Greenville takes
Darke County title
By George Starks
NEW MADISON- After dropping losses on Tri-Village and Arcanum, only one
team stood in the way of Greenville in the 8th Annual Darke County
Volleyball Tournament Saturday. Mississinawa Valley. The Blackhawks had
already gotten past Bradford and Ansonia and were looking to upend the
Wave for the title. That didn’t happen. In a match that should have
gone the distance (3 games) Greenville, led by Kelsey Testor (MVP)
topped the Hawks in two with scores of 25-20 and 25-23. “We stepped it

me one of the most valuable life-lessons I ever learned about
compassion and using our gifts to help others. There was a girl who
rode our bus, who took special education classes and walked and talked
a little differently than most kids. But I remember she was always
smiling and never... Read More. More Opinion.

Affordable food or riots and unrest?
By Jim Surber
The images and accounts of recent riots in the United Kingdom have been
disturbing and confounding. Disturbing by the fear and destruction they
have caused and confounding as to their root cause. It has always
appeared that the causes of such events were as random as the specific

Orlando Sentinel...
Like Frankenstein, Charley Reese’s “final” column lives again
By Mike Lafferty
Charley Reese wrote his last column for the Orlando Sentinel on July
29, 2001. You wouldn’t know it from surfing the Internet. In fact, you
wouldn’t even get his last column. You’d most likely find a version
that the popular columnist wrote for the Sentinel back on Feb. 3, 1984.

FROM
THE
EDITOR - TODAY IS TUESDAY, AUGUST 30,
2011 |
Every few years, Charley Reese’s “545” gets an email resurgence. I
would believe that by now just about every email user on the “right”
has received it at least once. I’ve gotten it a half dozen times. Why
is it so popular? Read the Sentinel Blog, then click the link to read
“545” one more time. It’s a reminder we all need… maybe daily. In News:
Shuttle Report: Errors in process, Dayton still left out; Rasmussen:
What They Told Us; and Group sues to block privatizing prisons. Events: DCCA Annual Meeting to be held. Blogs:
Demonizing Big Business is Not Going to Bring Back Jobs; Obama and
Irene: Category Four Forces of Destruction; and For Employees, It’s
