Don't let weather put fishing on ice

It's a simple fact that most game fish bite all 12 months of every year. I've caught largemouth bass in every month, bluegills, crappie, yellow perch, walleye, trout and more, and the only problem traditionally is deciding where they'll be and what they'll strike in a given month. Which isn't as hard as you might think. Lake Erie walleye, for example, were biting well under the ice this winter, and they'll continue to bite well once the ice goes off, which has either already happened or will shortly. Not many area anglers will seek them in frigid cold water often with equally frigid air temperatures, but if you're serious about the business, like to catch really big walleyes as well as small ones, the early bite is one to exploit.

SCHOOL MATTERS - You should plan ahead for kindergarten screening

It is that time of year again. If your child will be turning 5 on or before Sept. 30 it is time to start thinking about kindergarten screening. Kindergarten screening is not a judgment of your parenting skills; it is simply the first time that the school system will have to assess your child. Early screening allows the school to help you prepare your child for kindergarten before classes begin. School officials will be able to note skills your child should work on over the summer. It also helps to identify special needs, problems, or abilities early on so that the school can prepare for the coming year.

JUST LIKE OLD TIMES - Local preacher responsible for new school

Some senior citizens reading this will remember the Rev. Charles Gardner who was pastor of St. Mary Catholic Church in Norwalk from 1917 to 1935. One of his greatest accomplishments in that time was the building of a new one-story wooden school building facing West League, where the rectory is now located, in 1919. He also struggled to keep the parish treasury in the black, especially in the darkest years of the Great Depression. The reason he built a new school is that there had been a brick school on West League with two classrooms on the first floor and a parish hall on the second. In the fall of 1913 it was determined that this school with wooden stairs, floors and interior walls was a fire hazard. The school was closed and razed. This caused all St. Mary children to either go to St. Paul elementary school or to the public schools. League Street School was being built at the time with four rooms, and the influx of new students caused the board of education to add two more rooms at the back and have just one grade in each room.
