“Salvage Sisters” at the Courtyard on 6th Antiques, Repurposed And Vintage! Oh My! By Gini Bramlett
Vintage blankets and quilts, old
dolls, retro curtains and aprons, and tons of repurposed furniture and other home decor is what you’ll find when you visit the “Salvage Sisters” in the Courtyard on 6th in Junction City. Owned and operated by sisterin-laws, Kathy Rowland and Laura Spoerl, both longtime residents of the small town, the two women started the popular business after retiring from their respective jobs.
“We are having so much fun taking someone old, outdated or a bit beat up and making it look new and different,” said Rowland. “Sometimes we even give it a completely new purpose.” One of the pieces is an old worn hope chest repurposed into a pretty
pink toy box with its lid upholstered with an antique quilt. They’ve also repurposed an old hutch that had seen its day into a new kitchen island. Much of the furniture has chalkpainted features to boot. Everything in their shop has reasonable prices, too. Both have had a lifetime love of all things antiques, vintage, and repurposed.
6
All ready for the Halloween season, the ladies have decorated the shop with a diverse assortment of fun, spooky, seasonal items and are planning something special for their Christmas décor. The business has grown so much
since they first began just over a year ago, that the busy team has moved from a smaller corner upstairs to a much larger space downstairs in the front window, and are continuing to need more space all the time. Come on by and visit the Courtyard on 6th Street in Junction City where there’s always something new. The courtyard is located right across from Pacific Continental Bank. Hours are 10am6pm Monday-Friday. Want to talk? 541-953-1194

Holiday Cheer At Prairie Mountain Wineries By Vera Westbrook Photos courtesy of Prairie Mtn Wineries
A collaboration of wineries, Prairie Mountain Wineries invites wine enthusiasts to events and self-guided tours at its six neighboring wine establishments: Bennett, Pfeiffer, Brigadoon, Benton-Lane, High Pass and Walnut Ridge—all near Junction City and Monroe in the Willamette Valley.
Bennett Vineyards, 541-998-3336
Pfeiffer Winery, 541-998-2828
“The six of us are unique and distinctive in that we are all family owned and operated, we all serve estate grown wines, we all have country tasting rooms, and we are all small wineries, where chances are you’ll meet the winemaker and the owner,” says Danuta Pfeiffer of Pfeiffer Vineyards. “People can easily tour all six wineries in an afternoon, spending more time at the wineries than in their cars.” The public is invited to several upcoming holiday season events. “Thanksgiving weekend is big, with music, food and Thanksgiving specials at our wineries. In December,
we’re planning Christmas Lights in the Country at all six wineries, where people can drive by, drive in, have some wine and sit by the fireplace. “We’ll all be open on Boxing Day, the day after Christmas, with other events going on during the holidays as well. Something will always be going on at the Prairie Mountain Wineries, so check with individual wineries for open hours.” For more information and events, visit the Prairie Mountain Wineries website at www. PrairieMountainWineries.com, or call the individual vintners, or visit the winery websites.

Thank You!
“First, I want to thank all of my customers for their continual support for the past 11 years. You have brought to me all sizes of diesel and gas vehicles and I have enjoyed working on them. Next, I want to make a recommendation that will save my customers money, over the life of their vehicle. Certain manufacturers are now offering lifetime warranties, as long as you keep the vehicle, on many components. This is an offering that is worth consideration.

Tree Removal • Safety Assessments • Stump Grinding Roof Clearance • Emergency Tree Services • Storm Damage Hazardous Tree Removal • Cleanup • Trimming for Fire and Security • Annual Tree Care Program
People should be aware of the damage that trees can cause following rain, wind, ice, and snow storms. Those living near trees should avoid parking vehicles under trees. To avoid disaster, inspect trees before bad weather hits, because after the storm, tree service companies are booked too far in advance. A tree inspection now can prevent costly damage later to structures and vehicles. With a tree risk assessment from A-1 Ron’s Tree & Stump Removal, your tree’s health is checked to see if a branch has the potential to break. When tree experts Brian Jones and Devin DeMarce come out and work on a tree, they fully inspect that tree for future damage—a benefit other tree companies don’t provide. Brian says, “Unseen damage can also occur from squirrel chew, when a squirrel gets on top of a branch and eats all the bark so folks can’t see the damage from below. This weakens the branch over time. We also can tell if a tree will fall on a house, if a tree gets limb heavy on one side, or if it has the potential to fall over when soil gets wet. Call us to schedule a tree inspection today.” A-1 honors Military, Senior and Teacher Discounts through April

