Hi, I'm looking to buy a 5.1 sound system for my dedicated home theatre room. The room is 6 x 3 meters. I'm mostly going to be using this room for movies and gaming. I'm looking to pay around $1000 and needed some advice. Should I buy a package with a Blu-Ray player or buy the speakers and the Blu-Ray and an AV reciever all separately? Which would give me the best sound quality while also being cost effective? Also, what are your recommendations for this setup? What kind of devices should I look into? I'm not keen on getting the perfect sound but I do hope to get the best for the money. Thanks. |
Probably best option would be Pioneer SP-PK52FS 5.1 Speaker and
a receiver all in your budget they are $549.99 from Pioneer direct. Very good reviews Andrew Jones design ! another ~$300.00 for receiver and you are done with some change for cables or maybe this one Pioneer SP PK 5222BS $450.00 Some HT speaker options below if you want to go BIG in there. Polks are more money though . You can get some decent refurbed AVR's at accessories for less in the $300.00- $450.00 range also. Probably 0ption 2 without second addt'l sub in option 3 would be best in that size room for big option You could also get with an HTIB or smaller speakers like the Energy take 5 and a ~$300.00 receiver. Check out these treads lots of reciever and speaker options we just covered that extensively for smaller rooms http://www.avsforum.com/t/1492014/buy-5-1-all-in-one-or-assemble-a-5-1 http://www.avsforum.com/t/1491734/new-home-theatre-with-very-limited-choices Option 1 Towers and surrounds 5.1 big Polk Audio TSi400 Floor-standing speaker (Cherry) (pair ) 459.98 Polk-Audio-TSi200 ( Cherry pair ) 249.99 ( Bookshelf/surround) Polk Audio PSW125 249.99 12" Powered subwoofer (Cherry) Polk Audio TSi CS20 Center channel speaker (Cherry) 149.99 sub total $ 1109.95 US Option 2 = 4 bookshelf center and Sub 5.1 Polk-Audio-TSi200 ( Cherry 2 pair ) 500.00 ( Bookshelf/surround) Polk Audio TSi CS20 Center channel speaker (Cherry) 149.99 Polk Audio PSW125 249.99 12" Powered subwoofer (Cherry) sub total $ 899.98 US for bass heads Option 3 Add in 2nd Subwoofer to option 2 For distributed bass Polk Audio PSW125 249.99 12" Powered subwoofer (Cherry) All above Items above in option 2 899.98 sub total $ 1149.97 US Figure about (No more than ****for large rooms you can always go big with option 1 and second sub . adding distributed bass figure ~ $100.00 or less for DIY for inexpensive cables or DIY cables monoprice or home depot You can probably make up similar systems using Infinity Primus speakers . I have no interests or affiliations to any of the of the re sellers or retailers or their affiliates or to any links or videos mentioned in this or any thread here at AVS they are provided for information purposes only Don't forget a thumbs up if this has been helpful for you! |
Hi, Thanks so much for your help so far. I was thinking of getting a Denon AVR-X1000 as my receiver. Do you think this is a good one to go for? Is there something that can do the job better for a better price? Again thanks for all your help. |
One should usually select speakers first then you will better know what is required of your receiver !
I'm in Australia. I've been looking for the Pioneer speakers the other poster mentioned but I don't think they sell them here. Still looking. |
Hi guys, Just an update. I was at a Hi-Fi store today and was recommended the following packages: the Yamaha YHT-799AU and the YHT-699AU. Both include the same set of speakers, Yamaha's HT series apparently. They only vary with the different receivers. I'm not really curious about the receivers but do you know if the speakers are any good? I know that you've recommended me the Pioneer set tubetwister but unfortunately I can't seem to find any seller who delivers to my region. Here are the links to the Yamahas' specs: |

There is no denying that 10-year-old Legend Preston is big for his age. The shy fifth-grader, who loves math, was shaken to the core when Newark officers with their guns drawn allegedly chased him down an alley because they thought he was a suspect in an armed robbery."Some police started coming this way with guns pointed at me, and then I ran into the backyard," Legend said.
Just before that, Legend was shooting hoops at a basketball court when the ball rolled into the street. Legend ran after it and thought the officers were chasing after him for running into the street without looking.
"I ran because they thought that I rolled the ball into the street on purpose, and they were just holding shot guns at me trying to shoot me," Legend described.
Newark police said they did have their guns out but never pointed them at Legend while they were in the alley. Witnesses intervened, telling the officers the person they detained was a child.
"He's only 10 years old. How you all chasing him? He's only a kid. I'm like, 'that's messed up'," said area resident Jackie Kelly.
Legend's mom was in the house when the incident happened and knows the matter could have ended tragically. She posted a video of a "petrified" Legend on her Facebook page.
"They tried to shoot me," Legend tells his mother through tears in the video.
"These policemen who had guns drawn on my child are still on these streets," said Patisha Preston.
Police said they caught 20-year-old Casey Joseph Robinson in the chase. Robinson was charged with armed robbery. There may be some similarities between the two, but there is no doubting Legend is a kid.

