The short course, sponsored by the Center for Management Development [CMD] at Appalachian State University, was on “Employee Interviewing and Appraisal Techniques.” It was led by Harwell (left] and Black [right], who is employment manager of Glen Raven Mills. The day-long seminar was held at Appalachian’s Center for Continuing Education. The CMD offers special staff development courses and programs to meet the needs of business and industry in Northwestern North Carolina. i — _ ; hrrffietd BY J!M DEAN BYE, BYE MISS AMERICAN PIE 1 would never admit it. of course, but apparently my friends are right when they call me a hopeless, nostalgic, sentimental hack. There is just no other explanation for some of the things I’m about to say. It concerns fishing, modern fishing. Or to be even more exact, modern largemouth bass fishing. As virtually every fisherman knows, tremendous strides have been made in bass fishing techniques during the past few years. First, plastic worms hit the market and practically revolutionized the sport. I confess I use them and enjoy fishing with them. Then cam special electronic depth finders and thermometers. Fast boats designed especially for bass fishing were developed. You know the type, those with the high, comfortable seats. Some of these boats are so fully equipped that you can sit in the front seat under a special umbrella and direct the cooling breeze from an electric fan onto your hot body. They’ve even got wall to wall (or bulkhead to bulkhead) carpet. I like them, and someday I may even own one. Along with the new boats and other gear came refinements in fishing tackle. Rods were specially designed for bass fishing. Freespool casting reels became the rage. A variety of new lures hit the market-the spinner baits and "Big O” type plugs. Like everybody else, 1 have replaced my old rods and reels with this new stuff, and I like it. Simultaneous with the development of all this new gear, tournament bass fishing captured the fancy of anglers. If you were not (yuk, yuk) "field testing” some tackle manufacturer’s newest invention, you were competing for thousands of dollars in prizes or cash at some big lake. To say that these developments have raised bass fishing to an art is an understatement. The new breed of bass fisherman is an expert, and he catches plenty of bass. More to the point, there is not a fisherman alive who cannot profit by using some, or all, of these new techniques and this new equipment. Certainly, 1 have. But I think I’m fishing more and enjoying it less. Why? What the heck's wrong with me? Can't I be satisfied catching a limit of bass in the four to seven pound class? Well, no. I enjoy modern bass fishing, but there’s something James Bondish about it all. if all I wanted out of my fishing was a string of fish, I’d become a commercial fisherman. If electronics was my bag, I'd try out for the astronauts. The point is that the appeal of fishing is more complicated. Somewhere in the rush for the perfect fishing machine (meaning the angler and all his gear), the gentle pleasures of fishing seem to have been misplaced. The man who enjoys fly fishing for bluegills in a farm pond knows what I mean. So does the stream fisherman. So does the big lake angler who piddles along catching a bass here and there. He doesn’t care if his partner catches two more bass than he does. A lost fish is not a tragedy, worth perhaps a thousand dollars worth of prizes. The man who flips crickets along a blackwater stream for robin knows what I’m getting at. Please don’t misunderstand. I have nothing against modem tackle and techniques. And 1 would even enjoy tournament fishing occasionally. But I would never confuse that kind of fishing with the soul-washing experience of chunking plugs along the banks of an old millpond. Nor would 1 confuse it with stalking wild trout in a remote stream.s It’s not the same. It never will be. 6 THIS SPACE CONTRIBUTED AS A PUBLIC SERVICE BY THE PUBLISHER Whythe good neighbor made instant grandchildren. In our time, in our world, the old get hidden away and forgotten much too often. ' , In a Connecticut city, The American Red Cross—America’s Good Neighbor—did something about it. There, Red Cross Youth each “adopted a grandparent.” Strictly one to one. The purpose: regular visits—to make life just a little more worth living for older folks. A small matter, you may think—especially if there just don’t happen to be any older people in your neighborhood, or your life. But it represents just what Red Cross is all about. Because The American Red Cross is a home town affair. That’s why you find us doing different, things in different hometowns. #pr We're what you need us to be. Whoever you are. aK.
