Captain Thom Pelletier, an associate at Quaker Lane Outfitters, North Kingstown said, "Monofilament line on reels should be replaced each year" as the line has memory and can become a tangled mess quickly whereas braid line can last for a couple of years. Captain Thom poses with a display of his fluke rigs in the background.
Big fish are caught in early spring when you get your gear ready for the fishing season. When you are out fishing it is too late to make sure your rod, reel, line and fishing tackle is in shape to handle that big fish. And, there is nothing more frustrating than spending an hour or more of fishing time getting the day's tackle ready.
So, before you start to fish, get your gear ready. Here are some tips from the pros on how to get your gear ready along with the drill that I use every year to prepare for the fishing season.
Each year, replace most used line. This is a judgment call as to what is meant by "used". Three out of eight of my rigs with braid line are showing signs of wear… they are a bit frayed. Two of them need all the line replaced, one of them which has plenty of line on it just needs the worn line at the beginning of the spool taken off. Ken Ferrara of Ray's Bait & Tackle, Warwick said, "A lot of guys cross braid line when spooling onto conventional reels to prevent the line from digging into the spool when a big fish is on." Ken also suggests re-spooling lead line putting the used portion on the reel first, "This way you use line that is new as most anglers rarely use more than three to four colors (90' to 120') of line." I plan to replace all of my reels with monofilament line. Some anglers put new line on two to three times a season depending on use. Monofilament line has memory so it tangles easily and creates bird nest tangles when it is old or has been sitting in the cold for a while. Also stretch the line, the first 100 feet (of monofilament line) to relax its memory and avoid tangles. When you change any type of line it is important to spool tight or the line may slip on the spool.
Give your reels a good cleaning, particularly when the line is off. Grease where directed by manufacturer, often times, the reel is marked where to do this. If instructions are long gone do not hesitate to stop by your local bait or tackle shop to ask where to grease. Do not be afraid to ask questions, that is what they are there for. By the way, do not grease the drag, it is not meant to be greased, if you do, it will not work. John Littlefield of Archie's Bait & Tackle, Riverside, RI, said, "Anglers often forget to put oil on the line guide worm gear on bait caster reels as this is can go a long way allowing the gear to perform properly throughout its lifetime." John says that he charges $10 to $15 to clean and grease your average spinning reel. Archie's Bait & Tackle has a new location this year at 292 Bullocks Point Road, Riverside, RI. This time of year the store is open for business 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. most days. Call 401.437.2630 if you have any questions.
Use wire leaders for blue fish and monofilament or fluorocarbon for striped bass. Blues won't bite though the wire and striped bass will find it harder to see the monofilament or fluorocarbon leaders. Make sure leaders have no nicks or stress marks from fish pulling. If they do, replace them. I switched most of my hooks to circle hooks, I did this so I can safely catch and release undersized or unwanted fish (particularly striped bass). Circle hooks are designed to hook the fish at the corner of the mouth and not down in the belly. All hooks should be sharp and rust free. Ken at Ray's Bait recommends VMC hooks as they do not rust and come in all types and sizes.
Opening day is Saturday, April 9, 6:00 a.m. for salmon, trout and charr. Get you gear ready. Licenses are required for anglers fifteen (15) years of age and older. You can purchase a fishing license at city and town halls as well as at license agents. Visit the Department of Environmental Management's web site for a list of agents, a list of trout waters that have been stocked, "Kids Only" ponds and much more at http://www.dem.ri.gov/ .

The Rhode Island Marine Fisheries Council met last week and approved many saltwater recreational fishing regulation recommendations for the 2011 season. The recommendations have been passed along to Janet Coit, director of the Department of Environmental Management (DEM), for her consideration and approval. A final decision on most regulations is expected to occur by month's end.
Here are four popular species targeted by recreational anglers and what was recommended by the council.
Striped bass regulation recommendations are the same as last year or as the recommendation reads "status quo"… two fish/angler/day and a size limit of 28" or larger with an open season.
The Fluke (summer flounder) bio mass has rebuilt nicely so the recommendation is to loosen regulations to seven fish/angler/day (up one fish per day from last year) at a minimum size of 18 ½" (was 19 ½" last year) with a May 1 to December 31 season. A new twist (that may or may not be approved) is that for shore anglers only, one of the seven fish can be 16 ½". The Rhode Island Saltwater Anglers Association (RISAA) advocated for this special shore angler recommendation.
The scup bio mass is rebuilding nicely too. The council approved a status quo recommendation which is a ten fish/angler/day limit with a 10.5" size limit and a season from May 24 to September 25. Party and charter boats have an 11" size limit with a June 8 to September 6 season at ten fish/angler/day and a September 7 to October 11 season at a 40 fish/angler/day limit.
Tautog is being managed more carefully with reduced split seasons and the same size limit of 16"… April 15 to May 31 and then August 1 to October 15, both at a three fish/day limit and then a six fish/day limit from October 16 to December 15. A twelve fish per vessel limit is recommended which does not apply to charter and party boasts along with an eight fish per angler limit for those fishing on charter and party boats.
As related, all of the above RIMFC recommendations are expected to be considered with approved regulations being made by Janet Coit, DEM director, by the end of month.
Lisa DiRaimo, executive director of the Rhode Island Marine Trades Association and their Boat Works for Rhode Island initiative, said, "We have participated in the RISAA fishing show for a number of years. Attendance this year was great." Boat Works has over 180 member companies and institutions including marine training schools and programs, boat manufactures, marine support industries and supply firms. Ms. DiRaimo said, "With a mission of marine industry advocacy, education and job development we had a lot of interest at the booth in regard to the new boating tax proposed by the governor as well as questions about the education and job opportunities in the marine industry." Boats Work for Rhode Island is a workforce development initiative that advocates for some of Rhode Island's greatest assets… Narragansett Bay, the Atlantic Ocean and the marine industry. According to a recent study quoted by Boats Work for Rhode Island, the marine industry has over 2,000 businesses, 6,600 jobs and generates $260-million in wages in Rhode Island (the industry represents nearly 10% of all private employers in Rhode Island).
Rhode Island's recreational saltwater license program took effect in 2010. It provides recreational saltwater anglers and spear fishermen with a convenient, cost-effective way to meet new federal requirements without having to register federally. The cost of the license is $7 per year for RI residents and $10 per year for non-residents (compared to a $15 cost for a federal license). A temporary seven-day license is also available for $5. The license is free for anglers who are over 65 years of age and for active military personnel who are stationed in RI. No license is required of anglers under 16 years of age, for anglers fishing on licensed charter and party boats, for anglers who are on leave from active military duty, and for anglers who are blind or permanently disabled.
The license program is expected to generate better data to manage fisheries at the state, regional and federal level. Recreational anglers are now accessible for surveys and studies because contact information will be available. Better data and science helps fish mangers do a better job as policy is based on more facts rather than projections.
If you registered last year you must register again this year. Licenses can be obtained online at: http://www.saltwater.ri.gov/. Licenses may also be obtained at participating vendors, which are listed on the website.
The Senate has approved a resolution sponsored by Sen. V. Susan Sosnowski calling on the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) to involve fishermen in the development of offshore energy projects.Senator Sosnowski is the chairwoman of the Senate Task Force on Fisheries, which was established to provide a forum for individuals and organizations in the fishing community to present their ideas and the challenges they face.
