Zoom Trick Worm
Fishing the floating worm technique is a fun and effective way to catch post spawn fish or bass suspended in brush or other cover. The Zoom Trick Worm works wonders for these fishing conditions. The bright, clear colors bring savage strikes as the Trick Worms drift and twitch in front of bad-tempered bass. Try them rigged 'straight' or Tex-posed without any weight. Wacky rig them and twitch them quickly with short strokes for a lively looking presentation. Try them on a Carolina-rig when you want long, swooping slow-fall drifts from your bait. Any way you fish them you're sure to be satisfied with the performance of the Zoom Trick Worm.
Peter T used the Zoom Trick worm on a Carolina rig to catch a majority of his fish during his "Day On The Lake" in the recent Bassmaster. He also uses a Zoom Finnese Worm and a Norman DD22.

Comments: Mainstay in my soft plastics arsenal. My go to when I want to texas rig a straight tailed worm. Green pumpkin, junebug and watermelon red are my best producers and pretty much all you need for all conditions.
From: Booman: Louisville, KY 2/9/17
Comments: While trying the Trick Worm for "Chicken Rigging" (Gary Yamamoto's version), I found it didn't work with the hook I had (3/0 Trokar EWG), so I put the hook in the nose (i.e., Texas Rigged) & screwed a #8 x 1.25" decking screw into the tail of the worm. Didn't really know what to expect, but it floated the hook nicely (tied direct to 20 lb test Power Pro braid), with the tail on the bottom. Shortly after, I caught a LM of about 4 lbs & later a couple of SM that were about 11". This rig casts well & is probably more snag resistant than any other I can think of. It works great for rip-rap, reed beds, rocks, weeds & should work very well for bank fishing. Give it a go! I decided it needed a "Bubba Name", so call it "The Dumb Bass Rig".
From: Steve: WA 9/2/16
Comments: I've tried all the other flour lines out there and it seems like I keep coming back to this particular line. They last longer for me when changing them out for tournament season. I can not live without them.
From: Cole: SC 7/10/16
Comments: The Zoom Trick Worm has to be one of the best valued baits on the market. My brother & I just finished a 2 week trip to The Adirondacks. The lake we fished was clear & had a large population of Largemouth & Smallmouth bass. We had brought up 1 package of Zoom Trick Worms & they worked. Put them on a drop-shot or shaky head & we caught multiple quality Largemouth & Smallmouth. The one package lasted us the entire trip! Zoom has a classic bait that slays the fish.
From: Justin: St. Petersburg, FL 6/25/16
Comments: great worm i was introduced to the trick worm back in 92 been catching thousands of bass on green ppk, got my record bass in 95 a 8-75 pounder on halloween. another great worm is the finesse worn in grn ppk flash i like wacky riggin em now big numbers on any color
From: Jeff: USA 5/14/16
Comments: Zoom trick worms is some of the best long style bottom hoppers I have ever used. I was on a tournament on Istakpoga & I threw everything in my tackle box, nothing until I started throwing trick worms in June bug & watermelon red.
From: Joseph: FL 4/11/16
Comments: love using pumpkin or watermelon chartreuse. Awesome for shakey head & works well while drop shotting. The chartreuse tail seem to do work b/c smallies love biting the tail end off.
From: Cod: Grand Blanc, MI 11/8/15
Comments: Absolutely impossible to fish wrong. T-rig with a bullet wt, weightless, shaky head, drop shot, Carolina rig, wacky. I prefer a light T-rig with a 1/16 oz tungsten bullet wt. Lift and drop it, twitch it, hop it and pop it, slowly creep it along the bottom, swim it above the bottom with pauses so it glides to the bottom. Doesn't matter how you work it...you will catch a nice bass using this worm. Green pumpkin and black are my colors.
From: Vito: NYC 6/17/15
Comments: This has to be the best soft plastic on the market it's simple, cheap & productive. It catches so many fish and there is 20 worms in on pack!
From: Jackson: OK 6/12/15
Comments: Zoom trick worms are the best I use Limetreuse color on a Texas rig and I could almost garentee a bite it works amazingly
From: Reece: Montpielier, IN 6/9/15
Comments: great colors great price and great quality you can rig it almost anyway you want extremely versatile bait my favorite colors ive used so far are gooseberry, watermelon red flake, okeechobee craw, and junebug. try em out you wont regret it
From: Colson: TN 4/14/15
Comments: When I'm fishing and the jerkbait bite is slow; I pullout a zoom trick work worm in gooseberry, bubblegum, or if the water is clear pumpkin. One of my go to baits in April and May!
From: Chaseman: York, SC 3/27/15
Comments: After using these worms for the last several years, I have found that they are deadliest when fished in shallow flats or cover. Try them weightless and in junebug color. You will not be disappointed.
From: Roger: Starkville, MS 2/27/15
Comments: I tend to use the finesse worms and magnum finesse worms. However I tend to have very good luck and go through the most packs of Bubble Gum trick worms. Very durable, and just simply catch big bass. I have caught several 5 pounders off of these worms. If anyone has a color that does well for them please let me know.
From: Alex: Forsyth, GA 10/9/14
Comments: I'm new to using plastics, I've been a crank lover but I have started using this bait after watching my buddy slay bass all day on them on what I'd describe as not a great day for fishing. I'm using on a 3/8 shaky head, Texas rig. So far I'm very impressed.
From: Chris: Montclair, VA 10/2/14
Comments: i used to only use culprit worms (nothing wrong with them still use the red shad) but i started using these and man oh man i have caught more quality fish on these than any thing else. i recently bought the blue watermelon on accident (thought it was what a friend recommended) and they are my new favorite worm.
From: Seth: GA 6/30/14
Comments: Get the regular size California 420 it's Dark Dark Green with Red Flake on top and Watermelon Red Flake on bottom and trick worm and the sharpest longest kitchen knife you can find. Cut the worm in half long ways. You now have 40 drop shot worms that will blow away any drop shot worm out there.
From: CJ: Gretna, LA 6/24/14
Comments: The best plastic worm ever created in the entire history of the world! I call watermelon/red flake "Old Reliable" because I can always rely on it to catch bass when the going gets tough.
From: Quillback, AR 6/8/14
Comments: These worms flat out catch fish. Get you a few bags. Green pumpkin or watermelon chartreuse and you WILL NOT be disappointed. These are my GO-TO baits for catching bass. Fish them on a carolina rig on a ledge, in grass, on topwater, shaky head, anything. You CANNOT fish these wrong
From: Brandon: Muscle Shoals, AL 5/18/14
Comments: I'm not joking this is a must have worm,sometimes you buy things online or in the store and use them and think there don't work or you go back to a cofedemce bait or whatever but I'm telling pick up a pack of thease worms and get a 1/8 oz bullet weight and 4/0 wide gap hook and go out and fish it all day it dosent matter the time of year or day just fish anyway you'd like and I promise you will catch a fish. For the colors just get the green and pumpkins for the clear water and the June bugs and bright colors for dark water. My favorite colors are bull frog,June bug,red shad and watermelon red. The best starter color is watermelon seed or June bug. And lastly if there on the beds the limetrues color kills them BUY THEASE NOW
From: Kevin: USA 3/16/14
Comments: Bent baits and short (not as many in there as you should get) bags...welcome to the world of ZOOM. Hate it, but they catch fish anywhere you go. This is one of their most versatile worms, and probably outsells other companies whole lineup of soft baits.
From: Jay6: USA 3/6/14
Comments: This worm catches fish....always has, always will. BUT I am getting tired of having half the baits in a bag being bent/deformed. Not just trick worms,but ALL Zoom products. Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know you can boil them and make them straight again...but I am getting tired of it. I think I am going to start paying a little more and using another brand or something.
From: Basswipe: USA
Comments: Best soft plastic wrom on the marekt. Ponds,lakes and rivers, you name it. Its at a resonable price aswell. I highly recomend thease worms. I rig mine with a bullet weight and a 5/0 stright shank hook weed less.
From: Jack: Tallahssee, FL
Comments: Picked these up on sale a few months ago. These are some nice worms. I got the Limited Edition Watermelon Red Magic color, and they work pretty good. Although these work well, they don't have scents (but they ARE salt impregnated), and they aren't very stretchy or durable.
From: Reece: USA
Comments: Best sight fishing bait out there. Use a 1/0 hook on spinning gear if you are sight fishing, baitcasting if you want to cover more water. I always texas rig it because you can fish heavier cover and grass.
From: Ethan: Charlottesville, VA
Comments: imo i like these better than senkos fish them weightless t rig wacky whatever you want they flat out catch fish i use the green pumpkin green or any green pumpkin variation in the connie during the spawn and crush some huge smallmouth off these and big lm in ponds and lakes
From: Evan: mechanicsburg pa

