Entertainment"$' Opinion Home I Nation Organized activities can be overdone, doctors say Some advice for parents: Time for your kids to be kids is just as important for good health as academics and sports, researchers report. Maura Lerner, Star Tribune Last update: October 09,2006 - 8:10 PM This summer, Maya Li Dobis was signed up for swim lessons, sports and summer camp. And some days, the 5-year-old just didn't want to leave the house. "Then I realized it was too much," said her mother, Sarah Dobis, 38. "We stopped going to some lessons." The result: more play time for Maya Li. That's just the kind of change the American Academy of Pediatrics would like to see across the country. On Monday, the academy released a report saying that today's overscheduled children need more "free play and unscheduled time." In effect, the report urged parents to schedule free time so their children can act like kids. "Parents need to realize that kids should not have every minute Printer friendly !2!J E-mail this story ~ Save to deLicio.us TOOLS SPOI'tSOF,ECI BY: Cecelia Dobis makes her own fun.

Organized activities can be overdone, doctors say , scheduled," said Dr. Daniel Broughton, a Mayo Clinic pediatrician who helped co- author the report, called "The Importance of Play in Promoting Healthy Child Development and Maintaining Strong Parent-Child Bonds. " Missouri school shooting ends when gun jams Runaway bride sues ex-fiancee Army hopes new slogan will pack more punch Missouri school spared bloodshed when gun jams The report argues that child's play helps a child develop socially and emotionally, and deserves its own place alongside academic enrichment and sports programs. It is, the report admits, mainly a problem of the most-fortunate in society. But it said that harried lifestyles are threatening the right to play. Dobis, the mother of two, admits that she's been tempted to overschedule her school-age daughter. "It's very easy to get caught in the whole trap," she said. "I do have moments of pressure where I feel like, 'Oh-oh, so-and-so is taking dance; I suppose my five-year- old can be in ballet. "But I've intentionally said no, I think it's good for her to have free play." Eric Hobbs, 26, a stay-at-home dad in St. Paul, agreed. "The way school is now, I think there's more pressure to get kids scheduled so they can compete," he said while watching 3-year-old Benjamin, and 7-month-old Madelyn at St. Paul's Mattocks Park on Monday. "I think a lot of kids just aren't being kids anymore. They're growing up too quickly." Kids 'losing out on childhood' Marilee Christensen-Adams said she sees both sides as assistant manager of the Early Childhood Family Education program in the Anoka-Hennepin school district. "We're being pressured by lots of arenas to promote academic readiness," she said, adding that if kids only play in organized settings, they may miss the chance to be creative or solve conflicts on their own. Her reaction to the report? "Amen," she said. Among pediatricians, it's been a growing concern, said Broughton, one of seven physicians on the panel that wrote the report.

"Obviously, we're very concerned about children who live in situations where they don't have any supervision and parents are not involved and not caring. "We've been dealing with those for years. This is almost the flip side of that, where children are losing out on their childhood."

Andrew Simons, Dept Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Biology, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN 55108 Carps and minnows are members of the order Cypriniformes in the Otophysi. The Otophysi is arguably one of the most successful groups of freshwater fishes accounting for over 25% of teleost diversity and over 60% of freshwater fishes; the Cypriniformes contains the majority of otophysan species. This diversity is likely a function of key morphological and physiological innovations as well as isolation leading to allopatric speciation, a factor facilitated by freshwater environments. Carps and minnows are members of the family Cyprinidae which contains over 2,000 described species and perhaps as many undescribed forms. Carps are simply large minnows, and an increase in size has evolved multiple times within Cyprinidae. The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is not closely related to other invasive Asian carps in North America and given the diversity and age of the Cypriniformes, generalizations regarding the biology of invasive carps must be critically reviewed. Overview of the biology of the common carp. Peter W. Sorensen, Dept Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Biology, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN 55108 The common carp, Cyprinus carpio, has a remarkable and incompletely understood life history. In North America carp apparently mature at 3-4years of age although considerable plasticity likely exists. Females can carryover a million eggs and may spawn multiple times in a year, depositing their sticky eggs onto aquatic vegetation in the early morning. Final maturation and ovulation is likely triggered by the presence of spawning vegetation, optimal temperatures, and pheromones - and thus is quite plastic. Males compete for access to females using scramble competition, likely recognizing them using pheromones. Carp eggs hatch into sac fry within 4-12 days and grow quickly, absorbing their yolk sacs and becoming pelagic feeders. This phase is very poorly understood but critical to survival. At some point juvenile carp start to feed from the bottom using specialized sensory abilities and do so with great efficiency. Adults appear to prefer warm temperature at which their consumption and growth is greatest. Adult carp also move actively in the spring, often forming shoals. Even if not completely understood, shoaling might been exploited for controlling this clever fish by using carp barriers and traps. (Funded by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources). 