born.
Folk stories aren’t always lit­ into the drainage system that fil­

ing Center pond and killed a bunch
of baby salmon that Jerry
Herrmann had over there. At the
time, accusations flew and ten­
sion rose because no one knew for
sure what had happened. After­
wards, it was suggested that, since
Herrmann recycled everything
anyway, he could take those dead
salmon and, since they were tiny,
have smoked salmon on a stick.
John Hooley tried to talk a com­
mercial art instructor Kevin For­

“smoked salmon on a stick” de­
sign, but the whole idea never got
off the ground. It was one of those
situations where humor was used
to lighten tensions. Currently, the
ELC does hold smoked salmon
bakes, but apparently they and
the recycling activities are unre­
lated events...and as far as we know
there is no t-shirt.
