Prairie Days 2011… a treasure trove of history
By Bob Robinson
Darke County is full of history, festive events, natural and historic
wonders, and the pioneers – old and new – who made this small, rural
group of communities a treasure trove of literary and historic
richness. Darke County Parks’ Prairie Days ranks near – if not at – the
top of the wonders our communities have to offer… and the word is
getting out. Visitors had to be shuttled by Greenville Transit from the
Triangle parking lot a few hundred yards down the road, and the lot was

What’s going on?
Submitted By Don Wright
By now I’m sure all of you property owners have your new 2011 tax
appraisals. I personally could not believe my good luck. Here we are in
a national recession. Property values all over our country plunging but

them either because I got involved with a local project or because I

Buckeyes fall from grace
Ohio State, a program that has been the dominant force in the Big Ten
for the past decade, has stumbled into some new and very unfamiliar
territory. The Buckeyes’ 24-6 loss at Miami knocked them out of the
national rankings for the first time in almost seven years, thus ending
the nation’s longest streak of appearances in the Top 25 at 103
straight weeks. Of bigger concern for Ohio State... Read More. More Sports. |

A Herd of Cows, A Flock of Chickens
From Sharon Hopper – author unknown
The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective
nouns for the various groups of animals. We are all familiar with a
Herd of cows, a Flock of chickens, a School of fish and a Gaggle of
