Skagway will be indefinitely without state ferry service after cracks were discovered in its ferry terminal last week.

Engineers first discovered cracks in concrete supports under the vehicle and passenger transfer bridges last Thursday. The dock was closed two days later, after the M/V Hubbard completed its Saturday docking at the facility, the state's Department of Transportation said in a Sunday press release.

Will Steinfeld explains the damage and what it means for people traveling between Skagway, Haines and Juneau via the ferry. In this week's edition you can find stories about: Steve Kroschel's return to the United States from Russia, profiles on some of the Haines Borough School District's new teachers and a police officer who withdrew his application.
