Twin Cities invention could help in ice rescues

 A Twin Cities man thinks his ice fishing invention could actually help save lives.
Tom Roering believes his Wilcraft can be used to aid in ice rescues.
"This will travel across ice that can't be walked on and it will do it at 20 miles per hour. As far as deployment, it's just seconds. Pull it off the trailer and you're to the victim at 20 miles per hour," said Roering.
The Wilcraft weighs 400 pounds total. It puts two pounds of pressure per square in on the ice and it can float.
Roering said the Wilcraft can pull up next to the victim on ice that a rescuer might otherwise fall through. It can back away, towing the victim to safety.
Stillwater's Fire Department has taken a look at the Wilcraft. Roering said he has had interest from other departments as well. |

Beer Advisory Warning!
Beer Advisory Warning!
Police are warning all men who frequent clubs, parties and local pubs to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman.
Many females use a date rape drug on the market called "Beer."
The drug is found in liquid form and is available anywhere. It comes in bottles, cans, or from taps and in large "kegs". Beer is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and sleep with them. A woman needs only to get a guy to consume a few units of Beer and then simply ask him home for no strings attached sex.
Men are rendered helpless against this approach. After several beers, men will often succumb to the desires to sleep with horrific looking women whom they would never normally be attracted.
After drinking beer, men often awaken with only hazy memories of exactly what happened to them the night before, often with just a vague feeling that "something bad" occurred.
At other times these unfortunate men are swindled out of their life's savings, in a familiar scam known as "a relationship."
In extreme cases, the female may even be shrewd enough to entrap the unsuspecting male into a longer term form of servitude and punishment referred to as "marriage." Men are much more susceptible to this scam after beer is administered and sex is offered by the predatory females.
Please! Forward this warning to every male you know.
If you fall victim to this "Beer" scam and the women administering it, there are male support groups where you can discuss the details of your shocking encounter with similarly victimized men. For the support group nearest you, just look visit your local bait and tackle shop.

