• TRIED ‘N’ TRUE: Healthy Granola Bars good for everyone

  I always liked Granola bars. Also Granola, to eat by handful. Pat Coolley always keeps granola on hand to nibble on. I don’t like raisins so I use dried cherries or cranberries instead. Instead of brown sugar use Splenda or your choice. I also use sugar-free syrup. So my husband, Gene, can eat these bars, too. This recipe comes from Rose Hill Community Church.

• PHOTO ESSAY: Signs of spring ... FINALLY! Signs of spring are popping up all over the Wabash Valley ... FINALLY! ... as evidenced in late March by a calendula pushing from the bedding soil in a White Violet Center for Eco-Justice greenhouse, carrying its seed hull on top. Also signaling spring are the tiny blue and white blooms of Speedwell dotting the lawn at the center in St. Mary-of-the-Woods. Leeks also were sprouting from beds in the greenhouse in late March, their seed husks still sitting atop many of the stalks. Nearby, lettuce was growing thick in its bed. Another sign of the season's change is the end of the crocuses. By late March, the early harbingers of spring give way to daffodils and other later blooming flowers. Ahh, yes, spring is definitely in the air — just a few days ago, a little bluebird told me so. (Tribune-Star/Jim Avelis)

• Witness to history: April movie chronicles Jackie Robinson’s trials as be breaks Major League Baseball’s color barrier — something Vigo County native Harry Taylor witnessed first hand

  The upcoming movie “42” aims to show America what Jackie Robinson endured.
  Harry Taylor witnessed it firsthand.
  Robinson wore jersey No. 42 for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. Taylor wore 41. Both were 28-year-old rookies, considerably older than most. Taylor got delayed by military service in World War II. Professional baseball’s unwritten but ironclad code of racial discrimination had kept Robinson and other African-Americans out of the majors since the 1880s.
