A

s U.S. cities go, Anchorage is a relative youngster. Formally settled in 1914, the city won’t celebrate the 100th anniversary of its incorporation for three more years. Alaska’s most populous city, with nearly 300,000 residents, Anchorage is home to more than 40 percent of the state’s residents. (Only New York City can claim a higher percentage of a state’s total population.)

While seemingly remote at first glance, Anchorage is actually considered an international hub given that it’s nearly equidistant from such notable cities as New York, Tokyo, and Berlin — less than a 10-hour flight from any of them. In light of that, what better locale for the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials to hold its 88th annual Education and Business Conference? 8


Your Guide to HISTORY U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward negotiated the purchase of the Alaska territory from Russia in 1867, a deal dismissed as “Seward’s folly” until gold was discovered 20 years later and critics started singing a different tune. Anchorage cropped up as a settlement around 1914 when the Alaska Engineering Commission set up a railroad construction port near Ship Creek. The tent city grew steadily and was incorporated in 1920, owing much of its economic development to the expansion of the railroad. Aviation development and the establishment of military presence fueled the city’s rapid growth through the 1930s-1950s. In March 1964, a magnitude 9.2 earthquake — the second largest known to recorded history —devastated Anchorage, killing 115 people and causing $311 million in damage. The city spent much of the ensuing decade rebuilding. The discovery of oil on Alaska’s North Slope in the late 1960s spurred another economic boom. Oil remains the city’s primary economic factor today.

For those who appreciate wildlife in a more controlled environment, the Alaska Zoo has provided a home for orphaned, injured, and captive-born animals for more than 40 years. View such species as eagles, owls, ducks, swans, foxes, bears, wolves, caribou, lynx, otters, and polar bears, the widest variety of animals native to Alaska in the state. If cultural history is more your thing, Anchorage has you covered, too. The Alaska Native Heritage Center is a renowned cultural center and museum celebrating Alaska’s indigenous people. Visitors experience Alaska native culture first-hand through engaging storytelling, authentic native song and dance, artist demonstrations, and native games demonstrations. The Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum celebrates another integral part of Anchorage’s history by presenting interactive displays, memorabilia, photographs, films, and artifacts from personal collections of Alaska’s pioneer aviators. Constructed in 1915, the Oscar Anderson House Museum is one of the oldest homes in Anchorage. Anderson was, by his own account, the 18th person to set up camp in the tent city at Ship Creek that would ultimately become Anchorage. The Anderson home, featuring four rooms downstairs and three upstairs, is believed to be the first wood-framed home in Anchorage.


Golf Anchorage’s golf season may be short, but once it gets going where else can you tee off at 8 p.m. and still play 18 holes? The 2017 Roscoe King Memorial Golf Tournament returns to the site of the 2000 event, Anchorage Golf Course. Located on the lower hillside of South Anchorage, the 6,600-yard course was designed by renowned golf course architect Bill Newcomb. Set in Alaska’s “Anchorage Bowl,” the course is framed by magnificent views of the Chugach Mountain Range, the Anchorage skyline, Cook Inlet, and Denali. Golfers are recommended to wear a collared shirt, tailored pants, shorts or skirt, soft spikes or soft soled shoes.

keynote speaker Lance Mackey was born and raised in Alaska, growing up around dogs — his father, Dick, was one of the competitors in the first Iditarod in 1973 and won the race by one second on his sixth attempt in 1978. Five years later, Mackey’s oldest brother, Rick, won the race similarly on his sixth attempt. It was no coincidence then when Mackey, competing himself for the sixth time in 2007 won the race, either by coincidence or fate doing so wearing the same No. 13 bib worn by his father and brother when they were victorious. Mackey, however, would go on to do something neither of his predecessors could claim, winning the race four consecutive years from 20072010. No other musher in Iditarod history can claim such a streak. Before accomplishing that feat (and amid it), Mackey also won another 1,000-mile race, the Yukon Quest, four consecutive years from 2005-2008, making him the only person on earth with eight 1,000-mile race victories, to have won four consecutive in either race, and to have won the Iditarod and Yukon Quest in the same year. Making this success even more miraculous is that Mackey achieved it after having battled Stage IV throat cancer, which cost him his left index finger and his teeth. Now cancer-free, Mackey has twice been nominated for ESPY Awards, been inducted into the Alaska Sports Hall of Fame, and appeared on sports television programs around the world highlighting his amazing story. “Many see me as an inspiration and a hero,” he says, “to me, however, I’m just a guy who lives on a mountain with my 70 best friends and succeeded in the sport I love in the state in which I was born. I’m a hardworking, ordinary guy; a dog racer, cancer survivor, former commercial fisherman, summer race car driver, and proud father of a new baby boy who has given me yet another reason to give my all in everything I do.” 12

Backflow Protection of Labs, Multi-Station Dental, and Dialysis Equipment (0.2 CEUs) (Concurrent Education) Egan Convention Center Summit Hall 2 (Lower Level) Presented by Sean Cleary

16

The Peak Water Demand study culminated in the design of a Water Demand Calculator (WDC) to address the problem of overestimating and oversizing water supply systems resulting from current practices required by plumbing codes. This session will introduce the calculator and how it can be used to more accurately predict water demand for more accurate pipe sizing. Sizing examples will be provided and the benefits of the Water Demand Calculator for estimating peak water demands will be discussed. Learn how this new calculator can help with reduced construction costs, greater protection from health hazards due to prolonged stagnation and potential microbial (e.g., Legionella contamination, and provision of safe sustainable plumbing systems that encourage water and energy conservation among a broad spectrum of end users.

There has been some debate regarding the proper backflow protection for specialized equipment in labs, multi-station dental, and dialysis equipment installations. This session will discuss the unique issues that need to be considered for these installations and the potential hazards they present. How to properly protect the potable water supply from backflow from these installations and the correct devices to use will be discussed in great detail.

Monday, September 25 3:45 p.m. – 5:15 p.m. Energy Code Requirements for Plumbing and Mechanical Systems (0.2 CEUs) (Concurrent Education) Egan Convention Center Summit Hall 1 (Lower Level) Presented by Roger Fuller

Federal and state adopted energy conservations codes have a common goal of both conserving energy resources now and reducing utility costs during the life of the building. This session will explore the common techniques and differences in how the 2015 UMC and UPC accomplish this same goal. The relationship between the UMC and UPC and the provisions of energy codes will be examined as well as some of the common themes and requirements aimed at energy conservation.

It has become generally accepted that water systems and their customers are vulnerable to terrorist attacks. There are a wide range of vulnerabilities associated with municipal water systems that can easily be damaged or sabotaged through physical destruction, cyber-attack or control, or through the introduction of contamination. We will review how to identify and protect our potable water supplies.

Wednesday, September 27 9 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. Spotting Unlisted Plumbing Products (0.2 CEUs) (Concurrent Education) Egan Convention Center Summit Hall 2 (Lower Level) Presented by Tim Collings
