Men at work

RITZVILLE - City Public Works employee Justin Ziebell (above) radios co-worker Kevin Schaefer, working at the opposite end of this city alley Friday, July 16. The men were washing out the sewer lines, a standard maintenance task performed every other week. "We like to stay ahead of it to prevent any problems," Ziebell said.

Meanwhile, on the school district campus, Zach Gardner (top) and Brady Wahl (driver) spiff up buildings with a fresh coat of paint Friday.
