  • Raiders get pointers at gridiron camp

    TB Correspondent

    The 2009 Trimble County Raiders football team got to strap up their pads and pull on their uniforms for some sparring during training camp at the high school last week.

    It was the first time the uniforms had seen light since last year’s team lost a playoff game against the No. 1 ranked Beechwood High School on Nov. 14. Beechwood eventually won the state championship.

  • Voter to Trimble sheriff: ‘Where’s the beef?’

    Editor:

    I would like to publicly ask our sheriff:  Where’s the Beef?  

    He promised us night patrols as part of his re-election campaign last time, but we still aren’t having any meat with our voting salad. We did get a U.S. Marshal, though – that really put the fear in our local delinquents and criminals!

  • Camp puts band students through tough paces

    TB Correspondent

    Trimble County school band members have one advantage over other students: For four days straight last week, they had a chance to get back into the early morning routine during band camp at Trimble County High School.

    Camp started daily at 8 a.m., and band members found themselves working hard until 8 p.m. If they were lucky, they could call it the day at 5:30 p.m. last week.

    Thursday was the only overnight for the squad, which slept over at the school. But, after a big breakfast, it was back to work at 8:15 a.m.

  • Impact of bridge replacement plan must be considered

    I was disappointed to learn that the Kentucky and Indiana transportation officials would be moving forward with a plan to replace the Milton-Madison, Ind. bridge on its existing piers.

    The two states are pursuing a plan to seek grant funding for the project from federal stimulus money, meaning work could be under way next summer, if the grant is approved. Yes, this would be a much faster approach than building a new bridge — with the project set for completion by 2012.
