Letter to the editor:

Recently, several members of the Range Lions and their spouses cleaned our “Adopt a Highway” stretch from Painesdale to South Range. We were all disturbed by the amount of litter along that three mile stretch of highway. We collected 34 bags of litter.

Many other organizations in our area volunteer their time to keep our beautiful communities clean through the “Adopt a Highway” program. We would request that the next time you toss your garbage out of the window, you think about how you are damaging the environment for future generations, not to mention the unsightly appearance that greets our tourists that visit our communities.

We should all do our part to take pride in the beautiful area in which we live.
