  • COLUMN: Voters, lend me your ears

    Forty-eight days.

    Not counting today, that is the exact number of days left until the general election Nov. 2.

    Voters have 48 days to make up their minds about who to vote for, and those running for office have 48 days to get their messages to the masses.

    Here at The Anderson News, we’ve come up with a way to kill both of these birds with one stone — our website.

  • Magness Magic beats Bearcats

    Anderson County had fair warning that Henry County was able to explode at any time.

    There was fair warning that the Wildcats' quarterback, Luke Magness, is one of Kentucky's best and certainly the best the Bearcats would face all season. Fair warning that even though Henry competes in Class 3A and Anderson is perceived to be two notches higher at 5A,  when the teams line up, both have 11 on the field.

    No more, no less.

  • COLUMN: It's time to pick some new bloomers for spring

    I was looking at some pictures my cousin sent the other day, while waiting for the weather radar to download on my computer.

    Here I was wishing for rain on the farm when it dawned on me that the only grass my young cousin has to enjoy in Chicago was the little strip between the sidewalk and the street. We just don’t know how lucky we are to live here in Kentucky.

    We did get a little rain. Now maybe we can dig with something less than a pick ax.

  • Lady Bearcats slip past Boyle in tourney

    DANVILLE – Anderson County needed a win Saturday like a pizza needs tomato sauce and cheese.

    OK, the Lady Bearcats' straits probably were not that dire, but after dropping a semi-final match in the Little Caesar's Classic, the Lady Bearcats rallied to defeat host Boyle County in the third place game of the tournament Saturday afternoon.

    Anderson overcame a sluggish first half when Madison Carter scored with 10 minutes to play, then, after escaping a pair of Boyle threats, won in a 7-deep shootout. Officially, Anderson was credited with a 2-1 victory.