4 if Impacts of bottom feeding fish on lake vegetation and nutrients Steve McComas, Blue Water Science, St. Paul, MN Numerous studies have illustrated the adverse influence of bottom-feeding fish on lake vegetation and water quality. However, in some lakes, carp and other bottom feeding fish are present but do not create water quality problems. There must be a fish density threshold where below a certain fish density, the bottom feeders do not substantially contribute to water quality problems. There is some evidence for fish density thresholds in Minnesota lakes for several species. Preliminary thresholds include the following: carp: 80-100 pounds per acre; bluegills: greater than 100 per trapnet; black bullheads: greater than 50 per trapnet and fathead minnows: 10 pounds per acre. If these thresholds can be confirmed, it would help lake managers develop fish density goals for removal or control efforts. Ducks, Shallow lakes and carp Josh Kavanagh, Ryan Heiniger, Jon Schneider, Robert Usgaard, Ducks Unlimited, MN The main impetus of Ducks Unlimited's (DU) "Living Lakes" conservation initiative is the highly degraded nature of shallow lakes and large wetlands throughout the prairie and transition landscape of Minnesota and Iowa, and the corresponding decline in use of these wetlands by migrating ducks, which is presumably primarily due to lack of aquatic plants and invertebrate food resources. DU believes that in many cases, the degraded nature of these large basins was either caused or is being maintained (or both) by fish, especially carp and bullheads, which have been able to gain access and over-winter in them through highly altered hydrology and increasingly warm, mild winters. As a result, DU is promoting active water level management (major seasonal draw-downs to induce fish winterkill) and the installation of physical fish barriers that will reduce fish abundance and fish reentry into key shallow lake and large wetlands that have been identified as important duck migrating and brood-rearing wetlands by state and federal agency field biologists. Subsequent spring and summer drawdowns are also advocated following successful fish winterkill events to further rejuvenate wetland productivity (especially to consolidate soils and stimulate emergent plant germination) when precipitation and runoff conditions allow. In partnership with the Minnesota DNR and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, DU biologists and engineers are actively assessing, designing, and constructing water control structures and fish barriers for the outlets of large wetlands and shallow lakes that will provide agency field managers with the means to temporarily dewater basins and bar subsequent fish reentry. DU engineers recommend a wide range of structures from traditional stop-log water control structures combined with velocity tubes or chutes through which fish cannot physically pass while attempting to move upstream to siphons and pumps to dewater with either electric barriers and/or swinging finger barriers, to rotating screen drums in low flow situations coming into or out of a basin. Regardless of what type of physical fish barrier design is applied, some fish eventually become present in managed basins, and periodic summer/fall draw-downs that induce fish winterkill appear to be critical to maintaining managed shallow lakes in the clear-water stage with abundant aquatic plants and invertebrates and a relatively low 5 ... density carp and other fish. To further improve engineering designs and management efforts, the efficacy of various fish barrier designs should be further studied and evaluated. Carp Removal and Sport Fishery Impacts at Lake Ann Paul Diedrich, DNR Fisheries, Montrose, MN and Ken Seeman, Commercial Fisherman, Dassel, MN Since 1980 more than 450,000 pounds of carp have been removed from Lake Ann, a 386 . acre lake in south-central Minnesota. Sport fishes have responded to the removal and also to eutrophic conditions. Principal species are walleye and black crappie, which are commonly associated with carp and bullhead populations. A commercial haul of 120,000 pounds of carp in February 2006 was one of the largest hauls ever made for a Minnesota lake of this size. This haul alone accounted for 41 adult carp per acre. Shallow, connected lakes prone to winterkill have great potential for carp production. Why are carps so invasive? Duane Chapman,US Geological Survey, Columbia Environmental Research Center Columbia, MO Carps originating in Asia have been introduced and become established in every continent except Antarctica. Why are these fishes so successful in their new homes? This paper will briefly address how carps (particularly common carp, silver carp, and bighead carp) might fit into contemporary thought regarding factors that influence invasiveness. Topics touched on will include founder effects, r - versus K-strategies, degree of phylogenetic relatedness to native species, enemy release, novel