Each year, we are inclined to make a “new year’s resolution,” and we decide that this is the year that we will actually stick with it. Resolutions normally consist of weight loss goals, exercising, eating healthier, or quitting bad habits such as smoking or drinking. While these things are certainly important, why not make a safety resolution, one that not only impacts you, but your family, work place and community? Let’s work together to make Columbia County safer!!!
