    The Anderson County Board of Education unanimously approved its proposed budget Monday night calling for a 4 percent revenue increase, about $200,000 more in anticipated property tax revenue for the upcoming fiscal year.
    School board chairman James Sargent said the budgeted 4 percent revenue increase does not mean the board will ultimately decide to raise tax rates.

    The Anderson Public Library is accused of “unlawful taking” and “complete disregard of the law” in a class action suit filed Friday that seeks hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of dollars in refunds to taxpayers.

  • Disgusting to divine

    A trash and feces-filled home police said just 10 days ago was one of the worst they’d ever seen is now clean as a whistle and ready to be lived in.
    Dozens of co-workers and members of Hope Community Church shoveled, scrubbed, cleaned and repaired a residence at 104 Beth Drive that made headlines across the region last Friday when police removed two children from the home and charged their parents, Anna Mauer and Michael Hutchens, with second-degree wanton endangerment.

  • SOFTBALL: Aldridge's gritty performance for naught in 2-1 loss to Butler

    The difference between winning and losing on the softball diamond is often the little things. Never was it more apparent than Louisville Butler's 2-1 win over host Anderson County last Wednesday.

    The Bearettes scored the winning run when catcher Larissa Book dropped a weak flare just out of the reach of two Anderson defenders with two out in the top of the seventh. Danielle Teague, running for Courtney Rose, trotted home with the game winner.

  • SOFTBALL: Anderson girls drub Spencer, roll on to region

    The only question about the 30th District softball opener Monday night was just how dominant Mia Aldridge really was.

    The freshman pitcher overpowered Spencer County in the Lady Bearcats' 9-0 rout. Aldridge allowed just two base runners and struck out seven to led Anderson to Tuesday's district championship game. Aldridge improved to 12-1 on the year.

    Anderson was to have played Collins, a 16-9 winner over Shelby County in the other semi-final, after press time.

  • STATE TRACK: Eight not enough for Bearcats

    LOUISVILLE – Sunday's papers had no headlines about Anderson County's performance in the Class 3A state track meet Saturday.

    Few outside Lawrenceburg would see much news worthiness in a girls' team being shut out in the point standings and a boys' team finish with eight points in the event, held at the University of Louisville.

  • Extreme sport, crowd

    Several hundred fans of extreme sports descended on Lawrenceburg Saturday for the annual Beast of the Bluegrass strongman competition and the United States Powerlifting Association meet held simultaneously at Eagle Lake Convention Center.

    Anderson County resident Matt Edmondson competed in only his fourth event but placed fourth in the Open Mens' Heavyweight division.

  • Keeping her commitment every Sunday

    Anna-Marie Hyatt won't be mentioned in any of the Miss Softball discussions. There might be a few post-season honors over the next few weeks, but the hullabaloo about them will probably be limited to a note in this newspaper or posts on Facebook.

    Even though golf is going to help pay for her college education, she never made that state tournament in that sport, missing by one stroke last fall. There have been ups and downs along the way, but one thing has remained constant.
