This month look for this wonderfully, flavorful vegetable at your local farmer’s market. Asparagus packs in a ton of good vitamins and minerals in those stalks! Steam it, pickle it, sauté it, roast it — the possibilities are endless!

When buying asparagus, choose stalks that are bright green with purple shaded tight tips; these are the most tender and tasty. It is best to cook it soon after buying, because asparagus can become tough and woody after several days.

Editor’s note: The following is the first of a series of monthly columns about historical incidents from Trimble County’s past. The column title is taken from the ripples that still roll across the remains of the old Milton dike long submerged in the Ohio River. Many of the long-forgotten events of our past still cast shadows over our way of life today and create ripples that continue to lap at the shores of the river of life upon which we are all mariners.

Records set at Shelby

Trimble County’s track team had a “very impressive night” in the March 29 Shelby County All-Comers Meet in Shelbyville, according to Coach Jeff Vincent. New school records were set by Olivia Cooley in the Long Jump and Kelsie Courtney in the High Jump.

Team members registered 19 personal best performances, claimed four first place finishes and scored 35 top eight finishes.
Individual results for the Raiders are as follows.

Trimble County Coach Walter McHargue lamented that his team couldn’t hold border rival Carroll County after the Lady Raiders let a three-run advantage evaporate and fell 8-7 in Carrollton Friday.

Carroll lost to Trimble three times last year, twice during the regular season and during the All-A tournament, by a combined run total of 24-5. 

Trimble opened the game with a 1-0 lead in the first inning, but Carroll roared out of the gate in the bottom of the third to take a 4-1 lead.