from Extended Play
We made lots of amazing things Shafiullah, 14
Today inspired me to have more confidence in my art work Jack, 14
I learnt how to take pictures and animate them into a movie Aaron, 14
Silas began by showing an animation by Jeff Keen. Keen's films are an explosion of found imagery, paint, photographs and words. Toys scurry across the screen, comic book characters find themselves in very surprising situations. Silas explained that the workshop would explore some ways of using chance and found imagery as a starting point and that the group would end the workshop by making a collaborative animation.
The first session was spent building up series of drawings, and collages that would all be used in the animation. First of all, everyone drew a portrait of the person next to them over a found image from a magazine. Next they were given part of a face from a magazine and they redrew the missing features. Then, over the same drawing, they added a drawing of the insides of the person next to them.
Then they explored the way that two images together can begin to suggest a story. Everyone cut out an library of images from magazines, newspapers and comics. They chose one, then passed it to their neighbour who added another. Looking at each collage in turn, it was possible to see connections and narratives between these chance pairings. Then one image was removed and another added and saw how that changed of developed the previous narrative. Finally, a headline was added.
Then everyone worked with pages from comics, cutting out all the action words they could find. Everyone filmed each other acting out the words. Then, they drew the words they'd found and tried to make the sounds of the drawing. Finally, they made collages with more images, this time drawing over them, cutting things out, adding and removing to alter the narrative.
Silas took away the sound and video footage that had been recorded. He printed out, frame by frame, the boys acting out the comic action words. When the group came to the RCA for their second session they were each given a bundle of frames of themselves to work on. They could draw over and around the image, add found images and word, and develop fleeting narratives in the 24 frames they had been given. Those who hadn't been filmed worked on frames from found footage.
Once their frames were complete, they worked in groups to produce a series of collaborative drawings of faces. Each person was responsible for a particular feature. Working together in this way, characters emerged that might never have appeared otherwise. Throughout the session, each boy had the chance to record the frames for their part of the animation so that Silas could edit everything together to make one spectacular film.

Ah, John Waters, probably the best thing Baltimore ever produced.
More recently, news anchors and bloggers have giggled knowingly over that sexual reference, but nobody has acknowledged how the word first entered popular American slang.
I'll tell you how. John Waters.
Here is the email exchange:
* Yes, this is an actual transcription of an email exchange between Boing Boing and John Waters.XENI: Dear Mister John Waters: We at Boing Boing are devoted fans of your work, and we consider you one of the greatest heroes of the "happy mutant" culture we celebrate. Where does the term "teabagging" come from? Is it true that the term was first popularized, or originated, in one of your films? Also, what is the deal with right wing nutbags (if you'll pardon that term, too) appropriating a perfectly good term for a sex act in such an offensive manner? Your humble devotée, -- Xeni.
JOHN WATERS: "Teabagging" is by my definition the act of dragging your testicles across your partner's forehead. In the UK it is dipping your testicles in your partner's mouth. I didn't invent the term or the act but DID introduce it to film in my movie "Pecker." "Teabagging" was a popular dance step that male go-go boys did to their customers for tips at The Atlantis, a now defunct bar in Baltimore. Hope this helps. -- John Waters
Below, the clip from his movie "Pecker" that started it all. (YouTube Link).
Mr. Waters' work in sculpture and photography is currently the subject of an exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery in Los Angeles: REAR PROJECTION. Snip from show description.
"Rear projection" is a movie term for the process whereby a foreground action is combined with a background scene filmed earlier to give the impression the actors are on location when they are, in fact, working inside a studio. In Waters' latest work, this artificial and outdated visual effect is embraced, attacked and taken to extremes.Glorifying the struggle, humiliation, and wild excitement of a life in show business, Waters uses an insider's bag of film tricks and trade lingo to celebrate the excess of the movie industry. Rewriting and redirecting existing film imagery snapped off the TV screen, he assaults, elevates, subtitles, and startlingly alters these one time classic, respected, even honored movies to attain a new kind of equality: a cult film that only needs one viewer - John Waters himself.
And finally: below, a rare John Waters short praising the merits of smoking in movie theaters.
(Special thanks to Mr. Johnny Knoxville and the incredible Richard Metzger, who you really ought to be following on Twitter instead of Ashton Kutcher or CNNBRK.)

Died 22 July 2014
Jesuit Father Patrick J. Malone died on July 22, 2014, in hospice care in Omaha, Nebraska. He was 55 years old, a Jesuit for 21 years and a priest for 13 years.
Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Feb. 13, 1959, Fr. Malone attended grade school and high school in St. Paul. He graduated from the University of St. Thomas in 1981 and then spent some years with the Peace Corps in Mali before earning an MBA from the University of Wisconsin in 1986. Fr. Malone entered the Society at the St. Paul Jesuit Novitiate on Aug. 22, 1992. At Spokane and Berkeley he had the usual Jesuit course of studies; was ordained on June 8, 2001; made tertianship in Weston, Massachusetts; and pronounced his final vows on Sept. 28, 2011.
Fr. Malone taught at Marquette High School during regency, but his assignments after ordination were all in pastoral ministry. Following the September 11 terrorist attacks, Fr. Malone spent six weeks ministering to the needs of recovery workers at ground zero. For three years he was an associate pastor at the Church of St. Luke in St. Paul, and he worked in campus ministry at Macalester College in St. Paul. Fr. Malone spent several years as the spiritual coordinator of the Creighton University ILAC program in the Dominican Republic. In 2009 Fr. Malone moved to Omaha and began work at St. John's Parish; in 2011 he became the pastor of St. John's.
Fr. Malone was a very gifted and successful pastor who, for much of his adult life, periodically struggled with serious health issues. Even after several bone-marrow transfusions to deal with his leukemia, he was hospitalized a number of times with life-threatening infections and immune-system issues. Fr. Malone never let his illness define him but focused on ministering to the people he was called to serve.

