Lady Cats drop Owen

Errors can be downright painful. In games against Walton-Verona and Carroll County last week, the Henry County Lady Cats felt just how painful those errors can be.

The Walton-Verona Bearcats used strong hitting and took advantage of 9 Lady Cat errors to pull away for a 17-6 win on Thursday night. The game was close early at 9-6 after three innings but the Bearcats pulled away in the final inning for the comfortable win.

Stay productive, not busy

By Lance Minnis

Two weeks ago, I went riding on my new bicycle out of Eminence and into the countryside. My thoughts as rambling as my bike, I let my mind wander across the scenery, and whatever fancies occurred as I rode.

As I came cycling over a hill, I saw a man on his expensive zero turn riding mower cutting the grass of an enormous yard. At least 20 acres in size, the poor man must cut that grass at least once per week, at the cost of several hours each time.

Boost your older home’s energy...

Over the years, improved technology has made many new homes more energy efficient, but you shouldn’t shy away or move from an older home just for better energy efficiency. You can upgrade your older home to make it energy efficient.
Prior to the mid-20th century, fully automated, controlled and mechanized heating, cooling and ventilation systems did not exist. Instead, older homes had passive and manual features incorporated into their design to meet heating, cooling and ventilation needs.

‘I gave him two $5s’

A man broke into a New Castle home Thursday night, robbing the resident at gunpoint before fleeing on foot.

Nancy Clark said by the time she heard the sound of her back door getting kicked in on La Grange Road in New Castle, the unidentified man was in front of her.

“I was just sitting in my living room and heard this big bang,” Clark said. “By the time I heard he was right here in front of me.”

A home of history and heart

Diana Powell and Garry Baxter love family and country life.

The couple’s recent renovation of Powell’s grandparent’s home led them not just on a journey of family history, but a discovery of historical significance for Henry County.

Powell grew up in Woodford County and spent summers at her grandmother Pearl Duncan Powell’s house on Drennon Road. Her grandparents had bought the home in the 1920s and operated a dairy farm and grew tobacco.
