Friday and Saturday performances will begin at 7 p.m. with Sunday matinees beginning at 2 p.m.

The internationally popular game is now a fun-filled musical that brings the world’s best known sus-

pects to life and invites the audience to help solve the mystery of who killed Mr. Boddy, in what room and with what weapon? The audience receives forms to help them deduce the solution from clues given throughout the fun-filled evening.

Three audience members choose from cards representing the potential murderers, weapons and rooms.

There are 216 possible solutions!

Only one hard-nosed detective is

qualified to unravel the merry mayhem. Comic antics, witty lyrics and a beguiling score carry the investigation from room to room. Even after the culprit confesses, a surprise twist, the colorful crowd pleaser delights the audience.

Good Questions class begins at Unity By The Bay NORTH BEND — A new 10-week class is being offered at Unity By The Bay in North Bend, beginning Sept. 6 based on the book “Good Questions, Answering Letters from the Edge of Doubt,” by Tom Shepherd.

Drawn from Shepherd’s popular column in Unity Magazine, “Good Questions” gives informative and provocative answers to many of the most gut-wrenching questions people ask as they navigate life and the spiritual path.

Sample art products with Holly

We will be discussing his answers about God, evil, religion, the Bible, healing and forgiveness — as well as homosexuality, bigotry and violence.

Shepherd’s goal is to help readers think more critically and spiritually about their lives. As he asserts, “Heart and head must work together, for disparaging either will condemn humanity to fanaticism or ignorance.”

For the first class, please read the Forward, Preface and Introduction, look through chapters 1

and 2 and pick out a couple of questions that “intrigue you.” Read the response and be prepared to discuss your thoughts and why you may or may not agree.

The book is available at Unity Connections Bookstore at Unity By The Bay or from online sources.

Classes will be held 1011:30 a.m. Saturdays beginning Sept. 6. Cost will be on a love-offering basis. Unity By The Bay is located at 2100 Union Ave., in North Bend.

This relationship also makes it more efficient for the green plant to draw and use nutrients from the soil, adding considerably to its ability to thrive. Such relationships are the key to survival for many trees and shrubs that live in the sandy, porous soils of the Oregon Dunes.

Mushrooms are described and organized by the form and shape of the fruiting body, as well as the material the mycelium is growing in.

Many wild mushrooms are deliciously edible — and a few are quite poisonous. Further, mushrooms of a single species can vary greatly and many species can be confused with others. Accurate identification is absolutely essential for safely collecting delicious wild mushrooms for the table.

Lower Rogue River Salmon Derby through weekend GOLD BEACH — The fourth annual Lower Rogue River Salmon Derby is running in Gold Beach through Sunday. This Blind Bogie tournament includes daily “Big Fish” winners, in addition to the top three major prizes.

■ First Place prize nets $1,000 in cash and prizes.

■ Second Place prize is $500 in cash and prizes.

■ Third Place prize is $250 in cash and prizes.

Winning weights will be between 10 and 50 pounds, and — as a Blind Bogie Tournament — you don’t have to have the biggest fish to win prizes! Entrants can fish and register all salmon caught for the Blind Bogie drawing — all for the entry fee of just $25.

“With the 2014 fall Chinook season going strong and the coho run about to start, this tournament will be full of fun for the family,” said Derby chairman Jim Carey.

Derby entry tickets are selling at Rogue Outdoor Store, Lex’s Landing, Jot’s Resort and the Gold Beach Visitor’s Center. For information on food, lodging and attractions, call 800-525-2334 or check www.goldbeach.org.

This derby is one of the major fundraisers for Curry Anadromous Fishermen (CAF), the group that runs the Indian Creek Hatchery. The CAF volunteers have been operating Indian Creek Hatchery since 1988, and are excited to welcome both prior anglers Trish Waters of Grass Valley, Calif. and a prior derby place winner, shows off a catch and new-to-the-area fishermen.

Brian O’Keefe guest at Lower Umpqua Fly Fishing club COOS BAY — If you are now or think you may become interested in fly fishing, don’t miss the 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 8, meeting of the Lower Umpqua Fly Fishing club, in the meeting room of the Coos Bay Fire Station, 450 Elrod Ave., in Coos Bay.

RECREATION R E P O R T

Weekend fishing opportunities ■ Sept. 1 brings big changes to fishing in the upper Rogue, with the regularly scheduled closure of Chinook fishing, and the start of the artificial fly season. Please see the angling regulations for additional details.

