Happy Memorial sportsmen and women and all you conservationists across NY and the fruited plain! Your humble host Rich Davenport brings to you on this special day updates on Sturgeon Point and the continuing fiasco in the Town of Evans. The dredging has begun and the marina will be open soon, but now questions as to whether the boat slips and the gas dock will be operational this year mark the next battle the town residents have to fight, which shouldn't be, but nonetheless is their lot. Some semblance of normalcy as covid covid covid winds down seems to be returning with the announcement that Teach Me To Fish family fishing clinics are returning, as well as the Free Family Fishing Days resuming down at Broderick Park. Updates to the silly season in Albany as the session for 2021 winds down. The NYSCC has released their memorandum of support for S.6314/ A.7756, the moratorium on wind turbine development offshore in NY freshwater. It is up to the people to push the legislature to enact this important legislation for the future of our freshwater in NYS. A recent bill introduced als shows how the legislature completely ignores the North Americam Wildlife Conservation Model, as some seek to allow individual counties to opt out of the upcoming holiday deer hunt set for its inaugural season this year (12/26-1/1). NYSERDA continues its embarrassing efforts to demonstrate their energy illiteracy via their Great Lakes Wind Feasibility theater masquerading as a study. Next session will take public comments that are in context of the study, and will be held on June 9 via zoom from 6:00PM-8:00PM. Residents in the town of Cambria are holding a meeting June 2 at 6:30PM at Cambira Firehall concerning solar arrays, and the Citizens Against Wind Turbines in Lake Erie are organizing a boat parade in defense of Lake Erie. More on that as plans become clear.In the final segment, Rich Davenport shares some good news across the fishing world, and closes this episode with a special Memorial Day message to all.
