This year’s Lost Lake Breath of Life Run for Cystic Fibrosis saw a few changes and a couple of record breakers. Jenifer Kohout broke a record from 1993 with the fastest time in the women’s 40-49 age group, 2 hours, 10 minutes and 30 seconds. Mary Barrett was the fastest in the women’s 50-54 age group, with a time of 2:16:40. Her time was 8 minutes faster than the previous record. Bradley Cruz got the second fastest time in the men’s 50-54 age group, with a time of 1:57:04 and has the honor of holding three of the four fastest times in this age group. More age groups and pictures at the mile markers of people in Alaska with cystic fibro - sis were some of the additions to this year’s event. The most notable change was that founder of the 16-mile race, Seward resident Marsha Vincent, has stepped aside and let an Anchorage family take over the responsibility The Simpson family, like Vincent, has been impacted by the disease. Vincent has two grown sons who are living with the disease. Pat and Christalyn Simpson lost their son, Zachary, in November 2006.

Wild things enjoy 5-star meals at the SeaLife ‘restaurant’ Fresh foods, careful prep take priority at center JASON WETTSTEIN For The Seward Phoenix Log

Only the finest ingredients pass by the mouths, beaks and eager rustling claws of the Alaska SeaLife Center’s resident ani - mals. Food preparation at the center is a matter of distinction, qual - ity and an unrelenting effort to achieve impeccable cleanliness. As Alaska’s premier venue for marine wildlife in the public view, a meal for the residents is more than a meal, it is a culmi - nation of careful preparations. The center aims for the freshest, most recently harvested and most environmentally appropriate food, including clams, bait fish and squid, among other species. Most of the preparations take place behind the scenes in Food Prep Room 143, the restaurant of the ringed seals and kitchen for SW 09-06-07 the kittiwakes. Quality is top in room 143.

From page 7 or their primary prey, ringed seals, which spend much of their lives hidden from view in snow lairs on top of Arctic sea ice. Gray whales feed on small creatures such as amphipods, a small, shrimp-like crustacean, and tube worms found in bottom sediments. Free RAZRs GO FAST The whales have 130 to 180 overlapping plates of frayed baleen hanging from each side of the upper jaw. When they feed, gray whales dive to the ocean bottom, roll on their side and draw bot - tom sediments and water into their mouth. As they close their mouths, they expel water and sediment through the baleen plates, which trap the food on the inside near the tongue to be swallowed. Perryman would be more worried about the health of the gray whale population, he said, if the observations of skinny whales were accompanied by strandings, a term scientists use not just to describe whales that become disoriented and end up beached, but also whales that die of starvation, disease or par - asites and float to shore. In a normal year, there are about 30 such reports. That number has not jumped in the last two years, Perryman said. That’s in contrast to roughly nine years ago, when there was a precipitous decline. Peak population GCI The whale population reached a modern peak of 26,000 animals in 1997. But in 1999, the federal government recorded about 270 strandings, and a year later, more than 300. 3x10 Calf production fell and the population dropped to 19,000 animals. Some speculate that gray whale numbers simply overtaxed the carrying capacity of the feeding grounds. Swartz, who started study - ing gray whales in 1977, said researchers ini - tially suspected the crash was due to short- term weather phenomena, a warm year of surface water associated with a strong El Nino event that interrupted normal cycles of plankton production followed by unusually cold water the next year associated with a La Nina event. He now wonders if the crash was connect - ed to “regime change” brought on by global Three cool colors! Black, silver and bubble gum pink. warming.
