When WJZ-TV's Evening Magazine went off the air at the end of 1990, its popular co-host, Steve Aveson, went on to gain a national audience.
He moved to New York and spent four years at ABC News as a Good Morning America and 20/20 correspondent. He also was an anchor for ABC News programs, including World News This Morning, Good Morning America Sunday and Discovery News, a science program. He also had a stint with the broadcast division of The Christian Science Monitor and then returned to a metro market as an anchor at Fox 25 in Boston.

Notre Dame Catholic School closing
By Nancy Pasternack
The Appeal-Democrat
Marysville, CA
When teachers at Notre Dame Catholic School received the bad news last week, they gave their students an extra-long recess outdoors, and cried.
Then they pulled themselves together and threw the Valentine's Day party the children were expecting.
After more than 150 years of offering catechism instruction along with reading, writing and arithmetic, Notre Dame Catholic School in Marysville will graduate its last eighth-grade class this year.
***
Broughton and an advisory board made up of parents and students already have begun the process of trying to create a new public charter school within the Marysville Joint Unified School District.
Hopefully, Broughton said, "we'll be able to continue the school, but without the religious instruction."
The group will model the charter school on one in Paradise that has a similar history and population, Broughton said.
Eisermann, Kemmerly and the school's other teachers say they support the charter school idea, and that they will teach at the new school, if it comes to fruition.

Ross County Christian Academy is growing
Ross County Christian Academy is growing
Officials still hoping for permanent home
By JONA ISON

Ross County Christian Academy is gearing up for a second year of operation and hopes to expand services.
Although the academy still hopes to have a permanent home of its own one day, Brookside Church on Egypt Pike has agreed to allow the academy to operate there again for the 2008-09 school year, said Mike MacCarter, co-director of the academy.

The school serves students in kindergarten through sixth grade, but if enrollment warrants it, the academy will expand to include seventh grade in 2008-09. Also, an interest survey has been distributed to the academy's endorsing churches to determine if there enough families interested in preschool to create a preschool program at the academy.
Beginning next school year, MacCarter said the academy hopes it will be approved as a state charter school.
"They have some regulations with curriculum, which we're doing most of those already," MacCarter said.
