COQUILLE — On the outskirts of Coquille, at the very end of Rink Creek Lane, off a dirt and gravel road, you will find a place on a hillside known locally as The Mountain Homestead. It is also the birthplace of The Coquille Valley Seed Library, which is more about spirit than structure. The spirit of growing your own nongenetically modified food. Jennifer Golden and Chip Boggs live there and it was there, back in 2012, that Golden was motivated to cultivate a local chapter of the international seed library movement. The Coquille Valley Seed Library, one of five seed libraries in the state, is really many different things to many different people. Which may be why Boggs, when he strips away its layers, says it is, at its heart, all about community. The two have long preached the need for local food resiliency and they walk it like they talk it. The Mountain Homestead is surrounded by beautiful, wide-ranging gardens growing a variety of vegetables. They have found that vegetable gardens can bring people from all walks of life together for a common interest. “There were a couple of
gardeners in the area, elders of the gardening community, who had been sharing heirloom seeds here, and have a lot of skills in raising those seeds,” Golden said. “I wanted to basically get them a platform where they could teach people how to save seeds, and where they could share their seeds wider. So, their seeds wouldn’t be lost the way so many heirloom seeds have been lost.” For the novice, heirloom seeds can date back generations and produce plants with the same traits on a consistent basis, planting after planting, season after season. They are also becoming endangered. According to a 2011 National Geographic article, an estimated 90 percent of the historic fruit and vegetable varieties in the United States have vanished. Enter, the seed library movement. It is a movement without walls, so typically the Coquille Valley Seed Library will meet at the Owen Building, at 201 N. Adams St., in Coquille. “It’s a place where gardeners in the area, vegetable gardeners, share skills and seeds and plants and produce, and any old other thing that they want to share,” Golden says. “One of the most important parts of our meetings

Jennifer Golden, a resident of The Mountain Homestead, gleans seeds for the Coquille Valley Seed Library. is filling a 30-foot conference table with seeds that people bring, just to swap. Just to give away. Because seeds are very generous, they are one of the most generous things I’ve ever seen on the planet.” What she means by that generosity is that plants often produce more seeds than a single grower could realistically use. So, they share and they trade with other members. They are quick to point out that, while you must pay a $15 annual membership to order seeds from the library, you don’t have to be a member to come to the meetings and share their knowledge. Golden said that when they first met in February of 2013, they were hoping for five to 10 people. They got much more than they hoped. “That first meeting we had 45-50. Typically, we have between 40 and 60 at each meeting,” she said. Their current membership is estimated to be somewhere north of 60, but it is believed that total involvement numbers
about 100 people who come from places like North Bend, Port Orford and Remote. “It is a wide spectrum of people,” Boggs says. A wide spectrum brought together through a shared interest in gardening, even though some may not even have a garden of their own. “Local food resilience is really what it’s all about.” The group has also grown to achieve charitable 501(c)3 status, falling under the umbrella of Operation Coquille. To find out more about the Coquille Valley Seed Library, check out their Facebook page, the website at coquillevalleyseedlibrary.org or simply attend one of their meetings. The next one is set for Nov. 13 at the Owen Building. Don Delyria, head instructor of the Coquille Valley Traditional Skills Center, will host a free seminar, “Creative Uses for Garden Vegetation: Baskets, Rope, Textiles, and Dyes.” Meetings typically run from 6 to 8 p.m.

The November Armchair Adventure earlier than usual COOS BAY — The “Armchair Film Adventure” series at Coos Bay Public Library will be held a week early in November due to Veteran’s Day. The travelogue will be shown at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 4, in the Myrtlewood Room. This month’s adventure is “Mexico: The Royal Tour.” Peter Greenberg joins Mexican President Felipe Calderón, one of the world’s most dynamic heads of state, to showcase Mexico in a way no visitor has ever seen the country before — through the eyes of its leader. This personal, fast-paced, nonstop adventure journeys deep inside Mexico to extraordinary, iconic spots and includes experiences that aren’t found in any guidebook, but are still accessible to travelers. From Los Pinos, the Mexican White House, to the president’s hometown of Morelia, Greenberg and Calderón crisscross the country, including an upclose-and-personal explo-
ration of the legendary ruins of lost civilizations to discover the ancient mysteries these sites have hidden for generations. From soaring across the skies in a hot air balloon for a bird’seye view of Teotihuacan, to whale-watching in Baja Calif., to rappelling into a seemingly bottomless pit, the world’s foremost travel journalist uncovers the essence of this captivating and complex nation. Travel editor for CBS News, Peter Greenberg is a New York Times best-selling author and multiple Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist and producer. He appears on CBS This Morning and the CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley, and in many publications, including AARP The Magazine, Men’s Health, Parade and Oprah.com. The Friends of the Coos Bay Public Library sponsor the no admission film and refreshments. For more information, call 541-269-1101.
