Rule 1. Appearances by Counsel with Knowledge and Authority. Counsel who appear in the Division must be fully familiar with the case in regard to which they appear and fully authorized to enter into agreements, both substantive and procedural, on behalf of their clients.

Rule 2. Settlements and Discontinuances. If an action is settled, discontinued, or otherwise disposed of, counsel shall immediately inform the court by submission of a copy of the stipulation or a letter directed to the Clerk of the Part. Filing a stipulation of discontinuance with the County Clerk does not suffice.

The Clerk of the Part in question can also provide information about scheduling in the Part (trials, conferences, and arguments on motions). Where circumstances require exceptional notice, it will be furnished directly by Chambers. Counsel who wish to receive a copy of a decision may submit a stamped, self-addressed envelope with their motion papers (not separately).
Rule 6. RESERVED FOR FUTURE USE.
Rule 7. Preliminary Conferences; Requests. A preliminary conference will be held within 45 days of assignment of the case to a Commercial Division Justice, unless impracticable for unusual reasons. Where a Request for Judicial Intervention is accompanied by a dispositive motion, the preliminary conference shall take place within 30 days following the decision of such motion (if not mooted). Requests for preliminary conferences in unassigned cases should be filed in Clerk's Office, Room 152. In assigned cases, counsel should contact the Clerk of the Part if the court itself does not direct a conference in a decision or otherwise. Notice of the Preliminary Conference date will be sent by Chambers.
Rule 8. Consultation Among Counsel and with the Client Prior to Preliminary and Compliance Conferences. Counsel for all parties shall consult prior to a preliminary or compliance conference about (i) resolution of the case, in whole or in part, and (ii) discovery and any other issues to be discussed at the conference. Counsel shall make a good faith effort to reach agreement on these matters in advance of the conference. It is also suggested that counsel, prior to a conference, determine by consultation with the client the availability and schedules of witnesses at least five weeks in advance.
Rule 9. Familiarity with Outstanding Motions. Counsel must be prepared to discuss and/or orally argue at conference appearances any motions that have been submitted and are outstanding.
Rule 10. Submission of Information. At the preliminary conference, counsel shall furnish the court with the following: (i) a complete caption, including the index number; (ii) the name, address, telephone, e-mail address and fax numbers of all counsel; (iii) the dates the action was commenced and issue joined; (iv) a statement as to what motions, if any, are pending and before whom; and (v) copies of any decisions previously rendered in the case.
Rule 11. Discovery Schedule. The preliminary conference will result in the issuance by the court of a case scheduling order. Where appropriate, the order will contain specific provisions for means of early disposition of the case, such as (i) directions for submission to the Alternative Dispute Resolution Program, (ii) a schedule of limited-issue discovery in aid of early dispositive motions or settlement, or (iii) a schedule for dispositive motions before disclosure or after limited-issued disclosure. Unless otherwise ordered, dispositive motions shall be made within 60 days of the certification conference. The order will also contain a comprehensive disclosure schedule, including dates for the completion of impleader and discovery, motion practice, a compliance conference if needed, a date for filing the note of issue, and a date for a pre-trial conference and a trial date.
Rule 12. Non-Appearance at a Conference. The failure of counsel to appear for a conference shall be dealt with by an order directing dismissal, the striking of an answer and an inquest or direction for judgment, or other appropriate sanction. 22 NYCRR §§130-1.2 and 202.27.
Rule 13. Adherence to Discovery Schedule. Parties shall strictly comply with discovery obligations by the dates set forth in all case scheduling orders. No extensions of such deadlines shall be allowed. Non-compliance with such an order will have the following consequences, at a minimum. If any party fails to produce documents in timely fashion, an appropriate sanction may be imposed against that party pursuant to CPLR 3126. If a party seeking an examination before trial fails to proceed with it on the date or by the deadline fixed, that party will be held to have waived it. If a party fails to submit to an examination as scheduled, either that party will be precluded from introducing testimony at trial or another sanction will be imposed, upon submission of an affidavit of non-appearance within ten days of the non-appearance. If no such submission is timely made, the party seeking the deposition will be held to have waived it. If a party seeks documents as a condition precedent to a deposition and the documents are not produced by the date fixed, the party seeking disclosure must ask the court to intervene on penalty of waiving the deposition.
Rule 14. Disclosure Disputes. Counsel must consult with one another in a good faith effort to resolve all disputes about disclosure. See 22 NYCRR 202.7. Except as provided in Rule 24 hereof, if counsel are unable to resolve a disclosure dispute in this fashion, the aggrieved party shall contact the Clerk of the Part to arrange a conference. Counsel should request a conference by telephone if that would be more convenient and efficient than an appearance in court. Counsel shall retain the right to bring a formal motion to compel or for sanctions or other relief, but only after complying with the foregoing procedure (Rule 24) and complying with a motion schedule set by the court.
Rule 15. Adjournments of Conferences. Adjournments on consent are permitted for good cause where notice of the request is given to all parties. Contact the Clerk of the Part. Adjournment of a conference will not change any subsequent date in the Preliminary Conference Order. Adjournment of a dispositive motion or certification conference may only be done by Chambers.
Rule 16(a.) Form of Motion Papers. So as to facilitate the framing of a decision and order, the movant shall specify, clearly and comprehensively, in the notice of motion, order to show cause, and in a concluding section of a memorandum of law, the exact relief sought. Counsel must attach copies of all pleadings and other documents as required by the CPLR and as necessary for an informed decision on the motion (especially on motions pursuant to CPLR 3211 and 3212). Counsel should use tabs when submitting papers containing exhibits. Copies must be legible. If a document to be annexed to an affidavit or affirmation is very voluminous and only discrete portions are relevant to the motion, counsel shall attach excerpts and submit the full exhibit separately. Documents in a foreign language shall be properly translated [CPLR 2101(b)]. Whenever reliance is placed upon a decision or other authority not readily available to this court, a copy of the case or of pertinent portions of the authority shall be submitted with the motion papers. Motion papers shall comply with Part 130 of the Rules of the Chief Administrator, be double-spaced and contain print no smaller than ten-point, on 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper, bearing margins no smaller than one inch. CPLR 2101; 22 NYCRR 202.5(a). The print size of footnotes shall be nine-point. Only memoranda of law, without exhibits, may be submitted as courtesy copies in accordance herewith.
(b.) Proposed Orders. When appropriate, proposed orders should be submitted with motions, e.g., motions to be relieved, pro hac vice admissions, open commissions, etc.
Rule 17. Length of Papers. Unless otherwise permitted by the court for good cause, briefs or memoranda of law are limited to 25 pages each. Reply memoranda shall be no more than 15 pages and shall not contain any arguments not made in the memoranda in chief. Affidavits and affirmations are limited to 25 pages each.
Rule 18. Sur-Reply and Post-Submission Papers. Counsel are reminded that the CPLR does not provide for sur-reply papers, however denominated. Nor is the presentation of papers or letters to the court after submission or argument of a motion permitted. Absent express permission in advance, such materials shall not be read. Opposing counsel who receives a copy of materials submitted in violation of this Rule should not respond in kind.
Rule 19. Orders to Show Cause. Motions should be brought on by order to show cause only when there is genuine urgency (e.g., applications for provisional remedies), a stay is required or a statute mandates so proceeding. Absent permission, reply papers should not be submitted on orders to show cause.
Rule 19-a. Statements of Material Facts on Motion for Summary Judgment.
[EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2003]
(i) Upon any motion for summary judgment, other than motions pursuant to CPLR 3213, there shall be annexed to the notice of motion a separate, short and concise statement of the material facts as to which the moving party contends there is no genuine issue to be tried. Failure to submit such a statement may constitute grounds for denial of the motion.
(ii) The papers opposing a motion for summary judgment, other than motions pursuant to CPLR 3213, shall include a separate, short and concise statement of the material facts as to which it is contended that there exists a genuine issue to be tried.
(iii) All material facts set forth in the movant's statement of material facts will be deemed to be admitted for purposes of the motion unless controverted by the statement required to be served by the opposing party.
(iv) Each statement of material fact by a movant or opponent must be followed by citation to evidence submitted in support of or in opposition to the motion.
Rule 20. Temporary Restraining Orders. Absent extraordinary circumstances, a temporary restraining order will not be issued unless the applicant has given notice to the opposing parties sufficient to permit them an opportunity, if so inclined, to appear and contest the application.
Rule 21. Courtesy Copies. Courtesy copies should not be submitted unless requested or as herein provided.
Rule 22. Oral Argument. Either party may request oral argument on the face of their papers or in an accompanying letter. The Court will determine whether oral argument will be heard and, if so, counsel and the parties shall appear on the date selected by the Court for oral argument. At that time, counsel shall be prepared to argue the Motion, discuss resolution of the issue(s) presented and/or schedule a trial or hearing.
Rule 23. 60 Day Rule. If sixty days have elapsed after a motion has been finally submitted or oral argument held, whichever was later, and no decision has been issued by the court, counsel for the movant shall send the court a letter alerting it to this fact with copies to all parties to the motion.
Rule 24. Advance Notice of Motions
(a.) Prior to the making or filing of any post-RJI motions, except a motion to be relieved as counsel or for pro hac vice admission, counsel for the moving party shall advise the Court in writing (no more than two [2] pages) on notice to opposing counsel advising as to the issue(s) in dispute and requesting a telephone conference. If a cross motion is contemplated, a like letter notice shall be forwarded to the Court and counsel. Such correspondence shall not be considered by the Court in reaching its decision.
