DEQ weighs next step as GSD says it can’t pay loan BY STEVE LINDSLEY The Umpqua Post

Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality has taken pause to consider a challenge from the Gardiner Sanitary District board that the district can’t pay a $215,000 “facilities planning” loan made to the district in 2009. That word came from the board to DEQ Western Regional Administrator Keith Andersen at a GSD board meeting in September. Dave Belyea is the regional environmental solutions manager for the DEQ and said they’re weighing their next step. “We will continue to communicate, and work, with the board to make payments on that loan,” Belyea said. “It was a loan so it

does need to be paid back. “Point number one. It does need to be paid back. Point number two is we’re looking to see, based on some amendments to the federal law, whether there are some abilities for us to work any kinds of nuances into the loan so that we can look at the payment period and the amount ... how the loan will be repaid.” The GSD board said the loan was made to a previous board for facilities that were never built. It appears the loan was for the district to investigate the feasibility of moving the district from the Reedsport wastewater system to a wastewater lagoon on the International Paper property north of Gardiner. That lagoon was never developed. The board told Andersen that paying back that loan will add $34 to each sewer hookup

and the community couldn’t afford that. A loan payment is already overdue. “The first payment due was on August 1,” Belyea said. “We did not receive that payment.” That payment was an interest-only payment of $11,227. A second payment is due February 1. Belyea said the DEQ does have some options if GSD doesn’t pay. “We do have some options and some requirements that are actually set in rule,” he said, “that, if Gardiner Sanitary District defaults and can’t, or refuses to pay us, that we can use. As an agency, we have not made a concrete decision what direction we will go, if that is the case.” He said he and Andersen will need to have conversations with “our financial folks, and

probably some of our leadership team, and say ‘what are we going to do if we don’t receive payment by whatever ultimate drop-dead date we set.’” Belyea says the agency was taken aback. “We have never had a community, or a sanitary district, default on a loan,” he pointed out. “So, this is new territory for us.” It was pointed out that the GSD board is a new one, after the recall of all five board members in June. The GSD board pointed out, in their comments to Andersen in September, that the DEQ made a $215,000 loan to them for a study on the IP site, but also made a $12.5 million loan to the city of Reedsport to upgrade their wastewater treatment plant, a plant that, by law, had to include the Gardiner system.

Parade could move to Sunday

Utilities reach out to customers STEVE LINDSLEY The Umpqua Post

THE UMPQUA POST Public Power Week was October 6 through 10. Presenters with Central Lincoln PUD met with customers in Florence, Newport and Reedsport. Reedsport’s day was Wednesday, Oct. 8. Wade Carey is the company’s energy services administrator. He came from Newport to answer customer questions about the company and public power. He also sat down for an interview with The Umpqua Post. He explained Public Power Week. “It’s a national week when utilities try to reach out to their customers to let them know what the difference between a public utility and an investor-owned utility,” he said. “It’s a chance to talk about anything new that we’re doing. For us, we have some new things we haven’t traditionally offered in the past.’ Some of those “new things” include online bill pay. “Where customers can sign up and look at their billing history, their (meter) reading history, make payments and things of that nature online,” he said.

Could the 2015 Memorial Day Parade in Reedsport be held on Sunday, instead of the traditional Monday? A Memorial Day organizing committee met for the first time of the season on Oct. 1 at Reedsport City Hall. Jim Wells facilitated the meeting, as he did last year. “The Monday parade was absolutely a crush on the highway department and on the people going home with their recreational vehicles,” Wells reported. “They strongly recommended that we move the parade from Monday to Sunday.” Wells said it was a “double-hit” on travelers going home. “Remember, the work on Interstate 5 was going on, too,” he explained, “and they met traffic problems here and traffic problems on I-5 and there were a lot of frustrated (drivers) and a lot of remarks to ODOT from these people.” Wells said moving the parade to Sunday still would not compete with a Coos Bay parade. “They have it on Saturday,” Wells said, “so, it still works pretty good because a lot of groups like to do both. So, they can do their Saturday and our Sunday and not have to stay an extra day and do ours on Monday.”

