Keesecker ATV2011 EV/LSV Electric Polaris Rangers

“We have decided to sell our two Polaris EV Rangers.  This is a great rental business here in Seldovia who wants to generate a little extra cash.  The units are model year 2011 and have around 100 hours each on them.  New cost was $14,200 each.  We will sell them both for $18,000.  We have all forms for renting the vehicles and information on insurance requirements, etc.

We would also consider selling the vehicles individually for $9,000 each if you are not interesting in renting them.  They are in great shape and run like new!”

For more information on the home/business or the Polaris Rangers, please contact the owners directly:

SAC Kicks off the 2013 Season

| May 17, 2013 | 0 Comments

SAC_TrioFlierThe Seldovia Arts Council (SAC) is kicking off its busy 2013 summer/fall season with a free “Members Reception” at the Stranik’s residence on the Boardwalk on Saturday June 1st at 7:00 pm. Come and renew your membership or join SAC this evening and enjoy the relaxing string music of the Areté Trio featuring Emily Grossman on the violin, Kate McVey on the viola and Kevin Charlestream on the cello.

A native Tulsan, violinist Emily Grossman has been energetically involved with the Alaskan musical community since 2004.  When she’s not teaching in her private studio in Soldotna or performing with the Anchorage Symphony, she prefers focusing primarily on chamber music.

SAC_TrioAreteLeaving behind a busy childhood of soloing as a concert cellist, Kevin Charlestream moved to Anchorage from Gloucester MA to accept a job as an aircraft technician and now teaches privately while enjoying as much chamber music as possible.

A born-and-raised Alaskan, Kate McVey studied viola performance under the direction of Dr. Juliet White-Smith at the University of Northern Colorado at Greeley. Since graduating in 2006, she returned to her hometown and plays in both the Anchorage Symphony and Anchorage Opera Orchestras, in addition to recently recording her debut album as a solo artist.

This is a sign that summer is almost here! (I know it did snow in Homer today!)   The City of Seldovia has partnered with the Department of Transportation for a street sweeper to come to Seldovia to clean up our main streets to welcome our summer season.  Thanks to George Oliveira, Carl High and the Homer DOT office for coordinating this effort for Seldovia!  Thanks so much!

The sweeper will be on the early morning ferry Sunday Morning the 19th, and will be working all day Sunday and all day Monday until the job is done!  The sweeper has to head back to Homer on Tuesday, so time is of the essence!  Please keep the streets clear from  8:00am to 5:00pm on both days.  Please make sure all vehicles, trailers, etc. are removed from the paved streets of Seldovia so that the sweeper can do the job in the most expeditious manner possible, as we only have those two days!   (We don’t want to have to go around your vehicle like this picture above!!)

 This is also notice to those who have issues with dust to prepare for two days of activity cleaning the downtown streets of Seldovia.
