Diet rich in fish helps slow loss of memory, Study says

Research shows two fish meals a week reflect a 13% slower annual decline

CHICAGO (AP) � Eating fish once a week slows the memory loss associated with aging by 10 % a year, according to a Rush University Medical Center study of 6,158 elderly Chicagoans.

For people who eat more than one fish meal a week, the slowdown in memory loss amounted to 13 % a year, Rush medical expert Martha Clare Morris reported last week in the medical journal Archives of Neurology. Eating fish at least once a week is good for the brain, slowing age-related mental decline by the equivalent of three to four years, the study suggests.

Careful analyses of diet, lifestyle and cognitive function showed that after six years those who consumed fish weekly were about 3 to 4 years younger mentally than those who seldom ate fish, she said.

The study adds to the growing evidence that a fish-rich diet helps keep the mind sharp. Previous studies found that people who ate fish lowered their risk of Alzheimer's disease and stroke. Fish such as salmon and tuna that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids also have been shown to prevent heart disease.

Biologically, the findings make sense because fish contain omega 3 fatty acid, which is an important constituent of brain cell membranes, said Alice Lichtenstein, director of the cardiovascular nutrition laboratory at the USDA Nutrition Center on Aging at Tufts University. Lichtenstein, who was not involved in the Rush study, said the findings are consistent with other studies showing that eating fish or taking fish oil supplements lowers the risk of heart attack, stroke and Alzheimer's disease.

For the latest study, researchers measured how well 3,718

persons - 62 % blacks and 38 % whites, did on simple tests, such as recalling details of a story. The lowered risk of memory loss was observed in both races, said co-author Morris, an epidemiologist at Chicago's Rush University Medical Center, one of the nation's premier research and teaching hospitals. "Those who ate two fish meals a week showed a 13% slower annual decline."

An earlier study of the same population group showed that fish consumption lowered the risk of Alzheimer's disease.  The participants, all Chicago residents 65 or older, took the tests three times over six years. They also filled out a questionnaire about what they ate that listed 139 foods.

The study was posted October 11, 2005 on the Web site of the Archives of Neurology and will appear in the journal's December issue. It was published early online because of its general interest.  The researchers looked for, but failed to find, a link between omega-3 fatty acids and protection from brain decline. Previous studies found such a link.

Morris said the study was not designed to look at any possible effects of mercury contamination of fish, which has been linked to cognitive impairment. But it's probably a good idea to be aware of reports on which fish may contain the highest mercury levels, she added. Fish that tend to have higher mercury content include swordfish and tuna.

"We know that as we grow older the neurons lose omega 3 fatty acid," Morris said. "By eating fish or other sources of omega 3 fatty acid you can replace that which is lost in the neuron membranes. That's very important for neuron functioning and how they communicate among themselves."

"Basically we found that eating fish at least once a week appears to have a small but significant delay in the decline of one's thinking ability with age," Morris said. There were too few people taking fish oil supplements to measure their effect on memory.

States Say "Enough" to Indian Gambling

The Tribal gambling industry is out of control and States are fighting back.

Gambling opponents are asking Congress to end tribal casino expansion. Several states are currently at the mercy of a loophole in a federal law, passed in 1988. Jeff Benedict of the Connecticut Alliance Against Casino Gambling Expansion, explains the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act is causing many states to have to violate their own constitutional laws against gambling.

"Its intention was to level the playing field and give Indian tribes the opportunity to offer gambling to the same degree that was offered in the states in which those tribes reside"  says Benedict.  Benedict adds the outbreak of casinos is the result of a loophole that allows tribes, without land, to seek property for a reservation. Some are using the loophole to shop for the best place to build a casino. "It's gotten to the 

point where it's so bad now that Indian casinos are now being developed on non-Indian land."

For example, an Indian casino is going up in the city of Buffalo, New York. Attorney Neil Murray says casino-type gambling is illegal in New York, but the Indian Gaming Act trumps state law. "We can't have a situation here where Congress is turning around and telling states to pass laws that violate the states own constitution" comments Benedict.

Chad Hills with Focus on the Family Action is asking congress to patch holes in the federal law.  "We believe that just like commercial casinos, the citizens and legislators in the state should have a say as to whether a casino opens in a county or in their state somewhere."

