“We’re fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance.”
- Japanese Proverb
It’s diffi cult to pinpoint the beginning of dance. However, historians report that dance or moving rhythmically has been part of most cultures for
thousands of years in their rituals, ceremonies and celebrations. From ballet to hip-hop, these days the sky’s the limit for dance. Like anything else, danc-ing is not without controversy. Remember the uproar Elvis Presley started over his gyrating infl uence over teens? And California passed a law in 1925 forbid-ding any wiggling while dancing. Seattle continues to have a teen dance ordinance on the books designed to regulate public dancing. Nevertheless, the dance lives on. In fact, it seems like ‘all we wanna do is dance.’

DO YOU CHA CHA?Competitive dancing appears to be a 20th century phenomenon that started in Europe and quickly took hold in the U.S. Ballroom dancing is familiar to most of us, thanks to reality TV shows such as “Dancing With The Stars.” Dedicated dancers spend enor-mous amounts of time training for anything from a waltz to a tango, samba, quickstep, paso doble, foxtrot, rumba, mambo; and the list goes on. If not up to snuff, they suf-fer the dreaded elimination.
STAR QUALITYABC’s “Dancing With The Stars” is not the fi rst of its kind. It’s a takeoff from the U.K.’s “Come Dancing” from the 1980’s. They brought the show back in the 2000’s, calling it “Strictly Come Dancing,” which featured celebrities trained by profession-al dancers. We picked it up in the U.S. in 2005. The show concept is licensed to 35 countries around the world who are capi-talizing on the popularity of the format. Argentina’s version is getting the most press for it’s less than skimpy costuming. If nothing else, shows like DWTS have brought a new appreciation for the exten-sive skill and physical stamina required to dance like a pro.
DON’T TELL ANYONE……that dancing is good for you – it’s good for the soul and the body. Dancing is a
popular form of exercise from Jazzercise to Zumba, the latest craze. Besides the lure of the challenge and notoriety gained be-ing on “Dancing With The Stars,” there’s the highly publicized weight loss success stories, such as Kirstie Alley, Marie Os-mond, Kelly Osbourne and Kyle Massey. When interviewed by the press, some stars even admit to weight loss as a major goal for participating in the show. Dance as ex-ercise seems like a no-brainer - would you rather run on a treadmill or sweat to some oldies?
“If you can walk, we teach you how to dance”
That was the slogan for Arthur Murray Dance Studios. Still going strong, the fran-chise, which opened in 1938, continues to have over 200 dance studios in operation. Arthur Murray (1895-1991) was born Mo-ses Teichmann in Austria-Hungary. He and his parents moved to the United States in 1897. He had the dance bug early on and by the age of 17 he was teaching dance by night; he was a draftsman by day.
Teichmann changed his name to Arthur Murray due to anti-German sentiment dur-ing World War I. In 1919, Murray attended Georgia Tech where he studied business administration. True to his passion, he taught ballroom dancing at the same time in Atlanta.
The best advice he received was from Wil-liam Jennings Bryan (politician and Sec-retary of State under Woodrow Wilson), who said to Murray one night while he was teaching dance at the Georgian Terrace Ho-tel: “You know, I have a fi ne idea on how you can collect your money. Just teach ‘em with the left foot and don’t tell ‘em what to do with the right foot until they pay up!”
Murray took it to heart and started sell-
ing footprint diagrams for learning dance through the mail. Sounds a little ridicu-lous, but he sold over 500,000 of these courses. He then opened a dance studio with his new wife and dance partner, Kath-ryn Kohnfelder. He taught and brought the Lambeth Walk and The Big Apple dances into ‘dance craze’ status. The rest really is history. He and Kathryn even hosted the TV show, “The Arthur Murray Party” for 10 years from 1950 to 1960. They both re-tired in 1964, but the studios live on.
FRED AND GINGERThe icons of the dance movie were Fred Astaire (1899-1987) and Ginger Rogers (1911-1995). The dancing duo made 10 movies together:
Flying Down to Rio (1933)• The Gay Divorcee (1934)• Roberta (1935)• Top Hat (1935)• Follow the Fleet (1936)• Swing Time (1936)• Shall We Dance (1937)• Carefree (1938)• The Story of Vernon and Irene • Castle (1939)The Barleys of Broadway (1949)•
Rogers was not Astaire’s only dancer part-ner, but she may be the most famous be-cause of how she complemented Astaire’s style. Some say she was not the best dance partner he ever had, but she was a great actress who made it look as if he was the most wonderful dancer in the world, and who wouldn’t want to dance with him? Astaire was a perfectionist and his fi lms worked. It was said that he didn’t have a great deal of sex appeal but his dancing was mesmerizing.

