DFG receives grant to support SHARE program The Department of Fish and Game (DFG) secured a $500,000 federal grant to support the cre- ation of additional public hunting and fishing opportunities. The grant, through California’s Shared Habitat Alliance for Recreational Enhancement (SHARE) Program, will allow public access for wildlife-dependent recreation on private lands. “This significant grant funding is the shot in the arm that the SHARE Program needs to finally expand beyond a mere pilot or regional program,” stated Mark Hennelly, Vice President of the California Outdoor Heritage Alliance (COHA). “Many new and exciting hunting opportunities will be made available to the public as a direct result of the department’s successful efforts to secure federal funds.” D NEWSAILY HOW TO REACH US RED BLUFF TEHAMACOUNTY THE VOICE OF TEHAMA COUNTY SINCE 1885 VOLUME 126, NUMBER 214 On the Web: www.redbluffdailynews.com MAIN OFFICE: Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Main Phone (530) 527-2151 Outside area 800-479-6397 545 Diamond Ave. Red Bluff, CA 96080 ______________________ Fax: (530) 527-5774 ______________________ Mail: Red Bluff Daily News P.O.

Hunters participating in SHARE will still remain a key funding source for the SHARE Program, along with hunting licenses, stamp and tag funds. “DFG should be praised and congratulated for their efforts in securing these funds, which will increase public hunting opportuni- SC KIDS SCOOP Drive thru window Gelato & More! with this ad http://www.facebook.com/scoopsofredbluff Ice cream PS 1 FREE 905 Walnut St., Red Bluff 528-1698 11am-9pm 7 days facebook.com/scoopsofredbluff ties on private lands in California,” stated John Carlson Jr., President of California Waterfowl. “In most instances, the properties enrolled in the SHARE Program have never been available for public use. Now, private land in California will be made available for current and future generations.” The SHARE Program was cre- ated by California Waterfowl- sponsored state legislation in 2003 to encourage private landowners to voluntarily open their properties to hunting, fishing and other wildlife- dependent recreation. The bill was authored by then Assembly Mem- ber Tom Harman. Due to limited funding, for the last several years, the SHARE Program has relied heavily on the assistance of non- profit conservation groups like California Waterfowl and COHA, and has focused mostly on water- fowl and upland game bird hunts in select areas of the state. However, DFG has recently been able to secure several wild pig and elk hunts. Programs similar to SHARE have opened up millions of acres of land to public access across at least 18 other states. These pro- grams have been well received by both hunters and landowners alike, and have fostered improved rela- tions between sportsmen and the agricultural and ranching commu- nities. “We are excited for this oppor- Nicole Richardson Salon Bella Dona Full Service Salon July Special 30% OFF Located next to any service. Bud’s Jolly Cone Call for appt. 527-4843 (exp.

In particular, the program should provide improved hunter access to wild pig and wild turkey populations, two species for which there are currently only lim- ited public hunting opportunities available.

Social Security office to close early Effective Aug. 15, the Redding Social Security office will be open to the public Monday through Fri- day from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. – a reduction of 30 minutes each week- day. While agency employees will continue to work their regular hours, this shorter public window will allow them to complete face- to-face service with the visiting public without incurring the cost of overtime. Congress provided Social Security with nearly $1 billion less than the president requested for the budget this fiscal year, which makes it impossible for the agency to pro- vide the amount of overtime needed to handle service to the public as it has in the past. Most Social Security services do not require a visit to an office. For example, anyone wishing to apply for benefits, sign up for direct deposit, replace a Medicare card, obtain a proof of income letter or inform of a change of address or telephone number may do so at www.socialsecurity.gov or by dial- ing toll-free 1-800-772-1213. People who are deaf or hard of hearing may call our TTY number, 1-800-325-0778.