In her resolution (2011-S0137), Sosnowski requested that BOEMRE include official representation of offshore fishermen on the Rhode Island Offshore Renewable Energy Task Force."Offshore fishermen should certainly be included on a task force that is making decisions that could affect their livelihoods," said Senator Sosnowski. "This will provide many opportunities for them to participate in all review and permitting phases of offshore renewable energy projects and outline how, exactly, these projects could affect the fishing industry in the state."The resolution also calls on the BOEMRE to establish a mitigation policy for all offshore development projects that would require developers to provide mitigation to fishermen who are negatively impacted by these projects.
The New England Saltwater Fishing Show (nesaltwatershow.com ), the largest of its type in the Northeast, will have over three-hundred fishing related companies displaying, two-hundred of companies will be selling products offering show specials and discounted show prices.

Last week the RI Senate Special Task Force on Fisheries heard testimony on how to bring fresh RI fish to markets in State. The Task Force heard testimony from Perry Raso of Matunuck Oyster Farm. Mr. Raso testified to some of the challenges fishermen have and the difficulties they encounter to bring their catch to market. Janet Coit, director of the Department of Environmental Management (DEM) attended the meeting along with a number of Senate Task Force Committee members as Mr. Raso related the need for an enhanced DEM inspection staff to handle important fishery inspections required by Federal and Regional fishing regulators. I will continue to report on Task Force activities as their work develops.
Senator V. Susan Sosnowski's Special Senate Task Force on Fisheries has taken on two big issues this winter on behalf of fishermen…wind power and bringing their catch to market…fresh. Both issues are on the front burner; here is how the Task Force is addressing them.
At the first meeting of the Fisheries Task Force on December 6, 2010, a number of witnesses (fishermen) raised concerns about the potential impacts the development of offshore wind projects could have on the fishing industry and fish resources. This testimony has resulted in a resolution that is being discussed and possibly voted on this week by the Rhode Island Senate Environment and Agriculture Committee which is also chaired by Senator Sosnowski. The resolution respectfully requests the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOEMRE) to comprehensively involve Fishermen in the development of offshore energy projects.
Captain Rick Belavance, president of the Rhode Island Party & Charter Boat Association, said, "A void existed between the new federal BOEMRE bureau, the State's Ocean SAMP and fishermen. We had input into planning through the SAMP process but the Deepwater Wind project double in size over night and was located in prime fishing grounds without input from fishermen". Chris Brown, a Rhode Island commercial fisherman and past present of the Commercial Fisheries Center of RI, said, "Fishermen were left out of the loop with no input to where this wind project was sited." The resolution asks the Rhode Coastal Resource Management Council within the Ocean SAMP program to be a conduit that brings fishermen's concerns to BOEMRE. The resolution can be found at http://www.rilin.state.ri.us//BillText11/SenateText11/S0137.pdf . Will report on the outcome of the resolution next week.
The Special Senate Task Force on Fisheries has had two meetings on bringing locally caught fresh fish to market in Rhode Island. The first was held on February 9 and a second on March 2 to hear testimony on how to bring fish caught by Rhode Island fishermen to market here in the state. The idea is to provide Rhode Islanders with better access to fresh, wholesome and nutritious native caught Rhode Island fish and to provide fishermen with better access (and possibly more direct access) to Rhode Island markets so they can earn more for their catch with fewer middlemen involved.
On February 9 the Task Force heard testimony from a variety of State agencies, companies engaged in fishing, processing of fish and/or the marketing of fish and Farm Fresh Rhode Island. Highlights of the meeting included the following.
Mark Gibson from the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management testified about the condition of our fishery in Rhode Island. Species by species he thumb nailed the current status and/or relative health of commercially harvested fish… fluke (or summer flounder), monk fish, cod, striped bass, scup and most others seem to be in good health. Scup was singled out as a species that is very "abundant" and a species we could plan to harvest aggressively if a commercial market existed. Lobster fishing in Rhode Island was the only fishery that was down to a very low historical level. The lobster industry was characterized as a fishery in trouble.
Senator Sosnowski said, "We had Kevin Adams from Alaska talk about a proposed regional marketing approach, and other enthusiastic presenters." This week the committee will hear testimony from Perry Raso of Matunuck Oyster Farm as well as public testimony on how local seafood products are marketed and distributed as well as ways to bring fish to market in Rhode Island. How to educate consumers about the benefits of eating local seafood to increase demand will also be discussed. Highlights of this second marketing committee meeting, which took place Wednesday night will be covered next week.
Advisory panels of the Rhode Island Marine Fisheries Council made their 2011 saltwater fishing regulation recommendations this Tuesday, February 15 at a public meeting. Recommendations will now be finalized by DEM and the Council for formal recommendation to the Director of DEM. Due to a healthy fluke (summer flounder) fishery the recommendation approved by the Director will likely be more liberal than last year. The proposal that garnered most support at the public hearing was proposed the Rhode Island Saltwater Anglers Association which was seven fish/day/angler with a minim size of 18 ½" (last year's limit was 19 ½"). An interesting twist this year was that for shore anglers only, one of the seven fish could be 16 ½ " . Striped bass recommendation was status quo… two fish/angler/day with a minimum size of 28". Will relate highlights of the new regulations once they are approved by the Director which is expected to occur this month.
The Fish and Wildlife Division will hold public workshops in Providence and Tiverton to discuss the proposed 2012-2013 freshwater fishing seasons and the 2011-2012 hunting seasons. Proposed changes to Parks and Management Area Regulations will also be heard. Public workshops will be held on Tuesday, March 29 at DEM headquarters in the Foundry Building at 235 Promenade Street in Providence, and on Wednesday, March 30 at the Tiverton Rod and Gun Club, 1529 Fish Road in Tiverton. Both workshops will take place at 7 p.m.
A public hearing on the proposed regulations will be held on Wednesday, June 1 at 7 p.m. in the Warwick Police Department's Community Room at 99 Veteran's Memorial Drive in Warwick. Copies of the draft regulations will be available at the public workshops.

March 22, West Bay Anglers striped bass seminar by Charley Soars on fishing for bass with live bait, Sherman Elementary School, Warwick, RI. Reserve tickets ($10) at 401.463.7532.
March 25-27, Shallow Water Striper University, Sheraton Airport Motor Inn, Warwick, RI. Contact Debbie Wood at Wood Boat & Motor, 401-739-4040 or visit www.shallowwaterstripers.com .
Charley Soares with a large bass he caught using live bait will be guest speaker at a March 22, 6:30 p.m. seminar for the West Bay Anglers. The seminar called "Live baits for trophy bass" will take place at Sherman Elementary School, 120 Kelley Avenue, Warwick, RI.
For the past two weeks I reported what organizations, bureaus, captains, anglers and scientist felt was happing to striped bass. No one knows what is happening to the bass for sure. But here is an analysis of what they had to say and what we might be able to do to preserve the species.
What we do know is that striped bass have declined in Narragansett Bay and along the coastal shore in Rhode Island as related by hundreds of anglers. We also know that from the "Young of the Year" survey in the Chesapeake that small fish are on the decline but not at critical levels. We also know that environment and weather conditions can impact fish (and striped bass). Bob Wood, biologist for the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), has conducted research that focuses not so much on the fish but on the weather. He believes the weather pattern in the North Atlantic called the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) is responsible for the wide swings in striper populations.
