Conservation efforts have increased dramatically since the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. An avid sportsman, Roosevelt worked hard to protect the natural resources he so loved. Assisting him in the effort were thousands of fellow sportsmen and women. Together, they pushed for laws protecting public lands, waters and wildlife, requiring fishing and hunting licenses, and funding state conservation agen-cies through taxation of gear. As a result, hundreds of thousands of species were saved from extinction, including antelope, elk, white-tailed deer, wild turkeys and wood ducks. While Roosevelt was recognized for his efforts, most sportsmen and women were not. They deserved public recognition, too.

Acutely aware of the problem, Pennsylvania gun shop owner Ira Joffe suggested the creation of a day to thank sportsmen and women for their conservation efforts. Governor Raymond Shafer supported the

idea and established Outdoor Sportsman’s Day in the state in 1970.

The idea for a national day gained momentum with sup-port from the National Shoot-ing Sports Foundation, and just a year later, Congress got into the act. Senator Thomas McIntyre from New Hampshire and Representative Bob Sikes from Florida each presented a bill calling for the establishment of National Hunting and Fishing Day on the fourth Saturday of September. The bills were well received and passed in both houses. President Richard Nix-on signed the first proclamation of the day on May 2, 1972.

The celebration of Na-tional Hunting and Fishing Day continues to this day. Each year, prominent figures from politicians to athletes to entertainers serve as chair of the day. Countless events are held everywhere in honor of the conservation efforts of sportsmen and women. These serve to raise awareness of the cause and give others a chance to see how fun hunting and fish-ing can be.

Proper Leash Training Can Prevent Tragedy

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: Last week a really tragic accident happened just down the street. Our neighbor was walking his 1-year-old German Shep-herd, ?Champ,? on a sturdy leash. The dog tended to tug on his leash or jump away from his owner when something grabbed his attention. Sadly, when the owner paused to let his dog sniff at a tree on the curb while he waved to a neighbor, Champ suddenly darted into the busy street. Before his owner could tug him back on the curb, Champ was struck by a car and killed almost instantly.

Please warn your readers to keep their dogs under control and on the sidewalk, even while on a leash, and to pay attention to their dogs during their walks. My neighbor is suffering terrible grief, and I hate to think of anyone else, or their pets, suffering from preventable accidents. -- Sharon in Utica, N.Y.

DEAR SHARON: You're right: While accidents do happen, many can be prevented by knowing how to correctly walk your dog on a leash. Reinforcing your dog's basic obedience training, including sit, stay and heel commands, is an important daily task.

If you're having trouble controlling your dog on the leash despite following common leash-training techniques, contact a professional dog trainer for group or private sessions so you and your dog will learn to walk together safely.

CHIMNEY SER-VICES


Attempting to pick the winner of the Chase for the Sprint Cup is a hazardous

proposition. The format is designed more to create an exciting process than to pro-duce a just winner.

No one would suggest that Tony Stew-art's spectacular 2011 championship -- not to mention the breathtaking competition with Carl Edwards -- was undeserved, but Stewart somehow managed to step up his game in a way that few, including him, could have anticipated. After going winless in the season's first 26 races, Stewart won five of the final 10. Edwards lost by a tie-breaker after compiling the best average finish (4.9) in the history of the Chase. Edwards finished second in each of the final three races. Stewart won three of the final four and was third in the other.

"I couldn't predict it last year," Stewart said. "I wasn't good enough to predict it then. I'm not sure I'm going to be any better at predicting it now.

"All 12 guys have a shot, and a good shot, I think."

Here's one modest attempt to set the odds. Each driver has a one-in-12 shot.

Just kidding.--Jimmie Johnson 4-1. Given his history, it's

impossible to pick anyone else.--Denny Hamlin 8-1. He's tried and failed before,

and he now has Stewart's 2011 crew chief, Darian Grubb, in his corner.

--Dale Earnhardt Jr. 10-1. He needs to win a few more races. If he can maintain his consistency, though, he's still got a decent shot.

--Brad Keselowski 10-1. He's poised to give Dodge its last hurrah.

--Tony Stewart 10-1. He pulled out of his slump

Handicapping the Chase

at Richmond with a fourth-place finish.--Greg Biffle 12-1. He doesn't lead the points now

because he has only two victories, but winning the regular season counts ... a little.

--Jeff Gordon 12-1. He made it, and now he's go-ing to have to be reckoned with. His average finish in the past three races is 2.33.

--Clint Bowyer 15-1. The most recent winner must avoid the occasional disaster. He finished outside the top 25 four times during the first 26 races.

--Matt Kenseth 20-1. In spite of claims to the contrary, he's slipped since he announced he was leaving Roush Fenway at season's end.

--Kasey Kahne 20-1. Oh, he could win the cham-pionship, but it's hard to see him as better than the fourth seed at Hendrick Motorsports.

--Martin Truex Jr. 30-1. Maybe it won't require a victory, but his most recent one was in 2007.

--Kevin Harvick 35-1. In the last 13 races, he has two finishes better than 10th. That won't cut it.

Jeff Gordon, right, joined Kasey Kahne in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship with a strong finish at Richmond. With 12 drivers ready to take on 10 races, it's still safe to say Jimmie Johnson has the best odds to win it all again. (John Clark/NASCAR This Week photo)
