Jarvela Praised
By Owen On Near
Island Bridge Bill
Rep. Gil Jarvela was highly
praised by Sen. A1 Owen who came
through Kodiak from Juneau this
week enroute to his home at West
Point on Uganik Bay.
“Gil did an excellent job in the
legislature and he is due great
credit in getting the Near Island
bridge study off the hook in the
House,” said Owen.
“The resolution is the first step
in the process of getting the bridge
built . . . this calls for the first
phase, a feasibility study,” Owen
explained.
According to the Uganik Senator,
the matter had no trouble in the
Senate but faced considerable hos
tility and opposition in the House
which he gave Jarvela credit for
overcoming successfully.
