    The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:30 in the lower level of the Anthony D. Stratton building in the county park.

    The ordinance drew substantial criticism at a board meeting earlier this year when about 50 people attended, most voicing their displeasure and saying the ordinance needs to be overturned.

  • EMS workers get H1N1 shots

    Chances of a patient contracting the H1N1 or “swine” flu virus from an EMS employee went down considerably last Thursday morning.

    All EMS employees were offered free vaccinations against the disease in an effort to ensure they are able to do their jobs in the event of a massive outbreak, and to make sure they aren’t spreading it around.

    The Anderson County Health Department had a limited supply of the vaccine available, and Ambulance Director Bart Powell said it was critical for his employees to be among the first in line to get a dose.

  • Five injured in wreck on North Main

    A four-vehicle wreck on North Main Street at Bell Street sent five people to the hospital Wednesday afternoon.

    However, none of the injuries appeared to be severe or life threatening, said Lawrenceburg Police Officer Nathan Doty.

    Names of those in the accident have not been released.

    Two vehicles collided sending one of them into another vehicle and that vehicle into another.

    “It was kind of a chain reaction, or domino effect,” Doty said.

  • Which came first: stabbing or throwing?

    Did a stepfather stab his stepson first or did the stepson hit his stepfather in the head with a ceramic figurine first?

    That is the question officers with the Lawrenceburg police department are trying to sort out following an incident early last Friday morning at 217 Horn Drive.

    “That’s the million dollar question,” said Sgt. Chad Powell. “Both are being considered victims at this point.”

  • They call him Hunter

    He is perhaps the most appropriately named young man in Anderson County.

    Not only did Hunter Wilson, 12, bag a beautiful 9-point buck during the recent youth hunt season here, the seventh-grader also added a trophy elk to his resume during a youth elk hunt last month in Breathitt County.

    The bull elk weighed about 800 pounds and had a massive 6 by 5 rack that scored an impressive 300 points in the rating scale used to measure its size.