■ On the lower Rogue, half-pounders have really started to move this week, and anglers fishing with flies and spinners are reporting excellent success.

■ Summer trout anglers can have success fishing the deeper waters of Applegate and Lost Creek reservoirs, fishing Lost Creek upstream of the Highway 62 bridge, or fishing the river upstream of Lost Creek Reservoir.

■ Clamming has been excellent during low tides near Charleston, and off Cape Arago Highway and Clam Island. Trout fishing at Lost Creek has been very good recently, with limits on fish to 15-inches reported last week.

Warm temperatures increase stress on fish With summer temperatures heating up throughout

possible. H is travels include Tonga, Bikini Atoll, New Zealand, Chili, Argentina, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Kashmir, England, Brazil, N icaragua and more. He has been involved with numerous fly fishing magazines, including Outdoor Life and Field and Stream.

The Lower Umpqua Fly Fishing club meetings are free and visitors are welcome.

Popular boat ramp re-opens for fall salmon angling CHARLESTON — Good news for Millicoma River anglers: the popular Rooke-Higgins boat ramp reopened in time for fall Chinook angling. The boat ramp is on the upper tidewater section of the river about 7 miles east of the city of Coos Bay. The ramp closed a few years ago when a lease between the former landowner and Coos County expired. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wild obtained Sport Fish Restoration grants from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and a Boating Facilities grant from the Oregon State Marine Board to purchase the property for public access and boat launching.

The Coos County Parks Department made upgrades and repairs, including replacing the bumper rails, clearing accumulated mud from the lower ramp, and installing new signs. The county also will manage the facility and hopes to replace the restrooms and floats in the future.

Anglers will have greater access to the fall Chinook salmon in the Coos Basin now that the boat ramp has reopened. The fall fishery began in mid-August in the lower bay and moves toward upper tidewater with the rains of late September and early October. The fish eventually make their way to freshwater streams to spawn in late fall and winter.

the state, anglers should take special care when catching and bluegills near cover like weedlines or submerged logs. and releasing fish.

Summer time is a good time to catch largemouth bass on ■ Fish early in the mornings when water temperatures are lower.

■ Fish in lakes and reservoirs with deep waters that provide a cooler refuge for fish.

■ Use barbless hooks, land fish quickly and keep them in the water as much as possible in order to minimize stress. 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 where water temperatures often remain cool.

■ Target warm water species, such as bass, bluegill and crappie, that are available in many lakes and reservoirs statewide. However, even warm water fish can feel the effects of the heat, and anglers should try to land and release them as quickly as possible.

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 anglers are catching Chinook salmon from the “chip pile” near the BLM Boat Ramp up to Marshfield Channel. Anglers are having the best success trolling cut plug herring around slack tides. Remember only Chinook and fin clipped coho can be kept right now inside Coos Bay. The wild coho season does not open in the Coos Basin until Sept. 15.

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 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.

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: trout, smallmouth bass, salmon, 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 more Chinook salmon were caught over the weekend in the lower Coquille River by anglers trolling cut plug herring near Rocky Point Boat Ramp and near Bandon. The wild coho season does not open in the Coquille Basin until Sept. 15.

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 on the number of smallmouth bass you can keep in the Coquille River Basin.

Crabbing has been good in the lower Coquille estuary.

Dock crabbers are picking up a few legal-sized Dungeness crab at Weber’s Pier in Bandon.

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

Sixes River: cutthroat trout Cutthroat fishing has been good in the estuary when the weather has cooperated. Best access is at Cape Blanco State Park, but it can be very windy so anglers

should check the weather and try to fish early morning.

Tenmile Basin: yellow perch, largemouth bass 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 weed lines. 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. Early mornings and late evenings are a good time to throw topwater lures for bass.

Umpqua River, South: trout, smallmouth bass The South Umpqua opened for trout and smallmouth bass fishing May 24. Check the regulations for gear and harvest restrictions. Water levels are low, so boaters will want to check the flows or consider using rubber rafts.

The South Umpqua will be closed for all fishing from Sept. 16 through Nov. 30.

Winchester Bay: steelhead, Chinook, surfperch, tuna Fishing the Triangle and South Jetty has been good for rockfish. Ocean fishing out of Winchester Bay has improved as tuna and more salmon have moved inshore.

The ocean is now open for Chinook. Some Chinook have already entered Winchester Bay and fishing will continue to improve in the bay area. This will provide some bank fishing opportunity from Halfmoon Bay through Osprey Point. Crabbing is also improving in Winchester Bay. HUNTING
