SCHOOLS Peninsula Clarion Jewell Briggs is the daughter of Dr. Amber and Bruce Briggs. She says she is grateful to my teachers, parents, friends, and mentors who have helped her reach this point in her life. Jewell is the oldest of six and is grateful to her siblings for challenging her to become better and to lead by example. Originally from the Southside of Chicago, Jewell moved to Alaska during the summer of 2004. Alaska has afforded her the opportunity to expand her world view and participate in a smaller, closer knit community. This coming fall, she will attend Loyola University in Chicago as a biochemistry major, while completing pre-medical requirements.

BERRIES OF THE KENAI PENINSULA

Whether intentionally seeking berries for jellies and jams or just out for a casual hike, residents and visitors will find the 50-some varieties of wild berries in Alaska hard to resist.

COMMON SENSE SURVIVAL

There’s adventure and beauty in the wild country, but also an element of risk.
