Friends and Neighbors,

S.O.S.- Save Our Schools

Statewide bi-partisan education advocates organized a rally on the front steps of Juneau this week to show support for education funding. These supporters were asking for an adequate increase to the Base Student Allocation (BSA). Money that goes directly into the teaching of our students is the most important fundamental funding we can give.

The Governor proposed an increase to the BSA; however, it still is not enough. We can do more for our kids and we should.

TOMORROW- Public meeting to discuss community wildfire protection planning

The Alaska Division of Forestry and the Fairbanks North Star Borough will hold a public meeting at 7 p.m. on Feb. 18 at the Steese Fire Department Station #62, located at 585 Old Steele Creek Road, to discuss the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) and fuels reduction projects in the Steese, North Star, and Chena-Goldstream fire service districts. The meeting is an opportunity for the public to comment on the projects and future mitigation efforts.

The CWPP is a cooperative effort between state, federal, and private entities to promote fire safety in the wildland-urban interface. The goal is to reduce the risk of wildfire to the community through cost effective risk reduction projects, according to a press release from the Division of Forestry.

Date: Tuesday, February 18th

Time: 7pm

Location: Steese Fire Department Station #62 located at 585 Old Steele Creek Road