We also know that fishing captains and guides, commercial fisherman and lobstermen, particularly those that fish the ocean have spotted thousands of striped bass in large schools in places they normally have not been seen before. Also, all last summer anglers and captains consistently reported a strong bass bite at and around Block Island. We also heard from lobstermen that the striped bass were plentiful and became a nuisance by eating lobsters and bait in pots.
So what is one to think, are striped bass in decline or not? I do believe they are on the decline, along the RI coast and in Narragansett Bay. It may be due to the overly wet weather, cloudy water, warm water and/or the AMO effect related above which effects food supply and bait. Coastal waters, bays and rivers are affected by these factors differently than the open ocean. The decline may be a natural cycle too of a fall, a rise and leveling off of a species.
I spoke with Captain John Brierley who is a commercial striped bass fisherman on Buzzards Bay. John believes we may never know the cause of recent striper decline however he does have a few thoughts about what we can do. John said, "I doubt we will learn in the near future the real cause of the decline. So with the upcoming season we all need to do what we can. Maybe it is as simple as asking the guy who wants a full bag limit 'when and who is going to eat (those fish)'… Or maybe it is using circle hooks and being more knowledgeable in the release (or) maybe you don't put as much fertilizer on your lawn this year.
Dr. Chris Anderson, chairman of the State of Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management Marine fisheries Striped Bass Advisory Panel believes said, "Many young undersized school striped bass die each year due to poor catch and release tactics". Dr. Anderson related that thousand of fish are caught in the upper Bay, in rivers and coves in Rhode Island that if released properly would live.
So do your part to preserve striped bass, take only the fish you will eat, taking two fish each outing may not be the thing to do. Additionally, use circle hooks to protect the fish from deadly gut hooks and consider the below catch and release tactics. NOAA also recently published a catch and release pamphlet which can be found at www.nmfs.noaa.gov/ .
One way to save bass is to use circle hooks. Here's how they work…after the hook (and bait) are swallowed by the fish and it starts to run, the hook is pulled out of the stomach and slides toward the point of resistance on the fish's jaw or lip and embeds itself in the corner of the fish's mouth.
Circle hooks successfully hook bass in the mouth 95% of the time. The trick is not to jerk the rod to set the hook. Let the fish run and it will pull the hook out of its stomach and hook itself on the lip. Once this happens the fish is hooked so all you have to do is start fighting the fish and reeling it in. Ask your local bait & tackle shop for circle hooks and/or purchase rigs that have circle hooks.
To release undersized or large egg bearing striped bass (and other species) unharmed and/or to practice "catch and release" consider these techniques (most of them are courtesy of the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, Division of Fish and Wildlife).
1. Use circle hooks, they successfully hook bass in the mouth (not the gut) 95% of the time without hurting the fish.
3. Avoid putting fish on deck and letting it flop around, keep it in the water as much as possible when removing hook.
5. Handle fish carefully. Do not use excessive force when grasping the fish. Do not put fingers into gill cavities or eye sockets.
8. Return fish to water quickly. Place fish gently in water in upright horizontal position. Move it back and forth in the water to force water across its gills. Once the fish revives, allow it to swim away.
The DEM Marine Fisheries Tautog Advisory Panel met last week and approved their final recommendations to the DEM Director for the 2011 season. Fish must be 16" (same as last year). Three fish/day/person are allowed for the split season from April 15 to May 31 and then from August 1 to October 15; from October 16 to December, 15 the recommendation is six fish/person/day. There is a private boat limit of twelve fish/vessel during all periods.
The Department of Environmental Management is stocking rainbow trout in ponds for the winter ice-fishing season. This week they will finish stocking a total of 3,000-4,000 rainbow trout in six ponds.
Ponds to include Barber Pond in South Kingstown, Silver Spring Lake in North Kingstown, Olney Pond in Lincoln, Stafford Pond in Tiverton, Round Top Ponds in Burrillville, and Carbuncle Pond in Coventry are being stocked with rainbow trout. The hatchery-raised trout weigh between one and two pounds each. The US Fish and Wildlife Service's Nashua, New Hampshire federal hatchery provided DEM with 150 surplus domestic Atlantic salmon broodstock which will be stocked in Olney Pond, Carbuncle Pond, and Barber Pond.
Don Villani of East Greenwich, RI caught this striped bass north off Conimicut Point, Warwick on No Fluke Charters last spring. Fish like this were in lower numbers this year signally a striper decline for many in Narragansett Bay and along coastal RI shores.
Striped bass are a valued species, both for sport fishing and food. Striped bass are as highly managed today as they were in the past. They were the subject of our first conservation laws… in 1639 Massachusetts forbade the use of the fish for fertilizer, in the 1660's they were the focus of our first environmental impact statement and passage of the Natural Environmental Policy Act.
According to a Rhode Island Saltwater Anglers Association (RISAA) study, recreational fishing has a $160,000,000 annual economic impact on Rhode Island. There are more recreational striped bass fishing trips in Rhode Island than any other species (my personal observation). So striped bass play an important role in Rhode Island's recreational fishery and economy.
Last week this column reported on striper decline. Anglers, fishing captains (particularly those fishing Narragansett Bay and coastal Rhode Island shores), said the striped bass fishery is on a terrible decline. Many say their catch is down by 30 to 40%, yet scientists, fishery managers and some captains say the fishery may be down but by no means is it crashing. Other captains say they caught more fish than ever before off Block Island and have seen large numbers in Federal waters where they cannot fish for them legally. And, offshore lobsterman say striped bass have been more abundant in traps than ever before (they are considered a nuisance because they eat valuable lobster bait in traps).
Last week and this week, I asked striped bass experts, "Are striped bass in decline?" and what do you think about the recent NPR story on striped bass. Here's what they had to say.
Christopher Joyce did an NPR story on striper decline highlighting the work of Bob Wood, biologist for the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Wood's research focuses not so much on the fish but on the weather. He believes the weather pattern in the North Atlantic called the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) is responsible for the wide swings in striper populations.
Wood explains, "… if you warm the entire North Atlantic basin, you're changing the weather because the air and circulation patterns above the ocean are affected." Ed Martino, a fisheries scientist at NOAA, said, "You are talking about a difference in temperature and precipitation, and therefore river flow or salinity, ultimately all affecting the base of the food chain… It's the way that the climate affects the microscopic plankton." Plankton are the tiny plants and animals in water, and that's what spring striped bass eat.
Reporter Joyce relates that when it's in a warm phase, springtime along the East Coast tends to be wet and cool with more rain, more water and more food. In the years following that phase striper numbers tend to go up. Then the AMO flips, drier springs bring less rain, less food and after a lag, it looks like striper numbers start to decline. Records for the past 100 years of fishing show this trend.
Striped bass have not been as plentiful for the past four years. Wood said, "and it just so happens this is also the time when the AMO seems to be in a switching phase". This switch is bad for stripers so the decline now and the one in the 1980's could be attributed to these down cycles.
I think this study is a breakthrough for fishery managers in the way they look at what is impacting data. They should consider what role (if any) AMO or weather patterns play in the growth or decline of fish populations. Also it begs the question as to how they should evaluate and implement the learnings of such research and data in the future.
The question of whether or not striped bass are in decline will be covered in future columns.
