In reply to Game Over: 1949: Must've been a disappointing game for the kid sprawled over on the right, glaring daggers at the little guy clutching a pole. He should have a refreshing bowl of Kellogg's Corn Flakes when he gets home and remind himself that that's baseball.

Cordova gets a tough lesson in COVID-19 transmission — from its police chief March 2, 2021
The story starts with the police chief returning from an out-of-state trip and, instead of quarantining, coaching a wrestling practice. It ends with roughly 10% of Cordova residents in quarantine, school closures and a U.S. Coast Guard cutter aborting a supply mission because some of its crew members were exposed.