State Land Board meets to discuss Elliott project BY KURTIS HAIR The Umpqua Post

By Amanda Loman, The Umpqua Post

State Treasurer Ted Wheeler, right, Legislative Director, Drew Johnston, middle, State Rep. Caddy McKeown, left, and a videofeed of Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber, background, listen to comments from the public during the State Land Board Meeting concerning the Elliott State Forest Alternatives Project. Gov. Kitzhaber participated via videofeed during the meeting.

COOS BAY — Landowners, environmentalists, timber workers and elected officials voiced their concerns to the Oregon State Land Board over the ownership of the Elliott State Forest, and the majority want to keep the forest as public lands. The board met Wednesday, Oct. 8, at the Hales Performing Arts Center on the Southwestern Oregon Community College Coos Bay campus to get the public's input on the ownership and management of the Elliott State Forest Alternatives Project. The board, which consists of the governor, who was present via Skype, state treasurer and secretary of state, is in charge of managing the forest. Of the alternatives the board

has put on the table, the alternative of selling the forest was the main concern for the majority who spoke at the meeting. Selling the forest to a private owner would be possible. For three hours, about 60 people emotionally voiced their concerns over the negative impacts that could occur if the forest was sold to a private owner. Amanda St. Martin, a volunteer for the Coast Range Forest Watch, spoke at the meeting, and she said it would be a shame to see the Elliott Forest sold. “I camp, hike and swim in the Elliott regularly,” St. Martin said. “It’s my favorite place. It’s why I moved to Oregon.” Although many disagreed on how to manage the forest, the overall consensus was to keep the forest public.

Erin Grady, a Eugene resident, said she was surprised of all who were opposed to selling off the public lands. “This was a really empowering meeting,” Grady said. “It showed how many people from all across the board oppose privatization. We’ve been very afraid of privatization happening, and it was great to hear how many people don’t want to see that happen.” For State Treasurer Ted Wheeler, having a chance to hear from the public was extremely helpful, he said. “I think this is pretty much

Two in area deemed ‘model schools’ BY CHELSEA DAVIS The Umpqua Post

COOS BAY — The report cards are in, and two South Coast schools are showing rampant child poverty doesn't mean students can't succeed in school. Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction Rob Saxton released the annual report cards for Oregon's K12 public schools and districts Thursday. Bandon's Harbor Lights Middle School and North Bend's Hillcrest Elementary were two of 28 high-poverty schools to earn "model school" designation, meaning they've shown significant academic improvement despite their high poverty status. Students fall into the "economically disadvantaged" category if they qualify for free or reducedprice lunch. During the 2013-2014 school year: * 84.5 percent of Harbor Lights and 78.2 percent of Hillcrest students passed reading * 80.1 percent of Harbor Lights and 76.8 percent of Hillcrest students passed math * 85.1 percent of Harbor Lights students passed science (there wasn't information for Hillcrest) "The use of learning labs where students can get assistance with homework during the school day, as

well as having access to afterschool classes, extracurricular programs and service learning projects all help our students succeed," said Bandon schools superintendent Diane Buche. Buche said the district's small size helps students feel valued with a lot of one-on-one interaction. "Though poverty can be an issue, our staff, from the bus drivers, to the lunch ladies, to the secretaries, to the maintenance and custodial staff, to the educational assistants, to the teachers, to the administrators, work diligently to provide a positive, productive learning environment for our students," she said. “These model schools show us that all of Oregon’s schools can experience incredible success,” Saxton said in a news release. “All students can learn and achieve at high levels, despite high poverty, high student mobility, and a range of other challenges. We can learn from these schools as we continue to improve our P-20 system to increase student outcomes across the state.” Falling behind When the state identified the lowest-performing 15 percent of high-poverty schools two years ago, Reedsport's Highland Elementary made the list. The state sent more support

and intervention to these focus and priority schools to close the gap. Last school year, only a third of Highland students passed math and less than 60 percent passed reading and science. The class size debate continues as school districts try to balance classes with increasing enrollment but little room to expand.

