  • How about those Reds

    If the season ended today (I am writing this on Monday), the Cincinnati Reds would be in first place in the National League Central Division. 

    This is as difficult to believe as it would be if the Cubs were in first. What is wrong with Dusty Baker? He has made several errors in judgment, batting the wrong guy, taking the pitcher out too soon or not soon enough etc; but wow not even Dusty has been able to derail this bunch of Red Legs.

  • TUESDAY IS PRIMARY ELECTION

    Tuesday is the primary election.

    To say it’s an important primary election would be an understatement. Many Harrison County political offices will be on Tuesday’s ballot, including sheriff, jailer and some magistrate and constable positions.

    It might be May, but for some of those running, it feels like November.

    Over 12,000 voters are registered in Harrison County. In the 2008 primary, only 33.9 percent of those registered voters came to the polls and cast ballots.
