COOS BAY — Local watercolor artist, Sherry Howk, will have her vibrantly colored creations on display at Coos Bay Public Library through the end of August.

Her watercolor exhibit may be viewed free during regular library hours.

Howk is a relatively new artist. After her retirement in 1999, she studied watercolor art under Barbara Lippold and has since studied drawing with charcoal and graphite with Barbara Mahon.

Howk is active with Bay Area Artists Association; having served more than seven years as secretary; and on the Hospitality Committee; and is a current member of Coos Art Museum.

Howk’s watercolors have been shown at Coos Art Museum, Pony Village Mall, Cottonwood Studio, The Artist Loft Gallery, Easy Lane Frames and Gallery, Florence Community Center, SOCC’s Eden Hall and various locations for Art Walk.

Inspiration for her works comes mainly from nature and the beauty that abounds on the southern Oregon coast and her travels as a “Navy brat.”

Veterans ‘Stand Down’ event assists with resources COOS BAY — The fifth annual South Coast Veterans Stand Down event will be Friday, Aug. 15, at the National Guard Armory, 255 N.

Contact Jennifer Spatz at 541-435-7083 for more information about donations. Donations may be dropped off at ORCCA, 1855 Thomas Ave., Coos Bay (located west of Walmart).

The event has grown steadily each year and the 2013 South Coast Veterans Stand Down served nearly 500 veterans and family members. The Stand Down is sponsored by the South Coast Veterans Assistance Network, through the Coos Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization.

Donations are tax-deductible.

Three more ‘Ink Spots’ shows FLORENCE — When a show is so good, audiences want more, you add performances. Toe-tapping musical entertainment by five of the Oregon Coast’s strongest vocalists, Marty Adams, Mary Beers, Denise Dee, Mike Jacobson and Nancy Pearson, will be performing “If I Didn’t Care: A Tribute To the Ink Spots.” Additional shows will be 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 24, at The Florence Playhouse. Tickets for the Florence shows are $10 and can be obtained by calling 541-997-1675, at On Your Feet With A Splash or 30 minutes prior to showtime at the door.

For one show only in Coos Bay, a dinner show will begin at 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 30, at Red Lion Hotel at 1313 N. Bayshore Drive, in Coos Bay. A three-course meal during the show will cost $39 each. Tickets for this performance must be purchased in advance, seating is limited. Tickets are available by calling 541-999-9671.

Jacobson directed “If I Didn’t Care,” and did extensive research on the Ink Spots and their enormous influence on popular music from the mid-’30s to the present day. Jacobson recalls that back in the ’60s there were over 100 groups performing simultaneously throughout the U.S., all claiming to be Ink Spots, so popular was the music. “If I Didn’t Care,” recorded in 1939 for Decca, sold 19 million copies and eventually became the seventh-largest selling song in American popular music history. “The Gypsy” and

Performers are Nancy Pearson, Michael Jacobson, Maree Beers, Marty Adams and Denise Dee. several Ink Spots/Ella Fitzgerald collaborations like “Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall” and “Cow Cow Boogie” also topped the charts for months at a time.

The group’s signature style of a lead tenor and a talking bass became a formula for hit after hit from the late ’30s through the ’50s, and influenced many other vocal groups, most notably The Platters, who covered several of the Ink Spot’s biggest hits like “My Prayer” and “To Each His Own.”

Flicker Community Farm Project will have a garden tour COQUILLE — The Coquille Valley Seed Library is hosting a free garden tour at 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 14, at the Flicker Community Farm Project on Garden Valley Road in Coquille (0.9 mile off state Highway 42).

Tour hosts Don and Mei Luce participate in a grass-roots effort to turn idle acres in Coos County into family-sustaining farms. For a nominal lease fee, gardeners tend quarter- to half-acre parcels to feed their families; they sell a portion of their excesses and donate one-third of

what is grown to charity. Their garden practices include row gardening through plastic mulch, green manures and cover crop techniques.

Sarah and Matt Crawford’s adjacent garden demonstrates their method of polyculture and no-till techniques.

Manny and Linda Gonzalez’s garden is constructed of recycled materials — salvaged timber and old fishing nets.

This will be a potluck event, so please bring a dish to share, a bever-

age to drink, a plate and utensils and a chair to sit in.

