The holidays are over, people are slowly taking down their decorations, some of us are trying to work off those Christmas "presents" from too many cookies and actually keep a few resolutions.
Next week area municipalities will be reorganizing, and there are quite a few new people taking seats on governmental boards. It will be interesting to see how they feel about running the show after they've been in office a year or two.
It probably will be tough for some -- including Don Lodge of Salford township, who was in office for more than 30 years -- to face evenings without having to head to the municipal building.
Seriously, though, I hope the newcomers are up to the challenges and perhaps will even have a newfound appreciation for the jobs that their predecessors have done.
It's always interesting to see what new leaders will do. I wish them all well. And also hope the public will make more of an effort to become involved in their communities.