Office Equipment with a Difference
“As we all know, developing a team takes time, nurturing and a constant caring,” owner Dan Healey said. “We are proud of the talented and tenured staff we have put together. We are a family business doing business with a handshake and making sure your business runs smoothly with the very best products, and people to keep them working the way they should.” My father started in this business in 1963 as a salesman. Within 5 years he became the company’s GM for 29 stores. Then in 1972 he purchased the Eugene & Medford locations and started out on his own. He kept the same employees that he knew were the reason for his success and simply changed the name. National Photocopy was born. My father’s motto was “to do what is rightfor the customer, cost wasn’t the issue, integrity was”. I am proud to say that I had him as my mentor, and he instilled these qualities in me. I have carried these from the day I started as a delivery driver in 1978 through today as the President. I recognize that having quality people around you is what makes the difference between people that say they will give you good service, and those that do it. Same day service, and most importantly we fix it right the first time! We understand that everyone has different needs. We offer the most highly recognized brands in the business. Your needs may dictate something state of the art, or not-so-much. New, or refurbished, we treat everyone the same. In fact, our biggest pleasure is the constant repeat customers. That tells us we are doing our job right! Come experience what the National Photocopy difference is really all about. Is your current Canon dealer telling you they can’t service you anymore? Feeling forced to have to trade in the machine you love? Give us a call, we can help! We will offer you a service agreement on the unit you have. You have choices!

What? Emergencies don’t come with invitations, dress codes and suggestions for what to bring? Of course they don’t. We never know when we might face an emergency: a winter storm, a traffic accident, a hazardous spill. We could be at home, on the highway, at work. The disruption of power that an earthquake or tsunami would cause has community emergency managers everywhere urging us to be personally prepared with food, water, radio, flashlights and batteries, first aid kits, medicine, a heat and cooking source, extra clothing and blankets, to keep ourselves safe, warm and fed for at least a few days in the event our usual access to power fails. Safe, bright, high quality emergency lighting is a specialty of ours at Norwest Safety. We offer Streamlight, Pelican, Bayco, UK, and Rayovac products … from penlights to tactical lights, from headlamps to glow-in-the-dark emergency lighting stations, from lanterns to portable remote area lighting for emergency scenes. Being prepared really does make a difference.

Lady Ducks Are Getting Ready To Rock Photos by Erick Evans/Oregon Athletics
The Ducks hope to improve on last year’s 13-17 record and tenth place finish in the Pac-12. The 2015-2016 season is Coach Kelly’s second year and first recruiting class. The women’s basketball season opens at home against Warner Pacific on Wednesday, November 11. For more information, go to www.goducks.com. Player To Watch This Season
Maite Cazorla has accomplished a lot in her basketball career before coming
to Oregon. Just this summer she helped Spain finish third in the FIBA U19 World Championships and won gold in the FIBA U18 European Championships. In past years she also played on Spain’s U14, U16 and U17 national teams. She was the number 7 international college prospect and graduated from Siglo XXI, a sport academy in Barcelona that accepts only elite basketball players. And the most remarkable part about Cazorla? She’s only 18 years old. “In my opinion, Maite is the best point guard in her class in all of Europe and one of the best in the world,” said Head Coach Kelly Graves. “She has an outrageous basketball IQ and uncanny vision on the floor. She can step out and shoot the three as well. She’s a tremendous leader.” Cazorla’s talent was showcased at the seven game FIBA World Championship tournament. She averaged 11 points per game, shot 44 percent from the field, 85 percent at the line and three assists per game. The 5-foot-10 point guard is expected to see some playing time as a freshman, both because of her resume and an injury at point guard. Junior college transfer and All-American Megan Trinder underwent ACL reconstruction surgery in September and will likely miss the whole season. www.OregonCommunityConnection.com 33

Beware Of Computer Scams!
Ring, ring, ring . . . “Hello? This is your Microsoft technician and we see you have a virus on your computer.” Whoa, STOP right there! Has this happened to you? If so, hang up and let’s talk! First of all, this is not a Microsoft technician. Second, they are not looking at your computer. Third, they will ask for your credit card number to pay for the work they are going to do. This is a scam by bad people. One of our customers gave them her credit card number and her checking account was cleaned out the next day. I have tried to tell the scammers who call that I build and repair computers, but they keep talking, so I found it best to hang up and let them call someone else, sorry to say. If you are concerned about your computer, please bring it to us. Most of the time, nothing is wrong, but we’ll clean it up and make sure it’s running well for an office fee of $75. If we find a virus, it’s $100. We haven’t changed our prices in years, because we feel we must meet the needs of the people without emptying their pocket books. Give us a call today.

