At the world's largest trade show for outdoor gear, one trend this year is lighter or more powerful equipment. The makers of a pint-sized hydrogen battery say it can give a cellphone five complete charges before it needs a recharge itself. Others are showcasing solar cells that roll up for easy packing. Also on display are featherweight canoes, kayaks and standup paddleboards. The Outdoor Retailer Summer Market opens for a four-day run Wednesday. More than 1,300 manufacturers and suppliers are packing the floor of a Salt Lake City convention hall, plus three outdoor canopy tents. The summer and winter trade shows have been a mainstay in Utah since 1996, drawing consistently larger crowds, although attendance leveled off this year. More than 25,000 people are expected at the trade show this week, many of them retailers, who are placing bulk orders for specialty outdoor shops around the world. Exhibitors were unpacking crates Tuesday, displaying a merchandise bazaar that would make a consumer drool — except the public isn't allowed inside. ''This show has morphed into a mecca for the outdoor action-sports world,'' says Peter Kray, publisher of the Gear Institute of Santa Fe, N.M., a network of outdoor gear testers and experts who try out and promote the best gear. A number of magazines and websites, including gearjunkie.com, also rate the gear and fashions to come out of the Salt Lake show before the new products hit the mainstream. Kray's picks include Smith Chroma Pop lenses — ''awesome color'' — and an improvement on Easton tent poles that nearly doubles their strength and flexibility in heavy winds. Kray also is celebrating a hydration bladder not for water, but whisky or tequila — ''perfect,'' he says. Even socks have come a long way, with more than 100 companies in a foot race to stich the finest wool blends. A pair can cost $25, but makers say they last practically a lifetime. Cabot Hosiery Mills Inc. says its Darn Tough Vermont socks can withstand 30,000 machine rubs before wearing thin. The jam-packed expo underscores a thriving corner of the economy. Outdoor-gear sales have grown at 5 percent or more annually through recent years of recession, analysts said. ''The industry is doing well. Patagonia has weathered the storm,'' said Tania Bjornlie, a trade-show manager for the Ventura, Calif.-based industry giant long known for its sleek outdoor clothing. Patagonia is showing off a new line of day packs. ''Everything at the show is getting more technical, lighter, faster,'' Bjornlie said. Utah has become a cottage industry for innovators and established brands including Petzl, best known for its headlamps and climbing gear. Petzl says business is growing steadily: It's opening a new factory in a Salt Lake City suburb. Outdoor sports ''is a passion for a lot of people,'' said John Evans, a Petzl marketing director. ''Even if the economy is not running at full steam, people still pursue their passions.'' A hydrogen battery pack the size of a deck of cards can be found at an exhibit for Brunton, a subsidiary of Stockholm-based Fenix Outdoor AB., which specializes in navigation, optics and now, ''portable power.'' At $150, Brunton's hydrogen battery pack can be recharged at retail shops for $8 a pop. Brunton says the battery takes hydrogen out of water and mixes ambient oxygen when it's time to charge a cellphone or other electronic device. ''It's the lightest, toughest, most portable hydrogen reactor,'' said Walter Kaihatu, vice president for sales and marketing at Boulder, Colo.-based Brunton. ''It has really high capacity. It can charge a cellphone five times from dead, and works in a range of temperatures.'' Oh Snap!

Loaded gun, drugs found during traffic stop A traffic enforcement stop early Wednesday led to the arrest of a 35-yearold Red Bluff on drug and firearm charges. Around 3:30 a.m. Tehama County Sheriff's deputies conducted a stop on a blue Jeep Cherokee SUV near Montgomery Road and South Main Street. The driver, Shelby Miller, identified himself with a California ID card. Deputies learned Miller did not have a valid driver's license. They located two firearms in the rear portion of the vehicle.

