Film festival a first in Bandon Sprague

BY AMY MOSS STRONG Bandon Western World

BANDON — It’s less about the equipment and more about the story.

That’s the message resident Dave Wilhite is promoting for the inaugural event of the Oregon Coast Film Festival, which will debut Saturday, Oct. 12, at the Sprague Community Theater in Bandon City Park.

Professionals, amateurs, students and tourists were encouraged to enter videos that were 10 minutes or shorter and created on any type of equipment, even a camera phone. The call for entries asked for compelling stories that would fit into one of five categories:

Historical and cultural, tourism, outdoor and recreational, student videos and independent videos.

A panel of judges from the community will review the entries and jury films into the “Best of Festival” evening. The event will feature a reception with light hors d’oeuvres starting at 5 p.m., followed by speakers, screenings and awards starting at 6 p.m.

“There are some great works from individuals in the community,” Wilhite said, adding that the filmmakers run the gamut from professionals to amateurs.

An example of the films entered include a documentary by Bandon resident N icholas Martin

called “Oregon Coast Adventure Journal — Floras Lake to Port Orford,” in which Martin takes viewers on a solo journey from Floras Lake along the beaches and bluffs to Port Orford, crossing both the Sixes and Elk rivers.

A n o t h e r, “The titled Ancient Waters of Bandon, O r e g o n : Discovering Life Forms in the Intertidal Zone,” by Arthur Coleman and Rupert S. Macnee, takes viewers on a trip to the turn of the 20th Century.

“In the 19th century it was part of a fad, especial-

l y in the UK ... (that) if you were a dashing young man and you wanted to show a woman a good time, you would take her to the beach and either botanize or zoologize — as it were,” said Professor Keith Benson a historian with the University of British Columbia.

The film features local actors dressed in 19th Century garb exploring the tide pools in Bandon with commentary by Benson, as well as a score by musicians Candace Kreitlow and Katie Waldren.

Some of the films are as short as a minute and a half while some run longer than 10 minutes. Other titles include a feature about the “California Honeydrops,” a popular California band that has gained a following from performing locally; “Oregon Grass Fed Beef” about the Langlois-based

company; “Circles in the Sand” featuring Denny Dyke creati n g labyrinths in the sand on Bandon b e a c h e s ; “ W a s h e d Ashore” about ocean trash transformed to art, a internationally recognized project that began in Bandon; “On The Right Track — Shore of Coos Bay,” a music video parody made by Beaver Hill Productions for the Coos Bay Chamber of Commerce that features the Coos Bay area; and even an animated short story, “Cobwebs—The Movie, Part 1,” submitted by the Cobwebs Crew, a working group of students at the Rural Design Collective in Port Orford.

There are 15 films featured in the festival.

“The response has been really good,” Wilhite said.

“We are hopeful that a lot of people will attend. The amount of submissions we received makes me realize that next year I can expand it to a larger event, perhaps an entire afternoon or multiple days.”

Wilhite said everyone he’s talked to about the film festival has told him they’ve been waiting for this kind of event to come to the area. The idea has been brewing in Wilhite’s mind for several years.

“When I first came up to Oregon, I saw the landscape and I was just getting into videos and using my video camera,” he said.

“My driving force was to show and share stories and as video became more accessible, it was clear that more were out there.”

Wilhite, who runs the website portorford.tv, is a retired San Diego firefighter who also worked as a web developer with a technology company. He and his wife Amy moved to Port Orford with their two sons several years ago.

There, Dave met Ollie Jones, now executive director of the Bandon Community Youth Center, who then was director of People’s Place, a center run by the North Curry Family and Children’s Center.

Jones sponsored Wilhite to attend a video production class so he could share his skills with local youth.

Wilhite said he is hoping the festival will generate more interest among the youth in the community. Another vision is to promote eco-tourism along the South Coast.

While this is a first for Bandon, there have been other film festivals in the area, including one held at Port Orford’s Savoy Theatre in 2012, featuring nature and Audubonrelated films and hosted by the Kalmiopsis Audubon Society.

