AUGUST IS

Popcorn Pick: ‘OnGolden Pond’

Each summer, the loons return toGolden Pond, just like retiredcouple Norman and Ethel Thayer(Henry Fonda and KatharineHepburn), who own a cottage at theNew England lake. Their routine isinterrupted when their grown,somewhat estranged daughter,Chelsea (Jane Fonda), asks thecouple to look after her fiancé’steenage son. CurmudgeonlyNorman must learn to relate toyoung Billy and eventually makepeace with Chelsea. The familydrama earned Henry Fonda a bestactor Oscar for his performance.

Freckled FacesThe mention of freckles may bring

to mind an image of a little,red-headed girl with a sprinkle ofspots across her nose, but all typesof people can have the genetic trait.Freckles are simply skin cells thatcontain more of the pigment,melanin, than the cells around them.Sunlight makes freckles appear onexposed areas, such as the face,arms and legs, and the dots may fadein winter or with age, so embracethem.

The Lure of FishingFrom casting a line to reeling in

“the big one,” fishing can be arelaxing and rewarding form ofrecreation. Fish through these populartypes of the sport:

Freshwater. Whether fishing fromthe banks, a bridge or in a boat, manylike the easy access of freshwaterlakes, ponds and rivers. The gear andbait used depends on the type of fishyou’re trying to hook. Bass, bluegill,catfish, crappie and walleye areabundant species.

Saltwater. Oceans and seas aremade of salt water, and fishing canbe enjoyed from a beach or from aboat in deep waters. Bluefish, cod,flounder, grouper, marlin, tarponand tuna are some of the prizedsaltwater game fish. Many touristspots offer chartered fishing trips foradventurous anglers.

Fly. Fly-fishers cast artificial “flies”onto the surface of the water in arhythmic motion to imitate insectsand other bait in order to attract fish.Fly-fishing is often associated withmountain streams, but it can alsobe done in ponds, lakes and saltwater. Trout and salmon arecommon catches.

Ice. Winter’s cold doesn’t stop icefishermen, who cut a hole in a frozenlake or pond, then drop a line.Shelters such as ice shanties providerelief from the elements.

Pictured are a few places that youcan catch some fish, for a wonderfuldinner. Did you ever fish, and if sowhere and what kind did you catch?
