Downtown Sitka and Japonski Island lost power for more than five hours Saturday morning after a 30-year-old distribution line failed near Seward Street, city officials said today.
The power went out at 6:55 a.m., and was restored section by section, finally reaching all customers downtown at 12:05 p.m., said utility Director Chris Brewton.

Colliver donated the money after her business, Colliver Shoes, borrowed the truck to use during Moonlight Madness. The truck is in need of an estimated $20,000 worth of restoration work, Swearingen said.