If you are interested in gardening, seed saving, biodiversity and/or organic growing methods, the seed library is for you. Help grow and preserve locally adapted vegetable and herb varieties by becoming a Coquille Valley Seed Library member. For more information: www.CoquilleValleySeedLibrary.org.

Please help us maintain a fragrancefree environment during these meetings.

Celebrate annual Cranberry ‘Round Up’ in Bandon BANDON — It’s a Cranberry Round Up in 2014: Bandon’s 68th annual Cranberry Festival comes to town Sept. 12-14.

Did you know the festival parade is almost as old as the festival itself?

The parade was added to the event list in 1948. The first parade featured many of the traditional elements we enjoy today: color guard, cranberry court, tractors and fire trucks.

1948 festival organizers even awarded prizes. Judy Brown, later Bandon Mayor Judy Densmore, won

the best children’s entry with her decorated tricycle.

Today, participants tap their creative cranberry juices to fashion parade entries based on a theme.

Theme ideas are submitted by community members, and winners selected by the festival committee.

The 2014 theme, Cranberry Round Up, was suggested by Mary and Ron Evans.

Festival prizes aren’t reserved for parade entries. Join the Queen of the Kitchen cranberry cooking contest,

or dive into a dish of berries in the Cranberry Eating Contest.

The Cranberry Festival is organized by the Bandon Chamber of Commerce with support from sponsoring businesses and organizations. The parade is Saturday morning, Sept. 13; entry forms are due by Sept. 10. To join the tradition, contact Julie Miller at the Chamber of Commerce, 541-3479616, or visit bandon.com/cranberry-festival for information and registration.

BANDON — Southwestern Oregon Preppers and the city of Bandon will host Disaster Movie Night at 7 p.m.

Friday, Aug. 15, at the Bandon Library in the Sprague Room, 1204 11th St. SW, Bandon. Admission is free.

“Dante’s Peak” will be showing. A vulcanologist arrives at a countryside named Dante’s Peak after a long dormant volcano, which has recently been named the second most desirable place to live in America, and discovers that Dante’s Peak may wake up at any moment.

After the movie ends, there will be an open discussion to determine what we should and shouldn’t do in a similar disaster.

This is a free public meeting to get to know fellow local preppers in southwestern Oregon counties and to exchange information and ideas. It is important for individuals to understand that they will be “on their own” in the event of a disaster and not to depend on receiving outside help. Join Southwestern Oregon Preppers on Facebook and/or meetup.com.

Centipedes, however, can inflict a painful bite.

Both millipedes and centipedes lay eggs that hatch into miniature adults. Some species in each group brood or care for their eggs. Throughout their lives, millipedes and centipedes play important roles in soil ecology, con-

verting and mixing organic material. Myriapods play roles in our household ecology as well: Centipedes are especially helpful by reining in populations of cockroaches, silverfish and other pests.

So, why were the millipedes we encountered in the restroom dead?

Myriapods don’t have a waxy, waterproof cuticle on the surface of their bodies that insects do, so they easily dry out. Most likely, the animals wandered into the building seeking a damp spot and dehydrated before they could find one.

Fish and Wildlife Commission sends ODFW budget to governor SALEM —The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission approved last month a $357 million budget proposal for the Department of Fish and Wildlife for the 2015-17 biennium that includes a combination of program cuts, adjustments to licenses and fees, and proposals to shift some programs from license fees to state general funds.

With commission approval, the proposed budget will be submitted to Gov. John Kitzhaber for his consideration. Final determination of the ODFW budget would come from the 2015 state Legislature. Changes to license fees, if approved, would take effect in 2016.

The commission first considered the 2015-2017 agency budget in June. The budget adopted July 16 includes some changes made in response to commission and public comment, including: ■ Restoration of four assistant district fish biologists in field offices.

■ Funding for increased hatchery production called for in the Coastal Multi-Species Conservation and Management Plan.

■ Restoration of some positions in the Western Oregon Stream Restoration Program.

Other commission business: 2014 coastal salmon seasons/2015 sport fishing regulations The commission set the 2014 coastal Chinook and coho salmon seasons, which are very similar to the 2013 seasons. For Chinook, there are more liberal seasonal bag limits on the Siletz and Yaquina rivers, and slightly more restrictive bags on the Chetco. Also on the Siletz, the Chinook angling deadline will shift further upriver in October. The Winchuck River will be closed to fishing in 2014 based on recent and projected Chinook returns.

