CLEANING UP – Jordan Tanguay, Sitka National Historical Park biologist, right, uses a bilge pump to remove oily water from a stream flowing into Indian River this morning, as Jared Hazel, park maintenance worker, carries out buckets. Tanguay discovered the fuel leak this morning as she walked through the park. She spent the morning helping do mitigation work. The leaked fuel was traced to a 500-gallon tank on private land.

Search for Sitka Hiker Under Way
By SHANNON HAUGLAND
Sentinel Staff Writer
A search started this morning for a 19-year-old Sitka man who was last seen by family members around 11 a.m. Monday in the Indian River neighborhood.
The family of Scott Falzerano Jr. reported him missing to the fire department at 7:30 a.m. today. They said that after he left their Charlie Joseph Street home he didn’t return home as expected, said Sitka Mountain Rescue director Don Kluting.
A search team was dispatched to the Indian River valley – a favorite hunting spot of Falzerano’s – but there were no leads as to his whereabouts by press time today.
Kluting said that Falzerano told family when he left that he was heading into the woods to hide a possession that had been stolen in recent days and that he had recovered on Sunday.
Scott Falzerano is described as 6 feet, 1 inch, tall, with hazel green eyes and sandy blond hair. When he was last seen he was wearing a black hoody and blue jeans, Kluting said.
Kluting said the young man’s family is very concerned about him.
“Hopefully we find him soon,” Kluting said.
Two search dogs and a team of seven volunteers were in the Indian River Valley at press time today. Kluting and other volunteers were also conducting interviews with friends of the missing man for any information on his whereabouts. At press time today, Kluting said, the search team was requesting the help of a helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Sitka.
Anyone who has seen Falzerano since 11 a.m. Monday are asked to call the Sitka Fire Department at 747-3233, or police at 747-3245.
