Steep work

Workers remove shingles from the Coulee Dam Community Church May 17 in preparation for re-roofing the 11,000-square-foot building. The total project will likely end up costing from $105,000 to $110,000 said Coulee Dam/Almira Community Church Trustees Chairman Mel Stone. The facility was given to the church by the Presbyterian Church last year, and the gift included $69,000 that had been saved up for the big roof job, Stone said. He said about 55-70 people attend on Sundays, and the church has upgraded the fellowship hall with media technology for presentations. - Scott Hunter photo
