  • Here's a way to help our schools

    Rob and Glo Carroll|Mar 16, 2016

    We would like to take a moment to introduce the community to a funding site that allows us to donate to projects AT OUR SCHOOLS in OUR CLASSROOMS. It is DonorsChoose.Org. This site allows teachers to post a specific project and the funding needed to make it happen. It can be a small amount or a large amount. We searched for local schools, and there were no projects listed yet. Let’s change that! Let’s get some projects listed and then let’s fund them. We can do this! We, as a community, can make a difference, with just a click. We urge the s... Full story

  • Attend runaway council meetings

    Rob and Glo Carroll|Mar 20, 2013

    As everyone knows, the proposed new waste water treatment plant is being discussed at Coulee Dam Council meetings. There are a few people who religiously attend this meeting and do all they can to keep a run-away Town Council in check. Their behavior at recent meetings can only lead us to believe that they only agreed to a three-month hiatus on the forward motion of the project to appease the people who signed the petition to stop it. At the last meeting, Councilmember Karl Hjorten (up for re-election this year) made a motion that we once... Full story
