LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION memorializing Governor David A. Paterson to
proclaim April 2009, as Fly Fishing Month in the State of New York

WHEREAS, Opening day of fly fishing season in New York State is April 1,
2009; and
WHEREAS, Fly fishing is a sport enjoyed by adults, youth and families
across this great Empire State; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to memorial-
ize Governor David A. Paterson to proclaim April 2009, as Fly Fishing
Month in New York State; and
WHEREAS, The Kaiser Family Foundation's research shows that our kids
spend an average of 44 hours a week with television, computers and video
games, and suffer from what Richard Louv, author of LAST CHILD IN THE
WOODS, has termed "nature-deficit disorder"; and
WHEREAS, New York State Fly Fishing Month is designated and publicized
with the goal to get families moving in the right direction, to help
kids connect to nature and build a foundation which stays connected into
adulthood; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor David A. Paterson to proclaim April 2009, as Fly
Fishing Month in the State of New York; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to The Honorable David A. Paterson, Governor of the State of New
York.
