Takin’ out the trash …with a smile!

Kids with nothing to do often find mischief, but not this happy crew. These four youngsters stopped by Gallatin City Hall last Monday asking if any odd jobs needed some attention. When it was suggested they might pick up trash off the streets, the foursome not only grabbed empty trash bags but returned with four bags filled. These smiling youngsters, from left, are Mia Anson; twin brothers Marquel and Marquese Nielsen; and the boys’ sister, Heavynn Abbink. “It’s really unusual to get this kind of offer,” says Mayor Barb Ballew. “We really appreciate those willing to volunteer and work to make our community a better place to live.”
