  • COLUMN: Get prepared for winter to help save on energy bills

    As the leaves go from green to gold, and the makings for compost blanket the lawn, I have one constant chore, removing sticktights. Walking the farm leaves me covered with the little seeds that attach themselves to almost everything.

    Spanky and Tiller get covered from head to toe causing me to keep the brushes by the back door. I’ve learned to wear nylon. I really believe that some scientist ought to study those little seeds and make them the “new” Velcro of our time.

    Where’s ‘revolt’ over sewer billing?

    To the editor:

    Have any citizens written opinions to The Anderson News about the sewer billing in Lawrenceburg?

    I’m surprised people haven’t begun a revolt.

    We live in Briar Creek and recently had to water quite a bit outside to get new grass to germinate before cold weather (we did have a dry spell in September) and I just received my water bill for the month.

    SHELBYVILLE – When tournament time rolls around, volleyball is just like any other sport.

  • 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.

  • 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.”
