Our Purpose: Not to
compete, but to enhance
Jan. 10, 2011 - This is where you will see unique stories of people,
organizations and events, some of which you won’t find anywhere but on
County News Online. You will also find the widest variety of social and
political opinions anywhere. Other features include information and
links to web sites of interest... local, obituaries, state and national
news and opinion. Your One Stop Shop!
You won’t see all the news here… this is a volunteer effort. Our
intention is not to compete with your other sources of news, but to
enhance your information experience. What you see will often be
exclusive and it will be news you can trust!
Check out the tabs at the top of the page. Some of the articles you
will remember from That’s My Opinion… during the trial period, articles
were presented there then posted here. It was a test run to make sure
everything ran smoothly – or relatively so – but we also wanted you to
have some of the information you read earlier to make this transition
smoother.
One thing the blog couldn’t do was differentiate between news,
community, events and opinions. Now you can go directly to your areas
of interest.
New to County News Online readers are sections for resources, archives,
obituaries, the offerings of The Senior Scribes and a small but growing
group of Teen Scribes. Other options will be made available as we
continue to grow…
All the while maintaining a simple, easily navigated site for your
convenience.
Another new feature is the opportunity for businesses and individuals
to have a strong, positive impact on our Darke County community.
Sponsors for the site have already offered their support to The Senior
Scribes Scholarship Fund. Thank them when you see and do business with
them… Their support will help provide scholarships for deserving Darke
County teens pursuing an education in a communications-related field.

would like to help.
To those who have been reading That’s My Opinion for the past six
months… thank you! The growth of readership during this time has been
phenomenal; without your support, this project could never have been
conceived or attempted.
To those who have never read my blog, I hope you will enjoy what we
have to offer. This is a joint effort of The Senior Scribes and The
Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund… the time and effort of many people
have led to this day.
We are proud of our effort and look forward to providing a new –
different – source of information, news and opinion… and helping our
young people reach their dreams!
God Bless,
Bob Robinson