From: Bob: GA
Comments: my go to bait. When fishing gets tough. I T-rig them on 5/0 gama, 1/8 or 1/16 bullet weight and work the bottom. I usually get hit when I move the worm past a structure(if fish are nearby). Also try to bang the bullet weight against a rock without letting it go over sometime triggers stick. At 3.89$/20 worms. It's a deal. Got my first personal best this year at lake skinner. 8.63lb.
From: Jack: Temecula, CA

Comments: This is a great worm! I always have one tied on when the bite is tough. They are my go to bait for small mouth. I normally use them on a stand up jig head.
From: Scott: Nebraska
Comments: Easily the best finesse worm ever. I love wacky rigging them because there is so much action.(just use an o-ring because they will fall off after one fish. I texas rigand weightless rig them too, the tail stands straight up in the water. And at under $4 for 20, you just can go wrong. Get something like a junebug color and then a green pumpkin or watermelon color and your set.
From: Scotty: VA
Comments: the best period. ive spent thousands stocking my tackle bag and have caught prolly 90% of fish my whole life on this and the finesse worm. it will catch em when nothing else will.
From: Wes: MO
Comments: Nothing better to me. Green pumpkin green flake is the way to go here in Georgia. On private ponds and public water this worm and color really brings in the fish. I normally fish them weightless.
From: John: Jackson, GA
Comments: Love these worms they flat out catch fish and they are super durable caught 8 fish on one worm before i had to put on a new one

From: John: Raleigh, NC

From: Tyler: Cincinnati, OH
Comments: About 4 months ago i decided to try this bait because of the big talk about them, i thought they would be just like any finesse worm but was I wrong!!!!! this bait has insanely good action and have caught me over 100 bass. I have yet to see a hater of this bait and if it doesnt work for u then ur doing something wrong cause this bait is like bass candy!
From: Garrett: VA
Comments: These trick worms are MONEY!!! I have caught a ton of bass with these worms. It seems that I can always rely on a trick worm to catch bass, even in tough conditions. My favorite color is BLACK in stained/muddy water and watermelon red flake, green pumpkin blue flash in clear water. By far, these are the best worms on the market!
From: Tom: North Charleston, SC
Comments: Greatest worm ever, if your looking for a worm that bass will strike constantly, then this worm is for u, I use it when I'm having a bad fishing day and it makes it seem like I was catching fish all day when I use it, it's amazing and I recommend white color kus it works for me, I recommend this worm above all others, it's that good
From: Chase: Florida
Comments: I love to fish a white one with a red offset hook and rig it weedless and use no weight at all. I twitch it three or four times to keep it up where i can see it and watch the line as it falls. Generally gets hit as its falling slowly.
From: Chris: Big Clifty, KY
Comments: This is my first full season fishing, so it was my first Bass Opener on Memorial Day weekend. I was fishing the Zoom Trick Worm, Key Lime, on a 3/16 oz. wacky jig head I bought on eBay. I only caught one fish that day, but it was a personal best ~4 pounder. Yesterday, my second outing of the season, I hooked a bigger bass with the same set up. I'm guessing it was in the 6 lb. range (which is HUGE for MN), but it was able to toss my hook on a jump.
From: Austin: St. Paul, MN
Comments: this worm is the greatest the first time i use it on a shaky head i land my personal best bass 6.6 the next week lake amistad i land a new pb 7.14 this worm is the greatesh i always have one tied on

From:Anthony: South Carolina
Comments:Great shallow water and topwater action when used with a light wire Texposed hook. Bubblegum is a great color.
From: Frank:Walden, N.Y.

