Singer; A huge part of the Fair
By George Starks
GREENVILLE- On the back of Joe Singer's Escalade, the plate says it
all. "5 Sleds" It has nothing to do with snow or going sledding but has
everything to do with the Darke County Tractor Pullers Association
(DCTPA) and the Darke County Fair. Singer, a 1977 graduate of
Tri-Village, was one of the founders of the... Read

Ensuring Ohio Workers Can Compete
More than 200 days ago, the Senate passed a bipartisan jobs bill that
could create or save two million jobs at no cost to taxpayers. Yet, the
House of Representatives has refused to consider this common-sense

| NOTES
& THOUGHTS
FROM
THE EDITOR... ON THE INSIDE - SATURDAY, AUGUST 25,
2012 |
I
took a break this week to join my family for a couple of hours at the
fair. As always entrance to the fairway passes the Republican tent and,
as seems to be always, State Repr. Jim Buchy was there. And as probably
always, he honed in on a cute little 2-year-old… this time our
granddaughter, Bella. He shouldn’t take her lack of interest
personally… she’s not much interested in strangers. Get her home
however… totally different story. A little quiet on occasion would
sometimes be a welcome change of pace. She keeps us busy… and me young!
