  • SOFTBALL: Rivalry gets ailing Lady Cats going against Shelby

    There's nothing like a good old-fashioned rivalry to get a softball team out of a little bit of a funk.

    Granted, Anderson County did not blow 30th District foe Shelby County off the field last Thursday, getting just five hits in a 3-0 home field win.

    And to be sure, the Shelby County of 2013, while vastly improved since the first time the teams had met nearly a month before, is not the same Shelby that was locked in a perennial battle with Anderson for Eighth Region supremacy just a few years back.

  • BASEBALL: Bearcats battle through tough times, get needed win at Henry

    NEW CASTLE – This one could have hurt. Badly.

    Clinging to a razor-thin margin that had looked like a sure blowout just two innings before and seeing the tying run ready to charge just 90 feet away and still two outs to go, somehow Anderson County held on.

    When Anderson left hander Brandon Eliadis got Henry County batter Dylan Adams on a called third strike to end the Bearcats' 8-7 win, there were simultaneous sighs of relief and shouts of jubilation.

    LEXINGTON – Tyson Yett was one busy young man Friday night.

  • COLUMN: Living a dream

    There is just something about those quiet types, you know.

    Not a lot of chatter, not a lot of extraneous noise. When they talk, it's generally to the point.

    In the lustrous annals of University of Kentucky basketball, there probably have been few quieter than A'dia Mathies.

    That means when she speaks, we'd do well to listen.

    Firefighters reduced a mountain of flaming vinyl material to smoldering ashes after battling a massive fire Friday near the Dlubak Glass Company in the Lawrenceburg industrial park.

    A four-story tall pile of vinyl and glass — what appeared to be the material that prevents windshields from shattering like normal glass — burst into flames at about noon Friday.

    Emergency management asked all city and county residents to conserve water as firefighters tried to control the blaze. Residents were able to resume normal water usage later that afternoon.

    Lawrenceburg industrial park fire appears to be largely out and the burning pile is now just smoldering as of 2:30 p.m., a source at the scene of the fire said.

    Emergency Management Director Bart Powell says there have been no evacuations in Anderson County mostly because of the weather.

    The wind was taking the smoke high in the sky, at least a 100 feet up, and the smoke only touched the ground once, Powell said.
