Homer's Best Bets

They’d all be living closely and have to get along and set aside their differences. Put them on the Homer-Seldovia-Kodiak run on the Kennicott and after a few Gulf of Alaska crossings, they’d be so seasick they might even pass an income tax. They might also come to appreciate this wild and wonderful corner of our planet, a good way to prep for Earth Day activities this weekend. Come home soon, senators and representatives. Your families and friends miss you. It’s time to enjoy this amazing spring, maybe with some fun stuff like these Best Bets:   BEST WE LOVE YOU BET: Show some love for Ma Earth with Earth Day activities this weekend.

Ketchikan recognized as a Coast Guard City

Coast Guard City. ” Ketchikan joins 21 other communities across the country with the moniker, including two others in Alaska: Sitka and Kodiak. The Ketchikan borough, city and chamber of commerce combined efforts to apply for the designation.

Ketchikan is one of the busiest cruise ship ports in the U.S. and is nicknamed the salmon capital of the world, as we rank in the top 20 for commercial fishery landings. None of this would be possible without the brave men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard. “ The Coast Guard presence began in Ketchikan with its Alaska predecessor, the light house service, in 1918.
