Scouts Create New Trail at Riverbend Park

— More than 60 volunteers cleared a new safety trail at Riverbend Park on Saturday, June 13. Troop 673 scouts, assisted by Kilmer and Cooper Middle School students and neighborhood volunteers, worked with new Riverbend Park manager John Callow and veteran technician Gary Eisner to create a 1,100 foot trail for children along Jeffrey Road so that they need not walk on the road to get to their bus-stop. Hikers and dog-walkers will also find the trail a pleasant addition to the park's amenities. Powered by Safeway-donated donuts and Dominos-contributed pizzas, the group worked its way through the trail in record time. The project, which had been requested by local families, was headed up by Greg Gersony, who undertook the job as his Eagle project. It is dedicated to Troop 673 Eagle Scout Mark Waugh, whose parents and brothers labored all day together with the scouts.