(b.) Upon review of the letter application, the Court will schedule a telephone conference with counsel. Counsel fully familiar with the matter and with authority to bind their client must be available to participate in the conference. The unavailability of counsel for the scheduled conference, except for good cause shown, may result in granting of the application without opposition and/or the imposition of sanctions.
(c.) If the matter can be resolved during the telephone conference, an order consistent with such resolution may be issued and telefaxed to counsel. At the discretion of the court, such conferences may be held on the record.
(d.) If the matter cannot be resolved, the parties will set a briefing schedule for the motion which shall be approved by the Court. Except for good cause shown, the failure to comply with the briefing schedule may result in the submission of the motion unopposed or the dismissal of the motion, as may be appropriate.
(e.) On the face of all post-RJI motions and orders to show cause, there shall be a statement that there has been compliance with this Rule. The failure to comply with this Rule may result in rejection of the motion, its denial and/or the imposition of sanctions.
Rule 25. Trial Schedule. Counsel will be expected to be ready to proceed either to select a jury or to begin presentation of proof on the scheduled date. Once a trial date is set, counsel are immediately to determine the availability of witnesses. If, for any reason, counsel are not prepared to proceed on the scheduled date, the court is to be notified within five days of the date on which counsel are given the trial date or, in extraordinary circumstances, as soon as reasonably practicable. Failure of counsel to provide such notification will be deemed a waiver of any application to adjourn the trial because of the unavailability of a witness. Witnesses are to be scheduled so that all trial time is completely utilized. Trials will commence each court day promptly at 9:30 a.m. and will proceed on a day-to-day basis from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, unless the Court otherwise directs. Failure of counsel to attend the trial at the time scheduled will constitute a waiver of the right of that attorney and his or her client to participate in the trial for the period of counsel's absence. There shall be no adjournment of a trial except for good cause shown. Actual engagement of trial counsel on trials scheduled more than 60 days in advance will not be recognized. 22 NYCRR 125.1(g).
Rule 26. Estimated Length of Trial. At least five days prior to trial or such other time as the court may set, the parties, after considering the testimony of, and, if necessary, consulting with their witnesses, shall furnish the court with a realistic estimate of the length of the trial.
Rule 27. Motions in Limine. The parties shall make all motions in limine returnable on the scheduled pre-trial conference date. Unless otherwise ordered by the court in advance, the moving and opposition papers, if any, on such motions shall be no longer than 10 pages per issue and 5 pages per issue in opposition. These papers shall comply with the limitations as to print size and margins set forth in Rule 16(a) above.
Rule 28. Pre-Marking of Exhibits. Counsel for the parties shall consult prior to trial and shall in good faith attempt to agree upon the exhibits that will be offered into evidence without objection. At the pre-trial conference date, each side shall then mark its exhibits to which no objection has been made. All exhibits not consented to shall be marked for identification only (ID). At least five days prior to trial or such other time as the court may set, each party shall submit to the court and other counsel a list of the exhibits reflecting "in EV." or "ID only". If the trial exhibits are exceptionally voluminous, counsel shall consult the Clerk of the Part for guidance. The Court will Rule upon the objections to the contested exhibits at the earliest possible time after consultation with counsel. Exhibits not previously demanded which are to be used solely for credibility or rebuttal need not be pre-marked. This Rule shall be coordinated with Rule 30(b).
Rule 29. Identification of Deposition Testimony. Counsel for the parties shall consult prior to trial and shall in good faith attempt to agree upon the portions of deposition testimony to be offered into evidence without objection. The parties shall delete from the testimony to be read questions and answers that are irrelevant to the point for which the testimony is offered. Each party shall prepare a list of testimony to be offered by it as to which objection has not been made and, identified separately and clearly, a list of testimony as to which objection has been made. At least five days prior to trial or such other time as the court may set, each party shall submit its list to the court and other counsel, together with a copy of the portions of testimony as to which objection has been made. The Court will Rule upon the objections at the earliest possible time after consultation with counsel.
Rule 30. Pretrial Conference. The court will set a pretrial conference. Prior to the conference, counsel shall confer in a good faith effort to identify issues not in contention, resolve all disputed questions without need for court intervention, and settle the case. At the conference, counsel shall be prepared to discuss all matters as to which there is disagreement between the parties, including those identified in Rules 27-29, and the possibility of settlement. At or before the conference, the Court may require the parties to prepare a written stipulation of undisputed facts.
Rule 31. Pre-Trial Memoranda, Exhibit Book, and Requests for Jury Instructions
(a.) Counsel shall submit pre-trial memoranda at the pre-trial conference, or such other time as the Court may set. Counsel shall comply with CPLR 2103(e). A single memorandum no longer than 25 pages, with print size and margins as set forth in Rule 16 above, shall be submitted by each side. No memoranda in response shall be submitted.
(b.) At the pre-trial conference, counsel shall submit an indexed book of trial exhibits for the Court's use. A copy for each attorney on trial and the originals in a notebook for the witnesses. Plaintiff's exhibits shall be numerically tabbed and defendant's exhibits shall be tabbed alphabetically.
(c.) Where the trial is by jury, counsel shall, on the pre-trial conference date, provide the Court with case-specific requests to charge. Where the requested charge is from the New York Pattern Jury Instructions - Civil, a reference to the PJI number will suffice. Counsel shall also submit proposed jury interrogatories. Submissions should be by hard copy and disk or e-mail attachment in WordPerfect 10 format.
Rule 32. Scheduling of Witnesses. At the pre-trial conference, each party shall identify in writing for the court and the other parties the witnesses it intends to call, the order in which they shall testify and the estimated length of their testimony.
Rule 33. Preclusion. Except for good cause shown, no party shall present the testimony of a witness, portions of deposition testimony, or exhibits that were not identified as provided in Rules 28, 29, and 31 hereof and not identified during the course of disclosure in response to a relevant discovery demand of a party or an order of the court.
In general, the Commercial Parts of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, entertain complex commercial and business disputes in which a party seeks compensatory damages totaling $ 75,000 or more. Due to caseload considerations, the Justices are empowered to transfer out of the Division cases which, in their judgment, do not fall within this category notwithstanding that a party has described the case as "commercial" on the RJI. The principles set out below will guide the exercise of this authority. Parties should adhere to these principles when designating a case type on the RJI. (See Paragraph (c) for documentation which should accompany the RJI).
(a) The following will presumptively be transferred out of the Division even if the monetary threshold is met:
(1) Suits to collect professional fees;
(2) Cases seeking a declaratory judgment as to insurance coverage for a personal injury or non-commercial property damage action;
(3) Residential real estate disputes, including landlord-tenant matters;
(4) Proceedings to enforce a judgment regardless of the nature of the underlying case;
(5) First-party insurance claims and actions by insurers to collect premiums or rescind policies; and
(6) Attorney malpractice actions.
(b) Actions in which the principal claims involve the following will presumptively be retained in the Division provided that the money threshold is met:
(1) Breach of contract or fiduciary duty, fraud, misrepresentation, business tort (e.g., unfair competition), or statutory violation arising out of business dealings (e.g., sales of assets or securities, corporate structurings, partnership, shareholder, joint venture, and other business agreements, trade secrets and restrictive covenants);
(2) Transactions governed by the Uniform Commercial Code(exclusive of those concerning individual coop units);
(3) Transactions involving commercial real property;
(4) Shareholder derivative actions and commercial class actions;
(5) Commercial bank transactions;
(6) Internal affairs of business organizations or liability to third parties of officials thereof;
(7) Malpractice by accountants or actuaries;
(8) Environmental insurance coverage litigation; and
(9) Corporation or Partnership dissolutions.
(c) The determination as to whether a case should be retained in a Commercial Part will be made as soon as a matter is assigned to a Justice. For this purpose, counsel must annex a brief sworn statement justifying the Commercial designation, and a copy of the summons and complaint or summons with notice, if any, to any submission accompanying an RJI. Retained cases will remain in the Commercial Part.
(d) Special proceedings (including applications pursuant to CPLR 3102(c) and (e) relating to CPLR Article 75) and foreclosures are randomly assigned among all Justices in the Supreme Court, Nassau County. Even when parties believe that a special proceeding or foreclosure has a "commercial" character, the "special proceedings" or "foreclosure" portion of the RJI should be completed by the filing party, not the "commercial" section. However, prior to the actual assignment of the matter to a Justice, a party to a commercial special proceeding may apply to the Administrative Judge to override the computer and designate the matter as "commercial" for treatment if it raises issues of extraordinary complexity.
(e) An order of transfer issued by a Justice of a Commercial Part is an administrative matter. A party claiming to have been aggrieved by such an order may seek review by letter application (two pages maximum, with a copy to all parties) to the Administrative Judge. Any such application that is not made promptly after the issuance of the transfer order will be denied as untimely irrespective of its merits. The order of the Administrative Judge is final and subject to no further review or appeal.

