COOS BAY — Prompted by the recent destruction of the Ai Weiwei vase, Break This Jar for Coos Art Museum came about.

It’s a chance for one small contribution to return a great deal more in honor of that Ai Weiwei vase.

As part of an exhibit “the jar” was to be broken and displayed at the bottom of the painting.

But a brilliant fundraising idea arose from the prior mishap.

During the Robert Canaga solo exhibit running April 18 through June 28, art patrons are invited to enter a drawing for a chance to pick up “the jar” from under the painting, drop it and keep what’s inside — $200.

Each ticket for a chance to Break This Jar is $5. The jar breaking event will be posted on YouTube and all proceeds from ticket sales will go to Coos Art Museum. The actual jar breaking is yet to be scheduled, but it’s coming soon. If you would like to break the jar by proxy, send your entry to “Break This Jar” c/o CAM, 235 Anderson Ave., Coos Bay, OR 97420.

of items and treasures donated by members for sale. Tradition says the “white elephant” was given as a gift to the king’s rival, knowing that the upkeep and care would bankrupt him.

Today it can mean a valuable gift given to someone who no longer needs or appreciates it.

Coquille Valley Art Center is a nonprofit organization located at 10144 state Highway 42, southeast of Coquille. CVAC is supported by membership fees, class fees and other fundraising events. Coquille Valley Art Association was established in

the 1950s as a place where local artists could explore and improve their art. Today it is located in the same restored school building off state Highway 42 just southeast of Coquille. Individuals from Coos and Curry counties have opportunities to take weekly classes and workshops in fine arts, pottery, woodcarving, quilting, stained glass and fiber arts.

Young readers meet to discuss book

COOS BAY — The Coos Bay Public Library’s Forever Young Adult Book Club, a young adult fiction book group for adults 18 and over, will meet at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 6, in the library’s Cedar Room to discuss “Fangirl,” by Rainbow Rowell.

“Fangirl” is “a coming-of-age story of fan fiction, family and first love,” following Cath, a college freshman and avid fan of the fictional character Simon Snow who finds herself struggling to balance college life, home life and fan life.

A book club for fans of young adult literature who are “a little less Y and a bit more A,” Forever Young Adult is for any adult who never outgrew teen fiction, or who has found themselves enjoying the genre later in life. Learn what the cool kids are reading these days and find yourself falling in love with the rich, varied world of young adult literature.

Interested patrons can place a hold on a library copy of the book by calling 541-269-1101 or visiting the library’s website at bay.cooslibraries.org. No registration is required for this free program.

‘Miss Representation’ to be screened Coos County libraries will celebrate Poet William Stafford in Oregon Reads 2014 COOS BAY — What kind of messages are our sons and daughters receiving from movies, television, music and the Internet? An award-winning documentary, “Miss Representation” will be shown at 6 p.m.

Thursday, April 24, in the Marshfield High School auditorium. The film is an excellent opportunity to initiate a discussion about these issues; all ages are welcome to attend.

According to the 90-minute film’s website, “Miss Representation” explores how mainstream media contributes to the under-representation of women in influential positions by circulating limited and often disparaging portrayals of women. The film’s motto, “You can’t be what you can’t see,” underscores an implicit message that young women need and want positive role models, but the media has thus far neglected to provide them.

There is no cost to attend, but donations to The Maslow Project are welcomed, including canned and packaged food, paper products and personal hygiene items.

This event is hosted by the Marshfield High School Z-Club, a group of school students working to develop leadership skills, promote career exploration and participate in community, school and international service projects. The Z-Club is sponsored by the Zonta Club of Coos Bay Area, which is also cosponsoring the film.

NORTH BEND — Coos County’s public libraries invite local readers to join readers across the state in celebrating Oregon’s greatest poet, William Stafford. Oregon Reads 2014 is a special project of the Oregon Library Association and is this year’s Title Wave program of the Coos County Library Service District.

Stafford was born in Hutchinson, Kan., in 1914 and died at his home in Lake Oswego in 1993 at the age of 79.

Between 1960 and 1993, he wrote and published over 60 books, including 12 full-length books of poems. He was an influential and beloved teacher of writing at Lewis and Clark College in Portland for 32 years.

Stafford was Oregon’s Poet Laureate from 1974-1989, Poetry Consultant to the Library of Congress during 1970-71, and won the National Book Award in 1962.

