And, as always, a large beautiful tree was wrapped with glittering garlands and glowing lights on the stage where > At Westmark Hotels you'll ». 4, find comfortable lodging, 9, See great dining and the I’d once recited my Christ- mas piece as a young child. Each year we prepared a huge birthday dinner for my grandmother. She was always happy because she could visit with friends and family. Somchow we. managed to comfortably fit everyone into our house. We still have dinners for her, so luckily our house has expanded in size. © After graduation I moved out of my parents’ house into a comfortable apartment with my older sister, then later on into’ one of my own. Responsi- bilities knocked on my door and employment was necessary. No longer was I able to spend money and time freely as I once had. A work schedule had to be followed and household bills needed to be paid. Yet, somehow I managed, Struggling less than I had friendliest service through- out Alaska and the Yukon.