Breathtaking landscape paintings to be shown CHARLESTON — The South Slough Reserve Interpretive Center will host an opening for artists Jedan Adamson and Joan Goodman, on Saturday, Nov. 8. Adamson is a largely self-taught painter, currently specializing in plein air watercolor painting. Trained as a scientist who specialized in marine phytoplankton and statistics, she earned a Ph.D. in 1986. Her first visit to Oregon’s Bay Area was in 1993 to do research at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology. She and her husband call this area home. Goodman remembers always having a pencil or crayon in her hand as a
child, happy walks on the beach with her driftwood stick and drawing in the sand. She studied with Norman Lowell in Alaska from 1962-63. He helped her bring crispness to snow and light to mountains. Goodman developed her own business creating Alaskan scenes on ceramics and china dishes. She found the plein air painters when she moved back to Coos Bay after living 36 years in Alaska. Her work has been shown widely in the Coos Bay area and in Alaska. The reception is 1-3 p.m. at the center’s William Q. Wick Auditorium, 61907 Seven Devils Road, in Charleston.

The life and of water is stored in the air chemistry of wetland soils as general humidity that cleans the water; wetland we usually notice only soils — and the wetland’s when it’s very hot or hazy position in the cycle — collect and hold floodwaters, or mildewy. Of course, water falls then slowly disperses liquid or frozen, in bits of them, evening out flood various sizes and configu- pulses. Wetlands along the edges of open waters rations.

Wetlands produce drips off our trees and hats and recycle huge amounts, and roofs, and runs down and myriad species, of
plant and animal life, some of which is passed on to adjacent land and water habitats. While we might think of a water cycle that takes in whole continents, the cloud/ground/cloud loop can be quite short. Ground or pavement moistened by early morning fog may readily evaporate in the sun, the water producing frail, disintegrating wisps as it dissipates back to the air.
At the other end of the time scale, some water may be locked up in sections of the water cycle for millions of years in ice or deep underground. The water in soil can be picked up by plant roots and either chemically converted into more plant or is passed through leaves back into the air. Of course, animals pick up water, too, either by drinking it directly or by eating food
with water inside; they then pass water on through respiration, waste, or sweat. Like other animals, we’re also an intimate part of the water cycle, from the rain on our heads, to the water in our glass, to our food and materials, to the disposal of our wastes, to the nurture of the other life we appreciate.

R E P O R T Weekend fishing opportunities ■ Coho fishing continues to be very good in Coos Bay. ■ Garrison and Bradley lakes were recently stocked for fall trout fishing. ■ Rain this week should move Chinook throughout the lower sections of the Chetco and Elk rivers. Coos County lakes/ponds: trout Bradley Lake, Saunders Lake, Powers Pond, Middle Empire Lake, and Butterfield Lake were all stocked this month with fall “trophy” trout. Anglers are having the best success catching trout fishing PowerBait near the bottom. A few anglers are catching trout by casting small spinners or spoons. Coos River Basin: Salmon, bay clams, Dungeness crab Chinook salmon fishing has slowed down but a few anglers caught a few bright Chinook last week. Most of the anglers targeting Chinook are fishing in the Coos River, Millicoma River, and south fork Coos River. Coho fishing is still good in Coos Bay. Anglers are having the best success trolling cut plug herring or spinners from Empire Ramp to the railroad bridge on the north side of the bay. A few anglers are catching coho near SOMAR and the Chandler Bridge. The wild coho season is open in the Coos Basin until Nov. 30. The daily bag limit for wild (unclipped) coho is one per day and two for the season. Crabbing in Coos Bay has been good with boat crabbers picking up limits. The best crabbing has been near the jetties but crabbers are getting legal size crab all the way up to the BLM Boat Ramp. In a cooperative effort including ODFW and OSU researchers, hundreds of red rock crab have been tagged with a small blue “floy tag” in Charleston to gain an understanding of their growth, age, movement, population size, and fishery. Red rock