A young African-American woman attorney Claudia Morcom served as the National Lawyers Guild Southern Regional Director for legal assistance in Jackson, Mississippi coordinating the legal defense during Freedom Summer 1964, fifty years ago. She arrived in Jackson the day after Michael Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman disappeared and later found slain. That fearlessness to do what it needed for justice was the hallmark of her entire life.
From 2006 when she became aware of the case of the Cuban 5 and traveled to the Appeals Hearing in the 11th Circuit Court in Atlanta until her death, she traveled, spoke and involved people from her diverse networks to call for their freedom in every way she could.
Judge Claudia worked with us in a number of projects in the campaign for the freedom of the Cuban 5 and was a valuable asset to this case that is a travesty to all sense of fairness. Last year Judge Claudia came to help us in Washington, D.C. for 5 days for the Cuban 5 and added considerable prestige and strength to our lobbying efforts on Capital Hill.
We will always remember that not even a year ago in November 2013 she was with us in Holguin, Cuba at the Ninth Colloquium for the Cuban 5 and chose to be on the lead banner of the march through that city calling for their release.
We will miss Judge Claudia Morcom, but the best way to honor her will be to carry on in all the work that was important to her.
Judge Claudia Morcom, Presente!

The Wildflower Run was first presented in 1984, just two years after the Morgan Hill branch of AAUW was chartered, for the express purpose of raising funds to support education for women. The first race was for women and girls only, with a turnout of more than 200 runners. Over the years, as the run has become more successful, we have expanded the number and types of scholarships offered,

Celebrating Passover Seder
In 2017, Passover begins on the evening of Monday, April 10 and ends in the evening of Tuesday, April 18.
Passover is the most commonly celebrated holiday among Jews, and lasts for eight days. This retelling of the "exodus story" (the Hebrews escaping from slavery in Egypt) is often interpreted as a promise of liberation for all who are oppressed. This story is told in Exodus, chapters 1-15; many of the Passover observances are instituted in chapters 12-15. On the first two nights of Passover, the Seder meal is eaten. Some Unitarian Universalist congregations will have a Passover Seder on one of those days, or a date close to then. Many of the customs and traditions of the Seder are observed. The Seder meal sometimes takes place in a church member's home, as opposed to the church building itself.

David Michelinie
Daily Forecast for March 28th 2017
David Michelinie is a male celebrity.
He was born on Thursday May 6th 1948, in Unknown.
March 28th 2017 sets a strong spiritual tone for David Michelinie. He is in a need for knowledge and answers that come to him through soul-searching mostly. Michelinie appreciates his aloneness, and enjoys inner contentment.
However, with such disposition, David might also find himself to be clumsy and impractical today. So he must use caution when dealing with mechanical stuff.
While studying the color and flavor of the day, it is a good practice to keep in mind the greater meaning of March and the master plan of 2017 in David's life.
You and David
About David's Numerological Forecast & Personal Day Cycle
Just as David Michelinie evolves through a nine-year cycle and experiences the nine-month cycle, he is also subjected to nine-day cycles, even though their impact is subtle compared to the Personal Year and even Personal Month cycles. The Personal Day cycles proceed according to the same pattern - 1 through 9 - that the Personal Year and Personal Month cycles do. The numbers within the daily cycles have a similar impact on David to the yearly and monthly cycles - though less pronounced.

We've had multiple business dinners with a large group or family gatherings at Elements. The service is attentive and the food is excellent. It's a bit overpriced for Logan, to be fair, which is the only reason I give it 4 out of 5 stars. It's not as 'fancy' as they're trying to portray. Try and grab a seat on... More
Was staying at Spring Hill Suites and stopped in with business colleagues. Be aware of Utah's laws about alcohol. Was surprised we couldn't enjoy a cocktail hour without food. Had a pizza with shrimp that was delicious. I will be back in Logan once a year and I would return.
Food was delicious, service (room service) was terrible. They are the room service offered by Springhill Suites Logan but it was an awful experience. The children were really hungry and didn't receive their food until close to 10 pm. When we made inquiries, we were hung up on, then told there was no record of the order, hung up on... More
Well it was more like a TV dinner out of the box. Large amount of people which was handled ok., Poor attention to a table of 12., The food was average at best and I would not likely go again. Sorry but sometimes the truth helps to act as the beginning of change.
The atmosphere and service were OK, nothing to write home about. The people were courteous and the food good.
Logan doesn't have a lot of upper end dining choices, but they do have a few. This is a great place to go for holiday buffet dinners (like Valentines Day or New Year's Eve). The rest of the time, it is a regular restaurant. Elements has a great menu and choices that will please everyone. They offer everything from personal... More
Elements is intended to be in the "upper end" of restaurants in Logan. The location is attractive both inside (spacious, well decorated) and outside (nice patio, by the river). The food is "OK" at best and, at worst, will actually make you sick (the mahi-mahi did me in). The service is absolutely atrocious. It is horrendously slow and wait staff... More
I attended a business workshop and we are at elements. They have the usual "nice" restaurant feel and service and their food is really good. Great for a business dinner or romantic evening. Dr. M
The food was awsome. We ordered appetizers, calamari and onion rings. The calamari was so tender with a light breading on it. The onion rings were huge. I started out with a chopped salad which was big. I had a salmon dish which was very moist, mild flavored with sauteed veggies. Then for desert was a creme brulee. Just the... More

