COQUILLE — Coquille artist Anna Crosby is being honored for her more than 50 years of creating art during a celebration Saturday, May 10, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., in the Coquille Community Building, 115 N. Birch St. The event will feature a show and sale of more than 130 of Crosby’s original paintings. The Oldtime Fiddlers will play during a portion of the day. The Northwest Smokehouse BBQ wagon will be available, offering barbecue tri-tip or chicken meals or sandwiches, along with salads, chips and drinks.

Crosby moved to Oregon when she was 7 years old.

She grew up in Portland and in 1953 received a scholarship to the Portland Art Museum Art School, where she studied with instructors Louis Bunce, Manuel Izquierdo and Michael Russo, among others.

Crosby married Marvin Crosby and they moved to a farm near Myrtle Point where she has lived ever since, raising her family and delivering mail, as well as taking art classes over the years.

In 1987, Crosby gave her first pastel workshop at the Coquille Valley Art Center and, soon after, started teaching a class. That experience led to her teaching several other classes and workshops from Canyonville to Florence.

Crosby has been a member of the CVAC for more than 50 years and has taught classes there for 25 years. She has served as superintendent of the art department for the Coos County Fair for more than 10 years.

Subject matter of Crosby’s paintings include flowers, landscapes, portraits, abstracts and semi-abstracts. She works mostly in oils, pastels, acrylics and occasionally in watercolor and pencil.

She has won more than 100 ribbons at the Coos County Fair and many ribbons at the Pony Village Art Show. She also won fourth place in a National Pastel Society of Oregon show.

Crosby teaches at the CVAC on Thursdays and Fridays. Call 541-396-3294 for more information.

Free workshops

USCG offers marine safety for commercial fishermen CHARLESTON — The Drill Conductor Course for commercial fishermen is held over two days. Students will learn emergency procedures and the use of safety equipment aboard commercial fishing vessels. The class will be physically demanding, including timed immersion suit donning, entering the water, entering a life raft, starting pumps, putting out fires, etc. Training is required by 46 CFR 28.270(c).

Participants will need an immersion suit, towel, swim suit, change of clothes, rain gear and photo ID. These courses are offered through a partnership between Alaska Marine Safety Education Association, the U.S. Coast Guard and the many and generous community leaders in your local area.

Learn why tide pools rock BROOKINGS — Hermit crabs, sea stars, sea lemons, chitons, anemones and seaweeds are just a few of the fascinating organisms you will find in Southern Oregon’s tide pools in a workshop offered by Southwestern Oregon Community College in May at the Curry County Campus in Brookings.

At the Friday evening lecture, you will be introduced to Oregon’s marine invertebrates and the ecological community they are a part of. Early Saturday morning participants will go out to Lone Ranch State Park at low tide to find and observe the marine life in the rocky intertidal environment. For the field trip Saturday, dress warm and wear waterproof shoes/boots with good traction.

The lecture is scheduled for 6-9 p.m. Friday, May 16, at the Curry Campus in Brookings. On Saturday, May 17, the class will leave the Curry Campus at 7:30 a.m., returning from the field trip around 10:30 a.m. Nancy Treneman will teach this class. Cost of the workshop is $35.

NEWS AND NOTES ■ In Coos County, Bradley Lake, Butterfield Lake, Bluebill Lake, Eel Lake, Powers Pond, Saunders Lake, and Tenmile Lakes are all scheduled to be stocked with legal size rainbow trout this week.

■ Springs arrived in the mainstem Umpqua.

FISHING Coos County lakes/ponds: rainbow trout, warmwater fish Bradley Lake, Butterfield Lake, Bluebill Lake, Eel Lake, Powers Pond, Saunders Lake and Tenmile Lakes are all scheduled to be stocked with legal size rainbow trout this week.

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.

Largemouth bass should be more active in ponds and small lakes cruising the shallow waters along the shoreline.

Coos Rive r Basin: Dunge ness crab, bay clams, steelhead, rockfish Steelhead fishing is closed in the Coos Basin as of April 30 and will reopen Dec. 1.

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 slow.

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, contact the ODFW Charleston office at 541-888-5515.

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. Before any shellfish harvest trip, make sure to check the Oregon Department of Agriculture website for any updates.

Coquille River Basin: steelhead

Trout season opens in rivers on May 24.

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.

Loon Lake: rainbow trout, bass, bluegill Loon Lake was stocked with about 7,500 trout so far this spring.

The lake also can provide good fishing for crappie, bluegill and bass as the water warms up. The Loon Lake Resort boat ramp is now open.

Tenmile Basin: largemouth bass, trout Fishing for largemouth bass has been good for anglers in Tenmile Lakes. Most of the bass have been caught in shallow water along the shorelines and usually associated with cover like submerged logs or vegetation. Crankbaits and plastics like senkos or brushhogs have been working to catch bass.

Most trout anglers in Tenmile troll wedding rings or other types of spinners usually tipped with a night crawler. Hatchery rainbow trout were stocked in Tenmile Lakes earlier this month. One hundred hatchery rainbow trout were tagged next to the dorsal fin with a 2-inch blue numbered tag as part of a tagged fish contest sponsored by Ringo’s Lakeside Marina. If you catch a tagged trout, stop by or call the marina at 541-759-3312.

Umpqua River, south: Closed to all fishing May 1 until May 24.

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.

HUNTING Spring turkey hunting is now open. Turkey populations are in good shape in Coos County. The best hunting is generally in locations associated with agriculture on private land. Hunters must get permission to hunt on private land unless they own the land. As a result, prehunt scouting is imperative.

Scouting in the early morning as the birds are leaving roosts and going to strutting areas is generally the most beneficial in preparing for a hunt.

Spring black bear season is open.

Generally, bears are most active on clear, sunny, warm days. Bears will generally be found feeding on open slopes where grass is vigorously growing.

Most bears are taken during the last three weeks of the season when the rut for bears begins and their activity is at its peak. Hunters are reminded to check in bears they harvest within 10 days of harvest. Call the ODFW office where they intend to check harvested bears in to so a biologist can be available.

Cougar hunting is open. Hunters can expect an average year. 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.

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 Neo-tropical migrants including common yellow throats are appearing near local wetlands feeding on insect hatches. On days when conditions are good for hatches, birds capitalizing on this food source may be found in profusion and will be entertaining to watch.

Good places to watch this interaction are wetlands next to East Bay Drive, which follows the east side of Coos Bay, wetlands along North Bank Road, which follows the Coquille River from state Highway 42 to U.S. Highway 101, and Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge.

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.
