  • Trimble takes fair crown

    Only one word could sum up the way Samantha Trimble felt as she heard her name announced Monday night as this year’s Miss Lawrenceburg Fair and Horse Show: “Thrilled!”

    “I’m so excited,” said Trimble, the 18-year-old daughter of Kelley and Terry Trimble. “There were seven beautiful girls up there, and I’m thrilled to be chosen (as the winner).”

    Apparently, she was thrilled and thankful.

    The first thing she did after leaving the pageant stage was thank the judges.

  • Robinson named first team all-state

    A trip to Mississippi turned out to be more than B.J. Robinson expected last week.

    While helping former Anderson County track coach Travis Gay in his move to the Biloxi area, Robinson learned that he had been named Class AAA first team all-state pole vaulter by the Kentucky Track and Cross Country Coaches’ Association.

    “We were on a basketball court and Coach Gay handed me a piece of paper. I didn’t even know they had all-state,” Robinson chuckled.

  • COLUMN: Goodbye to a good guy

    It just won’t be the same next winter.

    At least when Oldham County comes to town next January.

    Gary Forrest won’t be there.

    Oh, he might be in the building, we don’t know. But someone else will be sitting in the visiting coach’s seat.

    Forrest announced in April that he would be stepping aside after guiding the program that became the Eighth Region’s most dominant of this decade.

  • COLUMN: Home-buying tips for my neighbors

    Five minutes.

    It only took five minutes to drive to work on Monday morning, and I don’t imagine it will differ much from here on out.

    Do you know how fabulous that is?

    That’s right, neighbors. I’m an official Lawrenceburgian…umm, Lawrenceburgite…hmm, we’ll just go with my personal favorite — Lawrenceburger.

    As of last Friday afternoon, my husband and I no longer live in Lexington, and I no longer have to drive 40 minutes or so to work every day. It’s amazing.

    That sort of reaction doesn’t come as a surprise from residents who are sick of being told one thing, only to get no-thing.