The Pittsburgh Pirates threatened to end their record streak of losing seasons in each of Clint Hurdle's first two years at the helm, both times reaching the All-Star break with a winning mark only to plummet in the second half.
This time there was no collapse, no bemoaning what went wrong, no same-old, same-old.
The Pirates finally broke through for their first winning season since 1992, riding Hurdle's ever-positive guidance, center fielder Andrew McCutchen's all-around brilliance and a much-improved pitching staff to their first playoff appearance in 21 years.
AWARDS: AL & NL rookies of the year announced
Hurdle's role in leading the Pirates to a 15-win improvement and a 94-68 record was recognized Tuesday when he was named National League manager of the year in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
In the American League, Terry Francona earned top manager honors after leading the Cleveland Indians to their first postseason appearance since 2007. He narrowly edged out the Boston Red Sox's John Farrell.
The Pirates secured a winning record by early September and challenged the St. Louis Cardinals for the NL Central crown before finishing second, winning a wild-card spot with room to spare.
They beat the Cincinnati Reds in the wild-card playoff and took the Cardinals to five games in the Division Series, with Hurdle constantly boosting their confidence.
"I'm a realist, but I am an optimist,'' said Hurdle, who received 25 of 30 first-place votes to easily outpoll the Los Angeles Dodgers' Don Mattingly.
"What those guys perceive is not going to be hokey. I'm going to tell them I believe in them, even when maybe they don't believe it themselves. It's not from a cheerleading aspect. It's not from a Kumbaya, gather-around-the-campfire aspect. It's looking men in the eye, telling them what they're capable of doing.''
Hurdle's impact went beyond buoying his troops. He implemented positioning shifts that resulted in the Pirates ranking fourth in the league in defensive efficiency, and he deemphasized pitch counts among starters so they would focus on going deep into games.
And despite starting the season without a proven closer, then losing surprise All-Star Jason Grilli to an injury, Hurdle got a league-high 55 saves out of his bullpen.
"Your pitching is the largest engine of your club moving forward,'' said Hurdle, whose team reduced its ERA from 3.86 to 3.26. "Good pitching is going to shut down good hitting. Our guys understood that. They were representative of that.''
Francona, who guided the Boston Red Sox to two World Series championships but never finished higher than fourth in voting for AL Manager of the Year, engineered a 24-win improvement in his first season in Cleveland.
The Indians (92-70) closed the season on a 10-game winning streak to earn a wild-card spot before being eliminated in the playoff game by the Tampa Bay Rays.
Cleveland was coming off a fourth-place finish in the AL Central and had not finished with a winning record since 2007, but the club got strong seasons out of All-Star second baseman Jason Kipnis and starting pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez to return to prominence under Francona's steady hand.
The Indians lacked were short on marquee names but not on moxie. With veteran Jason Giambi playing a crucial leadership role, they occupied first or second place in the division for all but one day from May 11 on, then made a huge push at the end, winning 15 of their final 17 games.
"Between the front office, ownership and especially the players, this was one of the funnest years I've ever had,'' Francona said. "And we didn't get to our end goal, but we're getting there.''
Francona edged out Farrell, his former pitching coach in Boston, 112 points to 96, getting 16 of the 30 first-place votes.
After being let go by the Red Sox following the 2011 season, Francona spent a year as an analyst for ESPN and was reenergized by the time off and the challenge of turning around the Indians after they went 68-94 in 2012.
"I love doing what I'm doing with whom I'm doing it with,'' Francona said, "and I get a big kick out of that.''

