DermotColeTHE FESTIVAL OF Native Arts, a student-run effort that brings hundreds of Native dancers to Fairbanks every March, is looking for financial help to put on this year’s event, festival coordinator Dena Ivey said.The budget is about $30,000, but organizers have only been able to raise a fraction of that amount so far, she said.The dancers pay their own transportation or they get grants to cover those expenses, she said. Funds donated to the festival help pay for housing, meals, printing costs, local transportation and telephones.Last year there were 20 dance groups and 40 artisans at the event. The festival has been a tradition for nearly a quarter-century and it draws standing-room-only crowds at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.For more information contactIvey at 474-6889.BROADCASTER PETE VAN NORT, who has worked at KIAK almost continuously starting in 1974, is witnessing the seventh sale of that enterprise since his employment began.As part of a $60 million radio deal to buy 20 stations, Capstar Broadcasting Partners of Dallas announced Tuesday that it has purchased KIAK-AM, KIAK-FM and Magic FM in Fairbanks.Van Nort said it is expected to take nine to 12 months to complete the transaction with current owners Comco Broadcasting.
