Cheerleading event was four hours of pure energy
By Bob Robinson

Such energy. The morning was spent getting ready, practicing, prepping
themselves and each other for the performance ahead. Shelby Schipps,
Tri-Village Senior, said they and the others had been... Read

| REFORESTATION IN COSTA RICA |
C O S T A R I C A
By Delbert Blickenstaff, M.D.
On September 6, 1991 Wilbur (Red) Long, Martha, Louise and I planted
trees in a reforestation program at the University of Peace in Costa
Rica. Red had planted thousands of trees on his farm on Boyer Road here
in Darke County. I think that the prospect of planting trees on foreign
soil convinced him to go on this Elderhostel trip. While at the
University we heard lectures about past presidents... Read

2000 UPPER INCOME PEOPLE LEAVING WEEKLY
|
Townhall…
There is no California
By Victor Davis Hanson
Driving across California is like going from Mississippi to

It's estimated that more than 2,000 upper-income Californians are
leaving per week to... Read

| NOTES
& THOUGHTS
FROM
THE EDITOR... ON THE INSIDE - SUNDAY, AUGUST 19,
2012 |
Not
sure I understand why this is happening, but I’ve been told by a number
of people that they either no longer see the County News Online link at
the bottom of our nightly update, or if they do see it they click on it
and it doesn’t work. Weird, but as I’ve been noting for nearly two
weeks, technical issues have hampered our layout presence and increased
the time involved in posting. A new link has been provided. We are
actively pursuing a solution to these issues; in the meantime we
continue to get closer to the formats and time investment for each post
that we had become accustomed to. If you wish to receive these nightly
