Salato Center reopens for its 20th anniversary on March 3, 2015

By Laurie Davison

FRANKFORT, Ky. - The Salato Wildlife Education Center in Frankfort shakes off hibernation and reopens for its 20th year March 3.

The center has added two new additions to its collection: a groundhog and a kestrel. These animals will be on display occasionally, and during program events.

The kestrel, which is also known as a sparrow hawk, is actually the smallest falcon found in North America. While the kestrel is the smallest falcon, the groundhog is one of Kentucky's largest rodents. The staff at Salato has worked with both during the past year in preparation for programs at the center.

Visitors can get an up close and personal look at Salato's newest additions, as well as a look at some other animals during its Meet a Critter event being held from 11 a.m. until noon (Eastern time) March 7.

About: Comments re photo 59039 Robbie Harmon presents school calendar change options

By Jon Halsey
Personal commentary

Regarding the 170-172 school days, maybe the time has come to once again reconsider the merits of a different approach to the academic year.

For quite some time numerous studies have documented that year after year, primary and secondary education in the United States lags the rest of the developed countries.

The top performers were South Korea, Finland, Hong Kong and Shanghai in China, Singapore, Canada, New Zealand, Japan and Australia.