Tweny-five states are rallying congress to stop the spread of off-reservation casinos.

Snakeheads Return with a Vengeance

Anglers on Dogue Creek, near Fort Belvoir, Va., say they found hundreds of the non-native fish on Sunday, Oct 9 when the creek was swollen with rain. They caught at least 80, using nets and three-pronged fishhooks. But the anglers said hundreds more remained in the creek. State biologist John Odenkirk pulled 62 more out of the creek on two days later. Now state biologists want to know what led the nonnative

species to congregate in the tributary of the Potomac River near Fort Belvoir.

Scientists are concerned the burgeoning population of the invasive species appears to be irreversible, and will compete with native bass and other fish for food, throwing the ecosystem out of balance, especially since they have no native predators in the area's fresh waters.

Hurricane Katrina's Damage to Recreational Boats Est. at $650-$750 Million

BoatUS, estimates that damage to recreational vessels as a result of Hurricane Katrina is between $650 to $750 million.  Of that amount only about half, or $300 to $400 million in damage, was covered by insurance.

Katrina's losses far surpass last year's four hurricane total of 

NOAA: Gulf of Mexico Fish Show Little Hurricane Contamination

WASHINGTON, DC, - Government analyses of fish and crabs collected from the Gulf of Mexico two weeks after Hurricane Katrina show no E. coli, a bacteria associated with human or animal fecal contamination, and very low levels of pesticides and industrial chemicals that researchers say are "likely not related to hurricane runoff."

NOAA has completed additional analyses of fish, water, and sediment samples collected from coastal and offshore marine waters of the Gulf of Mexico from September 12 to 16. The latest tests were conducted to determine the level of fish, water, and sediment exposure to bacteria and to determine the level of exposure to pesticides and other contaminants, such as PCB and DDT.

Last week, NOAA tests of these same fish found no oil contamination. Additional testing on shrimp samples taken from Mississippi Sound is ongoing.  Analyses of water samples for indicators of human sewage or agricultural runoff found levels that are below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's safety limits for bathing beaches, the most stringent

government standard for recreational waters.

In the fish and crab samples, the levels of PCBs ranged from 2.5 -15 parts per billion (ppb) and the levels of DDT ranged from 0.8 - 2.2 parts per billion - levels far below the Food and Drug Administration's safety standards for commercial seafood, and are similar to levels detected in fish in non-urbanized areas.

The agency's PCB limit is 2000 ppb, and their DDT limit is 5000 ppb.    Analyses show no detectable level of brominated flame retardants (PBDEs) in most fish samples.

NOAA said September 29 that the first tests showed no elevated exposure to hydrocarbon contaminants, which are common in marine life after exposure to oil spills. NOAA also is conducting a comprehensive analysis of fishing infrastructure damage caused by the hurricanes. The agency has teams surveying the region's fishing fleets, seafood processing plants, fish markets and bait shops. The survey will take months to complete, but NOAA said preliminary information will be released as it becomes available.

Whooping crane expedition ready to launch

Endangered bird flock should pass through Indiana on way to Florida

Operation Migration hopes to launch the 2005 whooping crane migration flight on Friday, Oct. 14. During the flight, young endangered whooping cranes learn traditional migration routes by following ultralight planes from northern Wisconsin to Florida.

"If the weather turns out as forecast, the launch will be quite a spectacle -- five ultralights and 20 Whooping cranes," said expedition leader and pilot Joe Duff. Duff says recent hurricanes have diverted funding and increased costs. "The soaring cost of fuel, increased expenses, the large number of birds we have this season and resulting added staff needed, have made it very difficult to raise enough funds to keep us going.

"We have enough funding in place to get us almost to the Kentucky/Tennessee border before we run out of gas -- figuratively and literally," said Duff.

This year's flight is the fifth of similar flights designed to restore migratory populations of the endangered birds. Past routes led the team through approximately 14 Indiana counties with three overnight stops.

Researchers are working to restore flocks of whooping cranes that will spend summers near Necedah National Wildlife Refuge in central Wisconsin, and migrate to Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge in Florida.

In the first five years of the program, approximately 60 birds have been taught a migration route between Wisconsin and Florida. This is 4 times the number of whoopers that existed in the early 1940's. The birds have been returning to Wisconsin in the spring on their own.

