April 25 is the opening of fishing season on the West Walker River, and we are happily awaiting the big day. That evening, beginning 5 p.m. at the Walker Community Center, the Northern Mono Chamber of Commerce will hold a fish fry dinner in celebration. This will be followed at approximately 7 p.m. by a poker night, sponsored by the Antelope Valley Survivors of the Relay for Life. Judging by the previous poker nights, it will be a fun time for all. Try to be there for both events.

Pasture golf tournament a success again
On a morning that started out chilly, the ninth annual Jackie Giorgi Pasture Golf Tournament took place. As always, it was a great day of fun golf and great food. You don't want to miss out on this unusual tournament that is held on the first Saturday of every April, with the funds raised all going to a scholarship fund for Coleville High School graduates.
This and that
Congratulations to James Gonzalez and Robert Lesley, as well as the other students from Antelope elementary and middle schools, who participated in the California State Spelling Bee April 2. You did us proud.
We hope you all had a very happy Easter.
