  Would it rain? Would it be sunny? It was a little bit of both! And a good crowd showed up and toughed out the showers for a very successful Wednesday Morning Scramble at Mt. Huff Golf Course on March 27.

  In first place was the team of Don McConnell, Dick Grace, and Mike Ingle.

  A tie for second place happened between the team of David Smuts, Loren Lindner and Bill McRoberts and the team of Ron Christensen, Margie Joseph and Darel Joseph.

  Closest to the pin was won by David Smuts while the chip-in was aced by Dick Grace.

Extra ammo

  Question: I wonder if you can settle a bet for me and my friends. They told me when hunting for turkeys, it is illegal to also carry shotgun slug ammunition. I disagree because what if someone wants to carry slugs in case they get the chance that a pig might run by? Please set us straight.

  The Feather River College softball team went on the road last weekend for two doubleheaders. On Friday, March 22, the Eagles faced off against Lassen, winning the first game 7-6 and the second game 9-8. The following day Feather River lost both games to Shasta College 6-5 after being up the majority of the game. The outcomes put FRC at 7-3 in conference.

  “The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn’t someone else’s gift to you?”

  The weather man, the calendar, and even the fish are all in agreement: Spring is here. The weather is getting warmer and the fishing is starting to pick up.

  But before we get to the fishing there is a more important issue to report.

  Fishing, and especially the gentle art of fly-fishing, is not often associated with crime. But these are hard times and nothing seems immune from the greedy and destructive reach of the hardened criminal.
