At a Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce meeting in the early 1970s, Len Laurance said that eventually Ketchikan would host more than one million cruise ship passengers each season.
The proclamation, made at a time when less than 70,000 cruise passengers visited the First City, was met with guffaws by the audience.
But Laurance, who died at 88 on April 8, was right. In both 2018 and 2019, Ketchikan had more than one million cruise visitors and would likely have had more than 1.3 million in 2020 if not for the COVID 19 pandemic that shut down the entire Alaskan cruising industry.
In an interview in 2014, Laurance said his projections were simply based on a 10 percent increase every year.

Edited By MARY KAUFFMAN - Today, Senator Bill Wielechowski (D-Anchorage) introduced Senate Joint Resolution 12, joining others in urging the United States Congress to remove the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset clauses from the United States Social Security Act.
Both provisions affect the calculation of the Social Security benefits for individuals who also receive a state pension or one from a political subdivision. The Windfall Elimination Provision applies to direct public employees while the Government Pension Offset reduces benefits of spouses and survivors who are public employees – both of which cut benefits up to hundreds of dollars per month.

Southeast Alaskans Respond to Report Posted & Edited By MARY KAUFFMAN - According to British Columbia and Alaska's Bilateral Working Group, the four-year effort between B.C. and Alaska to examine water quality in the Stikine, Taku, and Unuk transboundary watersheds brought together government agencies, Indigenous Nations, industry, and the public to ensure the environmental, cultural, and economic values of these rivers are protected.
"This program has been an extraordinary partnership of many dedicated and knowledgeable people, and is a great example of what can be achieved when we work together," said George Heyman, B.C.'s Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy. "Water and wildlife don't recognize borders, and so it's up to all of us to protect our critical and priceless watersheds regardless of jurisdiction."
