On April 20, Galena Lions Club members–from left, Lisa Schoenrock, Paul Junge, Ken Zehnder, Paula Singleton, Lenny Hosey, Bob Singleton and Chet Schuler–donated time to pick up trash as part of Jo Daviess County’s adopt-a-highway program. The seven members cleared their designated two-mile stretch of Stagecoach Trail from a half-mile east of Guilford Road to Ford Road. The Jo Daviess County Highway Department in Hanover provided safety vests and garbage bags as well as the rules of the program. Twenty bags of garbage were collected in the three-hour period. The club plans to collect garbage again in July and October. All volunteers active in this program request that travelers decrease their speed upon seeing workers, as well as install waste cans or bags in their vehicles and empty them at home or at a gas station to help maintain the beauty of Jo Daviess County. To learn more, visit galenalions.org or jodaviess.org/highway.