Rising sea levels
Many scientists believe that, given enough political will, humanity can still manage to avoid catastrophic climate change. But the president-elect of the Maldives isn’t taking any chances.
Mohamed Nasheed, who was sworn in Tuesday as the Maldives’ first democratically elected president, says that rising sea levels threaten to inundate the tiny Indian Ocean island nation. He has announced plans for a fund to buy land elsewhere in the region, where the country’s population, estimated to be about 386,000, could rebuild their lives.
In an interview with the Guardian, Mr. Nasheed said that he is preparing for the worst:
“We can do nothing to stop climate change on our own and so we have to buy land elsewhere. It’s an insurance policy for the worst possible outcome. . . We do not want to leave the Maldives, but we also do not want to be climate refugees living in tents for decades,” he said.
Nasheed said that he is looking at land in India and Sri Lanka, because they have climates, cultures, and cuisines similar to that of the Maldives. He is also considering Australia, which has land to spare.
To pay for it, Nasheed says his government will set up a sovereign wealth fund, with revenues coming from tourism, the country’s most lucrative industry. The Guardian notes that 467,154 people visited the country, which is famed for its placid beaches, in 2006.
According to the CIA World Factbook, some 80 percent of the 1,192 coral islets that make up the Maldives are one meter or less above sea level, making it the world’s lowest country. The UN climate panel predicts that, unless greenhouse emissions are curbed, sea levels could rise by 25 to 58 centimeters by the end of the century. More recent studies, such as this one published in the journal Science, sharply increase the projected sea level rise, to as high as two meters.
If this happens, the Maldives would be uninhabitable. But Maldivians wouldn’t be the first population displaced by global warming.
That distinction probably belongs to the half million residents of Bangladesh’s Bhola Island whose homes were swallowed in 1995 by rising sea levels. In 2005, the 1,600 residents of Papua New Guinea’s Carteret Islands began evacuation, as the advancing sea contunued to destroy gardens, sink homes, and contaminate freshwater supplies. Also that year, 100 residents of Vanuatu’s island of Tegua had to be evacuated as their homes became permanently flooded.
Other low-lying Pacific islands that could disappear in this century include those in Tuvalu, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, and Fiji.
Were these countries to be evacuated, the legal status of the global warming diaspora would be unclear. The same goes for that of a submerged country’s sovereignty. No nation in recorded history has peacefully relocated its entire population and remained intact, and, as National Geographic pointed out in 2005, environmental refugees are not recognized by international law.
Young disabled angler makes history
BY J.J. SMITH
Published: Monday, November 10, 2008 6:05 AM EST
BEAUFORT — Like most children, Bowen Lewis finds immeasurable delight in saltwater fishing.
The rhythm and sounds of waves splashing, the smell of salty air and the thrill of a catch bring the 7-year-old happiness like few things in this world.
And when he is out on a boat fishing, Bowen expresses his joy in a way that is rare at other times.
That’s because the Beaufort Elementary School first-grader has autism, as does his brother, Brady, who is 4.
Autism is a complex brain disorder that inhibits a child’s ability to communicate and develop social relationships and is often accompanied by extreme behavioral challenges.
It is estimated that one out of every 150 children are affected.
For children like Bowen, the water is a calming remedy to regular sensory overload.
Bowen’s mother, Kimberly, first recognized her son’s remarkable response to the water in the summer of 2006 when the Pepsi Americas Sail tall ships visited the area.
“We went on one of the ships, during the tall ships over two years ago, and his reaction on that boat was phenomenal,” said Kimberly. “I remember, he was hushing us and telling us to be quiet, and all of sudden he said the ocean was making music. It was the ‘dink, dink, dink,’ sound from the buoys. He absolutely loved it. In fact, he loves the water, period, whether it’s the ocean, the sound, a swimming pool or even a mud puddle.”
After witnessing Bowen’s love for the water after that experience, Kimberly quickly sought out ways to get him back on a boat.
“I’m a waitress at Applebee’s, and I was telling some of my customers about what happened, and those ladies told me to head on to the Big Rock (Blue Marlin Tournament) headquarters and they would provide the help I needed.”
Kimberly ran into just the right man at the headquarters in Chuck Laughridge, the president of the Cape Lookout Flyfishers, fly-fishing television show host and producer, conservationist and part owner of the popular fishing Web site North Carolina Waterman (www.ncwaterman.com).
Hoping to get Bowen on a boat involved in the Big Rock Tournament, Kimberly was instead instructed by Laughridge to tell her story on the Web site.
