Columns

First of all, I need to start my column this week with a word of thanks to three people.
This past Friday morning my sister had a minor run in with Mother Nature. As she was driving to school, her car hit a patch of ice and slid into oncoming traffic.
Luckily, the oncoming drivers, which included a school bus, were driving slowly enough to avoid a collision and no one was harmed.
After sliding into the oncoming lane, she headed her car into the nearest parking lot, which happened to be at The Work Connection.

The Marion County Knights’ basketball program has had its ups and downs over the 41 seasons it has been in existence. To start with, there have been 11 different head coaches, with the longest tenured head coach being Tim Davis who coached the Knights for 12 seasons in the 1980s and 1990s.
A quick look through history will show some of the reasons for the swings in the program’s history. 

Okay. So I thought that running in 5K races was going to be the only thing I did for the first time this year.
I completed my first one in Campbellsville in July and my second one, the Pokey Pig, at Ham Days.
Did I do great?
No not great, but I finished and I was happy with that.
