2A Daily News – Saturday, June 25, 2011 Community people&events Free Fishing Day July 2 The California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) invites anglers to celebrate Independence Day by fish- ing in California’s spectacular waters. Saturday, July 2 is the first of Californias two 2011 Free Fishing Days (the other will be Sept. 3), when people can try their hand at fishing without having to buy a sport fishing license. All fishing regulations, such as bag and size limits, gear restrictions, report card requirements, fishing hours and stream closures remain in effect. Every angler must have an appropriate report card if they are fishing for abalone, steelhead, sturgeon, spiny lobster or salmon in the Smith and Klamath-Trinity River systems. DFG offers two Free Fishing Days each year usual- ly in conjunction with the Fourth of July and Labor Day weekend when its legal to fish without a sport fishing license. This year, the Free Fishing Days were set for the Sat- urdays preceding Independence Day and Labor Day (July 2 and Sept. 3) because they fall on holiday week- ends, when its likely to be the most convenient for the public. Free Fishing Days provide a low-cost way to give fishing a try. Some DFG Regions offer a Fishing in the City — dfg.ca.gov/fishinginthecity/index.html — pro- gram where you can go fishing in major metropolitan areas. Fishing in the City and Free Fishing Day clinics are designed to educate novice anglers about fishing ethics, fish habits, effective methods for catching fish and fish- ing tackle. You can even learn how to clean and prepare your catch so you can enjoy it for dinner that night. Anglers should check the rules and regulations at www.dfg.ca.gov/regulations for the waters they plan to fish. Wardens will be on duty to enforce them.

Be home early A few dozen years ago my friends and I were teen-agers in an era where young people had a cer- tain time to be home after a teen date. Most of my girlfriends had specific times to be home. My Mother had great faith in me, she always said, "just be in early, you know what time." It sounds great in theory. My Dad would say "You know what early is." It sounded fan- tastic to my teen peers who all had 10, 11, and 12 o’clock deadlines. This laid back attitude on the part of my parents caused me great pain. The burden of decision was on me to decide what was "early." Can you imagine what a pressure that was? My Dad’s perception of early varied with each occasion. Of course I was never aware of this variation since he didn’t state an actual time to come home; he just repeated "you know what early is." It sounded fantastic in contrast to my teen peers since they all had 10, 11, and 12 midnight deadlines. The seemingly laid back attitude on the part of my parents caused me great pain. The burden of decision making was on me to decide what was "early." Can you imagine this pressure? Dad’s perception of "early," varied with every occasion. Of coarse I was never aware of this variation since he didn’t state a spe- cific time to be home, he just repeated, "you know what early is." As might be expected, Dad’s pri- vate idea of early and my lack of definite guidelines frequently clashed. My adolescent reluctance to buck my peer group led to some precarious decisions. I remember and probably so do some of my age mates the time when my Dad showed up at the "Chicken Shack Drive In.," to escort me home. That night I made a wrong guess at what time constituted early. Another time Dad showed up at "Jenny’s Auto Court", north of town, where my date and I were. We had an authentic "flat tire" and drove in to get it fixed. In those days there were no "cell phones" and I had no money to use the old fashioned phone. My date had to use all his money to pay for the tire repair. My Dad made a federal case of the event. His comment, through his clenched lips was, "you know what early is!" Needless to say I was mortified and sure that the young man I was with would never speak to me again. He tried to tell my father of the tire disaster, my dad ignored the explanation and simply clenched his lips and mut- tered, "You know what early is!" Dad insisted that I climb in the fam- ily Pontiac so we could head home. Talk about embarrassment! I must declare that neither of the described events happened after midnight. In subsequent years I had teens of my own and yes, there were a few restless, sleepless nights waiting for them to return from out- ings. As parents we took a different approach, giving them the exact time at which to arrive home. Apparently they had a little difficul- ty with peer pressure too. I am still convinced that giving a set time with a little leeway room for calls home is the path to take. Beyond the given time with no notice, could call for some parental searches. A few years after our children were all out on their own, I found myself awake at 3:51 a.m waiting for my father to arrive home from a dance. Little did I realize that I would someday have this experi- Local cat litter Purr and Simple, a Corning organic cat litter compa- ny, will have a booth at Bark in the Park, the fundrais- er for Second Chance Pet Rescue taking place noon to 4 p.m. today.

When Dad left for a Senior Citizens dance that night at 6 p.m. dressed in his Western clothes it didn’t seem apparent that I would need to say to him "you know what early is!” Carolyn Barber Did this elderly teen- ager not realize that I would worry about him? Had he been in accident? Had he fallen into the clutches of or under the influence of some world wise woman? Some- how I couldn’t bring myself to say to him as he finally arrived home, "you know what early is" or "do you realize how late it is?" He was a little sorry but con- veyed that he didn’t think I should have been worried about him. He shared very little information about the delay getting home and I sulked a bit at my lost sleep and questioning mind. I had really wanted to yell at him and ask, "Where have you been?" I didn’t ask him, I just walked off muttering. At 4:01 a.m. I tried to find this amusing but I could only feel indig- nation setting in. I stammered a bit and headed to my bed for some sleep, "I know he knows what early means!" My final thoughts as I tum- bled into bed were I am just too old to go through this sitting up, wait- ing for a wayward senior citizen father to come home early. Then I had a soothing thought, our son had come home early. The lesson hard earned? Learn to know that getting home early may give one the opportunity to rest up for the next day.
