(Gazette | Dustin Ensinger)

Unsea­son­ably warm weather this win­ter has kept snow and ice off the roads and the Delaware County High­way Depart­ment side­lined for the most part. So far this year, Delaware County’s road crews have used just 10 tons of salt to keep icy road­ways safe for travel, down sig­nif­i­cantly from pre­vi­ous winters.

Top stories of 2011, No. 3: City hands over recreation department operation

In an outside-the-box move aimed at sav­ing tax dol­lars, Delaware City Coun­cil decided in August to hand over the city’s recre­ational depart­ment respon­si­bil­i­ties to the YMCA, begin­ning Jan­u­ary 2012.

Last Year’s resolutions are today’s promises

The last week of the year is a fine time to work on your New Year’s res­o­lu­tions. Not the ones that you are going to make but the ones that you made 12 months ago. The most pop­u­lar res­o­lu­tion deals with weight loss. Fad diets to medically-necessary meal plans top the wanna-do list.

The Delaware County Bank & Trust attempted to reverse its finan­cial trou­bles this year, hir­ing a new pres­i­dent in Sep­tem­ber and announc­ing the clos­ing of sev­eral of its branches sev­eral months later, a move that leaves com­mu­ni­ties like Ostran­der with no neigh­bor­hood bank.

‘Time to make a fresh start’ New Year’s suggestions

It’s that time of year again — time to con­sider what new habits you will resolve to prac­tice in the New Year. It’s time to make a fresh start. I like to call my res­o­lu­tions New Year Sug­ges­tions. Maybe it makes me feel less guilty when I don’t accom­plish them like I thought I would. On the other hand, maybe it helps me incor­po­rate the new ideas into my life because I really don’t like being told what to do, even if it is by my own self!
