Rescue crews continue to search for a man who fell into the Ausable River last month in Wilmington.New York State Police responded to the area behind the Hungry Trout Resort on Sept. 29 after a report that 68-year-old George Thevis, of Atlanta, lost his balance and fell about 25 feet into the river.According to New York State Police, a net has been set up under the tunnel, near where Thevis went missing. "The past few days it's been very sad and it's kind of hard with not being able to know if they've found him yet, which they haven't," said Danielle Celenzo, a Wilmington resident.According to her, the community is unfortunately used to people going missing in the river and "it's the same battle of every year."Celenzo said it is very scary to think that a simple fall could turn into this."There's talk about how they want to guard up the flume sometimes or just put something where people can't go," said Celenzo. "And unfortunately for locals, it's hard because that's a spot people have been going to their whole entire lives."At the same time, Celenzo thinks it could be a good option as she doesn't want to see any more people fall, especially tourists who don't always understand the danger the river can have."Stay as far away as you can from the cliffs," said Celenzo. "'If the water is white, then it's not right,' is another saying that we like to say around here. Then also if it's rained, or the weather is changing between two seasons, it's good to stay away from that area."New York State Forest Rangers and State Police will continue to search the area and check the net in the Ausable River periodically.