Hey guys, I have already spoken to the vet about this, and he said there's really nothing to worry about, but I wanted to see what you all thought. Harlow is CONSTANTLY eating Degan's poop! I swear it is her favorite treat. She is also always trying to sticks, grass, leaves, and other plants.
Do any of your dogs do this? And why do you think she does? We feed her Wellness grain-free food because she is a little allergy dog and the food we used to have them on seemed to bother her stomach.
She doesn't ever throw up after eating the plants, so I don't think it's to soothe her stomach, so maybe she just likes it?
But most importantly, do you guys have any advice on how to get her to stop? She loves to give kisses and it is really disgusting when she tries to do that with a mouth full of poop!

Resolution createsfunding task force
At the end of this year's legislative session, the House and Senate passed a concurrent resolution that set the stage to discuss providing additional funding for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) is the state agency responsible for managing Oklahoma's fish and wildlife resources. Among its many accomplishments, the ODWC has successfully restored white-tailed deer and wild turkey across the state. It also manages some of the nation's finest sport fisheries, creating unlimited fishing opportunities for more than 1 million Oklahoma residents.
Due to a lack of sufficient funding, however, the ODWC does not have the resources to maintain the long-term viability of its programs and services.
"I sincerely believe we need to get everyone involved in the funding mechanism because for the last two years, we haven't passed any major funding for the Wildlife Department," said Rep. Dale Smith (D-St. Louis), chairman of the House Wildlife Committee. "By including people from the Governor's Office, Tax Commission and Office of State Finance, as well as from the House and Senate, I think it will really help in coming up with the most appropriate plan for bringing the Department's funding to at least the national average."
The resolution, HCR-1113, was co-authored by Smith and Sen. Frank Shurden (D-Henryetta). It calls for a 16-member task force composed of five House members, five senators, three members appointed by the Governor, and one member each from the Office of State Finance, Oklahoma Tax Commission and the Wildlife Department. Key items for review spelled out in the resolution include:
1. Reviewing current funding sources for programs and services administered by the ODWC.
2. Reviewing funding mechanisms for state wildlife programs being proposed or pending at the federal level.
3. Surveying funding mechanisms being used by other state wildlife departments and;
4. Evaluating potential, additional sources, including but not limited to, the dedication of a certain portion of sales tax receipts for wildlife programs and services.
Smith points to the task force as the type of comprehensive discussion needed to accomplish what hasn't happened the last two legislative sessions - secure additional funding for state fish and wildlife programs. The last funding increase for the Wildlife Department occurred in 1994 and was only projected to provide the Department with sufficient income until mid-1997.
Operating under austere budgets, the agency has managed to survive without additional funding, but it has not been able to expand programs or services. Meanwhile, several years of across-the-board budget cuts and an agency-wide reduction in personnel through retirements and other vacancies have forced the Department to either secure additional funding or face the prospect of reducing additional services in the future.
Because of the funding crunch, the ODWC has been forced to impose mileage limitations on game warden patrols and suspend plans for a potential hunting and fishing access program. It has also been unable to budget funds for capital improvements to fish hatcheries, offices and other Department installations. It may also compromise the ODWC's ability to effectively implement a new deer management plan, a plan that is being developed by a panel of Oklahoma sportsmen and landowners.
"The concurrent resolution sets up a group that will diligently look at all aspects of funding," Smith said. "This includes looking at what other states are doing and hopefully as a result, we'll come out with something that will create a major funding mechanism for the Wildlife Department. If we want top provide the best fish and wildlife programs and services for ourselves and future generations, we must look at long-range funding for the Department - something that at least gets us to the national average for wildlife agencies."
Currently, the Department receives no general state tax revenues and is funded primarily through hunting and fishing license sales and a special federal manufacturer's excise tax on sporting equipment. More than one-third of Oklahoma's residents hunt or fish, and another significant percentage enjoy wildlife watching in one form or another. Combined, these outdoor enthusiasts spend about $1.3 billion in the state, generating almost $40 million in sales tax revenues and creating some 34,000 jobs.
During the last two legislative sessions, Rep. Smith and Sen. Shurden have co-authored bills designed to provide the ODWC with additional operating revenue. Both bills died in conference committees.
"Whatever we do, we must do enough to adequately fund the Wildlife Department to allow the agency to address salaries for all employees, as well as update equipment, improve existing programs and establish new ones that will provide additional services to the people of the state," Smith said. "Our state deserves to have, and can have, the best hunting and fishing programs in the country. It's just a matter of setting that priority, then funding it."
New Wildlife laws enacted
During the 2000 legislative session, which ended May 26, the Oklahoma Legislature passed several wildlife-related bills that were signed into law by Gov. Frank Keating.
Perhaps the most significant news from this session regards one important measure that did not pass. The Legislature failed to reach an agreement on House Bill 1717, which would have provided additional funding for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. Therefore, the Department will not receive an increase in budget funds for at least one more year. The bill was in the General Conference Committee on Appropriations when the session ended.
However, the House and Senate passed a concurrent resolution, HCR-1113, during the final hours of the session, which provides the groundwork for the Legislature to discuss the Department's need for additional funding during next year's session.
Another bill of interest to many Oklahomans was HB-1927. This bill authorizes the Department to promulgate rules for the taking of feral hogs during established hunting seasons. It also establishes a hunting season for feral hogs at Honobia Creek and Three Rivers wildlife management areas. The season will run from Sept. 1 - April 1 of each year.
HB-2178 prohibits the use of a device that noticeably suppresses noise from a firearm, commonly known as a silencer, for the purpose of killing or capturing a game animal or game or non-game bird.
HB-2179 prohibits the possession of any threatened species. It also makes it unlawful to possess any meat, head, hide or any part of the carcass of any wildlife not legally taken.
HB-2318 authorizes the Director of the Wildlife Department to permit the hunting or taking of wildlife with a crossbow by persons, otherwise qualified, who have a permanent disability to the extent that they cannot use a conventional longbow. A physician licensed to practice medicine in Oklahoma or a bordering must certify such a disability.
HB-2326 allows taxidermists to dispose of hides, antlers, horns, meat or other parts legally obtained.
HB-2387 prohibits tampering with a trotline, throwline, jugline or limbline of another person without permission from the owner of those devices.
From the Senate, SB-1108 requires the Wildlife Conservation Commission to immediately develop a plan to address the overpopulation of deer in various areas of the state. It also requires the Commission, if it determines that such overpopulation does exist, to implement appropriate portions of the plan.
SB-1182 modifies the dates for mussel harvest season on Grand Lake to run from May 1 - Oct. 30.
Prepare for fall with summer shooting
With the hottest days of summer still before us, it's hard to imagine that opening day of dove season is only three months away.
By Sept., 1, you'll surely be prepared to hunt mentally, but will your shooting skills be up to snuff?
Unfortunately, too many hunters neglect their shooting skills between hunting seasons, which translates to poor success during the early parts of dove and quail seasons. If you really want to improve your wingshooting success, the best thing you can do is practice at a local skeet or sporting clays range.
In addition to sharpening your shooting skills, practicing on clay targets is an excellent way to relax, as well as to socialize with hunting buddies, said Mike Sams, upland game biologist for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
"As with any sport, hunting requires some practice during the off-season if you want to perform at your best in the field," said Mike Sams, upland wildlife biologist for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. "Besides scouting for quality dove and quail habitat, the best way to improve the outcome of your hunt is to be a more proficient shooter. You can do that by practicing during the off-season on skeet or sporting clays."
When shooting skeet, shooters fire at a total of 25 targets from eight different stations. Depending on the station, a shooter will face clay targets, or "birds," going away or incoming, as well as passing shots and overhead shots.
Sporting clays, on the other hand, is often called "shotgun golf." A typical round of sporting clays consists of 50 targets in a variety of settings designed to mimic actual hunting situations. Shooters will face "birds" launched to imitate flushing quail, fast-flying doves, high-flying mallards and scampering rabbits. Many stations feature a combination, requiring quick reflexes and the ability to make snap decisions.
While shooting skeet or sporting clays is generally inexpensive, shooters can usually get considerable discounts by joining a skeet or sporting clays league. Many ranges host summer leagues in which shooters often meet new friends, fellow gun enthusiasts and new hunting partners.
If you own land in an area where shooting is permitted, you can also practice on your own with equipment available at many retailers. You can buy a mechanical thrower for less than $40, and a box of clay targets usually costs less than $5.
Either way, you can save even more money by loading your own shotgun shells. This also allows a shooter to develop a load that best suits his gun, as well as specific shooting situations.
By spending just one afternoon per week at the range, you'll find yourself in top form on Sept. 1 when dove season opens. The time spent practicing will pay off throughout the season.
Annual Illinois Riverclean-up set for June 9
A flotilla of canoeists will descend upon Oklahoma's popular Illinois River this week with a worthy mission, to have fun and clean up the river. To that end, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation and the Oklahoma Scenic Rivers Commission have designated June 9 as the 2000 Illinois River/Barren Fork Creek Clean-Up Day.
For those participating in the cleanup, local outfitters will provide canoes, paddles, life jackets and vehicle shuttles free of charge. Participants will also get a free lunch for their efforts. Those who do not want to float in canoes are invited to assist clean up efforts in Barren Fork Creek Area, a tributary of the Illinois River.
