  • COLUMN: Neither sport, nor life, is always fair

    They say that sports teaches so much about life.

    Hard work comes before success. Discipline. Character shows greatest in adversity. We accomplish more as a team than individuals. All time-worn cliches, but those cliches carry so much truth that Vince Lombardi is quoted more in corporate board rooms than locker rooms and John Wooden's Pyramid of Success is still considered a winning formula 35 years after he hung up the clipboard.

    But there is something else about sports and life: Neither one is fair.

    Just ask Will Ruggles.

  • COLUMN: Above all, Tea Party people dislike Obama's color

    It is strange to me that the Tea Party folks waited until after the presidential election to start marching around, even though they say they are just against bad government, which supposedly includes both the Republicans and the Democrats.

    They say way more other stuff, and it all looks loosely stitched together under a big banner of dislike for Obama.

  • Lady Bearcats show Cann-do spirit on way to district crown

    Mackenzie Cann's game was so much like an All-American on Friday night that it could be easy to forget she has not even taken her first class at Anderson County High School.

    Nervous when she stepped to the free throw line with the Lady Bearcats clinging to a one-point lead before a district championship game crowd that had grown to nearly 2,500 screaming fans and 2.2 seconds to play in overtime? Against her team's most heated rival, Shelby County?

    “Oh, yeah,” Cann said with a giggle.

    Carlton thanks Heritage Hall, Hospice

    To the editor,

    I would like to this opportunity to thank the wonderful staff at Heritage Hall for their loving care of my grandmother, Naomi Brown.

    Each staff member looked after her with the same love and affection they would show their own loved ones. As my grandmother’s end neared, everyone in the building from the administration to the custodians bent over backward to make sure that not only she was comfortable, but that our family was comfortable as well.
