New show opens at playhouse COOS BAY — The Dolphin Players present: “Twentieth Century,” a play by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur based on the unproduced play “Napoleon of Broadway”

by Charles B. Millholland, inspired by his experience working for the eccentric Broadway impresario David Belasco.

The Hecht-MacArthur comedy is set in the observation car of the 20th Century Limited, traveling from Chicago to New York’s Grand Central Terminal. Aboard the luxury train are egomaniacal theater producer Oscar Jaffe, desperately in need of a hit, and his former paramour and protégé, temperamental actress Lily Garland (born Mildred Plotka), who abandoned him for a Hollywood career. Oscar is determined to sign her for his new

show, and Lily is just as determined to ignore his advances, both professional and personal.

Jim Thornton guest directs the cast of George Nixon, Bobbi Wilson, Levi Goodman, Joe Vos, Bill Maquire, Candice Presnell, Doc Faulkenberg, Bob Jungbluth and Caleb Noggle.

Sea Cadets to hold training NORTH BEND — The U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps will be holding a training weekend for youngsters this Saturday.

The Cadets will hold a demonstration at North Bend Coast Guard Station Rec Hall and will start at 9 a.m.

There will be a North Bend police car and a K-9 unit.

They also expect to demonstrate a full felony stop and have a K-9 wrestle someone down to the floor.

The Sea Cadets are essentially Boy Scouts for the Navy. The primary difference is Cadets will get high School credit for graduation.

The event is meant to drive interest to the Sea Cadet program.

A few weeks back, they only had five kids enrolled.

After Saturday, they hope to have that number to climb around 30.

“We’re trying t do two things, Officer and Instructor Anthony Pasqualetti said. “For kids to be aware that there is a program and get parents to learn about it if they didn’t even know it existed.”

Whale watch training planned Oregon State Parks are looking for volunteers to help out with whale watching.

Whale Watching Spoken Here, a program from the parks, is reaching out to be a volunteer in one of 24 whale watching sites along the coast. The job will primarily fall in the winter and spring watch weeks when the migration of gray whales up to Alaska hit its peak in Oregon.

One of the biggest names in the whale watching community, Dr. Bruce Mate, will speak at the training event Nov. 30 at Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport.

The volunteers who finish the one-day training will be allowed to pick the site they’d like to assist whale watchers.

Whale watching season are set for two weeks, Dec. 26-31, 2013 and March 22-29, 2014.

For more information, visit www.whalespoken.org or call 541-765-3304.

High toxin levels have been found at Tenmile Lakes According to a press release from Oregon Public Health, a health advisory is being issued today due to high levels of a blue-green algae toxin in Tenmile Lakes, located eight miles south of Reedsport off U.S. 101 in Coos County.

Water monitoring has confirmed the presence of cyanotoxin from blue-green algae above guideline values. The cyanotoxin concentration found can be harmful to humans and animals.

Swallowing or inhaling water droplets, as well as skin contact with water, should be avoided. Drinking water directly from Tenmile Lakes is especially dangerous.

Oregon Public Health officials advise campers and other recreational visitors that toxins cannot be removed by boiling, filtering or treating the water with campingstyle filters.

RECREATION R E P O R T

Weekend fishing opportunities: • Chinook and coho fishing has been good on the lower Rogue River lately.

• Many lakes in the Rogue watershed are freshly stocked with rainbow trout and waiting for anglers. Lost Creek Reservoir is a fall and winter trout fishing hot spot, although a harmful algae bloom advisory remains in place.

• Plenty of reports of coho being caught on the Coos and Coquille rivers.

• Yellow perch fishing continues to be very good on Tenmile Lakes.

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 earlier this month with the fall (trophy) size trout. Bradley Lake and Powers Pond were not stocked.

Trout anglers in Empire Lakes are having the best success fishing from a small boat or float tube in the middle of the lakes. Bank anglers are still catching a few trout using worms or PowerBait.

Coos River Basin

basins (not including the ocean season).

Elk River A few Chinook have moved into the Elk, but good numbers won’t show up until late October. Usually the best fishing early in the season is at the mouth of Elk River. Access to the mouth of the river is through Cape Blanco State Park.

Check river conditions by calling 541-332-0405.

Floras Lake The lake is best fished from a boat, as there is limited bank angling. The lake can be very windy, so anglers will want to check the weather prior to heading out.

Boat anglers are reminded to clean all aquatic vegetation off their boats and trailers before heading home to help control the spread of non-native plants and animals.

Illinois River The Illinois River below Pomeroy Dam near Cave Junction is open for trout fishing. This is primarily a catch and release fishery on wild trout. All non-adipose fin-clipped rainbow trout and all cutthroat trout must be released unharmed.

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.

Lake Marie Even though the peak of the Chinook fishing is over within Coos Bay, anglers are still catching bright Chinook The lake was stocked with about 4,500 trout this year. Most anglers in the upper part of the bay. Boat anglers are having the best use PowerBait or worms. success in Coos River while bank anglers are doing well at Loon Lake the city boardwalk, Daniels Creek, and in upper Isthmus Slough. The wild coho season is open in the Coos Basin Loon Lake has been stocked with over 8,000 trout. The lake is also providuntil Nov. 30. Coho fishing has been very good in the lower ing good fishing for crappie, bluegill and bass. The BLM boat ramp is closed for the bay near the Empire boat ramp. A good way to catch coho is to cast season, but the Loon Lake Resort ramp will remain open until Nov. 1. or troll spinners, especially pink in color. 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).

Crabbing in Coos Bay has been slow. Crabbers from a boat can pick up several legal-size crab, but will have to work hard for them. 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 crab 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 crab 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 Agriculture website for any updates http://oregon.gov/ODA/FSD/shellfish_status.shtml

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 and wild coho salmon have also spread throughout the tidewater sections of the Coquille River. Anglers are reporting catching wild coho on the lower Coquille River over the past week. 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

Eye color is a key feature to distinguish the northern alligator lizard (Elgaria coerulea) from its cousin, the southern alligator lizard (Elgaria multicarinata). While the northern and southern alligator lizards are easier to tell apart when they’re adults, the eye color distinction holds true during their entire lives: the southern alligator lizards have yellowish eyes and the northern alligator lizards have brown eyes.

This person’s backyard resident was a young browneyed northern alligator lizard. Inland Coos County is believed to be about the northern limit on the coast for the southern alligator lizard; the northern alligator lizard is found throughout western Oregon and Washington, including the coast.

We’ve found both juvenile and adult alligator lizards at our Coos Bay home in Octobers past. As the days get cooler, many animals — including lizards — may appear in or near our homes, seeking warmer shelter.

Keep an eye out for your smaller neighbors as they seek cozier digs for the oncoming winter!

TOXIN Continued from Page 6 water directly from Tenmile Lakes are advised to use an alternative water source because private treatment systems are not proven effective at removing algae toxins.

However, public drinking water systems can reduce algae toxins through proper filtration and disinfection.

If people on public water systems have questions about treatment and testing, they should contact their water supplier.

Oregon health officials recommend that people who choose to eat fish from waters where algae blooms are present remove all fat, skin and organs before cooking, because toxins are more likely to collect in these tissues.

Public health officials also advise that people not eat freshwater clams or mussels from Tenmile Lakes.

Crayfish muscle can be eaten, but internal organs and liquid fat should be discarded.

Exposure to toxins can produce symptoms of numbness, tingling and dizziness that can lead to difficulty breathing or heart problems, and require immediate medical attention. Symptoms of skin irritation, weakness, diarrhea, nausea, cramps and fainting should also receive medical attention if they persist or worsen.

Children and pets are at increased risk for exposure because of their size and level of activity.

The public will be advised when the concern no longer exists.

For local information about water quality or bluegreen algae sampling, contact the Tenmile Lakes Basin Partnership at 541-759-2414 and the Coos County Health Department at 541-756-2020.
