Fish across America; it's a wonderful time

By JOHN BRYAN Syndicated Columnist Until recently, Janet’s had no interest in traveling to see this country’s sights: the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, the Rockies, Niagra Falls, and all of the others. I’ve begged her but she has said no. Until last month. Now she says yes. So I’m planning a family trip for next summer. It’s going to be wonderful. We’ll take the entire summer and fish our way across America. We’ll drive a day and fish a day of two, drive a day and fish a day or two, all over the country. I figure we can cover 20,000 miles and fish in 50 different waters. I’ll go to some familiar spots like Florida’s Kissimee, New York’s watershed lakes, the Tennessee River reservoirs, the Arkansas River, Georgia s Seminole. And I’ll go to some I’ve only read about: Truman, Mead, Havasu, Miramar. It will be an adventure. I broke the news last night to Janet — after we completed the nightly task of threatening Kelly and Thomas with all sorts of tortures until they agreed to go to bed. “We’ll do what?" was her first response. “Fish our way across America. We’ll drive all over the country with the boat behind us and stop lots of places to fish,” I explained. WHO KNOWS? 1. What is the capital of Minnesota? 2. With what war does Homer’s Iliad deal? 3.

“All four of us in that car?” she continued. “Sure. It’ll be fun. We’ll play car games and look out the windows and see lakes and streams and rivers and ponds and stop and fish whenever we want," I assured her. “You go. I’ll stay here.” She didn’t smile.. “What about Kelly and Thomas?” ‘They’re not going either.” “They’d love it," I countered. "You know how much they love going fishing with me. ’’ “You’re going by yourself. We re staying here. Have fun.” And Janet went into the kitchen to make some tea,” “But I’ve figured that it will only cost about $7,000 total.” Janet had her back turned to me, but I spoke firmly. “And that’s for all four of us. It’ll be a real bargain. You won’t have to fish if you don’t want to.” She didn’t respond, just stirred her tea. “Just think about those acres of lily pads down in Florida, just floating there on the water without a care in the world; those deep, clear California lakes, full of giant bass and big trout; the upper Mississippi, up in lowa, where the river is loaded with fish; and of course all those Missouri lakes, filled with bass and more bass. ” Janet elbowed me aside as she walked from the kitchen to the living room. "I’m not going by myself,” I stated. “Fine, but you’re not taking any of us.” A half hour passed with both of us sitting there, looking at a blank television screen. No conversation. I was thinking of all that water out there. Janet was also thinking about all that water out there. “I’ve got it!” I broke the silence. “We can drive a day, fish a day, and then have a nonfishing day every now and then — maybe every 10th day or so. Just a day of seeing the sights without any driving or fishing. What do you think 9 ” That was last night. Janet didn't tell me what she thinks. She's considering it. I'm sure. What a great opportunity for us to be together as a family. What a great opportunity for us to rekindle our marriage. I’m surprised more people don’t fish their way across America. Perhaps it will someday become a national trend. And Janet and I can do our part to get it started. From seas to shining sea.

Exciting season in store for NFL

WASHINGTON, DC. - The NFL season gets underway in a month, the first big day being Sept. 7. The most interesting games on opening day will be the Cleveland Browns at the champion Chicago Bears; the LA. Raiders at the Denver Broncos; and the Philadelphia Eagles at the Washington Redskins. The Miami Dolphins at the San Diego Chargers,.another game to be played that weekend, will also be a major tilt. An especially good game will be the 1986 season s first Monday night contest — the New York Giants at the Dallas Cowboys. For 16 weeks, the teams will play regularly until the Dec. 22 meeting between the New England Patriots and the Miami Dolphins, which will be at Miami and televised by ABC. Then post-season play begins on Dec. 28, and ends with the 21st Super Bowl at Pasadena, Calif.,

Warriors start practice for 1986 The Wawasee High School football team just began practicing Monday. What will quickly follow is the annual Goshen Jamboree, which will be hosted by Goshen High School on Friday, Aug. 22. Wawasee will participate in the event with three other area rivals: Jimtown (Class A runnerup), Concord (Class AAA runnerup of 1984), and Goshen The Warriors will play a total of two quarters, one each against two designated opponents for the evening. The jamboree starts at 7:30 p.m. Presently, Wawasee has between 55 and 60 players in camp. The Warriors boast 32 returning players and 19 seniors. Wawasee freshmen football candidates will begin practicing Aug 18.

on Sunday, Jan. 25, 1987, which will be aired by CBS. The biggest “if” about this season is whether .the Chicago Bears can continue their dominance of 1985. Chances are against it. It s just almost impossible for one group of players to retain such an edge. Chicago’s schedule is relatively easy. The Bears meet the Rams Nov. 3 and Dallas in the last week vof the campaign. They host Philadelphia, coached by exdefensive mastermind Buddy Ryan, on Sept. 14, which will be the second week of the season. Chicago’s other foes are: Cleveland, Green Bay, Cincinnati, Minnesota, Detroit, Tampa Bay, Atlanta, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay and Detroit. Tennis champion endures tests As testimony to her endurance as a tennis champion, Chris Evert Lloyd remains viewed by many as queen of her sport. Since the age of 16, she captured the attention of many in the sports world with her dazzling performance at Wimbledon. She was later honored as Female Athlete of the Year in 1977, and to this day, continues to play great tennis in the twilight of her prime.

Georgia receives 400 bales of hay

Over 400 sales of hay were shipped to Gee 'gia Friday, Aug. 1, to help feed cattle in the droughtstricken i orthwestem area of Lafayette, 25 miles south of Chatanoog a With ar a farmers bringing a surplus of hay to the David and Alicia Brenneman farm, 60094 S. CR 7, Linda Pharr of Lafayette was onhai d to gratefully accept the supply Friday after originally making t le trip to attend the Elkhart ( ounty Fair and visit with the B ennemans. “ Farmers are really good people — tl ose in Elkhart have helped to answer our prayers,” said Pharr, who’s family farms 200 acres and only yielded 20 per cent of t ie normal hay supply

after the first cutting due to the drought. “The rainfall is 16 or more inches below normal and we re just entering our dry season,” Pharr stated. Realizing the plight of their friends the Brennemans decided to “see what difference” they could make, employing the help of many of their neighbors and farmers from the surrounding area to send the initial truckload to Lafayette. The hay will be used by the Pharrs and others in Walker County, with any surplus being shipped to surrounding areas. Devon Witmer of the Yellow Creek Feed Mill, Goshen, donated the first semi-truck, fuel, and driver, while the Danube Carpet Co., Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., will also make eight to 10 free trips. Danube is a subsidiary of Shelter Components, Elkhart More hay is expected to leave this week, with people needed to load trucks, donate hay, and send

money if possible.. Anyone wishing to help should call the Brennemans at 293-8185. Donations will be accepted by mail c/o Larry Struble. 59702 CR 11. Elkhart, 46517.
