Highway cleanup task is semiannual event

Clean-spirited club members: Members of the Rotary Club of Austintown joined forces with the Fitch Interact Club for a semiannual cleaning of Kirk Road from Route 46 to Whispering Pines Drive, which is about 11⁄2 miles. The task has been undertaken twice a year for the past 10 years. The weather was cold and damp, but the volunteers kept up their spirit for improving the community.