The annual event serves multiple purposes, said Paul Balkenbush, streams biologist with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. In addition to removing several tons of trash and debris from the fragile stream ecosystem, the event also increases awareness and promotes appreciation for healthy streams in Oklahoma.
"We have tons of fun during this event," Balkenbush said. "Every year, the cleanup allows many people to enjoy their first float-trip down the Illinois. They not only get to enjoy a fun day floating, swimming and fishing on the river, but they also get a sense of accomplishment from helping to clean up this beautiful area. I believe events like this also give people a better appreciation for just what we have here in Oklahoma, which are some outstanding stream resources."
Several activities are planned for the event at the Round Hollow Access Area. A free lunch will be served from 1 - 3 p.m. There will also be a drawing for prizes, including a free canoe. Each full bag of trash will earn one ticket. You can earn extra tickets for having the largest piece of trash , the most unusual piece of trash, etc.
For maximum comfort, wear old tennis shoes or water sandals, sunscreen and plenty of water or soft-drinks while on the river.
Pre-registration is required for all participants. To pre-register, contact the Oklahoma Scenic Rivers Commission at (918) 456-3251 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Leave your name, telephone number and the number of people in their party.
Check-in for the clean-up will be from 8:30 a.m. - 9:15 a.m. at the Scenic Rivers Commission Headquarters on S. Hwy. 10. It is located two miles north of the US Hwy 62 & S. Hwy 10 junction near Tahlequah. At check-in, participants will receive trash bags and a river map. They will also receive directions to their designated canoe outfitter who will then shuttle them up river.
Steering Committee briefs Commission
In its regular June meeting, the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission voted unanimously to encourage the Deer Management Steering Committee Monday to continue developing a comprehensive deer management plan for Oklahoma.
Containing 32 key Oklahoma deer stakeholders, the 21st Century Steering Committee submitted its five-step plan outline to the Commission. The Steering Committee developed the recommendations after a five-month process involving statewide public meetings and an intensive, three-day Steering Committee meeting. Major components of the plan included:
1. Creating new deer management zones based on habitat types and social considerations.
2. Maximizing doe hunting opportunity.
3. Reducing the buck aggregate limit from three to two.
4. Addressing landowner concerns.
5. Increasing education and communication regarding deer management and plan implementation.
After thoroughly reviewing each item and discussing several facets in depth, the Commission recognized the Committee for its work and encouraged it to continue working toward final recommendations. The Department has already finalized the framework for the 2000 deer season, so a new plan, pending approval by the Commission, wouldn't go into effect until the 2001 season at the earliest.
Also at the June meeting, the Commission unanimously approved a slate of officers. Elected were Harland Stonecipher, chairman; Mark Patton, Vice-Chairman, and Ed Abel, Secretary. The officers were recommended by a nominating committee that included commissioners John Groendyke, Jack Zink and Louis Stiles. The officers will begin their terms on July 1.
In his monthly report, Director Greg Duffy briefed the Commission on a slate of wildlife laws recently signed by Gov. Frank Keating. None of the laws will dramatically impact Department operations or the state's hunters and anglers, Duffy said, but there were two items of significant interest. One was House Bill 1927, which allows for the hunting of feral hogs on public land and private land. It allows for the Department to promulgate rules for hunting feral hogs on public land, which the Department plans to do over the next year.
The other was House Concurrent Resolution 1113. Sponsored by Rep. Dale Smith (D.-St. Louis) and Sen. Frank Shurden (D.-Henryetta), HCR-1113 will provide a forum to study additional funding needs for the Department.
"Oklahoma's hunters and fishermen pay a lot for conservation as it is, and license fee increases alone are not the answer for the Department's funding needs," Duffy said. "The last license fee increase that we had in 1994 was only supposed to provide sufficient funding through 1997, and although research shows that the overwhelming majority of Oklahoma hunters and anglers would support another increase, we don't consider that to be a long-term solution."
In other business, the Commission accepted a donation of two mobile display units from Matt Chilcutt, president of Chilcutt Direct Marketing. Valued at more than $20,000, the mobile display units will be used to enhance the Department's presence at various public venues around the state. Chilcutt is the regional vice-president for Quail Unlimited. He has been a strong supporter of the Department's conservation efforts.
Gary Purdy, regional director for the National Wild Turkey Federation, presented a plaque for Outstanding Hunting Heritage to Duffy on behalf of the Department. Purdy also presented a commemorative print to Assistant Director Richard Hatcher for his leadership in securing continued public hunting access to 725,000 acres of corporate timberland in southeast Oklahoma.
In personnel related business, the Commission voted to amend the Department's retirement plan, which included increasing the death benefit to $5,000 for Department employees. The previous benefit was $4,000. Other language changes were incorporated as required by recent federal legislation. Also, the Commission authorized a two-percent cost of living increase for Department retirees.
The Commission will hold its next meeting July 10 at the Department's headquarters in Oklahoma City. It will not hold a regular meeting in August..
Commission elects Stonecipher chairman
Harland Stonecipher of Centrahoma was unanimously elected as Commission Chairman Monday at the Commission's regular June meeting in Oklahoma City.
Stonecipher represents Wildlife Conservation District 4, which includes Creek, Okfuskee, Seminole, Pottawatomie, Pontotoc, Hughes, Johnston and Coal counties.
The Commission also unanimously elected commissioners Mark Patton of Edmond and Ed Abel of Yukon as Vice-Chairman and Secretary, respectively. The officers will begin their terms July 1.
"It is a great honor to be elected to be chairman of this fine Commission," Stonecipher said. "Along with this honor comes great responsibility, and I look forward to the added opportunities these responsibilities will bring in serving the sportsmen and sportswomen of our great state."
Stonecipher has served as a member of the Commission, the governing board for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, since 1993. He was re-appointed to his second term on the Commission by Gov. Frank Keating in April and confirmed by the Oklahoma State Senate.
An avid sportsman and hunting dog enthusiast, Stonecipher is also the founder and chief executive officer of Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., a company that is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
In addition to his passion for the outdoors, Stonecipher brings dynamic leadership and valuable experience to the Commission. He is keenly aware of the challenges facing the Department, and he said he is eager to continue working to ensure and maintain the integrity of the state's wildlife resources.
Registration open for Selman bat watches
If you'd like to witness one of Oklahoma's most extraordinary events, then make plans to attend one of the summer bat watches at the Selman Bat Cave near Woodward.
Purchased by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation in 1996, the Selman Bat Cave is home to nearly 1 million Mexican free-tailed bats. During the summer, the bats emerge from the cave at sunset in such great numbers that they seem to blacken the sky.
This summer, the Department's Wildlife Diversity Program will offer 10 evening bat watches on Fridays and Saturdays from July 7 to August 5. Pre-registration is required, and walk-ups will not be allowed to attend. Admission is $5 for children between ages 3-12, and $8 for adults.
"For the past three summers, the Department's Wildlife Diversity Program has conducted the Selman Bat Watches to give people an appreciation for bats and for what they do for us," said Melynda Hickman, natural resources biologist for the Department. "For example, the million bats in the Selman Bat Cave are estimated to eat 10 tons of insects nightly!"
More than 4,000 people have attended previous bat watches, coming from as far as Houston, Texas, and Kansas City, Missouri, to view one of the largest bat colonies in America, Hickman added.
In addition, the Wildlife Diversity Program will offer two separate "Nature at Night" evenings, which will take place 7 p.m.-midnight Saturday, June 24 and Saturday, August 12. After watching the evening's bat emergence, participants will explore the sand sage prairie after sundown. Professional biologists and volunteers will demonstrate how to observe wildlife at night by identifying wildlife tracks and night sounds. Astronomy activities will also be held, weather permitting. These evenings are limited to 20 adults (18 and up) and cost $18 per person.
The Selman Bat Watches are made possible through the efforts of the Selman Bat Cave Volunteers, Alabaster Caverns State Park, Freedom Public Schools and the James Selman Ranch.
Attention MEDIA: If you wish to attend a Media Day for the Selman Bat Watches, please contact Melynda Hickman at 405/521-4616.
Deer huntersset new record
Once again, Oklahoma deer hunters have set a new harvest record.
After tallying harvest totals from both muzzleloader and gun deer seasons, along with the early and late archery seasons, personnel from the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation recorded a final harvest total 82,724 deer. That number represents the state's 15th record deer harvest in 18 years, said Mike Shaw, the Department's research supervisor, and it's a considerable jump from last year's record of 80,008.
"We witnessed a fairly sizable increase in the harvest, but I'm disappointed in the relatively low number of antlerless deer in the total," Shaw said. "Obviously, that's an issue of ongoing concern, but it is something that we will continue to address. I simply cannot overstate the importance for hunters to harvest more female deer."
Like last year, Osage County yielded the highest harvest with 4,382, which was a slight drop from last year's total of 4,404. This year's total includes 2,982 bucks and 1,400 does. The buck harvest in Osage Co. dropped three percent, while the doe harvest increased five percent.
Next in line was Cherokee Co., with 3,269 (2,014 bucks, 1,255 does). Cherokee Co. was also the 1998 runner-up with a final harvest of 3,332.
Osage, Cherokee and Craig were the only counties to yield at least 1,000 does. Sequoyah Co., was fourth in that category with 974 does, followed by Muskogee Co., (951) and Woods Co., (938).
Despite an overall harvest increase of more than 2,700 deer, hunters took 27,625 does, a decrease of 1,246 does from the previous year. In 1999, does accounted for 33 percent of the annual harvest, compared to 36 percent in 1998. The buck harvest was 55,099.
Like 1998, pleasant weather during most of the gun and muzzleloader seasons contributed greatly to last year's success. Blackpowder hunters took 17,165 deer in 1999, compared to 15,891 in 1998. Of those, only 3,505 were does. Bowhunters took 11,757 deer, including 4,969 does.
Committee proceedingwith deer management plan
