On Valentine’s Day, the new cruise dock float was scheduled to be delivered to Skagway’s Ore Dock Redevelopment Project. Measuring 500 by 50 feet, the float traveled from Anacortes. But, as KHNS’s Melinda Munson reports, disaster struck near Ketchikan when the float broke into three pieces. Borough Manager Brad Ryan said that while unexpected, the incident should not stop Ore Dock from being completed by its May deadline.
And, Tuesday morning was the Championship round for Haines school’s Tournament of the Readers. Only two teams were still standing after a nearly month-long tournament that comprised of eight teams. The Tournament is open to grades three through eight. As KHNS’s Jenn Shelton reports, the battle for the crown was between a third grade team, The Wild Readers, against an undefeated team of sixth graders, The Literary Llamas.
