The California Department of Fish and Wildlife will hold four public meetings to provide information and gather public input about possible changes to public use regulations for CDFW lands.
The properties affected are in Butte, Fresno, Inyo, Kern, Merced, Napa, Nevada, Riverside, San Diego, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Solano, Stanislaus, Tulare and Yolo counties.
The focus of the regulation changes is the potential designation of nine relatively new properties as wildlife areas and ecological reserves.
In addition, six properties will be considered for removal from the current lists of wildlife areas and ecological reserves, due to changes in management authority. Site-specific regulation changes are also under consideration for some existing wildlife areas and ecological reserves.
The meetings will be drop-in “open house” style with information stations and staff available to discuss the changes under consideration.
They will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on the following dates.
Tuesday, June 18

South Coast Region Headquarters
3883 Ruffin Road
San Diego, CA 92123

MADERA, Calif. – The second of three North State Modified Series/Madera Hobby Stock Challenge races was held at Madera Speedway Saturday night, and it was Steve Schermerhorn of Oakhurst who drove to victory in the Gone Fishin’ Marine 50 lap feature event to pocket $750 for his efforts.
With points leader Howard Holden dropping out early in the race, Schermerhorn took over the NSMS / Madera Hobby Stock Challenge points lead by four points over Holden. Richard Herzog, who set fast time and finished second in the feature, sits in third place, only three points behind Herzog.
The feature began with pole-setter Chuck Aguirre dropping to the rear allowing Dylan Blanton to power into the lead. But his lead was short-lived as Holden drove by to assume the number one spot on lap four. Then four rounds later Holden’s car lost power and stalled on the track to bring out the only yellow flag in the event.
When racing resumed Schermerhorn took control followed by Mark Blanton and Mike Nicks. Herzog worked his way through traffic, passed Nicks on lap 14 and drove under Blanton two rounds later. Meanwhile Schermerhorn was pulling away and had a half-lap lead on Herzog.
Aguirre retired to the pits on lap 22 as Herzog was reeling in on the leader. But Herzog did not have enough laps to catch up and settled for second behind Schermerhorn. Mark Blanton finished third followed by Nicks and Dylan Blanton.
The Buckhorn Bar & Grill Dash for Cash was won by Holden.
The next NSMS / Madera Hobby Stock Challenge event will be back at Madera Speedway on Aug. 3.