THE DANCE IS THE STORYThere’s something about a dance movie – it never seems to go out of style. Not only does the public enjoy new releases, but dancing fools love the oldies as well. Here are some popular ones that can still be rented.
“Saturday Night Fever,” a 1977 coming-of-age dance fl ick starring John Travolta is an all-time favorite and a household name whether you like disco music or not.
“Flashdance” (1983) stars Jennifer Beals as an aspiring ballerina holding down jobs as a welder and exotic dancer. Predictably, she gets the life-altering tryout.
“Dirty Dancing” is the quintessential girl meets boy from the wrong side of the tracks and they fall madly in love type of story … sprinkled in with a dance contest. Released in 1987, no other dance movie has managed to push this one off the box offi ce charts in years since.
“Footloose” was popular enough for a 2011 remake. The original release in 1984 starred Kevin Bacon as the dance-loving rebel from Chicago who winds up in a Midwestern town after his mother dies. Un-fortunately, the town has banned not only rock music but dancing. Bacon eventually persuades the powers that be, with the help of many townspeople, to bring the dance back. Kenny Wormald brings the bad boy character back in the 2011 version when he falls in love with minister Dennis Quaid’s daughter played by Julianne Hough (a fa-vorite “Dancing With The Stars” TV show pro dancer).
For serious dance groupies, there’s “Mad Hot Ballroom,” a 2005 documentary about middle school students from three New York City schools who compete in a dance competition. They come from all walks of life and manage to work together to learn ballroom dancing and compete. Makes you wonder if kids can do this, why can’t adults?

A person can walk into a class-room and fi nd many stu-dents have been diagnosed
as ADD/ADHD and many are on medication for that diagnoses. When did this label become so pop-ular? Did women, all of the sudden, begin having babies that had brain diffi culties? Is our food supply con-tributing to this label? Is it simply a moneymaker for the pharmaecueti-cal industry?
What if the true number of ADD/ADHD individuals is much lower than the currently diagnosed num-bers? What if one discovered that the checklist that is, many times, used to determine ADD/ADHD is almost identicle to the Gifted and Talented checklist that was utilized years ago?
Some families have already sought out alternatives, such as a change in diet, limited television, and more family interaction. These are won-derful changes to make in a child’s life, who is struggling in school.
Also, one area to look for is bore-dom. If a child is bored and under stimulated, he or she will not pay attention, stay focused, or want to listen to the teacher. However, many times, the teacher has 29 other chil-

dren and cannot or will not modify or differentiate material to meet the needs of the child.
If the child can play a video game or read a self-chosen book, without getting overly distracted, then he or she does not have ADD/ADHD. The label itself indicates the inabil-ity to focus. If a child can focus on a self-chosen task, then the ability is there. The child is simply using the ability selectively.
However, there are cases where a child truly has ADD/ADHD. This usually occurs while the child is still in the womb. If the mother had a signifi cant trauma, took medica-tions/drugs, or was/is sensitive to vaccines, this can cause true ADD/ADHD. It is not guaranteed to cause it, but can cause it. If this is the case, a treatment titled Beyond Love can benefi t.
This treatment is titled Beyond Love because it takes more than love to help heal an ailment, in this spe-cifi cally, ADD/ADHD. This treat-ment is for those who are TRULY ADD/HD. If one has been INCOR-RECTLY DIAGNOSED as ADD/HD, this treatment will not work. This can assist those who are older adults and are losing their memory. Adult ADD symptoms are: forget-fulness, diffi culty in reading, tuning out a lot.

