HOW WAS YOUR CHRISTMAS?
We trust it was a happy and joyous time. We also hope that you did as much shopping in Chillicothe as possible. If you were among the many that received a new TV, remember it is illegal as of January 1, 2012 to discard the old one with the trash for the landfill. All discarded electronic devices must now be disposed of through a recycle plan.
HAPPY NEW YEAR?
Have any plans for New Year’s Eve? If you do, we hope they include some portion in Chillicothe. We have many eateries and bars locally offering some special deals without having to drive any distance. Driving on New Year’s Eve is always a concern of mine. Many years ago, I operated a restaurant/cocktail lounge. I learned to call it ‘Rookie’ night as it was not the usual crowd and had to be vigil on the alcohol intake of new or different patrons. Let’s not begin 2012 with any tragedies.
2012?
What does the New Year have in store for us? Hard to tell at this stage but we hope it will be better than 2011. We know it will be a volatile political year. Those that cover the state and national scene will be a flutter with this type of news. Locally we wonder. Will the viaduct project continue to move forward? Will the job and pay outlook improve? Will the local sports teams be successful? Will there be additions to your family thru birth or marriage? The questions abound, but no one has a crystal ball so we live each day at a time.
KUDOS?
Yes, to both the Chillicothe Park District and the City of Chillicothe for the great new Santa Fe Park. This endeavor recently got national exposure in Turf Magazine. We applaud the efforts that garnered national recognition. The article spotlighted both the planning and construction of the new park.
$7 in 1?
Yes, we will continue our $7in 1 program. The program asks everyone to spend $7.00 per week in Chillicothe that they would spend elsewhere. No, we are not asking to spend more just more of what you spend in Chillicothe. These dollars circulate several times in the community benefiting everyone. That extra $.10 might become a $1.00 to the local economy for example.
ON BEHALF OF EVERYONE AT THE CHILLICOTHE INDEPENDENT
WE WISH YOU A
