• REDNECK QUAKER: Father, son enjoy island adventure together

  Here I sit looking at a picture of two adventurous souls standing next to a boat they’re about ready to take on an adventure of a lifetime.
  I’m at awe reading a 41-page diary Rich Cope kept while he and his son adventured out to Anclote Key Island on the west side of Florida. Four-mile-long Anclote Key is the northernmost in a chain of barrier islands that stretch to Cape Romano at the southern end of Collier County.

• TODD GOLDEN: Big plays in last 10 minutes story of the season for Indiana State

• Young hunter enjoys getting first deer in winter

  As I stepped around the corner of the skinning shed, a young man was smiling from ear to ear, looking at a very nice doe lying in the snow he had harvested.
  Nine-year-old Nicholas Winchell was hunting with his dad on Dec. 31 in 32-degree temps with snow falling. They knew deer would be moving and in groups.

• TILL IT'S OVER: Davis heading to West Point to play linebacker

  While it was announced after the 2012 season concluded that Terre Haute North and Terre Haute South would no longer be a part of the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference after 2013, last fall was one for the city to remember in a positive fashion.
  Terre Haute North senior linebacker Lee Davis, who became the fourth Division I recruit out of this year’s city senior class, was a big part of making that happen. The Patriots had a 6-4 regular-season, finishing in the top half of the MIC standings with a 4-3 mark.

• TODD GOLDEN: No beauty but ISU was beast in Hawaii

  This just in … Hawaii is beautiful.
  The crystal blue waters of the Pacific Ocean entice you. They are contrasted by the volcanic browns of Diamond Head and the lush greens of the mountains of Oahu that can be seen in the distance from Honolulu.

• Book review: Thumbs up for ‘Trophies and Tears’

  Now might be too late for giving Christmas presents, but the book “Trophies and Tears: The Story of Evansville and the Aces” is a fascinating read for longtime Indiana basketball fans, particularly those older than 40.
  Written by award-winning Kyle Keiderling of Henderson, Nev., and released in hardcover format in mid-December, the 480-page “Trophies and Tears” documents the rich tradition of the University of Evansville men’s basketball program through recent interviews and research of old yearbooks and newspaper/scrapbook clippings.
  The book contains many cheery moments — behind-the-scenes details of all five NCAA College Division (now known as Division II) championships won in the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s by the Purple Aces and their legendary coach Arad McCutchan — although some of those moments don’t seem so cheery from an Indiana State perspective when the Sycamores found themselves on the losing end of scores.

• Sycamores blossom on Hawaii trip

  Quick quiz … what’s the state flower of Hawaii?
  Don’t worry. I can’t just rattle state flowers off the top of my head. I had to look it up too, even though I’ve seen them all over the place in Honolulu.
  I didn’t even know that Indiana’s state flower is the peony, which replaced the apparently unloved zinnia in the 1950s.
  Hawaii’s flower, and they’re ubiquitous in Waikiki tourist shops and in actual flora on Oahu, is the yellow hibiscus.
  The yellow hibiscus is big, bold and bright. I’ve never seen one blossom, but I imagine it has to be a beautiful sight.
  What I have seen blossom — and it’s the only reason flowers would be brought up in my column — is the Indiana State basketball team at the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic.

• Old friend missing as Pizza Hut Wabash Valley Classic begins

  It occurred to me late last month, as I opened my morning newspaper to read up on the draw for this year’s Pizza Hut Wabash Valley Classic, that when I walk through Terre Haute South’s doors on Wednesday it will be the first time that I won’t find my old buddy Dean Kendall sitting at one end of the gym, a smile on his face a good while before the first whistle is blown or the first shot is taken.
