Oil Spill Anniversary Observed in Alaska
Demonstrators here put feathers on an effigy of an oilman Saturday and chalked images of sea creatures on the median in front of Alyeska Pipeline Service Co., which operates the oil pipeline that supplied the crude oil carried on the Exxon Valdez.
In Cordova, fishermen whose livelihoods were threatened by the oil spill marked the first anniversary of the disaster with a community breakfast of sourdough waffles.
In Homer, another fishing town, a potluck gathering was serenaded by folk singers who sang about ecological topics.
A Kodiak group called the Crude Women met to plan strategy for legislative lobbying for federal and state toxic spill bills.
