McCollum files papers to be new mayor Reedsport will have a new mayor and a new city councilor after the Nov. 4 general election. Councilor Linda McCollum is the only person to file for mayor by the Thursday deadline. Councilor Kathi Wall-Meyer has decided against running for a second term. Eddie R. O’Carroll and Rich Patten have filed to run for WallMeyer’s Position 5 seat. Diane K. Essig is unopposed for another term in the Position 4 seat, while Debby Turner is running unopposed in the Position 6 seat, to which she was appointed in July 2013. McCollum, who has been on
the council for only half a term, said she’s up to it. “I’m looking forward to it,” she said. “I think it’s going to be a challenge. “When I was getting my petition signed a lot of people said, ‘Well, you know we need a change.’ I don’t Linda McCollum know that, with me as mayor, it would be that big of a change, but there will be a different outlook on things. I’m hoping to enjoy it and achieve our goals. I have no doubt
the City Council will keep working together, as we have been.” McCollum said she has lived in Reedsport for 20 years and is retired as a personnel manager for Sears. She said she was surprised Keith Tymchuk decided against a seventh term as mayor. “I know he likes doing it,” she said. “He enjoys the job. But, I can understand you have other responsibilities. I was surprised that he wasn’t running.” Tymchuk endorsed McCollum in his letter to The Umpqua Post saying he would not run for reelection.
“Councilor McCollum will be a fine mayor for Reedsport,” Tymchuk wrote in Aug.17 letter. “ I believe she will continue with the good work we have long done. She deserves your vote.” McCollum doesn’t expect the city will lose Tymchuk’s expertise and influence in regional issues and economic development. He also remains a commission for the Port of Umpqua. “Keith had the background to do all that,” she said, “and knows so many people. I think we can count on him to keep helping with this. He’s not going to leave us. He’s still going to be here and I
don’t think he can hold himself back from being involved. He cares about what happens and he’ll stay involved.” McCollum said there have been challenges in the past two years and expects more in the next two years. That didn’t dissuade her from running for the city’s top post. “It really didn’t,” she said. “It’s actually a challenge. I think that we work together. The council that we have works very well together. I can’t see that being any different. We’re all passionate about this.

The winner of this year’s Kool Coastal Nights “Best of Show” winner is Rocky Wagner from Reno for his 1940 Willys coupe. Local owners Bob del Re won “Ladies Choice,” Gary Buehler won “1960’s Modified Car” and John Hedges won “Best Foreign Car.”
Oh, so Kool Car show highlights summer event THE UMPQUA POST It was a steady stream of onlookers that came to Winchester Bay over the weekend for a sunny edition of Kool Coastal Nights. The two-day event featured the return of “burnouts” at a specially built lane at the end of Ork Rock Road, classic music, food, vendors and, of course, hundreds of classic cars. Those who brought cars were impressed with crowds and the crowds were impressed with the cars. Ed Hill, of Walterville brought his black 1965 Mustang fastback to the show. “I’ve owned it since ’76,” he said. “I restored it in ’05.” He bought the car and said he’s done a total restoration on it. He enjoys shows like Kool Coastal Nights. “It’s just fun in the sun,” he laughed. He said he likes the people who show up, the cleanliness of the venue and says it’s a great place to come. “Cool,” he said.
Hill has no plans to sell his car. Another car was for sale. Brian Leach, from Camas, Wash. brought a ’41 Willys. He loves to talk specs. “It’s got a blown 598 Dart with 871 BDS fuel injection all-electronic fuel injection,” He rattled off. “Four-wheel disc brakes, Spinneybeck Italian leather interior, all after-market tube frame. It’s all airbagged, so it’s got a self-leveling airbag system on it. The chassis is rated for an eight-second car for the quarter mile. I’ve never run it on the track.” He said he bought the car out of Oklahoma and did a lot of changes. “It’s a lot of fun,” he said. Leach said he’s heard about Kool Coastal Nights for years and decided this was the year to come. Dwayne Rollings, from Sacramento, brought his 1928 AA longbed, a very rare truck. “It has a little 4.3, fuel-injected V-6,” he said. He said he takes the classic to car shows all over the country.

Kathi Wall-Meyer talks with a customer at the downtown Reedsport Farmers Market. Wall-Meyer has decided not to run for another term on the City Council and, instead, focus on the market.