“But this festival is more homegrown and grass roots,” Wilhite said.

“It tells the local stories.”

Marshall’s mandolin magic scheduled to be displayed COOS BAY — Evan J. Marshall is the world’s premier solo mandolin virtuoso. By himself, he sounds like several of the world’s finest mandolin players performing together. His stylistic signature is classical, with strong influences from the Italian and American folk traditions. Country guitar legend Chet Atkins called Evan “One of the few great musicians of our time.”

Inspired by Atkins and violinist Jascha Heifetz, Evan has created a uniquely recognizable approach to solo mandolin performance that combines bass lines, chords, rhapsodic runs and tremolo melodies. He started classical violin studies at age 7, and added the mandolin at age 14.

In addition to solo performances throughout the country, Evan has been a featured guest artist in pops concerts with a number of symphony orchestras, including Houston, Phoenix, Long Beach, Grand Rapids, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Jacksonville and Pensacola.

Two of his solo mandolin recordings have been released by Rounder Records: “Evan Marshall Is the Lone Arranger,” which The Washington Post labeled “truly dazzling,” The Raleigh-Durham Independent called “superhuman,” and the Fresno Bee called “mind-boggling;” and “Mandolin Magic,” which the St. Paul Pioneer Press applauded for “a stunning mastery of interpretation.” Evan also has recorded three solo CDs for his own label, Mandolin Conservatory.

In 1995 Evan made his first appearance on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor. Between 1993 and 2005 Evan was a featured soloist at Disneyland, performing his signature William Tell Overture: Finale, for about 2 million visitors to the famous Golden Horseshoe Theater during the course of 10,000 shows.

He has performed and taught at numerous regional and international conferences for mandolinists, who hold Evan in particularly high regard. Don Stiernberg has referred to Evan as “The Michael Jordan of the mandolin.”

During the festival evening, there will be a silent auction featuring posters made for the event

by Bandon High School digital photography students. An equal portion of the proceeds go to the festival and to the artist.

The festival also is set up as a fundraiser. This

Coos County lakes and ponds There has been a change in the fall stocking of rainbow trout due to a shortage of trout at the hatchery. Empire Lakes and Saunders Lake were stocked last week with the fall “trophy”-size trout. Bradley Lake and Powers Pond were not stocked.

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.

Even though the peak of the Chinook fishery is over with in Coos Bay, anglers are still catching bright Chinook in the upper part of the bay. Boat anglers are having the best success in the Coos River while bank anglers are doing well at the city boardwalk, Daniels Creek, and in upper Isthmus Slough. The wild coho season is open in the Coos Basin until Nov. 30. A new group of coho moved into the lower bay over the weekend and anglers did very well catching coho near the Empire Boat Ramp. Anglers are allowed one wild coho per day and two for the season. The wild coho season bag limits are in aggregate with all other wild coho fisheries in the NW and SW coastal basins (not including the ocean season).

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 began in the Coquille Basin on Sept. 15.

Fishing on lower Coquille River has been spotty, but anglers trolling near Rocky Point Boat Ramp are picking up a few Chinook salmon and wild coho. Chinook salmon have also spread throughout the tidewater sections of the Coquille River. The wild coho season started in the Coquille Basin on Sept. 15. Anglers are reporting catching wild coho on the lower Coquille River over the past weekend. Anglers are allowed one wild coho per day and two for the season. The wild coho season bag limits are in aggregate with all other wild coho fisheries in the NW and SW coastal basins (not including the ocean season).

Loon Lake Loon Lake itself, and Loon Lake Lodge and RV Park are open. Due to lack of potable water, the BLM had to close one of their campgrounds; however, the East Shore Campground is open. The day use area and boat ramp will closed Sept. 30. For additional information call the BLM at: 541-599-2254. Loon Lake has been stocked with over 8,000 trout. The lake is also providing good fishing for crappie, bluegill and bass.

