Chapman Elementary School students were evacuated this morning after a gas smell was reported on campus; the Homer City Council held its final meeting of 2025 last night; and a new report from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game shows the value of Cook Inlet’s commercial sockeye salmon fishery almost doubled this year compared to last year.

For 35 years, we’ve connected generosity to community need on the southern Kenai Peninsula, providing more than six million dollars in local grants and scholarships.
