  • Three barrels, two hearts, one championship

    Imagine a rookie learning the game teaming with an aging, overweight teammate suffering from arthritis to win a state championship.

    Far-fetched?

    Don’t tell Hannah Alves.

    The Anderson County Middle School student entered the final weekend of the 2009 barrel racing season in second place, just 32 points behind the state leader in the Division 3 standings.

    Hannah took the lead with a second-place finish at Carrollton Friday night, then won her race in Lewisburg, Ohio on Saturday.

  • COLUMN: Rolling on rollover no more

    So, apparently I talk a lot.

    Those of you who have never met me may find that hard to believe, but those of you who know me know that once you get me started, I just keep going.

    Apparently last month I just kept going and going and going — at least on my cell phone.

    My parents still receive the paper copy of my cell phone bill, so imagine my surprise when my mother called last Thursday and told me my bill for that month was nearly $400.

    Yes, $400. It’s normally about $60.

  • Letters to the editor - 7.22

    Paper should focus on Obama, not Dahlen

    To the editor:

    Picking up [last week’s edition of] The Anderson News, as we always do, was a true disappointment to my husband and myself.

    It’s not that the “Dentist charged” (you know the rest) story was in the paper, but where and how it was displayed. You must have needed this for your ratings.

    With what is happening, the destruction of our nation by [President] Obama’s agenda, is this the best you can do?

  • Ex-youth pastor's bond reduced

    Bond was reduced Tuesday morning for the ex-youth pastor accused of raping and sodomizing two teenagers in 1992.

    Gordon Lunceford, 46, made his first appearance in Anderson County Circuit Court after turning himself into authorities following a grand jury indictment in June.

    His attorney, Guthrie True of Frankfort, asked Circuit Court Judge Charles Hickman to have Lunceford’s $10,000 bond reduced to $1,000, which Hickman and Commonwealth’s Attorney Laura Donnell accepted.

    Hickman set Lunceford’s next court appearance for Oct. 6 at 9 a.m.

  • Gilbert places third runner-up in state pageant

    The third time proved to be the best time for Holly Gilbert.

    Gilbert posted her best finish ever last week, finishing third runner-up in the Miss Kentucky Scholarship Pageant in Lexington. She placed in the top 10 in her previous two entries in the pageant, and said a change in her approach to the pageant is likely what led her to her best finish this year.

    “This year I wasn’t concerned about what the judges were writing,” she said. “The score really didn’t matter to me, and that’s what made all the difference.”

  • Strike up the band!

    Rarely does a vote of the Board of Education garner applause from the crowd in attendance, but such was the case Monday night as the board agreed to purchase more than $18,000 in equipment for the Anderson County High School marching band.

    New band director Patrick Brady had more than moral support as he asked the board for the funding. Many students and parents helped fill the board room, and newly elected board chairman Lee Hahn acknowledged there was strength in numbers, telling Brady that it helped his cause to have so much support with him.
