Teen Scribe Jessica Transve, who is also in Greenville High School’s
Interactive Media Television (IMTV) program, went on assignment to Farm
Power of the Past, held over the weekend at the Darke County
Fairgrounds. Here is her report… I went to the tractor pull on

Early Morning Discovery Hikes
If you haven’t attended one of the Early Morning Discovery Hikes this
summer with Darke County Parks, you’re missing out! Most weeks we spend
around an hour or so hiking the trails of Shawnee Prairie Preserve
searching for as many species of birds, wildflowers, dragonflies and

Dead Horses and Live Husbands
By Bob Robinson
One of the positives of the computer age is the unceasing flow of humor
and creative anecdotes you see when people have you on their email

dependence on it. One of the negatives of a representative government

DIFFERENCES WITHIN GOP LEADERSHIP

Townhall Finance...
Remember: It Could Have Been Pelosi
By Bob Beauprez
As the political tug-of-war wears on in Washington over a deal on
reducing the deficit as part of a compromise to raise the debt limit,
some conservatives are beginning to fret about the possibility of the
GOP “caving” (there’s a plethora of definitions of what “caving” would

Townhall...
The President’s Excess Income, and Ours
By Mona Charen
It is becoming a verbal tic -- the tendency on the part of the

Kasich says. Events: Transit Advisory (TAC) Committee Meeting. Blogs:
Obama Makes Us Eat Our Peas; Jobless Presidencies Should Result in
Jobless Presidents; and Teachers acknowledge that hard times require