“Capt. John McDow from Wilmington contacted me and told us to come down to go king mackerel fishing,” said Kimberly. “And at the end of the day, he gave Bowen a rod and reel. I went to Wal-Mart to get some help with tackle and stuff, but I really didn’t get any assistance there. So I went back on the Web site asking for help, and again, they were very, very helpful.”
Kimberly’s foray onto the North Carolina Waterman’s message boards set off a surprising chain of events that led to an unprecedented achievement.
“The Triad Chapter went to the N.C. Wildlife Commission, and found out that he could get a lifetime fishing license,” she explained. “And because he is an SSI participant, it only cost $20. Bowen is the first disabled child in the state to get a lifetime license.”
Inspired by Bowen, the North Carolina Waterman Inc. members announced the launch of “Licensed for Life.” The program was started to purchase lifetime freshwater and saltwater fishing licenses for disabled children in North Carolina. In addition, a new rod and reel combo is provided to the disabled children, with tackle included from Bass Pro Shop and Zebco.
“It’s funny, it just started as a fluke,” said Kimberly. “I was just looking to get Bowen on a fishing boat. And now we have a 501(c)(4) nonprofit group, and there is a lot of red tape with lawyers and such, and we are set up to take applications. It’s been amazing, and it is such a great program. Barry Yaskiewicz really worked hard to get the program started.”
Kimberly’s other son, Brady, who is in prekindertarten at Beaufort Elementary, has benefited from fishing and being out on the water as much as his older brother.
“Bowen and Brady are complete opposites, they won’t even play together outside,” said Kimberly. “And at the house, they won’t even stay in the same room. But on the boat, they are best friends. When they are out on the water, they are just completely different people.”
The difference in Bowen is unmistakable.
“Since he has been involved with North Carolina Waterman, Inc. and has been fishing, I have seen him blossom from a boy who would often say ‘I can’t do it’ into a boy with so much more confidence in himself,” said Kimberly.
Bowen loves getting out on the water or just throwing a line in from one of his favorite fishing spots. And while fishing, he is able to utilize skills obtained in many of his therapies. He is able to work on his fine motor skills when baiting a hook or setting up different rigs. He uses his gross motor skills while reeling in a fish. And he sharpens his social and speech skills around other fisherman as he interacts with them and talks about his catches.
“It’s so much more than just catching fish,” said Kimberly. “But if you ask Bowen, he will tell you it’s about having fun. I just want to get the word out about the program, because now with ‘Licensed for Life,’ many more children with disabilities are going to benefit from the joy that fishing can bring.”
To qualify for the program, applicants must reside in North Carolina and be under the age of 16. Applicants must also qualify for SSI benefits as determined by the N.C. Department of Fish and Wildlife. There will also be a limited number of licenses purchased for handicapped children who do not fall under the SSI statutes. These will be issued as funds are available.
EFTTA BACKS FORMATION OF THE ANGLING TRUST IN THE UK
EFTTA
THE European Fishing Tackle Trade Association,
Has welcomed the formation of a new single body to represent angers interests in the UK.
The Chairmen of all of the country's angling's representative bodies have signed a merger agreement which will see them become a single new organisation to represent all anglers from 5 January 2009: The Angling Trust.
One of the aims of The Angling Trust is to generate 100,000 individual members in the next three years.
EFTTA chief executive officer, Jean-Claude Bel said: "We welcome this initiative. As in many countries, the UK government has always found it difficult to work more closely with the recreational angling fraternity because of the number of organisations involved.
"Creating one official body will unite the sport and make it stronger and better-equipped to represent itself. If all of the anglers in the UK got behind The Angling Trust and became individual members then it would become an extremely powerful voice in the ongoing battle to make governments understand the important and positive role recreational fishing plays in society."
The historic document forming The Angling Trust was signed on Sunday, 19 October, at the Tackle & Guns trade fair at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire, by:
* Jim Glasspool, Fisheries and Angling Conservation Trust (FACT)
* Stephen Marsh-Smith, Anglers' Conservation Association (ACA)
* Martin Read, National Association of Fisheries and Angling Consultatives (NAFAC)
* Terry Fell, National Federation of Anglers (NFA)
* Richard Ferré, National Federation of Sea Anglers (NFSA)
* Christopher Evans, Specialist Anglers' Alliance (SAA)
The Trust will continue to consult on its plans for the rest of 2008 and is very keen to ensure that it is representative of all anglers.

