The Star - News, views and advertising of the Grand Coulee Dam Area

At the last Coulee Dam Council I asked that the city make tourists aware that hiking the Crown Point Trail could be hazardous after the fire, the windstorm and the torrential rain. They agreed to put up a sign and one was there the next day. They also agreed to find volunteers to take on the project.

The next day as I came home from running errands an angel, wearing a black and red shirt and a backpack came walking down the trail. It was Frank Ward, who had hiked the whole trail, clearing and cleaning as he went. And the next day he was back, this time with a broom to sweep loose rocks away.

Isn’t it great to live in a town with people like Frank, who see that something needs doing and do it, quietly and efficiently.

Thank you, Frank, for all your great work, all done with a smile.
