Arlene Griffith is a woman with a cause – she is cleaning up Ripon.Griffith walks around her community in search of “messy” conditions that she then cleans up by weeding and sweeping.Arlene caught my eye a couple weeks ago in the 500 block of Second Street in central Ripon where she was sweeping up leaves and trash in a gutter with her worn out broom. It had but only three inches left of its bristles. Several times later she would be spotted working in other parts of the community with her broom in hand and sweeping clutter into a box of trash.On Saturday I spotted her turning over the dirt in a landscaping strip along the side of the Ripon Library, a length of some 75 to 80 feet.