weapon theory, and niche breadth and behavioral flexibility. The paper is intended to be food for thought and discussion, and not a definitive analysis Asian carp threat: What, Where, What next? Jay Rendall, Invasive Species Program Coordinator - MNDNR - EcoServices St. Paul, MN Four species of Asian carp (black, bighead, grass and silver) can cause significant problems for fisheries, wildlife, and water recreation. Each of the species has the potential to affect different aquatic resources including aquatic plants, plankton, mollusks, and fish populations. The silver carp also jump out of the water and are a potential danger for participants in water recreation. Three and possibly four of the species have established populations in the Mississippi River basin and can move throughout the river and its tributaries including into the waters of Minnesota. Once they 6 are here, it is unlikely they will be eliminated and control options are limited. There is a window of opportunity to slow the spread of these species into the state via the Mississippi River and its tributaries. Because of the significant impact, the Asian carp and other invasive fish could have, Minnesota DNR, Wisconsin DNR, and USFWS investigated the potential to use existing fish barrier technologies (e.g. electric, acoustic, and bubble barriers) to prevent invasive fish species from moving upstream in the Mississippi River from Iowa and into Minnesota waters. The Department is seeking Federal funding to have two bio-acoustic fish fences installed in the Mississippi River. The proposed fish barriers are also a concern because they could also affect migration of native fish. Some of the research regarding control of common carp may be useful in the management of Asian carp. A National Management and Control Plan for Asian Carps Greg Conover, USFWS, Carterville Fishery Resources Office, Marion, IL The Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force (Task Force) determined that Asian carps are nuisance species that warrant active control by natural resources management agencies and requested the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Region 3 Fisheries Program develop a national management and control plan for these fishes. In early 2004, the USFWS and Task Force organized an Asian Carp Working Group (Working Group) with broad and diverse representation from partners and stakeholders to participate in the collaborative development of the national management and control plan. The collaborative process, though difficult at times, resulted in more effective communication among stakeholders and a more effective plan to manage these invasive fishes. The draft plan has been approved by the Task Force for public comment, a Federal Register notice is in preparation, and the draft plan will soon be available for review at www.ANSTaskForce.gov. The draft plan addresses a range of management issues, including the need for an integrated control program to reduce population abundance and, when possible, to eradicate feral Asian carps. A suite of potential control strategies are identified, however all require further research and development before they can be effectively implemented. Concurrent research is needed to develop population and biomass models to estimate and evaluate efficacy of potential control strategies. Approaches to control populations of common carp and Asian carps are likely to be very similar. Natural resources managers and researchers working to control both common and Asian carps should actively coordinate to share information and resources for greatest effectiveness. Extant control strategies for the common carp. Peter W. Sorensen, University of Minnesota, S1. Paul, MN Options to control and manage common carp are few., of restricted utility, unsustainable and poorly documented. No technology exists at present that is suitable for use in large, 7 open bodies of water. For relatively small enclosed bodies of water, the 'favored' technique is usually to treat the system with rotenone, a plant root extract that kills all fish. However, rotenone application is expensive, particularly because it requires re- stocking of the system and construction of a barrier to prevent re-invasion. Other options for smaller systems include physical removal of fish using large-scale gear and/or drawing water-levels down to reduce spawning success. Neither technique is simple and although many believe they can be effective, this has yet to be either documented or analyzed in a systematic manner to produce guidelines for sustained use. Another option that is commonly employed is construction of barriers to prevent the migration of adults but the effect of this strategy on carp populations is also undocumented. New tools and policies to guide carp management are urgently needed. Efforts to control common carp in shallow lakes in Minnesota Nicole Hansel-Welch, Shallow Lakes Program, DNR Wildlife Management Section Brainerd, MN Carp have been detrimental to wildlife and waterfowl habitat in many of the shallow lakes in southern and central Minnesota. The DNR Wildlife Management Section has made various attempts throughout recent decades to control common carp in a few shallow lakes that historically have been important for waterfowl. Management has involved a combination of various types of fish barriers, drawdowns and chemical treatments. These efforts have been expensive and have produced variable results. Despite the cost and difficulties