OSU Sports By Kirsten Albright When most people take a break from college, they usually get a job or travel. Oregon State soccer player McKenzie Redberg took a different route – she went on a four year tour of duty with the Air Force as a medic. Redberg, a Corvallis native, played
soccer for Corvallis High School from 2005
to 2008 and helped her team win three straight conference championships. She was a four-time Mid-Willamette Conference all-star, second-team 5A all-state as a junior, first-team all-state as a senior and also played for the FC Willamette Pride club team and for the Oregon Olympic Development Program 90s team. In her free time at CHS she also ran track and played basketball. A hamstring injury in 2009 put her soccer career on hold. She briefly enrolled at Western Oregon in 2010 before deciding to join the Air Force. She completed her medical training at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. Once her training was complete she spent her four year tour of duty at Eglin AFB in Destin, Florida, and WrightPatterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio.
Though she never went overseas Redberg still managed to stay busy. She mainly worked in off-base hospitals treating veterans from Vietnam and Korea and their dependents. She was promoted to instructor toward the end of her four years and oversaw hundreds of students. Of course, Redberg didn’t give up on soccer while she was enlisted. She played for three years on the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Hawks, a men’s club team. Redberg took college classes while in the Air Force and was able to earn enough credits to be considered a junior when she enrolled at Oregon State. She hopes to use her Air Force medic training to become a physical therapist when she graduates. (Photo courtesy OSU Atheletics)

Oregon Community Connection Magazine Fall/Winter 2015/16 Edition
Information for the Covered Bridge Map Street Directions code: N, S, W, E = Polar directions; L = left; R = Right; mi = mile; st = street; crk = creek; etc. To make the most out of your covered bridge trek, notice the groupings and plan your day accordingly. Be sure to look for the truss type that supports the bridge you are visiting. There are a few reasons why the Howe truss was most commonly used; primarily it was its simple design strength over long distances coupled with its vertical steel tie-rods that allowed maintenance crews to adjust as needed.

Each bridge has their own unique history. To get the most out of a covered bridge outing it is suggested by our staff that visitors stop in at the local library, museum and/or chamber of commerce. And, while you are in the town, be sure to check out the downtown business district for food and shopping. www.OregonCommunityConnection.com

Oakridge’s Theater Promotes Year-Round Performing Arts By Vera Westbrook Photos courtesy of Zero Theater
No matter the season, the Zero Clearance Theater Company of Oakridge continues to entertain Lane County theater buffs with three productions in January, May and October, and an outdoor Old-Time Radio show in summer. The group began in Oakridge in 1994 and meets today at the old Westridge Middle School building in Westfir under the direction of Bob Wilson since 1998. Its core cast of 10 is made up of all ages, genders, religions, races and often casts local youths. Performing classics to originals, the theater seats about 100 people and is funded by ticket sales and donations. The local Friends of Theatre & Arts nonprofit helps with advertising and ticket sales. “We’ve performed plays by Neil Simon, we did the romantic comedy ‘You Can’t Take it With You,’ and we’ve done Agatha Christie’s ‘The Mouse Trap.’ We’ve done some big names, but we often do smaller productions because we ‘re a small community,” Wilson says. In October the group performed the comedy “Faith County,” and in July, the group’s Old-Time Radio Show performed “Our Miss Brooks,” the “Lone Ranger” and “Father Knows Best.” For the last 13 years in May, Zero holds its annual dinner theater with a caterer. For more information, visit the theater on Facebook or call Bob Wilson at 541-782-5701 to be put on the mailing list.

The entrance is humble, but once you are inside the shows are grand. ZCT (Zero Clearance Theater Company) of Oakridge is embossed on the theater entrance overhang at the old Westridge Middle School building in Westfir, where a core cast of 10 performs three major productions yearly. The theater seats more than 100 guests and has been known to overflow with visitors at times. The cast of Zero Clearance Theater of Oakridge performs at their annual Old-Time Radio Show held at the Siuslaw Amphitheater in Greenwaters Park in Oakridge. July 2015 was the show’s ninth year with the cast performing a different show each summer. Two high school students and a grade school student were part of the 2015 cast.

