  • Past not repeated as Bearcats rout Spencer County

    Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

    --George Santayana

    It is doubtful that Santayana's name was called during football practices at Anderson County last week, but his presence was there.

    And the Bearcats were determined that the past was not going to repeat when they hosted Spencer County. Coming off a 10-7 loss that cost the Bearcats both a district championship and a perfect season, the conditions could have been right for Spencer to pull a monumental upset.

  • COLUMN: A Halloween 'princess diary'

    Being a Disney princess never goes out of style — on Halloween that is.

    In my research for the story on today’s front page, I learned that Disney princess costumes are the seventh most popular among children this year. And of course, if you have a young girl in the family or take a stroll through any toy section for any reason, you’re bound to see the whole gang — Snow White, Belle, Cinderella, Aurora.

    For me, I’m not exactly sure who came first, Belle or Cinderella. Either way, they both have left vivid Halloween stories in my memory.

  • COLUMN: Nothing middling about the Mustangs

    There has been nothing middling about the Anderson County Mustangs this fall.

    At least when it comes to sports teams there's been nothing middling.

    Absolutely nothing.

    Everything has been first class.

    Itt has been a time of joy. A time of excitement and a time to celebrate.

    In case you have missed it, the Mustang football team finished 12-2 and was runner-up in the state tournament. The boys' soccer team went 8-2-1. A newer team, archery, was invited to go to Disney World for the world championships of the National Archery in the Schools Program.

    Elk photo akin to watching ‘vomit in color’

    To the editor:

    Once again my senses were pinched by a ghastly color photo of a beautiful, dead animal on the cover of [last week’s] paper.

    It happens every year.

    Yes, I know all the reasons. They eat the meat, it’s a sport, family activity, good for kids’ self-esteem, etc.

    I completely understand and know there is an overpopulation of deer. Heck, they brought the elk in just so they could be shot at, I guess.

  • COLUMN: Let's bring our families together for a winter dance

    A couple weekends ago I was asked for my opinion on an idea one by one of my church members.

    The idea was to have a family dance around this winter, which my mom and I think is a great idea for a variety of reasons.

    There isn’t a lot to do during the winter besides sit at home because it’s cold and few sports seasons are in play.

    The dance would be inside, where it would be warm, and we could have fun socializing and dancing.

    Who doesn’t love a few hours of that?

  • COLUMN Wooly bears, plants offer predictions for winter

    As we fall deeper into our cold season, we can watch for several signs, like the “old-timers” did.

    They watched their environment. I use several of these folklore forecasters. It’s fun and it’s fairly accurate. Just keep an eye on your environment.

    Start watching the moon for halos. A lot of them means a lot of snow falls. Take a look at the wooly worms. They’re all over the place right now. There are several different kinds of wooly bears, and they do come in different bands of colors or even solid black.

  • MUSTANG MANIA: They just keep on winning

    Clay Birdwhistell took a game program, then rolled it tightly into his right hand.

    Wooden, you know. John Wooden.

    “Do I look that old?” Birdwhistell asked on his Twitter account.

    Well, not really. Birdwhistell is in his early 30s while the Wizard of Westwood recently celebrated No. 99.
