    Sports editor

    Though Scott McClamroch was not there to see it, each Eminence runner crossed the finish line after completing the tough Gallatin County cross-country course for the first time since McClamroch took over the program three years ago. McClamroch had to miss the meet, but was highly impressed with the results he saw from his team last Tuesday.

    In what has become a familiar sight for the Henry County football team so far this season, the Wildcats jumped all over their opponent Friday night — dominating the stats on both sides of the ball, holding a team scoreless for the fourth time in as many tries and coming away with a convincing 58-0 win over visiting Pendleton County.

  • Boys' golf team wins again, focus now shifts to regionals

    Sports editor

    Williamstown drastically improved its team score from 226 the last time Henry County was pitted against the Demons to a 184 last Wednesday, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Henry as the visiting Wildcats came away with a three-stoke win, 184-181.

    The week before, Henry shot its best team score of the season with a 173 against Carroll County on its home course. The 181 is right in range with the regional championship less than a week away.

  • HCPS progressing toward CATS goals

    General Manager

    If the hopes of Henry County Public Schools officials hold merit, the winds of change could bring a boost to the district’s CATS scores.

    Gains in portfolio scores at Henry County Middle School and Henry County High School, and gains in math scores at the middle school, gave Superintendent Tim Abrams hope.

    “I’m very excited about the future for both of those schools,” he said, adding that the 2008-2009 school year brings increased expectations for all students.

    I hope and pray everybody who will be 18 by Nov. 4 is registered to vote at their present address. Everyone needs to vote for their choice.

  • Thomas withdraws from council race

    My name is Richard Thomas. I am a member of the Eminence City Council. I want the residents to know that on Sept. 8, I officially withdrew my name as candidate for reelection to Eminence City Council.

    When I took office, I told the residents that I would do the best job for them that I could. But when I stood up for what is right, I was voted down 5-1, often. Numerous threats have been made against me. I took my concerns to several government agencies, including the FBI. Only time will tell what will happen.

  • Better notification needed

    When school is called off, everyone knows before their first cup of coffee.

    As a customer of the Henry County Water District, I am upset with the way the recent water outage was handled. I completely understand the problems that can arise when dealing with broken infrastructure in a large area. I can even maintain patience when those problems cause me to conserve water over a long period of time. However, I am outraged at the lack of communication the water district had, not only to me, but also to the children of our community.

  • Ike made getting home a bit difficult

    I’m sure most of us will remember where we were when hurricane force winds ripped through the midwest, knocking out power for hundreds of thousands, just in our little neck of the woods.

    In fact, I was in the woods when the winds hit.

    I gave in to what has become a regular weekend urge, and went for a hike Sunday morning. I laced up my now well worn boots, tossed the backpack in the truck and made for Clifty Falls State Park.