Canoe Shop News
The shop got its hydro service and heat units early in Second Half, and new shop tools continued to arrive well into October. Seat caning, plank and gunwale repairs and recanvassing were among the main jobs facing shop boss Warren McDermott. In September, weary trip boats began to spend more time in the shop, for varnish, paint and canvas. In early October, Jack Hurley and Warren built the first new canoe of 2012's order from Hurley Works, and Jack is already at work on the second. Jack will also complete two major repairs over the winter.
Pathfinder NYC Reception, Nov. 4, 7:00 pm

Gill Stanley and Austin Ferguson, along with AA trip Headmen, got great footage, including the AA trip's epic tale of their Attawapiskat River trip. We also previewed viedo clips from Gill's new project, on-camera alumni interviews that will debut later this year and be used for the Centennial project. Our New York crowd was hosted by club member Andreas Nauleau, who himself enjoyed an Alumni Guest Staff session this summer, and was co-sponsored by alum Todd Marks, whose company, MindGrub, has enjoyed new success with mobile app's development in NYC.

Noonway to a Pathfinder Brave
On March 14 in Buffalo, Pathfinder alum and Nichols School legend William 'Kim' Kimberly passed away after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Kim attended Pathfinder in the 1940s, and remained interested and supportive ever after. As a Nichols teacher, development office staffer, and celebrated school photographer, Kim was a vital link in the chain of friendship between Pathfinder and Nichols. Here are a couple of good links to information about Kim.

Alumni Chatter - January 2011
Happy New Year! The ice is in solid on Source Lake after the obligatory January thaw, and December's heavy snow has been replaced by a lighter layer of January snow. Still, wolf tracks thread the lake's blanket. Cold nights mean the winter trail from Hwy. 60 through the beaver marshes will have firmed up, and this is a much easier go than the camp road.

Gyro Coakley Joins the Alumni Effort
Gyro has accepted our invitation to head up Alumni efforts, to keep our members connected to Pathfinder and each other, as Camp approaches our Centennial Year, 2013.
Gyro started at Pathfinder in 1961 and remains on the Summer Staff to this day. He has a unique perspective on Pathfinder's enduring traditions and recent developments. Read on below for his first in a series of dispatches!
Gyro's November Newsletter
"When I started at Pathfinder in 1960, the season ended on August 20. Campers boarded the train, later the bus, and went home. A group of Staff would stay for a few days closing up the island for winter. Winter, of course, was more than three months away..."

Will Hopkins & Diane Davis - Married on CPI
Diane Davis, whose family are long time Source Lake Cottagers, and Will Hopkins, with 19 summers as Camper and Staff, selected Pathfinder Island as the venue for their wedding ceremony and reception. The Campers left early Friday morning in dense fog. By the time guests arrived in mid afternoon, Pathfinder was under sunny skies, with barely a ripple on the lake, and the Pathfinder Staff had transformed the Island to a spectacular wedding venue. Saturday brought on and off light showers, but the rain held off for the wedding ceremony at the Jean Norton Memorial Chapel. The dinner for 170 guests was held in the Dining Hall, and I have never seen the room look better, linen, china, crystal, balsam boughs and all. Dancing and further celebration was at the Rec Hall.
11th Annual GLM Weekend
This year's was the 11th Annual GLM brought a record 56 Alumni and Friends to Pathfinder. Trip and Jake Pierson, longtime Campers and Staff from the Rochester NY area, organize this weekend, a benefit event for the Algonquin Campership Fund. This years edition attracted 56 guests, all of whom contributed a minimum of $50 to the fund. Food and Accommodations are provided by Pathfinder. Fifteen teams of two set off on Saturday morning for the race Around the Horn. The first place finishers, with a time of 1:56.41 were young alumni Zach Arem and Max Brown. In second place, was a team of current staff, Henry Shepley and Charlie Katrycz, with a time of 2:03.50. The third place finishers were Grif Edwards and Riley Chapple. Held on Thanksgiving Weekend (Canadian,) the closing banquet was a traditional turkey dinner, prepared by camp chefs Paulina and Fernanda. Lively celebration, Pathfinder stories, and friendly banter went on well into the evening. All told, GLM weekend raises enough money to send a boy to Pathfinder each summer.

New short film captures AA Tripping
Staff Alum Kent Kruse
Kent is currently working in Cambodia, and writes:
"Here's a photo which pretty much says it all...me and my blocks. My work here- I'm construction innovation officer, tasked with designing and managing a soil block project. The blocks were used in the 26th annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project.
This year's project, The Mekong Build, took place in five countries: Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, China, and Cambodia. Here in Cambodia, we built 21 houses in five days with about 300 volunteers. You can find loads more info at: habitat.org."
Canoe Projects 2009
A brand new rebuilt Canoe #1, the Chief Norton, hit the water this summer. She was donated by Henry 'Pete' French in time for the 95th Reunion last August. This photo was taken right before loading packs, on a trip morning in the Park.
Aydin Perese's thoughts on wood-canvas.
"In fact, our masterpieces are in a museum. A living museum..."
Andy Cameron ('70s) read Aydin's piece and felt nostalgic.
"Shocked and appalled! No cans? No canvas tents or packs? Waterproof raingear?..."
Wendy Swift was the honoree this August, as the Canoe Dock was filled by the entire Camp and many family and friends. Congratulations Wendy on a new trip canoe graced with her name, joining the Pathfinder fleet. Graham England led the charge, building much of the 'Wendy' at Jack Hurley's shop. Wendy's children donated the canoe in her honor. Graham presented Wendy with her bow deck plaque, while speakers Glenn Arthurs, Bill Swift Jr. and Jack Hurley commemorated the event.
CITs JR MacKenzie, Mike Pickfield, Matt Sanford and Jake Kennedy took a big share of the work during a new build this August. Jack Hurley and Will Hopkins led the CIT class in creating a new canoe to honor Bob 'Guide' Coakley. Each summer, the CITs work on a Legacy Project that leaves a lasting mark on Camp.
Launch date on the Bob Guide is June 2010. View more photos ...