fishing port blaze
Fire crews battle fishing port blaze
Tuesday, October 14, 2008, 09:02
FIRE CREWS are investigating a suspected arson at an historic Westcoutnry fishing port.
Five crews were sent to the heart of Looe at 1.26am today after fish stores on The Quay were deliberately set alight.
A fire was started in one store room at the quayside fish market and has badly damaged two adjacent rooms, forcing the evacuation of neighbouring buildings.
Two appliances from Looe, one appliance from Liskeard and two appliances from Bodmin were called to the fire in the early hours of this morning and faced danger of explosion as a gas cannister in the building 'vented' due to the heat of the blaze.
The building, measuring approximately five metres by three metres, was found to be well alight on arrival of the crews.

Wearing two breathing apparatus and using two hose reels and two monitors the fire was brought under control. A propane cylinder vented whilst crews were at a safe distance.
Properties in the immediate area were evacuated but everyone has now returned home, advice was also given in regard to the smoke plume and keeping doors and windows closed. One flat was found to be occupied at the time of the blaze and the residents were asked to leave their home.
The fire is believed to have been started deliberately and details have been passed to Devon and Cornwall Police who will be investigating further.

Sportfishing Access Protected by President

Sportfishing Access Protected by President |
The Billfish Foundation part of conservation coalition which pushed for executive order
WASHINGTON D.C. --- Through the efforts of the Center for Coastal Conservation (CCC) of which The Billfish Foundation (TBF) is a major proponent, President George W. Bush signed an amendment to an earlier executive order giving access of more federal lands and waters to the nation's recreational anglers and boaters.
While recognizing National Hunting and Fishing Day 2008 this past weekend, President Bush said, "My Administration has created, protected, and restored millions of acres of wetlands. Through my Ocean Action Plan, we are protecting fish populations and marine habitat. I was pleased to amend Executive Order 12962 to recognize the value of recreational fishing as a sustainable activity in Federal waters.
TBF President Ellen Peel said the amendment to the Executive Order signed by President Bill Clinton on June 7, 1995, ensures that recreational fishing shall be managed as a sustainable activity in national wildlife refuges, national parks, national monuments, national marine sanctuaries, marine protected areas, or any other relevant conservation or management areas or activities under any Federal authority, consistent with applicable law.
"It's all very significant," said Ms. Peel who also serves on the board of the CCC, "as is the administration's on-going work on the Ocean Action Plan as it relates to the conservation and nation's offshore sportsmen. The Plan, which promotes an ethic of responsible use and preservation of our oceans and coastal resources, is working to stop over-fishing in America by 2011, especially by foreign commercial interests, and through the Magnuson Stevens Act which enacted a 200-mile jurisdiction. Now two-thirds of federal waters -- about 2.3 million square nautical miles - are off-limits to harmful bottom-trawling and dredging."
"Today's billfishermen are among the most conservation-minded citizens," said Peel. "Hopefully the recent actions by the government will help to re-nourish an ailing marine economy."
This past summer TBF among a coalition of five associations, individual conservationists and businesses helped to form the CCC into a non-partisan national organization dedicated to enacting sensible marine conservation laws through education and political action. Along with TBF, the other groups in the CCC include the International Game Fish Association (IGFA), American Sportfishing Assoc. (ASA), the National Marine Manufacturers Assoc. (NMMA) and the Coastal Conservation Assoc. (CCA). Though the groups hold a wide range of interests the new coalition is already focusing on federal policy - as it did in working with the White House on the executive order -- and candidates in the upcoming 2008 elections.
Founded in 1986 by Winthrop P. Rockefeller, TBF is the world's leading non-profit organization dedicated to conserving billfish and associated species worldwide which helps insure healthy oceans and strong coastal economies. TBF's signature research project remains its traditional tag and release program that uses the efforts of anglers to provide data and research to scientists and fisheries managers. The organization also funds fisheries science and economic research to improve management of billfish and is tenacious in working with nations to improve enforcement. TBF works to educate adults, including government decision makers, and children of the importance of catch-and-release fishing and responsible use of all ocean resources. The Foundation is the world's leading advocate providing legislators and governments with the best science possible to make the meaningful conservation decisions for billfish.

SUPPORT THE GURKHAS
World Information Sea Fishing Maps Blog.
These men are The Gurkhas, some of you may know them, if not this is a little about them...

They are as brave as any soldier and as feared as the Paras and the SAS, their Motto is "Better to die than be a coward". In their time with the British thousands have died and the regiment has won 13 Victoria Crosses.
All they are asking is to come and live in this country which they have served loyally and without hesitation.
So please go to this website and register and lend your support, maybe just maybe the British Goverment may act -
