SEEKING SIGNATURES - Klaudia Leccese holds a citizen initiative petition booklet and a sign this afternoon on Lincoln Street. The petition calls for a public vote on a measure to put limits on cruise ship traffic in Sitka. She says the Small Town Soul group has gathered about half of the required signatures. She says one way to sign the petition is to leave a message on the website smalltownsoul.org to meet with a signature gatherer. (Sentinel Photo by James Poulson)