It calls for a 100 percent high school graduation rate by 2025, with 40 percent going on to get a bachelor's degree and 40 percent getting an associate degree.

OPINION

Great Oregon News around the Hospital District Shakeout is Oct. 16 TERRY PLOTZ Emergency Preparedness Contractor

Drop! Cover! & Hold! These are your instructions for participation in this year’s Great Oregon Shakeout. So far 340,000 Oregonians are signed up to participate in the drill. At 10:16 am on 10/16 (Thursday, Oct. 16) folks all over Oregon will be taking a minute to respond as if an earthquake occurred. In most cases there will be no official signal with sirens and lights and people warning you. This is a drill to see if we are personally ready for an earthquake. Oregon experiences about 1,000 earthquakes per year, most of them too small to be felt. However, there have been damaging earthquakes and we have the Cascadia Subduction Zone just off our coast that will someday become active. We have no way to tell when an earthquake will occur and no guarantee where we will be when it happens. Taking a few minutes to practice our response or our businesses response may save lives someday. There is lots of information on the ‘Shakeout’ at www.shakeout.org/oregon. You can also get some great info from the Oregon Emergency Management Site, www.Oregon.gov/odm/oem and from the Dept. of Geology and minerals site, www.oregongeology.org. Why is it important to do a Drop, Cover, and Hold On drill? To react quickly you must practice often. You may only have seconds to protect yourself in an earthquake, before strong shaking knocks

you down - or drops something on you. Practicing helps you be ready to respond. If you are inside a building, move no more than a few steps, then Drop, Cover and Hold On: ■ DROP to the ground (before the earthquake drops you!), ■ Take COVER by getting under a sturdy desk or table, and ■ HOLD ON to it until the shaking stops. Stay indoors till the shaking stops and you are sure it is safe to exit. In most buildings in Oregon you are safer if you stay where you are until the shaking stops. If you are outdoors when the shaking starts, you should find a clear spot away from buildings, trees, streetlights, and power lines, then Drop, Cover and Hold On. Stay there until the shaking stops. If you are driving, pull over to a clear location, stop and stay there with your seatbelt fastened until the shaking stops. Once the shaking stops, proceed with caution and avoid bridges or ramps that might have been damaged. Ground shaking during an earthquake is seldom the cause of injury. Most earthquakerelated injuries and deaths are caused by collapsing walls and roofs, flying glass and falling objects. It is extremely important for a person to move as little as possible to reach the place of safety he or she has identified because most injuries occur when people try to move more than a short distance during the shaking.

LUH Retail Pharmacy Beginning Oct. 1, the retail pharmacy at Lower Umpqua Hospital is open weekends: Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. The change is hoped to help patients who visit the ER or the Walk-in Clinic on the weekend and Dunes Family Health Care patients who are seen in the clinic on Saturdays. The Pharmacy is still open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m and from 2 to 5:30 p.m. The Lower Umpqua Hospital District Retail Pharmacy teamed up with SUNrx, a national healthcare technology company, to provide eligible patients convenient access to affordable medications, helping patients get well and stay well. The government’s 340B program administered by SUNrx allows community health centers and hospitals to offer patients a wider selection of medications discounted up to 60 percent below retail. Eligible patients include those without prescription drug coverage and in certain cases where a covered patient’s plan doesn't cover a particular medication. Patients should be advised that "C-2" medications such as OxyContin, morphine, or Ritalin, etc., are

not included in this program. Reedsport Medical Clinic medical staff and THE CHANGING the LUH FACE Emergency Room physicians are currently registered with this program and Dunes OF HEALTH CARE Family Health Care medical staff should be registered by the end of 2014. After seeing a practitioner and receiving a SUNrx card from the doctor's office, patients can fill their prescriptions at participating local pharmacies.

