Well, it happened again last night.
The heating and air conditioning system isn’t the only thing that doesn’t work in Clarke County’s new Joint Government Center. Computers and networks used to display critical information at public meetings regularly malfunction and often cause County staff to go to “Plan B”.
Definition: Plan “B” – a frustrating and [...]

After our first year of providing news about Clarke County one thing has become very clear; Clarke Daily News readers have a lot to say. CDN’s “comment” feature, a social media tool that allows readers to attach their opinions to any story, has generated significant interest.
Our primary goal in allowing readers to comment on our [...]

As we all take a few moments to reflect on the past year and look forward to what 2011 will bring, we at the Clarke Daily News would like to take this opportunity to look back on the past year in local news.
Our effort to return local news to Clarke County launched a little over [...]

William Peter Deahl served Virginia during the Civil War as a private in Capt Pichegru Woolfolk, Jr.’s light artillery company. A quick internet search reveals little about Deahl personally. His name is listed in Woolfolk’s company muster record as “W. P. Deeles” (correct spelling not being the priority then as it is today). However, search [...]
Is there a difference between news and gossip? When does the public interest trump personal privacy? Distinguishing news from gossip is often in the eye of the beholder. Yet, no matter what your personal view of what ought to be left to private conversation, several recent “stories” have presented opportunities for all of us to [...]

Ask just about anyone in Clarke County how they feel about the 10-year odyssey that we all refer to as “the new school” and you’ll get fairly consistent replies that include “embarrassment”, “outrageous”, “incompetence” and “shameful”. It’s awfully hard to argue that these labels aren’t well deserved. After all, who continues to be hurt by [...]
