CALIFORNIA OUTDOORS Q&A

What is CDFW’s Role in Handling Oil Spills?

Oil Spill Response Q: I’ve been reading news reports about the recent oil spills in the San Francisco Bay Area and learned that the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is the lead state agency handling oil spills. How did the department assume this authority? (Dave) A: CDFW’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR) was established by the Lempert-Keene-Seastrand Oil Spill Prevention and Response Act of 1990.

The legislation came on the heels of two major spills, the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, in which 11 million gallons of crude oil was released, and the American Trader spill in Orange County in 1990 that resulted in a release of 416,598 gallons of crude oil.

OSPR works to protect and preserve 3,400 miles of shoreline and 7,700 square miles of state waters from petroleum substances. When a spill occurs, OSPR deploys a team of wildlife officers, scientists and oil spill prevention specialists to manage the state’s response. These responders often work within a unified command that includes federal and local agencies, and the responsible party.

OSPR is also the state’s public trustee in protecting, managing and restoring California’s wildlife and habitat after an oil spill.

Disabled Veteran Q: I am a disabled veteran and was wondering if there are any hunts on Grizzly Island in Solano County that I could participate in. (Hal)

A: The Grizzly Island Wildlife Area has a duck blind reserved for those with disabilities each shoot day during waterfowl season. It’s available via CDFW’s Online License Sales and Services website. If nobody claims the blind one hour before shoot time — it becomes available on a first-come, first served basis to those with disabilities.

There is a separate online reservation application process for mobility impaired waterfowl hunters. CDFW and the national wildlife refuges it staffs during waterfowl season have dozens of duck blinds throughout northern California reserved just for disabled hunters via this online application process. Our advice would be to not limit yourself just to the one blind at Grizzly Island. Disabled duck blinds at Gray Lodge and Little Dry Creek — among many others — can shoot really well at times. Here’s a link to all of those blinds along with instructions on how to apply along with other entry procedures once the waterfowl season rolls around in the fall: wildlife.ca.gov/Hunting/ Waterfowl/Disabled-Access. It would also be a good idea to give the staff at Grizzly Island a call to see just how popular the mobility impaired duck blind is, how it shoots and whether your chances are good at accessing it without a reservation. Grizzly Island staff can be reached at (707) 425-3828.

While Grizzly Island hosts some limited, big-game hunts each year — for tule elk in the fall through CDFW’s Big Game Drawing and for wild pig in the spring on its Joice Island Unit through a separate, online drawing — there are no special, mobility-impaired offerings here.

As a disabled veteran, however, you may qualify for CDFW’s Disabled Veteran Reduced Fee Hunting License, which is available at a significant dis-

count to resident and nonresident disabled veterans honorably discharged with a 50 percent or greater serviceconnected disability. You might also be eligible for a Disabled Archer Permit, which allows the use of crossbows during California’s archery-only deer seasons (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, section 354(j)). More information is available at CDFW’s Reduced Fee Hunting License and Disabled Entitlements webpage.

Sea Urchins Q: Where can I legally go tide-pooling for sea urchins?

A: The take of invertebrate species in ocean waters is authorized in California Code of Regulations, Title 14, section 29.05 and 29.06. You may take any species of sea urchin in a tidepool as long as it’s not within a marine protected area that prohibits the recreational take of sea urchin. There’s a general bag limit of 35 sea urchin of each species, so for example you could take 35 red urchin and 35 purple urchin in a day. The most frequently harvested species are red and purple urchin, and there’s no minimum size limit for any sea urchin species.

Section 29.06 covers special regulations for harvesting sea urchin in Mendocino, Sonoma, Monterey and Humboldt counties where CDFW has increased the bag limit to aid in kelp recovery.

Ocean Enhancement Q: Do I need a saltwater fishing stamp to fish on the Pismo Beach shoreline or would a regular California fishing license work? (Long) A: A regular fishing license will work.

An Ocean Enhancement Validation is required only when fishing in ocean waters south of Point Arguello in Santa Barbara County, per California Fish and Game Code section 6596.1(a). This validation is not required when fishing with a valid one- or two-day fishing license. F If you have a question you would like to see answered in the California Outdoors Q and A column, email it to CalOutdoors@wildlife.ca.gov.

Spring Maintenance Checklist for Homeowners (StatePoint) As the weather warms, there are a few maintenance tasks every homeowner should consider completing. Use this checklist as your guide:

Outdoor Upkeep • Wash window exteriors for a better view.

• Clean gutters and downspouts to ensure proper water flow. Neglecting this task for too long can cause rot, mold and damage to your foundation.

• Get your patio or deck in tip-top shape for outdoor living. Sweep and hose it down. Remove patio furnishings from storage. Wipe down surfaces and vacuum cushions (or launder them if they’re machine washable).

• Inspect lawn equipment and tools for needed maintenance, repair and fuel refills.

HVAC Maintenance • Change HVAC filters at least once each season (ideally monthly). Dirty filters make equipment work harder and cause more wear and tear on equipment.

They also increase your energy bill and lessen indoor air quality.

• According to Energy Star, 20-30 percent of the air that moves through the duct system of a typical home is lost due to leaks, holes and poorly connected ducts. Consider professional duct sealing for improved energy efficiency and lower bills.

• Check to see whether your furnaces

and air conditioners bear the ENERGY STAR logo. If not, consider a new unit.

A properly-sized and installed ENERGY STAR air conditioner uses up to 20 percent less electricity than older models, and doing so may make you eligible for a Federal Tax Credit.