The visit was bittersweet, as we saw the Rupert in its last days as a free-flowing powerful river. As of November, the hydro authorities will have begun the diversion that will end the Rupert's life. Where will Pathfinder trip next in this area? My journey was to work with native contacts who are willing to help us develop new routes and cultural experiences in the region. Ryan made the trip to add new photographs to his portfolio, and to scout future photo projects with the Cree. See Ryan's terrific images at: ryanarthursphoto.blogspot.com.
There were so many incredible moments on this trip. A freighter canoe trip down Rupert Bay to the mouth of the Broadback River and bayside Cree goose camps. Treks to the whitefish harvest at historic Smokey Hills Rapids on the Rupert. Eating grouse and bear with a Cree family at their hunt camp near Pontax River. Watching cooks prepare bay geese, spinning them on twine skewers over poplar smoke fires. The rivers and the people of this land offer so much for future Pathfinder trips.
Huntsville Landmark Burns
Monday, Oct. 19
Just as this year's George Liederhaus visitors were packing bags to head up to Camp, news broke that fire had destroyed the Empire Hotel in Huntsville. Alumnus Tim Lamont keeps track of Globe and Mail articles on line, and sent this link for columnist/author Roy MacGregor's remembrance of the Empire.

Alumni - Pathfinder Needs You!
What can you do to help your old tripping camp up in Algonquin? Three things:
Refer a new camper, Donate to the scholarship fund, Locate lost alumni.
1) New Campers: do you know a boy who would thrive at Pathfinder. Let us know!
2) Help a Camper in need: give a modest donation to the Algonquin Campership Fund. It sends needy boys to Pathfinder. Every new donor helps us attract more new donors. Our fund is strong and useful - join us!
3) Find lost Pathfinder men: guys we have lost touch with over the years. If you know them, or know where they are, please shout out and let me know!
See the list of Lost Alumni Names ...
Be sure to join the Facebook group CPI, to reconnect with your camp friends!
Email me to help out on any of these fronts. And keep watching this page!

Recently I heard from both Neal Hunter and Bruce Ackert ('50s), and Bruce sent from his home in Las Vegas these recollections of his trips ...
We had a nice note from alum Mitch Derrick ('80s) recently. Fun to read ...
Mack Abbot sent me a written rationale he used to enter a university course on politics of resource management. It's always nice to see our guys heading toward professions that reflect the influence of their years in a canoe. Mack's essay ...
Brent Hurley had a wild ride from Argentina to Cape Town South Africa on his tall ship S/V Concordia. Brent is teaching aboard the ship this year as it cruises the world for ClassAfloat. Brent met Ron Irwin in Cape Town and went out on the town. After a 30-day sail full of big seas, bad weather, and huge ice bergs, landfall must have been nice.

Report on Canoe Donations
The Swift family is the most recent in a string of generous alumni to donate a trip canoe to Pathfinder. In 2009, a new Hurley canoe will be named Wendy Swift and will take its place on the racks, and be assigned to a Pathfinder Headman. Wendy's children made the gift in observance of Camp's 95th anniversary.
Likewise in 2008, canoes were donated by Steve and Debbie Lapey, who had a nice 1988 Spencer trip canoe, and by Professor Henry 'Pete' French, who commissioned Jack to build a new edition of the Chief Norton #1. Bill Brice also donated a classic, a 1925 Peterborough canoe still in excellent condition for in-camp paddling.
In 2009, we will also be starting a new Hurley trip canoe dedicated to Bob "Guide" Coakley. It is highly appropriate that the CITs of 2009 will be building this boat with the guidance of Jack Hurley. Bravo Bob Guide, and get ready CITs!!!
Currently the Pathfinder fleet stands at 36 top-notch wood-canvas trip canoes! More on the canoe fleet soon. ms
A Few Fun Images
I caught Bob Roggow in a pensive pose at the end of the Pardee-Harness portage in July this summer. I'm here to tell you, Rags has still got it on the trail!
Gyro Coakey and Rags watching over First Set trip departures.
An old snapshot of Bob Guide Coakley leading a trip, ca. 1967. Photo by Roggow, we think. Pathfinder will be naming its next new-build trip canoe for Bob!
Someone sent me this classic shot back in autumn, of Jack Hurley with Swifty. I will bet this was at the 85th camp reunion in @ 1998.
Johnny Baronich in his annual role as Jacques B, the logger/trapper/ladies man with special affection for Pathfinder. Here he's leading some young campers through the Logging Museum in August. Many saw him at the Reunion banquet, where he was key to getting 3 generations of Baronich's to the Island.
Source Laker Thom Dernoga sent me this classic of the old West Gate stop on Hwy. 60. Long gone are the days when you had to answer questions on your plans while in the Park, and the fun of saying 'Pathfinder!' while rolling by unquestioned.
A Real Tripper's Logo
I always get a kick out of the company logo of my first-ever Pathfinder counselor, George Hubbard. I asked him to send a copy and explain how he came up with it.
The Algonquin Advisors logo was created by me and another Pathfinder brave, George Hubbard, Jr. Using some serious artistic license, we adapted the portage sign found at every trailhead throughout the Park..." Read more ...

