To the Patriotic Men and Women of Homer, Alaska:

Homer citizens’ overwhelming support of our servicemen was demonstrated this past week through their patriotic welcome of the USS Hopper.  Commanding Officer CDR JD Gainey wrote a letter to our City letting us know that in his 24 years of Naval service, he had never seen as much patriotism.  To the many citizens, business owners, and organizations that made this visit of the USS Hopper the benchmark for patriotism, I thank you. You have proven this community stands together for the greater good and freedom of us all.

Now that the snow has melted off city streets, the Public Works department is conducting street sweeping operations to remove sand remaining from the winter season. Sweeping up the excess dust and debris on nearly 2o miles of roadway keeps it out of the air and storm drain system and makes the town cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing, and livable.
