Rail - Page 2 Area residents look to 2010 By Amanda Gades At 12:01 a.m. on Friday, a new year began and so did a new decade. As we reflect upon the past year and recent decade, there are several exciting things that have happened in the world and yet there have been sad moments as well. Now, let’s look to the new year and all the great things that it has to offer.
