Parks directors get reports on storms, signs, river races

Snake River run start may move to Wawawai Park in 2013

The search for a new member, signs at Kamiak Butte and the Snake River Half-Marathon start at Wawawai Park were among the items discussed in a Whitman County parks board meeting Feb. 9 at the Public Service Building in Colfax.

The first item addressed was newly-made signs that had been tentatively approved for Kamiak Butte. The signs indicate park boundaries and direct hikers clear of private property. Ranger Todd Heitstuman ordered the signs, which were made at the Walla Walla state penitentiary at a cost of $5.11 per sign.
