Solar EclipseParty 2017!
Chicago is not in thepath—not even
close! If you are inChicago, the eclipsewill never be total forus. We DO need towear eye protectionfor the entire partial
eclipse! The farsouthern portion of
the state of Illinois isthe only part that
sees totality. Illinois isalso the state that
has the most area ofthe overlap of the
paths of totality forthe great eclipses of
2017 and 2024!Illinois is also home
to the point ofgreatest duration for
this eclipse.Here at Cedarlake,we will have a partyoutside in front by
the gazebo onAugust 21st. We will
have certified viewingglasses for all who
would like toexperience the
eclipse. Oh, and colddrinks!
50/50 Winner!!!

A Celestial SpectacleMillions across the U.S. will
have their eyes on the sky thismonth: The first coast-to-coastsolar eclipse in nearly a centurywill take place on Aug. 21.
A total solar eclipse occurswhen the moon moves betweenthe sun and the Earth, coveringthe sun and casting a shadowon Earth.
This month’s eclipse is uniquebecause its path will cross theU.S. diagonally from Oregon toSouth Carolina, passing throughparts of 14 states.
All areas of the continentalU.S. will experience at least apartial eclipse, but people in the70-mile-wide “path of totality”will see a total eclipse, when onlythe sun’s outer atmosphere, thecorona, will be visible. In themiddle of the day, twilight will fallfor up to 2 minutes, 40 seconds;stars and planets will be visible;and the temperature will drop,just like at nighttime.
The view is sure to bebreathtaking, but experts cautionthat looking directly at the suncan cause permanent eyedamage. Special eclipse glassesor solar viewers are essential.
The next total solar eclipse inthe U.S. will occur in 2024.

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.
