  • Team NZ Lead Luna Rossa in America's
    ARAB TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 2021 SPORTS 14 Team NZ lead Luna Rossa in America’s Cup Defenders move to match point AUCKLAND, New Zea- land, March 16, (AP): Match point Team New Zealand. The America’s Cup Defender beat Italian challenger Luna Rossa by 30 seconds in the only race that could be sailed Tues- day to move ahead 6-3 in the fi rst-to-seven-win series in Auckland. For the third race in a row, Team New Zealand came from behind to beat Luna Rossa, delivering a crushing blow to the morale of the Italian team which has been constantly competitive in the 36th America’s Cup match but plagued by bad luck or bad decisions. Luna Rossa led around the first four marks on the six-leg course but not by more than 9 seconds. On a day of light and shifty conditions, when the race course had to be set and re-set, Team New Zealand picked up a right shift on the last beat to snatch the lead and the race. Throughout the afternoon the breeze – sometimes full at 15 knots, at other times light and puffy at 7 knots – tracked from southwest to west and back on what is known as the Stadium Course. Course C is closest to the land of the five Cup course, overlooked by North Head and visible to traffic on Auckland’s busy Tamaki drive. SAILING The start of the second of the day’s two races was delayed as the breeze again flitted about, defying the match committee’s efforts to set a true course.

  • Iditarod National Historic Trail I Historic Overview — Robert King
    Iditarod National Historic Trail i Historic Overview — Robert King Introduction: Today’s Iditarod Trail, a symbol of frontier travel and once an important artery of Alaska’s winter commerce, served a string of mining camps, trading posts, and other settlements founded between 1880 and 1920, during Alaska’s Gold Rush Era. Alaska’s gold rushes were an extension of the American mining frontier that dates from colonial America and moved west to California with the gold discovery there in 1848. In each new territory, gold strikes had caused a surge in population, the establishment of a territorial government, and the development of a transportation system linking the goldfields with the rest of the nation. Alaska, too, followed through these same general stages. With the increase in gold production particularly in the later 1890s and early 1900s, the non-Native population boomed from 430 people in 1880 to some 36,400 in 1910. In 1912, President Taft signed the act creating the Territory of Alaska. At that time, the region’s 1 Iditarod National Historic Trail: Historic Overview transportation systems included a mixture of steamship and steamboat lines, railroads, wagon roads, and various cross-country trail including ones designed principally for winter time dogsled travel. Of the latter, the longest ran from Seward to Nome, and came to be called the Iditarod Trail. The Iditarod Trail today: The Iditarod trail, first commonly referred to as the Seward to Nome trail, was developed starting in 1908 in response to gold rush era needs. While marked off by an official government survey, in many places it followed preexisting Native trails of the Tanaina and Ingalik Indians in the Interior of Alaska.

  • Bonnie- Sue Hitchcock Blends Nar- Ratives of Indigenous and Non- Into a Buffet of Pain and Beauty
    THE SMELL OF OTHER people’S HOUSES SNEAK PEEK PRAISE FOR The Smell of Other People’s Houses “The physical landscape of Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock’s Alaska is raw, beautiful and wholly unfamiliar, but the true wonder of this thrilling, arresting debut novel is that the emotional landscape feels just as powerful—and just as untrammeled.” — Gayle Forman, New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay and I Was Here “Hitchcock’s debut resonates with the timeless quality of a clas- sic. This is a fascinating character study— a poetic interweaving of rural isolation and coming- of- age.” — John Corey Whaley, author of the Michael L. Printz Award winner Where Things Come Back “An honest, gritty, and moving portrait of growing up in Alaska. Only someone who knows and loves this place through and through could tell this story. This book is Alaska.” — Eowyn Ivey, author of the New York Times bestseller The Snow Child “As only a native of Alaska can, Bonnie- Sue Hitchcock blends nar- ratives of indigenous and non- into a buffet of pain and beauty. Highly recommended.” — Tim Tingle, Choctaw author of the series How I Became a Ghost Hitc_9780553497786_4p_all_r3.indd 1 11/11/15 11:57 AM “The untamed landscape is reflected in the wilderness of the human heart. Hitchcock shows us that it’s possible to survive the crossings between wealthy and impoverished, indigenous and settler, proving that any line that divides can just as easily bind.” — Anne Keala Kelly (Kanaka `Oiwi),¯ filmmaker and journalist “The Alaskan answer to The House on Mango Street, with full, round portraits presented with poetry, grace, and insight.” — David Cheezem, Fireside Books, Palmer, AK “This is a novel of second chances, of teens being teens, and of what it meant to be the first generation of youth in Alaska to experience statehood.
