COOS BAY — The Bay Area Concert Band begins its season with a concert at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 23, at the North Bend Presbyterian Church on Pony Creek Road, in North Bend. The concert will be under the direction of Mark Allen.

Allen has selected a nice variety of music including, “Funeral March of a LB. Marionette,” arranged by Gounod, that was played as the theme song for the TV series “Alfred Hitchcock Presents.” Another enjoyable piece is “Children’s March” by Percy Grainger, which provides a vivid mental picture of children at play.

Please plan on attending this event and supporting your local musicians and friends.

This is a free concert with donations appreciated and used to provide scholarships for local students.

New Artists presents ‘The Guardian’ BANDON — Turn on your imagination and visualize you are in the ancient city of Thebes in Egypt, modernday Luxor. A group of archeologists has just discovered a new tomb. The tomb is believed to be the final resting site of the Priestess Iset, a princess of the 20th dynasty.

She is known for her unusual abilities to cast spells and create deadly curses. Iset is the daughter of Pharaoh Amenhotep the Third who was a feared and hated ruler.

He buries Iset alive in her tomb so she will always remain vigilant as a guardian of the entrance to the Valley of the Kings. All who pass by her tomb may fall under her spell as they enter the Valley; it is even worse for those who enter her tomb.

Twenty-two young actors from the New Artists Productions program will take the Sprague Community Theater stage to unfold the story and to solve the mysteries of Iset.

“The Guardian” opens a two-weekend run beginning Oct. 17. Tickets are $10 adults, $8 senior citizens, $5 students (K-12), and are available at Bandon True Value Hardware, 541-347-2506; Bandon Mercantile, 541-3474341; at the box office prior to each show; or by reservation with the Almichs at 541-347-2517.

Show dates for “The Guardian” are Oct. 17, 18 and 19; and Oct. 24, 25 and 26. Show times are Fridays and Saturdays 7 p.m.; Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.

Gold’s glitter lures modern prospectors BATTLE GROUND, Wash. (AP) — There’s gold in them thar hills of Southwest Washington.

And in our rivers and on our beaches, too. You just have to know how and where to look for it.

Several times a month, members of the Southwest Washington Gold Prospectors club pack up their pans, sluices and shovels and go on field trips. More experienced members work claims on their own, too.

“There’s a little bit of gold all over. You’d be amazed,” said Randy Harper, president of the prospecting club. “But there’s a lot of work in it,” added Harper, who lives in Camas. “It’s not easy finding gold.”

The Associated Press On a recent weekend, Randy Harper, right, shovels dirt into a sieve while Patrick Vercoe washes it. Digging in the background is members of the Damien Haralson.

Coquille River. Anglers are having the best success fishing from Rocky Point up to Bear Creek trolling cut plug herring. Bank anglers have been catching Chinook salmon near Sevenmile Creek casting spinners. Anglers have been picking up wild coho from Bandon to Rocky Point trolling spinners.

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 along the waterfront in Bandon.

Loon Lake: rainbow trout, bass, bluegill Loon Lake has been stocked with nearly 8,000 trout.

The lake is also providing good fishing for crappie, bluegill and bass. The boat ramps will be open through early fall.

Sixes River: cutthroat trout Rains last week opened the mouth of Sixes and a few Chinook have been moving in with the tides.

Tenmile Basin: yellow perch, largemouth bass A blue green algae advisory has been issued for Tenmile Lakes. The lake remains open for fishing, but the Department of Human Services provides recommendations for how the public can protect themselves and their pets.

Yellow perch are biting on nightcrawlers or jigs tipped with a worm in Tenmile Lakes. Yellow perch will be moving towards the deep water (20 feet) and concentrating in big schools. 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. As the water temperatures cool the bass will move into shallower water will bite all day long.

HUNTING Hunting Tips — Rifle deer season open Deer populations have been showing recovery in much of Coos County. General rifle deer season runs through Nov. 7.

Generally, the best hunting for deer locally is found on private land such as those owned by timber companies. Hunters should contact private land owners before accessing their lands because most private land was closed for hunting through most of the bow season because of fire concerns. Depending on fire danger, some lands may still be closed to hunting. The best places will be near ridge tops and on a south slope where brush is growing that has not been overtaken be trees.

Grouse and quail seasons opened Sept. 1. Hunters will find the best hunting for both quail and grouse on closed roads on public land.

Grouse will generally be found near streams and quail will generally be found neat ridge tops, with the exception of valley quail which are usually found near agricultural lands.

Black bear general bear season opened Aug. 1. Bear populations are robust in much of Coos County and offer opportunities for hunting. Due to mild weather conditions, this spring berry production is very good this summer.

Hunters should look for isolated berry stands where vehicle traffic from other people will not disturb bears from feeding on berries. Places like the ends on closed forest roads where berries are growing provide some of the best places to hunt bears that are feeding on them. Walking through these areas in the early morning or late evening or setting up tree stands near these areas are great ways to hunt bears on the Oregon coast.

Cougar hunting is open.

Hunters can expect an average year. Cougars are abundant throughout with indicators pointing to stable or increasing numbers.

Harvest success is greatest adjacent to private land with high deer populations using a predator call.

YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE Sea Birds Birds that are here for foraging include California brown pelicans, cormorants and Western grebes. Great places to watch these birds and their activities are Coos Bay, near Charleston and the Coquille Bay near the harbor in Bandon. Feeding birds can be seen diving on baitfish in the bay and sometimes working in unison to corral fish near shore. Occasionally other animals get in on the action when foraging birds have located baitfish.

Seals, sea lions, porpoise, and even whales will go after these fish as birds are mounting attacks from above.

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. From the lookout, viewers can see California sea lions, Steller sea lions, harbor seals and elephant seals.

Shore Birds Shorebird migration is in full swing. A large variety of birds can be found in local bays and along beaches.

Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge is probably the best place in Coos County to see these birds. The Bandon Marsh Unit is located immediately north of Bandon and is probably the best part of the refuge to visit for shore bird observation. Otherwise mud flats in Coos Bay, Winchester Bay (Douglas County) and the Coquille Bay are great places to check.