As Oklahoma's deer herd grows at an unprecedented pace, it creates special challenges for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
While providing abundant hunting opportunities for sportsmen, record numbers of deer also create conflicts for many Oklahoma citizens. To address these issues, the Department initiated a process several months ago to design a new deer management plan for the 21st century.
Designed to involve all of the state's deer stakeholders, the process began with a series of public meetings held across the state in which the Department gathered input regarding local and regional deer concerns.
Equipped with this information, the Department appointed a steering committee composed of individuals representing sportsmen's groups, landowners, agricultural interests, insurance interests and other groups. After an intense, three-day planning session, this committee drafted a management plan to present to the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission, the Department's governing body. To ensure that the plan was biologically sound and reflected as many viewpoints as possible, the Committee also contained wildlife biologists, game wardens and other Department personnel.
"When you consider that the white-tailed deer was nearly extinct in Oklahoma at the beginning of the century, the abundance of these animals today is one of the Department's most phenomenal success stories," said Alan Peoples, the Department's chief of wildlife. "However, there's no denying the fact that the increasing presence of deer in some areas has created some unique problems for many citizens. Our challenge is to determine the future composition of the state's deer herd, and to develop a comprehensive management strategy to accomplish that goal. This committee has put a great deal of time and effort into the initial part of that process, and it will continue to work toward a plan that will be most beneficial not only to the state's deer herd, but also to the public."
The plan contained four major components, including:
1. Creating new deer management zones based on habitat types and social considerations.
2. Maximizing doe hunting opportunities.
3. Reducing the buck aggregate limit from three to two.
4. Addressing landowner concerns and providing more opportunities for hunters to access private lands.
5. Increasing education and communication regarding deer management and plan implementation.
After a lengthy discussion, the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission endorsed the Committee's progress at its June 5 meeting in Oklahoma City and authorized it to continue fine-tuning the plan's final recommendations. The Committee will likely present its final recommendations to the Commission at its regular September meeting in Oklahoma City.
Stream cleanupa big success
Over the next few weeks, paddlers in northeast Oklahoma may notice that two of the region's most scenic streams are a lot cleaner than before.
They are indeed, thanks to more than 250 volunteers who participated June 9 in the Illinois River/Baron Fork Creek Cleanup.
Sponsored by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation and the Oklahoma Scenic Rivers Commission, the cleanup was part of the National River Cleanup Week celebration. The purpose of the event was to remove trash from the streams and to promote awareness for Oklahoma's extraordinary stream resources, said Paul Balkenbush, streams biologist for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
"Although we sometimes take clean water for granted, our streams are some of Oklahoma's most precious resources," Balkenbush said. "With events like this, we hope to promote a sense of stewardship for our streams and give people a greater sense of involvement in their management. This is also an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the impact that humans have on streams and to show that we can make a difference."
In one day, volunteers collected more than two tons of trash, enough to fill 232 bags. In addition, volunteers also removed an additional ton of debris in the form of tires, drums, car parts and other items.
Many area merchants contributed to the event, Balkenbush said, donating food, drinks, prizes and other incentives. Outfitters provided canoes to the volunteers free of charge. Ft. Howard Paper Co. provided a canoe that was given away in a drawing. Reasor's Grocery and Food-4-Less also provided food for the volunteers.
Because these streams are so popular, especially in the summer, Balkenbush said it doesn't take long for them to show obvious signs of abuse.
"Careless and inconsiderate visitors can deposit an awful lot of trash in a stream in a very short period of time," Balkenbush said. "Not only is it unsightly, but it also impacts the streams' fish and wildlife resources. Our streams are natural treasures, and we hope that public treats them with the respect they deserve."
When renting a canoe, outfitters always provide a trash sack for cans, bottles, wrappers and other items. If you use your own canoe, be sure to include a trash bag as part of your required equipment. Pack out discarded fishing line and plastic lures. Don't throw them overboard, as birds often strangle on fishing line and plastic six-pack holders when they try to use them as nesting material.
For more information on the Department's Streams Program, contact Paul Balkenbush at 918/297-0152.
Fishing thrives in urban Oklahoma
Although fishing is generally considered a rural pastime, recent surveys show that many of Oklahoma's urban residents participate in the sport.
The sustained popularity of fishing among urban residents in the state's large, medium and small metropolitan communities underscores the need for improved access to urban fishing waters, said Kim Erickson, chief of fisheries for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. It also demonstrates the value of the Department's Aquatic Resources Education Program. This highly successful program teaches urban youths how to fish, including knot tying, fish identification and basic angling skills. It also instills awareness about the state's aquatic resources among young people.
"Needless to say, many of the youngsters who attend an Aquatic Education clinic continue to enjoy fishing when they grow older," Erickson said. "Therefore, it's not surprising that urban residents constitute a significant percentage of Oklahoma's angling public.
"The importance of fishing among urban residents is evident in the popularity of urban fishing facilities in cities like Tulsa, Oklahoma City and their surrounding communities," he added. "That's also a major reason why these communities constitute the highest percentage of subscribers for all of the most popular fishing magazines."
In 1997, according to data compiled by the Department's license section, the Department issued more than 300,000 annual fishing licenses. Nearly 33 percent (about 100,000) were purchased by anglers living in Oklahoma City, Moore, Norman, Bethany, Yukon, Midwest City, Edmond, Spencer, and Del City; Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Jenks, Glenpool, Sand Springs, Sapulpa and Bixby.
That does not account for urban anglers who purchased combination hunting and fishing licenses or senior citizen licenses, nor does it reflect those who hold lifetime fishing licenses or lifetime combination licenses. If you include anglers who purchased those types of licenses, the number swells to about 150,000.
Also in 1996, the National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation, conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, showed that 56 percent of all Oklahoma resident anglers lived in an urban area as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau. That would include residents of communities like Enid, Broken Bow, Weatherford, Miami, etc.
In 1999, Oklahoma State University conducted a random telephone survey of Oklahoma households. This survey used the same definition for "metro" as the Department's license sample, and it showed that 41 percent of the metropolitan respondents had fished in Oklahoma during the previous 12 months. Of those that had not fished, 31 percent expressed strong or moderate interest in fishing.
According to the numbers, fishing is a strong activity in Oklahoma's cities and towns, and the Department is committed to serving the anglers in those communities.
Don't bother deer fawns
With the spring fawning season nearly over, outdoor enthusiasts may have noticed more young deer than usual.
If you see a fawn without its mother, don't worry. The parent is nearby. She's just waiting for you to leave so she can move her fawn off to safety.
In Oklahoma, most fawns are born in May and June, and start becoming visible in mid to late June. Unfortunately, some well-meaning wildlife enthusiasts often see fawns alone in the open and mistake them for being abandoned. Attempting to "save" the fawn, they actually compromise the fawn's ability to survive in the wild by separating it from its mother, said Mike Shaw, wildlife research supervisor for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
"Don't be tempted to rescue a newborn fawn because you think it's abandoned," Shaw said. "Interfering with wildlife in such a matter creates a multitude of problems which could ultimately affect the welfare of the animal. Take photographs, if you wish, but don't linger too long, and do not touch or attempt to touch the animal."
Most whitetail deer fawns are born in a relatively short time frame as part of a phenomenon called, "predator swamping." By birthing most of their fawns in a narrow time window, whitetail deer ensure their overall survival by "swamping" the woods with more fawns than predators could possibly consume. Predators will eliminate some deer, of course, but the overwhelming majority will survive until they are able to fend for themselves.
When deer herds are out of balance, the rut and fawning periods often last longer than they do in well-balanced herds. If there aren't enough bucks to breed all the does during their first estrous cycle, the does will cycle again about a month later. Consequently, the fawns conceived during the second cycle will be born a month later than normal. With a longer fawning season, coyotes and other large predators can consumer a greater percentage of the annual supply of newborn fawns.
"By educating hunters about the importance of herd health and balance, we hope to encourage them to harvest does and achieve better reproduction," Shaw said, "both in terms of breeding and fawning."
While coyotes do not kill a significant number of adult deer, they will consume fawns whenever possible. This is especially true during the first few weeks of a fawn's life when it is unable to travel with its mother.
So, if you see a fawn that appears to be alone, leave it alone. Nature is always an animal's best defense.
Department receives deer video
To help landowners manage deer herds on private land, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation recently received 90 copies of a specialized deer management video.
The video, titled, Let Them Go So They Can Grow, will be available to Department wildlife biologists for use during presentations to sportsman's clubs and other groups, said Alan Peoples, the Department's Chief of Wildlife. It explains how harvesting does and sparing young bucks can help landowners balance deer herds and improve the size of individual bucks.
"The information in the video can be useful to landowners who have overpopulations of female deer and who are interested in improving the quality of their buck herd," Peoples said. "Obviously, every landowner may have a different situation in regard to deer, but this video can provide some useful tips for landowners and hunt lease members."
The videos were a cooperative gift from the Oklahoma Station of the Safari Club International and the Quality Deer Management Association. For more information on the QDMA, call 1-800-209-DEER (3337) or go online to www.qdma.com.

