AP FILE PHOTO BY James Poulson/Daily Sitka Sentinel                                 The bronze statue of 19th century Russian America Governor Alexander Baranov sports a hard hat and a reflective vest, after being moved from its original site in front of Centennial Hall in Sitka in February 2013.

The effort has already resulted in the statue of Baranov being taken out of public view in the city.
