While some participants on reality shows accuse producers of cutting and slicing minute pieces in such a cutthroat way as to make the final cut overly dramatic, the Andersons say TLC didn’t have to do that: Their life is that dramatic.
Thursday, TLC premieres the Breckenridge family’s real-life commercial fishing business in Alaska, and the family admits TLC didn’t have to manipulate its “characters” to deliver a compelling seven-week series that depicts the extreme highs and lows of commercial fishing in Alaska — and some of the tense family dynamics accompanying the Anderson’s family business.

By Gary Lidholm, on February 20th, 2011  Marnie Rasmussen (34) is high scorer at the last girls home game There was a lot of talk around the 3A schools in Southeast about the strength of the Mt. Edgecumbe boys basketball team and that strength was evident in how they easily handled the Haines boys over the weekend. But it would remain to be seen how strong the girls team was when they came to Haines for the season’s last home game stand.
The Lady Glacier Bears were not intimidated at all and cruised to easy victories. At one point in Friday night’s game they had a 32 point lead before turning the court over to the subs who finished it out in the 4th quarter with a 64-52 final score. As is often the case, Abby Jones was the high scorer with 24 points. Amy Messerschmidt and Marnie Rasmussen each had 10. Read more->

But if the Glacier Bears were hoping unsteady sea legs would slow the Wolves on the court, they were badly mistaken.
Sitka handily won the series in both varsity and junior varsity play. In varsity play, the Glacier Bears seemed plagued by turn-overs both nights. Each night Haines started strong only to lose momentum from the second quarter on. Read more->
