In these tough economic times, I would like to encourage you when possible to shop locally. Money spent within the county stays in the county. Many businesses are just barely hanging on, and your purchase, although seemingly small to you, may be what keeps the business open. I know how hard times are and how competitive the market is. All that the local business owners are asking for is the opportunity to serve you. If you give the local business a chance, then it is up to the business to win you over.

We picked up garbage and some of that stuff was nasty. People should know better not to throw trash on the road. I know I will never do that cause someone like me may have to pick it up. It makes the roads look messy and not beautiful like they should look. People can take that stuff to a garbage can. It taught me one thing – do not pitch stuff out of a car window. Thank you for letting us do this and give back to our community.

It would be a whole lot better if people wouldn’t litter. It would also save our planet. People would get more money too. Just saying, it would really make people happier.

In the city of Dry Ridge, criminals are having a field day. I am co-owner of a recycling center in Dry Ridge. Last month, thieves stole copper wire from our business. On the night they began their escapades, they were stopped by a Williamstown policeman, who discovered the wire in the back of their vehicle. For reasons that have still not been explained to me, the thieves were allowed to return the stolen material and leave without even a citation. In our security camera video, we see the policeman actually showing one of the thieves exactly where our camera is positioned.
