  • Excitement's on tap at RFM

    There's excitement on the campus at Robert F. Munroe Day School this spring – baseball excitement! The Bobcats have built themselves a 15-4 record at the week's beginning and a 20-win season is in no way out of the question.

    Head coach Mike Troblstrup, in his first year at the helm, has the team playing successful baseball.

    Troblstrup has coached the Lincoln JV team the past seven seasons.

    When the Munroe job came open he took a look at it and liked what he saw. The school liked what they saw in him and it's been a good match.

  • Off the Hook

    When I began to write my column this past January, never did I believe there would be a week when no reports of good catches of any type fish from Lake Talquin.

    Well, last week proved me wrong! Storms, winds and rain, rain and more rain stopped any hope of fishing. After all had passed we saw a very full and muddy lake. For the past four days normal conditions have returned and folks are back on the water.

    Reports of nice catches of bream and shellcrackers are being brought in at both Ingrams and Whippoorwill marinas.
