When the community steps up, things happen. There's a lot of new white sand out at Banks Lake Golf Course, thanks to two benefit events. The first was a golf tournament that raised about $2,500 to revitalize sand traps at the golf course. The tournament, run by former Grant County Port District 7 commissioner Stan Conklin, produced enough money for the golf course to order a truckload of white sand from the Inchelium area. A second benefit, a car wash, held by Jess Ford on Sept. 2, produced a...

The chamber of commerce has set up an easy...

Singer-songwriter Bradford Loomis will be performing at the Grand Coulee Library Sept. 12 and will also be talking about the tradition of narrative and storytelling. "Stories have the unique ability to contextualize a point of view," Loomis said. "Through them, we are vividly able to imagine ourselves in the shoes of someone else. Listening to a story allows us to access empathy and consideration through our imagination, like a back door to compassion." Grand Coulee has its place in folk music...