Stafford’s poetry is very accessible: it tends to be short and deceptively simple. His plain-spoken style brings readers into the poems right away, frequently taking unexpected

turns and guiding the reader to poignant discoveries. His poems are at once quiet, sly, serious, sometimes funny, and are always down-toearth.

The celebration features Kim Stafford reading his father’s poetry and giving a talk about the poets life at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 15, at the North Bend Public Library. There will be a book signing after his talk.

Kim Stafford is the founder of the North West Writing Institute at Lewis & Clark College, and is a widely acclaimed poet and essayist. He is a winner of the Western States Book Award.

The celebration continues at 7 p.m. May 21, at the OSU Extension Building, 631 Alder St. in Myrtle Point. Oregon Book Award finalist Brian Doyle of Portland will talk about William Stafford’s life and works. Doyle is the editor of Portland Magazine, at the University of Portland. He’s the author of 10 books of essays, including the popular novel Mink River. His essays have appeared

in the annual Best American Essays, the Best Science & Nature Writing and the Best Spiritual Writing anthologies.

These special events are free and open to the public.

Coos libraries are featuring three books by William Stafford in this 100th year since his birth: Ask Me: 100 Essential Poems; The Osage Orange Tree (a story for young adults); and Everyone Out Here Knows: A Big Foot Tale (a picture book for children).

Also featured is the biography, Early Morning: Remembering My Father, by Kim Stafford. These books are available for checkout at public libraries and Southwestern Oregon Community College Library. Books By the Bay in North Bend offers a discount on the featured books.

Oregon Reads is made possible by the Friends of the Library and Foundations of Coos County, the Coos County Library Service District, The Mill Casino-Hotel and Books by the Bay.

Wild gingers offer a surprise beneath their handsome leaves Green hearts were tucked in shady spots among the rocks and emerging shrubs along the trail around the Shore Acres Garden pond. The surprise was to see the wild ginger already blooming in late March.

You’d readily notice the wild ginger’s handsome evergreen leaves.

Perhaps confused with violets, wild ginger leaves are broad (about three inches across) hearts standing three or four inches off the damp and dark forest floor.

The leaves of wild ginger are different from most violet leaves, however: they’re broader and darker, a bit more leathery with more noticeable veins, and they have a more pronounced cleavage at the top of the heart. Further, while violet generally grows in clumps or mats, wild ginger leaves pop up in short lines along the forest floor.

Wild ginger leaves and flowers arise from nodes on the stem that grow through the duff along or just under the soil surface. Living right at the surface of the soil leaves wild ginger particularly vulnerable to fires.

You might miss the remarkable flowers of wild ginger if you didn’t know to look for them. Hidden under the leaves, wild ginger’s striking flowers lay on or near the ground. It is widely supposed that the flowers are

Hinsdale Gardens open April 26 for tours REEDSPORT — The Friends of Hinsdale Garden have announced an open day for the iconic gardens east of Reedsport, Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. The date chosen is meant to correlate with Earth Day weekend.

Last year, more than 450 people came to the garden on the single open day.

Spruce Reach Island, across state Highway 38 from the Dean’s Creek Elk Viewing Area, is the former estate of O.H. Hinsdale. He planted azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons on the 5acre site.

Sue Martino is president of the Friends of Hinsdale Garden. The garden appears to already have plants in bloom

and Martino said that H insdale designed the garden to be in continuous bloom throughout the spring and into the summer.

SEE HINSDALE | PAGE 7

Continued from Page 6 “I was out there the other day and there’s all kinds of things in bloom right now,” she said. “The camellias are usually gone by Mothers Day and they’re all bloomed out.

Some of the magnolias are blooming right now. Some of the red and pink rhodies are in bloom right now. They’ll be a lot more in bloom come April 26.”

The group plans to open the gardens for three days.

The next open day will be Mother’s Day weekend, May 10.

The last day this year is set for Memorial Day weekend, May 24.

The friends group is getting help from the Lower Umpqua Economic Development Forum. That group, which has agreed to partner with the friends, gave a $225 donation this year to help with expenses of opening the garden for three days.

Lewis Transportation and the city of Reedsport’s DialA-Ride will help to transport visitors to the garden.

Oregon Beach Monitoring Program opens public comment Oregon Beach Monitoring Program works with the Department of Environmental Quality to determine beaches that need monitoring based on several established criteria. These criteria include: pollution hazards present, previous monitoring data and test results, type and amount of beach use and public input.

