Kawerak, Norton Sound Economic Development Corporation, and Norton Sound Health Corporation are all pitching in to pay for testing of Nome’s back logged sexual assault kits. The total funds equal $38,295.

Nome’s climate records continue to be broken. The latest was the Goldrush City’s amount of daily rainfall, which was set at more than one and a quarter inches of rain earlier this week.

FBI Agent William Walton told KNOM, “I don’t want Nome to get the impression that because they don’t see FBI jackets in the city that we’re not still assisting Nome Police Department.”
