Just catching up on a few things as fall sports are getting into full swing....

First, the Anderson County volleyball game at Cornerstone Christian, scheduled for Monday night, Aug. 17, has been canceled. Cornerstone also canceled the return match set for later in the season at Anderson and has apparently canceled the boys' basketball game set for this fall, according to Anderson athletic director Rick Sallee.

The year has begun the same way but Anderson County's girls' soccer team does not want a repeat performance from 2008.

The Lady Bearcats already have a gold medal from the Bluegrass State games and a win over perennial power South Oldham, just as last summer. But reality is sometimes a harsh teacher: Not one of those victories really mattered.

Nice and prestigious, for sure, but they were till scrimmages.

Anderson hopes to have learned the hard lesson a year ago.

On July 21, the Anderson County grand jury indicted Carolyn Goodwin, 44, of Louisville, on a charge of complicity to theft by unlawful taking (more than $300).

The following people were indicted Aug. 4 by the Anderson County Grand Jury.

Anthony Jewell, of 1203 Caldwell Road, was indicted on two counts of first-degree sexual abuse.

Andrew B. Garlen, 25, of Frankfort was indicted on one count of first-degree perjury.

Stephanie N. Cummins, 26, of 310 1/2 Bond Street, was indicted on one count of first-degree perjury.

Column as I see ’em ...

When word gets around that the police are giving people a 10 mph break in a 55 zone, people will drive 65.

When they learn that they can fudge certain portions on their tax return, people will cheat.

When parents don’t enforce a curfew, children will be delinquents.

And when they learn that the rules at Lawrenceburg Cemetery aren’t enforced, people will break them.

That’s the trouble with rules. Unless they are consistently enforced, they might as well be suggestions.
