  • SOFTBALL: Lady Bearcats keep rolling, beat No. 7 Manual

    Anderson County, ranked 11th statewide, managed just four hits, including Tiffany Davenport's home run, but managed to defeat No. 7 DuPont Manual 3-1 in fast-pitch softball action Tuesday night at Anderson.

    Davenport's fourth-inning shot to left center gave the Lady Bearcats some breathing room and was the decisive blow as the Lady Bearcats improved to 21-5 and recorded their 18th win in 19 games.

    Pitcher Courtney Turpin gave up just three hits and issued no walks. She struck out six.

    Editor Carlson needs dog training

    To the editor:

    I am writing you in regards to your recent columns and editorials pertaining to pit bulls.

    You seem to only want to hear one side of the story.

    I believe one description you used was “slobbering, blood-eyed monster chained up next door.” I am personally disgusted to read such articles. I am hopeful that this letter will help clarify some things about pit bulls and also help educate others.

  • 'Fast kids' send Lady Bearcats past Henry Clay

    The “Fast Kids” were blazing for Anderson County on Wednesday night.

    Chelsea Bright singled, driving in Lauren Brown with one out in the ninth inning to give Anderson a 2-1 win over Henry Clay in the final home softball game of the season.

    Brown had reached on a single and advanced to second base on a wild pitch. She easily scored on Bright's single to give Anderson its 20th win in 21 games.

  • Column: Did you see those scores?

    When I sent a Twitter message out Saturday saying that Anderson County baseball had defeated Bell County 32-2, I was wrong.

    Surely, Anderson could not beat Bell, a team that is touted as a 13th Region contender, by more runs than most teams score in a week, some in a month.

    So I was wrong. It wasn’t 32-2.

    It was worse. Since I was unable to attend that game at Woodford County, a parent text messaged the score in good faith.

    A car is being blamed for running a tractor-trailer off the road early Monday morning on the Bluegrass Parkway near the Washington County line.

    A white passenger car is suspected of cutting off the truck, causing it to flip on to its side, according to a news release issued by Deputy Brian Wooldridge of the Anderson County Sheriff’s Department.

    The westbound truck wiped out several hundred feet of guardrail before flipping over and spilling its contents of wood chips.

  • Law would tighten leash on pit bulls

    Owning a pit bull in Anderson County won’t be illegal, but it will be much more difficult and expensive if the fiscal court approves a rough draft of a pit bull ordinance.

    Magistrates received their first look at the ordinance during Tuesday morning’s meeting of the Anderson County Fiscal Court.

    The ordinance, drafted by County Attorney Bobbi Jo Lewis, addresses a myriad of dog-related issues, including what will happen when dogs are declared potentially vicious or vicious.
