Anew year is here, and with it, the city of Ellsworth will usher in a new police chief. We will also see changes happen for our city councils and school boards, as new members walk into new roles.

Some of our public governing bodies have been fairly “spicy.” We hope that with new faces and new leadership, we are all able to look at the new year as a reset. It’s a chance for us to all begin anew. To shed any previous animosity and move forward.

It’s easy to look back, point fingers and dwell on the past. But let’s not. Let’s look forward. To new mayors, new police chiefs, new school board members and if we’re extra-lucky, hiring a new superintendent for Ellsworth-Kanopolis-Geneseo USD 327.

We have so much to look forward to. Please join us in looking to the future, not the past.