Skip to comments.Black flag: Unsers busted at crime scene
Posted on 08/09/2006 5:00:14 PM PDT by JennysCool
ALBUQUERQUE -- Right in the middle of todays deadly carjacker pursuit, the Bernalillo County Sheriffs Department arrested two members of Albuquerques famous Unser racing family. Both Al Unser Sr. and Bobby Unser Sr. were booked into the Metro Detention Center this afternoon charged with failure to obey a police officer and resisting arrest.
Both walked out of the jail about 3:30 p.m.
The brothers, who have a combined seven checkered flags at the Indianapolis 500 and are huge names in the racing world, apparently thought their celebrity status meant they were above the law.
The police pursuit of a stolen car, complete with reported shotgun fire aimed at pursuing officers, ended about 11 a.m. when the suspect crashed into another car and then accidentally or deliberately shot himself to death with the sawed-off shotgun. That dramatic conclusion happened at an intersection close to some Unser family property.
While the incident was still unfolding, Bernalillo County sheriff's investigators allege Al Unser started going through a roadblock in an attempt to get to his property. Despite six or seven warnings to leave the area, he still refused to leave, saying it was his property--he owned it.
When the deputy told him he would be arrested, Unser allegedly said, You can't take me to jail, and began cussing at the officer.
Officers report he then jerked away and said, Don't you know who I am? I'm Al Unser.
A short time after he was arrested, Bobby Unser showed up. Deputies said he, too, refused to leave and resisted arrest.
Both were transported to holding cells at the Valley substation before being taken to jail.
They simply told them numerous times to leave the area, and they simply refused to do so, Erin Kinnard of the Bernalillo County Sheriffs Department said. Were not talking about a situation where we're trying to catch a shoplifter.
This was a serious and dangerous situation.
KRQE News 13 was told Al Unser threatened the arresting officer, telling him he would get back at him some day.
People on the scene also said the deputies didnt recognize Al Unser and didnt care who he was, they just wanted the men to leave since shots were being fired in the area.
Contacted later, Al Unser Jr. declined a request for an interview. KRQE News 13 was unable to reach Bobby Unser.
git'er done boys.
They didn't know when to listen to their betters. They should get down on their knees and thank the cops for protecting them from themselves. /sarc
Them boys got themselves caught up in a real caddiewampus!
Thanks for the extra detail!
Sound like the cops were protecting the Unsers from their own stupidity as well as a guy with a shotgun.
If it was on his property the cops should obey his request.
Accidently or deliberately shot himself with a sawed off shotgun? Is accidently really a possibility?
On what grounds?
You two definitely have outlined the two poles of the argument. Guess we'll just have to see how this unfolds.
Sounds like they were protecting the public from a dead man.
wow... straight, unbiased news
I'm usually pro-police; BUT...
Similar thing happened to me when a "recovering" druggie rammed my girlfriend's car, in front of my house (20MPH zone), pushing it onto the green verge and totalling both cars;
so the locals handcuffed me because I drove up, parked, and asked what the hell happened.
Did I mention that they unloaded all the swag from the guy's car, onto my lawn, and gave him a ride home because he was obviously 'tired'?
Only intervention by a retired cop/neighbor got me out of the patrol car (and got the crap picked up from my lawn).
We were both just thrilled afterward when the local engineering cult proclaimed that the crush-zone had worked on her new lexus.
Sounds like the government wants to OFF them.
Sure thing. I lived there many years ago, I had to see what part of town this thing occured.
The cops are their "betters" when they're in pursuit and working a crime scene.
The Unsers apparently have your attitude, which is why they got cuffed.
sounds like their rights were violated
Seems as if hardly a week goes by without some puffed-up "celebrity" making an idiot of himself.
The authority of an owner on his property trumps all others. I don't see where this incident interfered with the investigation.
The Unsers act like small time big shots, very small indeed.
This account has been banned or suspended.
farmfriend - a long time ago.
I'm going to pop some popcorn. You want butter or salt?
what happened to farmfriend?? was he Travis McGee'd? (just asking, nothing implied)
Farmfriend is female. She and my grandaughter are friends. I don't know why she was banned and neither does my grand daughter but she told me about it 3 or 4 months ago.
Authority to expose himself to gunfire? That's a new one to me.
As opposed to a shotgun?
As opposed to a shotgun?
It was some other type gun, cleverly disguised to look like a shot gun.
I think what happen to Travis McGee was a shame. His story needs to be told.
This one is quite binary. [chuckle]
Tell it. I am not familiar with it.
The article said that the standoff was near the Unser's property, not on it.
What from a dead man. But lets pretend the bad guy was alive, he could go onto his property under duress if he wants too. The Land of the Free and Brave?
On the grounds that "libertarianism" is actually a lack of rationality.
He tells it all the time at LP.
You'd love that place. Goldi knows all the Secret Service guys by their first names, and has their business cards in her rolodex.
While the incident was still unfolding, Bernalillo County sheriff's investigators allege Al Unser started going through a roadblock in an attempt to get to his property. Despite six or seven warnings to leave the area, he still refused to leave, saying it was his property--he owned it. [emphasis added]
Worst day on this forum for many good longtime freepers.
sorry... yes, I don't know what happened to Travis McGee and farmfriend.
I getting a strong sense of a private-property based right to interfere in a police action by exposing oneself to harm.
LOL.... maybe Travis should have gone to CU instead.
Bobby was heard saying "Well, ya see Sam, you're wrong and I'll tellya why."
Hey, if the Unsers want to be a Darwin candidate its their RIGHT! =o)
Are you a cop? Do you know the rules of engagement for the Albuquerque police department?
Lots of hot-doggin' goin' on on this thread.

Dublin Arts Council has commissioned the creation of Riverboxes™, artist-created vessels that are inspired by the hobbies of letterboxing and geocaching which combine map-reading or GPS skills and artistic pursuit with delightful 'treasure hunts' in beautiful, scenic places.
Riverboxes contain a unique artist-made stamp, journal and historical and environmental information for visitors to discover in Dublin parks along the banks of or connected to the Scioto River and its tributaries. Clues to the whereabouts of the discreetly installed Riverboxes can be found on this site.
Community participants are encouraged to bring a personal journal and an ink stamp, either handmade or commercially produced, as they search for Riverbox locations. Letterboxing/geocaching hobbyists often mark their journals with the ink stamps discovered at each location, and in turn, imprint the site's journal with their own ink stamp.
An online guestbook has also been created to support the project and to record participants' experience.
The Riverboxes project is part of Dublin Arts Council's Ripple Effect: Artistic Impact of the Scioto River program. Funding and support for Riverboxes has been generously provided by grants from The Dublin Foundation, Honda of America, Target and Washington Township. Ongoing support for Dublin Arts Council is received from the City of Dublin's hotel/motel bed tax endowment, the Ohio Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.
The City of Dublin Parks and Open Space Department and the Dublin Historical Society have collaborated with Dublin Arts Council in the project's development.

Riverboxes Etiquette and Disclaimer:
Riverboxes are works of public art, created for the enjoyment of all. Please respect the artworks, the journals and ink stamps by carefully replacing the Riverbox contents and securing the enclosure for the next explorer to discover. Riverboxes are located in natural environments. We encourage you to spend time with each, enjoying the lovely surroundings. Please respect the flora and fauna of the Riverboxes' environment and leave them as you found them. Letterboxing enthusiasts often replace leaves or pebbles around their "find" so that the next searcher will also be able to enjoy the experience of discovery.
Riverboxes are found outdoors, often near water environments, and your search carries the risk of unforeseen hazards. As weather and terrain conditions may vary, it is the responsibility of Riverbox explorers to adequately prepare for the search and conduct themselves with respect to safety and personal abilities and limitations.

