<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yesterday, to celebrate the glorious fall weather,
we took a short walk at Berman Creekside Park. To our surprise, the paved
path along Paradise Creek there no longer ends in a tangle of
brush.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The path is now connected -- on the west to Highway
95 and on the east to the Latah Trail.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The land has been secured, the trail cleared, and
the gravel surface completed. What an incredible
achievement.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In discussions with parks personnel, I learned that
it was a significant gift from Bill Parks at Northwest River Supply that made
this trail connection possible.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To Bill Parks, I offer my thanks.</FONT></DIV>
