THE EDITOR... ON THE INSIDE - TODAY IS WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11,
2012 |
I’ve often discussed with my classes and in some of my “opinions” that
as the economy (ie jobs) evolves, we have to evolve with it. We adapt
and move forward. Darke County Engineer Jim Surber has raised concerns
that never occurred to me. If you care about “jobs,” then this is a
MUST read. Also in News: More than half of firms fail to meet job creation promises.
Sports: Eldora Speedway Annual Awards Ceremony Set.
Events: Darke T.E.A. Patriots meeting notice.
