The Kenai Peninsula Economic Development District gets its funding from a number of different sources but the state isn’t one of them — lucky for them, given the governor’s proposed bare-bones budget. We find out more on this week's Econ 919.

On the Kenai Conversation this week we talk about opioid addiction and how to use the tools to fight overdoses. Host Jay Barrett welcomes Fred Koski, the addictions program coordinator for Peninsula Community Health Services, and Sherra Pritchard, a public health nurse with the Kenai Public Health Center. Both are involved with a monthly community education series of lectures.

Soldotna Dr. Kristin Mitchell recently returned from a three-week journey to Antarctica with the Homeward Bound program. Find out about the leadership collaboration between women working in STEMM and about what to pack for a journey from the far north to the far south (hint: don't take advice from an Australian).

Join host Bill Howell on this month’s Drinking on the Last Frontier for a report from Frozen River Fest, a visit with Gakona Brewing Company and an apples-to-pears comparison of ciders and perries. Cheers!
