    ‘Hooligan’ columnist is one with no class

    To the editor:

    Sharon Graves sounds like a sore loser on the Carroll County girls’ fan club in her column last week about Anderson’s “hooligans.”

    Any parent would be proud to have as their son any one of the boys who were called “roughnecks, rowdy bullies and hooligans.”

    I have watched basketball for many years and have heard the phrase “air ball” all of my life. Get real, lady.

    Bearcat Girl is ready. And very confident.

    A fixture at Anderson County basketball games since her freshman year, now Bearcat Girl gets to retire her cape in Rupp Arena.

    Carlton’s letter missed the mark

    To the editor:

    Will Carlton missed the point I was trying to make in his letter last week titled ‘Missed opportunity to teach a lesson.’

    It was not my intention on making this personal. I was merely stating a problem, as well as speaking for others that I know share in my thinking.

    By Tuesday, he had issued a statement through County Attorney Bobbi Jo Lewis’ office, saying that while he still thought the decision was “morally correct,” he would in the future consult the county attorney before taking similar action.

  • Both sides of Barbie

    At 50, Barbie certainly doesn’t look her age.

    The 11.5-inch plastic doll doesn’t look a day older than she did when she was first “born” in 1959.

    But over the course of her half century, she sure has managed to stir up a lot of trouble. So much so that legislators in a state or two have tried to get the sale of the doll banned.