crab are native to Oregon and are found in only a few Oregon estuaries. If you catch a tagged red rock crab please contact the ODFW Charleston office at 541-8885515. Clamming is excellent during low tides near Charleston, off Cape Arago Highway, and Clam Island. There are also good places to dig clams even on positive low tides in Coos Bay. For more information on shellfish in Coos Bay, check the Oregon Department of Agriculture website for any updates. Coquille River Basin: Salmon, crabbing Coho fishing has been good from Bandon to Rocky Point boat ramp for anglers trolling cut plug herring or spinners. The wild coho season is open in the Coquille Basin until Nov. 30. The daily bag limit for wild (unclipped) coho is one per day and two for the season. Crabbing from a boat has been very good in the lower Coquille estuary. Dock crabbers are also picking up a few legal-sized Dungeness crab at Weber’s Pier along the waterfront in Bandon. Diamond Lake: trout Fishing has been improving. The lake is cooling down and the fish are moving around more. Most of the fish are 12 to 14-inches, but larger fish are also being caught. The fish are very plump and healthy. Mealworms and PowerBait have been successful. Some of this year’s fingerlings are nearing 8-inches in length and anglers are also beginning to catch them. The algae blooms have been off and on. General cautions signs are still in place as a reminder to anglers should another bloom occur. The blooms have been
benign. They are denser in the afternoon after sun the has been shining or the wind has blown the algae toward the shoreline. Garrison Lake: rainbow trout, cutthroat Early morning or late afternoon is the most productive. Boat anglers will want to keep an eye on the weather and fish the lake when there is no wind. Access for bank anglers is best at the 12th Street boat ramp, Arizona Street, or along the foredune accessed through Tseriadun State Park. Garrison Lake is located in the middle of Port Orford. Boat anglers are reminded to clean all aquatic vegetation off their boats and trailers before heading home to help control the spread non-native plants and animals. L o o n L a k e : rainbow trout, bass, bluegill Loon Lake has been stocked with nearly 8,000 trout. The lake is also providing good fishing for crappie, bluegill and bass. The boat ramps will be open through early fall. Tenmile Basin: yellow perch, largemouth bass, coho salmon A blue green algae advisory has been issued for Tenmile Lakes. The lake remains open for fishing, but the Department of Human Services provides recommendations for how the public can protect themselves and their pets. Yellow perch are biting on nightcrawlers or jigs tipped with a worm in Tenmile Lakes. Yellow perch will be moving towards the deep water (20 feet) and concentrating in big schools. Sometimes anglers need to try several spots before finding the bigger fish. There are lots of smaller yellow perch that anglers have to sort through to catch enough keepers for a meal. Some of the keeper yellow perch are over 12-inches long. Largemouth bass fishing has been good. Most of the bass are being caught in deep water associated with cover like submerged logs or vegetation. Crankbaits and plastics like senkos or brushhogs have been working to catch bass. As the water temperatures cool the bass will move into shallower water will bite all day long. The wild coho season opened Oct. 1 in Tenmile Lakes. The lake level is very low and coho will most likely not enter the lake until we get significant rain. The bag limit for wild coho in Tenmile Lakes is one wild coho adult per day and a total of five wild adult coho for the season in aggregate with other NW and SW Zone waterbodies. Anglers are also allowed one wild coho jack per day. Winchester Bay: Chinook, fin-clipped coho The wild coho season in the Umpqua closed Oct. 2. Now only fin-clipped adult and jack coho can be retained as part of the daily salmon limit.
Success for bank anglers at Salmon Harbor, Half Moon Bay and Osprey Point is beginning to slow down. Both Chinook and fin-clipped coho are still being caught but not in great numbers. The hatchery coho being caught are however still very bright. Anglers in the boat basin are seeing good number of fish rolling but are working hard to entice bites. Boat angling has slowed, but if weather conditions change the bite may turn back on. Fishing for bottomfish in the Triangle and South jetty has been successful. Crabbing has been good recently.
