Faber says budget “fix” will hurt
- By Jan Boyer, Senior Scribe
GREENVILLE - Expect “gnashing of teeth and wailing” as Ohio works to
fix its budget woes. This was State Senator Keith Faber’s (R-12)
message to a room full of Chamber of Commerce members and friends at
Romer’s Catering Friday. “For too long, inactivity has been the state
government norm,” Faber said. There is general agreement that the
problem can’t be cured by spending. But he also noted that everyone is
for cutting funds, as long as it is not their own funds. Faber likened
it to being on a cruise ship… we have to decide what deck chairs go
over the side before the ship sinks... Read More. See More

LEVEL
2 SNOW EMERGENCY RETURNS SATURDAY AFTERNOON
|
Just when we
thought we could do away with this Weather Box, it starts snowing again. Will winter never
end?
Level 2 Snow Emergency Issued
Darke County has upgraded to a Level 2 Snow Emergency. It replaces the
Level 1 Snow Emergency that was previously in effect. Moderate to heavy
snow has fallen across Darke County on top of already treacherous and
ice covered roadways. Several inches of snow have fallen across the
county with 1-2 additional inches possible during the afternoon and
evening afternoons. Temperatures will fall this evening increasing the
risk of roads refreezing. Extreme caution should be used if driving,
particularly on secondary roadways.

The drama on the streets of Cairo has many Americans thinking about
national security and the role our country plays in the world these
days. Most expect the unrest in Egypt to spread to other Middle Eastern

New Year’s Resolution Madness -

By Kayla Lemar
Teen Scribe
It’s month two on our journey of Preempting the New Year’s Resolution
Madness, and I know you must be heartbroken because I skipped six of
the top 12 New Year’s Resolutions, but how many of us can honestly say
weight loss and budgeting are on our minds when it’s almost... Read

Hey, you’d think that Barack Hussein Obama’s middle name would’ve come
in handy in the Arab world by now, huh? Nope. It turns out
that even an Obama speech can’t curb Egypt being set ablaze. And
that’s a blow to the brother’s confidence, no doubt. Obama’s ego aside,
how surprised would you be if I told you that the White House is
cozying up to... Read

County News Online
would like to welcome – and thank – Senior Scribe Jan Boyer for her
excellent story on Darke County’s “Groundhog Day” – she did a great
job. And I applaud State Sen. Keith Faber for telling it like it is… it
takes a long time for a state budget to get sick, it takes a long time
for it to heal… and sometimes the healing process isn’t pleasant. But
we will be providing a better future for our young. Speaking of our
young, Kayla Lamar’s article is a “Must Read.” In Blogs:
