It’s a wrap!

Local visual artists take part in an upstart film festival in Bandon that is looking to gain traction following a successful 2014 event

BY TIM NOVOTNY The World

NORTH BEND — As the film industry in Oregon continues its resurgence, a local film festival is looking to grow right along with it.

The Oregon Coast Film Festival held its “Best of the Festival” event Oct. 11 at Bandon’s Sprague Theater. A day-long event that, this year, featured a storytelling workshop, feature film and an evening of short documentaries.

Festival organizer Dave Wilhite was appreciative of the community support.

“We’re really pleased with the attendance today,” he said, following the event. “We wanted to expand this year’s event, and the workshop and feature film additions were well received.”

According to the state’s main film industry website, www.oregonfilm.org, “Oregon’s history in the motion picture industry dates back to the silent film era. With over 400 feature films and television projects shot in Oregon since then (as well as hundreds of commercials).”

There does appear to be an opportunity for great growth for the festival, and the film industry in general. This month the Governor’s Office of Film and Television welcomed a new executive director, Tim Williams, who came on board looking to keep the momentum going throughout the state.

Williams has been both an executive and independent producer for more than 25 years and has partnered on projects with companies as diverse as Fox Searchlight, FreMantle Media, HBO, BBC, Vuguru, Hulu, BlipTV, Legendary Pictures and Film Finances.

“I’m excited about the people, the talent and the infrastructure that I have met and seen in Oregon,” Williams said, upon announcement of his hiring. “I can’t wait to help build on what is

already a thriving creative community through a program which seeks to invest in a diverse pattern of both local and outside projects. This is a state I have always admired, having family who live and were born here, but it wasn’t until working on WILD (starring Reese Witherspoon) that I saw the strength of the Oregon production community and the diversity of locations that make this such a great filming destination.”

It is not taking too great a leap to say that the revitalization of the state’s film industry can be a help to up-and-coming film festivals like the one held in Bandon. That, in turn, gives a chance for people, who otherwise may never get the chance, to create new works and get important feedback to help them grow in the art.

Steve Wilson, who you may recall was profiled in GO! earlier this month, saw his film, “I Am Not OK,” take top honors in the Documentary Short Films, Independent Film category. This was his first film festival, and he says he found it to be a rewarding experience on many levels.

Recognition and validation are just the tip of the iceberg.

“When you know that other people, who don’t know you, they are not your mother or your wife, they just like your work and that is a great feeling,” he says.

It can also be inspirational for the filmmakers and nonfilmmakers alike.

Wilson says the films give viewers a fresh perspective, and are also able to open doors to new conversations.

He says one visit was all it took to inspire a return to an event that he anticipates will only continue to grow.

“It’s going to get better every year,” Wilson said. “So, those people that didn’t have a venue, like me, other than YouTube, will go to that film festival so that people can see their work. And to get feedback, good and bad, is really

very important, I think.”

Other honorees from the 2014 Oregon Coast Film Festival included Nan Parsons, who won the “Best of Festival” award for an Independent Feature Film called “Reclamation.”

Award-winning photographer at The World newspaper, Alysha Beck, didn’t place this time, but was able to use the opportunity to showcase three different short films created during her time at the paper. Meanwhile, the “Audience Choice” award went to “Raw Oregon,” a short film documenting a standup paddleboard trip down Oregon’s South Coast. It features locals paddlers, in addition to a few professional paddlers, who trekked from Port Orford to Brookings. And it was produced by Gold Beach native Will Taylor.

“It takes a ton of courage to have your video shown on a 50-foot wide screen, with beautiful sound, and knowing that hundreds of people are watching,” Wilson says. “It takes a lot of courage, and once you get past that you can move forward and keep producing even better stuff.”

Next year’s film festival is planned for October 2015. For more information, check out the website: www.oregoncoastfilmfestival.org.

Cally Smith’s mother, Cammy, shows where Cally’s processor attaches to a cochlear implant under her skin. Cally, 9,was born with bilateral hearing loss and had surgery for a cochlear implant at 14 months old.

Her device works by picking up sound and transmitting it to a series of electrodes that stimulate the hearing nerve in her inner ear. This is a scene from one of three short videos produced by Alysha Beck that was viewed at this year’s Oregon Coast Film Festival.

Copper tubes on the custom made rum still spiral into a jug at Stillwagon Distillery in Charleston. The distillery will be producing white, gold, dark and spiced rum in December. A video on the distillery by Alysha Beck was one of three she had at the Oregon Coast Film Festival.

Bryophytes: Mosses and liverworts share unusual sex After a dry summer and unusually warm start to autumn, the recent rains revive our lichens and bryophytes.

“Bryophytes”?

Mosses, liverworts, and hornworts are grouped together as bryophytes (“BRY-o-fights”).

Bryophytes need places that are wet at least part of the year. However, they don’t need much more, making them good pioneering plants that build soil and offer habitat in otherwise bare surfaces.

Small and non-woody, bryophytes don’t have a well-developed vascular

system, the tubes that somes — those cells are allow fluids and materials described as “diploid.” In to move from one part of a the flowering parts, the plants make cells with only plant to another. one set of chromoMore interestsomes — the seeds ingly, the whole and pollen — those issue of sexual NATURE are described as reproduction is GUIDE different for JOURNAL “ haploid.” (In humans, eggs and bryophytes than sperm are the hapfor most familiar loid gametes.)

(The life cycle of ferns has a separate tiny plant that is haploid — a tiny plant that produces haploid gametes.)

Bryophytes are unusual in that the conspicuous, leafy plants are haploid: they have only one set of chromosomes in most cells. In bryophytes, only small, temporary structures are diploid.

Have you ever noticed the wiry stalks sticking out of the moss, each wire topped with a tiny, cylindrical capsule? The stalks and capsules are the only diploid part of moss; most of the moss is haploid.

Liverworts, too, are mostly haploid, with only very small parts that are diploid. In that way, bryophytes use a lifePhotos by Marty Giles cycle/sex system that’s Some scaly liverworts sport nail-shaped reproductive parts that grow opposite of ours.

While the diploid part — up out of the flat body of the plant. This plant lives in a potted plant on the fruiting bodies — of a deck in Coos Bay, June 2008.

This scaly liverwort was found growing over damp ground at South Slough.

mosses are capsules on stalks, the diploid part of many liverworts are shaped like cups or like tiny umbrellas or golf tees, and the diploid part of hornworts are shaped like long horns.

While mosses are quite familiar to most people, liverworts and hornworts are rather less familiar.

Further, the “leafy” liverworts look very much like moss and can be difficult to identify unless they’re fruiting.

Besides the speciesspecific fruiting bodies, leafy liverworts and mosses also differ in how the leaves are arranged: Leafy liverworts have their

leaves in two flat rows (sometimes there’s a third row tucked beneath them, on the underside); moss leaves are generally arranged in spirals around the “stem” (though the spirals are sometimes squashed). Leafy liverwort leaves do not have a midrib and most moss leaves do.

“Scaly” liverworts look a bit like minuscule bits of green snakeskin, and hornworts look like scaly liverworts with horns.

And, yes, some species of bryophytes can be identified only by using a microscope to pick out tiny distinguishing features.

While they certainly

appear similar to casual observation, recent DNA evidence indicates mosses, liverworts, and hornworts are not very closely related. Bryophytes do share a need for damp, and they’ll all welcome the start of the wet season.

More information about bryophytes is posted on the Wavecrest Discoveries’ Facebook p a g e : www.facebook.com/wav ecrestdiscoveries. For information on how you can arrange an exploration of our fascinating natural history, contact Giles at 541-267-4027, mgiles@wavecrestdiscoveries.com.

Commission adopts big game regulations and plan to hire new director MEDFORD —The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission has adopted the 2015 Oregon Big Game Regulations, which includes increasing the statewide cougar quota.

Major changes include several modifications to archery season regulations as a result of the recent Archery Review Public Advisory Committee process, including: ■ Adding three controlled archery deer hunts in Walla Walla, Mount Emily and Wenaha units, and removal of the requirement to have a controlled elk archery tag to deer hunt. The tag will also be valid during the general archery season.

■ Adding a new November controlled archery whitetailed deer hunt in the Wenaha unit (estimate 30 tags, will be the hunters only archery deer opportunity).

■ Severing the link between archery deer and elk tags in Sled Springs, Chesnimnus, Maury, and Warner units, meaning an archery elk tag will no longer be required to hunt deer.

■ Adding new Maury and Warner unit controlled archery elk hunts. Tags will also be valid during the general archery season.

■ Returning Sled Springs, Chesnimnus, and Steens Mountain units to the general archery deer season.

Other changes include: Increasing the statewide cougar quota from 777 to 970 to reflect increasing cougar populations, more damage and public safety issues from cougar in some areas, and deer and elk populations that are below objectives in many areas.

Adding one week to the Saddle Mountain unit late archery deer hunt and ending a long-standing closure for deer hunting in the unit north of the Burlington Northern tracks. The area was closed years ago to protect Columbian White-Tailed deer. The deer population has expanded, making the closure unnecessary.

Added the Keating unit and removed the Stott Mountain unit from areas where archery hunters and hunters with a disability permit may take an antlerless elk during bull seasons.

The commission turned down a staff recommendation to add a new spring bear hunt in Southwest Oregon. The Siskiyou Plus hunt would have added 250 tags to the spring season.

The commission also adopted a recruitment plan for a new agency director. The plan calls for a national search to replace Roy Elicker who recently retired to take a position with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The recruitment will be open from Nov. 3 through Dec. 5. Finalists will be interviewed by the commission in February. The recruitment process will begin with a public survey regarding the characteristics and qualities the new director should have. The public will also have the opportunity to meet the final candidates in February. The survey

and the recruitment plan will be available on the ODFW website next week.

The commission was also briefed on potential de-listing of wolves in eastern Oregon from the state Endangered Species Act. The Oregon Wolf Plan, adopted in 2005, calls for considering de-listing when eastern Oregon has four breeding pairs for three consecutive years. Staff has documented at least four packs reproducing in the previous two consecutive years. If that trend continues, the de-listing process would begin in April 2015. Before de-listing could occur, the commission must determine that wolf populations in eastern Oregon are not likely to become endangered, existing state and federal regulations are adequate to protect wolves, and that other criteria are met.

In other business, the commission: ■ Approved a three-year pilot program that will allow the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to make specific short-term repairs to culverts in western Oregon without having to meet all requirements for fish passage. As part of the pilot program, ODOT would improve fish passage at each site they repair, and pay $1.8 million into an ODFW-managed account that would fund high priority fish passage projects. In addition, ODOT would fund a new transportation liaison position, managed by ODFW, to coordinate implementation of the agreement.

■ Held a joint meeting with the California Fish and Game Commission. Thursday’s meeting included briefings on Klamath Basin Restoration, ocean acidification and temperature changes, the Oregon Wolf Conservation and Management Plan and other issues of interest to both states.

■ Recognized the contributions of the Bob and Phyllis Mace family to wildlife in Oregon. The Mace family established a trust fund to benefit fish and wildlife and contributed millions of dollars to watchable wildlife efforts, including the Bob and Phyllis Mace Watchable Wildlife Center at the Jackson County fairgrounds.

The commission’s next meeting is Dec. 5 in Salem.

Commission seeks feedback on new director SALEM — A national search is underway for a new director for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

The first step in the recruitment process is to gather public input on the qualifications the director should have.

An online survey also asks for thoughts about issues the new director is likely to face in the next 10 years. The survey results will be used by the commission and the Department of Administrative Services in recruiting and screening candidates for the position.

The online survey will be open through Oct. 27.

The public will have the opportunity meet the final candidates for the director position at a public meeting Feb. 12 at the ODFW headquarters in Salem. The commission will interview the finalists at their meeting Feb. 13.

ODFW has new tools to help anglers navigate marine reserves NEWPORT — The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has introduced some new tools to help ocean anglers map the boundaries of marine reserve areas as they fish off the Oregon coast.