During an inventory search of the vehicle, prior to having it towed, deputies found 0.6 grams ents, Thomas and Jennifer Botell, witnessed the tragedy. In his ruling, Nunley said the government did not dispute that prior to Tommy's death, Lassen Park officials were concerned about the dangers posed to the public by mortared retaining walls. Nunley previously found the National Park Service negligent in the case at the recommendation of a of methamphetamine in a pill container attached to Miller's keys. Miller was booked at Tehama County Jail for possession of a controlled substance, transportation of a controlled substance and loaded firearm in a vehicle. Bail was $55,000. magistrate judge who determined that officials at the park intentionally demolished the remaining portions of the retaining wall that crushed Tommy before investigators could examine it. The government argued that workers knocked down what remained of the wall shortly after the accident because they felt it posed a danger to other hikers. The inmates at Ishi Conservation Camp also prepare meals that are distributed to firefighters and other personnel throughout the state. The grand jury noted that camp buildings were scheduled to be rebuilt eight years ago but hadn't because of budget considerations. "Inmates remodeled the offices and showers and the work was done to a professional standard," according to the grand jury report. Eligible inmates go through physical and fire training before they reach the Ishi Conservation Camp, officials said. Those who don't pass a fitness and fire test, the grand jury noted, must stay at the camp and are assigned to kitchen, garden and trade duties. "A bus travels from Susanville prison to Ishi once a week to drop off and pick up inmates as need," according to the grand jury report. Hershberger said the camp is good for the community and saves the state money. guitar since he was four years old.

At 2 p.m. Joseph Howorth, a promising young ballet dancer, will exhibit the talent that got him accepted into the Joffrey Ballet School fouryear conservatory in New York City. He will finish his senior year of high school on line as part of the Joffrey program. The Community Center Auxiliary has donated toward his huge financial burden. Magic and comedy are the specialties of Bryan Gilles, who goes on at 2:30 p.m. A second generation magician, he studied magic's deep and rich history, and what made the illusionists of yesteryear so wonderful.

Money originally raised by the Auxiliary not only showed community support to enable grant money to be given by the state, it also bought tables, chairs, dishes, flatware and other furnishings. It contributed to building materials for the covered entry, parking lot, storage buildings, roof and other needs. More recently it has bought replacements for the original purchases. STATE BRIEFING Unmanned sub has problems during Lake Tahoe test SOUTH LAKE TAHOE (AP) — An unmanned submarine designed to explore earthquake faults has run into motor problems during a test at Lake Tahoe. The Los Angeles Times says the sub was supposed to dive more than 1,000 feet under the Sierra Nevada lake earlier this month but problems cropped up during shallower test dives. Gordon Seitz with the California Geological Survey says engineers were still able to test the sub's remote controls, cameras, measuring laser and other equipment. They're hoping for another test run next spring. The 28-foot-long sub is designed to explore under the Antarctic ice. The Lake Tahoe tests will explore a fault that experts say could produce a quake with a magnitude of 7.1 to 7.4. Rare foul flower spreads stench at Calif. college SANTA BARBARA (AP) — The corpse flower has come alive. The huge, rare and famously putrid Indonesian flower is blooming for one day Wednesday, spreading its stench across the University of California, Santa Barbara. The university said in a statement that the flower ''smells like a cross between rotting flesh and Limburger cheese,'' and the greenhouse where it's unfurling its blossom is open to members of the public who want to take a whiff. The flower uses flies instead of bees to spread its sticky pollen. It produces two sulfurous chemicals within its leaves that the flies find attractive. The plant at UCSB is 4 feet tall and growing fast. So. Cal Sikh temple wall vandalized JURUPA VALLEY (AP) — A Sikh temple in Riverside County has been targeted by a vandal who spraypainted the word ''terrorist'' on a surrounding wall. The Riverside Press-Enterprise (http://bit.ly/13wYELu ) says the graffiti was scrawled on the temple wall in Jurupa Valley on Monday night. Sikh leaders say it's hate speech and they've reported it to county sheriff's deputies. Sikhs says their traditional turbans and long beards can make them targets for people who confuse them with Islamic extremists.
