Chugiak

Service's 42-7 win over Dimond on Saturday was enough to put them at the top of this week's Alaska Sports Broadcasting Netowrk Football Poll.

Juneau jumps into the poll as well with a 2-0 record.  South's riveting win agianst Bartlett on a late two-point conversion threw the Wolverines in the poll, while Bartlett's loss dropped the Golden Bears down from number one to number five.

A longtime Chugiak store owner is leaving quite a legacy. Hundreds of items from Art Wallace's estate were auctioned off Saturday afternoon at the Egan Center, with all the proceeds benefiting Alaska's Healing Hearts . The organization helps military members from all branches of the service recover from post war trauma by providing outdoor activities free of charge. "I want everyone out there to understand, and know that we try to make sure that even grandmas' quarters are taken care of," said Healing Hearts organizer Dan  McDowell.  "We want to make sure every donation goes to help the battle weary and battle wounded.

One race was a runaway; the other a cliffhanger. Service's Silas Talbot and Kinsey Loan of Chugiak captured individual victories at Friday's Cook Inlet Conference cross-country skiing championship meet at Kincaid Park.  Talbot won the boys 10K race with a time of 29:41.3, finishing nearly 45 seconds faster than Service teammate Peter Mamrol. Three Cougars placed in the top four.  Loan's victory was much closer. The Chugiak skier clipped Dimond's Marion Woods by just 1.6 seconds for the girls 7.5-kilometer win. South High finished the day atop the team standings with three girls in the top six.  Racing took place on fresh snow, which turned out to be Loan's liking.

There was a persistent "ping" sound at Mulcahy Stadium on Friday for round one of the double elimination State American Legion Baseball Tournament.  25 runs were scored in the first two games.  In the opener, seventh seeded Kenai defeated Bartlett, 8-6.  Brian Rowe went 3 for 4 for the Twins, who scored the go-ahead run on an error in the bottom of the seventh inning. Eighth-seeded Chugiak got off to a thundering start versus West, the number nine seed.  The Mustangs scored five runs in the top of the first inning en route to a 9-2 victory.  Conner Cimmiyotti drove in four runs in his first two at-bats, and Cameron Fritz delivered three RBI's for Chugiak.

In a match reminiscent of their classic 2008 state final, Dimond outlasted Chugiak 22-25, 25-22, 25-23, 18-25, 16-14 to reach the finals of the Cook Inlet Conference volleyball tournament. The Lynx will play South in the title match. The unbeaten Wolverines downed Eagle River in three games, 25-11, 25-11, 25-16. The CIC will send three teams to next week's state tournament. The Mustangs and Wolves face off for that third seed at 4 p.m. Saturday. The Lynx and Wolverines follow at 6 p.m. Both matches are at Service High School.

Devon Bookert scored 19 points to lead the West Eagles to a 70-50 rout of Chugiak in Tuesday night Cook Inlet Conference basketball play.  The victory was an important one for the Eagles, who entered the evening tied with Service and Bartlett atop the league standings, all sporting 7 and 2 records. Elsewhere in the CIC, Dimond's boys and girls swept East.  Luke Adams made 11 of 14 field goals for 22 points in the boys 56-51 win.  The Lady Lynx blew out the T-Birds, 86-38.

by Channel 2 News staff Friday, July 9, 2010 ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- An Eagle River man has been arrested for possession of child pornography. Johnathon Nichol, 25, was arrested in Chugiak after an online investigation. In June, a concerned person made a report to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children after seeing a posting on a website for expecting mothers, asking for advice after a woman found child pornography on her husband's computer. The user listed her home state as Alaska, and the Anchorage Police Department Cyber Crime Unit traced the posting to an address in Eagle River.
