1101 9r 169. 5 Survivor: 28 Perished In Snap Of A Finger By BILL BLAYLOCK Bee Staff YUBA CITY Writer. Kimberly Kenyon guesses she's pretty lucky. "The telephone has been ringing since 6 o'clock this morning. People have brought me gifts, flowers and everyone's been so nice.

I don't really know why I'm the lucky one. I guess I was just being watched over." Kimberly, a Yuba City High School junior and one of more than 50 students aboard the illfated bus which plunged off a freeway ramp Friday near Martinez killing 28, was the first to return home. Lying on a couch in her dimly lit living room, Kim says she still feels "pretty sore." "I can't bend my leg because of the cast. The doctors say I've got lacerations and bruises and a puncture wound near the back of my head." Kimberly, 16, who sang with the school's a cappella choir which was en route to a song festival in Orinda, Contra Costa County, says she's glad to be back with her family. Only gradually is she beginning to reconstruct what has happened to her.

"We were all just sitting on the bus talking and laughing really having a good time. But I knew something had started to go wrong when I heard a scream from the girl in front of me. "It happened just like that," she demonstrates with a gentle snap of her fingers. "I was sitting over the rear wheel, closest to the window, and could hear the sound of glass shattering and the screech of metal twisting. "I don't think I was ever unconscious.

It suddenly became very quiet. At first I didn't even know I was upside down," she related carefully. "After about five minutes, I guess it was, I decided to grab on to a pole and pull my legs out from under a seat. I was climbing over people. The rest of them began to come to but it was so quiet.

All I could hear was a lot of soft moans and muffled voices. Some kids whispered 'help I guess I pulled myself out after 15 minutes." Dorian Kephart, 15, was also one of the lucky ones. She had planned to join the choir at Orinda but decided to stay home at the last minute to do homework and catch up on her math. "She had always gone on the trips before," explains her mother. "But it was her idea to stay home.

I had no reservations about her going. She made the decision." Mr. and Mrs. Kephart had been active in school activities and particularly the school choir. They had chaperoned the students on a similar song festival two months earlier to Portland, Ore.

Students traveled by bus on that trip, too, but the Kepharts said on that trip everything had gone smoothly. "Dorian has many thoughts right now but she has said very little," says Mrs. Kephart. "She's mostly stayed in her room. She's really dreading school Monday because everyone knows that she might have been on that Mrs.

Kephart, like most parents of children in the crash, says she assumed the choir was traveling on one of the school's buses and was surprised to learn that a 26-year-old charter had taken them. The bus, a 1950 Crown, belonged to the Student Transportation Lines Inc. of Marysville. School officials say charter buses were frequently used, especially near the end of the school term when there were many student activities. "It's not uncommon," says the school district's director of administration services, George Bravos.

Trustees of the school have decided that classes for its 2,400 students will be held as scheduled Monday. But they say arrangements have been made to spend most of the morning discussing the accident with students. An aid fund for survivors and victims was set up yesterday at the Sacramento Savings and Loan in Yuba City. Other funds are being arranged. Most of the city's events originally planned for this weekend have been cancelled.

A community memorial service has been scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday at the Yuba City High School football stadium. By late yesterday afternoon, local funeral arrangements for many of those who died had been set. A joint service for six of the victims, Joanne A.

HURST Bee Staff Writer The Embarcadero's chimneystudded, brick-and-masonry skyline gets its annual Jericho test next weekend when performers and fans from all over the country gather for, the 1976 Old Sacramento Dixieland Jubilee. First staged by the Sacramento Traditional Jazz Society only two years ago and already gaining national notice, the Memorial Day weekend event promises 67 hours of nonstop music, counting all-night jam. sessions, from 41 bands and some 300 musicians. They're coming from all over California and from places like Florida, Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. And that doesn't include the players who will be arriving unannounced, hoping to "sit in" somewhere; for one of the joys of Dixieland jazz is that it's as much fun to play as to hear.

Nor does the count include the score or so of Jubilee "stars" among them Billy Butterfield, Pete Daily, John Guarnieri, Connie Haines, Wingy Manone, Jess Stacy and George Van Eps who will be making concert appearances together and, singly, sitting in with other bands at cabaret sessions during the Jubilee's four-day run. Next weekend's music will be happening at 13 sites within the freeway -girded Old Sacramento Historic Area, at four other sites downtown and at two the Marina Inn tent and the Hotel El Rancho across the river in West Sacramento. The effect along the covered sidewalks of Old Sacramento ought to be something like an audiophile's convention at full cry, with strains of Dixieland and Swing pouring from doorways and alleys and echoing off buildings to mingle in the spring air. Last year's Jubilee drew more than 20,000 fans, and a like number is expected this year to hear the kind of jazz affectionately called "twobeat music" that took shape in New Orleans, picked up some of Chicago's brash and brawl and dominated the popular music of the '20s, '30s and '40s before giving way to modern jazz and to rock. Admission to each cabaret is $1 a donation to the sponsoring jazz society for Jubilee expenses.

Or an all-cabaret badge, for $5 will gain admission to all. Similarly, the concerts are $5 for evening sessions, $3 for afternoons; and a $17.50 badge will provide admission to all and to the cabarets as well. Limited reserved seating space at the concerts already has been sold, says Jubilee chairman Bill Borcher. He reports that of some 1,500 advance ticket orders so far, only about 200 are from the Sacramento area itself. Locally, tickets can be purchased in advance at any Shakey's Pizza Parlor or by telephoning Jubilee officials at 483-8661.

The Jubilee badges also are good for transportation on the Jubilee's special trams, buses that will run from Old Sacramento to either downtown or West Sacramento spots at 10-minute intervals.
