Project Healing Waters Will Teach Wounded Vets the Art of Fly Fishing
Volunteers and members of Project Healing Waters will teach the basic steps and techniques of fly fishing to disabled veterans in a series of classes starting Monday Oct. 5, at the Edick-Hamlink Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 369 on NYS Route 3. Classes will be held Mondays from 7 to 9 p.m.
The board members of Oswego Health and its affiliate boards, along with the Oswego Hospital medical staff recently honored retiring Richard Fiese, DMD during a reception.
The event, free and open to the public, ties in with the college’s “Arts, Identity and Diaspora” Artswego series on the experiences of those displaced by economic, cultural or political hardships. Halse’s forthcoming young-adult novel, “Chains,” follows the struggle for freedom and dignity of Isabel, an 18th century slave girl owned by wealthy New Yorkers.
