    We are safe from frost, so let the planting begin.
    It is warm enough for tomatoes, peppers and all sun loving vegetables.
    The strawberries are turning red, the iris are in full bloom and this Saturday I open the produce stand. In my book, that’s the beginning of summer.

  • Previously, on amateur wrestling ...

    I attended Wildcat Championship Wrestling for the first time about a month ago.
    Might as well been four years ago.
    Forget British period dramas with swooning orchestral soundtracks.
    Forget Grey’s Anatomy.
    Try following the soap operatic dramas of amateur wrestling.
    You miss one Saturday of Lawrenceburg wrestling, you’ve missed pages of plot.

  • Do mom and dad or government know what’s best?

    A philosophical debate is shaping up as class action lawsuits against public libraries continue to spread across Kentucky.

  • 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 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.