The Emery County Public Lands Council met in their November meeting to hear updates from the county commission and various agencies. Ed Geary, council chairman opened the meeting with remarks on the elections taking place that day. The council went over the meeting schedule for 2013 moving the first meeting of the year to Jan. 3, 2013 which will be a Wednesday morning instead of Tuesday for that month only.
In the December meeting the water subcommittee report will be presented to inform everyone of the results and findings from this water study. Commissioner James Nelson reported the county has withdrawn the report for the Emery County Public Lands bill. The bill has met with some issues with neighboring counties and these issues must be resolved before the report is resubmitted to the state public land office. The report was prepared in response to HB136 which requires state approval of the bill which Emery County wants to introduce in Congress as soon as possible. Kathleen Clarke from the state public land office called a meeting with the commissioners and Ray Petersen, public lands director to ask the county to withdraw the report until the issues with the other counties were worked out. Commissioner Nelson expressed his appreciation to the council for their hard work on the lands bill.
Lands council member Mistie Christiansen asked if the commissioners have met with the other counties. The answer was Kathleen Clarke will set up these meetings between the counties involved.
Petersen said when Clarke came and met with the commissioners some issues from these other counties were brought up and some were new issues and others were not. The Emery County land use bill process has been an open process with invitations out to everyone for comment. All stakeholders were welcome to comment and now Petersen reported at four years into this process these people have decided they are stakeholders. With the current political climate, it won't hurt to step back and work through these issues. Clarke will facilitate these meetings. Petersen described the delay as a bump in the road, but the intent is to keep moving on the bill.
Geary said one of the concerns that Uintah County had was with the issue of air quality within a WSA or wilderness area. The issue was called regional haze. Petersen commented that air quality regulations are already in place for wilderness study areas.
Council member Gary Petty asked if the bill would have to be re-written. Commissioner Nelson said no the bill may have to be stretched a little, but not re-written.
Petersen said he has visited Wayne County to tell them of the lands bill. He said it's not the intent of Emery County to dictate the resource use in other counties and other counties should not dictate the use of Emery County's resources. The commission is the policy maker for Emery County.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said it is not the intent of the county commission to let anyone change our bill. The county will take care of the issues and concerns recently raised and the bill will move forward.
Sherrel Ward said if the bill goes to the state level with objections from other counties it will be hard to get it approved.
Geary said there are concerns and all involved must exercise patience.
Trish Clabaugh from the BLM introduced two of her employees, Matt Blocker who oversees recreation and Dana Truman in range management. Truman said this has been a busy summer with the fires. Reseeding is taking place on the Lighthouse fire with some drill seeding. Fall grazing is being authorized on a case by case basis. Some fall ranges lack water and forage. Some won't be able to be used this fall season. The need for snow is very crucial this winter for these ranges to promote grass growth in the spring. It is expected the grazing for spring will be looked at on an allotment by allotment basis as well. She said the Skyline Cooperative Weed management group has done some good work on the rangeland this year. Work is being done on some backcountry airstrips to improve them. Truman said she started with the BLM in 2008 and is married to a Huntington man, Rusty Truman who is a veterinarian in the area.
Blocker said he started with the BLM in 2005 in Montana and came down here in May, he works with the rivers, wilderness study areas and non-motorized use.
Geary asked if the Lighthouse fire had exposed any arch sites in Range Creek. Clabaugh answered that Duncan Metcalf who is the lead man at Range Creek from the University of Utah said there have been fires in that canyon for hundreds of years and no damage was done. Rehab work would not include drill seeding in arch areas.
Clabaugh said emergency stabilization projects were funded for three of the fires this year.
Petersen thanked Truman for her work in getting the right of ways for the Little Wild Horse Canyon road project.
Marc Stilson from the Utah Division of Water Rights said there have been no new actions on the lawsuit filed against the water right for the proposed Blue Castle Nuclear Power Plant project near Green River.
Ward reported some chaining will take place on the North Huntington allotment. There will be an information meeting about this project on Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. at the old city hall in Huntington.
Darrin Olsen, from the forest service said work is still being done on the Seeley fire burn area because the weather is holding. Christmas tree sales will begin on Nov. 19. They will be sold out of the Ferron office and at Castle Valley Co-op in Huntington and Main Street Market in Ferron. There will be no Christmas tree cutting in Straight Canyon and Huntington Canyon. Wood permits expire the end of November. There is no wood gathering in Huntington Canyon, but special permits may be issued there to help with the clean-up. The forest service will be hiring a new law enforcement officer due to the retirement of Don Riddle.
The forest service is done for now with the seeding to help with erosion. They are not working with the log jams, that is a state issue. They seeded 8,000 acres with winter wheat to establish some growth.
Gary Petty, lands council member asked what the long range plan for grazing is. Olsen said two cattle and three sheep allotments were majorly affected by the fire. They are taking the matter very seriously and trying to deal with the erosion. They worked to keep the cattle out of the black areas. Olsen said there is no money to replace border fencing.
The Farm Service Agency does have match money to help with replacing fences on private lands that were destroyed by the fire. Some of this financing has been approved at the state and federal level.
Dan Richards reported on the state parks. He said visitation is up this year and the adding of power to the state parks has helped. Ten sites have been added at Millsite and will be ready for use next season. There is a little more operating money now and there are plans to bring back enhancement projects. Richards said he would like to see more development on the beach front. They want to come up with more ideas for day use to get people out to the state parks for swimming and picnics along the beach. The campground at Millsite is closed for the season, but you can still camp in the parking lot and there is still a bathroom open. The Huntington State Park is open year round and the fishing is good reported Richards. There are reduced rates for long term camping. Plans are underway for an ice fishing tournament at Scofield. A fishing tournament which involves three reservoirs might be worked out and you can carry your fish weight totals over. They are also working on a website for the park. Grooming on the snowmobile trails will begin at the end of December. Richards announced he is retiring the end of December and he thanked everyone for the partnerships and the friendships he has made in the area. He will return to South Dakota where he is from and manage a park there.
Ward announced the water subcommittee is looking for new projects to tackle now that the water study is complete.
The council thanked Ward and his committee for the enormous amount of work that went into the water study.
Blake Stewart was introduced and he works under the department of agriculture and they have cost share programs for grazing improvement projects. They can help with pasture fences at a 50 percent match on private ground. They are also looking at creative grazing techniques that increase the numbers and forage for cattle.

