Their music is a combination of blues, gospel, second line New Orleans jazz and early R&B. Since their formation five years ago in the subway stations of Oakland, Calif., The California Honeydrops have completed eight European tours.

Born in Warsaw, Poland, band leader and front man Lech Wierzynski began playing blues and jazz as a teenager at after-hours jam sessions in Washington D.C. After studying trum- Lech continued his career pet with Marcus Belgrave, after moving to Oakland,

BANDON — Bandon’s historical museum is putting together some special exhibits in connection with the Cranberry Festival, Sept. 13-15. Cranberry Court gowns will hang throughout the museum and about a thousand photos.

The museum is featuring pictures of the Cranberry Festival parades and images of the Class of 1963 on its Facebook page through September.

The museum is open every day, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., through the Cranberry Festival weekend. The museum is located at the corner of U.S. Highway 101 and Fillmore Avenue SE, Bandon.

Two Muses’ art show ends PORT ORFORD — Two Muses’ art inspired by poetry from arts ends Saturday, Sept. 7. The show is a collection of 47 works and paintings and 58 poems and prose sponsored by the Port Orford Arts Council. The show is at Seaside Plaza in the middle of Port Orford, between Sirens Cove Cafe and Computer Bytes.

From traditional paintings on stretched canvas to quilting and “new age” constructions of almost bizarre origins, this family rated event even has children’s entries, as clever as any adults, in their visual depiction of an accompanying poem.

Daren Evans, Curtis Hempt, Sheila Oberg and Elma Champneys, combined their efforts to hang the show.

Bob Welch authors kids book DRAIN — The Friends of the Mildred Whipple Library in Drain host author and columnist Bob Welch.

While introducing his first-ever children’s book, “The Keyboard Kitten: An Oregon Children’s Story,” Welch will discuss the power of words, how stories inspire us, teach us, move us emotionally and in short, they change our worlds. Welch explains why. The free, public program will take place at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 16, in the Drain Civic Center, 205 W. A Ave. Along with illustrator Tom Penix, Welch has created what he calls an “Oregon-ized Dr. Seuss book” for kids kindergarten through fifth grade. Ducks. Beavers.

Yachats. Dari Mart. Mt. Hood. Lots of fun and yet, we hope, a story with a message for kids about how we need one another. And with lessons about their state.

You can hear click beetles While chatting at a booth at the farmers market in downtown Coos Bay recently, a small visitor alighted on my shoulder. A half-inch long or so, but narrow, the shiny black beetle was also quick.

Finally captured upside down, the thing suddenly launched into the air with such speed we only saw it land back on my shirt.

A click beetle!

Why “click” beetle?

These small beetles have two small projections on the outside back corners of their thorax (the middle section of insects’ three main body parts) that point backwards, nearly touching the front edge of the wing covers that lay over the top of the abdomen (the back section of insects’ three main body parts).

The beetle can arch its rather flexible body so that the projections get caught on the front edge of the wing covers, spring-loading the body at that joint.

The click comes in when the catch slips. Besides making a cool noise (kind

though with small six legs of an insect. While the larvae of most click beetles (called “wireworms”) eat tiny animals in the soil, some species feed on roots, sometimes becoming agricultural pests.

We caught this visitor several times, holding it in my open hand to watch it as it clicked and tried to fling itself away. But it eventually took wing before we could get a close enough look at it to get beyond “small dark-allover click beetle” for later identification.

While the click beetle may have been stressed by the chance encounter, the humans found it a fun morning diversion.

Coos River Basin Trout fishing in streams is open until Oct. 31. The daily limit for trout caught in streams is two per day and all streams and rivers in the basin are open to the use of bait.

Chinook fishing in the Coos Bay estuary was very good last week. The best fishing occurred near the McCullough Bridge up to SOMAR (Coos River). There are also a few salmon higher upstream on the South Fork Coos River and Isthmus Slough. Anglers trolling cut plug herring behind a flasher are having the best success. A few anglers have caught big California halibut (up to 30 pounds) while trolling the deep water channel for salmon. The wild coho season will begin in the Coos Basin on Sept. 15.

Crabbing in Coos Bay is starting to pick up. Crabbing off the docks still continues to be slow. Best places to crab are from the jetties up to the BLM boat ramp off the North Spit.

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.

Coquille River Basin Trout season for streams in the Coquille River Basin is open until Oct. 31. The daily limit for trout caught in streams is two per day and all streams and rivers in the basin are open to use of bait. The wild coho season will begin in the Coquille Basin on Sept. 15.