Westfir Bridge Lighting (Office Bridge)
Westfir And Oakridge Join In Bridge Lighting Festivities
On Saturday, Dec. 5, from 6-8pm, the Annual Westfir Bridge Lighting Festival will take place at the Office Covered Bridge—the longest in the state and the only one with a separate covered pedestrian walkway. Sponsored by the city
of Westfir, the bridge is decorated ahead of time with lights, “then at 6pm Santa Claus arrives on a fire truck and hands out candy canes to the kids. The kids also take free pictures with Santa, and then he gives the order to turn on the lights,” says festival organizer Viki Burns. “Then we have free cookies, coffee and hot chocolate and stand by a big bonfire and visit. This year we’ll have real reindeer, fire dancers, a snow machine, a

Clean and Healthy Pork
It’s a comfort to know that Wuergler Family Farms in Drain emphasizes the humane treatment of animals on their customraised pork farm. The Wuergler’s strive to do what’s right while respecting the land and treating animals humanely to sustain local communities. “Our pigs are bred healthy in a clean environment, coming from good breeding stock with solid genetics,” say owners Steve and Bonnie Wuergler. “We use a quality feed program with whole grains and no growth hormones. “Because of our low-stress livestock handling coupled with daily interactions with family members, our champion quality show pigs have fine dispositions combining friendliness and curiosity. During farrowing (birthing) time it is not uncommon to pull all-nighters; pigs don’t groom their young when born, so we try to be in the barn with every birth to insure the babies are clean and dry and at least know how to find a teat in order to get their first colostrum.” “Steve is on the board of Oregon Pork Producers and has served on the National Pork Board, staying on top of industry issues. Our animal care providers and our farm are Pork Quality Assurance Plus certified.” For Quality meat at a reasonable price, Call Today.
Wuergler Family Farms 541-836-2601 Drain, Oregon
The Wuergler Family Farm is currently breeding Yorkshire, Hampshire, Berkshire, Duroc and Crossbred pigs for the spring 4-H/FFA project season as well as filling our customers’ orders for quality pork. “As we continue to grow we hope to have pigs of all age groups available throughout the year. We recommend you place your orders early so we can pick the best to ‘meat’ your What is aanimals Trust? needs. We thank all our current and new customers for your continued business.” •Steve & Bonnie• “I’m working on my estate plan, should I have a Will

Open enrollment is coming. Let me help you choose the best Medicare plan. Open Enrollment is coming up. Let me help you choose the Medicare plan that best fits your needs. It is time for you to start looking into Medicare plans that will be available in 2016. Not making an informed decision could cost you a lot of money and – maybe – your ability to obtain a Medicare supplement in the future. There are a few things that you must look at to make sure you have the right coverage you will need next year. The first decision you will need to make is how is my current coverage changing? Are my copays, premiums, out-of-pocket maximums going up or down? Are my doctors still going to accept the plan I am on, or will I have to look for another doctor? Is my plan not going to cover certain things next year that it covered this year? The second and sometimes most important decision is how are
my prescription drugs going to be covered? When will I hit the doughnut hole, and how can I get help paying for all my expensive medications? Do I qualify for assistance to help pay for these costs? These are all questions that every client of ours has each year and you probably do too. It’s okay, we are here to help. We are a local insurance company that specializes in helping people understand how the changes in Medicare affects them. We are here to help you find the best plan to fit your needs and your budget. Call us and discover what so many other people in your area have found out about their coverage. You can be certain there won’t be any pressure placed on you to purchase a plan, we just want you to know what is available. It could save you a lot of money.