A COUPLE OF QUICK, HONEST WORDS ABOUT
BOWLINGBy Nicholas James Yanez
I’m going to be honest with all of you. I have no idea where I’m going with this article. Now, that doesn’t mean
it’s not sincere, so please don’t take it that way. You see, I sit here at my lap-top every week and write about a differ-ent event or special that Pinz runs every week/month. This is my job; or at least an aspect of it. I usually try to fi nd some-thing really strange and random to write about as an introduction, it’s what pulls all you readers in. Then I loosely tie the random introduction to the promotion I am plugging. This week is particularly special. It’s special because I am not do-ing that. I’m just being honest with you. Mostly, I am doing this because I forgot to write my article, and now have to cre-ate a small series of paragraphs in a very, very short amount of time. I’m also do-ing this to change it up a little, shake the jug, change the tide, color the sketch, or any other cheap metaphor you can think of.
This week’s plug is Pinz Summer Leagues. And seriously people, it’s a big deal. Bowling Leagues are those classic situations, where you think it might be lame or nerdy to do, but then you do it, and realize that everyone who has done before you are actually the cool kids – this is your chance to get on the inside. No longer will you be left out in blind ig-norance. It’s a chance to stay in shape this summer, for that all important beach/lake vacation. It’s a chance to meet some new people in this small town; making new friends and bowling rivals. It’s a chance to let go, get out of the heat, and relieve some stress with a little weekly fun. Pinz Summer League sign-ups are happening right now! They have League options for all types including families, friends, men, women, and estranged roommates. You can call, or inquire in person. They start this June, so you have to get a quick jump on things. I can no longer think of anything else… and this really needs to go to print. So in the words of a very fa-mous fi ctional character, that’s all I have to say about that.
To get more information on summer leagues at Pinz, call us at (719) 487-7469 and sign up today!

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: In October of last year, my husband, age 63, died of a brain hemorrhage (stroke). He was a youthful, health-conscious man, now sorely missed by his wife, family and friends. This tragedy was due to undi-agnosed high blood pressure, since he, like many men, refused to visit the doc-tor. Please encourage people, especially 55 and older, to have a checkup so they don’t suffer a similar fate. -- R.A.
ANSWER: My sincerest condolences to you and your family. I hope many who read your letter will take your ad-vice.
I’ve written about ischemic stroke, the kind that comes from a plugged brain artery. It accounts for most strokes. The letter-writer’s husband suffered a hem-orrhagic stroke, one that comes from bleeding from a brain artery.
Hemorrhagic strokes have an abrupt onset. A person can be fi ne one minute, and the next there’s a profound change. He or she can’t move an arm or a leg, can’t talk or has a sudden, severe head-ache. Shortly the person becomes unre-sponsive. For 50 percent of people with a hemorrhagic stroke, death is the fi nal step, and it often comes quickly.
Differentiating a stroke caused by bleed-ing from one caused by artery plugging is not something for an untrained person to attempt. Confronted by someone who has the signs of a stroke, an untrained person should call for immediate help.
As Mrs. R.A. points out, high blood
pressure is one of the most com-mon medical conditions respon-sible for a hemorrhagic stroke. Prevention of these lethal strokes depends on knowing what your blood pressure is. Keeping blood pressure in the normal range is the best way to prevent them. The trouble with high blood pressure is that it seldom produces any signs until it’s too late.
The booklet on stroke presents the different kinds, their treat-ment and their prevention. Read-ers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 902W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s print-
ed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.
***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am an 82-year-old man with a history of two cancers, prostate and bladder, two knee replacements and lots of osteoarthritis. In spite of all that, I’m in good shape. I work out every day, I tour by bicycle 20 to 25 miles in a day, and I’ve lots of energy.
About four months ago, the strangest thing started happening to me. Every time I eat, my nose starts to run. It’s not a real problem, but it mystifi es me. Why does it happen? -- D.M.
ANSWER: It is strange, and it has a name -- gustatory rhinitis, a classy way of saying “runny nose when you eat.” Hot and spicy foods often provoke the reaction. Some consider it a refl ex that has no useful purpose. If you’re going out to eat and don’t want to be embar-rassed, taking an antihistamine about an hour before the meal might work. The nasal spray Astelin has a good reputa-tion for stopping the drip. Don’t use these every day. Save them for a special occasion.
***Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will in-corporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or re-quest an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

