Friday is the Kodiak Arts Council’s third First Friday Art Walk. Kate Helligso is the program coordinator for the council and said February’s walk won’t feature as many locations as there have been in the past.
This time, however, Helligso said the arts council is teaming up with the Kodiak Public Library Association to put on an "altered book show" as part of the walk.
Kelly Longrich helps plan events for KPLA and said the intent behind the show was to inspire different kinds of creativity from the community.
Erin Harrington is the chair of the association and said the altered book show will hopefully encourage community members to think of new ways to recycle or repurpose their old books.
The show will be judged according to five different categories, including people’s choice. Those interested in casting a ballot for that category need only stop by the auditorium foyer starting at 5 p.m. The altered book show is just one venue to check out. Harborside Fly-By, Northern Exposure Gallery and the Baranov Museum are also participating and will feature local artists’ work. The walk will wrap around 7 p.m.

Friday night Kodiak community members will have an opportunity to dabble into their detective instincts while helping a local nonprofit organization. Katie Johnston is the development officer for Hope Community resources and said money raised during the Kodiak murder mystery, auction and dinner will stay in Kodiak.
She said the money goes toward programs for community members with disabilities, or helping meet individual needs.
Johnston said this year’s “murder” takes place in Maui, and event attendees will have to solve the mystery using clues given throughout the evening. Johnston said a cast of characters will interact with the audience before and after dinner, and also act out scenes and conversations that hint at who the murderer is.
Tickets cost $50, and include the dinner, auction and show. Johnston said tickets are available online at hope Alaska dot org. The night kicks off at 6 p.m. on Friday at the Kodiak Convention Center.

The Royal Dutch Shell drilling rig Kulluk remains stable in Kiliuda Bay and continues to undergo engineering analysis. In an email update sent yesterday, the Unified Command said tow equipment for the vessel has been secured and is currently in Kodiak.
All openings on the Kulluk, including windows and hatches, are also secured and in some cases sealed shut with temporary steel structures to keep the vessel water and weather tight. The UC also said it is working in close collaboration with Old Harbor Native Corporation to develop plans for life boat debris clean up in the surrounding waters and shoreline.
Navel architects have also confirmed that the damage sustained by the grounding of the Kulluk does not pose a threat to the stability or integrity of the vessel while it waits in Kiliuda Bay. The UC and Shell are now working to determine the best course of action to relocate the Kulluk for permanent repairs.
The Kulluk was under tow across the Gulf of Alaska ran hard aground on Sitkalidak Island, near Old Harbor, on New Year’s Eve.

A long-time Kodiak attorney, and then judge, was appointed Friday to the Alaska Supreme Court by Governor Parnell. Joel Bolger, who currently sits as an Alaska Court of Appeals judge, replaces Walter Carpeneti, who has retired.
In 1978, Bolger began his legal career in Alaska as a VISTA volunteer in Dillingham, and later with Alaska Legal Services in Kodiak. After serving as an assistant public defender in Barrow, he returned to Kodiak to join the firm of Jamin Ebell Bolger and Gentry, where he handled both civil and criminal defense cases.
In 1997, Bolger was appointed to the bench as a district court judge in Valdez, followed by an appointment to the Superior Court back in Kodiak. Since 2008, he has served as a Court of Appeals judge in Anchorage.
The five-member Alaska Supreme Court hears cases in Anchorage on a monthly basis and in Fairbanks and Juneau quarterly.
