  • Educate yourself, then decide

    Tuesday, voters in Marion, Mercer, Nelson, Taylor and Washington counties have the opportunity to vote for their next state senator.

    Based on the number of signs I've seen, I get the impression that many people have already made up their minds.

    That said, I hope every eligible voter (regardless of who they are planning to vote for) takes some time in the next week to evaluate the candidates, not just their party affiliation. (I'll avoid a rant about how worthless party affiliation is.)

  • Lady Knights have high expectations

    This season the Marion County Lady Knights come out with targets on their backs. That tends to happen when state and national publications rank you No. 1 in the state and region. Add a tough schedule from top to bottom and Head Coach Trent Milby has the makings for a championship season.

    "You're looking at 16 games against top 20 teams. That means that you just have to be ready to play each and every game," Milby said. "We're already going to take everybody's best shot as it is."

  • Cleaning up

    The Lebanon City Council has only approved the first reading of a proposed property maintenance code ordinance, but building inspector John Thompson believes it is already making a difference.

    "One lady has already torn three houses down," he said. "We may already be experiencing the effects of the ordinance."

    Thompson hopes that is only the beginning. He estimated there are 10 properties in the city that could become the focus of the city's initial enforcement efforts if the council approves a second reading of the ordinance.
