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

Anytime you go out anywhere, it is so apparent that people are feeling exhilarated to be outside, and the community is not holding back.

After the end of most covid-warranted restrictions in most places, we’re breathing sighs of relief and flexing our collectively stiff, out-of-shape social muscles.

And it feels so good.

Last night, a junior high softball game and two very young kids’ baseball games were all going on at the same time on Ludolph Field, the athletic field of the former middle school. A breeze seemed to blow good will across everyone.

Last Friday at Greene Field, the athletic field at Lake Roosevelt Schools, kids were running hard in the schools Mini Bloomsday event. What a rush to feel that energy.

This weekend is Colorama, our annual Mother’s Day weekend boost. Let’s make the most of it, honoring each other with good will and kindness, in the knowledge that we are all in this together, for the good and the bad.
