New book highlights Myrtle Point area

A pair of pigs relaxed and slept in their pens at last year’s Coos County MYRTLE POINT — The next addition to Arcadia Fair.

Publishing’s “Images of America” series is “Myrtle Point and Vicinity: 1893-1950,” by Chuck King, Linda Kirk, Carolyn Prola and Mary Ellen Robertson. The book boasts 200 vintage images that give an interesting and accurate portrayal of the area during the period of 1893 to 1950 in this Oregon area.

In this new pictorial history book, the town of Myrtle Point’s history is highlighted through rare, vintage images.

Many of these images are being made public for the first time.

The authors, who are all local residents, share their deep affection for the area and the people by providing history and anecdotes to help readers get a better understanding of the area’s identity.

The book begins in 1893, a landmark year when the telephone and the train both arrived in Myrtle Point. It ends in 1950, a time of prosperity for loggers and farmers in southwestern Oregon and for the enterprises in Myrtle Point that served them.

The authors’ profits from the sale of the book are being donated to the Coquille Valley Genealogy Club.

Booksigning noon-8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, at the Coos County Fairgrounds Museum, 770 Fourth St., Myrtle Point. For more information, call 541-396-2200 or 541-572-2182.

COOS BAY — The Dolphin Players will pay tribute to “the Bard” by presenting three short pieces July 20 and 21, leading up to Oregon Coast Music Association’s festival “Salute to Shakespeare” orchestra concert.

“The 15-Minute Hamlet,” by Tom Stoppard, is a classic of the modern theater, condensing the great tragedy into 15 minutes. In “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” a troupe of workmen, who moonlight as actors, present a hilariously inept rendition of the story of “Pyramus and Thisbe” to honor the Duke’s wedding. “The Merry Wives of Windsor” will be represented by several short cuttings.

Even those with little knowledge of Shakespeare will enjoy the plays, according to one of the production’s directors, Levi Goodman. Plot outlines will be available, and the short plays will be easy to follow and understand, with narration provided when necessary.

Although the 15-Minute Hamlet is played seriously and respectfully, the speed with which the plot moves is in itself great fun. The other two plays featured are comedies.

These productions are under the direction of cast members Goodman and Alice Carlson.

The cast also includes Kevin Thurkow, Bill McGuire, Doc Faulkenberg, Jim Thornton, John Beane and Anita Coppock.

Curtain time is 2 p.m. Sunday, July 20; and 7 p.m. Monday, July 21, at the Dolphin Playhouse, 580 Newmark Ave., in the historic Empire district of Coos Bay. Performances are free, but donations will be welcome.

Seating is limited, and the house will open 30 minutes before curtain. For information or reserve seating, call 541-808-2611 or visit the website thedolphinplayers.webs.com.

Conductor gives free lunchtime lectures COOS BAY — Lunch, listen and learn at Coos Bay Public Library on July 21, July 23 and July 25. In collaboration with the Oregon Coast Music Festival, the library will host a series of brown bag lunch programs to coincide with the following days’ festival performance.

The festival’s associate director, Dr. Jason Klein will present lectures on some of this year’s selections along with an insider’s look at how the orchestra functions.

Both festival ticket holders and non-ticket holders are welcome to learn a more about classical music and the orchestra.

Klein is currently the Music Director of the Saratoga Symphony. His entertaining introductions to the music add both historical and human dimensions that delight both novice and knowledgeable audience members.

This program is sponsored by the Coos Bay Public Library Foundation. It is free and open to the public.

Sparkling ‘Sparks Lake’ reflects on a Sister (AP) — Sparks Lake is so beautiful, it doesn’t need to be interesting.

The Central Oregon destination is what photographers dream about at night, with South Sister (10,358 feet), Broken Top (9,175) and Mount Bachelor (9,065) rising in dramatic splendor above crystal water 25 miles outside of Bend.

But Sparks Lake offers more than good looks. Hop into a kayak or canoe and it’s possible to explore a labyrinth of secret passageways, hidden coves and geological oddities in a body of water more fascinating than the glossy magazine spreads might suggest.

Those geological oddities, by the way, are one reason it’s a good idea to paddle this lake on the early half of the summer.

