Homer is a transportation hub for the region. The airport’s 6,700 foot runway accommodates jet traffic and hosts multiple commercial flights a day. A 30-minute flight or 4-hour world-class scenic drive north on Alaska’s Route 1 Sterling Highway is close enough to the ‘big city’ - Anchorage - for most Homer residents, who appreciate that Homer has plenty of amenities while maintaining a small-town feel. Direct flights from Anchorage connect you to major cities in the “Lower 48” in a matter of hours -- only three hours to Seattle and less than five hours direct to Denver, Phoenix and Los Angeles. Travel to Alaska is so convenient and alluring, in fact, friends and family won’t feel far away due to their frequent visits! Freight is barged to coastal Alaska and supplies loaded at Homer’s Deep Water and Pioneer Docks support oil and gas exploration in Cook Inlet. Millions of pounds of fresh seafood are trucked from Homer every season. Homer is also a communications hub. With six high-speed internet providers and three submarine fiber cables landing on the beach for connectivity, it's no wonder Homer was named Google’s Alaskan “eCity” in both 2013 and 2014 in recognition of Homer’s strong web utilization to find new customers, connect with existing clients and help fuel the local economy.

  • Possible Impacts of Prudhoe Bay Shut Down on Alaska Refinery Output

Binkley Street Soldotna, Alaska 99669 BUSINESS: (907) 714-2335 FAX: (907) 262-8616 [email protected] www.cookinletoilandgas.org JOHN J. WILLIAMS BOROUGH MAYOR To: Mayor John J. Williams Thru: Tim Navarre, Chief of Staff Date: August 8, 2006 From: Bill Popp, Oil, Gas & Mining Liaison Subject: Possible impacts of Prudhoe Bay shut down on Alaska refinery output This preliminary analysis is a follow up on the “first take” my office provided on August 7th regarding the possible impacts of the Prudhoe Bay oil field closure. In particular, the effects on Alaska’s total refinery output of finished petroleum products and the ripple effects that may be felt in the communities of the Kenai Peninsula Borough. As pointed out in the “first take,” there could be significant impacts on in-state production of motor diesel, home heating fuels, power generation fuels, jet fuels and gasoline. These impacts could lead to price spikes and shortages for these fuels unless the refiners are able to secure either adequate alternative supplies of refined products from outside of Alaska, or alternative supply contracts for North Slope crude oil originating from fields other than Prudhoe Bay. 1. Existing refineries, total through puts and outputs and total Alaska consumption Alaska currently has 6 refineries. Two refineries are based on the North Slope and only serve that region. Two refineries are based in Fairbanks. One is based in Valdez and one is based in Nikiski. The four refineries based in Fairbanks, Valdez and Nikiski serve the major population centers of Alaska and will be the focus of this analysis.

  • An Introduction to Dena'ina Grammar
    AN INTRODUCTION TO DENA’INA GRAMMAR: THE KENAI (OUTER INLET) DIALECT by Alan Boraas, Ph.D. Professor of Anthropology Kenai Peninsula College Based on reference material by: Peter Kalifornsky James Kari, Ph.D. and Joan Tenenbaum, Ph.D. June 30, 2009 revisions May 22, 2010 Page ii Dedication This grammar guide is dedicated to the 20th century children who had their mouth’s washed out with soap or were beaten in the Kenai Territorial School for speaking Dena’ina. And to Peter Kalifornsky, one of those children, who gave his time, knowledge, and friendship so others might learn. Acknowledgement The information in this introductory grammar is based on the sources cited in the “References” section but particularly on James Kari’s draft of Dena’ina Verb Dictionary and Joan Tenenbaum’s 1978 Morphology and Semantics of the Tanaina Verb. Many of the examples are taken directly from these documents but modified to fit the Kenai or Outer Inlet dialect. All of the stem set and verb theme information is from James Kari’s electronic Dena’ina verb dictionary draft. Students should consult the originals for more in-depth descriptions or to resolve difficult constructions. In addition much of the material in this document was initially developed in various language learning documents developed by me, many in collaboration with Peter Kalifornsky or Donita Peter for classes taught at Kenai Peninsula College or the Kenaitze Indian Tribe between 1988 and 2006, and this document represents a recent installment of a progressively more complete grammar. Anyone interested in Dena’ina language and culture owes a huge debt of gratitude to Dr.
