20 YEARS AGO

October 2004

The Sitka High School baseball, softball, football and football cheerleading programs got a boost Tuesday when the School Board unanimously approved $17,000 in coaching stipends for the sports. The programs, which were started by community members and hadn’t received district funding before, will remain responsible for paying their own travel expenses.

50 YEARS AGO

October 1974

Fitzgerald, sponsored by A&T Enterprises, eliminated six other autos in the final championship jousting. Tex Armer, also of A&T, was second and Bud Niesen was third.
