‘It’s going to be really cool’

While the rest of America gazes at the sky for what is being billed as the best solar eclipse in a century, one Tyrone resident will have his eyes trained on something a bit more technical.

Shawn Crowe, a meteorologist with Central Kentucky Weather, has a fully functional weather station at his home on Wildcat Road, and it’s fair to say he’s excited to see the moon blot out all but 4 percent of the sun that afternoon.

Bearcats eye return to glory

The last two years have not seen real Anderson County football.

Oh, the Bearcats have run onto the home field wearing those red jerseys, white pants and white helmets. The band has been playing the “Washington and Lee Swing” and the stands have generally been packed unless it has been raining.

Kays claims 2018 DYW crown

Evan Kays says she has always looked up to former Distinguished Young Woman winners, like Molly Kays and Lauren Fowler, hoping that one day she could be honored with the same title.

This year she accomplished that goal when she was recognized as the Anderson County 2018 Distinguished Young Woman. Kays competed against eight other young woman in the community with a 10-minute pre-show interview, fitness routine, 90-second talent competition and an onstage interview question, all while keeping with the motto, “Put your best self forward.”

Man suing cop he once called his ‘hero’

Now that the criminal trial for the man who was found not guilty of attempting to murder former Lawrenceburg police officer Clay Crouch has ended, the lawsuits have begun.

Lawrenceburg resident Jimmy Desponett, 80, was seriously injured in a high-speed chase when John Tompkins of Danville lead Crouch on a 10-mile chase that ended when Thompkins’ truck slammed into Desponett’s pickup on Ballard Road in November of 2015.

Need glasses for eclipse? Good luck

If you haven’t purchased your 2017 Total Solar Eclipse glasses you may be out of luck.

Local suppliers such as Kroger, Walmart, and Five Star have sold out and said they will not be getting in any further shipments before the eclipse takes place Aug. 21.

Online retailers, including Amazon, are still offering the glasses despite having to recall pairs sold that don’t meet safety standards, but it’s anyone’s guess if purchases made at this late date will arrive before Monday’s historic event.

Police say DUI suspect litterbug, too

A woman who was allegedly drunk when the vehicle she was driving struck a tree has also been charged with criminal littering, according to a citation issued by the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office.

Rebecca Block, 37, of 217 Brookview Drive, Shelbyville allegedly tossed five whiskey bottles and a brown paper sack over a fence and into a field before police arrived to the scene of her wreck Aug. 11 on Jenny Lillard Road, according to the citation.

New net coach looks to hang banners

As he stops practice to point out some errors in how his Anderson County volleyball team is doing things, new coach Ryan Brown displays the patience of knowing he's dealing with high school girls, but also the drive that indicates he has high expectations for the Lady Bearcats.
