The LeConte began a four-day-per-week shuttle between Wrangell and Ketchikan on Saturday, relieving fears of travlers that their cars might be stranded. According to the latest reports, it will be several months until the Ketchikan ferry dock, destroyed when the Columbia accidentally reversed while tied to it 10 days ago, can be repaired. According to the most recent information, the LeConte will shuttle between Ketchikan and Wrangell Saturday through Tuesday each week. It will run “when possible and necessary,” according to an official communication from the Alaska Marine Highway office in Juneau. The LeConte will maintain its regular Juneau-to-Sitka run during the other three days a week, according to plans. The LeConte has a capacity of 40 to 45 vehicles and was fully booked for its first four shuttles between Wrangell and Ketchikan, which takes six hours one way.

The Wrangell High School cross-country team participated with nine other Southeast schools in the first meet of the 2000 season at the Ketchikan Invitational at Ward Lake on Aug. 26. According to coach Monty Buness, we were short of a full team but still “it was a good showing.” The athletes are required to have 10 practices completed in order to travel and compete in regional play. Due to summer vacations several students missed the eligibility standard. Wrangell was joined by Sitka, Klawock and Craig in lacking full rosters. The Wolves were represented by seven runners – four girls and three boys. Wrangell’s Kaelene Wilson and David Wilson placed in the top five against Division 3A schools. “I was particularly impressed with Kristie Brown’s performance as a freshman in her first race. She ran steady and intelligently,” Buness said.
