The 450 ft. rule is for an "occupied building"....not a place where people stand. And may I also add, please hunters, don't do anything stupid. Pay attention. Don't give hunters and gun owners a bad name just so you can harvest a duck.   more ›

You can't even say boo to them because it's "Hunter Harassment" and you can actually go to jail for it, but if there shot hits your house or your child that's perfectly fine because it's not going to hurt anyone. …   more ›

Brooks Elementary Students Win Math Pentathlon

Teachers, parents work hard to provide a great math experience for local students.

The following was submitted to White Lake Patch by Brooks Elementary Principal Steven Chisik. Kristin Powers, Sally Young and parent coordinator Mrs. Lynch have worked hard to create another outstanding Math Pentathlon experience for our students.  This year, we had a record number of Bobcats participating in the Math Pentathlon. The after school activity is designed around students playing math games. The games were purchased by the PTO a few years ago, and have been a source of fun and challenge for students at each grade level. The math games are great because they require students to practice many of the skills they learn in class each day. Students are encouraged to use their own developing skill set to solve problems, both …
