Overtime: UAA should consider soccer, swimming team additions
29 July 2010
Passing through the Wells Fargo Sports Complex recently, I stopped outside the swimming pool viewing area. After watching one youth swimmer splash about for a short time, I came across a question that may have puzzled others passing by.

Antibiotic resistant gonorrhea could be in Alaska
