2013 - OUR GOAL FOR COUNTY NEWS ONLINE
Key to our success: Youth, Family & Community
By Bob Robinson
An Editor’s Perspective: Sports photos, Letters to Santa, Student Accomplishments & More
County News Online was “conceived” as a fundraising project for the
Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund. Net proceeds from CNO are used to
provide scholarships to help our young people reach their college

our goal is not to compete with other information sources – as a
volunteer entity, it would be foolish to think we… Read

DARKE COUNTY COMMISSIONER MIKE STEGALL
Joint Fire/EMS Districts:
Are we Ready?
Several months ago I ask the question “Is now the time for joint fire
and EMS districts in Darke County?” I wanted to set up a group to study
the situation, but since this was such a hot button issue, I decided to
do the research myself. I want to restate that I have no dog in this

THE TIME IS NOW
Time to Fight Back
By Jana Kolling
There comes a time occasionally when a “tipping point” is reached and
something has to happen. It’s here. 26 people were killed
in Connecticut, and the media spent 2 weeks up there uncovering the
most gruesome details possible. All the usual leftwing suspects

Sweet Reason

Editor's Note: This column was co-authored by Bob Morrison. Much of the