• Have a technician give your home’s cooling system a pre-season tune-up so that everything is running efficiently by the time warmer weather arrives. You know the “personality” of your heating or cooling unit best, so be prepared to provide the technician with important CONTINUED ON PAGE 13 →

Safety • Carbon monoxide, often referred to as the “silent killer,” is odorless, colorless and tasteless. Protect your family by changing the batteries on your carbon monoxide detectors and ensuring you have a detector on each level of your home. When changing a furnace filter, make sure the new filter is correctly positioned and the access panel is securely fastened. Have your home’s furnace inspected and serviced annually by a NATE-certified technician.

• Likewise, test all the smoke alarms in your home and replace batteries as needed. The National Fire Protection Association recommends smoke alarms on every level of the home, including every sleeping room and outside each separate sleeping area.

A little seasonal maintenance can go a long way to a safer, more beautiful and more eco-friendly home. ✦

Maximize the Harvest with Proper Care

by Melinda Myers

Keeping all your garden tools organized and conveniently stored will save time and energy throughout the growing season, so you can focus your efforts on helping plants thrive. Photo courtesy of Gardener’s Supply Company

grow an abundant harvest with some timely garden care.

Arm yourself with a few basic tools, a bit of time and regular visits to the garden throughout the growing season to keep plants healthy and more productive.

You don’t need to invest in every garden tool on the market.

A shovel, trowel, weeding tool, gloves and kneeling pad are the basics. If your budget is tight, ask gardening friends and family if they have extras to spare or lend.

Now you are ready to get started. Weed control is an ongoing task. Working in a few minutes of weeding time as your schedule allows makes this a much less overwhelming task. Keep a bucket with your favorite weeding tool, gloves, and kneeling pad by the door.

Anytime you have a few minutes between other activities pull a few weeds.

If tools are handy, you spend

less time looking for them and more time accomplishing the task.

Consider keeping all your tools conveniently stored and ready for the garden in a mobile tool storage caddy (gardeners.com). It has room for short and long handled tools, a bucket for gathering weeds plus wheels and a handle for easy maneuvering.

Spread a layer of shredded leaves, evergreen needles or other organic matter over the soil surface surrounding your vegetable plants. This layer of organic matter helps conserve moisture so you will need to water less often. It also helps suppress weeds and improves the soil as it decomposes.

As your seeds sprout and begin to grow, you will need to do a bit of thinning. Remove extra plants, leaving enough space for those remaining seedlings to reach full size. The seed packet recommends CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE →

It is a good time to remind everyone of some simple fire prevision tips; reduce your fire fuel zone by cutting back the vegetation and reducing the ladder fuels under your trees.

Remove the buildup of needles and leaves from your roof and gutters.

Remember fire safety starts with you.

the proper spacing for the vegetables you planted. Good news, some seedlings like radishes, beets and spinach are edible so think of this as harvesting instead.

Once you make your first harvest, leaving space in the garden, fill it with another planting. Succession, also called relay planting, allows you to grow several different vegetables in the same space.

Just make sure the second planting has time to reach maturity and produce before the end of the season. Seed packets and plant tags contain information on the number of days from planting to harvest. Compare this to the number of days until the average first fall frost.

Keep plants healthy with proper watering and fertilization. Water new plantings often enough to keep the top few inches of soil slightly moist. Wait until the top few inches of soil are crumbly and moist to deeply water established plants. Deep watering, moistening the top six inches of soil, encourages plants to develop a more drought resistant root system. Frequent shallow watering keeps roots near the soil surface where they dry out quickly. Insufficient water means fewer and smaller vegetables.

Follow soil test recommendations for fertilizing your plants. If these are not available, consider using a fertilizer recommended for vegetable gardens. Apply it according to the label directions.

Providing plants with space to grow and keeping them healthy means fewer insect and disease problems. That means a bigger harvest for you and your family to enjoy all season long.

we hadn’t seen our pal, Steve the cowboy, at the philosophy counter at the Mule Barn truck stop for a while. After a week’s absence, he showed back up for his daily ration of caffeine, and it was obvious he’d lost some weight, if not attitude.

“Hospital again,” he said. We nodded.

Steve has internal workings situations from time to time. Usually, these happen during a cold snap when the bunkhouse needs extra firewood. He swears this is just a coincidence.

He appreciates doctors a lot, it turns out. Especially young, cute, female-ladytype doctors. He has two of them that look after him. To quote Steve: “Cuter’n a pocketful of baby mouses!”

But nurses? That’s another thing entirely.

“They run this nurse in on me,” he said, “to give me one of them baths, you know?”

Doc grinned. “Cute, was she, Steve?”

“Cute? Doc, her face looked like it had worn out two bodies. She had the exact aerodynamics of a milk carton, and the human kindness of a meter maid. I didn’t stand a chance!”

“Food any better this year?” asked Herb.

We had heard all about 12,000 milean-hour toast last year and how they had used it as heat shields on the space shuttle.

our special Sunday dinner. They called it ribeye steak.”

We waited while he sucked down another cup of coffee and asked Loretta to bring him something that wasn’t good for his situation.

“Ribeye sounds good, Steve.”

“Ribeye? RIBEYE? Say listen, guys, I don’t know what gopher they cut that off of, but it was sure as sin a long-distance gopher. That was so small and tough …

I’ll bet that steak had more miles on it than my pickup.” ✦ Brought to you by Packing the Backyard Horse by Slim Randles.