participate in National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is the second most common kind of cancer in women. About 1 in 8 women born today in the United States will get breast cancer at some point. The good news is that many women can survive breast cancer if it’s found and treated early. ■ If you are a woman age 40 to 49, talk with your doctor about when to start getting mammograms and how often to get them. ■ If you are a woman age 50 to 74, be sure to get a mammogram every year. Talk to a doctor about your risk for breast cancer, especially if a close family member of yours has had breast or ovarian cancer. Your doctor can help you decide when and how often to get mammograms. Lower Umpqua Hospital performs mammograms on a Hologic Digital Mammography unit. This unit is inspected annually by the State of Oregon and must pass a rigorous standard from the Food and Drug Administration. Our facility is also mammography accredited with the American College of

Vote for McCollum I am writing this short note to encourage Reedsport voters to vote for Linda McCollum for mayor. I know a little bit about the job, as I served four terms as Reedsport’s mayor quite a few years ago, and Linda has what it takes. She is thoughtful, she listens, she works well with others, she has a great head on her shoulders and she’s been a great city councilor. She will serve the city well as your mayor. Give Linda McCollum your vote for mayor of Reedsport! Tom Tymchuk Former Reedsport Mayor

Vote for Boice The duty of our Douglas County residents is upon us. I can think of no better than Chris Boice for County Commissioner and here is why; Character. I have known Chris Boice since 1998 when he was in the employ of Big-O Tires. I came to trust Chris with things mechanical and just a couple of years later that trust expanded into our friendship. Over the years, Chris has constantly displayed a certain path by which he walks. I can tell you that the man on the outside is the same man on the inside. Chris has a moral compass deep inside that guides him. Character, it is said, is not what a person does in front of others, but rather how a person conducts himself in the absence of others. Chris is gifted with wisdom and discipline in business and life and I trust he will work hard to solve Douglas County's fiscal issues and offer proven methods to prosperity. Please join me with your vote for Chris Boice for County Commissioner. Christopher Noel Roseburg

turns, shelters will start opening. Traditionally, several local churches have stood up and volunteered their facilities to house the homeless on nights where they might otherwise be at the mercy of the elements. The churches are always in need of volunteers to staff the shelters, and donations of food, clothing and necessities for their guests. If you have information about a program in Douglas County that helps the homeless and, by extension, helps homeless veterans, please drop me a line. I appreciate the work you do to help others in need. God bless our veterans and God bless America. Have information to share with Douglas County veterans?

LOCAL PARADE

UTILITIES “We try to set our rates such that we cover our fixed operating costs, as well as collect enough revenue to plan for the future.” Central Lincoln gets its electricity from the Bonneville Power Administration. “We have no generation of our own,” he said, “aside from a few small, renewable sources that customers may have.” Carey said he didn’t see Central Lincoln to own a windfarm, or a stake in a windfarm. “We would need to be a situation where we need to buy a power resource that is above and beyond what we can buy from Bonneville Power at, what we call, a Tier One rate, which is a preferred rate,” he said. “Once our load exceeds that amount that we’re allowed to buy from them ... then we’re responsible for meeting that. We can either buy that from Bonneville for a higher price because they’re going to have to go out and buy it from the open market or we can invest in generation or buy it on the open market ourselves.”