Farm Family Awards
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Brian Storseth Westlock—St. Paul, AB
Mr. Speaker, the Canadian agriculture industry is one of the most advanced and competitive in the world. Our producers excel at not only feeding our communities and cities but they have come to be relied upon worldwide.
On November 4, 2007 I had the privilege to attend the Alberta Motor Association and Northlands Farm Family Awards. This event gives recognition to farm families from all over north central Alberta who demonstrate strong values and traditions of the family farm within their rural communities.
Today I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate the two farm families from my riding who received this award. Troy and Jackie Vetsch have operated their family farm with Monty and April Bauer for over 15 years. Both families have not only dedicated much of their spare time to their community, but also to the advancement of their industry.
It is precisely because of the leadership and hard work of people like the Vetsches, Bauers and all the farm family award recipients that the agriculture sector remains the backbone of our great country.
Constable Douglas Scott

Larry Bagnell Yukon, YT
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the member of Parliament for Nunavut and I represented the north at the regimental funeral of RCMP Constable Douglas Scott in Brockville.
It was moving to see the thousands of RCMP and supporters from other forces, and thousands of people from Brockville line the streets.
As we listened to the tributes from his friends, family and fellow police officers, we were made aware of a caring young man dedicated to his friends, family and profession, passionate in serving his country as an RCMP officer posted in the north.
It also struck us that the spirit of Constable Scott embodied the essence and legend of the RCMP in Canada's north.
A young man with so much to offer was slain in the line of duty. It is such a tragic loss.
We are well served by Canada's national police force. Its traditions are carried on by the many men and women who serve today.
This dedication is to the memory of officers like Constable Scott, one of our finest. On behalf of all the residents of Canada's north, we thank his friends, family and colleagues for sharing Constable Scott with us. We cherish his memory and grieve with them the loss of a remarkable young man.
World Diabetes Day
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Christiane Gagnon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, a United Nations resolution has declared November 14 World Diabetes Day.
In Quebec, more than 550,000 people are living with diabetes. It is estimated that the life expectancy of a person with diabetes is cut by 5 to 10 years. The World Health Organization is calling it a new international epidemic, since it estimates that the number of people with diabetes will double by 2025. This increase is directly connected to the growth of obesity.
This year's theme is "Diabetes in Children and Adolescents". It aims to promote awareness and increased prevention among young people and decision makers. Something must be done before it is too late.
The federal government must stop interfering in provincial responsibilities and accumulating surpluses. It must give provinces the financial means to invest in health research. Research is the best approach to discovering a cure for the scourge that is diabetes.
Women's Resource Centres
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Catherine Bell Vancouver Island North, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government cut funding to Status of Women Canada. This negatively impacted the work done by women's resource centres across the country.
In the Comox Valley, women rely on their centre to provide life skills programs and support groups for single parents and women with disabilities, but reduced hours due to the cuts have left some women with no place to turn.
The Campbell River Women's Resource Society just received $49,000 in specific program funding. While they are happy about that, what they really need is core funding to provide continuity of service and keep the centre open more hours.
The Campbell River Women's Resource Society would like to offer in-house programs that are relevant to the needs of women in our communities. Shelters should not be the only place that women can go to for support.
Funding requirements under Status of Women Canada force women's centres to fund raise and fill out grant applications just to keep their doors open.
I am calling on the Conservative government to implement core funding for women's centres so that they can provide the kind of services that are so necessary in all our North Island communities.
Violent Crime Legislation
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Kevin Sorenson Crowfoot, AB
Mr. Speaker, Canadians have told us they want to see our Conservative government's violent crime act move swiftly through the legislative process and finally become law.
Canadians elected us to move quickly and decisively to tackle crime and make our communities safer. They are fed up with a justice system that puts the rights of criminals ahead of the rights of law-abiding citizens.
Bill C-2, the violent crime act, would impose mandatory jail time for serious gun crime; create tougher bail rules when a gun is used to commit a crime; protect our youth by increasing the age of protection for sexual activity from 14 to 16 years; crack down on drug impaired driving; and ensure that high risk and dangerous offenders face tougher consequences and are monitored more closely after release to prevent them from offending again and again.
All the measures included in the legislation were studied in depth by Parliament in the last session and some were held up for over a year. Canadians believe this is unacceptable and expect prompt passage of these crucial measures.
New Horizons for Seniors
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Dominic LeBlanc Beauséjour, NB
Mr. Speaker, the new horizons program has provided much financial assistance to many seniors groups in my riding.
While there is never enough money in this program and while many worthy projects are too often refused funding, the real need is often for infrastructure improvements and renovations of existing community facilities.
In my riding, from Saint-Ignace to Pré d'en Haut, from Dover to Murray Corner, seniors' groups need federal funds to improve their clubs. These community infrastructures must often be improved.
These groups of volunteers give much to our communities, and the federal government must ensure that they are able to modernize their community facilities.
I am asking the government to proceed quickly in approving funding for infrastructure improvements and to be generous with the small rural communities across Canada. More funding is needed to ensure that all seniors groups have fair access to this important program.
World Diabetes Day
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Steven Fletcher Charleswood—St. James—Assiniboia, MB
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to inform the House that today the Canadian Diabetes Association is celebrating the first United Nations recognition of World Diabetes Day.
November 14 was chosen as World Diabetes Day because it is the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, and to commemorate him and Sir Charles Best, the two doctors who discovered insulin.
Our government continues to invest millions to fund research in order to find a cure for diabetes. Diabetes is a serious public health problem in Canada that affects approximately two million Canadians.
To help fight against diabetes, this government has put in place patient wait time guarantees for diabetes on first nation reserves guaranteeing treatment within acceptable wait times for those who need it. Further, our government is promoting healthy living initiatives through the Canada food guide and the physical activity guide.
This Conservative government is serious about addressing public health issues and we are getting the job done. I ask my colleagues to please join me in wishing all diabetes agencies a successful World Diabetes Day.
National Capital Commission
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Richard Nadeau Gatineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, the National Capital Commission paid tribute to the infamous Lord Durham as part of its celebration of Ottawa's 150th anniversary as Canada's capital.
It is deeply hurtful to Quebeckers that people are ignoring the fact that Durham recommended that the British government assimilate francophones. Durham described francophones as inferior in all respects to anglophones, a people with no history whose only salvation lay in assimilation to the English majority.
It is scandalous that the Conservatives, who have proclaimed their respect for the Quebec nation, have allowed a person who described Quebeckers as a nationality "destitute of all that can invigorate and elevate a people" to be honoured in this way.
The Bloc Québécois demands an apology from the minister responsible for the National Capital Commission for this insult to the Quebec nation.
Hon. Member for Saint-Lambert
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, last Sunday, the Bloc Québécois member for Saint-Lambert announced that he will run for the Parti Québécois in the riding of Bourget. I would like to congratulate my hon. Bloc Québécois colleague, here in this House, on his decision to move to provincial politics. His courage, and above all, his foresight should inspire others, beginning with his leader.
The truth is, support for the Bloc Québécois in Quebec is falling like autumn leaves from a tree. His colleagues should face the facts and admit that Quebec is getting stronger within a strong and united Canada and with the Conservative Party in Ottawa—a party that has the means to take action and achieve concrete, real results in the interest of Quebeckers and Canadians.
Juvenile Diabetes
Statements By Members