WERE YOU ALIVE IN 1940?
When the eagerly awaited 1940 Census results came out online recently, mil-
lions of genealogy hunters fl ooded the website within the fi rst few hours. Some of those, it’s feared, were scam-mers out to extract information they’ll use on seniors.
There are 20 million seniors who were alive when the 1940 Census was done. The questions asked included current street address, occupation, level of ed-ucation, whether the person had a So-cial Security card and more.
One of the concerns now is that if someone is out to steal your identity, they could use the Census information to create a scam. For example, a scam-mer could determine where you likely went to high school, then call you and claim to have been a classmate. Scam-
mers could even pretend to be some-one else who lived on your street at that time. After a short reminiscence, you might be conned into revealing infor-mation about your current life.
That sounds like a lot of work for crooks who want a more immediate re-turn for their efforts. It’s not likely to happen.
Still, it makes sense to consider the pos-sibilities. If you get a call or email out of the blue from someone who alleges to be a former classmate or childhood friend, don’t give out any information without verifying who it really is. Even then, beware.
The usual cautions always apply: Leave your Social Security card at home. Shred any documents that have your name or account numbers on them be-fore putting them in the trash. When you pay with a credit card, keep your eyes on the card to make sure a num-ber “skimmer” isn’t used. Don’t leave outgoing mail in the box at home. And don’t give any information over the phone to someone who calls without verifying who it is.
Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible. Write to her in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send e-mail to [email protected].

• On May 10, 1869, the Union Pacifi c and Central Pacifi c railroads meet up in Promontory, Utah, making transcontinen-tal railroad travel possible for the fi rst time in U.S. history. Journeys that had taken months by wagon train or weeks by boat now took only days.
• On May 7, 1915, the British ocean liner Lusitania is torpedoed without warning by a German submarine off the coast of Ire-land, 1,198 people drowned.

• On May 12, 1925, a Philadelphia radio station broadcasts the fi rst all-star radio program featuring fi lm actors and actress-es. Sound fi lms had not yet debuted, and the broadcast marked the fi rst time that most listeners had heard the voices of fi lm stars like Lillian Gish and Marion Davies.
• On May 8, 1933, the fi rst police radio

Farmers markets and grocery stores are bursting with strawberries. Strawberries are always a nutri-
tious choice and a wonderful treat. The strawberry got its name from the com-mon practice of growing berries under straw to protect them from winter cold and late spring frosts. A member of the rose family, the strawberry sometimes gives off a rose-like aroma. Many spec-ulate about how the luscious fruit was discovered. It is known that the straw-berry goes as far back as the Romans and perhaps even the Greeks.
Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, an antioxidant that may re-duce the risk of heart disease and some types of cancer. It helps protect the skin from bruising, helps heal cuts and keeps gums healthy. One cup of strawberries provides 3 grams of fi ber and only 46 calories. Strawberries also have potas-sium, which can help maintain a healthy blood pressure.
When picking or buying packages of strawberries, look for ripe, shiny and brilliantly colored berries without any soft or brown patches. Never buy straw-berries that are green or hard, or that look dry, dull or wrinkled. When buy-ing berries packed in a basket, check the bottom to see if there is a juice stain. This means that the strawberries at the bottom are crushed.
Always dispose of any berries that have signs of mildew or are rotten, as they’ll contaminate the rest. Refriger-ating strawberries ruins the fl avor, and the strawberry aroma is easily picked up
by other foods in the refrigerator. Store the berries in a cool place. Strawberries should be lightly rinsed, not washed be-fore serving, and eaten as soon as pos-sible. This Strawberry and Spinach Salad with blue cheese crumbles and a balsamic-based dressing is a “berry” good way to serve strawberries.
STRAWBERRY AND SPINACH SALAD
1 pound baby spinach leaves, triple washed 2 cups strawberries, leaves and stems removed and sliced1/2 small purple onion, sliced thinly1/2 cup sliced almonds 2 ounces crumbled blue cheese
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients to-gether.
Dressing:1/2 cup stevia or honey1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 1/2 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper1/2 cup olive oil
In a saucepan, heat the stevia or honey, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and olive oil over medium heat until the stevia or honey dissolves. Remove mixture from heat. When dress-ing is cool, toss with the salad mixture until well-combined. Serves 4.