The biggest problem with wind on the coast, he says, is large windmills do best with a low, sustained wind. “Fifteen to 20-miles-anhour,” Carey said. “Most turbines have safety features that when the gusts get above, say, 40-miles-anhour they shut off.” Carey said the company does have incentives for local residents to install “micro-hydro,” solar generation and thermal and wind projects. “It’s hard to make those projects pencil out with anything less than a 20-year payback,” he said. Carey said the Central Lincoln power system, actually, works pretty well. “Our system, here, is designed for a much higher wind load than other parts of the country,” he said. “They system, itself, can withstand a strong storm. We have a very active treetrimming program. Trees are the number one cause of outages for our customers. By investing in full-time tree-trimming crews we’re able to stave off a lot of those outages.”

public forum,” Wheeler said. A final report will be presented to the board Dec. 9 in Salem at its regular meeting.

More information is available at the Elliott State Forest Alternatives Project website.

FROM PAGE 1 explained. “It’s one of things that was spawned from the installation of the new metering system that we installed a couple of years ago. My Meter allows customers to log into a secure website and view their account’s electrical consumption on a monthly, daily, hourly basis.” The difference between a public an private utility? “An ‘investor-owned’ utility would be private,” he said. “Their sole job, aside from the basis of selling power ... they’re selling power to make a profit. They’re just like any other corporation selling something. They want to sell electricity or ... sell something to make a profit for their shareholders. “Public utilities are different, in that we’re not in this for a profit,” Carey said. “At least on the PUD level, which is people’s utility district, we’re governed by a elected board. (They) create our policies and our rules. They also set rates.” He said rates, for the most part are relatively low. “We’re here, solely, to provide our customers with a low cost, reliable power source,” Carey concluded.

BOARD FROM PAGE 1 typifies of what I would expect from a really solid

FROM PAGE 1 The parade didn’t happen in 2013, except in an unofficial capacity with some local car clubs, but the committee and veterans groups, the Gardiner Reedsport Lions Club and other community members decided to meet to bring back the Highway 101 parade for 2014. The 2014 event also included a veteran’s dinner, a patriotic concert and memorial services at the local cemetery and at the war memorial at Hahn Park in downtown Reedsport. The group also talked about the budget. Wells distributed a budget sheet showing total income for the 2014 event at $4,337, including a $1,000 donation from veteran Robert Bozman and a $1,000 donation from the Reedsport/Winchester Bay Chamber of Commerce. Expenses, including

$1,000 payments for banners, $400 for posters, flyers and programs and $400 for a band, totaled $1,632.60, Other expenses include the rental of Pacific Auditorium for a patriotic concert, pinwheels, candy and necklaces. Expenses did not reflect any payment to the Oregon Department of Transportation, which had been a consideration before the 2014 parade. The banners will be reused this year, although some members of the organizing committee thought they needed to be repainted. The committee talked about trying to get a group, such as the Oregon Army National Guard Band to Reedsport. That’s a big undertaking, said Wells. “What they want is to send someone down here to do the parade rate route,” he said. “It would be their meals,

an overnight stay to scout it out. And, then, they want to bring the band down, which is about 50 people. They want meals and overnight for them, too. We’re right back up to about $2,500 to 3,000.” Wells said they’re getting a early start to have a better chance of getting more groups to participate in Memorial Day activities the weekend of May 23 to 25. “That’s whey we need this early start,” Wells said, “to try to get more ... we wanted more music in the parade ... and that’s what we have to look at.” Other possibilities discussed were a logger’s band and the Southwestern Oregon Community College community band. The next organizational meeting will be Wednesday, Nov. 5 at noon in city council chambers at city hall.

have the authority to turn them down, based on the criteria you outlined.” Belyea pointed out it was a planning loan. “A plan to get information,” he said. That money, he said, generated a report on the IP facilities. It’s not believed that, if the district defaults on the DEQ loan, it would affect two Infrastructure Finance Authority grants, totaling $2.5 million, that would upgrade the Gardiner system

and replace a faulty pipe at the bottom of the Umpqua River. One of those grants is a Community Development Block Grant. “I don’t know if a default status on a previous loan would affect getting that grant, or their eligibility for that grant,” Belyea said. “My understanding of the status, as it stands today, is the Gardiner Sanitary District is proceeding with the project, using the money from the Community Development Block Grant.”

