I have deep North Idaho roots and graduated from Eastern Washington University with an English degree with a creative writing emphasis with a minor in film. I worked at at the Bonner County Daily Bee before coming to work at the Bonners Ferry Herald in August 2021. I enjoy writing for the paper that my great-grandfather read and covering the same small town community that is still alive today. I cover all things Badger sports, local politics and government, community news, business, outdoors and appear on the 7Bee podcast for the Herald's update. When I'm not working I can be found reading a good book and sipping tea, knitting or attempting to sign opera. | April 14, 2022 1:00 AM
BONNERS FERRY — Community members of all ages came out last Friday to help clean up the baseball fields at the Boundary County Fairgrounds.
After the fields were damaged by a vandal earlier in the week, community members braved the cold to help Park and Recreation staff pick up brush and clean up the in-fields of the baseball fields. Dirt was added to the in-fields and even some of the younger volunteers made quick work of leveling out the material.
Parks and Recreation officials said they were thankful to community members for coming out in the cold and during spring break to clean the fields before little league begins.
