  • Tough Tuesday for local hoop teams

    All four local high school basketball teams dropped Tuesday night tilts on the road as regular-season play winded down.

    Campbellsville’s boys fell 59-58 at Green County when Justin Givens’ lane jumper came just before the final buzzer to offset Myan Rice’s three, which had put the Eagles up.

    The Lady Dragons rolled 81-31 over the Lady Eagles behind Kelsea Mitchell’s 18 points while Tiffany Slone led CHS with 15.

    TCHS’ Lady Cardinals fell 72-59 at Hart County as the Lady Raiders placed five in double figures.

  • No. 5-rated Lady Tigers remain undefeated in MSC

    Ginger Colvin thought she might need to call the Rio Grande (Ohio) EMS on Saturday afternoon to see if her team had a heartbeat. And it wasn’t a false alarm. The Lady Tigers chucked the resuscitator, though, and extended their Mid-South win streak to 10, and a sparkling 25-1 overall record, with a 79-67 victory over the Red Storm.

    “We just came out flat,” Colvin said. “I thought Whitney (Ballinger) got hammered early, and it took us awhile to get things going.”

  • A very, very sad Mac

    I just wanted to check my e-mail.

    I opened the door to my home office, waited until my three cats ran past me to get to their toys, sat down and clicked my computer mouse.

    Nothing.

    The computer froze. No big deal. I'll just hit the power button and manually turn the computer off and restart.

    The familiar Mac startup chimes gave me comfort. Then ... nothing.

    A blue screen ... then black ... then blue again.

    Then, it happened. That darn little icon with a question mark ... and a sad Mac face. At this point, my face was sad, too.

  • Don't measure progress on Mondays

    Do you ever have those days when you wonder why you got out of bed? Monday was one of those days for me.

    It all started while I was making breakfast. First, I burned my hand on my stovetop espresso maker. No big deal, I thought. At least it woke me up. Then, I burned my pancakes. I ate 'em anyway. They were still better than those frozen things.

    When I got to work, later than usual and I'm not sure how that happened, things got worse.

  • Blood drive planned for child with leukemia

    Lexi Derringer is only 3 years old, but she is one tough cookie.

    She was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia, known as ALL, on Friday, Nov. 13. Friday the 13th is widely known as an unlucky day, but for Lexi's parents, Kevin and Christy Derringer of Campbellsville, that day was a nightmare.

  • Yep ... it's tax time! Are you ready?

    Thanks to several new tax credits, some taxpayers could be smiling instead of cringing after filing their taxes this year.

    The deadline to file income taxes is April 15 and, according to local tax preparers, those who haven't yet filed should be on the lookout for new credits.

    For taxpayers who are drawing unemployment, the first $2,400 of unemployment benefits is tax exempt.