As part of an adaptive sampling plan, beaches and sampling locations are re-evaluated every other year to ensure available resources, best protect public health.

The last evaluation occurred in 2012; OMB and DEQ reevaluated the sites to be considered for the 2014 season.

The proposed list of re-evaluated locations is listed below. To view monitoring sites for the 2013 season, please visit OMBP’s Beaches We Monitor webpage.

Sunset Bay and Bastendorf Beach will be Coos County’s participants.

Contact OBMP by May 9, to share your comments, email Beach.Health@state.or.us or call 971-673-0400.

2014 ocean salmon seasons promise plenty of angling opportunity Vancouver, Wash. — The proposed 2014 ocean salmon seasons announced by the Pacific Fishery Management Council this week include good news for both sport anglers and commercial troll salmon fishermen off the Oregon coast.

Recreational and commercial troll Chinook salmon fishing this year looks to vary from good to great based on forecasted adult returns destined for key river basins of the Columbia River, the Central Valley in California, and the Klamath River. Although fishery managers are forecasting returns to the Central Valley and Klamath River fall Chinook to be well below the 2013 totals, they should be abundant enough to result in good Chinook catches along the entire Oregon coast.

Managers are predicting tremendous runs of Chinook to return to the Columbia River later this summer. This should provide for some great fishing both in the ocean

and the Columbia River in August.

Thanks to much improved hatchery and naturally produced coho populations, the 2014 ocean coho seasons should provide the most time on the water for coho fishing since the 2010 season. Mark selective fishing for hatchery coho beginning in late June is expected to be very good along the Oregon coast, especially from Bandon up to the Columbia River. The Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain non-selective coho season will open Aug. 30 to coincide with Labor Day weekend.

“We are expecting a very good coho season this year, and, if the stars line up just right off the Oregon coast, Chinook fishing could be even better than last year,” said Chris Kern, ODFW administrator for ocean salmon fisheries. “This should be a great year to be out on the ocean.”

Sport anglers and commercial troll fishermen already have been fishing along the Oregon coast south of Cape Falcon, and fishery managers have been hearing of good ocean Chinook catches from waters offshore from Newport to Bandon, according to Eric Schindler, ODFW ocean salmon project leader.

“Our season is already off to a good start, and should only get better from this point on,” he said.

Summary of the ocean seasons adopted by PFMC:

Annual fishing derby for kids coming LANGLOIS — The Langlois Lions Club is hosting the annual Van Wormer Memorial Fishing Derby at Floras Lake on Saturday, May 3. The derby is open to ages 3-14.

RECREATION R E P O R T

NEWS AND NOTES ■ Several lakes in Coos County have been recently stocked. Empire and Tenmile lakes will be stocked this week.

■ April is typically a good month to fish for striped bass in the Coquille River.

■ Cooler weather this week could put Chinook in the lower Rogue back on the bite.

■ Spring turkey hunting is now open.

North of Cape Falcon to Leadbetter Pt., Wash.

■ Recreational season for hatchery fin-clipped Chinook from May 31-June 13

(9,000 coastwide quota).

■ Recreational season for all salmon from June 14-Sept. 30 with a two fish limit, of which only one can be a Chinook and all coho must be fin-clipped. Quota of 92,400 coho with 13,100 Chinook guideline.

■ Commercial troll salmon seasons are similar to last year, but will have larger quotas. Seasons will start May 1 for Chinook and July 1 for hatchery coho and continue through September 16 or until a quota is met.

South of Cape Falcon ■ Sport Chinook from Cape Falcon south to Humbug Mt. open March 15 through Oct. 31, and from Humbug Mountain to the Oregon-California border is open May 10 through Sept. 7.

■ Sport fin-clipped coho open June 21-August 10 (quota of 80,000 coho) from Cape Falcon south to the Oregon-California border.

■ Sport non-selective coho from Aug. 30 through September with a quota of 20,000. Open from Cape Falcon south to Humbug Mountain.

■ Commercial troll Chinook salmon seasons from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain that provide for full fishing from April 1 through July 31, Aug. 6-29, and fall fishing with weekly trip limits of 65 Chinook from Sept. through Oct. 31.

■ Commercial troll Chinook salmon seasons from Humbug Mountain to the Oregon-California border from April 1 through May 31 without trip limits or quotas, and then June 15-30, July 1-31, Aug. 6-29, and Sept. 12-27 seasons managed by quota and daily trip limits.