Quick History, Past From its headwaters at Diamond Lake
in the Cascade Mountain Range, 100 miles east of Roseburg, the Umpqua River snakes its way 111 miles past Roseburg to where it empties into the Pacific Ocean at Winchester Bay. Simply put, the Scenic Umpqua River Valley stretches from Roseburg where the North Umpqua and South Umpqua meet (six miles northwest of Roseburg), to its mouth at Winchester Bay. The river and its valleys are famous for many things, including world class fishing, scenic trails, logging and, more recently, wine. In the early 1800’s the Umpqua River valley was inhabited mostly by the Coquilles, a tribe of Native Americans. The tribe gave most of its land to the United States in the 1854 Treaty with the Umpqua
70
and Kalapuya, agreeing to move to a reservation in Lincoln County and become part of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz. The river itself is named for the Umpqua, one of the Coquille bands. Two translations of the Native American word “umpqua” are “thundering waters” and “across the waters”. Since the early pioneer days, the river and surrounding areas helped produce and move the greatest wealth in Southern Oregon-timber and gold. Sailing vessels and steam schooners would arrive at Winchester Bay and their hard-to-get merchandise would be loaded onto river boats that would carry the goods to Scottsburg, where the deep tidewater ends and the rapids begin. There, the goods would be re-loaded onto mule trains and head for the interior valley and Roseburg.
On the turn-around trip the mule trains would be loaded with timber and gold from the valley and sent back to be re-loaded at Scottsburg for the final leg to Winchester Bay. This all worked fine until devestating floods of the 1860s wiped out most of Scottsburg, sinking it into obscurity. Also, at the same time, advancements of the north/south railroad lines in the valley, made shipping more predictable. Today, the Umpqua River is famous for some of the world’s best fly-fishing, salmon fishing, and sturgeon fishing. It is also known for its small-mouth bass, striped bass, and shad population. The river and its heavy summer steelhead run was made famous when writer and sports angler Major Lawrence Mott, also known as the “millionaire reporter”, set up a fishing camp in the area in 1929.

To Present by Kirsten Albright In 1931, the Umpqua received even more attention when one of the most famous western novelists of the time, Zane Grey, set up camp and began fishing the river.
The Umpqua River Valley’s most recent claim to fame is its wine industry. The first vineyard was planted by pioneer and pathfinder Jesse Applegate, in Yoncalla, in 1876. Today the Umpqua River Valley is home to 23 wineries, 22 of which are family owned and operated. Hotter and drier than the Willamette Valley wine region and cooler than the Rogue and Applegate wine regions, the Umpqua Valley provides several microclimates that allows it to produce over 40 varieties of wine. ‘It is interesting to note that the Umpqua Valley region is found on the 43N & 44N latitudes which also run through some of Europe’s finest wine growing districts.’-Wines NW

Whale Watching Week
Whale Watching
Depoe Bay
Spoken Here
By Colette Kimball
Whale watching is a
year round activity on the Oregon coast. Each winter gray whales migrate south to warm-water lagoons in Mexico where expectant mothers give birth and raise their young calves. Then from March to June, the whales travel north again, back to their feeding grounds in Alaska. In all, it is a round trip of approximately 10,000 to 14,000 miles, much of it happening just off our coastline. (Gray whale in picture). “Whale watching takes a lot of patience,” says David Newton, Park Ranger with the Whale Watching Center in Depot Bay. Having a trained volunteer nearby can improve the chances of spotting one. Two weeks a year, once during winter migration and again in the spring, Oregon State Parks
and Recreation sets up 24 “Whale Watching Spoken Here” sites. This program places trained volunteers at good whale watching locations up and down the coast. Ranger Newton says the volunteers help visitors spot the whales and are also available to share information about whales and their migration patterns. He also notes that while whales can be spotted any time of the day, it is easier to see them if the ocean is calm, as the whales can get hidden behind www.OregonCommunityConnection.com
ocean swells and white caps can make spouts hard to see. At the Whale Watching Center in Depot Bay, on the west side of Highway 101, visitors will find informational displays and great views out to the ocean. The center also has a live camera and shows passing whales on a television screen which is good for those people having a hard time finding the whales on their own. December 27-31, 2015, is the next whale watching week. Volunteers will be at the Whale Watching Center in Depot Bay from 10am to 4pm each day, and the 24 Whale Watching Spoken Here sites located along the Oregon Coast from 10am to 1pm. Look for signs or visit www.whalespoken.org to find a specific location. Spring whale watching week happens from March 19-26, 2016.