Bom ambiente, com pessoal que sabe e gosta do que faz. A recomendar.
Portugal Continental
GREAT EXPERIENCE. a complete different view on the coast from the sea. it is great that this trip can be booked for only 2 persons. a 2 HOUR TRIP (EARLY IN THE MORNING OR EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON) IS PERFECT TO DISCOVER THE VERY NICE COASTLINE AND TO PLAN OTHER ACTIVITIES ON THE SAME DAY. explanations by skipper were appreciated. really enjoyed it!!!
We went fishing two times with Pedro and had a great experience! Even in february with unstable weather and rough seas, Pedro and Patricia did everything to find the best time to go out and get us to fish. After the first trip with plenty of catch (amberjack, barracuda, bluefish, macrel, grouper, bream...) we were hooked. The second time was a bit harder, but we still caught a lot and had a great day out.
Pedro is a very nice guy, speaks good english and is a competent captain and fishing guide. The tackle and the boat are in good shape and the price is absolutely fair.
We will definitely be back and go out with Pedro as often as possible!!!
See you next winter!
Foi mais do que esperávamos!!! O Pedro e a Patrícia foram 5* sempre muito dedicados, não há mesmo nada que pensamos poderem melhorar...
Esta experiência foi memorável, além de uma nova emoção, encontramos golfinhos durante a "espera", no final o Pedro preparou os nossos peixes para um almoço excepcional, mais fresco impossível!
Recomendamos vivamente e pretendemos voltar de certo!
Portugal e ilhas
Great service. Many thanks to Pedro who showed the most beautiful places!
What an amazing trip!!! Thank you so much for putting us on all of those fish we had an amazing time. The scenery and stories were amazing as well. As two guys from South Louisiana, we were super excited to fish the Azores as it is totally different from what we are used to and these guys did not disappoint. We will definitely be back again and are counting the days until our next chance to go fishing with y'all!