Whooping cranes are the tallest birds in North America standing 5 feet tall with a 7- to 8-foot wingspan.  Whooping cranes mate for life and can live 25 years or more in the wild.

Like many birds, whooping cranes learn their migration route by following their parents. But this knowledge is lost when the species is reduced and there are no longer any wild birds using the flyway. Until Operation Migration was asked by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to spearhead a reintroduction of the world's most endangered cranes, there was no method of teaching migration to captive-reared whooping cranes released into the wild.

Operation Migration works in partnership with nine private and government agencies known collectively as the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership.

Weekly Great Lakes Water Levels for October 14, 2005

Lake Level Conditions:

All of the Great Lakes are 1 to 5 inches below the levels of a year ago.  Dry conditions this spring and summer are the main reason that water levels on the Great Lakes are below last year�s levels.   Looking ahead, Lake Superior is expected to fall 2 inches over the next month and fall below chart datum in December.  Recent heavy rainfall over the Lake Superior watershed led to a 4-inch water level rise during part of last week.   Lake Michigan-Huron should fall below chart datum this month and decline 3 inches over the next 30 days.  The remaining lakes are expected to fall 4 inches over the next month.  Levels over the next few months on all the Great Lakes are expected to remain lower than 2004/2005.   Evaporation rates during the fall may be higher than average due to warmer surface water temperatures.

Current Outflows/Channel Conditions:

The Lake Superior outflow through the St. Marys River into Lake Huron is projected to be below average during the month of October.  Flows in the St. Clair and Detroit Rivers are anticipated to be below average during October.  Flows in the Niagara River and St. Lawrence River are expected to be near average in October.

Canada�s Police ready to register their guns,

Even if Firearms Centre says they're not

OTTAWA (CP) _ The country's two largest police associations say their members are ready, willing and anxious to register their guns with the Canada Firearms Centre immediately.  They say they're at a loss to understand why police registration under the Firearms Act has been delayed for another year, especially since the delay has been attributed to them.

The Sept. 30 implementation date was quietly postponed this summer - the second deferral in nine months - by an order in council from the federal cabinet.  The regulation demands that all public agents register their weapons, including both service weapons and those seized, found or turned in. It's now scheduled to come into force in November 2006.

Smallmouth bass travel farther than largemouth

California study shows bigmouths stay close to new territory

How far do bass travel when released after a tournament? Guesses range from less than a mile to more than 15 miles. Some anglers have insisted that bass have homing instincts and travel all the way back to the area they were caught. An interesting theory, however, according to studies done by the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) and other biologists, largemouth bass move very little during their entire lifetime.

A few years ago, the DFG tagged 580 bass (497 were smallmouth and the remaining 83 were largemouth) caught during a tournament at Lake Shasta. The bass were then released at the weigh-in site. Fishermen catching the tagged fish were asked to contact the DFG. The study lasted three years.

Anglers returned 34 largemouth bass tags. Thirteen were caught less than a mile from the release site. Twenty-one were caught from one mile to seven miles from the release site.  During the first 40 days after being released, the average distance traveled by the fish was less than a mile and the average for the entire three-year study period was less than two miles.

The smallmouth bass used in the study traveled much farther after being released. Of the 497 smallmouth bass tagged and released, 87 % were caught from two to 15 miles from the release site. Within the first 20 days after being released, the majority of the smallies traveled at least three miles and a few

traveled as far as eight miles.

Biologists concluded that largemouth bass travel very short distances after being released. They establish new territory and continue on with their lives. However, smallmouth bass will travel back to where they were caught. Why smallies have this homing ability and largemouths don't, no one knows for sure.

The question many anglers are asking: "Does holding most of the bass tournaments in only one area result in the stockpiling of fish?"

Typically during a two-day tournament approximately 1,000 to 1,500 adult bass will be weighed and released in the vicinity of a tournament site. Many of these bass are caught at the far end of a lake and transported to the weigh-in site. If the DFG studies prove to be true, those fish won't be returning to areas from where they were caught.

Does taking that many bass from the south end deplete the fishery? To date, there hasn't been any evidence shown that supports that theory.

If the DFG determines that one area is being overloaded with bass they may require that tournament release sites be spread around the lake, but don't look for that to happen. It only takes a few adult bass to repopulate an area and there are enough bass that are never caught to accomplish this. Studies have shown that less than 20 % of the bass ever feel the sting of a hook. Most are born, live and die and never come into contact with a human.

