  • COLUMN: Winning is all that matters to these Cats

    You've got to love the swagger around the Anderson County football team.

    Friday night was supposed to be the night the Bearcats were ripe for an upset. You know all the issues.

    *Anderson was coming off an emotional win over Mercer County the week before.

    Anderson sidestepped dog ordinance ‘disaster’

    To the editor: 

    Having lived in rural Kentucky, I understand the difference between city dogs and country dogs. 

    That said, I presently live in Jefferson County where, several years ago, a much longer version of the recently proposed Anderson County dog ordinance was passed into law.

    Both ordinances can be traced back to the same source. Both ordinances were touted as cures to communities ravaged by dog attacks.

  • COLUMN: Gillispie’s rehab comments music to prosecutor’s ears

    Column as I see ’em ...

    You know that whole spiel the police go through while making an arrest? The “anything you say can and will be used against you” spiel?

  • Learning lesson from 12 years ago can help Bearcats repeat history

    Anderson County football coach Mark Peach hopes recent history repeats itself Friday night at Grant County.
