Toxic Algae Found at San Jacinto Wildlife Area – Use Caution – Leave the Dog at Home

Tom Trakes of the San Jacinto Wildlife Area advised that water testing done at the Wildlife Area has shown elevated levels of toxic Algae in the ponds at SJWA and also on Mystic lake.  This algae can be dangerous and has the potential to harm people and kill animals.  Tom advised me that the algae tested within dangerous levels at the southeastern end of Mystic lake, near Bridge Street, and within Caution levels on the rest of Mystic Lake and just about all the ponds on SJWA. 

The most important message here, for now, is that hunters with dogs will probably want to leave their furry hunting partners at home if you’re hunting in the next few weeks.  Hunting will still be allowed on the majority of the Wildlife Area, but caution needs to be exercised.  Due to the elevated levels in the southeast end of Mystic Lake the three blinds nearest Bridge Street will be closed but the rest of the blinds at San Jacinto will still be opened.  Obviously you don’t want to drink any of the water from the ponds (like anybody would want to do that anyway).  Please refer to the photos of the caution and danger signs posted here for details. 

Water testing will be ongoing, and Tom expects that the problem will clear in a few weeks as the weather cools down a bit.  Tom will keep hunters advised at the morning briefing on each hunt day.  I’ll post updates here as Tom advises me.

Bottom line here is, keep your dog at home for the next couple of weeks.  Hopefully this will clear fast and we can get back to business as usual as far as hunting goes at SJWA.

So…2020 hits again.  I’m just waiting for the man-eating Piranha/Mallard hybrids to migrate down here to make the year complete.

Large Group of Volunteers Show Up for San Jacinto’s Volunteer Blind Clean Up / Work Day Saturday, October 3rd

About 40 volunteers were in attendance bright and early on Saturday, October 3^rd at the SJWA check station parking lot for this year’s final volunteer clean-up/blind brush-up work day. After a short appropriately socially distanced meeting in the lot Tom sent the volunteers to their assignments to clean-up, repair, and brush-up several of the hunting area’s blinds.  One of the main goals of this work day was to clean out the excess growth on the dike leading to the Mobility Impaired blinds.  Several blinds were also repaired and brushed up with palm fronds

Tom and his crew at SJWA, (along with myself), would like to give a huge thank you to everyone that showed up and worked so hard to get things in ship-shape for the fast approaching waterfowl season. 

After the work day, some of the volunteers retired to Marcello’s Pizza Restaurant for a well-deserved lunch.

The volunteers on these work days are essential.  Even more so this year than usual due to COVID restrictions and the SJ staff’s small crew this year.  I know that everyone the utilizes the San Jacinto Wildlife Area appreciates the effort and the volunteers deserve a big “think you”.

Tom told me that they will soon have the plan finalized for the changes in check-in procedures, sweatline, and refill for this season due to the COVID restrictions.  As soon as SoCalHunt has the info it will be posted here.  Watch for it soon.

SJWA’s Pastor Jessie Passes – Services Upcoming

Pastor Jessie Martinez, Son in law of Tom Trakes, passes away September 25 from renal failure, diabetes, and congestive heart failure.  Many of we hunters at San Jacinto know Pastor Jessie, especially if you attended the Junior Waterfowl Hunt the last few years.  Pastor Jessie gave the invocation for the Junior Hunt lunch.  He also gave a dedication prayer in 2017 dedicating the waterfowl season to Brian Frazier, an SJWA regular, who was killed in the horrible Las Vegas mass shooting just weeks before. 

Another activity Jessie was always involved in was playing Santa Claus for the SJWA Bryant Park Preschool toy give away each year.  He’s the guy that gave out all the toys the San Jacinto hunters donated to the annual toy drive.  Jessie also played Santa at many Valley-Wide Recreation and Parks events.  Jessie thrilled thousands of children over the years portraying Santa Claus at both the Bryant Park Preschool event and several Valley-Wide events.

Jessie has been married to Tom’s daughter for 20 years. In 2013 they fostered a little boy Ayden and little Girl Riley for almost 3 years before the children were sent back to their dad. In 2016 the children came back into the system and went back to the Martinez’s.  In 2018 they were finally able to adopt them. Ayden is 11 and Riley is 9 years old.

Jessie worked for Valley-Wide Recreation and Parks for about 3 years. He was a part of Calvary Chapel of San Jacinto where he served as a youth leader and youth pastor for about 6 years.  He was ordained by Calvary Chapel of San Jacinto (which is now 412 church) in 2003.  He also started the Calvary Chapel of Duluth Minnesota and was there for 5 years. On his return to California, he started a small church at the Cross Fellowship and was the pastor there until his medical problems overtook him.  

Memorial services for Jessie will be held on Thursday, October 8^th at 2 pm at 412 Church 1450 W 7th Street, San Jacinto.  All are welcome to attend.

Last-Minute Items Requested for SJWA’s Saturday, Oct. 3rd Brush Up Day.

Tom Trakes of the San Jacinto Wildlife has asked me to pass along the following for anyone planning on attending this Saturday’s, October 3^rd, volunteer work day.  Tom advised that they need to clean up some overgrown walkways out to some of the blinds and they also need to do some carpentry work on the Mobility Impaired blinds.  To is asking that anyone that has pruners to bring them along and if a couple people have chain saws, (and know how to safely use them) they would be a great help also.  If a couple of the volunteers have carpentry skills Tom also requested that you bring along some of your carpentry tools as the two Mobility Impaired blinds at SJ need some repair also.

As always, palm fronds are still needed so if you. Can bring along a few of those that would be great also. 

Details on the Volunteer Workday can be found here (just so I don’t have to re-type everything).

Here’s hoping we have at least as good a turnout as last time so we can get the work done early before it gets really hot.  Don’t forget plenty of water, sunscreen, and mosquito repellant.