Wildlife Commission Plans Hunts For Disabled Sportsmen

Newly Reformulated Gasoline with Ethanol Could Rupture Old Fiberglass Tanks

Explosion Hazard and Significant Engine Damage Evidenced on Large, Older Vessels

Older fiberglass fuel tanks may fail as a result of recent gasoline reformulations that are using increased concentrations of the fuel additive ethanol.

BoatU.S. believes that as a result of industry-wide changes in fiberglass resin formulations in the mid 1980's, the problem appears to be limited to tanks manufactured prior to this date.  Diesel fuel systems are not affected. The fiberglass fuel tanks in question were standard equipment on some Hatteras, Bertram and possibly other boats.  While the investigation is still in the preliminary stage, BoatUS believes that reformulations made to gasoline in the Long Island Sound area that replaced MTBE (Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether) in late 2004 with a 10% concentration of ethanol is causing the additive to "attack" the resin in the old fiberglass tanks.  The results are weakened tank walls and bottoms with the potential to leak. Anytime gasoline leaks into the bilge, there is a significant risk of an explosion.

BoatU.S. has confirmed reports of tank wall failure in which gasoline was found leaking into the bilge.  It also has reports of a tar-like substance - possibly created from the chemical reaction between the older fiberglass resin and ethanol - causing hard black deposits that damage intake valves and pushrods, ultimately destroying the engine.

BoatU.S. is asking boaters for any firsthand reports or other information they may have on the issue and is doing

additional testing to evaluate the extent of the problem. "We'd like to know if other gasoline reformulations with lesser concentrations of ethanol react with the resin, perhaps at a slower pace," said Fort.

The increasing use of ethanol has largely been the result of federal and state efforts to replace MTBE, a potential carcinogen, with a safer alternative.  MTBE and ethanol oxygenate fuel to help reduce harmful emissions when running cold engines just after startup.  BoatU.S. has no reports from other states using lesser concentrations of ethanol. "Many well-regarded boat manufacturers have used fiberglass tanks reliably for years," said Fort.  "But unforeseen by these builders, the new reformulation in New York and Connecticut includes a high percentage of ethanol.  And unfortunately, gasoline with ethanol is the only fuel available to boaters in these areas," he added. Some stations in New Jersey may also be using ethanol-enhanced fuel.

Early symptoms may include engine backfiring and hard (sluggish) starting, in which the motor turns over slowly as though the battery were weak.  Affected engines also may not reach their rated RPM.   Fort said, "Ironically, the substance seems to pass through fuel filters leaving no tell-tale marks - some have appeared clean on our reports.  The only way to know for certain is to pull the carburetor and inspect the underside for a black, gummy film which can indicate a serious problem."

Until it fully understands the extent of the issue, BoatU.S is recommending that any early 1980's or older vessel with fiberglass gas tanks be stored empty over the winter.

Guns Banned at 'FEMA City'  In Louisiana

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) reports that displaced New Orleans residents living in a temporary housing compound are not allowed to possess firearms. �This is not acceptable,� said SAF founder Alan Gottlieb, following the lawsuit filed by the NRA and SAF securing a temporary restraining order against the confiscation of firearms by police in and around New Orleans.

According to a report that aired on the Lehrer News Hour last week, displaced New Orleans residents are being allowed to move into a trailer and RV compound called "FEMA City," but the conditions for residency include a ban on firearms.

Gottlieb contends the firearms restriction is illegal under state law and a federal court precedent established in another state.  "Being the victim of a natural disaster does not require a citizen to surrender his or her civil rights, and that includes firearms rights and property rights," Gottlieb said

�This is not acceptable,� said Gottlieb, �especially after the 

lawsuit that we, and the National Rifle Association, filed recently in New Orleans that secured a temporary restraining order against the confiscation of firearms by police in that city and in nearby St. Tammany Parish.

�It doesn�t matter whether this refuge community is behind a gate, or whether it is patrolled by police and security guards,� Gottlieb continued. �This restriction appears to be illegal under Louisiana law and the state constitution, as well as under a federal court ruling some years ago that protected firearms owned by residents in a federal public housing facility in another state.

