New trees for Arbor Day

Coulee Dam town officials planted two European ash trees at the entry to Douglas Park in observance of Arbor Day Wednesday. The town was recently recognized as a "Tree City USA" municipality for its ongoing efforts to take care of its trees. Shown from the left are Jacob Maldonado, an intern at the National Park Service; Darlene Morava; David Schmidt, council member; Gayle Swagerty, council member; Mayor Greg Wilder; John Combs and Richard "Ted" Coffey, both of the town public works crew. - Roger S.
