Your Holiday:s Garbage collection schedule changed

NEW CASTLE — Because of the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, garbage collections will be pushed back for most New Castle residents.

The change is because the landfill is closed both of those days.

Public works director Mike Rooney noted Monday collections will be as usual.

However, because no collections will be made on the two holidays, which fall on Tuesdays, the Tuesday collections those weeks will be pushed back to Wednesday, Wednesday pickups will move to Thursdays and Thursdays will be on Fridays.

Recycling collections scheduled for Christmas week will be on Saturday.

Normal garbage and recycling collections will resume the week of Jan. 6.

    One of the most personal things a woman buys is a handbag. It holds all of her prized possessions. So when shopping for a new bag, there are a lot of things to consider. Size, color, quality, fabric and length of use. Is she looking for something to use year round, or something that can be changed each season?

    The sweetest person you know deserves something equally sugary on Sunday. That would be your mother and the occasion is Mother’s Day.

    It's spring, it's spring! It finally feels like spring! Maybe I shouldn't say that too loudly, I don't want to scare it off. Anyway, one of the best parts of spring is seeing all of the pretty flowers popping up around the area.

The Lawrence County commissioners have decided to solicit proposals for the private operation of the county jail. Good idea?

Yes. If it’s a more efficient way to run the jail, I’m all for it.
No. I think there would be too many questions of liability for the county.
Not sure. The county seems to be doing a good job of running the jail now. Why break it if it’s not broken?
