HALO Meeting – Thursday, August 3, 2023, at 7 p.m

In-Person at Shepherd of the Hills (corner Klatt Rd & Elmore Rd)

or via Zoom

Meeting ID 455 419 5765 Passcode HALO

Join us in August to discuss a proposed Assembly action that will change the face of the Hillside forever. AO 2023-66 will take our multiple zoning districts and create only two, and this proposed ordinance received absolutely NO community input before introduction. An “S” version is also available to read, still without public input. If adopted, there will be NO zoning protections for our neighborhoods and our largest investment. HALO submitted a Resolution opposing this action and will update our response as needed following the August meeting.

We will also be receiving updates on the proposed Lake Otis modifications and regarding our joint effort with Team Rubicon Alaska to reduce wildfire dangers in our neighborhoods.

Plan now to attend the August meeting, 7 pm at Shepherd of the Hills Church (Elmore Rd and Klatt) or on Zoom to share your neighborhood concerns. See you there, rain or shine!

Rasmuson Foundation News: New housing units bring hope for those experiencing homelessness

Scroll down to download the press release and handouts.

A nationally recognized Anchorage public-private partnership working to ensure everyone has a home has zeroed in on conversions of hotels into housing as the quickest, most affordable way to realize the vision.

The partnership announced today that the former Barratt Inn in Spenard will open its doors for housing tenants in August. The nonprofit Anchorage Affordable Housing and Land Trust purchased the former hotel last year and is completing renovations for the predominantly studio apartments.

Book review: Alaska octopus researcher takes readers into its fascinating world By Nancy Lord

“Many Things Under a Rock: The Mysteries of Octopuses”

By David Scheel; W.W. Norton, 2023; 307 pages; $28.95.

David Scheel, an octopus researcher and professor of marine biology at Alaska Pacific University, met his first octopus in 1995 in a Cordova aquarium. Although he had a background in animal behavior, at the time he had no experience with marine systems in Alaska; as he admits in his first chapter, “I had no experience with boats, nor saltwater, nor fisheries, nor underwater animals.”
