Frances Short Pond was a bustle of activity last weekend as Boy Scouts and other volunteers worked to repair the historic cabin that sits on the banks. The work came after the cabin and several educational plaques around the pond were vandalized within the last year. Davis said the Flagstaff Elks Club donated $1,000 for supplies to fix up the cabin, while the Boy Scouts were providing much of the needed manpower. The hope is to bring the cabin back to a state at which it can again be used for school trips and educational activities. Moran Henn, executive director of Willow Bend, said the group has long used the cabin and pond area as a second classroom.
