POWER LINE OUTAGE
Tom Hurd, Soldotna manager
of Homer Electric Assoc., said
HEA had three crews working
around the clock from 9 p.m. Sat
urday to 9 p.m. Sunday making
repairs after innumerable trees
had blown down and damaged dis
tribution and service lines.
Most of the trouble seemed to
have been concentrated in the
North Kenai area and south of
Soldotna in the area between Ka
silof and Soldotna. It was not
limited to those areas, however,
and many other calls were made
Concert
Board
Elected
The newly organized Central
Peninsula Concert Assoc., which
met Tuesday night in Kenai Cen
tral High School, elected a seven
member Board of Directors. Mem
bers are Mrs. Jessie Munson,
Conrad Potter, Mrs. Jack Lewis
and Call Zehrung, all of Kenai;
Thane Curry, Ninilchik; Mrs.
Richard D. Allen, Wildwood Sta
tion, and Mrs. Harry Reger, Sol
dotna.
Officers of the Concert Assoc.
■Will he elected from within the
board membership at a meeting
to be called probably next week.
Approximately 30 persons were
present to attend the business
session and to see the film fea
turing Leonard Bernstein and the
New York Philharmonic Sym
phony Orchestra at their concert
in the Tchaikowski Concert Hall
in Moscow, Russia.
The Central Peninsula Concert
Assoc, hopes first to establish the
organization on a firm footing
and to bring the area programs
of Alaska music talent.
The ultimate goal of the Assoc
iation is to sponsor Alaska Music
Trail Series in the area in 1964.
before service was resumed.
“We regret that such outages
occur but they were really beyond
our control. HEA spent approxi
maaely $10,000 during 1962 in an
attempt to eliminate the danger
trees along the line. We evidently
just didn’t pick the right trees!’’
Hurd said.
The local manager added that
any outage or disruption of ser
vice should be reported as soon
as possible. Many persons were
out of service more time than
would have been necessary had
they reported the outage. Hurd
said he realized sometimes it is
practically impossible for persons
in outlying areas to report power
failure, especially if there is no
phone available or if transporta
tion is not convenient at the time.
Such reports, however, should
be relayed on to the company if
at all possible not only for the
benefit of the workmen but also
for other consumers who may
have a similar lack of power.
Tar paper and aluminum sheet
ing were reportedly torn from
roofs of many buildings and small
outbuildings were blown over
during the same period.
Juvenile Winners
In Oil Paintings
Judging of one classification in
the Kenai Peninsula Arts and
Crafts Show was inadvertently
omitted last week in the report
of the fourth annual event. Win
ners were not listed for the juv
enile division in oil paintings.
Susan Adams, Soldotna, with
her painting “Winter Range” re
ceived first place honors and her
“Desert Trio” ranked in second
place. “Winter Range” was also
selected by popular vote for se
cond place rating in all juvenile
arts.
Honorable mention in the same
classification went to Warren
Ames, Kenai, for his painting
“Hard Winter” and to Darrell
Kipp, also of Kenai, for his “Sha
dow in the Night.” A total of
eight oil paintings were entered
in the juvenile division.