Steve and Debbie Lapey donated a beautiful canoe at Reunion. Steve's comments ...
Brice donates a classic Peterborough
Bill Brice, wife Carole and daughter Whitney met the May Crew boys at Cache Lake landing on May 26. Bill paddled up in a beautiful 1925 Peterborough canoe. He presented it to Pathfinder in honour of the 95th camp anniversary year. Bill and his wife Carol recently wrote to us:
We bought our cottage on Cache Lake in 1970. The owners bought a new Peterborough 16-foot canoe in 1925 when they built the cabin. It has been stored all these years beneath the cottage. No broken ribs or planks. It may need new seats.
We'd be happy for hte canoe to have a new home - at least it's the right color! When we are up this summer I'll call camp to come to the landing and pick it up.
At Reunion Banquet this August, Bill and his family attended and were recognized for this wonderful gift. Thanks Brices!
French Family Donates Canoe for 2008
Henry "Pete" French, a '40s alum and college professor in Rochester has ordered a new trip canoe from Jack Hurley's shop, to give Pathfinder in her 95th season.
Pete wrote us:
I went to Pathfinder as an Ottawa in the 1940s and went through the "chairs," finally becoming a head trip man in the 1950s. Chief Norton was most generous guiding me through and into the camping tradition. As I have noted before, my first trip was with Bill Swift (my neighbor in Brighton) that used the wonderful canvas red canoes.
Bev and I would love to buy a replacement...so give me the "marching orders" and we will attend in August to see the results. I am most happy to thank Pathfinder for giving me and two of my sons a wonderful legacy in "tripping heaven".
We have two six year old and two eight year old grandchildren. I am in hopes that a third generation of Frenches will have the enjoyment of the North Woods on Source Lake. It is for this reason, that we are pleased to donate a canoe in "Chief's" honor/memory.
What a wonderful program to replace canoes and, at the same time, replace memories for generations to come! This is a legacy that we all appreciate.
Thanks for the opportunity. Cheers!
All Aboard For Reunion 95 in 2008
Alumni! mark your calendar and plan to attend The 95th Anniversary Reunion, to be held at Camp on Aug. 22-24, 2008. The big event will be upon us in less than 3 months!
As of May 30, reservations are rolling back into the camp office and already we have over 90 people attending.
If you are an alumnus of Pathfinder, send Sladds a message and include your updated address and email info. You can also mention other alumni friends who may be 'lost' to Pathfinder, so we may capture their info. and make sure they're invited.
Your invite will have a reply card and return envelope. Please return your family's enrollment asap, because this event is a first-come, first-served affair. The reply card will ask you if a spouse or children are attending, if you have a sleepage preference such as a particular tent or cabin, or perhaps you are thinking of staying at a local lodge. We will inquire about any dietary preferences, etc.
Tentative schedule for this summer's reunion event includes cocktails and dinner Friday night 8/22, a full Daily Programme of optionals on Saturday, a big banquet Saturday night, and a pancake breakfast on Sunday morning. And a couple of surprises tba.
Kids: Alumni kids are welcome this year, and we have a special reduced rate for them. Children infant to age 6 are free, ages 7-6 are only $65.00, and ages 17+ are the regular adult price. A children's program and meal sittings will be offered.
Pricing: for the 95th anniversary, the Reunion weekend will be priced at $200 per adult. Half the amount covers all meals, banquet beverages, activities, staffing, boat gas, parking permits, etc. The other half is a $100 contribution to a fund that will pay for complete renovation of the Swim Dock in 2009. It's one of the hubs of camp, and a worthy project for this camp milestone year.
This year we are very interested in sharing some of the terrific photographs and films made of Camp over the last 95 summers. Sladds and Glenn have invested time and money to digitize hours of 1930s-'60s home movie footage and '80s-'90s analog video. There are some great scenes! There is much digital moving footage from the past few seasons as well. As far as photographs go, we have 15,000 digitals and counting. Some vintage pix are shown below. Please let us know if you have cool images of your time at Camp. We would like to copy and add yours to the archive!
More 95th Reunion News in coming weeks. Keep in touch with this page and send in your sign up for the event!
Reunion News from the Marks Clan
Apr 29. Andy Marks wrote this morning to update me.
Mike Marks passed March, '05 at age 64. His first year at Pathfinder was 1953 at age 12. At the time, Jeff 7 and myself 5 were in Lodge I East with Bill Queenan as our counselor. His son was in the lodge too, I believe. I don't remember seeing much of Mike as I wrote for "Paddles Flashing..." though Jeff remembers that he kept a good eye on us. He is missed.
I know that Todd and his hoard of 5 females will be up for the reunion. Don't know about Scott. I will be starting a new job tomorrow. It is at an urgent medical care center which runs from 8AM-10PM 365 D/Y. Getting time off for vacations is always a challenge. But I will give it my best shot! Andy
Dispatch From Iraq: Lt. Ted Hubbard
editor's note: Our friend and fellow Headman Ted Hubbard is a Marine Corps officer, stationed in Ramadi, Iraq for some months now. Ted is a long-time camper and staff member at Pathfinder. A graduate of Boston College, Ted followed brother George, father George Sr. and uncle Tom Hubbard to Pathfinder Island. Ted's era at Pathfinder saw him lead trips throughout Algonquin and to far-away destinations like the Missinaibi River and Lake Superior. Today Ted's leadership is a matter of life and death.
We've been hearing from Ted pretty regularly, and are grateful to read that his units have had success and are not experiencing a lot of fighting in the city at this stage of the war. It's a long way and a long time to be away from home, so please keep this fellow Pathfinder in your thoughts.

