    Letters between Mayor Edwinna Baker, City Attorney Robert Myles and attorney Walter Patrick, a lifetime member of the Post, rehash an issue that arose last month when the mayor OK’d a new Little League backstop at the Legion park after Legion officials stopped its construction.

  • COLUMN: With spring looming, go ahead and rush summer along

    The birds are singing. The sun is shining. I’m coming out of hibernation. I have spring fever, bad.

    I got the bug the other day and went outside to play in the dirt. I didn’t stay long — it was 35 degrees. Soon those morning temps will be rising and I can’t wait.

  • Young caps career with national championship

    Not many people can make the claim Kelli Young can.

    Not Kareem or Walton or any other UCLA great of the past. Not Groza, Delk, Givens or any other Kentucky Wildcat. Not Jordan or Hansbrough or any North Carolina Tar Heel.

    Four years of varsity college basketball. Four national championships.

  • COLUMN: Lady Bearcat potential turns gloomy morning to sunshine

    When the alarm clocks went off in Bowling Green on Thursday morning, it was raining.

    Really only a drizzle, just nasty enough to make your joints ache.

    That's all it was. Nothing more than a gloomy feeling.

    What a fitting morning to follow Anderson County's ouster from the girls' state basketball tournament the night before. Clay County took the lead early, built it to 20 points, then turned back a furious Anderson rally to prevail 70-55.

    It really was not supposed to be that way.

  • Letters to the editor - 3.10

    Stop being wasteful and recycle

    To the editor:

    We all hear and say things about going green. Why are we not doing our part? 

    I would love to be able to recycle my garbage that can be recycled. I hate the thought of throwing all the things that could be reused into the garbage. We could save so much land if we would just invest, as the new garbage company has invested in the new trucks and containers, in a program that maybe could provide for recyclables pick-up.

  • COLUMN: Remembering when Lawrenceburg first felt like home

    We arrived in Lawrenceburg in January 1996 and literally drove up to a house I hadn’t seen since I was a child and had little memory about it.

    Mike and the kids had only seen pictures. We had followed a bad snowstorm cross-country from California. It was a less than joyous trip fraught with mishaps, making for cranky children.
