05/06/2007: "Thank You FH For Help In Litter Control"

Letter to the Editor:

On behalf of the SJI Chamber of Commerce Downtown Forum and the Anti-Litter Initiative, I want to thank Mike Wilks, Utilities Superintendent, and Dave Smith, Street/Parks Department.Lead, for making litter control in Friday Harbor a priority for 2007.

In response to complaints and suggestions about litter on our streets and sidewalks, Mike and Dave put together a rotating schedule that allows the street work crew to dedicate 2-4 hours each day to litter control. They have also equipped trucks and a trailer with brooms, bins, grabbers, vacuums and blowers so that the equipment is handy to be used any time as needed.

To show our gratitude, let's all pitch in and help!

Debbie Pigman
Executive Director, SJI Chamber of Commerce
