Following a 70-0 record over the course of two seasons, the Lebanon Middle School girls’ basketball team finished the year with a 20-7 record. The Lady Patriots finished runner-up to Anderson County, possibly the best middle school team in the state in a recent tournament.

"The girls really played hard and improved as season went on. They now will move on to the high school and play for the freshman team," coach Trent Milby said.

Milby listed members of the team and a brief note about each one.

Team members include:

A fire consumed a Lebanon automotive repair garage and destroyed at least seven vehicles Tuesday, Nov. 17.

The garage was Seals Auto Sales and Auto Repair located at 980 Loretto Road.

Initially, the Lebanon Police received a report of a car fire at 10:57 that morning. When firefighters arrived on scene, they found something even more serious. As it turned out the car was inside a garage, along with four more cars, tires and an oil drum, according to Lebanon Fire Chief Ricky Mattingly.

Many, maybe even most, drivers will get a ticket at some time in their lives.

Speeding is the most frequent offense, but it's not the only one. Reckless driving, ignoring traffic control devices and not wearing a seat belt can all attract the attention of a law enforcement officer in Kentucky.

No one likes getting pulled over, but almost every time, if we are being honest, we know what driving violation we have committed before the officer asks for our license and registration.

I've been trying a lot of new dishes lately. I don't know why, maybe it has something to do with winter coming, a connection with the squirrelly part of my family.

And speaking of nuts, this new pecan pie recipe I tried is so good it rivals my mom's favorite pie.

She wasn't a frequent pie baker, but pecan pie was her favorite and this time of year, when the pecans came in, she'd fix it often.

This first recipe is from Sunnyland Farms in Albany, Ga., and it is to die for.
