Carlee Heinmiller said mirrors and other objects fell from her walls at University of Alaska-Anchorage during a 4.9-scale earthquake Monday centered southwest of the city. Carlee is a freshman business and design major who walked onto the women’s volleyball team. She’s red-shirted this year, meaning she practices with the team but likely won’t compete until next year. A lefty, Heinmiller’s a bonus for the team’s right side. "She already said she can’t wait to get back and show me everything she’s learned," said mom Judy Erekson, Haines’ volleyball coach. "The game gets a lot more technical at (the college) level."

Kelly Hostetler’s
big support on her Golden Circle run was husband Les. He logged about 200 miles, running alongside for many legs of the journey after having to miss Kelly’s first two days out of Skagway. was sent to Juneau Sept. 8 for an appendectomy, just one week before classmate Zeke Frank had his appendix removed. Dalton called mom Faith Tuohy, who was in Juneau for work. She took him seriously when he started talking about his appendix, and after a doctor’s confirmation in Haines, grandmother Gerri Dearent accompanied Dalton to Juneau and the appenedix came out the same night. Faith said all Dalton’s friends at school thought he was faking it, and later were worried that appendicitis might be contagious. The timing was fortuitous because Dalton is on the wrestling team and should make a full recovery before that season starts.
