Big Fish That Did Not Get Away

It’s always interesting to see our fishermen friends hold up their “catch of the day.” Lake George has some of the best fishing around so it’s nice to see the folks who can reel them in. Many thanks to the Dennehy brothers for sharing these great pictures.


Editors note: The title of this post is slightly misleading because both fish pictured above are still swimming in Lake George because they were “thrown back” by our fishermen friends.

Ian Brown named MWC Baseball Position Player of the Week

Following several astounding performances, Grinnell College’s Ian Brown ’25 has been named Midwest Conference Baseball Position Player of the Week.

Brown, a first baseman from Darien, Conn. (Greens Farms Academy), had not one, but two, walk off home runs for the Pioneers as they went 4-1 in the last week. His three-run shot against Cornell College in the bottom of the seventh inning finished off the Pioneers’ 16-6 mercy rule victory, and yet another three-run homer in the eighth inning three days later concluded the Pioneers’ 22-11 win over Monmouth College.

Brown completed his homer trifecta for the week the next day with one more three-run shot in a 20-9 win over Monmouth. For the week, he hit .611 by going 11-of-18 with 13 RBIs, nine runs scored and two doubles while posting a slugging percentage of 1.222. Grinnell put up 71 runs over the five-game span.

Ian is the son of Sean and Delphine (Knight) Brown of Huletts Landing.

Comptroller Releases Review of Recently Adopted $220.5 Billion State Budget

The New York state comptroller’s office released its analysis of the recently enacted record-breaking $220.5 billion state budget passed on April 9th. The state’s coffers this year were bolstered by higher-than-expected tax revenues, as well as federal pandemic aid.

While the State’s financial position currently appears strong, sustaining new recurring commitments over a longer time period may be difficult, as new economic risks emerge, federal funds are spent down, and temporary tax revenues sunset. Bolstering reserve funds is essential for ensuring services New Yorkers rely on can be preserved through economic challenges and fiscal uncertainties, and every opportunity should be taken to maximize deposits to the State’s statutory rainy day reserve funds.

The entire report can be read here.
