  • For Trout by Darl Black Johnstown Some Anglers Catch Many More Trout with Spinners Than Do Other Anglers
    H ^"S " F* A m li M * 1 /4;. /. M w I StimgJti (Jalk Reflections By the time most of you read this column, I will have completed my tenure as Execu­ tive Director of this great agency. During my nearly 35 years of service to Pennsylvania's anglers and boaters, it has been my pleasure to work with 38 different Commissioners, four different Executive Directors, hundreds of co-workers and many thousands of an­ glers and boaters who shared a conservation ethic and a common goal to make Pennsylvania's fishing and boating programs the very best. Occasionally I encountered shortsighted individuals whose personal agenda was to­ tally out of step with the public's best interests. Fortunately, those "small thinkers" are in the minority, and level heads usually prevail. Level-headed thinking is essential if Pennsylvania's fishing and boating resources are to prevail. As I leave the public service arena, I am compelled to reflect on some of the more important advances made by this agency during my years of service. The results of these actions provided millions of hours of public recreation, and will provide billions of hours of fishing and boating recreation for centuries to come. Some of the more significant achievements include: • Guiding the Susquehanna River Anadromous Fish Restoration project to a state of near completion through a variety of agency efforts. Also guided installation of perma­ nent fishways on five major Pennsylvania dams. • Gaining national recognition of fishing programs as the "Best in the Nation." • Purchasing of seven of the largest springs in the Commonwealth, including the two largest (Boiling Springs and Big Spring).

  • Pathways Newsletter
    Pathways Newsletter and Program Guide Spring/Summer 2021 www.buckscounty.org 2 Commissioners’ Message Spring 2021 A MESSAGE FROM THE BUCKS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it is appreciation of even the simplest pleasures in life: the freedom to explore new places, to be out in the fresh air and to exercise in the great outdoors. When the coronavirus began spreading across our region last spring, shuttering our workplaces, our schools, our stores and our social gathering spots, many of us retreated like caterpillars into cocoons, unwilling to emerge for weeks. Do you remember the eerie quiet of those first few days and weeks of our statewide shutdown? With most venues closed, we hunkered down inside our homes, glued to computers and TVs for news of the worsening pandemic. As the case counts rose unabated, some of us lost livelihoods. Some of us lost friends and loved ones. We became stressed and irritable, anxious and argumentative. But as the weather warmed and the infections and deaths plateaued, we began to reclaim some things we had lost as they again became available to us. Among the first was the use of our wonderful system of county parks. And no wonder. In our parks, distancing was easier than in confined spaces. The warming, open air made transmission of the virus less likely, and the chance to breathe free and to exercise was the perfect elixir to the stresses and anxieties of COVID. There were days when our biggest challenge was finding enough places to park as people streamed into our parklands after we unlocked the gates last April 20, almost a month after shutting them down.