We had a great half-day with Pedro. The weather was not the most propitious for fishing - north easterly and overcast - but we still caught bicuda and even had a take on the jelly-eel Pedro leant me to use on my fly rod! We also enjoyed seeing the spectacular scenery from the water, and watching the sheerwaters. A great morning and we will be back. Sara and Anny

Good day on the water with Pedro and mates. Rough seas did not permit us to fish the desired spot, but closer to shore we caught plenty of barracudas and two nice bluefish. Good, clean boat and friendly staff.
MELHOR não existe uma questão de experimentar a embarcação, o nosso mar costa norte de certeza que vão adorar e para repetir boa viagem e excelente pesca com a North Shore Sea Tours

Goeie schipper die het polyester speedbootje behendig langs de kust en de grotten invaart. Onze middagtocht was vanwege het weer 2 maal uitgesteld, maar de organisatie nam goed contact op per mail en telefoon.
Helaas geen dolfijnen of walvissen kunnen zien, wel een lekker stukje naar een afgelegen strandje kunnen zwemmen.
Gran día de pesca con Pedro lleno de capturas. Sin duda si tengo tiempo repetire;)
Thanks for this great fishing trip with my son and I, Pedro is doing a great job and we will come back asap to fish again !
oved our 1/2 day of fishing. Pedro was wonderful. my husband and I caught so many fish and then had a delicious lunch of the freshest fish ever! (note, my husband is a fly fisherman, neither of us had done deep sea fishing before--Pedro made it so easy)
TIP: 1) make sure you are checking email, or calling to confirm your booking as weather (and seas) can change in the azores, and they may need to reschedule. 2) we chose to take 2 fish to a restaurant in furnas (Banhos Ferreos). It would have been better to take to a local, Maia place, as most Furnas restaurants were a bit too toursity for such a request. 3) if you know you get "sea sick" like I do, there is a pharmacy in town. picked up some dramamine to pre-medicate. 4) enjoy a walk along the ocean to the old "laundry washing" spot before or after your fishing to get even more of a taste of Maia.

nous avons passé tout un APRÈS midi avec Pedro pour visiter la cote nord et faire du snorkeling et de la chasse sous marine tout simplement GÉNIAL...
pedro nous a EMMENÉ dans des endroits superbes, et a été superbe avec nos enfants, mille fois merci, guillaume et AURÉLIE.
just great with lovely people in a setting of réve thank you.
Fantástico dia de pesca da mão de Pedro, temos ao máximo, 100 % recomendado! Muito obrigado!
Amazing! Pedro knows his fish. For people who just want to be out on the water, taking in the coast line while catching and learning from someone who is born and raised in Sao Miguel this trip is perfect. My wife and I did this on the last day of our honeymoon and we could not have asked for a better experience. We went in the afternoon and so did not catch too many fish but rather soaked in the Azores, the calm, the quiet, the flurry of a bite on the line. So peaceful! It felt like a casual days fishing trip with friends. We did not chase after trophy/sport fish, rather fishing for barracuda, pig (Trigger) fish and Bluefish, fish that you could find in a local restaurant. You can keep and cook the fish you catch or North Shore Sea Tours will take them. Will definitely come back and fish in the morning, but can not say enough good things about our experience. North Shore Sea Tours is a must when visiting Sao Miguel!

For us, this was a spectacular fishing trip along the rugged coastline. Pedro and his assistant were of great help with the fishing rods and preparing everything for a perfect experience. Highly recommended.
The best... I trust in this captain. O melhor da ilha, recomendo a vezes que for necessário...

Plenty of fish!! *****
Had an holiday with 3 days fishing with North Shore Sea Tours, Pedro knows plenty of fishing spots on the north coast. He put us on catching fish very quick. His knowledge about fishing was super and he loves the game as much as we do. Patricia was also very responsive with the emails and organized everything very well. I will definitely come back!
Reino Unido
It was a really great experience big thanks to Pedro :-)
We got some Tuna, Baracuda and many more!
The Price is awesome too, definitely a must when you are on the north shore
Booking the trip was easy online, and Pedro confirmed the booking by e-mail. He and his colleague were very friendly and we set off promptly at about 7:15am. The boat was quite small but perfectly adequate for the three of us (plus Pedro and his colleague). We started off jigging but had no luck for the first two hours, so then we switched to bottom fishing and started to catch a couple of small groupers. Shortly after this we came across a shoal of mackerel and switched to fishing about 10-15m below the surface and this was successful. Towards the end of the four hours, we tried a bit of trawling and my son caught a couple of small fish. Pedro had sonar equipment to help him determine depth and fish; the equipment was very good; and we tried different methods of getting results. Thanks for the trip!

One of my most favourit fishing - days.
I will come again!
Foi um passeio espetacular com boa companhia e muito animada. Recomendo é um momento só nosso para escapar ao stress do dia a dia. Obrigada North Shore Sea Tours e tripulantes.

Sarah and I had a great time on our trip. Pedro was wonderful out on the water. We hooked into some beautiful fish. The boat control and fishing knowledge was abosolutely terrific. I begged my wife to allow me to book an additional day, but she said we had to see the other sites...I think she hates fun. If we are ever back in the Azores, I will be contacting you both! Thanks for everything! Please find the fish that I broke off!!!