Raymonde Folco Laval—Les Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and young people in Laval—Les Îles, I would like to present the Minister of Health and the Minister of Finance with keys symbolizing my support for efforts to find a cure for diabetes and its complications.
The families of children with juvenile diabetes are calling on our government to make a real, immediate financial commitment in order to step up research to find a cure for juvenile diabetes.
Together, let us open the door to a cure for juvenile diabetes.
Constable Douglas Scott
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Gord Brown Leeds—Grenville, ON
Mr. Speaker, hundreds of police officers and thousands of citizens gathered in Brockville, Ontario, yesterday to pay tribute at a regimental funeral for slain RCMP Constable Doug Scott, who died while on duty last week. It was a sombre occasion and reminds Canadians of the danger each and every police officer faces each and every day.
Twenty year old Constable Scott, Dougie, as he was known to his family, had always wanted to be an RCMP officer. He was described by his brothers as an amazing son and brother who was always willing and able to be counted upon. He lived his life without regret. He was an inspiration to everyone and showed his brothers and his friends that dreams are possible when we work hard to achieve them.
On behalf of all Canadians, I want to acknowledge and pay tribute to the hard work, leadership and sacrifice of Constable Scott and to express our deepest condolences to his parents, Doug and Marla, and his brothers, Chad and Layne, as well as the rest of his family and his many friends and teachers, who will always remember this remarkable, determined young man.
Atlantic Accord
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Alexa McDonough Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, Nova Scotians still await the federal government's tabling of a clear, binding agreement on the revised offshore resources revenue sharing with Nova Scotia's Conservative government.
In opposition, federal Conservatives championed the Atlantic accord. In government, they tore it up. Now they ask us to trust that their replacement deal will protect the full benefits of the Atlantic accord, but where is any legal document that can hold the government to its promise?
In the last 10 days alone, the government has three times scheduled a briefing of Nova Scotia MPs on the latest deal and three times it has cancelled.
After a year of this reneging on agreements, punishing critics and backroom dealing among the Prime Minister, the Nova Scotia premier and Conservative MPs, Nova Scotians are fed up.
The Atlantic accord was a clear deal with clear benefits. Nova Scotians will accept nothing less. The Conservative deal is not worth the paper it is not even written on. So much for transparency, accountability and integrity in government.

Marlene Jennings Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, November 14, 2007 marks the first World Diabetes Day recognized by the United Nations.
Recently I had the chance to meet with some constituents who turned their own family's experience with juvenile diabetes into truly inspiring advocacy work.
Lynda, Barry and Jordanna Caine have asked me to personally deliver two keys on behalf of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to the Ministers of Finance and Health to highlight the importance of a long term commitment to fund research to find a cure.
It is my pleasure to deliver those keys on their behalf. I echo their hopes that with sustainable and long term federal funding more research can open the doors to a cure.

Mr. Speaker, Quebec's Greek community is a proud community. On Saturday, October 27, despite the rain, thousands of people took part in a rally, here on Parliament Hill, to let the government know that they will never be in agreement with Canada giving the name "Macedonia" to the country run by the Skopje government, as the Conservative government did, in September. Moreover, a large number of demonstrators condemned the introduction of a bill, on May 17, 2007, by a Liberal member, with the support of his party, recognizing the name Macedonia for this new country.
There is a dispute going on between the government in Athens and the Skopje government, regarding the use of the name "Macedonia". For the Greeks, this name is part of their national identity. Until a negotiated settlement is reached between these two countries, the UN is referring to this new state as the "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia".
As far as the Bloc Québécois is concerned, it is not up to Canada to rule on a dispute between these two states. Since this dispute is still—

Theme: Patriotic Duty
Artist: William LONGSTAFF
Birth/Death: 1879–1953
Title: Menin Gate at midnight
Credit Line: Australian War Memorial, Canberra
Depicting the ghosts of fallen soldiers marching past the Menin Gate Memorial in Belgium, William Longstaff's painting achieved iconic status after the First World War as Australians mourned their dead. The Menin Gate was built to commemorate the unmarked graves of 56,000 allied soldiers who died in the Ypres area of Belgium. The sheer scale of this horror is beyond the human imagination. In all 60,000 Australians died overseas in the First World War. Only one was brought home for burial. For so many to have died without any identifiable trace was an additional grief for their families. During the painting's tour across the country in 1928–29, it gave solace to the hundreds of thousands of people who saw it. Over the next decade, thousands of lithographic copies were sold and hung in homes around Australia. Longstaff described how the painting came about. He had attended the dedication ceremony of the Menin Gate and that night, unable to sleep, he had walked back to the Memorial. While standing there he had a vision of all the spirits of the dead rising up from the cornfields.