GSD FROM PAGE 1 “That’s a good and valid question,” Belyea said. “I think they probably need to put themselves in the place of that board, or in our shoes, at that time. I don’t know that anybody could foretell that all this was going to come down as it has. For us to deny, at the time, the Gardiner Sanitary District a loan just because we thought it was a bad idea ... I don’t know that would have gone over well, either. I don’t know that we

Members of the Gardiner-Reedsport-Winchester Bay STEP chapter capture salmon from their trap to be used in the program. Bill Taylor and Dave Teachout man the trap, while Jim Edd waits to receive a netted fish to move up to a transportation trailer. The trailers can handle about eight fish at a time. The fish are transported to the STEP facility just north of Reedsport.

Braves face big match in Myrtle Point this week THE UMPQUA POST Reedsport’s volleyball team continues to improve, with a big chance to measure its progress coming up Thursday. The Braves travel to leagueleading Myrtle Point, hoping to spoil the Bobcats’ plans for the outright league title. “I think we have improved since we played them last time, but I’m sure they have, too,” Reedsport coach James Hixenbaugh said. The Braves stand in second

place behind Myrtle Point, with just the one league loss to the Bobcats. Following that loss and a big win at Bandon, Reedsport’s next three matches came against the league’s bottom teams. The Braves swept Toledo and Waldport last week and played Gold Beach on Tuesday (results weren’t available by press time). “It’s hard to gauge where you’re at,” Hixenbaugh said of playing the league’s bottom teams. The Braves beat Toledo 25-8, 25-9, 25-15. Emily Lichte had seven aces and three kills, Julia Analco

had five aces and four kills, Alyssa Aguirre had five digs and Kaylynn Hixenbaugh had six aces. The scores were similarly onesided against Waldport, with Reedsport winning 25-15, 25-9, 258. Aguirre had nine aces and two back-row kills, Hixenbaugh had nine aces and 13 assists and Bailey LaRouche had four assists, two kills and two digs. “Against Waldport, we had kids playing different positions, we got to see certain things outside of practice,” James Hixenbaugh said. One thing he’s hoping to see is

more development out of the younger players. LaRouche, a sophomore, is starting to improve while playing on the right side, a key position both in offense and defense, and one Hixenbaugh has tried several players at. “Hopefully she can step up and take it over,” he said. Freshman Heather Wilkes also has been playing well recently, Hixenbaugh said. Even with a loss Thursday, the Braves could advance to the Class 2A playoffs, though they would

need to survive the league playoffs. With a relatively low power ranking (No. 24), Reedsport likely would be on the road against one of the top teams in the first round of the playoffs. “My realistic goal is to make it to the state playoffs,” Hixenbaugh said, adding that the Braves would have to pull off an upset to reach the state tournament again. “I feel sorry for the older kids, but they’ve been there before,” he said. “The goal is to get them there so (the younger players) want to get back next year.”

Reedsport’s Tyreece Gardner goes for a loose ball during their recent game against Santiam.

Reedsport must win out in football THE UMPQUA POST Two games into the Sunset Conference football season, Reedsport’s back is up against the wall. The Braves lost 30-6 to Gold Beach on Friday to fall to 0-2 in league play and now need to win their final three games, starting Friday at Waldport, to return to the Class 2A playoffs. “It makes it simple,” coach Shane Nelson said. “We keep playing and control what we can control. That’s it. “We all feel confident that we are a good team and have a good shot at competing the rest of the year.” The Braves didn’t lose any of their confidence Friday night, though they felt like they missed a big chance. “Once again, this was a game of missed opportunity for us,” Nelson said. “Gold Beach gave us several chances to take control of the game, or at least gain huge momentum, and once again we failed to capitalize time and time again.” The Panthers scored on their first possession and the Braves responded with their only score of the night, a 7yard pass from Tyler Tresch to Cameron Winfield. Reedsport missed the conversion, and the score was 8-6 Gold Beach late

