Things found in Arkansas River

You would not believe the items that are found in the Arkansas River. As a rower we find all kinds of things in the river. One morning we almost rowed into a large trash can. The coachs had to yell at the coxes to make sure that we did not hit the trash can. One of our coachs found a lawn chair in the water. Balls, bottles and logs are items that row by almost every morning.

I use the river more often than most most in Wichita but I think that it is sad that all these items are found in the river. Even people that live by the river have to look at these items. We should be keep our river clean because we can. Right now we only clean the once a year. Because of all the things found in the river I think that we should clean the river four times a year.
