Feb. 22: Launch Day, Fish Tales and Fluctuating Temperatures

A handful of details for Tuesday.

1. Today is launch day for Vernon Patch. Patch is a new online news service that will revolutionize local news - but also bring it back to its roots, sidewalk reporting. You can send information on calendar items, announcements and news tips to Local Editor Chris Dehnel at chris.dehnel@patch.com.

2. Tonight should bring more single-digit temperatures but sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-30s in Wednesday.

3. In quite a fish tale, a Vernon man has been recognized by the state Department of Environmental Protection for catching a trout weighing more than 10 pounds at Valley Falls.

4. There are a lot of deals to be had out there and the Frugal Family column will guide you to the best local bargains of the week.

5. It was a busy weekend for Vernon police. See how one man has accumulated more than $50,000 in bonds.
