Bowlers can retrieve items from closed alley

The town of Coulee Dam has scheduled three nights this week when bowlers can go to Riverview Lanes and retrieve articles left there.

Town Clerk Stefani Bowman said the bowling alley, which has been closed, will be open from 5-8 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights, Aug. 26-28.

“People can come in and sign for their articles during those dates,” Bowman stated.

The town owns the building, but not the bowling alley equipment.

“We may try to find another operator for the bowling alley, but council hasn’t decided how it wishes to proceed,” Bowman stated.

The equipment is owned by Pat and Sara Zlateff.

The alley lease was legally vacated recently by the town because the operator had failed to pay the last three months’ lease payments and utility bills.

The bills totalled $2,278.