The regulations adopted by the Pacific Fishery Management Council this week cover ocean waters 3- 200 miles from the state’s shore. In late April, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission will be asked to consider concurrent regulations for Oregon’s territorial water that extend 3 miles from the shoreline. The regulations must also be approved by the National Marine Fishery Service and the Secretary of Commerce.

FISHING Tenmile Basin: steelhead, largemouth bass, trout Steelhead fishing is open in the Tenmile Basin until April 30. Most steelhead anglers have put away their steelhead fishing gear for the year. In the Tenmile Basin, from Dec. 1 through April 30, anglers may keep one additional adipose fin-clipped steelhead per day for a total aggregate of three adult fish harvested daily.

Fishing for largemouth bass is starting to pick up in Tenmile Lakes. Look for actively feeding fish along the shoreline in the warmer shallow water. Anglers will have the best success with slower moving lures.

Trout fishing in Tenmile Lakes should start to pick up this month as the water temperatures warm up. Most trout anglers in Tenmile troll wedding rings or other types of spinners usually tipped with a night crawler. Hatchery rainbow trout will be stocked in Tenmile Lakes this week.

Umpqua River: winter steelhead The South Umpqua is open for winter steelhead fishing through April 30. The South Umpqua is then closed to all fishing until May 24. Most hatchery steelhead return to the South Umpqua, so anglers interested in harvesting a hatchery fish will be most successful in the South. The rain has improved conditions on the South.

and boat anglers have been doing well and a good number of hatchery fish have been caught recently, especially between Canyonville and Lawson Bar. Winchester Bay: steelhead Steelhead will be migrating up the Umpqua for the next several months as they transition from winter steelhead to summer steelhead. Most steelhead fishing in the lower Main is catch and release. Fishing the Triangle and South Jetty has been good for rockfish.

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

Coos County lakes/ponds: rainbow trout Empire Lakes and Tenmile Lakes are scheduled to be stocked this week with legal size rainbow trout. Trophy trout are scheduled to be stocked this week in Bradley Lake, Powers Pond and Empire Lakes. Anglers have been catching trout by fishing PowerBait near the bottom or by casting spoons/spinners. Fly anglers have been catching trout casting and retrieving small streamer or nymph patterns.

Coos River Basin: Dungeness crab, bay clams, steelhead, rockfish In the Coos Basin, from Dec. 1 through April 30, anglers may keep one additional adipose fin-clipped steelhead per day for a total aggregate of three adult fish harvested daily. Anglers wanting to fish the South Fork Coos River should be aware that Weyerhaeuser typically does not allow angling access after March.

Anglers are still catching rockfish and lingcod inside Coos Bay around the jetties, submerged rockpiles, and near the railroad trestle near the U.S. Highway 101

bridge. Fishing is usually best around slack tides.

Crabbing in Coos Bay continues to be fairly slow but some crabbers have been able to harvest some legal size crab.

In a cooperative effort including ODFW and OSU researchers, hundreds of red rock crabs 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 crabs 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 541-888-5515.

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: steelhead In the Coquille Basin, from Dec. 1 through April 30, anglers may keep one additional adipose fin-clipped steelhead per day for a total aggregate of three adult fish harvested daily.

April is typically a good month to fish for striped bass in the Coquille River. Good places to fish are around the Arago Boat Ramp, Johnson Mill Pond and Sturdivant Park.

HUNTING Spring turkey hunting is now open.

Spring black bear season opened April 1 and continues through May 31. Generally bears are very inactive and difficult to find in the early part of the season. So far, very few reports of bear sightings have come to the ODFW office in Coos County, which is to be expected. However,

some bears are active now due to the relatively mild weather conditions this spring. Hunters who have an urge to start hunting may find bears if they are slow and methodical in their search. Most active bears will be found on southern exposures where grass is greening up in clear cuts and natural forest openings.

Bear activity will increase as spring progresses. Most bears are found during the last three weeks of the season.

Hunters are reminded to check in bears within 10 days of harvest. It is important that hunters call the ODFW office where they intend to check harvested bears so a biologist can be available.

Cougar hunting is open. Cougars are abundant 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.

Coyote populations are good in Coos County and they will often respond to calls. Calling coyotes in the coast range is challenging due to brush. Many landowners with sheep are complaining about losses of sheep to coyote predation. Hunters may find success in asking for permission to hunt where landowners are losing sheep.

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.