Hargraves Reconnect With Camp
In August, 1940s alum Bob Hargrave (above, center) arrived at Source Lake with a half dozen canoes and his extended family of kids and grand-kids. The whole crew paddled up into Bruce and Raven Lakes, and made an inspection tour of Pathfinder. Among the visitors was Bob's son Tom Hargrave, who attended Pathfinder in the 1970s. Tom's Cree-aged sons Cooper and Peter took a look around and promptly asked to sign up for 2008. So, the family tradition continues. Recently, Tom sent in these two terrific pictures from Bob's camper years: Mr. Hargrave on the portage with his tumped camper roll in a duffel, and his trip relaxing at the rocky point site on Owl L.
Alumni friends: if you're reading this and have camp photos or memorabilia please contact Sladds. We are building a nice archive on our way to the 95th anniversary.

March on Cache Lake
Well, o.k. its not summer, but the season started early this year. Sladds headed north in March with Mac Rand to check on camp and meet up on a sunny Cache Lake Sunday with birthday boys Jack Hurley and Tom Pigeon. These two are behind the scenes players essential to any successful Pathfinder summer. The season ahead was the hot topic on this cool Algonquin day. Brent mayor Jake Pigeon arrived with wife Bonnie and their sons Forest and Sky.
Ice Out Moment
Ryan Arthurs and Karl Doench met Sladds at Source in late April to start the show. Thaw the pump tank, put in the water line, open the kitchen, and check the Island for damage.
Keep the stove hot in the PX, and get ready for the May Crew to arrive.
Stacey Teaches Zed Drag to June Headmen
Jeff instructs the ORCA whitewater clinic for Pathfinder Headmen in June. Jeff was a director of Paddlefoot for some years, but has dropped his paddle briefly to attend Teachers College at Trent University. The clinic was a huge success, and our boys came away with ORCA II Moving Water certification.
All Hail Gyro
Staff Week 07 was capped by a special presentation, honoring Jim Gyro" Coakley with a new trip canoe crafted by Jack Hurley and Graham England in Gyros name. Serving Pathfinder since 1961, Gyro remains on Staff each summer counseling the trip staff, from the little details to the big missions.
At the ceremony, attended by all Staff and many alumni, Graham explains the derivation of Gyro, from the cartoon character Gyro Gearloose. From left: Mac Rand, Jack Hurley, Graham England, Gyro.

Brent and Swifts
During first half, Tripping Director Brent Hurley got in the picture with Jack and Katie Warner, Sue Swift Warners next generation of trippers. Brents holding a snapshot of their grandparents Swifty and Wendy, with Brents mom Peggy, from the golden early days of Algonquin Outfitters. Jack was a Mic-Chipp for the first time this season, and Katie is a Northway Lodge girl.
At Cache Rec. Lodge
Late July found Gyro, Simon Mortimer and Mac Rand inspecting the last remaining ruins of the famous Cache Lake Rec. Lodge, razed this year after the heavy snow load of winter 06 collapsed the beloved landmark. Only memories remain.
R.Q. Anderson Canoe Dedication
Ambrose Night Honors for RQ Anderson. Brooks Anderson hosts the dedication of a Pathfinder trip canoe to his father, R.Q. Anderson, as guest of honor Quin looks on. The canoe dock was loaded with a full camper contingent, and dozens of alumni and Anderson family members. Quins remarks in acceptance of the banquet night honor included his enduring advice, leave this place better than you found it.
Two from the 80s.
Mitchell Anderson and Simon Mortimer hadnt seen each other in over 20 years when they met in Stalker Park this summer, but the conversation picked right up where they left off. Mitch runs a restaurant in Atlanta, and Simon a law firm in Toronto, but the talk was of canoe routes and good times on Pathfinder nights off.
A New Brack!

