Volunteers met on Saturday to participate in the 18th annual River Sweep, a cleanup of the Ohio River and it's tributaries. Hundreds of pounds of garbage and debris were pulled from the water and banks of the river as crews worked diligently to beautify the area. Here, Shanika Cordell, 12, of Gallipolis poses near some of the refuse removed from the river during the sweep.
