  • Mourning having missed memorable Game 6

    I missed the most memorable game in World Series history.  
    And it’s killing me.
    You’ve all probably moved on from last week’s Fall Classic.
    But I haven’t.
    If I were a true fan, I suppose I would have moved mountains to watch the late night Game 6 dramatics between the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals.  
    But I can’t bear the start and stop of slow online streaming and that dreaded spinning rainbow wheel.

  • A case for, against health director

    The Anderson County Board of Health will likely decide the fate of embattled health director Brandon Hurley when it meets Thursday night.
    This newspaper has not endorsed keeping him or firing him, and will not do so here. Instead, we’ll examine the pros and cons of each.
    First some background. Hurley has been health director for about three years. Soon after he came aboard, the health board — an unelected group of residents with varied professional backgrounds — continued a decade-long discussion on whether to construct a new building.

  • COLUMN: Bearcat-Dragon matchup sets up unbelievability

    You can try all you want, but nothing that will happen when Anderson County and South Oldham tangle Friday night will top the last time the teams met.


    I guess it would be possible but finding a football game to top that one on the unbelievable scale – from 1 to 10, it was a 15 – will be about like finding someone that can act better than Tom Hanks, rock better than Mick Jagger or tickle a fiddle better than Charlie Daniels.

    You might find one, but just don’t count on it.


    Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

  • Homeschool students stage protest


    Lawrenceburg home school students occupied a different kind of classroom last Thursday — a sit-in in the Kentucky governor’s hallway.
    Sporting blue and green tie-dyed T-shirts, about 10 home school students held up handmade posters detailing the correlation between mountain removal and coal mining to mercury in fish. Some of the younger students handed out business cards with EPA facts and poll sheets.  But as members of the First Lego League, these students weren’t only protesting.
    They were competing.

  • Marching into record books

    The Anderson County marching band marched right past last year’s state semi-final ranking, snagging seventh place out of 16 teams at the state contest on Oct. 29.
    The band was a point and a half away from the coveted fourth place spot and a place in the state finals, director Patrick Brady said.
    “For that fourth spot, everyone was battling for it,” he said.

    A Lawrenceburg man suspected in at least four area hotel robberies is proclaiming his innocence from behind bars.