When Mount Bachelor erupted 10,000 years ago, it formed a lava dam that began capturing snowmelt and rainwater to become Sparks Lake. But cracks in the volcanic rock mean the lake is gradually draining water through the summer — you can actually hear the water seeping out — leaving

a shallow and marshy landscape as early as midAugust.

Dave Nissen, owner of Wanderlust Tours in Bend, said he might stop running tours on the lake by late July or early August due to this year’s low snowpack.

“We go by the mantra, ‘When mom nature can’t handle the boats anymore it’s time to stop,’” said Nissen, who has offered tours on Sparks Lake since 1993. “There are a lot of insects in the nymph stage at the bottom of the lake and when you have people getting their boats stuck and walking across the bottom, it can kill a whole bunch of them, which impacts the entire environment.”

When I visited on a recent weekend, the lake was at its best. South Sister and Broken Top filled half the sky, both sporting a layer of high-elevation snow. The lake, which is fed by snowmelt from both mountains via Soda and Fall creeks, was near its largest size of the year and offered many avenues for exploration.

The first challenge,

though, was attempting to find a parking spot. Bend residents do not spend sunny weekends indoors and the gravel road to the lake was lined with cars.

Despite the chaos of a small and rustic boat ramp, once I slid onto the water there was room for a pretty incredible diversity of watercraft.

Canoes and kayaks were the most common conveyance, with stand-up paddleboards a close third. I also saw a row-boat, raft, windsurfer, paddleboat and inner tubes. Although the lake allows motorized boats traveling below 10 miles per hour, in two trips here I’ve never seen one.

The most interesting place to explore, especially this time of year, is the shoreline heading south among the black islands rising from the water.

When lava flows from Mount Bachelor spread over this area, the surface cooled and hardened the rock — stopping its horizontal movement — but the hot lava within the flow had to go somewhere. Like giant loafs of bread, the hot lava expanded and pushed the

rock upward in a process called “inflation,” creating these islands that climb upward of 70 feet.

A few millennia later, the islands are covered with blooms of wildflowers, including crimson columbine and purple larkspur, and a

popular spot to stop and explore.

Further south, the lake widened and I passed a cove with a camping spot. A few boat-in camping spots are scattered around the lake and a family brought in their gear via raft (not a conventional way of getting around lakes, but it works). As I passed, their young children were engaged in an intense game of bumper boats — a game I loved playing at summer camps growing up — with inflatable kayaks. They shouted, shrieked and fell in the water.

The lake extends longer than might be expected — and I followed it down — but my favorite moment was discovering a narrow crack along the shoreline and following it deeper, and then a

little deeper, until it felt as though I was in a cave. It was so quiet between the narrow walls that I could hear the gurgling sound of Sparks Lake performing its most interesting feat.

As the water filters out of the lake, it enters a subterranean system of groundwater that connects just about everything in this region of Central Oregon.

From here, the water filters into places like Snow Creek, Quinn Creek and Little Lava Lake — links in the hydrological network — that eventually becomes the source of the Deschutes River.

“Therein lies the magic,” Nissen said. “There’s so much going on in this amazing lake that doesn’t meet the eye.”

D I G E S T ODFW hosts a kids free fishing event at Pony Village Mall for July Jubilee NORTH BEND — Kids 12 and younger can fish for free today at the July Jubilee Free Fishing Event held at Pony Village Mall, North Bend. The jubilee celebrates the anniversary of North Bend.

Join Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. for spinner making and fish identification games. Kids can catch a trout inside the mall, and no fishing poles, bait or licenses are needed.

The pond will be set up at the east entrance to the mall near Jo-Ann Fabrics.

Razor clams closed July 15 on Clatsop beaches; other beaches remain open ASTORIA — After a great season, razor clamming closed Tuesday on the Clatsop beaches for the annual conservation closure to protect newly-set young clams.

Since 1967 the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has closed the 18 miles of beaches north of Tillamook Head to razor clam digging, while young clams establish themselves on the beach during the summer.

“We want to ensure that the Clatsop beaches continue to be productive for razor clam harvesters,” said Matt Hunter, ODFW’s Shellfish and Phytoplankton Project Leader. “By not disturbing the young razor clams it increases the chance of survival.”

