Good morning, Anchorage.

In 1915, the steamship Bertha ran aground on a sandspit in Uyak Bay and burst into flames when water reacted with 16 barrels of quicklime; Captain Charles Glasscock signaled for help as the crew recovered supplies but left personal belongings behind (a dramatic end for a gold rush relic).

The proposed trans-Alaska pipeline project plans to remove CO2 from natural gas at its treatment plant in Prudhoe Bay, splitting the gas so that federal tax credits (estimated at $7.4 billion over 12 years) ease project costs while enabling LNG exports from Cook Inlet.

The nonprofit True North Recovery revised its plan for a Fairview behavioral health center after local groups raised concerns, shifting from crisis response to telehealth and outpatient care (aiming to support community safety).

The Anchorage Assembly will review the updated grant contract on July 7 at East 10th Ave.

Seattle mountaineer Bailey D’Antonio wrapped up her quest of summiting all fifty state high points with a successful climb of Mt. McKinley in Alaska this week.

She reflected on lessons from a family tradition and will soon begin training for marathons (her next challenge).