Fish - Fun - Food By Vera Westbrook
The Port of Siuslaw in Florence sees up to 200 boat
launches daily on a busy summer weekend, with both recreational boats and commercial fishing boats coming through the port. Historical boat tours on the river may account for some of the launches, but fishing accounts for 99 percent of the boat launches from the Florence dock, says port manager Bob Forsythe. “We have about half a dozen commercial fishing boats that come and go through here, primarily catching tuna and crab,” Forsythe says. “They winter here for the most part. They’ll come here with some catch and

sell tuna off the docks to the tourists and local people, so that’s always fun to see. “Recreational boating picks up after the Fourth of July weekend and stays busy through fall, with salmon fishing beginning around July or August. As the rains come, the salmon move up the river to spawn, so this river is jam packed with people fishing for salmon through September and October, but it really depends on the weather.” By Thanksgiving, salmon wane and steelhead fishing begins. “Steelhead fishing is determined by how bad the weather is,” says Jay Cable, owner of Bridgeport Market on Harbor Street in Florence by the boat launch. “The worse the weather is, the better the steelhead fishing is. It will pick up in December and go on through the wintertime.” Cable’s market sells fishing licenses, bait, fishing gear, food and fine Oregon wines to the recreational crowd. The Port of Siuslaw was established in 1909 as a municipal corporation. It owns the marina and several buildings on the wharf including a 100-space RV park. It rents campground sites and storage spaces, and leases buildings to retail stores and restaurants. It also rents slips for long-term and short-term boat moorage, for recreational and commercial boats. The port is also part of Historic Old Town with a boardwalk connecting the restaurants and shops to the port. Year-round fishing at the port includes rockfish, sea run cutthroat trout, perch, largemouth bass and herring, as well as Dungeness crab, razor clams, soft shell clams and mussels. Albacore tuna and Pacific halibut are caught offshore from June through September. For more information about the marina, the wharf and camping, call the Port of Siuslaw at 541-9973040 or visit the website at www.portofsiuslaw.com. For information about local fishing in Florence, call Bridgeport Market at 541-997-5091.

What to do on Virginia Avenue? This is a street you don’t want to miss. If you need anything Mexican from candy to produce, or you have a yen for some award winning Tai food, or your hair styled, fuel for the car, groceries, a gift for someone special, burgers, steaks or pizza-and you want to stay away from the fast paced ‘touristy’ areas-Virgina Avenue is the place for you!

Coos History Museum Opens!
Story and Photos by Steve Greif, Board Member The Coos County Historical Society founded in 1891 moved to its new home at the Coos History Museum on the Coos Bay waterfront at 1210 N. Front St. last summer. The new museum was dedicated on Sept. 9, 2015, and is located at the site of one of the world’s busiest lumber exporting facilities from WWII to the late 1970s. More than 550 local families, businesses and organizations donated more than $7 million to the project. The museum’s lobby floor features a 10-by-13-foot scale map of Oregon’s south coast inlaid with wood, metal, glass and wire. In the main exhibit hall, three lanes of vibrant colors guide visitors, with blue for the Seashore Gallery, green for the Tidewater Gallery and brown for the Uplands Gallery. Guests will see displays like the 1900 Millicoma Family Boat that might be the oldest remaining handcrafted vessel in Coos County. A second level of exhibits highlights the agricultural history of the region. Patrons can find gifts at the Museum Store that features more than 400 items from regional artists, craftsmen and authors. Hours are 10am to 6pm daily except Mondays and holidays with admission discounts for families, AAA, AARP and active-duty service members. For more information, call the museum at 541-756-6320.

Like many things on the Oregon Coast during the winter, fishing and crabbing is Sunset Bay weather dependent, says Caution Cliffs Rob Gensorek, owner of Basin Tackle in Charleston. While storm-watching is more likely to come to mind as a winter-time activity on the coast, Rob notes that there are Shore huge chunks of time when the sun comes out and it is beautiful. What might you catch on those sunny coastal days in November, December and January? Crabbing can happen year round, but is best Cape Arago State during the fall. People can crab off the dock, in the bay, and out in the ocean. Clamming is also a good

winter activity. Rob says that Gaper clams, butter clams, and cockles are all available around Charleston. Seven Devils Rd fishing, there is rock fishing out in If you prefer the ocean, and the winter steelhead season starts in late November on many Oregon rivers. Interested in crabbing? The best time of day is usually during “slack water,” the time around high and low tides, according to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife website. It is during slack water that the crabs are walking around foraging for food. You’ll need to rent crab rings and have a shellfish license. Most tackle shops, like Basin Tackle, can set you up. They will also have local tide tables. If you want to try your hand at crabbing, clamming, or fishing be sure to check out the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife website (http:// www.dfw.state.or.us/) for the latest regulations.

