Another Trashy Story
by Jerry Cegelske

Thursday I got a phone call from a North Tongass resident that
observed fresh trash in the ditch before you get to Higgins Spur.
I checked it out Thursday afternoon and believe it came from
a paintballer. It's nice they want to share their sport
with us but I wish they would find a better way than spreading
thieir trash in the ditches. There was information on a
new face shield, a paintball box, and paintballs, along with
a lot of small soda cans, paper cups and other trash. Hopefully
one of their members will take it upon themselves to clean it
up. It should have been covered in the back of their
truck so it didn't have a chance to escape.
I also found a page from an art sketch book, the person does
pretty well with their sketches but they don't know how to properly
dispose of their trash which was also in the ditch!
It doesn't take much trash to destroy the beauty of a large section
of road and make it look like a dump site.
If you have any information on either of these, please give
me a call!
