(WERE) WOLFF DRIVE – Tammy and Chris Mattingly set up seasonal decorations in front of their Wolff Drive house today. The couple began erecting the elaborate set in September. Decorations include 12-foot-tall skeletons, giant spiders, witches and lights. At night images are projected on the gable end of the house.  Sitkans are getting into the Halloween spirit this weekend with the Sitka Sound Science Center hosting a haunted aquarium tonight from 6 to 8 p.m. (Sentinel Photo)

50 YEARS AGO

October 1974

Alaska Native Brotherhood Camp 1 honored four youth baseball coaches Monday: Jon Calhoun, John Abbott Jr., Louise Nichols and Bill Howey, awarding them Sitka ANB club jackets. Mrs. Nichols was the first woman to coach a male athletic team in Sitka since Ora Kuykendall cranked out champion basketball teams at Sheldon Jackson School in the 1930s through the 1940s.
