The Green Team from Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort recently helped out with the Adopt-A-Highway cleanup along a two-mile stretch of state Route 2. The team contacted Community Projects Director George Hines of New Cumberland, who has worked with the state for the last 15 years in its highway cleanup program. Hines said he was glad to welcome a new group of young people who were willing to make a difference in the community. The group worked to clean along the road from the Woodview Golf Course sign south of New Cumberland to the sewage plant entrance north of town. Hines explained the guidelines for the project, and the Green Team agreed to tackle the job as part of its community volunteer efforts. The volunteers spent three hours on March 30 and collected 19 bags of trash which they took back to the casino's dumpsters. The state provided trash bags, pick-up sticks, gloves and orange safety vests. Any group who would like to be part of the Adopt-A-Highway program's efforts to keep West Virginia roads clean, should contact the state for information. Hines thanked Green Team leader Justin Gaston and his volunteers for helping to make Hancock County a little cleaner.
