HAPPY BIRTHDAY — FINALLY: 'Leapers' glad to see Feb. 29 rolling around again
They’re all “leapers,” also called 29ers, leapeans, leaplings, leapsters or leapettes, who celebrate birthdays on Feb. 29 — a date that appears on the calendar only once about every four years. Another term for it: Eternal youth, or as close to it as anyone other than Dick Clark and Cher can get.

Be very quiet — we’re hunting mascots.
Where is the General? The Red Devil? The Bulldog? After months on the trail, not a Brave, Hornet, or Dragon could be caught in the wild. Is school spirit a thing of the past? Not if three young men have anything to say about it.

Too quiet.

Scott Goodman strolls through the lot at Clark County Auto Auction, stopping to look at a blue Toyota Camry with 266,000 miles showing on its odometer.
The car looks good for one that has been driven the equivalent of more than 10 trips around the equator.
“This car will do $1,300,” said Goodman, who was seeking cars to buy for American Car World, which is located in Louisville’s Portland neighborhood.

DODD: The mayoral tango
Spending 13 hours or more at the poll on election day can lend itself to long periods of inactivity during the voting slump times. Occasionally I would stroll outside the building (yet still in the fifty foot chute area) and talk with the local politicians, their poll workers, and other people who tend to congregate outside the polling location all during Election Day.

SPECIAL REPORT: Not ready for retirement
At 5 a.m. each morning, Germaine Worrall reported for work at St. Edward Hospital in New Albany. She would wash dishes and get the pots and pans ready to prepare breakfast for the patients.
That was 71 years ago.
Today, Worrall still reports for work with the same vigor and enthusiasm she had in the 1930s. Despite her age, 86, Worrall works around 20 hours a week at JC Penney in Clarksville.
