Book Randy Kadish\’s \’The Fly Caster Who Tried to Make PEACE with the World\’

December 18, 2007 Source Recordonline.com Article By Dirks

When winter makes its dark and cold presence known and the hunting season begins to wind down, it\’s time to consider settling down with a good book or two.

In this age of digital and audio books, there\’s still something special about having a book in your hands. A good book becomes the refuge that can renew your outdoor mind after a full season of outdoor activities.

In \”The Legendary Neversink,\” (New York: Sky Horse Publishing, 2007), editor Justin Askins incorporates some of the best prose ever written on the Neversink River. Askins has created a compilation of the who\’s who of outdoor writers. Names like Sparse Gray Hackle, Leonard Wright Jr., Theodore Gordon, and Ray Bergman populate this book with Neversink stories.

New London Embraces The Financial Future Of Public Education: Corporate Sponsorship

Source www.theday.com

By Mike DiMauro, published December 19, 2007

The idea of corporate naming rights is becoming more popular throughout the country. A story in the New York Times last highlighted three examples.

Four years ago, ShopRite gave Brooklawn, N.J., $100,000 toward the high school\’s new gym, named the ShopRite of Brooklawn Center. Rust-Oleum gave $100,000 to a Chicago suburb for \”Rust-Oleum Field.\” And for $500,000, the Everglades High School football stadium in Florida bears the name of Eastern Financial Florida Credit Union.

The Times reported that corporate sponsorship goes beyond athletic facilities, all the way to advertisements on school buses.

This is the financial future of public education.

Getting out of Dodge… 

BY DOUG SKINNER

Err, well, getting out of Jersey that is…

Yep, it\’s time for my annual southern migration to the sunshine state. There is something about visiting Florida in the winter that really helps recharge teh batteries for the beginning of the New Year.

While I\’m down there, I\’ll be fishing, spending time on the beach with my wife, and hopefully taking a few day trips to some secluded areas like Cayo Costa State Park…It\’s a park that is only accessible by boat, be it private or ferry. If you are ever in the area it\’s definitely a site to see. A couple of charter trips are run by Captiva Cruises, and Tropic Star Cruises…It is worth the trip no matter how you get there.

As you can see from the photo, the beaches aren\’t crowded, the Gulf of Mexico is bright blue, and there are few places in Southwest Florida that are more relaxing.

Also, this vacation will mark my first opportunity to fish with an experienced guide. During the last couple of years, I\’ve packed my rods, and tried my hand at chasing some of Florida\’s most popular game fish, the Redfish, Snook, and Tarpon. My fishing experience is limited to this area so Florida is a whole new world too me…I\’ve done moderately well on my own, but I hope with a guide I can take it up a notch and really land some nice fish.

Once in a while, we have to stretch our wings and go on vacation. There are great opportunities to enjoy the outdoors in every state, and you can bet that I will take advantage of all Florida has to offer….

See you all in the New Year, and have a happy and healthy holiday season!