Fishing is prohibited within Oregon’s four marine reserves and it can be difficult for anglers to know whether they’ve entered a marine reserve area, said Stacy Galleher, ODFW community engagement coordinator for marine reserves.

The new tools offer anglers a variety of ways to download the marine reserve coordinates onto a number of different devices: ■ Download coordinates directly to common handheld and boat GPS devices.

■ Create a map at home where the marine reserves can be downloaded and displayed on Google Earth.

■ Download a mobile app called FishAlerts.

Developed by a private company, Great Outdoors Mobile Inc., this free app displays rules summaries for all marine protected areas in the United States, including those in Oregon.

Anglers can find links to all of these options at the state’s Oregon ocean info website under the “News from ODFW” section.

It has been the agency’s goal to provide information about the boundaries and harvest restrictions of the marine reserves sites in as many different ways as possible, Galleher said. In 2013 the agency issued thumb drives with mapping information to commercial fishers who could input the boundaries to their PC-based navigation plotters.

RECREATION R E P O R T FISHING Coos County lakes/ponds: trout Bradley Lake, Saunders Lake, Powers Pond, Middle Empire Lake and Butterfield Lake were all stocked this month with fall “trophy” trout. Anglers are having the best success catching trout fishing PowerBait near the bottom. A few anglers are catching trout by casting small spinners or spoons.

Coos River Basin: Dungeness crab, bay clams, trout, salmon Trout season is open in the Coos Basin rivers until Oct. 31. The daily limit of trout in streams is two fish over 8 inches, and anglers can now use bait in all streams and rivers in the Coos Basin.

Chinook salmon fishing has slowed down but anglers continue to catch a few Chinook in the Coos River, Millicoma River and South Fork Coos River. Chinook are being caught trolling cut plug herring or spinners. Bank anglers have been catching Chinook at the mouth of Daniels Creek, Coos Bay Boardwalk and Isthmus Slough.

Coho fishing continues to be good in Coos Bay. Anglers are having the best success trolling cut plug herring or spinners from Empire Ramp to the railroad bridge on the north side of the bay. The wild coho season is open in the Coos Basin until Nov. 30. The daily bag limit for wild (unclipped) coho is one per day and two for the season.

Crabbing in Coos Bay has been good with boat crabbers picking up limits. The best crabbing has been near the jet-

ties 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. Coquille River Basin: trout, salmon, crabbing Trout season is open in the Coquille Basin rivers until Oct. 31. The daily limit of trout in streams is two fish over 8 inches, and anglers can now use bait in all streams and rivers in the Coquille Basin.

Anglers are still catching a few Chinook salmon throughout the Coquille River but the best fishing has been near the head of tide. Bank anglers have been catching Chinook salmon near Sevenmile Creek casting spinners. Coho fishing has been good from Bandon to Rocky Point Boat Ramp for anglers trolling cut plug herring or spinners. The wild coho season is open in the Coquille Basin until Nov. 30. The daily bag limit for wild (unclipped) coho is one per day and two for the season.

Crabbing from a boat has been very good in the lower Coquille estuary. Dock crabbers are also picking up a few legal-sized Dungeness crab at Weber’s Pier along the waterfront in Bandon.

Garrison Lake: rainbow trout, cutthroat Early morning or late afternoon is the most productive.

Boat anglers will want to keep an eye on the weather and fish the lake when there is no wind. Access for bank anglers is best at the 12th Street boat ramp, Arizona Street, or along the foredune accessed through Tseriadun State Park. Garrison Lake is located in the middle of Port Orford. Boat anglers are reminded to clean their boats and trailers before heading home to help control the spread of nonnative plants and animals.

Sixes River: Chinook Rains this week should bring the first good group of Chinook into the lower river.

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.

The wild coho season opened Oct. 1 in Tenmile Lakes.

The bag limit for wild coho in Tenmile Lakes is one wild coho adult per day and a total of five wild adult coho for the season in aggregate with other NW and SW zone waterbodies. Anglers are also allowed one wild coho jack per day.