Nails and Mary Keeping it Real
Jim Nails Kennedy visited for the final week of First Half, bringing Dining Hall bits, and generally tending the fires of tradition like no other. Assistant Director Mary Chestnut and Nails kept us in stitches at the Head Table. Nails son Jake was an Ottawa tripper this summer.
Will Callaway came up from North Carolina in August to help run Family Camp, welcomed to the Island by CIT Director Ryan Arthurs and DOT Zach Arem.
Charlotte Acer's 1950s Sketches
In 2006, we had a great guy named Brett Harriss come up to work Second Half as a Headman. Rob Childs and George Hubbard recommended Brett. Then Brett told me his grandparents had been on the staff at Pathfinder in the Chief Norton era.
In the 1950s this Buffalo couple, Oscar and Charlotte Acer, came to work at Camp. She was the arts and crafts director, he was a trip headman. Their daughters, age 3 & 6, came along too, and spent the summer at a busy boys camp.
Charlotte made these pencil sketches of scenes on the island. Note especially the lanterns hung as night lights along the trails, the location of a sailboat dock near Lodge III, and views of a float plane at the canoe dock. This probably belonged to Park superintendent Frank MacDougall, whose son attended Pathfinder.
Some Pathfinder Alumni Memories
Alberto Hidalgo, Havana Cuba
Camp Pathfinder, 1948
My brother Manuel and I spent one of the most unforgettable summers at Camp Pathfinder in 1948.
I was 13 years of age at the time and my brother was 9. Our parents brought us from our home in Havana, Cuba for this experience. I stayed in a tent with two other boys and my staff man, Charlie Perlham, from Rochester, NY. He had attended Canisius College and he always wore the school colors with pride. My brother stayed in one of the lodges with several staff and lots of other kids.
On Sundays, we would ride the rails in a put-put to the Highland Inn Hotel on Cache Lake (now torn down) for Sunday Mass. During that summer, I learned to swim. As I progressed in my swimming skills, I qualified successively for row boating, canoeing and sailing. Once I was qualified for canoeing, I went on portaging trips with three other staff and many other kids. Once, after a turn in the trail, I walked up to a full grown stag with a huge rack! Needless to say, we pulled back slowly, until he disappeared in the woods.
I will never forget camping under the stars on cool summer nights and then waking up to harvest blueberries for a blueberry pancake breakfast at the campfire. One night, back at Camp, Charlie woke me up excitedly in the middle of the night. I got up to an unforgettable sight: the aurora borealis! It was like a bright, undulating curtain waving across the northern sky.
In 1971, while camping with my family (my wife and six children) in Algonquin Park, we visited the dock at Source Lake, but could not visit the Camp.
I recently found the Camp Pathfinder website and it brought back many happy memories of our childhood. It is good to see that Camp Pathfinder is still going strong and remains a marvelous summer experience for children.

Remembering Camp Pathfinder, 1940s
On a whim recently I stuck "Camp Pathfinder" in a Google search and found the website. First, its a very good site...
But secondly it was very satisfying to see that Pathfinder is still there....... !!
I was a camper, Chippewa if I remember correctly, way back in 1940 and 1941and remember Chief Norton, and "Tick" very well... I was from Buffalo back then, now live in Maine.. and also remember taking the train to camp as it stopped in Buffalo and had the Rochester campers already aboard. We all had blue shirts with Pathfinder in red above the pockets back then.... got the clothes at Sibley, Lindsay and Curr in Rochester..
Learned to swim at Pathfinder.... my grandfather had told me he would get me a sailboat as soon as I did... great incentive.. but probably the reason I was at Pathfinder for only two summers. The boat ended up being a 10' Peterborough sailing dinghy exactly like one of the two at Pathfinder in those days. I had that boat on Lake Erie until 1953 when I graduated from Hobart College and headed for the US Army at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Sold it to a friend....
I was a dedicated fisherman even way back then, and had brought my lake trout wire line deep trolling rig to camp with me... caught quite a few lakers in Source Lake while there. I remember that the camp cook was only too glad to serve them, too, along with batches of frogs legs we managed to catch on the old floating brush pile.
The one trip I most remember included Opeongo, Burnt Island, and I seem to remember a lake off the western upper end of Opeongo that might have been called Green? At any rate, the color of the water was close to that and perfectly clear. Didn't know what fish there might be in it but quickly found lots of smallmouth bass. Had a good supper that night...
Enjoyed reading through the reports, comments etc. and glad you are still going strong. I had lots of outdoor exposure and experience before getting to Pathfinder as a result of spending time from four years of age on up at my grandfathers camp on Pythonga Lake in Quebec (that's why I knew how to catch lake trout) but learned a great deal there, and look back on that time with fondness.
I went on to the world of work, and ended up the Orvis Company in Manchester, VT for about 12 years which was great for a fly fisherman, and ended up going back to school at age 60 and getting a Masters in Counseling at the University of New Hampshire, where I worked as a career counselor until 2002 when I retired.
I'm doing a bit of woodworking these days, and of course fishing, and at going on 74 years and in pretty good health expect at least a few more good years. I keep a web site going that you might enjoy looking at, its at:
That old brush pile was something.... If it is long gone or no one else remembers it, it was along the south shore of the island and consisted of three at least, maybe four huge logs hooked together at their ends to make a floating frame. If memory serves me well, boards had been laid on top of the logs to serve as a walkway. Into this was dumped all the cuttings and clearings of brush and wood, to allow them to deteriorate and sink to the bottom. The frame logs were plenty big enough for 9 and 10 year old boys to step on and still stay afloat. The bullfrog population was huge, both in numbers and in size of each frog. While the food in the mess hall was excellent, there were a couple of us who had tasted frogs legs in the past, which is what prompted the foraging on the brush pile once the frogs were discovered. I am sure that this was not officially viewed as a desirable or encouraged use of camper's spare time, but we sure learned how to catch bullfrogs.
Hard to believe that was 63 years ago or thereabouts...
Anyway, enough of an old man's ramblings, just wanted to let you know how glad I was to find that Pathfinder's still there and looking good.....
Bill Cass, Eliot, Maine

Rainer Hertrich, who started a continuous daily ski ambition on 1 November 2003, has just celebrated his 2000th consecutive day. Using every conceivable means of getting up mountains mechanically, he's telemark-skied in North and South America.
This report from Vail Daily:
Quotes: "Hertrich has endured through rain, sleet, severe temperatures, a separated shoulder, four broken ribs and even had to avoid a herd of llamas once in South America."
"Hertrich, as of Wednesday, was at nearly 66 million vertical feet since the streak began. He said that reaching that mark is most important to him."
This report on his 1000th consecutive day in 2006, from mysnowsports.com:
Congratulations, Rainer!
