A driver clipped the front of an Anderson County school bus at about 8 a.m. Tuesday morning at the intersection of Glensboro Road and Mustang Trail, leaving the bus sitting in the turn lane as EMS checked every student and adult for signs of injury.
Officer Clay Crouch of the Lawrenceburg police department said the female driver was allegedly pulling into the left turn lane to head into the Anderson County Middle School entrance and did not see the school bus, consequently clipping the bus’s front bumper.

For the second time in as many years, the Democrat-controlled House in Frankfort is pushing a redistricting plan that would kick state Rep. Kim King (R-Harrodsburg) out of Anderson County.
The plan, which has been approved in the House, calls for Anderson County to become part of the 54th House District, moving it from the 55th and joining it with all of Spencer and a portion of Bullitt counties.
Anderson is now joined with Mercer and a portion of Spencer counties.

When storms turn the front yard into a pond, it’s time to launch the toy speedboat.
Sarah Cook, who lives at 1531 Harrodsburg Road with her husband, Anthony Cook, said she decided to forget about the cold weather and spend a half hour playing with a toy boat in her temporary front yard pond.
The Cooks, who said they’ve lived at their home in Stringtown for the past five years, take advantage of the massive amount of water that floods their front yard after a heavy or steady rain; the “pond” has formed about four times.

Steve Cornish, former county-judge executive, retired state trooper and now auctioneer and owner of Middle Creek Land and Auction Co., still owns his first, high-powered hunting rifle, a .30-30 caliber lever action Marlin model.
