WELCOME TO NEW YORK STATE

ATA

Now that the autumn has arrived, I hope that everyone is enjoying the cooler fall weather.  The summer of 2016 certainly was very warm and dry.  We hope that everyone had an enjoyable time shooting ATA targets during the summer.

We are all still in a state of shock at the passing of Pennsylvania ATA Delegate Glenn Lash during the Grand American on August 10, 2016.  Glenn was 60 years of age.  I was standing next to Glenn when he was stricken.  We had just caucused during the annual meeting to vote on the new Vice President for the Eastern Zone when the event occurred.  Glenn was a great guy with a warm smile always on his face.  Glenn treated everyone with kindness and warmth.  Good guys like Glenn are few and far between.  Our deepest sympathies to Glenn’s Wife Dienna and his entire family on his passing.  Glenn certainly will be missed.

Congratulations to Ontario Delegate Paul Shaw on becoming the new Eastern Zone Vice President.  Paul is a very hard worker and a great shooter.  We know that Paul will do an excellent job as Vice President, just as he has done as a delegate for Ontario.  Paul is one of the nicest guys in trapshooting that you will ever want to meet.  Congratulations, Paul.

As of September 1, 2016, Wayne Morris’ term as ATA President will come to an end.  Wayne has done an excellent job heading up the Eastern Zone for four years and this past year as ATA President.  From all of us from New York, we consider him a New Yorker.  Wayne has always attended all of our shoots at the homegrounds at Cicero over the years. He was always there for us for classification and shoot-offs.  Wayne, thank you for all your hard work for us over the years.  It is really appreciated.

Congratulations to Chris Vendel for being inducted into the ATA Hall of Fame during the 2017 Grand American.  Induction ceremonies and dinner will take place on Tuesday Evening, August 8, 2017.  Great going, Chris.  It is an honor well deserved.

There were no new rule changes proposed during the Annual Meeting at the Grand American on Wednesday, August 10, 2016.  The rule book should remain the same as this past year’s addition.

The 2017 Grand American will take place in Sparta, Illinois from Wednesday, August 2, 2017 to Saturday, August 12, 2017.  We hope that you all plan to attend.

If you are planning on doing any hunting in the field during the fall, please be careful and remember your safety rules.

Good shooting and I hope to see you all soon.

                                                                        Dave Cichelli

                                                                        New York State ATA Alternate Delegate For Brian Whalen, New York State ATA Delegate
