Group wants to include homeschooled graduates
The Wrangell High School class of 2021 will soon be graduating, with traditional festivities reduced again by the Coronavirus pandemic. Wrangell has a long history of celebrating female graduates and the women who have mothered them. Beta Sigma Phi inherited the tradition from the Wrangell Civic Club years ago and plans to continue it this spring.
We are planning a COVID-safe mother-daughter recognition for April to celebrate our high school seniors. We also want to include homeschool students who have finished or are finishing their high school studies this past year and need your help to identify them. Contact any Beta Sigma Phi member or me directly at rooney@aptalaska.net.

Recall group looks instead to October municipal election
Much research has been completed in the endeavor to recall Mayor Stephen Prysunka. City ordinances have been checked, actions at meetings have been reviewed, and the state Superior Court has been contacted. We as a group feel that our actions are justified even although the city attorney is not in agreement (and rejected our recall petition last month).
The court system is backed up due to the effects of the pandemic, which would leave us sometime into 2022 to have a hearing. This is not what we would consider reasonable to pursue a recall in the courts.
There is of course another avenue of action to take. October of this year will see three openings on the borough assembly: two three-year terms and a one-year term.
