Lost Pet: Small Dog
Was found and returned - YEAH!
Missing from home since Friday evening's
thunderstorm: 10-year-old spayed female house dog, blond, approx.
10 pounds, was wearing red bandanna-type collar, no tags. Mixed
breed: cocker, Pekingese, Shih Tzu. Very friendly with most adults,
not fond of small children. Her name is "Poppy" and we miss her a
lot! Her home is in Clearwater, on Arctic Grayling off Souhrada.
If you have her, or have seen her, we'd really appreciate a call
at 895-5059. Thank you!

"Smoke may get in your eyes, but love was definitely in the
air on Friday July 2, when long time local sweethearts Danielle Boadwine and

Danielle's "maid" of honor was her dad, Dave Boadwine. Mom Barb and Mom Joyce
were close by and cried right on cue. The newlyweds, friends and family then
enjoyed an Alaskan style barbecue and jet skiing under the midnight sun at
Quartz Lake. Dave and Dani are building a new home on their property in Ester

News Release: Camp Fire Creek - July 9
Delta Junction, Alaska, July 9, 2004, 8:00 AM -
The cooler temperatures and favorable humidity conditions have
allowed crews to make good progress on the fire. The fire is
approximately 132,422 acres and is estimated to be 80% contained.
Favorable weather conditions have been forecasted for today, and
crews will continue to build fire line and mop up around the
northwest, southwest and eastern parts of the fire.
Fire personnel, in conjunction with local forestry
staff will begin assessments to identify locations and methods of
protection needed for structures in and around the area affected
by the Camp Creek Fire. These efforts are in coordination with
the development of the Firewise program in the Delta area.
Snags with burned-out root systems and the
construction on Pogo Mine Road continue to be hazardous for
crews. Crews are also being supplied with pepper spray to use in
the chance of a nuisance bear.

News Release: Camp Fire Creek
Delta Jct. AK July 8, 2004, 10:00 AM. - Another day of mild
weather allowed crews to make good perimeter progress on the Camp
Creek Fire. Crews are now focusing on areas of hte fire that could
cause problems with the projected weather forecast. “Containment
strategies have been developed to meet the forecasted weather
conditions. Therefore, we’re focusing our efforts on the northwest
and north portion of the fire perimeter in anticipation of a
switch in wind direction to an east-northeasterly flow, “said John
Stegmeir, incident Commander of the Minnesota Incident Support
Team.
Reconnaissance flights occurred yesterday. More accurate mapping
has estimated the fire to be 131,883 acres. This mapping was
facilitated from helicopters using GPS technology. Reconnaissance
flights have confirmed the loss of one exploration facility and
two remote cabins.
The first objective when suppressing a fire is always to protect
for firefighter and public safety. Developing safety concerns on
the Camp Creek Fire are the snags. These problems trees are
becoming uprooted and sliding onto roads and trails, causing
safety and access concerns. Yesterday was another safe day for
fire personnel, with no injuries reported.
The weather is expected to be mild today, with rain predicted this
morning with a partly cloudy forecast this afternoon. Temperatures
are expected to be 68-72, with relative humidity between 40 - 45%.
Winds are expected to be from the west at 10 to 15 miles per hour.
Pogo Mine Road construction will shut down the Pogo Mine Road from
1700 to 1900 to complete a blasting operation. Fire and Pogo Mine
personnel have coordinated to make sure crews are not in the area
of the blast.
A ban on all forms of open burning including camp fires, warming
fires, charcoal fires and the use and sale of fire works remains
in effect.