The Fresnel lens was invented by Augustin-Jean Fresnel and installed in the 223’ French Cordouan lighthouse in 1853. This more efficient lens (than a plano-convex lens) takes light from a small source and refracts the light waves into a concentrated beam.

Oregon Lighthouses The development of lighthouses on the west coast in the 1800s was a must for commerce and U.S. westward expansion, especially when the infrastructure of highways and airports was non-existent. The rush to build lighthouses was as important as the push of railroads (east and west; and north and south). Still useful today, lighthouses reassure mariners that they are on the
right course. From their inception, lighthouses were expensive to operate and, being a keeper of the lighthouse could be a lonely and dangerous-think of living on Terrible Tilly (Tillamook Rock) with rough seas smashing over the top of the lighthouse. By the 1930s technology had improved to allow additional options for maritime safety.

Oregon’s Lightships: Various Columbia lightships, a ‘lighthouse’ on a ship, marked the entrance of the Columbia River from 1892-1979. The last one is docked in Astoria, tours are available. U.S. Facts: The tallest U.S. lighthouse is Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, N.C., 200’ tall. The only ‘keeper’ in the U.S. still ‘keeping a lighthouse’ (by order of U.S. Congress) is in the Boston Lighthouse. It is the oldest
station in the U.S. The U.S. state with the most lighthouses is Michigan, with 124. Earliest U.S. lighthouses built were in Maine, 1791 and in Virginia, 1792. World facts: The first recorded lighthouse was built by Egypt in 285 B.C., and was destroyed by earthquake in 1302. The oldest existing lighthouse in the world is the 180’ Tower of Hercules, near Corunna, Spain, built between 100-200 A.D.

Holiday Lights Shine at Shore Acres State Park (see page 89 for location) By Colette Kimball
Every winter the gardens at Shore
Acres State Park come to life under the glow of thousands of holiday lights.
This year, over 325,000 lights will be strung through the formal gardens and about 45,000 visitors will walk through the displays which include lighted sculptures, landscape lights, and 26 decorated Christmas trees. The annual event began twenty-nine years ago, when members of the newly formed “Friends of Shore Acres” discussed keeping the gardens lit at night. Curious if people would drive down the winding Cape Arago Highway in the dark, they tried it out over the Christmas holiday. The Friends hung 6,000 landscaping lights and nine thousand people showed up. The Holiday

sometimes collaborating with local artists if his idea requires it. “We’ve slowly added sculptures over the years until we’ve amassed a large array,” David said. Today there are dozens of lighted sculptures located throughout the formal gardens, from a life-sized grey whale, to lady bugs and butterflies, to an undersea garden designed to look like the bottom of the ocean. New this year is an animated sea gull at the entrance of the garden that appears
to be flying. The sculptures, David explained, “relate to who we are and where we are.” While David creates the sculptures, Shirley designs the displays. “We try to balance out all the colors,” Shirley said. When in bloom, the whole garden is balanced in color and that
design element continues with the holiday lights. “We use the same color of light that the bush blooms,” she explained. A red rhododendron gets red clusters of lights, and the hydrangeas get clusters of blue. During the Holiday Lights, the Garden House, built in the early 1900s, is decorated in an old time Christmas theme and is open for viewing. It is a highlight for many
Lights at Shore Acres became an instant community tradition. Shirley and David Bridgham were part of the original Friends of Shore Acres and today they co-chair the Holiday Lights. Every year David works on creating new sculptures, Shore Acres State Park is located at 89039 Cape Arago Highway, Coos Bay (13 miles southwest of the cities of Coos Bay/North Bend). The entire event is free however
visitors including kids who love seeing Santa in the bath tub upstairs. “It is one of the traditions” David said. “One year we tried to go without the Santa and that lasted about two days,” Shirley laughed. Some nights David and Shirley stand at the entrance as people walk in to the garden. “When people come around the corner,” Shirley said, “you hear a gasp. They can’t believe this display is here, in Coos Bay. Even some of
our locals can’t believe this is here.” The Holiday Lights at Shore Acres run every night from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve, 4:00 pm to 9:30 pm. Shirley said that Monday and Tuesdays are the least crowded nights, and while the weekends are busy, there is always plenty of parking. If you are especially interested in seeing the Garden House during a less crowded time, she suggests coming out when they are having a misty rain.
there is a $5 per vehicle parking fee for the State Park. Colette Kimball is a writer and blogger who spends her free time blogging at www.MySouthLane.com.
