One of the nation’s best-known and most controversial senators will be in Lawrenceburg this Thursday morning.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Bowling Green) will meet the public from 10 to 11 a.m. at the Best Western, located on US 127 Bypass across from the high school.
The event is open to the public, Paul’s staff said.
Paul visited Lawrenceburg in 2009 during his run for US Senate. Known for his libertarian leanings, Paul drew national attention when he spent 13 hours on a filibuster to oppose a presidential nomination for the CIA and the use of drones.

Truman Wells, an Anderson County World War II veteran who received his high school diploma at age 85 and was recognized by former Congressman Ben Chandler for his service, died Jan. 16 at the Veterans Affairs Center in Lexington.
Wells was a native of Anderson County, and was born the son of the late Lillis Ray Drury and Roy Thomas Wells.
Wells worked for many years as a respected contractor in Lawrenceburg, and served in the infantry division of the U.S. Army during World War II. He saw action in Normandy and was the recipient of the Purple Heart.

When Obamacare launched last October, Rodney Goodlett, owner of the Goodlett Insurance Group in Anderson County, was all set to help the uninsured sign up.
Goodlett, who says he could “see both sides” of the controversial new healthcare law, spent hours training and testing to become certified to sign people up in the state’s insurance exchange but soon realized that effort simply wouldn’t pay off.

Even a night when Anderson County was burning the nets was not enough in a district matchup at Collins last Tuesday.

The Bearcats shot better than 73 percent (19-for-26) and missed just one two-point field goal attempt all night but still came up short in a 63-55 decision that dropped the Bearcats to 0-2 in 30th District play.