Smallmouth bass are biting on the Mainstem and South Fork Coquille rivers. There is no size limit or bag limit on the number of smallmouth bass anglers can keep in the Coquille Basin.

Salmon anglers have been picking up a few Chinook trolling cut plug herring on the lower Coquille River.

Anglers are having the best success trolling near Rocky Point Boat Ramp. Overall the salmon fishing has been slow. The fishing should pick up in the next couple of weeks.

Crabbing is starting to pick up in the lower Coquille River near Bandon.

Pacific Ocean and beaches: The recreational Dungeness crabbing is open in the ocean. Crabbing has been better in the ocean than inside the local bays.

Fishing for bottom fish including rockfish, and lingcod is now closed outside of the 30 fathom curve until Sept. 30.

The marine fish daily bag limit is seven fish and a separate daily limit for lingcod (two). Retention of 1 cabezon per day is now allowed.

Fishing for bottom fish has been a little slower this

past week.

Chinook salmon fishing in the ocean remains open.

Anglers have had good success fishing near Coos Bay and Winchester Bay. Trolling with cut plug herring works well.

The ocean nonselective coho season is open every Thursday through Saturday until the end of September or until the 19,580- fish quota is met.

All Pacific halibut fishing is closed for the year.

Tenmile Basin Trout fishing has been slow in Tenmile Lakes due to warm water temperatures.

Bass fishing has been decent for anglers in Tenmile Lakes. Largemouth bass can be found in both shallow and deep water near weed lines and/or submerged logs.

Yellow perch fishing has been very good in Tenmile Lakes recently. Anglers are catching lots of yellow perch fishing right on the weed lines in 10 to 16 feet of water.

The best baits are jigs and/or night crawlers fished on or near the bottom. Some of the yellow perch being caught are very large (12 to 15 inches).

Finders keep glass treasures found on the beach LINCOLN CITY — Every Saturday in September, glass art will be placed on the beaches in Lincoln City for lucky beachcombers to find and keep. The first of these special drops will be Sept. 7. Among the treasures will be glass crabs and sand dollars.

“It’s great to get people excited about the upcoming season of Finders Keepers with a number of special art drops because it is such a popular promotion,” said Scott Humpert, public relations coordinator with the Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau. “We enjoy featuring other pieces of art such as glass sand dollars, crabs and starfish that are not out on the beaches on a daily basis once Finders Keepers hits full swing.”

Keep an eye out for additional special glass art drops throughout the next several months. For a schedule of upcoming drops visit www.oregoncoast.org/finders-keepers.

Finders Keepers is an annual promotion, featuring handcrafted glass floats being placed along the public beaches in Lincoln City, from the Roads End area to the Cutler City area.

You find it, you keep it! The project began in 1997, when a local artist first thought of glass floats as an intriguing way to launch the new millennium. Lincoln City sponsored the project, hosting the inaugural season in 1999-2000. Tourists continue to come from around the country to search for their own brilliantly colored, signed and numbered glass float.

OUTDOORS D I G E S T Errors in Oregon game bird regulations SALEM —The “What’s New in 2013-2014” section at the top of page six of the printed 2013-2014 Oregon Game Bird Regulations is incorrect.

The canvasback daily bag limit within the daily duck bag limit should be two, not three. So the third bullet point at the top of page six should read “The canvasback daily bag limit has been increased to two.”

The canvasback daily bag limit is correct on page 16 of the regulations. It has also been corrected in the online version of the 2013-2014 Oregon Game Bird Regulations: http://www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/hunting.

Duck hunters should take note of the error. Duck hunting season opens Oct. 5 in Eastern Oregon and Oct. 12, in western Oregon and the Columbia Basin area.

Ocean anglers can keep unclipped coho NEWPORT — Under new rules effective Sunday, Sept.

1, anglers will be able to keep non adipose fin-clipped coho salmon caught in ocean waters between Leadbetter Point, Wash., and Cape Falcon.

This change, combined with an increase in the Chinook bag limit adopted last week, means anglers can now keep two adult coho or Chinook salmon (or a combination) with or without a clipped fin.

Anglers are reminded that it is illegal to be fishing in an area with a prohibited fish in possession, so anglers with a legally caught unclipped ocean coho or Chinook are not allowed to continue fishing in the Columbia River, where currently only fin-clipped fish may be retained.

Almost 20,000 coho remain in the harvest quota for the Columbia River ocean management area, prompting the National Marine Fisheries Service to approve the retention of wild coho.
