Re-viewing the Bay via the Reber Trail
Many people first entering Homer talk about the view from the top of Baycrest Hill, marvel at the glaciers visible across the Bay, or take in the many spectacular sights on the entire trip down East End Road.
And, just when it seemed Kachemak Bay couldn’t be viewed from any new angle, a trail opened up from the hillside to downtown that offers a chance to see it all from a different perspective.
Musical comedy caps Pier One season
Wrapping up the summer season with smiles and songs, Pier One Theatre brings the off-Broadway hit musical, “Hedwig and The Angry Inch” to audiences beginning this Friday, and running through the Labor Day Weekend.
The comedy tells the story of Hedwig – an “internationally ignored” rock singer – searches for love and stardom while dealing with a botched sex change.
JoAnn and Monte share musical intimacy
In almost every sense of the word, “intimate” best describes the performance of popular Alaska musicians JoAnn and Monte Davis. The duo returns home from Texas for a concert tour, resuming a 30-year musical career.

Beloved local teen dies in hunting accident
Hannah Rene Frye, a young graduate from Homer High School’s class of 2009 who also went door-to-door as a Jehovah’s Witness missionary, died Friday in a moose hunting accident while on a trip at Kalgin Island.
Services for Hannah, 18, will be held 2 p.m. Sept. 5 at the Mariner Theatre. There will be a reception in the gym from 3-6 p.m.
Tragedy strikes fair
Kenai Peninsula Fair vendors and friends of Mathias “Matti” Martin, a boy who died tragically on Friday while walking the family milk cow through the fairgrounds, paid tribute to the 9-year-old boy in an auction that brought an unprecedented amount to give to the family.
When Matti’s three chickens were auctioned off at the Ninilchik fair, they brought in $5,214.
Award-winning smoked salmon takes right amount of hovering
There are a lot of things to take into consideration when creating award-winning smoked salmon; wind conditions, barometric pressure, type of wood – and a myriad of other details.
Then there’s the hovering.
Companies rewarded for going bagless
Rather than taxing or banning petroleum-based bags, the City of Homer decided to be more positively proactive by conducting a quiet movement of lauding businesses going plastic-bagless these days.
The city gives out attractive signs intended for posting at local establishments that indicate the business is demonstrating support for “environmental sustainability.”
