2 stranded hikers, including 1 injured, are rescued on Rainbow Peak Author: Anchorage Daily News
Print article Two hikers were rescued from the Rainbow Peak trail south of Anchorage early Saturday morning after one of them sustained an injury that left them stranded, the Alaska Air National Guard said. They were hoisted up into a rescue helicopter and flown to Providence Alaska Medical Center, arriving just before 1:30 a.m., the Guard said in a statement. An air ambulance company originally attempted to reach the hikers, who were halfway down the trail, but was unable to do so, according to the Guard. The company called the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center, which then requested support from the Alaska Air National Guard’s rescue squadrons. They have the capability to fly in the dark as well as hoist down pararescue personnel to reach survivors, the Guard said.

Among the many people Kodiak recently bade final farewell to are Ellen Ross, Bob Bunsey and Lucien Bernard. All three will be remembered and revered for their vibrant, outspoken faith, which translated into action.
Ellen had a heart for the shut-ins. She and her husband, the late Bill Ross, often visited residents of the long-term Care Center at Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center. They started their ministry in 1984 and kept doing it for 28 years.Â
âWhat I enjoyed most was coming here, seeing these faces and loving them,â Ellen said in an article from the Care Center. âI was here every Sunday except when we were fishing during the summer. There was always a volunteer to fill in if I couldnât make it.â

A man who told one victim Get ready to meet your maker attacked children with a fillet knife early Monday morning at Mountain View Elementary School, slashing and seriously injuring four young boys before he was cornered by teachers and disarmed by police. The attack sent some children screaming into the school and others fighting to protect their classmates. It ended minutes later with dozens of children locked in rooms guarded by teachers. A teacher confronted the assailant in a classroom and used a desk and then a plastic bin to keep the man off a wounded, sobbing boy who lay bleeding on the floor, according to a witness.
