SB 358-NAMING STATE FERRIES CHAIRMAN COWDERY said he did not know if members had an opportunity to read the packet and noted that school children did a good job writing essays for the contest. One winner of the contest selected the name "Fairweather." Wesley Tyrrell's essay contained a pretty good analogy. "Chenega" was the other winning name. That ferry will be named after the Chenega Glacier. SB 358 is a piece of legislation to make those choices legal. MS. KELLY HUBER, staff to Senate President Rick Halford, explained the bill was introduced through the Senate Rules Committee as a formality. Senate President Halford and House Speaker Porter, as well as Lieutenant Governor Ulmer, judged the contest. To make the process legal and name the next two ferries on the production line "Fairweather" and "Chenega," a bill must go through the legislative process and be signed by the Governor. MS. HUBER informed the committee that many very good essays were submitted. The essays were interesting and children from all over the state participated. CHAIRMAN COWDERY said he had a chance to read the essays and was very impressed. He asked if there was anyone else to testify. [No response.] SENATOR WARD moved SB 358 from committee with individual recommendations. There being no objection, the motion carried.
