  • November on Bearcat minds during trip to Meade

    BRANDENBURG – Everything Anderson County football did on Aug. 27 was done with an eye on November.

    Everything from traveling to Meade County on the same chartered busses the Kentucky Wildcats often use down to noting what happened after the game had ended was pointing to November 5, when the state playoffs start, and beyond.

    That is why Anderson coach Mark Peach, as intense a competitor as has ever graced a sideline, could smile after Meade's 28-21 win and say, “We'll be fine.”

  • Crane making mark as local conservation officer

    It’s still hot but at least fall is coming. Of course with fall brings the opening of many different hunting seasons, cooling waters to fish in and leaves turning colors to enhance the scenery. Like I’ve written before, there’s just nothing like the sights, sounds and smells of being in the woods in the fall enjoying God’s creations to the fullest.

  • COLUMN: What to wear? It really can be a problem

    There are not many times when I am in a tizzy about what to wear. Usually it is pull a shirt out, hope the pants match and head out.

    But I will have to admit that I have put quite a bit of thought into what not to wear on more than one occasion.

    By now I am sure you have heard about Renee Gork, the radio host in Arkansas that apparently offended Bobby Petrino – really, now, isn't the list of those who have not gotten on his wrong side much shorter, anyway?

  • COLUMN: Don’t fret, cooler weather is on its way

    Does it make you feel any better if I tell you that our first frost is only 10 weeks away? Well, the week of Halloween is usually when we get the first hard frost, in an average year. I don’t know if this is an average year, but I do know that it’s time to really get cranking if you want a fall garden.

    It’s a little late to start cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi and brussel’s sprouts from seed. But you can get the plants and plant the end of this month.
