Locals flocked to Shoemaker Park over the weekend to participate in the Second Annual CAS Walk. The Walk was organized by the Hammer family in an effort to raise awareness about Childhood Apraxia of Speech also known as CAS. One of the Hammers' son, Carter, was diagnosed with the rare disorder several years ago. KSTK's Tony Gorman visited Carter and the Hammer family as well as attended the Walk and filed this report.

This week, Megan Clark returned to Wrangell to head up the museum at the James and Elsie Nolan Center. She is no stranger to the local museum. Clark had previous stints during her high school and college days with the Nolan Center before taking over as director/curator. KSTK's Tony Gorman has more.

Wrangell's biggest attraction was another success. Questionable weather conditions and slow ticket sales didn't stop locals and visitors from enjoying this year's Fourth of July Celebration. KSTK's Tony Gorman takes a look back at the event.

This week, Krissy Smith was appointed to the Wrangell School Board. Smith has experience working with children through her day care center. She fills a vacant seat left by former School Board President Georgianna Buhler, who resigned earlier this year.

Wrangell Medical Center's newest employee is looking to carry on the work for his predecessor. Korre Pieper came to WMC in February to do fill-in work for then-physical therapist Dr. Ron Chadwick. He signed on full-time when Chadwick left in May for a job in Oregon. KSTK's Tony Gorman went over to WMC to talk about his experiences before coming to Wrangell and his goals for his new job.