The West Bay Anglers will hold a series of striped bass seminars by Charley Sores Tuesday, March 22, 2011, 6:30 p.m. at the Sherman Elementary School, Warwick, RI. Topics to include fishing with a variety of live baits (part one of the seminar) as well as how to locate and catch stripers between boulders (part two). Reserve tickets ($10) at 401.463.7532.
Shallow Water Striper University is March 25, 26, and 27 at the Sheraton Airport Motor Inn, Warwick, RI. This weekend long event features some of the best local professionals who make their living catching big striped bass. Registration for this event is $89. for the entire weekend. There will also be charter trips give-a-ways, raffles, prizes, and more. Contact Debbie Wood at Wood Boat & Motor, 401-739-4040 or visit www.shallowwaterstripers.com .
The State Senate Task Force on Fisheries chaired by Senator Susan Sosnowski met last week to hear presentations on the marketing of Rhode Island fish. Over seven individuals from DEM, the RI Department of Economic Development as well as fish industry experts with knowledge on how to bring fresh fish to market made presentations. More on this in the future.
The more I ask "Where have all the striped bass gone?, the more I realize the question should be "What is happening to the striped bass?" In the past year, a lot has happened to striped bass. They have been in the news more times than I can count. Many noted anglers and fishing captains say the fish are on the decline, yet there is evidence from some scientists, captains and anglers that bass may just not be where they normally are but are feeding in areas where anglers do not fish.
In this and subsequent columns this month, I will recap what I have heard and read and what some experts have to say about striped bass. But first, a little history and a few facts about striped bass.
Striped bass tolerate both salt and fresh water. They live in the ocean but spawn up rivers. In the spring striped bass prefer a temperature range of 55 to 68 degrees. Females grow larger than males. Most bass over fifteen pounds are female and can produce a million eggs for each ten pounds of weight. So rather than keeping the big fish, anglers are urged to release them to help preserve the fishery.
A fish 30" can weigh 11 to 16 pounds and be 8 to 14 years old. A 40" fish can weigh 24 to 35 pounds and be 13 to 25 years old.
This summer fishing writer Tim Coleman wrote in an editorial titled "New England's coming striped bass collapse" that he and area shore anglers believed striped bass fishing has been substantially down for the past three to five years. Steve McKenna a noted shore angler from Cranston, RI said his bass landings were down 40% (Steve like many avid anglers practice catch and release), Richard Kalinoski of Little Compton, RI, said his landings were down over 60%. So anglers who normally land five hundred fish a year, were now landing two hundred fish a year. In addition to those fishing from coastal Rhode Island shores, anglers fishing Narragansett Bay from shore and in boats were down substantially too.
While the controversy over striper decline continues, the species continues to make the news in ways that can shed light on the issue.
· Small bass killed as commercial fisherman up-grade their catch impacts the amount of available young. Last month news and video footage (on YouTube) became available of North Carolina commercial trawlers tossing thousands of dead striped bass overboard as they "high-grade" for the largest bass while staying within their legal 50 fish limit. In an article for the Examiner newspaper, Captain Kelly, a top striper fishing guide on the Outer Banks said, "…It's an atrocity … It's gone on before but I think this was the first time it was in front of such a large crowd". Last week we heard that the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries will replace the current 50-fish a day commercial trip limit with a 2,000 pound a day limit. This will encourage commercial trawlers to keep all fish, up to a 2,000 limit rather than culling their catch looking for 50 large fish.
· Poaching of all types impacts the species. Poaching by anyone, recreational or commercial fishermen, has a negative impact on a fishery.This fall the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) charged Albert Reeves of Rehoboth, MA with poaching striped bass. DEM said they had information that Reeves was illegally taking over limits of striped bass in Rhode Island and selling them in Massachusetts and that he had the extra fish in a hidden compartment on his boat. The officers stopped him while driving on Route 1 in Rhode Island after fishing. Officers found a secret compartment that opened hydraulically with eleven (11) illegal fish (in addition to the two legal fish he had in his possession).
Poaching in the Chesapeake kills fish that would normally find their way north to Rhode Island and beyond. Last week the Maryland DNR shut down the February striped bass gill net season after confiscating more than ten tons of illegally caught striped bass in two days. The illegal fish (over 20,000 pounds of our striped bass) came from four illegally anchored gill nets in the Chesapeake Bay. Authorities are concerned about the extent of the poaching and shut things down to investigate. These young bass are the very fish that migrate north to Rhode Island and New England, poaching such as this in the Chesapeake can have a huge impact on our fishery.
This series on striped bass will continue next week.
Jim Shriner (right) owner of Mill Creek Marine, and his some Jamie Shriner (left), at the Providence Boat show where they were showing Eastern boats and introducing their new rack storage facility at Allen's Harbor in North Kingstown, RI.
The first dry stack marina in Rhode Island is about to open at Allen's Harbor, North Kingstown, RI this spring. Mill Creek Marine (formerly Johnson's Boatyard in Wickford) will open the first dry stack marina with an initial capacity of 72 boats up to 38' in length. Dry stack storage is a popular concept in Florida and other warmer climates particularly where coastal shoreline for marinas is limited.
The cost of the service is $185/foot/year which is all inclusive of dry stack storage and launch service for the entire year. So, if you like the idea for dropping your boat off at the dock and not having a lot of cleaning to do or preparation work before getting underway… dry stack storage may be for you.
Mill Creek Marine Inc. is a complete marine service company. They are an authorized serve center for Mercury/Mercruiser, Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda and Evinrude. They also carry used and new boats. Eastern is one of the new boat lines they carry. Visit their web site at www.millcreekmarine.com. or call Jim Shriner and his staff at 401.294.3700.
Don't forget the annual East Bay Anglers' Fishing Expo taking place January 30th, 2011 at Barrington High School. Tickets are just $15 and can be purchased by visiting the show website at www.rifishshow.com .
Speaker Dave Pickering, noted shore angler, has landed more than 50,000 stripers during his career and he has created an entirely new show to share his secrets. Mike Laptew, renowned as a diver-fisherman, brings a fish-eye perspective to underwater action with his bubble-free diving method that enables him to capture underwater views of striper life never seen before. I have listened to both speakers before, they are well worth seeing.
Discounted fishing gear will be available at the flea market which opens to shoppers at 11:00 a.m. Presentations start at 1:00 p.m. For more information visit www.rifishshow.com or call show organizer Will Barbeau at 401.245.8375.
Steve Medeiros, president of the Rhode Island Saltwater Anglers Association (RISAA), recently announced that the association has a full public policy agenda for 2011. In addition to introducing RISAA to a new governor, DEM director and general assembly, regulatory and public policy issues on the front burner this year include weighing in on management of the menhaden fishery as well as fishing regulations in general which will likely change. Steve Medeiros relates we can expect changes in fishing regulations, possibly an increase in fluke allotment which would likely mean enhanced bag limits and reduced size limits, and unfortunately. possibly tighter limits on other fisheries not doing as well such as scup and black sea bass. RISAA will also continue to advocate for the State's artificial reef program, as well as for public access to the shoreline and public fishing piers.
Ocean wind farms good... but at what cost?
"The Deepwater Wind farm site doubled in size (to 200 turbines) and changed locations without input from fishermen. It will restrict fishing and could eliminate over $20,000,000 million in fish taken from the area.", said Rick Bellavance, president of the Rhode Island Party and Charter Boat Association. "The wind turbines are located all around Cox's Ledge and its fertile fishing edges, ledges and drop offs. The massive 270 square mile area taken will restricts commercial lobstering and fishing, tuna fishing and recreational fishing in the area… (the proposed wind farm) will also act as a blockage forcing vessels to add thousands of dollars in fuel to their fishing season as they try to get to fishing grounds on the east and south sides of Cox's Ledge.", Bellavance said. The Cox's Ledge area is one of the most fertile fishing areas in the Northeast.