For coho, bag limits and open fishing periods will be identical to the 2013 season, except for a reduced quota on the Umpqua River and minor date changes. In 2014 most coho fisheries will be conducted based on conservative bag limits and seasons; only three fisheries (Beaver Creek, Umpqua River and Floras River) will have harvest quotas.

The commission also adopted the 2015 sport fishing regulations that will take effect in January. Most of the changes for 2015 are housekeeping actions related to corrections, formatting changes and simplification.

Other regulation changes for 2015 include: Permanent extension of the spring Chinook season in

Other changes to migratory game bird hunting for the 2014-15 season:.

■ The cackling and Aleutian Canada goose bag limit restrictions have been removed in both the NW general and NW permit Oregon goose zones. The bag limit will be four Canada geese per day, except for dusky Canada geese in the NW Permit Zone.

■ The white-fronted goose bag limit will increase from six to 10 per day except in Lake County where the bag limit will remain one per day.

■ Late-winter white-fronted and white goose seasons have been added in Lake and Harney counties, similar to those in already held in Klamath and Malheur counties.

Summer Lake Wildlife Area and Malheur National Wildlife Refuge will be closed during the late-winter hunt timeframe (Jan. 26 – March 10).

■ Bag limit of 20 white geese per day during late-winter hunts in Klamath, Lake, and Harney counties.

■ The bag limit for Canada geese will increase from four to six per day during the entire season in the South Coast Zone.

■ The bag limit for mourning doves will increase from 10 to 15 per day and the season will increase in length from 30 to 60 days.

■ The opening date for the NW Permit and General goose zones has been shifted forward by two weeks so the season would open on Oct. 18, similar to seasons prior to 2011.

■ The overall dusky Canada goose quota in the NW Permit Zone has increased from 90 to 165 geese for the season.

■ The area of the Columbia River (from the railroad bridge at Celilo to Arlington), previously closed, will be open to game bird hunting.

■ NW Goose Permit Zone hunters will be allowed to check in at any check station.

Though the change wouldn’t take effect until 2015, the commission also approved changing the eastside reservation system at Sauvie Island Wildlife Area from firstcome, first served to a random draw. This is to allow all hunters to have an equal chance to hunt in their preferred area.

2015-20 Upland Game Bird Framework: The commission also decided on a regulatory framework for the 2015-20 upland game bird seasons. Upland bird season frameworks are adopted on a five-year basis to provide consistency to wildlife managers and bird hunters. The following changes will take effect Sept. 1, 2015:

■ Quail, chukar, Hungarian partridge seasons will extend until Jan. 31 in Umatilla and Morrow counties (currently close Dec. 31).

■ Eastern Oregon forest grouse season will extend until Jan. 31 (currently closes Dec. 31).

■ Spring turkey season bag limit increased to three (from two) statewide; daily bag limit will remain at one.

■ Retention of fully-feathered head OR wing for identification in the field (previously only head allowed).

Changes to wildlife management areas Finally, the commission consolidated wildlife management area and public river access rules into one OAR Division 008 (from four different places in rule and regulation) and added some ODFW managed lands not called out in current regulations into the rules. Proposed changes to parking permit regulations were postponed.

The Fish and Wildlife Commission usually meets monthly. The next meeting is Sept. 5 in Joseph.

Youth pheasant hunts in September SALEM — Youth hunters (age 17 and under) can now sign up for free upland bird hunts being planned at 11 locations across the state in September (Baker City, Central Point, Corvallis, Eugene, Irrigon/Umatilla, John Day, Klamath Falls, La Grande, Madras, Portland, The Dalles/Wamic).

ODFW and partners stock pheasants at these special hunts that give youth a head start on regular pheasant seasons, which don’t begin until October. Quail and dove may also be hunted. Volunteers from Oregon Hunters Association and other sportsman groups often bring their trained hunting dogs to guide participants. Some events also begin with a shotgun skills clinic, so participants can practice clay target shooting before hunting.

With the exception of a mentored youth hunt at EE Wilson Wildlife Area near Corvallis on Sept. 21, these events are only open to youth who have passed hunter education. An adult 21 years of age or older must accompany the youth to supervise but may not hunt.