associated with carp management, the alternative of no active management would result further degradation of some of the most of the important waterfowl lakes in southern Minnesota. Advanced electrofishing technologies to control invasive specie Jeff Smith, Smith-Root, Inc., Vancouver, W A Smith-Root is working to apply its four decades of experience designing and manufacturing electrofishing technology to the development of invasive species control. Smith-Root is developing large scale electrofishing and fish collection technology to support cost-effective non-native fish removal in lakes, reservoirs or rivers where the primary existing control option is the use of piscicides. This technology would allow the collection and retention of desirable species while also removing the unwanted species. Smith-Root is looking for partnerships that will further the goal of developing a viable option to the application of piscicides for invasive fish species control. Acoustic-bubble barriers as a means to control Asian carp movements Mark A. Pegg, School of Natural Resources, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 8 Nonindigenous bighead carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis are rapidly moving up the Illinois River towards Lake Michigan. Consequently, the use of behavioral fish guidance technology to deter the range expansion of these invaders has generated considerable interest. Experiments using a hybrid Sound Projector Array driven BioAcoustic Fish Fence (SPA driven BAFF) were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of two different sound signals in repelling bighead carp in outdoor fish raceways. A total of 3,219 attempts to cross the SPA driven BAFF system using the first sound signal (20 - 500 Hz) were made by bighead carp. Of those attempts, 57% were successful repels. In contrast, only 284 attempts were made by bighead carp to cross the SPA driven BAFF using the second sound signal (20 - 2000 Hz) and 95% of those attempts were successful repels. Our results indicate that the SPA driven BAFF using the second sound signal can be an effective means of keeping bighead carp away from regions were their presence is unwanted. Uses of Rotenone and Antimycin to Control Carp Species JeffJ.Rach, U.S. Geological Survey, Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center La Crosse, WI Asian and common carps introduction into United States waters has caused catastrophic damage to native species populations and the environment. An integrated approach of chemical, biological, and physical measures is needed to control invasive carp species populating native waters. Rotenone and antimycin are the only registered general fish piscicides that can be legally used to control unwanted carp species. This presentation will include physical and toxicological information on rotenone and antimycin use in fish reclamation projects. Common carp (Cyprinuscarpio) removal in Utah Lake, Utah. An effort to down-list the endangered June sucker (Chasmistes liorus). Kris Buelow, June Sucker Recovery Program Coordinator, Central Utah Water Conservancy District, Orem, UT The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was introduced into Utah Lake, Utah in the late l800s and had established a viable population by the early 1900s. As a result, the lake has changed from a rooted aquatic plant community to a phytoplankton driven community with few rooted plants. These conditions have persisted and as a result have lead to the loss of biodiversity and a poor public opinion of the lake. Several native fish species in the lake have been extirpated and one endemic species is now extinct. The listing of the June sucker (Chasmistes liorus) as endangered, along with renewed public interests in the lake, has fueled efforts to investigate the possibilities of reducing carp biomass in the lake to improve water quality and June sucker survivorship. Initial studies funded by the June Sucker Recovery Program indicate that a reduction of common carp 9 can be achieved through mechanical methods. It is proposed that carp populations can be reduced by 75 % in 4 to 8 years and by 90% in 5 to 9 years. Full scale removal efforts will begin in the 2007 fiscal year. Integrated pest management of common carp. Peter W. Sorensen, University of Minnesota, St Paul, MN Integrated pest management (IPM) involves the long-term use of multiple strategies to control a pest species in an economically, socially, and ecological sustainable manner. These strategies can take many forms and are now commonly used to control invasive insects, although sea lamprey control in the Great Lakes is being revised along these lines. In the case of sea lamprey, removal strategies involving toxicants and pheromone- driven trapping are being paired with the introduction of sterilized males following protocols guided by a statistical models that identity the most promising systems to treat and the ways to treat them best. Carp would appear to represent an excellent candidate species for IPM, indeed few other options may exist. Pheromones and their possible use in common carp control. Haude Levesque* and Peter W. Sorensen *, Dept Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Biology, University of Minnesota, St Paul, MN Pheromones are natural chemical signals that pass between individuals of the same species, a trait which gives them excellent potential to be useful invasive species control. This is particularly the case for carp whose