Eighteen months ago, commercial and recreational fishing thought leaders in Rhode Island expressed concern over the consequences of spatial planning (zoning our ocean waters). The State of Rhode Island under the leadership of the Coastal Resources Management Authority (CRMA) has been a pioneer in this county's effort to zone our ocean waters under their nationally acclaimed Special Area Management Plan (SAMP). Just as cities and towns zone land for use i.e. commercial, industrial, residential the oceans would be zoned for various uses as well as to insure sustainable and equitable use for commercial and recreational uses of all types. The biggest concern of fisherman was simply that the SAMP could translate into the elimination of many popular fishing areas.
The proposed expanded Deepwater Wind farm that developed without sighting input from the fishing community is a violation of the trust that had developed between fishermen, CRMA and Deepwater Wind said Bellavance. "We were blindsided, this has a big impact on fishing. Rhode Islanders may have to decide if they want windmills or fishing unless the wind turbines can be moved to areas that do not impact fishing this much.", Bellavance said.
John Rainone, past president of the Rhode Island Party & Charter Boat Association said in an article that appear in this column last year, "(spatial planning) is a way to stop recreational and commercial fishing in any areas that the government and special interest groups deem necessary." Through new federal policy that aims to facilitate the development of ocean wind mills and our SAMP program in Rhode Island, fishing may be restricted from an area equal to about 22% the land mass of Rhode Island and if the Neptune wind farm project (our second proposed project) moves forward as planned the area taken which fishing will be restricted in will be about 33%of Rhode Island's land mass according to a statement issued by Ted Platz, president of the Commercial Fisheries Center of Rhode Island (www.cfci.com).
Bellavance said, that what is particularly alarming is that these are just the first two wind projects proposed for Rhode Island… what about the third, fourth and fifth. What impact will they have?
What has allowed these projects to accelerate is a national policy that aims to reduce the amount of time it normally takes to site and develop an ocean wind farm from seven years to two years, cutting out a great deal of public comment and vetting time projects like this need and normally get. In December of 2010, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced plans to boost offshore wind power on the Atlantic Coast by identifying promising areas for development and then expediting the permitting process. Secretary Salazar said, "(the Atlantic wind farm initiative) will allow us to identify priority wind energy areas, improve cooperation with local, state and federal partners and accelerate the leasing process". In Rhode Island, Deepwater Wind has done just this. They ceased the opportunity to build a wind farm twice the size that was originally planned under the SAMP and changed its location without input from the fishing community. This new Federal policy allows private developers to utilize our ocean, a public resource, with a drastically shortened time for public comment and input. Input from the people (fishermen) that have been utilizing the resource for hundreds of years to provide fresh and wholesome seafood to Rhode Islanders.
I believe wind power is good, not bad. Just as the idea behind spatial planning is good as well as all the good work CRMA has done with the SAMP initiative However, I do believe we need to rebuild the trust between fisherman, CRMA and Deepwater Wind and move forward with a wind farm plan that presents the best use of the oceans for the common good… that allows fishermen, wind farms and others to use our ocean.
John Toppa of Newport with a 20 pound cod he caught on a Francis Fleet vessel New Year's Day. The cod was the largest fish caught on the boat that day.
Cod fishing is great for children too. Andrew Martin of Warwick went cod fishing New Year's Day with his uncle. That's a school vacation experience that will give him plenty of stories to tell when back in school.
Cod is an ideal species to target if fishing with children, because all they have to do is drop their line to the bottom. And, it is one of the most popular eating fish in New England. Cod are bottom fish that are basically lazy. They are not aggressively hunting, they pretty much stay on the bottom, often near structure (underwater wrecks, rock piles, holes, humps and drop offs), waiting for prey to come by. So you have to go to where the cod are to catch them. They are not likely going to come to you.
New Year's Day I went cod fishing with twenty other anglers on a Francis Fleet party boat. A coast guard inspected vessel that takes more than six people fishing is commonly referred to as a party boat. Cod fishing for a full day (7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) generally runs about $80 depending on whether or not you use the boats gear or your own. It takes about an hour to an hour and half to get to where the captain likes to fish for cod (usually Cox's Ledge if you leave from Point Judith, Rhode Island).
New Year's Day was perfect, it was in the 50 degree range, seas early in the day were about four to five feet, but they laid down as the day progressed. Most every one caught cod fish on this trip. I caught four fish and two were keepers (cod must be 22" or longer to keep them). Some on board caught three, four and five fish. One angler who used jigs to fish most of the day caught eight. The largest fish of the day was caught by John Toppa of Newport, Rhode Island. His fish was 35 inches and weighted about 20 pounds.
There were some anglers in their 60's and 70's and a number of them in their 20's and 30's and my favorite angler who I fished next to all day was Andrew Martin of Warwick who was thirteen years old. His uncle took him for this special fishing trip during holiday school vacation. He will have some good stories to tell when back in school. Overall it was a great fishing day on the water and a trip that I would recommend. Visit the Rhode Island Party & Charter Boat Association web site at www.rifishing.com for a complete list of vessels that fish for cod. Pick one with a heated cabin as it get pretty cold out on the ocean in January, February and March.
A hook, sinker weight that holds the bottom and sea clams are often used as bait to catch cod. Jigs of various sizes, color and weight depending on conditions are used too. Cod will generally eat anything that is in front of them, they are not picky, but you have to get their attendion and jigs usually do a good job of this. A common rig used is a diamond jig with a colored teaser buck tail tied about 12 inches above the jig. Anglers often tip the jig and buck tail with live bait (a piece of sea clam). Most anglers use a traditional boat rod and reel to catch cod. A short, sturdy 30 to 40 pound test rod of five to six feet is common with a traditional real of similar weight capacity. A fifty pound test line (both braid and monofilament) are used.
Captain Robb Roach of Kettlebottom Outfitters, Jamestown, RI has announced the publication of two new videos that are teasers for their new season of KBOP productions on Cox Sports. The teasers and a host of other videos can be viewed on YouTube or on demand if you have COX cable. One of the videos is about making fluke rigs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoM-dF-6Caw ) and the second one is about spear fishing for striped bass off Newport (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrSppgDpIZ0 ), both are great fun to watch.
A number of Rhode Island Marine Fisheries Panel meeting open to the public are scheduled for this month. Anglers are welcome and urged to attend as these meetings allow all anglers to provided input into State Fisheries policy. The meetings include a Menhaden Advisory Panel meting scheduled for Thursday, January 6, 2011, a Striped bass Advisory Panel scheduled for Wednesday, January 12 and a Scup and Black Sea Bas Advisory Panel meeting scheduled for Wednesday, January 26. All meetings are scheduled for 6:00 p.m. at the UREI Bay Campus, Coastal Institute, Hazard Room off of South Ferry Road in Narragansett, RI.