RECREATION R E P O R T

NEWS AND NOTES ■ Cutthroat trout start to move into the estuaries and lower sections of many area rivers.

■ Fin-clipped coho fishing has been good in the Coos Bay and Winchester Bay areas.

■ Trout fishing continues to be good in some higher elevation waters like Fish Lake and Lost Creek Reservoir, where the fish have moved into deeper, colder water.

■ Anglers have started picking up fall Chinook at the mouth of the Rogue River.

FISHING Coos County lakes/ponds: rainbow trout, warmwater fish With warmer water temperatures in the area lakes, trout fishing will be best in the early mornings. Trout will most likely be in the deeper water. Area lakes will not be stocked again until early fall.

Fishing for largemouth bass and bluegills will be best during the mornings and late evenings. Look to find bass and bluegills near cover like weedlines or submerged logs.

Summer is a good time to catch largemouth bass on topwater lures. Small jigs or a worm fished under a bobber are good ways to catch bluegills.

ASTORIA — An Astoria-based business will be showcasing ‘Modern “M inimalist” Salmonid Supplementation’ at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology boathouse in Charleston at 6 p.m. on Aug. 8.

Redd Zone President, Tod Jones, says much of the controversy over salmon revolves around the differentiation between hatchery and wild fish. Stepping back from the passion of this heated debate, a more nuanced analy-

sis is that we are dealing with challenges common to the evolution of any technological application of science, particularly when associated with such complex and diverse cultural linkages as salmon have in the Pacific Northwest.

Viewed in this light is there a satisfactory supplementation solution that can enhance and recover sustainable, abundant runs of salmon with fish that can pass every reasonable standard for being wild? Can evolving technology and techniques that incorporate the latest developments in the fields of genetics and aquaculture— together with an adaptive management culture—achieve society’s mandate for self-sustaining abundant salmon runs?

Recent minimalist supplementation strategies such as eyed-egg planting in suitable substrate and rearing habitat, eschew the large scale hatchery approach that is often perceived as “industrializing” the natural world.

Since a portion of society has made clear that it would rather avoid using traditional hatcheries as the mainstay of salmonid recovery and management, does it make better sense to put other forms of supplementation in the recovery toolbox rather than throw out the toolbox altogether?

“I will introduce the alternative of planting eyed, otolith-marked eggs as a method that is cost effective, yet applies what we have learned from over a hundred years of fish culture to fill under-utilized habitat, while at the same time not viewing it as a silver bullet that alone answers all the needs of ‘recovery’. It is but one more tool in our arsenal to use but to use it wisely,” Jones said.

Coos River Basin: Dungeness crab, bay clams, trout, rockfish, sturgeon Trout season is open in the Coos Basin rivers. Water temperatures are getting too warm in the large rivers so anglers should fish the smaller streams which should have cooler water temperatures. Small spinners, small jigs, and flies all work well to catch trout. In streams and rivers above the head of tide, anglers are restricted to use artificial flies and lures until Sept. 1. The daily limit of trout in streams is two fish over 8 inches.

Sturgeon fishing is open for catch and release only on any size sturgeon.

Crabbing in Coos Bay continues to be fairly slow.

ODFW and OSU researchers have tagged hundreds of red rock crabs with a small blue “floy tag” in Charleston to gain an understanding of their growth, age, movement, population size and fishery. Red rock crabs are native to Oregon and found in only a few estuaries. If you catch a tagged red rock crab, call the ODFW Charleston office at 541-888-5515.

C l a m m i n g 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. Before any shellfish harvest trip, make sure to check the Oregon Department of Agriculture website for any updates.

Coquille River Basin: trout, smallmouth bass, crabbing Anglers are having good success fishing the large to medium-size streams for cutthroat trout. Small spinners, small jigs, and flies all work well to catch trout. In streams and rivers above the head of tide, anglers are restricted to use artificial flies and lures until Sept. 1. The

daily limit of trout in streams is two fish over 8 inches.

Anglers are catching a few smallmouth bass in the mainstem and south fork Coquille rivers. Small spinners or jigs have been working well. There is no size limit or bag limit on the number of smallmouth bass.

Crabbing has picked up in the lower Coquille estuary.

