River cleanup

Volunteer Kurt Merrill of Milford is pictured Wednesday as he freed debris from a tangle of shoreline branches near the Dingman Bridge. Some 250 volunteers took part in the annual program. Organizer Ruth Jones, of Kittatinny Canoes, said more than 300 tons of debris and some 700 tires have been removed over the past 17 years. (Photo by Nick Troiano)
