The federal government is inching toward an oil and gas lease sale in Cook Inlet, covering about one million acres from the southern end of Kalgin Island down to Augustine Island. 

On the Central Kenai Peninsula, there’s a different kind of sale in progress.

Snow has been dumping around southcentral. If you’re into skiing, snowboarding or snowmachining, you’ve probably been dreaming about getting out into the mountains to enjoy it. 

But with good snow does come avalanche risk. And it is important for recreationists to know what they’re getting into before they head out and up.

At a school board meeting earlier this month, students and educators testified about their experiences with discrimination in the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, catalyzing a larger conversation about supporting students on the LGBTQ+ spectrum.

Today on the program: what supporting LGBTQ+ students looks like.

In this month's Drinking on the Last Frontier, Bill checks in on Cooper Landing Brewing Co. and King Street Brewing, plus food and beer pairing suggestions to help celebrate your holiday meals.
Cheers!

Thanks to Kenai Middle School teacher Brian Lyke and his language arts and drama students for studying the art of storytelling. Students were asked to tell a story about something scary that happened to them. Following are stories KDLL aired during our Fall Membership Drive on Oct. 30.

On this month’s Drinking on the Last Frontier, Bill gets an update on how Fairbanks’ HooDoo Brewing is doing, and a brewery travel guide around the state with Rick VanHatten. Plus, what’s in your desert island six-pack? And a couple of books to bring if you do get stranded.
