🏘️ Community

15-year-old Michael Gallus from Troop 911 is refurbishing the directory building at Pinegrove Cemetery in Rathdrum as his Eagle Scout project to honor his late sister Dorothy.
He began work on Sunday with donations from local businesses — soon an informational sign will mark the Chinese Cemetery.
