KIDNAP
REPORT FOLLOW-UP
|
By Lyn Bliss, Senior Scribe
As of 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Darke County Sheriff Toby Spencer
said the possible kidnap case is still being actively investigated. No
more information is available at this time.
Posted Monday morning...
At approximately 10:50 a.m., I talked to Detective Baker at the
Sheriff’s office… They will make no comment regarding the kidnap call
last night. When I inquired if someone making a fraudulent kidnap
report is prosecuted, he said no comment would be issued. I asked if I
could call him back tomorrow and he said yes.
Posted at approximately
10 p.m. Sunday…
Kidnap Report just heard on the scanner: There had been a call for
money. It happened on 47. Involves Darke County Sheriff's Department.
Union City and Randolph Co. Ind. Officers are in Union City. Followup:
The kidnap must be serious, as they are now doing two-way and telephone
communications rather than on the scanner. Sounds like it may involve
something up around Sidney, too. Confirmation by Sheriff Dept. reported.

Townhall... If We Want to
Promote Freedom, How About Starting at Home?
By Star Parker
Watching the wave of unrest in the Middle East, there are lessons to
consider regarding how we view the world and how we manage our lives
here at home. I’d call it getting perspective on what you can control
and what you can’t. It should be pretty clear that the upheavals in
Tunisia and Egypt came as complete... Read

CLOSING ITS DOORS |
Politico... The end of the DLC era
By Ben Smith
February 7, 2011 - The centrist Democratic Leadership Council, which
fought and largely won a battle for the soul of the Democratic party in
the 1990s, is on the verge of bankruptcy and is closing its doors, its
founder, Al From, confirmed Monday. The group’s decision to “suspend
operations” marks the conclusion of a long slide from its peak of
relevance in the Clinton era, and perhaps the beginning a battle
over... Read