into the third quarter. “It was here that we blew our opportunity,” Nelson said. “At halftime, we felt good about what we had done and we knew that we had to take advantage.” Reedsport drove into Gold Beach territory and had first-and-goal, but failed to convert. After a fumble by the Panthers, the Braves were in first-andgoal position again, but Gold Beach intercepted a pass on a tipped ball. The Panthers converted a thirddown play into an 86-yard touchdown and that turned the game. “This kind of killed our momentum and we had basically lost our opportunity to take control,” Nelson said. “Their veer once again finally wore us down in the fourth quarter.” Though the Braves lost, the positives from the game were “huge,” he said. “For the first time in years, we actually played Gold Beach tough and for the better part of the night, the game was in doubt,” he said. “It wasn’t until the fourth quarter that they gained a two-possession lead and we faded.” In addition, Tresch turned a corner at quarterback, Nelson said. “He missed some throws and should have thrown the ball away a few times instead of getting sacked, but on the other hand he did a great job of

finding open receivers, making his reads, making plays and just running the offense correctly,” Nelson said. “Without the passing game, we would have not had a chance. “The Panthers dominated us up front as is normal, so we had to be balanced to have a chance.” That was a big sign for the Braves. “We now have the makings of a balanced offense that could be deadly if we can progress a little more,” Nelson said. “It’s taken much longer than I expected, but the potential is still there and it’s still huge.” Reedsport finished Friday’s game with 96 passing yards and 83 running yards. Joey Herr rushed for a teambest 53 yards. Winfield and Joe Hixenbaugh had four catches each, for a combined 74 yards. On defense, Hixenbaugh, Griffin Kaufmann and Wayde Doane all recovered fumbles. Winfield and Kaufmann had 12 tackles each and Egan Glover added nine. Reedsport should be able to bounce back well against Waldport, which is winless on the season. The Braves then finish the season with a home game against Bandon and a game at Myrtle Point. “This team loves to practice and

We can use some rain to help coho get into lakes Ocean crabbing ceased being legal at midnight on Oct. 15, but remains legal the entire year in the tidewater portions of Oregon’s coastal rivers. On the Umpqua River, legal crab are being caught as far upstream as Marker 12, but most boat crabbers are dropping their gear in Half Moon Bay. Salmon fishing pressure has dropped off at Winchester Bay now that the Umpqua River’s quota of unclipped coho salmon has been reached. Some salmon anglers have simply quit fishing, while others have switched to rivers that don’t have quotas on wild or unclipped coho — like the Coos, Coquille and Siuslaw rivers. The bobber and bait fishery near the mouth of Winchester Creek seems to be getting a little better each day. Almost all the fish taken are hatchery Chinook and we all should thank our Gardiner-ReedsportWinchester Bay STEP chapter for establishing and maintaining this fishery. Unless we receive a lot of rain rather quickly, it appears that almost all the coho

During October, the smaller crappie move into Streeters and other canals by the tens of thousands and they bite aggressively. Roger Luce, a one-time bass fishing guide on Silver Lake caught 800 crappie in a single day last week (that is a crappie per minute for more than 13 hours) He was using two small jigs fished a couple of feet beneath a small bobber. Only 10 of the 800 crappie were big enough legally to keep. While Silver Lake has produced crappies to 16-inches 1 and 2 ⁄2 pounds, the movement of the lake’s smaller crappie into Streeters Canal each fall is a much anticipated event. Several Coos County lakes were stocked last week with 16-inch rainbows and fishing has been good. Saunders Lake and Powers Pond each received 1,500 of the big rainbows. Empire Lakes was slated to receive 4,000 trophy trout, but one of the lakes was so low that it wasn’t stocked. Bradley Lake received a thousand trophy rainbows two weeks ago and is slated to receive 800 more the last week in October.