“The Vow” (PG-13) -- After a car accident takes away his wife’s memory of the past fi ve years, Leo (Channing Tatum) is deter-mined to make Paige (Rachel McAdams) fall in love with him again. This is not another adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel, but you could have fooled me by the way the posters, previews and plot seem fa-miliar. However, “The Vow” still has some-thing to offer for the lover of sappy rom-
coms and seeker of movies for date night.Paige’s struggle is mostly about fi nding a life that makes sense to her -- a lot has changed for her in the fi ve years that she doesn’t remember. Leo’s struggle is bring-ing her back to the person it took her years to grow into. Tatum has the charm and the abs to be a romantic-movie star, but he can’t quite carry the dramatic weight of the story.“Underworld: Awakening” (R) -- One can’t be certain how many fi lms there are in this particular action-horror series, but this is certainly one of them. Kate Beck-insale takes up her role as Selene, a vam-pire lady who is frequently called upon to fl ip around and shoot things. The twist this time is that the human world has caught on to the existence of vampires and were-wolves in the present day.The movie sticks to a few notes. Everything is black with blue lighting. All fi ghts are
superhuman gunfi ghts with bits of kung fu. All dialog is horrible and pointless. Sure, these movies are about the skintight black-costumed shootouts, but who says there can’t be character development or an inter-esting plot to go with the full automatics?“Mother’s Day” (R) -- This remake of a bizarre 1980 horror fi lm misses the mark for suspense and winds up with tedium instead. Three violent brothers break out of prison to fi nd that their home has been foreclosed on and sold to a young couple. The fugitives turn a gathering of friends into a hostage situation that escalates when they call in the head honcho: their mom.Rebecca De Mornay plays the mother with as much straight-laced menace as she can. The fi lm is directed by a fellow who did some of the “Saw” sequels, and the overall tone and torture aspect land in that region. “Front Line” (NR) -- Set during the last days of combat during the Korean War,
this fi lm examines the horrors of war from a slightly different perspective. For a South Korean production, there are quite a few Hollywood tropes, but the fi lm ultimately holds its own by looking at the fi nal, bru-tal battles for the last hills up for grabs be-fore the ceasefi re. A South Korean bullet in one of the commanding offi cers prompts a murder investigation of a hardened com-pany. The fi lm knows that there is a grim absurdity in a murder investigation on the front lines of war.

MAY 7, 2012
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The often skeptical Aries might fi nd that an answer to a question is hard to believe. But check it out before you chuck it out. You might well be surprised at what you could learn.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your resolute determination to stick by a position might make some people uncomfortable. But if you’re proved right (as I expect you to be), a lot of changes will tilt in your favor.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel confl icted between what you want to do and what you should do. Best advice: Honor your obligations fi rst. Then go ahead and enjoy your well-earned rewards.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) That fi nan-cial matter still needs to be sorted out before you can consider any major monetary moves. Pressures ease midweek, with news about a potential career change.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) A workplace problem threatens to derail your well-planned project. But your quick mind should lead you to a solution and get you back on track with-out too much delay.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) An op-portunity opens up but could quickly close down if you allow pessimism to override en-thusiasm. A trusted friend can offer the en-couragement you need.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You’ve come through a diffi cult period of helping others deal with their problems. Now you can concentrate on putting your energy to work on your own projects.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Forget about who’s to blame and, instead, make the fi rst move toward patching up a misunderstanding before it creates a rift that you’ll never be able to cross.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Good news for the travel-loving Sagittar-ian who enjoys galloping off to new places: That trip you put off will soon be back on your schedule.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A mood change could make the gregarious Goat seek the company of just a few friends. But you charge back into the crowd for week-end fun and games.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A decision you made in good faith could come under fi re. Best advice: Open your mind to other possibilities by listening to your chal-lenger’s point of view.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You can avoid being swamped by all those tasks dan-gling from your line this week by tackling them one by one, according to priority. The weekend brings good news.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have a fi ne busi-ness sense and a love of the arts. You enjoy living life to its fullest.