Self-healing electronics, antennas that can change shape and function with the flick of a switch and clothing woven with conductive threads able to electrically connect devices may seem like science fiction fodder. But, for scientists at the Air Force Research Laboratory, these concepts are much closer to reality.

Simulation is typically used for analyzing and optimizing the nominal configuration of devices like antennas to assess the electrical performance of the device for its desired application. However, simulation cannot necessarily provide performance data when the matter under consideration is designed for use on a satellite or something else. Modeling tools can then be used to synthesize an equivalent model of an antenna using its design specifications as input data so that its position and performance can be analyzed while on a platform.
Millimeter wave frequencies were traditionally dedicated to military applications with some commercial use for point to point microwave links. Sub-octave bandwidth waveguide was the preferred transmission line as millimeter wave capable coax cable and connectors were not available. All that has changed in the past decade with technology improvements in semiconductors, components, cable, and connectors. It is now possible to use millimeter wave frequencies for commercial / consumer electronics. This white paper will discuss issues of transferring millimeter wave signals through coax cable within a test system and the benefits of improved measurement accuracy by reducing the size of the test equipment and using fewer interconnections.
With new applications, technologies, and standards being developed and deployed, there is increasing value placed on monitoring the wireless spectrum by both public and private stakeholders. Those who own the rights to a portion of the spectrum actively attempt to protect and maximize the utility of their investment, while regulators strive to promote efficient use and minimize interference among users. What was once an engineering technician's duty has now very often become the dedicated responsibility of a multifunctional team. This article discusses today's spectrum monitoring requirements, and the most efficient processes for capturing, analysis, storage, and how the RTSA7550 Spectrum Analyzer is ideal for these requirements.
Often times, cables in electronic systems are exposed as the weakest components of a system when subjected to hostile environments. This white paper presents numerous environmental challenges, such as the ability of connectors to seal out dust, dirt, and water, which must be addressed by cable connector manufacturers, along with a variety of standards that possibly need to be met.
It is imperative for military organizations around the globe to be able to find ways to lighten the loads that soldiers carry into battle. Every piece of equipment must be able to improve communications, agility, and lethality for soldier reliability. Connector and cabling solutions have been identified as one place to make such improvements. This white paper takes a close look at the miniaturization of military connectors, and addresses issues of size, weight and functionality.

Technical Problems FAQ
What do I do if my wireless signal strength is poor?
Many factors, ranging from wireless modem placement to interference from other wireless modems or routers, can contribute to intermittent or weak wireless signals.
If all of your devices are experiencing intermittent connectivity, it is most likely an issue with your wireless modem's settings and/or location.
If only certain devices are experiencing intermittent connectivity, this is most likely an individual device or placement issue.
Consult the manufacturer of the device which is receiving the weak signal.
Sometimes, interference can cause intermittent of weak connectivity. Try changing the channel over which your wireless modem broadcasts. The placement of the wireless modem can also contribute to intermittent or weak signals. Ensure that the wireless modem is in a central location if possible. Also, ensure that the modem is placed away from other electrical devices or appliances. Common sources of interference include portable phones, microwaves and electrical panels. Objects or obstructions between the modem/router and wireless devices, such as metal or concrete walls, large metal appliances, metal cabinets or aquariums, can also cause interference.
A reset of the Wireless Modem may be in order. These are instructions on how to reset the modem to its default settings.
If you continue to experience poor signal strength from your wireless modem, contact our technical support.

Okay, well after watching the news the other night, I found it pretty amazing how many of them DIDNT KNOW SHIT ABOUT THE WHOLE ELECTION AND ONLY VOTED FOR OBAMA CAUSE HE WAS BLACK. The reporter would go up to some of the guys and ask them trick questions to see if they actually paid any attention and ask " So, how do you feel about having a female as your vice president now?" Most of them replied with an answer such as " Its no big deal " or " Its all good " or " I have no problem with it "
I just find it funny how a lot of people ( not only black people ) only voted for Obama because he is black and paid NO attention as to what was actually going on.
This is not a racist post or anything so please dont think that. Im just sharing with you all what I watched the other night and wondering what you all thought about this..
If you want to live in a democracy you take the good with bad. There is a saying that goes essentially, democracy is a horrible form of government but its also the best option we have. Many influential thinkers like Plato despised democracy because everyone can vote and everyone has a say in the government. He thought it was ridiculous that we would let anyone but the most intelligent and most qualified people make such an important decision as to how the government should be run. We, as Americans, pride ourselves on such rhetoric as freedom, democracy, and undeniable human rights. Of course most people just like saying it and not actually paying attention to what their saying.
If you want to live in a democracy and benefit from it, you need to understand what democracy entails. In a democracy, everyone has a say. Sure the electoral college was meant to lessen that, but we love to say we are "spreading democracy." Guess what that means? It means everyone can vote, the dumb people, the racist people, the religious zealots, the insanely ignorant, the well-informed, the party fanatics, everyone. Its simply the way our country has come to be run.
Personally, I agree with a guy like Plato. But his ideas are only practical in theory. In reality, limiting the power of government to a select group of people leads to corruption, tyranny, and misery. So in an effort to fend off such unwanted vices, we are caught in a balancing act. To often then not, that leads to mediocracy. Elections become not about the best person for the job, but rather the least offensive. Fortunately for all of us, this time I think we may have gotten lucky. Obama may have been elected because of his superior popularity, but he may also be one of the few who really does have a chance at effectively leading this country.