'The Orange Tree' and the Limitations of Poetry
Cliff Hanna
Hanna stresses the importance of the "child-vision" in Neilson's poetry and its connection to Neilson's idea of Love. Hanna argues that the two children in "The Orange Tree" represent the limitless unknowable area of Neilson's imagination which is ultimately linked to the divine entity the poet spent his life trying to find and understand. Neilson's poet-figure is able to understand but, despite this "totality of experience", he finds this understanding impossible to express.

Pilgrimage to Algeria: the Mecca of African Liberation, By Owei Lakemfa
That country, from its independence on July 5, 1962, opened its borders to all liberation fighters in Africa, giving them international security cover, military training, arms, funds and passports. From Nelson Mandela, Agostinho Neto of Angola, Mozambique's Samora Machel, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe to Amilcar Cabral of Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde, all major liberation fighters flocked to Algeria.
Dr. Nkosazana Clarice Dlamini Zuma, 67, is the Chairperson of the African Union Commission and a leader of the ruling African National Congress (ANC). She was Minister of Health under President Nelson Mandela, and then Minister of Home Affairs. She married incumbent South African President Jacob Zuma. She is one of the best known South Africans, and many speculate she wants to take a shot at the country's presidency. Yet she carries, with pride, an Algerian passport!
For African liberation fighters like Zuma, it is an honour to carry an Algerian passport. That country, from its independence on July 5, 1962, opened its borders to all liberation fighters in Africa, giving them international security cover, military training, arms, funds and passports. From Nelson Mandela, Agostinho Neto of Angola, Mozambique's Samora Machel, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe to Amilcar Cabral of Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde, all major liberation fighters flocked to Algeria. Preceding them was Franz Fanon, the medical doctor from Martinique in the Caribbean who authored famous liberation books like The Wretched of the Earth, Black Skin, White Masks, A Dying Colonialism and Towards the African Revolution. Fanon died an Algerian.
Amilcar Cabral, the Prophet of African liberation in 1969, said at The First Pan-African Festival held in Algiers: "Pick a pen and take note: the Muslims make the pilgrimage to Mecca, the Christians to the Vatican and the national liberation movements to Algiers!" With that, Algeria became known and generally accepted as the Mecca of African Liberation struggles.
As I write, no other country has done more for the on-going liberation of the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic (Western Sahara) from Moroccan occupation, than Algeria. The latter took the unprecedented step, forty years ago, of giving a large portion of its 159,000 square kilometre Tindouf Province to Saharawi refugees. Tindouf, with some 60,0000 Saharawi refugees, also hosts that country's exiled Government.
When the Algerians, three weeks ago, held an international symposium on "Algeria's contribution to the decolonisation of Africa", I felt honoured to have been invited. It was my fifth visit to the country and I looked forward to meeting people who sacrificed for the liberation of the continent, and was not disappointed. We flowed from all parts of the continent, including Congo Democratic Republic, Burkina Faso, Mali, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Cape Verde and Botswana. Participants included Theo-Ben Gurirab, ex-Namibian Prime Minister and former President of the United Nations General Assembly; Amara Essy, ex-Cote d'Voire Foreign Minister and former Secretary General of the African Union; Abdelhakim Gamal Abdelnasser, son of legendary revolutionary, Abdel Nasser of Egypt; Mrs. Maria Eugenia Neto, widow of President Agostinho Neto of Angola. There were daughters of African liberation including Irene Alexandra da Silva Neto, daughter of Neto; Boshigo Ntsi Rosinah Matlou, daughter of Jonas Matlou, ANC leader who opened missions in various countries and Dr. Sibusiso Mkwananzi, grand daughter of South African journalist-turned guerrilla fighter, Robert Resha.
…Ramtane Lamamra, who opened the conference, said Algeria remains true to its principles of freedom for all peoples, which was why it sheltered the Portuguese rebels who eventually overthrew dictatorship in their country in 1974. These principles, he said, also explain Algeria's solid support for Palestinian and Saharawi independence.
There were also several fighters trained in Algeria, and people inspired by the November 1, 1954 to March 18, 1962 Algerian Revolution, in which 500,000 French troops could not stop the revolution to topple 130 years of French rule. The French had declared Algeria part of France and had, in desperation, drowned the country in rivers of blood, killing some 1.5 million Algerians.
We were three from Nigeria: Senator Shehu Sani, retired Ambassador Browson Dede and I. Dede, 77, who had joined the Nigeria Foreign Service in 1964 and spent thirteen years at the AU, told the conference: "We must build the African economy; we must integrate. I don't know anywhere in the world where you produce goods and you cannot say how much you will sell it." He recalled being part of the delegation that visited former President Julius Nyerere to wind up the AU African Liberation Committee. The sage had told them that it was better to replace it with an AU Economic Liberation Committee. Nyerere, he said was right as Africa is in dire need of economic liberation.
Algerian Minister of State, Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Ramtane Lamamra, who opened the conference, said Algeria remains true to its principles of freedom for all peoples, which was why it sheltered the Portuguese rebels who eventually overthrew dictatorship in their country in 1974. These principles, he said, also explain Algeria's solid support for Palestinian and Saharawi independence.
Mrs. Neto relieved the Angolan war of independence: "Angola will never forget the help Algeria rendered us in fighting the Apartheid and Mobutu armies and mercenaries who tried to take the capital, Luanda. We cannot forget Fidel Castro who helped us secure our independence… We were about declaring independence when those forces advanced on Luanda. But we were able to hold out with weapons sent us by Algeria and the help of Cuba."
Mr. Abdelnasser said: "The Algerian Revolution was a good lesson to Egypt; it was based on the same principle as ours. Egypt will not forget France invading us; they wanted to stop the Egyptian revolution. We will not forget the role Algeria played after the 1967 war when our aircrafts were destroyed. I hope that Egypt will return to those days (The Nasser period). Egypt is an African country; the Nile comes from Africa; our lives are tied to Africa." He advocated for an Africa based on social justice and that serves the people and guarantee them a better future. "We should not give room for our enemies to divide Africa. They used to send armies to occupy our continent, now they don't need any armies because they can use our people. We need to unite."
We ended the two-day meeting committing ourselves to the liberation of Palestine and Western Sahara, pledging to enhance Pan Africanism, and ensuring that Africa speaks for herself.
Mr. Essy praised Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika for his decisive leadership style that has ensured Algeria's leading role in Africa. He recalled that it was under Bouteflika's chairmanship of the UN General Assembly that Apartheid South Africa was expelled from the United Nations.
Mr. Jackou Sanoussi Tambary, Special Adviser to the President of Niger Republic with the rank of Minister, was a student in France when the Algerian armed struggle broke. He became a volunteer campaigner for Algeria. He said on one occasion, he persuaded a lady to support the Algerian struggle rather than France. He did not only succeed, but she also ended up marrying her.
Mohammed Bounaama, former Algerian National Library Conservator, said, "There are two major crimes in the world; the crime against human rights and crimes against memory; genocide and memorycide". He informed that as part of its struggles to conserve its history, the country has, through diplomatic means, been able to retrieve some of its archives from France.
Owei Lakemfa, former Secretary General of African Workers is a Human Rights activist, journalist and author.

Broadcast makes a play for young viewers
Mar 12, 2001 • Post A Comment
Perhaps more perilous than some of Buzz Lightyear's animated adventures out in space, there's an ever-growing black hole sucking out kids viewers from the broadcast universe and into the cable dimension-largely run by those pesky gremlins at Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network.
