ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY UPDATE By Ken Seydel and Bill Korbholz The December clean-up was well timed. We had a beautiful crisp (42º) morning and just beat the rain. The crew was small, but competent and efficient: Brian Cole, Billy James, Lucy Krensky, Margaret Marshall, and Ken Seydel. We were done by 11:00 am. We collected 11 bags, but nothing of real interest. This is the first time we have been shut out—no money and no hubcaps. I guess in the wintertime people keep their windows closed and the treasures don't blow out! Our January outing got rained out, and before we could re-schedule, CalTrans suspended all activity in reaction to a highway accident involving two Adopt-A-Highway employees. CalTrans reminded us that we all need safety training updates yearly. So prior to our outing on February 5, ten of us met for a Safety Review session, which consisted of watching a training video and reviewing guidelines. We then did our usual cleaning of the I-280 easement adjacent to Edgewood. Participating were Pat Bennett, Brian Cole, Sarah Divine, Carolyn Dorsch, Billy James, Bill & Kathy Korbholz, Lucy Krensky, Susan Russell, and Ken Seydel. We also welcomed Michael Yantos as a new participant! As in December, we collected 11 bags and finished by 11:00 am. If you are one of our regular helpers and missed the re-training session please contact us to make individual arrangements. If you have an interest in joining our great group please contact Ken Seydel. We will see that you are safety trained and equipped with your very own Picker, hard hat, goggles, gloves, and bright orange vest. |
