    Many heroes have lived before; a
    multitude are unknown,
    unwept over and forgotten
    in everlasting night,
    for want of a spirited chronicler
    to chisel their deeds in stone.
    – Horace (modified)

  • COLUMN: Football turnaround in...

    A few weeks ago, excitement over big time college football was hard to stir up in these parts.

  • COLUMN: Autumn is for...

    Menifee to Marshall counties, high tide in Kentucky is autumn. Our pristine place in time is a weave of yellows and reds and vistas painted in hues and silhouettes so golden they take our breath and send storytellers to their keys and fiddlers to their picks.
    A Thomas Kinkade-like canvas on which sport, in our case, football-morphing-to-basketball, is, for a fleeting moment or so, almost important.