The six broadcast networks' Saturday and Sunday morning kids lineups have suffered an overall 25 percent drop in the core children 2 to 11 demographic this season, posting a combined 3.0 rating/13 share average, according to Nielsen Media Research national data (NTI, Sept. 4, 2000-Feb. 25, 2001). On top of a 42 percent slide for the broadcasters' weekday afternoon and morning lineups this season (averaging a 1.4/8 in kids 2 to 11), the overall seven-day menu of kids programming on broadcast is down 39 percent to a 1.7/10 in the key kids demo for the season to date.
Meanwhile, it's those upstart, branded, full-service kids cable networks-Nickelodeon (4.0/21), Cartoon Network (1.6/7) and Disney Channel (1.2/6)-racking up average 20 percent increases in kids 2 to 11 across their seven-day rotations this season. Amid the double-digit yearly rating decreases for the broadcast networks, CBS's replayed Nick Jr. lineup is the lone exception with 157 percent growth in kids 2 to 11 (1.8/9) and a 256 percent jump in kids 2 to 5 (3.2/15).
While the trend of broadcast erosion is somewhat in keeping with the adult migration in prime time to cable, the kids broadcast networks are still delivering the kind of mass appeal programs-such as "Pokemon" and "X-Men" on Kids' WB, "Digimon" on Fox Kids Network and "Recess" on ABC-to rival their cable competitors. Armed with large multimillion-dollar production budgets, and actively seeking to identify the next merchandising and licensing hits, the broadcast players still have a few tricks up their sleeves to potentially bring kids back to the over-the-air side of the medium.
Kids' WB: `Cubix' to the rescue
More than 21/2 years ago, Kids' WB found its cornerstone ratings engine in "Pokemon," but the show has dropped nearly one-third of its viewership this season. Ash and his furry friends still hold the top-ranked Saturday morning positions in the TV universe in the core boys 6 to 11 (7.5/26) and boys 2 to 11 demos (6.1/21) despite slippage in those demos and others.
"Undoubtedly, there has been some decline in `Pokemon's' [rating] numbers, but it is still the No. 1 broadcast show in kids 2 to 11 and an incredibly strong franchise for this network," said Donna Friedman, president of the Kids' WB network. "The focus will continue to be on Ash and their core quest, but there will be a new title and 52 fresh episodes coming into the mix to refresh the show for next season."
With Kids' WB's Saturday morning lineup down 25 percent this season in the broad kids 2 to 11 measure (3.0/13) and 28 percent in the coveted boys 6 to 11 demo (4.8/20), Ms. Friedman is far from standing pat and is looking at the immediate midseason to make some changes. Among a pair of midseason new series announcements Ms. Friedman has planned is "Cubix," a computer-generated imaging series about robots that was one of the hottest merchandising properties to come out of last month's Toy Fair in New York.
Ms. Friedman, who would not say whether she plans to launch "Cubix" in April or during the May sweeps, may be banking on the pedigree and backing behind the Japanese-made show. "Cubix" comes from 4Kids Entertainment, the same merchandising/licensing company that secured the U.S. rights to "Pokemon" for licensing to Kids' WB a couple of seasons ago. As it did with "Pokemon," Kids' WB's parent company, Warner Bros. Pictures, may be looking to fashion a broader relationship with 4Kids Entertainment to produce a "Cubix" motion picture tie-in if the series pans out in the ratings.
For next season, Kids' WB is adding its first-ever live-action series and four new animated series for its Saturday and weekday schedules.
New series joining the 8 a.m. to noon (ET) Saturday schedule are "The Nightmare Room," a live-action series based on R.L. Stine's books about nightmarish tales becoming real-life occurrences; "The Mummy," an animated series based on the hit Universal Pictures theatrical; and "Cubix," a Japanese-made computer-generated animated series about a boy and his robot, from 4Kids Entertainment.
For the weekday morning (7 a.m. to 8 a.m.) rotation, Kids' WB is adding "Rescue Heroes: Global Response Team," an animated series from Nelvana Entertainment; and "Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century," a proclaimed "FCC-friendly" series from DIC Entertainment and Scottish Television.
Fox Kids Network
Some questions in the ad-buying community linger on the future direction of Fox Kids Network in light of Saban Entertainment Chairman Haim Saban exercising his "put" option on selling his half-ownership stake in Fox Kids Worldwide Inc. back to Fox and News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch. Although it has cast a shadow on Fox Kids Network's ongoing operations, FKN President Maureen Smith is nonetheless pushing forward with an aggressive development slate of up to a half-dozen new series for midseason and next fall.
Of particular concern is whether FKN's agreement with affiliates to roll back its weekday afternoon lineup an hour-from its long-standing 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. (ET) rotation to a 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. schedule-will be negatively impacted by lower kids PUT (people using television) levels in the earlier hour. Already, Kids' WB's Ms. Friedman suggested the earlier start is going to make her network "more of a dominant player" in the 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. time slot.
"Certainly, the number of available kids is lower, but the beauty of our ownership of Fox Family Channel [on cable] is that we'll be still programming the 4 to 5 o'clock on network" with kids and transitional teen/adult programming, said Ms. Smith, who also serves as president of Fox Family Channel. "I'm not too consumed about the competition [from Kids' WB]."
Ms. Smith may have a valid point: Kids' WB's current weekday lineup slipped 42 percent in kids 2 to 11 (1.4/8) and 49 percent in boys 6 to 11 (2.1/13) this year compared with last season. Fox Kids Network, giving in to requests by Fox affiliates to pull back from the 4 p.m. hour so they can program adult-oriented sitcoms and news, is down by a somewhat lower 21 percent in kids 2 to 11 (1.5/8) and 28 percent in kids 6 to 11 (2.1/12).
Still, some observers say Mr. Saban's exercising of the "put" option could be a signal of a future pullback by Fox to get out of the Monday-through-Friday kids business in the near future. Once the investment firms and arbitrators determine the value of Mr. Saban's half-ownership in FKN and Fox Family Channel, estimated at between $1 billion and $4 billion, there are still questions about how much News Corp. will want to sink into the broadcast and cable kids operations.
"I can understand the questions about our future direction, but I also want to stress that Fox is going after Monday through Friday and Saturdays aggressively, in tandem with Fox Family Channel," Ms. Smith said. "The budget for development has improved over last year-and who knows how things will firm up once we're wholly owned [by Fox]. All I can say is that Fox corporate has been extremely supportive. They have been extremely thrilled with the [rating] numbers for `Digimon,' `Los Luchadores' and `Power Rangers."'
Indeed, the Latino-flavored "Los Luchadores" has posted 6.0/20 in boys 6 to 11 to quickly emerge as the third-ranked Saturday morning series behind Kids' WB's "Pokemon" (7.5/26) and Nickelodeon's "Rugrats" (6.4/23). The freshman addition joins sixth-ranked "Digimon: Digital Monsters" (5.6/21) and 28th-ranked "Power Rangers: Time Force" (3.7/22) as major staples of FKN's Saturday morning schedule.
In fact, as some consolation, FKN has experienced the least year-to-year erosion on Saturday mornings among the kids broadcast networks this season. Among kids 2 to 11 (2.4/10) and boys 6 to 11 (4.1/17), FKN is down 14 percent and 16 percent, respectively, in sec
ond-ranking positions to Kids' WB this season. Although ranked fourth in girls 2 to 11 (1.4/6) and girls 6 to 11 (1.5/7), FKN has improved in both categories year-to-year, by respective 8 percent and 15 percent margins.
