  • Trial team fares well at state competition

    Anderson County High School has produced more than its share of attorneys, and more could be on the way.
    Thirteen students competed earlier this month in a mock trial competition in Louisville, finishing 2-2 and impressing those who helped get them there.

    What a wild weather ride.
    It sometimes seems like we have all four seasons in one day.
    One thought keeps me moving, though, summer is coming. Despite the wild fluctuation of temperatures, we really have to get busy.
