Coali- tion Board Vice Chairwoman Tessa Scheller worked with the Clatsop Community Col- lege board to get approval to connect two trails near to the college’s lower parking lot. The new trail skirts the edge of the north side of the parking lot and rounds the northeast corner and con- nects with the upper trail. The project was completed in about five hours on Saturday. Terry Teague of Qual- ity Excavation brought in an excavator and did the major- ity of the work. Mike Sarin, owner of Big River Exca- vating, donated two loads of gravel, and the coalition pur- chased a third load. Volunteers included three board members, Scheller, Gail Galen and Sue Cody. Lucien Swerdloff, CCC His- torical Preservation instruc- tor, and one of his students, Don Haslan, pitched in, along with Matt Crichton.
