Here are your print headlines for the print edition of Disclosure now on stands—as well as available online at the e-Edition—the August-September 2013 issue.

Each print headline is preceded by the dateline (location where article occurred, primarily) and is followed by a brief synopsis of the article. Each print headline is also a link to the e-Edition article; it’ll go right to the article here at the site if you have an active subscription to the ONLINE version. We will be doing “Read the Lead” again on this month’s lead articles, wherein you can read the first portion of the article and decide if you’d like to read more, either at the e-Edition or in print. We are updating our print vendors to add eleven ROC 1-Stop locations across five counties as well as an additional Marion vendor, Pit Stop Racing. Our print headlines are broken down by front page, back page (a second front page), page 2, page 3, sections (Egypt, Heartland, and Central) and Op-Ed.

WILLIAMSON CO.—Divorce alleges bank fraud: A year ago this month, we received our first set of tips on what was going on in Marion regarding some high-end movers and shakers, their connections to area banks, and the allegations that some were involved in cocaine.
