We had an a great turnout for our first event with more than 35 people in attendance. We had 20 volunteers sign up to join our growing team of Owen County residents ready to fight drug addiction in our community.
If you missed this meeting, you definitely missed a blessing but don’t worry we are just getting started and there will be many more.
In fact, this Friday from 8 to 9 a.m., we will be having a planning meeting at the Wild Goose Café to schedule future meetings, fund raising events and Celebrate Recovery ideas.

This Sunday, Aug. 11, the Owen County school system will honor a long-time valued educator as she retires.  
Ms. Jo Wallace moved to Owen County to teach in the fall of 1970 and has made this community her home and its children her family. We would like to encourage all who have been touched by her 43 years of dedicated service to join us as we wish her well in her retirement.  
The open house is from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at Maurice Bowling Middle School.

Regarding the News-Herald editorial from June 13:

I for one am dismayed that the federal government may track and retain information on who I call and email, which websites I visit or comments I make through social media.