Seeking to maintain some of that broadened appeal to girls, Ms. Smith is looking to have "Prank Attack," a live-action show involving everyday kids who pull pranks on friends and family, ready as a special this month or in April to go out as a possible midseason entry. Another potential May or summer midseason entry is "Ripping Friends," the first animated series John Kricafulsi, creator of Nickelodeon's "Ren & Stimpy," will have planted at FKN for an initial 13-episode run. Ms. Smith described it as a "superhero comedy about the most manly men protecting the world for manliness," which would mean it will have a decidedly boys skew.
As for fall, Ms. Smith said the network is developing up to 11 series, with as many as three potentially making the cut for next fall. On the front burner is "Evolution," an animated series designed to tie in with DreamWorks' motion picture of same title to be released July 13.
Disney's One Saturday Morning on ABC
Playing somewhat to its core strength in the girls demos, ABC is again turning to twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen to headline their first-ever animated series next fall. The untitled series will follow the exploits of the twin sisters, who will star in a different "mini-movie" each episode, as well as feature them in live-action wraparound segments.
Jonathan Barzilay, senior vice president and general manager of ABC's children programming, suggested that the Olsen twins are not being specifically targeted to girl viewers, but rather fit in with the "relatively balanced gender composition" of its five-hour Disney's One Saturday Morning block (airing 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.). However, with ABC's morning schedule ranking first in the girls 2 to 11 (2.4/11) and girls 6 to 12 (2.5/12) demos, it appears that those would be groups most likely to migrate toward the new Olsen twins series. Despite its top-ranking positions in girls, ABC is also down 30 percent this season in both key demos.
Yet, with the Olsen twins reaching 14 years of age, Mr. Barzilay acknowledged their new animated series could play a part in broadening ABC's demo appeal with older children and teens as well.
"The tween audience in the 9 to 14 years of age range is becoming increasingly important to broadcasters in terms of broadening out our demographic base," Mr. Barzilay said. "We have had similar success in tweens with `Lloyd in Space,' and hopefully Mary-Kate and Ashley will broaden our appeal in that demo."

Helping kids understand the concepts of Sin, Love, Grace, Forgiveness, Belief, and Faithfulness – 6 of the most important words in any galaxy.
Love – God's love is a force to be reckoned with. He created the universe and everything in it. He loves every person very much. So much so that he would even send his son to die for us to save us from sin. Love is also the most powerful weapon we have to fight against sin. If we are doing what God says, we are showing love to him and to others. Love is when we think of others before ourselves. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, Matthew 22:36-40 The greatest commandment.

The Contemporary Textile Studio is over-the-moon-excited to be hosting internationally acclaimed textile artist and designer Maxine Sutton for a 3 day public workshop in our studio. Maxine will also be giving a public lecture at the Textile Museum of Canada while she is in Toronto.
We have a treat for our readers today: Studio member Kerry Croghan chatted with Maxine about her inspirations, creative habits, studio + shop, and what to expect in her upcoming workshop.
CTS: Can you tell us a bit about the concept behind your textile studio and craft shop Blackbird. Describe the connection between the shop and your goals as an artist/designer?
MS: I was encouraged to open the shop below my studio, (now called simply MAXINE SUTTON STUDIO+SHOP) by all the exciting regeneration and creative energy in the town of Margate where I am based. I wanted to create a real bricks and mortar space to showcase contemporary handmade work of my own and others. Because of the internet, real places and spaces are as important as ever. The retail landscape and our local communities are changing. How people spend their leisure time, what and how we consume, as well as attitudes towards craft and manufacturing, are all hopefully changing in a positive way. A real space offers opportunities for communicating and expressing some of these thoughts.
CTS: Are there any habits or rituals that you have for getting into a creative frame of mind?
MS: I love rituals and habits and I don't have enough of them, I want to cultivate more! I'm always jumping around from one thing to another, physically and in my head! I'm a gatherer of too much information and I often find it hard to switch off or channel my ideas onto one area. When starting on new work I usually spend a day or two – reconnecting with ideas in a very simple way – often reassembling drawings and notebooks. Basic cutting and sticking.
CTS: Name three things/places/people that inspire you.
MS: I'm inspired by anything and everything. ie; abstract painting, figurative painting, animals and natural history, folklore, David Bowie, the sea, plants and gardens, films, houses, architecture, my family, handmade clothing, folk art and textiles, Kate Bush, choral music, Margate, Cornwall, New York, the V&A ……..and so on.
CTS: Your website includes some lovely images from your sketchbook. Describe the role your sketchbook has in your design process.
MS: My sketchbooks are really important, I use sketch books as my main way of recording and collecting ideas, and I bring these to the worktable table when creating new artworks or designing for interior collections. In the past I have kept a fabric sketch book, which I make up with pieces of linen, blanket and canvas. Together with a needle and threads I use this to "doodle" and draw with stitches and little bits of applique like collage.
CTS: In your opinion, what does it mean to be a textile designer today?
MS: Textile consumption and sustainability are key issue for designers now. There is a lot of waste and still lots of exploitation in the textile industry which is surely impossible to ignore as a designer. It's hard to be completely ethical and properly 'green' in every decision one makes as a consumer because we are all so time poor, and it is confusing sometimes, but as designers and makers we definitely have a responsibility to think about the 'stuff' we put in the world.
CTS: When and where do you feel most creatively energized and productive? What kind of environment do you find is conducive to your work?
MS: mmm energy levels and productivity, honestly? I always feel I'm losing that battle. I always need more energy and want to be more productive, but trying to learn to accept there are only 24 hours in a day and I need to sleep for 8 of them at least. Basically I'm with Chuck Close on this subject, you just have to show up and do the work, don't wait for inspiration all the time, or the right frame of mind, moment or place. These days I find I just have to get on with it, inspiration and ideas develop through making and doing the work.
CTS: What do you love about working with textiles or about your work in general?
MS: I feel connected to textiles in a very fundamental way. I have always drawn, and I love painting and working on paper. Also the immediacy of the screen print process is something I really enjoy, but textiles and working with fabric feels like a part of my identity. I grew up making things with fabric: clothes for dolls, clothes for myself, little stuffed animals, gonks, fabric pictures and collages, little beds, sofas and bedding for my trolls, presents for family, things for the house. It's just something I will always do.
CTS: In general, what do you hope that our participants will take away from our workshop with you?
MS: I hope we will discover new approaches to working with stitch and print and develop some ideas surrounding everyday objects, narrative and still life. Exchange ideas and perhaps germinate a few and create something we will want to keep.
Don't miss Maxine Sutton's public lecture at the Textile Museum of Canada on Wednesday, June 26th at 6:30pm; tickets $10 at the door.

With GearImproveAS optimizes your existing drive train. Like at GearRep, your drive concept gets holistically proved to define the cause of the problem. After that our experts develop an optimizing concept for the GearImprove. Our engineering department is able to calculate and construct this.
The gearbox of the company Eickhoff is used at a crushing plant. Because of the huge workload there have often been damages or breakages at the gearing or bearing in the past. AS changed the gearbox fundamentally while keeping the connecting dimensions. Additionally a direct lubrication oil injection has been installed to lubricate all important parts of the gearbox immediately. Before the new and improved gearbox was integrated to the system again, an intensive test run at AS happened.
