    A couple of rumors regarding FEMA reimbursements and debris pick-up are circulating around Anderson County, but those rumors are not true, said EMS Director Bart Powell.

  • Lewis sees big opportunities for local Little League

    If Bart Lewis could only make things look as easy as Davey Concepcion.

    During the days of Cincinnati’s Big Red Machine pulverizing Major League Baseball, Concepcion was so effortless at shortstop that some think that his contributions might have been overlooked.

    “I wore number 13 and my son, Dalton, wears number 13. He has heard all about Dave Concepcion,” Lewis says with a big smile.

    But leading change in the Anderson County Little League will not be as easy as going in the hole and throwing a one-hopper to first base.
