Four metro schools are closed because of a teacher professional development day (what ever happened to the word "workshop?").
The schools are Bishop Feild Elementary, Holy Cross Elementary, Mary Queen of Peace and St. John Bosco.
And to parents and guardians of students at St. Augustine's on Bell Island — school pictures are being taken today.
I always hated school pictures myself due a cow's lick that would never stay down.

Two traffic safety stops yesterday resulted in two more drivers being nabbed for owing substantial amounts of money in fines.
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary says a stop on Holbrook Avenue caught a man who had over $10,000 in outstanding fines.
He was held for court this morning and charged with driving without a licence and operating a motor vehicle without insurance.
And a stop on the CBS highway picked up a man who owed more than $9,000 in fines.
He, too, was held for court and charged with several traffic offences, including driving a motor vehicle without a licence and driving a vehicle without insurance.