Sturgeon fishing is open in the Coquille Basin for catch-and-release only on any size sturgeon.

Loon Lake: rainbow trout, bass, bluegill Loon Lake was stocked with about 7,500 trout this spring. The lake can also provide good fishing for crappie, bluegill and bass as the water warms up.

Tenmile Basin: yellow perch, largemouth bass, trout Yellow perch are biting on nightcrawlers or jigs tipped with a worm in Tenmile Lakes. The best fishing will be in over 10 feet of water and along weedlines. 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. Early mornings and late evenings are a good time to throw topwater lures for bass.

Trout fishing in Tenmile Lakes continues to be good but anglers should concentrate their effort in deep water in the early mornings and evenings. Trout anglers are having the best success trolling wedding rings or other types of spinners tipped with bait. Rainbow trout tagged next to the dorsal fin with a 2 inch blue numbered tag were tagged as part of a fish contest sponsored by Ringo’s Lakeside Marina.

During the razor clamming harvest closure, ODFW will conduct stock assessments to determine the health of the population, as they have done since 2004 on the Clatsop beaches.

This year the Clatsop beaches had good harvest rates and unusually large clams. The beaches are the most productive razor clam beaches in the state, accounting for more than 90 percent of the total harvest.

Digging for razor clams continues to be open on other state beaches. There are still opportunities to razor clam along the Oregon coast: Cannon Beach; Cape Meares; Agate Beach, including north jetty and south beach; Bob’s Creek; Bastendorff Beach; North Spit near Coos Bay; Bailey Beach and Myers Creek are some of the most consistent. The beaches with the best opportunity are around Newport.

Bay clam harvesting is open coastwide as well. For the latest shellfish safety information call the shellfish safety hotline before harvesting, 800-448-2474.

Umpqua River, south: trout, smallmouth bass Winchester Bay: steelhead, chinook, surfperch Fishing the Triangle and South Jetty has been good for rockfish. Surfperch are still running.

Popular perch fishing areas include the North Beach across from the East Boat Basin and marker 12 above the basin. Ocean fishing out of Winchester Bay has improved as more salmon have moved inshore.

The ocean is now open for Chinook and finclipped coho. Chinook will start entering Winchester Bay providing some bank fishing opportunity from Halfmoon Bay through Osprey Point. Crabbing is also improving.

HUNTING Cougar hunting is open. 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.

Predatory animals: Include coyotes, feral swine, rabbits, rodents and birds (excluding game birds) which are or may be destructive to agricultural crops, products and

activities.

Unprotected m ammals: Badger, coyote, gophers, moles, mountain beaver, nutria, opossum, porcupine, spotted skunk, striped skunk, weasel and yellow-bellied marmot. For any person owning, leasing, occupying, possessing or having charge or dominion over any land (or an agent of this person) who is taking or attempting to take coyote, gopher, mountain beaver (boomer) marmot, nutria, or porcupine on that property, these six species are considered to be predatory animals.

REMINDER: Wolves and coyotes can look alike Most wolves in the state today are in northeast Oregon but a few have dispersed further west and south. Wolves are protected by state and/or federal law and it is unlawful to shoot them. Coyote hunters need to take extra care to identify their target as wolves can look like coyotes, especially wolf pups in the mid-summer and fall. ODFW appreciates hunters’ assistance to establish wolves’ presence in Oregon; please report any wolf sightings or wolf sign to ODFW using the online reporting system.

YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE Sea bird numbers are high along the Oregon coast this

time of year. Many of these birds are here to nest and brood young, others are here to feed on fish and other forage that moves close to shore in the summer months.

Examples of birds that are here for nesting are common murres and cormorants (three species). The best place to see the birds that are here for nesting would be near rocky headlands and off-shore islands. Coquille Point in Bandon is a great place to find both of these habitats. The number of common murres, pigeon guillemots, cormorants and other nesting sea birds is impressive there.

Birds that are here for foraging include California brown pelicans, cormorants (the same three species) and Western greebes, as well as others. 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 bait fish 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 bait fish. Seals, sealions, 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.

From the look out, 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 fact, in trouble, contact your local ODFW office to report the animal or contact the Marine Mammal Stranding Network an 800-452-7888.
