Peter Kafura, and Kyra Crawford,  sophomores at New Smyrna Beach High School, were among dozens of Southeast Volusia residents picking up garbage from the riverbanks of the Indian River and among nearly 200 overall, lending a helping hand during Saturday's 22nd annual Halifax/Indian River Clean-Up. Kyra walks out of the woods with an armful of garbage by the river, including a shoe. A full can of garbage sits ashore by the Sea Scout's sailboat. This boat was recently a part of the Lipton Tea Rigatta near New Smyrna Beach.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Peter Kasfura has volunteered two years in a row now to help with the annual Halifax/Indian River clean-up. Kyra Crawford was out here for the first time.  She held up an old shoe and said that this and some of the garbage did smell bad, but the New Smyrna Beach High School sophomores did it any way because it needed to be done.
