This is a special year for the Alaska International Senior Games as the event's senior athlete, Bettie Upright, above left, turns 100 years old this summer. Bettie will be competing at the gala games, bowling and bocce events, as well as the Torchlight Parade on Aug. 7. On her right is fellow bocce competitor Jane Soeten at last year's games.