Dollars & $en$eby David Uffi ngton
IS COUPON CLIPPING WORTH THE EFFORT?
Clipping coupons can shave dollars off your grocery bill. While it might seem like more trouble than it’s worth, you can save serious money if you de-
velop a plan and stick to it.
Start by checking the Sunday newspaper or Snippetz each week. Add up the value of the coupons you’ll actually use and determine if it’s worthwhile buying additional news-papers just for the ads. If products you regularly use have coupons, take that as an opportunity to stock up. Many stores run sales at the same time that coupons appear in newspapers, increasing your savings.
If you have a computer and a printer, a whole world of potential savings opens up, as there are dozens of websites devoted to couponing. As a starting point on the Internet, check these websites to see if they appeal to you: www.coupons.com (click on Deals by State), www.dealseeking-mom.com, www.redplum.com and www.fatwallet.com.
Many sites insist that you sign up with an email address, so create a separate email account just for couponing. You might need to sign up for a weekly or monthly newsletter that will include printable coupons. In other cases, once you sign in, you’ll be able to print coupons immediately. Some ask for your ZIP code so the coupons can be tar-geted to stores in your area.
Set a goal for your couponing. Do just want to shave dol-lars off your weekly grocery bill? Do you want to concen-trate only on the high-dollar items in your grocery bill, such as diapers or pet food? Will you use the extra cash for family fun, or put the money in a savings account, or use it to pay off credit-card debt? Knowing what your specifi c goals are can help you stay consistent.
Unless you fi nd over time that you’re extremely serious about saving money with coupons, don’t fall for the DVD workshops and CDs that will teach you how clip coupons. You’ll net plenty of savings with a modest effort that doesn’t cost you anything. If you save $5 a week, that’s $5 that stays in your wallet.
To decide if couponing is for you, spend an hour a few days a week searching online for coupons and clipping them from the newspaper. Try it for three weeks. Then add up your savings. Decide if a regular effort is a potentially signifi cant money saver for you.

NEWS FROMNORTH GATE
by Marlene Brown
Being that this is the fi rst writing of News from North Gate. Let me introduce myself, Marlene Brown,
owner and manager of Coffee on the Go…
Many of you have been have been to our drive-up coffee shop and many of you have been meaning to stop by. Morgan Brown, my brother and partner in the business, would be happy for you to stop by and receive your blessing and healing. “Yes, coffee can be healing when taken in the right context.” Many have asked, “How’s it going, is owning your own business everything that you dreamed?” It’s just as you may have imagined. We have been in business for over a year and a half. We heard many different analogies, “Most businesses fail in the fi rst year, it took four years for our business to turn a profi t and the three to eight years rule.” It can take anywhere from three to eight years for a business to break even. Break even, that’s not even turning a profi t.
We have been told that our coffee is the smoothest, the best in town, no bitter taste. We have to thank our coffee roaster, Golden Pines Roaster, in Black Forest for the best cup of coffee in town. He low roasts the beans and never burns them to the bitter end. Even the espresso is so smooth that
our lattes and cappuccinos have been likened to coffee drinks in Italy. So we are here to stay.

Saturday afternoon, April 21st, 2012, a local family, new to the community; decided to take their son (Cylas Bates) to Palmer Lake and try their luck fi shing. It was a beautiful day, they had just picked their spot and settled in, when mom (Darmi Coons), got a giant tug on her pole. She yelled for her husband (Justin Bates). He swore she was snagged, and made his way over to help her, when he realized there was a strong fi sh on her pole.
They fought the fi sh for about 15 minutes, and Justin fi nally had to get in the water to wrestle the creature inland! The giant pike was 39” long and weighed 30 + lbs.
Sorry all you avid fi sherman who have been trying to catch this creature for years, he has become dinner!
