Leo Roth: No Boundaries - Inspirational Stories of the Outdoors

A man who walked around the perimeter of Lake Ontario, a woman who swam the width of all 11 Finger Lakes, a man who continued to hunt after a devastating stroke left him locked inside his body, a couple who drove cross country and wrote about the state parks they visited and the birds they photographed. These are just a few of the hundreds of people award-winning sports writer Leo Roth has featured on his Do It! page each Sunday in the Democrat and Chronicle.

Leo Roth, who has covered a wide variety of sports teams and big events during his nearly 30 years with the D&C and is a member of the Frontier Field Walk of Fame, has been chronicling the adventures of outdoor sports enthusiasts since 2007.

"The expertise and passion people have for the outdoors in our city truly has no boundaries,'' Leo said. "It inspires me to pass on their stories. I know I have the best job at the paper, but don't tell my bosses.''

No topic is too big or too small, too weird or wonderful, for Leo's keyboard. He has covered birding, boating, biking, camping, canoeing, cooking, kayaking, sailing, walking, fishing, hunting, mountaineering and everything in between. Join Leo for our March program to hear his insight into the people he has met and the inspirational stories they have shared.

If you are a chapter member, other than an elected chapter officer, and would like to serve on this important committee, please contact Bruce Tehan.  Bruce can be reached at 585-442-7851 and at brucetehan@hotmail.com

Education Chairperson: The Genesee Valley Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club is looking for a new Education Chair to serve on the Executive Committee. One of the things the Education Chair does is recruit people to put on workshops at our chapter meetings. Filling this important position is a great way for someone to “give back” to ADK. To find out more about this volunteer opportunity please contact Bruce Tehan at 585-442-7851 or brucetehan@hotmail.com.

Attention Cross-Country skiers: The Genesee Valley Nordic Ski Patrol is recruiting for the 2012-2013 season.  Are you intrigued by wilderness first aid?  Do you wish to become skilled in patient transport on trails, learn to assess and manage injuries while off the beaten path?  This is for you.  Join 25 dedicated Nordics, and come out and ski with us this winter.

The National Ski Patrol offers an in-depth winter sports first aid course every August-October with hands-on small group training conducted in the classroom, with instructor-led  outdoors practice.  The Nordic Patrol uses these skills while we patrol the trails at Mendon Ponds, Harriet Hollister Spencer, and Cummings Nature Center, weekends in January and February.

Call Tom Adler at 787-1441 or email him at tomadler@gvnsp.org. Check out our website at www.gvnsp.org