HUNTING Duck and goose season in the goose Southwest Zone and duck Zone 1 opened Oct. 11. Canada goose numbers appear to be good in the local area so hunting for them should be good. Hunters will find these birds will be attracted to green grass. The flocks are generally habitual about where they go to feed during the day. So, scouting for these areas is beneficial for hunters. Duck numbers appear to be low locally, at this point. Once fall storms begin to move onshore duck numbers will improve, most likely. Hunters wanting to get started now will find the best hunting in bays SEE OUTDOORS | PAGE 8

because tidal activity provides feeding opportunities for ducks. As ducks migrate south with the on-coming winter hunting will improve in Coos County. Deer populations have been showing recovery in much of Coos County. General Rifle Deer season opened Oct. 4 and runs through Nov. 7. Generally the best hunting for deer locally is found on private land such as those owned by timber companies. Because those lands are private hunters cannot assume they are all open to public access. Hunters should contact private landowners before accessing their lands because most private land was closed for hunting through most of the bow season because of fire concerns. Depending on fire danger some lands may still be closed to hunting. The best places will be near ridge tops and on a south slope where brush is growing that has not been overtaken be trees. As the deer season progressed hunting on the coast generally improves because deer become more active. Hunting in the early season is beneficial, obviously because hunters may find a deer to harvest but it is also beneficial from the standpoint of having opportunities to locate bucks to be hunted later in the season when conditions improve. Grouse and quail seasons opened Sept. 1. This summer was a good one for grouse
and quail production. Broods seemed to have survived well. However, the past several years of poor survival for these young birds has resulted in populations that are low and that will need several good years of reproductive success to rebound. Hunters will find the best hunting for both quail and grouse on closed roads on public land. Grouse will generally be found near streams and quail will generally be found near ridge tops, with the exception of Valley quail, which are usually found near agricultural lands. General bear season opened Aug. 1. Bear populations are robust in much of Coos County and offer opportunities for hunting. Due to mild weather conditions this spring berry production is very good this summer. Bears will be taking advantage of that food source. Hunters should look for isolated berry stands where vehicle traffic from other people will not disturb bears from feeding on berries. Places like the ends on closed forest roads where berries are growing provide some of the best places to hunt bears that are feeding on them. Walking through these areas in the early morning or late evening or setting up tree stands near these areas are great ways to hunt bears on the Oregon coast. Cougar hunting is open. Hunters can expect an average year. Cougars are abun-
dant throughout with indicators pointing to stable or increasing numbers. Hunting cougar is a challenge because these animals are very secretive, but harvest success is greatest adjacent to private land with high deer populations using a predator call.
YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE Sea Birds Birds that are here for foraging include California brown pelicans, cormorants and Western grebes. Great places to watch these birds and their activities are Coos Bay, near Charleston and the Coquille Bay near the harbor in Bandon. Feeding birds can be seen diving on baitfish in the bay and sometimes working in unison to corral fish near shore. Occasionally other animals get in on the action when foraging birds have located baitfish. Seals, sea lions, porpoise, and even whales will go after these fish as birds are mounting attacks from above. Marine Mammals Seal and sea lion abundance in coastal waters around Coos County is high at this time of year, especially south of Coos Bay. At Simpson Reef, a heavily used haul out exists. From the lookout, viewers can see California sea lions, Steller sea lions, harbor seals and elephant seals. Do not approach seals and sea lions
you may find on Oregon beaches. If you think an animal you find is in trouble, contact your local ODFW office to report the animal or contact the Marine Mammal Stranding Network an (800) 452-7888. Shorebirds Shorebird migration is in full swing. A large variety of birds can be found in local bays and along beaches. Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge is probably the best place in Coos County to see these birds. The Bandon Marsh Unit is located immediately north of Bandon and is probably the best part of the refuge to visit for shore bird observation. Otherwise mud flats in Coos Bay, Winchester Bay (Douglas County) and the Coquille Bay are great places to check. Waterfowl Waterfowl numbers are increasing in Coos County due to the season. Many flocks of teal, widgeon and other ducks are beginning to congregate in places in local bays. The best places to find good numbers of birds are where tide inundates grassy areas. The islands around Coos Bay, Winchester Bay and the Coquille Bay are good places to look for waterfowl. As the season progresses numbers of birds will increase in the bays until flooding of inland agricultural lands causes birds to disperse inland.
