Sisters of Delta Zeta sorority picked up litter along both sides of SR 235 for a mile just north of Ada on Wednesday afternoon. It was a hot job with the temperature of 82 at the time just a few degrees below the record high for April 26. Here, they hold up part of the "loot" of rubbish that ne'er-do-wells tossed from their vehicles. When you travel the clean looking roadside, you can thank these ladies (from left) Monica Foutty, Storm Smith, Gabby Molgaard, and Kayla Baxendell for a job well done.
