while since KMXT has presented a concert, but this weekend, there will be two
shows. Former Alaskan Frank Solivan has brought his bluegrass band "Dirty
Kitchen" back to the state, and is making his last stop here in Kodiak Friday
and Saturday nights. He knows many of Kodiak's bluegrass community well and is
looking forward to bringing his new band back to town.

taxpayers.

The fishing
vessel Kimberly is still hard aground on the Alaska Peninsula coast west of
Kodiak Island. It washed ashore a week and a half ago in heavy icing conditions
and winds reportedly gusting to 100 mph. All four crewmen had to spend the
night on the beach as the storm prevented a Coast Guard helicopter from
reaching them the night of the grounding. They were hoisted the next morning,
suffering from varying stages of hypothermia.
The Alaska
Department of Environmental Conservation reports that staff from Alaska Marine
Surveyors and Magone Marine Services inspected the Kimberly last Friday and
found its hull to be extensively damaged, but without holes in it.
A draft salvage
plan has been submitted by Kimberly owner Aloys Kopun, and is awaiting approval
from the Coast Guard and DEC. The Magone salvage boat Redeemer is in the
vicinity to pull the Kimberly off the beach as soon as weather improves. The
plan is to tow the 57-foot fishing vessel to sheltered waters and then remove
fuel and oils. The boat carries about 3,000 gallons of diesel, 600 gallons of
hydraulic fluid, 70 gallons of lubricating oil and 25 gallons of antifreeze.
The Kimberly is listing, but still upright and water tight, and no spills have
been reported.

Heavy slush
driven by winds gusting to 60 mph whipped Kodiak yesterday, but surprisingly,
there were only two brownouts and one outage in the Kodiak Electric system.
That occurred at 11:30 yesterday morning in Middle Bay along the stretch
between Salt Creek and the American River. It left about 160 KEA customers in
Chiniak and Pasagshak without power until 2:51 this morning.
