A two-and-a-half-year-old bull moose was killed and had its radio collar removed in September. Wildlife Troopers say a man pleaded guilty last week to three misdemeanors in the case.

In collaboration with Triumvirate Theatre, Soldotna High School will be performing the classic musical “The Wizard of Oz.” While the production showcases the talent of local students, it also aims to bring the community together.

Just past downtown Soldotna on the Sterling Highway is a thrift option like no other. BuildUp, Inc. is the only organization on the central Kenai Peninsula that takes in and sells second-hand building materials.

In a finance committee meeting intended to inform the school board and public about different expenditures, members discussed the costs of extracurriculars, pools and theater techs. The school district is facing a large deficit for the second year in a row, and has warned of possible cuts.

The day after Thanksgiving may be best known as Black Friday, but for the central Kenai Peninsula, that day represents the much anticipated Christmas Comes to Kenai celebration. The annual community-building event draws bigger crowds each year.

Congresswoman Mary Peltola hosts a town hall about the proposed Albertsons-Kroger merger, and a man pleads guilty for an illegally hunted moose. Plus, more than 100 students, from elementary age to high school, are putting on the classic musical The Wizard of Oz starting tomorrow at Soldotna High School.

The Kenai Peninsula School District faces another year with a budget deficit. And, the Homer City Council passes a resolution supporting the continuation of the city’s Harbor Expansion feasibility study. Plus, moose with a rare hoof disorder are most commonly found on the Kenai Peninsula.

Our guest this week is James Hornstein, programmer for the Anchorage International Film Festival.