Rogue River Fishing in the lower river and estuary have been pretty good as Rogue flows have dropped back into shape.

Anglers are picking up a mix of Chinook and coho in the estuary and those anglers fishing the river are also picking up steelhead and half pounders.

Tenmile basin 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. Five-

or six-inch Senkos are a good bait to use to catch bass in Tenmile Lakes. Anglers should also try to use crankbaits to catch bass.

Yellow perch fishing has been very good in Tenmile Lakes recently. Anglers are catching lots of yellow perch fishing in water 20 feet or deeper. 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).

Fishing for wild coho opened in Tenmile Lakes on Oct. 1. The daily bag limit is one wild coho adult per day and five for the season. The wild coho season bag limits are in aggregate with all other wild coho fisheries in the northwest and southwest coastal basins (not including the ocean season).

Mainstem Umpqua River The mainstem Umpqua is closed to wild steelhead harvest, but remains open year-round for adipose finclipped steelhead. Chinook fishing is best below U.S. Highway 101, and a few are being caught while trolling with the incoming tide. Fall Chinook are finding their way upstream and have been caught by anglers in the Middle Umpqua. Good upstream fishing areas include: from James Woods up to Umpqua boat ramp, Cleveland Rapids and River Forks.

The mainstem Umpqua remains open for catch and release trout fishing through Oct. 31, while the tributaries are closed.

The colder temperatures are making the smallmouth bass less active and the daily limit on smallmouth was increased to 15 per day.

Winchester Bay Winchester Bay has been good for Chinook fishing in the ocean. A few fish are also starting to enter the freshwater and bank anglers at Half Moon Bay and Osprey Point are beginning to have some success. The Umpqua from the mouth, up to the Scottsburg Bridge will be open for wild coho started Sept. 15. Harvest is limited to one wild coho per day, two per season in aggregate. There is a 3,000 fish quota for the Umpqua which is the same as last year. For river specific season, quota, or bag limit information go the ODFW website.

Coos Bay In Coos Bay has been slow. Best places to crab are from the jetties up to the BLM boat ramp off the North Spit.

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. For more information on shellfish in Coos Bay click on the following link: Shellfish Assessment of Coastal Oregon. Before any shellfish harvest trip, make sure to check the Oregon Department of for any updates website Agriculture http://oregon.gov/ODA/FSD/shellfish_status.shtml.

Coos County Marine Mammals: Seal and Sea Lion abundance in coastal waters around Coos County is high this time of year, especially south of Coos Bay. At Simpson Reef, a heavily used haul out exists. From the look out, viewers can see California sea lions, Steller sea lions, harbor seals and elephant seals.

At this time of year, elephant seal females give birth to their young. These large babies may be encountered on sandy beaches. They often appear to be injured, abandoned, or even dying, but they are not. It is normal for female elephant seals to leave their young to fend for themselves after only a month of nursing. During this time, elephant seal pups live off fat reserves and molt their skin. The molted skin decays and causes them to smell, which supports the appearance that they are sick.

They are not; this is a normal part of their development.

Do not approach seals and sea lions you may find on Oregon beaches. If you think an animal you find is, in fact, in trouble, contact your local ODFW office to report the animal or contact the Marine Mammal Stranding Network at 800-452-7888.

Migrating shorebirds: Many of the shorebirds that migrate through Coos County began their migration in July, however, large numbers of migrants can still be seen on mudflats in bays in Coos County. A great place to look for these migrants in Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, located immediately north of the city of Bandon.

Mourning Doves and other migrants: While it still feels like summer to us many birds that migrate to southern North America, Central America and South America are starting their fall migration now. In the case of mourning doves; they are preparing for that migration.

These birds are feeding heavily to build up reserves and strength for the migration. Young-of-the-year birds have now fledged and are becoming strong enough flyers that they will be able to make that migration.

Those who maintain bird feeders will notice new birds coming to their feeders. Many of these are birds that are starting their southward fall migration. That makes fall a great time of year to pay particular attention to feeders to see what new birds are using them.
