K...The complainers need to rethink their positions. Kjetil knows how to run the plant and should. Sure, he made some bad business decisions in the past but Drevik International will probably be making the business decisions - why else would they get involved? So what if Kjetil will be doing the day to day operations? <br /><br />We need to look at The Aleut Corporation. Why haven't they been putting the money that they were supposed to under their lease (read it in the bankruptcy file)back into the island? They want to get rid of the lease so they cut the island out. Read it. The Aleut Corporation was supposed to dedicate the money it got from Adak Fisheries to "Economic Development projects on Adak." Where have those been?<br /><br />Let's put pressure on The Aleut Corporation to do the right thing and give Adak Seafood a new lease or the old one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-73271766980635320822009-10-17T10:45:06.391-08:002009-10-17T10:45:06.391-08:00does anyone know what is going to happen? it sound...does anyone know what is going to happen? it sounds like kjetil and some partners are going to buy the plant and open it for business. That must be a good thing, right?<br />is anyone else out there going to do that?<br />is anyone else going to try to buy it and run it? <br />someone said trident was good for adak in 2008.

From their perspective, I'm sure that's a good thing: people in the houses, kids in the school, and fish for the plant.<br /><br />Nonetheless, such an exlusive privilege isn't necessarily a good thing in the big picture. Realistically, small boats can't harvest all the fish that are out there to be had. <br /><br />On top of it all...they'd keep coming back for more. There were numerous deals/compromises struck between the industry and Adak/Clem...and a year later, Clem/Adak were back asking for more. That's no way to do business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-90757866206449359042009-10-16T13:59:24.328-08:002009-10-16T13:59:24.328-08:00I think Deeplypissedatkjetil's real name is Tr...I think Deeplypissedatkjetil's real name is Trident. or aleutian spray fish. definately someone who doesn't know the history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-39709974404003911292009-10-16T13:13:53.730-08:002009-10-16T13:13:53.730-08:00The idea that Kjetil has helped Adak is laughable....The idea that Kjetil has helped Adak is laughable. The plant may look like an economic engine, but with Kjetil's tendency to pay his bills late or never, it sure didn't help the community. How much does he owe right now in back taxes to the City of Adak? How much is owed for diesel fuel and electricity? Kjetil has nearly killed the city by running up huge bills and refusing to pay them. Everyone else ended up supporting his lavish lifestyle. He has been jetsetting for years while the rest of us waited for our money.<br /><br />Kjetil had huge back bills long before that Trident processor showed up. That processor was a godsend to the fishing fleet. Trident pays all of its bills on time.DeeplyPissedatKjetilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-29064329112532596842009-10-16T10:57:33.586-08:002009-10-16T10:57:33.586-08:00Go Kjetil!

TDX power probably won't sell them any power, The Aleut Corp stated in court that they would not agree to negotiate in good faith with Adak Seafood over the building lease, and it is doubtful if they could even obtain a business license after the treatment the citizens of Adak received from Kjetil over the years. There's over 270 listed creditors in this bankruptcy, few of whom have had a chance yet to weigh in on this sorry deal.<br /><br />It's not over yet.<br /><br />signed PO'ed in AdakAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-84421332121592390302009-10-15T10:15:28.978-08:002009-10-15T10:15:28.978-08:00The debtor motion actually opposes the bank's ...The debtor motion actually opposes the bank's sale proposal, not agrees with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-33284793060497232962009-10-15T09:55:15.589-08:002009-10-15T09:55:15.589-08:00NO!
