Coulee Dam's Candy Point trail is getting a makeover from the Washington Trails Association. This past weekend, 10-15 volunteers from all over Washington worked on clearing brush along the Candy Point Trail, starting behind town hall, where a lesser-known trailhead has become overgrown with brush over the years. Workers pruned branches and hauled them back to the trailhead, where the vegetation awaited wood chipping by the town crew before being hauled off. The trail was built in 1937 by the Civ...

A dog named Malquin was declared “potentially dangerous” by the Grand Coulee City Council last Tuesday night. The dog was in the possession of Dorothy Hall, of the 400 block on Roosevelt Drive, at the time of a Sept. 20 incident, who explained that she was keeping the dog for its owner, Sean Bradshaw, who had recently moved out.

In school we start each day with the Pledge of Alliance. At sporting events the National Anthem starts each contest. Buildings across the nation start each day with the early morning rising of the red, white and blue up the flag pole, and on military bases across the world a horn plays and salutes follow. But yet we still hear the voices throughout the day bad mouthing our country, our government and our troops. We see the flag being burned, hate being fueled and America slowly being tarnished by bureaucrats, the radical and the misguided. But... Full story