We spent an excellent afternoon with a good skipper along the wonderful cliff of NorthShore.
Tivemos uma manha de Pesca costeira e gostamos bastante e apanhamos bastante peixe.

Agradecidísimo a pedro y ayudantes, patron de pesca serio y
experimentado, conocedor como nadie de los fondos marinos de la zona,
costumbres y querencias del variado pescado grande que lo habita; Tuve el
honor de compartir con él 2 jornadas de pesca muy variadas (de
fondo/currican y pescasub) con resultados y capturas extraordinarias (tanto
de cantidad como de talla) . Con su embarcacion y material de pesca de
primera calidad (cañas, carretes y señuelos y cebos) y
sus sabios consejos y tecnicas de pesca (algunas para mí novedosas) le
debo una de mis mejores jornadas de pesca de fondo de mi vida y sin duda,
la mejor jornada de pescasub que haga nunca (excepto que vuelva). Opino
que: "En estos tiempos MODERNOS donde abundan los engaños y timos a
los pescadores deportivos por todo el mundo, northsoreseatours es una
empresa de pesca de garantía al 100% recomendable y con optimos
resultados". Con ellos aprenderas a pescar. Mil Gracias.
Super expérience ! Avec une équipe de professionnels & du matériel de qualité. Nous recommandons vivement !

The multidisciplinary team of specialists at Atrium Medical Center's Advanced Primary Stroke Center provides care from the emergency department through treatment and rehabilitation.
Atrium Medical Center is certified as an Advanced Primary Stroke Center by The Joint Commission, the nation's foremost accrediting body for hospitals. This designation recognizes our efforts to foster better outcomes for stroke care.
Atrium Medical Center reminds you that stroke is a medical emergency. Know these stroke symptoms and warning signs and teach them to others. Every second counts:
An easy way to remember what to look for is to think and BE FAST.
Do not drive yourself or someone else who is having stroke-like symptoms. If you experience one or more of these signs, don't delay! Immediately call 91-. Learn more about Stroke Warning Signs.
During a stroke, time is brain. At Premier Health our specialized team of stroke specialists is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to immediately treat stroke using our TeleStroke Network. Linking Atrium Medical Center and other Premier Health and regional emergency departments, the network treats patients who are exhibiting signs of a stroke.
Without losing critical time, a stroke patient arriving at these emergency departments can be examined via a computer linked to a Premier Health on-call stroke specialist any time of the day or night. The specialist can "see" the patient, ask questions and view CT scans - all in real-time - to help assess the patient's condition and help the ED physician determine if the patient is a candidate for acute stroke therapy. Atrium Medical Center has been certified as a Primary Stroke Center by The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, Atrium Medical Center is recognized as a leader in advanced stroke care.
TeleStroke technology dramatically reduces the critical window for stroke assessment and action. Neurologists have only a short time after stroke signs begin to treat a stroke patient in order for clot-dissolving medication to be effective. Neurologists must assess and treat a stroke patient within three to four-and-a half hours of the beginning signs of a stroke for clot dissolving medication to be effective. Getting treatment within this time-frame quickly is also important to minimize damage to the brain. With Premier Health's coordinated stroke care, treatment at Atrium Medical Center — and all stroke network locations — follows the consistent, rigorous standards required of the Comprehensive Stroke Center at Miami Valley Hospital.
TeleStroke technology dramatically reduces the critical window for stroke assessment and action. Neurologists must assess and treat a stroke patient within three to four-and-a half hours of the beginning signs of a stroke for clot dissolving medication to be effective. Getting treatment within this timeframe is also important to minimize damage to the brain.

Determining the type of stroke is the first step in providing specialized treatment. Atrium Medical Center stroke physicians identify whether the stroke is caused by a blood clot or by bleeding in the brain. Before starting treatment, our physicians may use the following to thoroughly evaluate your condition:
Further tests may be done to determine the location of the clot or bleeding and to assess the amount of brain damage.
Treatment for stoke varies based on the type of stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) that occurs. Learn more about the various treatments for stroke.
If the stroke or brain bleeding caused damage to the brain, Atrium Medical Center patients benefit from the experience of Atrium's Rehabilitation Center. Their therapists can help to restore speech, gain strength and relearn skills of daily living. Premier Health's home health agency, Fidelity Health Care, also has special experience in helping stroke patients recover at home. Learn more about Atrium's Rehabilitation Center

Cherimoya: Nature's Ice Cream
Cherimoya: Nature's Ice Cream
The other day I was at the grocery store and saw what looked like a cartoon version of an artichoke. It was unbelievably cute and reminded me of something one of my favorite artists (S. Britt) might draw. So naturally, I had to pick it up and take it home with me. To learn about this cute cherimoya, and to get a great low-fat totally guilt-free dessert recipe, read more
The label on the fruit said cherimoya, and I was baffled by the fact that I'd never heard of it before (I grew up being exposed to all kinds of interesting fruit). So before I could eat it, I had to learn more about it. Turns out the cherimoya is native to Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, and that the name means "cold seeds," since the seeds will germinate in higher altitude.
Once I knew more, I got down to business and cut the fruit in half. The skin, was easy to slice through, much like an avocado skin, and the flesh was smooth and creamy (in texture and color), with large black seeds. My mom always jokes that fruit is "like ice cream," but really this fruit was like ice cream, the consistency is amazing. I used a spoon to scoop out the flesh (sort of like an avocado), and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. If I had to compare it to another fruit I'd say it was like papaya crossed with banana and maybe a hint of overripe pear.
I ate half of it plain and then decided to make a simple treat out of the other half. It was such a perfect dessert, I was giddy over how simple and guilt-free it was.
Cherimoya Shake
1 1/2 cups milk (I used 1%)
freshly grated nutmeg
Blend cherimoya flesh and milk together in blender until evenly mixed.
Pour into tall glass.
Sprinkle with grated nutmeg.
Add less or more milk to gain desired consistency.
It sounds ridiculously simple, but it was honestly just like a milkshake, only without the guilt!

Corkeys Restaurant burned down before I ever got to know it. According to older members of my family, Corkeys had mythical proportions and was a great place to go! Napoleon Bova, whose name is mentioned throughout the menu was Napoleon Beauvais. He Anglicized his name for ease. He was the brother of my great grandmother, Celena Beauvais who was born in St. Cesaire and died in Cohoes, New York. The address on the menu states 16-18 Clifton St., Cohoes
but Clifton Street was/is really in Northside, Waterford, New York.
Below is the approximate location where Corkeys operated
and the relationship to Northside and Cohoes
The menu Cover...
The back page of Corkeys menu
An Historic Bar
"This famous bar was founded in 1882 by Napoleon Bova, father of the present owner and operator, Henry. During the two generations that Corkey's has operated, it has lent itself to creating a good bit of history. Bobby Leach started from this old bar when he made his famous trip over the Cohoes Falls. Buffalo Bill was a close friend of Napoleon Bova as was Buffalo Bill's nephew, Paul and were always present on their visits East. The names of great men that were regular customers are legion. The stories that are told about these people read like history. In those days, Bova's was famous for food, beverages, and service - and is today as is evidenced by the ever growing clientele from all over the Capital District."
On the Old Champlain Canal
"This famous bar is situated only about two hundred yards from the old Champlain Canal and on the side of the old Mohawk Trail. It was the crossroads of east and west travel at the turn of the century. In the Old Days the Bova Tavern was a regular over-night layover for travelers for, as you know, travel was leisurely. And the very atmosphere was cosmopolitan.... Big, brawny, canal boatmen rubbing shoulders with ladies and gentlemen from the highest strata of society and nobility from Europe. Such was Bova's. Today you will find it modern to the nth degree....But the traditional welcome, quality of foods and beverages and service are in keeping with the tradition that has made it famous for over 65 years."