“If your child made it through hunter education but is still new to the sport, this is a great way to get them started,” says James Reed, ODFW hunter education coordinator. “These events happen before regular pheasant seasons open and are a great opportunity for kids to get out hunting.”

The hunts emphasize safety. Both hunter and supervisor must wear a hunter orange hat, eye protection and a hunter orange vest—equipment provided by ODFW at the clinics to anyone who doesn’t have it. Hunters also need to check in and out of the hunt.

To register, sign up online, at a license sales agent, or at an ODFW office that sells licenses. Two locations,

Fern Ridge Wildlife Area in Eugene and Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area in La Grande, don’t require advance registration.

The hunts are free, though youth hunters need a valid hunting license ($14.50) and Harvest Information Program validation (free) to hunt. Youth hunters age 1417 also need an upland game bird validation ($8.50).

While most areas have a hunt both Saturday and Sunday, youth hunters may only sign up for one hunt.

They are welcome to hunt stand by on the other day.

Hunt Areas and Dates: ■

Baker City area (private land) - Sept. 27 and Sept. 28 Central Point (Denman Wildlife Area) – Sept. 20 and 21 ■ Corvallis - E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area – Sept. 20, 27 and 28 ■ Eugene - Fern Ridge Wildlife Area – Sept. 13 and 14. No advance registration required.

Directions for signing up online: ■ Go to the license sales page.

■ Enter the Hunter/Angler ID (ODFW ID#), last name and Date of Birth of the youth hunter. (If the youth hunter has never purchased an ODFW document, choose “New Customer” under the “Hunter/Angler ID#” drop down arrow.)

■ Select green “Register for a Class” tab.

■ Verify your customer information.

■ Select Youth Upland Hunt tab.

■ Select hunt of choice.

■ Continue through the checkout process. It is not necessary to bring the receipt to the youth pheasant hunt.

Finally, there will be a Mentored Youth Pheasant Hunt on Sept. 21 at EE Wilson Wildlife Area near Corvallis.

This event is open to youth who haven’t completed hunter education; a parent or adult age 21 or over must accompany the youth. For mentored youth hunts, the youth hunts on the adult’s license, validation and pheasant tag. For more information on this class, go to ODFW License Sales Page / View Classes / Workshops / Outdoor Skills tab and then select the Sept. 21 “Mentored Youth Pheasant Hunting Workshop” event.

RECREATION R E P O R T

FISHING Weekend fishing opportunities ■ The first fall Chinook of the season are showing up in Winchester Bay, and anglers have started picking up fall Chinook at the mouth of the Rogue River.

■ Chinook and coho fishing has been good in the ocean just outside of Coos Bay.

Warm temperatures increase stress on fish With summer temperatures heating up throughout the state, anglers should take special care when catching and releasing fish.

■ Fish early mornings.

■ Fish in lakes and reservoirs with deep waters.

■ Use barbless hooks, land fish quickly and keep them in the water as much as possible. Anglers who keep the fish in the water when looking for finmarks or taking photos are leaders in stewardship of the resource.

■ Shift your fishing efforts to higher elevation mountain lakes and streams.

■ Target warmwater species, such as bass, bluegill and crappie, that are available in many lakes and reservoirs statewide.

Coos County lakes/ponds: rainbow trout, warmwater fish 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 time 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.

Coos River Basin: Dungeness crab, bay clams, trout, salmon Trout season is open in the Coos Basin rivers. 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.

Salmon fishing was a little slow over the weekend for anglers trolling cut plug herring on the Coos Bay bar with a couple chinook salmon caught. Remember only chinook and fin clipped coho can be kept right now inside Coos Bay. 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.

ODFW and OSU researchers 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 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.

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 Trout season is open in the Coquille Basin rivers.

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.

A few salmon have been caught in the lower Coquille River by anglers trolling cut plug herring. This is the start of the salmon run and fishing will improve in the next couple of months.

Anglers are catching a few smallmouth bass in the mainstem and South Fork Coquille rivers. Small spinners or jigs have been working well to catch smallmouth bass.

There is no size limit or bag limit.

Crabbing has been good in the lower Coquille estuary.

Dock crabbers are picking up a few legal-size Dungeness crab.

Loon Lake: rainbow trout, bass, crappie, bluegill Tenmile Basin: yellow perch, largemouth bass, trout Yellow perch are biting on nightcrawlers or jigs tipped with a worm. 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.