�We are making inquiries about this restriction, and who ordered it,� Gottlieb said. �When we find out, whether it is an order that came from local authorities, or from FEMA, when we establish who gave that order, we are going to pursue legal action.  The anti -gun attitude that seems to be growing out of Louisiana's disaster had better change, or we're going to change it in court."

Rusty Crayfish Banned in the Commonwealth

Added to list of Aquatic species banned for sale, possession or transportation

Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Executive Director Dr. Douglas Austen has added the rusty crayfish to a list of species illegal for possession, sale, barter or transportation in the Commonwealth.

Rusty crayfish (Orconectes rusticus) are native to waters in the Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee region.  Although they are indigenous to parts of the Ohio River basin, they are not considered native to the Commonwealth.  Rusty crayfish were first found in the Commonwealth in 1976. Recent survey work funded by the Commission to assess native crayfish distribution and abundance has documented additional rusty crayfish populations, mainly in south-central Pennsylvania. 

There is little known about what ecological impact the expanded presence of rusty crayfish has had in the state.  Potentially, rusty crayfish can reproduce in large numbers and reduce lake and stream vegetation, depriving native fish and their prey of cover and food.  Their size and aggressive nature keeps many fish species from feeding on them.  Rusty crayfish may also reduce native crayfish populations by out-competing them for food and habitat. 

As a non-native species, the introduction of rusty crayfish into

Pennsylvania waters has long been illegal. Likewise, rusty   

crayfish are not on the list of species legal to propagate for sale as fish bait by licensed bait dealers. The new action to make them illegal for possession, sale, barter or transportation is an additional preventive measure to further reduce the chances that rusty crayfish could be inadvertently spread to new areas by anglers acquiring them as fish bait.

"There is no direct evidence that anglers have spread rusty crayfish beyond their normal range.  Crayfish are a popular fish bait, however, and it is very difficult to distinguish rusty crayfish from other species commonly found in Pennsylvania.  So to help stop the potential spread of rusty crayfish, we are asking anglers who collect crayfish for bait to not transport any crayfish from one water body to another,� Austen said.

Adult rusty crayfish are characteristically 3-5 inches long (nose to tail) with large claws that exhibit black-banded tips. The best identifier of the rusty crayfish is a set of dark, rusty spots on the midsection.  These spots are found on each side, appearing as if it were picked up by someone with paint on their thumb and forefinger.

The rusty crayfish now joins a list of other exotic species banned in the Commonwealth that includes zebra mussel, bighead carp, silver carp, snakeheads, black carp, quagga mussel, round goby, tubenose goby and European Rudd.

Cormorant Bill AB 486, up for Finance Hearing October 19

Wisconsin AB 486, the bill that would require the DNR to work with USFWS and USDA to create a cormorant control program has been scheduled for a hearing in the Joint Committee on Finance (JCF) on October 19th. 

Since the DNR determined that it will cost them $1,000,000 to implement a cormorant control program, the bill must pass out of the finance committee before it can be voted on by the full Assembly.  However, it is generally assumed the DNR's fiscal estimate of $1,000,000 is a thinly veiled attempt to scuttle the bill.  They want to put off cormorant control for a few more years and putting a ridiculously high cost on it is one way to do that.

We have been assured by the leadership in the Assembly that if AB 486 passes JCF, it will be sent to the full Assembly for a floor vote.

Now is the time to make the members of the JCF aware of this important issue.  We need to educate them on how significant this bill is to the sportsmen and women who fish and enjoy Wisconsin's waters.  The best way to do that would be to have your members contact their representatives and senators to explain the urgency of the cormorant threat.  We particularly need folks who live in the districts of JCF members to call or write them.

Below is the list of all JCF members and their contact information and the area they represent. 

Calls or email a couple of specific Senators who have large constituencies of sportsmen or commercial fishermen in their district.  These include Sen. Joe Leibham from Sheboygan, Sen. Rob Cowles from Green Bay, and Rep. Dan Meyer from Eagle River.  Meyer's district is literally the land of lakes and fishing is of tremendous economic and cultural significance to his constituents. 

If something like what happened on Leach Lake in Minnesota were to happen near Eagle River, it would be devastating.  These three men will be the most sympathetic to our cause and therefore the most helpful to passing the bill out of committee.
