On today's Midday Report with Host Terry Haines:

Alaska will receive more than a million dollars in federal funds to clean up abandoned coal mines across the state. The Biden administration has issued instructions aimed at protecting subsistence resources in the National Petroleum Reserve Alaska. And the largest juried photography show in Alaska has made its way to Kenai Peninsula College.