olfactory system can detect pheromonal cues at concentrations approaching a gram in 10 billion liters of water and whose close relative the goldfish cannot locate mates if its olfactory system is blocked. Further, 5 sex pheromones have now been identified in the goldfish and while carp almost certainly use very similar to identical cues, none appear to be very useful because they only stimulate males. Here, we focus on identifying pheromonal attractants for female carp as our models (see Bajer et ai, this conference) suggest they are by far the most important to target. We use goldfish as model because they are much easier to study in a laboratory setting and confirm with carp. We have found that immature goldfish are attracted to the odor of other immature fish (p<0.05), and further that this cue can be concentrated (p<0.05), permitting future identification. We also find strong evidence that sexually- mature female goldfish are specifically attracted to immature and male conspecific odors. Further, sexually receptive female are attracted to only mature male odor demonstrating that male-specific pheromonal attractants exist. Ongoing studies of carp are uncovering the same trends: immature and sexually-mature female carp are both strongly attracted to conspecific odor. Future studies will focus on identifying these pheromones and testing them in the field, perhaps in combination with various capture technologies (Funded by the Legislative-Citizen Commission for Minnesota Resources). 10 Carp Distribution in an Iowa Lake and What it Could Mean to Removal Chris Penne*, Iowa Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit, Clay Pierce, Department of Natural Resources Ecology & Management, Iowa Sate University, Ames, IA Since its arrival in North America in the late 1800' s, the highly competitive common carp (Cyprinus carpio) has become one of the continent's most widely distributed fish species. Carp in search of food often physically uproot aquatic vegetation and suspend large amounts of sediment in the water column. In Clear Lake and other systems with high carp biomass, the collective activity of these fish can reduce habitat quality for the native biota and accentuate water quality decline, making reduction of carp numbers a key objective in improving lake health. To formulate an efficient and effective control strategy, radio telemetry was used to collect data on the seasonal distribution, habitat use, and aggregation areas of adult and juvenile carp in Clear Lake. Carp selected for shallow vegetation in all seasons, especially spring and fall. Carp also selected for shallow water muck in the spring. Results suggest that although common carp in Clear Lake are dispersed throughout much of the year, there are brief periods in the late fall, winter, and early spring where adult fish form large aggregations and are vulnerable to removal. It is during these time periods that commercial fishing would be most efficient at removing high numbers of fish and lowering carp density within the lake. Understanding carp population dynamics: a key to control Przemek Bajer* and Peter W. Sorensen, and Paul Brown, Dept. Primary Industries, Marine and Freshwater Resources, Victoria, Australia The size of all populations of fish including common carp is ultimately determined by recruitment and survival rates. Understanding how these two processes are controlled by predation, food availability, competition, weather, etc. should allow one to predict population size over time. This exercise is most easily/ appropriately performed using a statistical model or fish population dynamics model (PDM) which allows one to adjust various parameters whether and how they might influence population size. As such, PDMs can be employed to provide critical guidance about how to either control/ exploit a population of fish or alternatively to conserve it. Because fish management is very expensive and it can take a long time for results to become apparent, PDMs can be very powerful tools in guiding invasive fish control. Models are only as good as the data used to create them, and despite the fact that common carp is the most damaging invasive fish in North America, very little biological data presently exist on carp. We aim to develop a PDM for carp in Minnesota, and this study describes the initial stages of that process. Six populations of carp are presently being sampled to estimate fish abundances, length and age structures, and recruitment. Estimated carp densities range from 5-80 individuals/acre with carp representing the dominant biomass in many lakes. Preliminary analysis of length structures demonstrates recruitment failure in 2006 in all but one lake despite high adult carp density and vigorous spawning activity. In some lakes only large (old)l 11 individuals were found indicating recruitment failure for several consecutive years. Recruitment was strongest in a lake with the densest carp population where many age classes were present indicating that some lakes have a history of consistently strong recruitment. Early findings indicate that recruitment failure is common and not correlated with adult abundance, and thus that some as yet unknown biological factors can effectively control this species.. Future research will determine recruitment history in the study lakes. Also, historical weather, hydrological, and biological data (e.g. predator fish abundance) will be evaluated to determine what factors might explain recruitment trends.
