Glen residents clean up the town

By Janet Giles

Didn’t our town look a lot neater in the afternoon of April 18? The Glen Williams Town Hall Board would like to thank all the residents who came out in the morning and helped to clean up the unsightly litter that accumulated over the winter. Special mention goes to Ross Kelleher who reportedly found the largest discard, Jill Scott the longest and Brett Giles the strangest.

What we really need is for someone to invent a coffee cup and cigarette filter that biodegrades 10 seconds after they are thrown from the vehicle! Surely someone is on that mission.

Refreshments were enjoyed by all after the work was done and it was generally concluded that things were in much better shape this year than in the past. The message must be getting across that it really is not acceptable to toss your refuse by the side of the road for others to gather. The general conclusion was that a lot of the more unusual finds were there accidentally. So thank you everyone for helping to keep our planet cleaner!
