Expand Your Tactics This Spring



I love fishing this time of year! You can use just about any method and catch fish, and finding them isn't that hard. However, catching quality bass consistently can be a challenge. The beauty of spring is that you can find bass in the pre-spawn, spawn and post-spawn for the next several weeks locally. Most bass are shallow and pretty aggressive right now. Just pick the technique you like to fish and get after them.

OPINION: For Sunshine Laws to work, BMA should vote to record all sessions

During last week’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting, I was glad to see the vote was unanimous in favor of taking up a discussion at the May 8 meeting to vote on recording BMA executive sessions.  As one person pointed out during the public comments portion of the meeting, it is hard to hear what’s being discussed at the executive sessions because not everyone has an individual microphone, and there’s no way for the public to review what was said. Although I understand why Alderman Owens said he supported recording the sessions, but hesitated to pile more work on the city clerk in terms of producing more minutes, I do think the city should, at some point, keep minutes from the sessions. They only last 30 minutes—unlike the regular meetings, they are limited time-wise.  See the complete op/ed by editor Rebekah Yearout in the May 3 edition of the Germantown News, out today. 

Past presidents of Suburban Garden Club prepare Club for upcoming flower show

“Horse and Garden” The Flora and Fauna of Germantown, Tennessee The Suburban Garden Club held its March meeting at the Memphis Botanic Garden to accommodate the large number of designs and arrangements that were used as correct examples for the club’s flower show on Wednesday, April 26, 2017.   The show will be held at the Germantown Country Club from one to four in the afternoon.   It is free and open to the public.   Barbara Armstrong, Nancy Klepper and Lucy Wilkinson created and provided the designs for the flower show demonstrations entitled “Alignment, Cadence, and Conformation.” Suburban members appreciated the clever terminology for the class as being perfect for an equestrian-themed flower show.
