SLAM DUNK UPGRADES – Sitka Parks and Rec Coordinator Kevin Knox assembles a new backboard at the outdoor basketball court next to Blatchley Middle School Thursday afternoon. The new backboards were purchased with grants from the Sitka Recreation Foundation and Baranof Ballers. Sitka artist Will Peterson, X̱út’aa Hídi, designed the formline huskies now on two backboards at the court. Recent upgrades at the court include new court lines, including ones for pickleball; rims and nets; and fabric screens on the chain link fence to block out some of the weather.

From On the Go: We don’t want to let the season pass without a word of appreciation for what has become a Sitka tradition: the pre-Christmas caroling cruise of the decorated ALP tug Alapul. Mill Manager George Gouker poits out that quite a lot of planning and effort go into the event, which is purely a voluntary thing with the tug skipper and crew. So thanks, fellows, for a really nice holiday treat.
