STEWARDSHIP -- Organizers of the annual Spokane River Clean Up, set for Oct. 1, hope to at least match the 800 volunteers who collected six tons of debris from along the rive shores last year.

In addition to the effort in the Spokane River Gorge and the University District, the cleanup will have groups working in the Spokane Valley, too.

Volunteers should pre-register.

To sign up as a team leader, contact Stephen Barbieri, (509) 953-6437 or email stephenbarbieri@msn.com