Fisheries drive the coastal economy BY STEVE LINDSLEY The Umpqua Post
The state’s wildlife chief says fisheries are one of the top economic drivers on the Oregon Coast. “One of the most key things that make the Oregon coast the Oregon coast are fisheries,” Roy Elicker, director of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife told a group gathered for an economic conference in Florence last week. “The ocean fishery and recreational fishery both ... you can look at them individually and together. In the coastal counties up
to 20 percent of the total net earnings in those counties come from fisheries ... commercial fisheries, in particular.” Elicker made his remarks during the Oregon Coast Economic Summit Wednesday and Thursday at the Three Rivers Casino Event Center in Florence. U.S. Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden participated in panel discussions, and members of Congress Peter DeFazio, Kurt Schrader and Suzanne Bonamici spoke both days. During a panel discussion called “Ocean and Natural Resource Policy Implementation:

“I don’t think it’ll change it much,” she said, “because the people on the council get along really well and the people that I know that are running are going to blend right into that. I think it’s going to go pretty smoothly.” She is also confident that Linda McCollum will make a good mayor. “Linda’s really smart,” WallMeyer said. “She’s easy to get along with and she’s really dedicated. I don’t think it’s going to affect (the city) negatively at all. I think it’ll just be a little different.” She was asked if she might have considered running for mayor if she knew that Keith Tymchuk would not run for a seventh term. “No,” she said. “We talked about it, before. Two years ago when he ran again I was a little concerned about ... if he didn’t step forward and run again ... if someone else would run.

Fire danger levels enact restrictions CORVALLIS — Restrictions on campfires, fires and stove fires began on Siuslaw National Forest on Thursday, Aug. 21, due to high fire danger levels. “Historically, this is different from normal years because of the extended hot dry weather,” stated Dan Eddy, fire management officer for iuslaw National Forest in a news release. “For public safety and to protect forest health, temporary fire restrictions are necessary.” Forest officials are asking that visitors be fire safe when visiting the national forest. Currently, the forest has temporary public fire
restrictions in place, which include: No building, maintaining, attending or using a campfire, fire, or stove fire when not in a preinstalled fire enclosure (i.e. campfire ring) at a maintained Forest Service site. Campfires are allowed at a dispersed recreation area of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area or the Sand Lake Recreation Area. All other dispersed campsites have a fire restriction. Smoking is allowed only in a vehicle or a cleared area that is at least 4 square feet wide. Visitors can only burn
School district sets next years goals The Reedsport school board continued to develop goals for the 2014-2015 school year with interim Superintendent Dennis Friedrich. The board held two work sessions, including one just before the board meeting Aug. 19. Three goals were at the top of the list. Goal 1 was to establish a “culture of respect and trust for all stakeholders.” That would include accolades for performance, establishing clear protocols on how the board and superintendent work together and establishing “clear effective communications.” Goal 2 was to engage
‘learning for all students. Action steps include building a belief that all students and be successful, ensuring that instruction is relevant working to “build and ensure positive relationships.” Goal 3 was “high expectations and accountability.” That includes holding students accountable for their behaviors, “not necessarily in a punitive manner.” Staff will ensure accurate academic “alignment and establish clear objectives.” Other goals were discussed from a template used by the Palo Alto Unified School District. Those goals included governing in a dignified and

materials that fit within a campfire ring. All campfires must be extinguished before leaving a site — even if for a only a short time. Liquid gas stoves and lanterns that use a wick to distribute flame can be used during this restriction.

professional manner and treating everyone with civility, dignity and respect while honoring the right to disagree with each other. Another strong topic was communicating the common vision and annual, measurable goals. One board member suggested a goal of recognizing the “individual role of constituents and special interest groups, while understanding the importance of using one’s best judgment to represent all members of the community. Friedrich repeated his call of “no surprises,” when it came to communication between the board and administration.
By Steve Lindsley, The Umpqua Post
The Reedsport City Council has agreed to negotiate with the Reedsport/Winchester Bay Chamber of Commerce and the Oregon Department of Transportation to allow some chainsaw carvings to remain in the downtown area. Reedsport is the “Chainsaw Carving Capital of Oregon.” A celebration takes place each year during Father’s Day weekend.
DCSO to conduct DUII enforcement Drivers are reminded that Douglas County sheriff’s deputies are conducting a traffic safety campaign, focusing on DUII enforcement for Labor Day. That enforcement effort means the Sheriff’s Office will increase traffic patrols through Sept. 2. The effort combines the Sheriff’s Office and the Oregon Department of Transportation. It encourages all drivers to celebrate
the holidays safely. A Sheriff’s Office news release states that even one drink can impair judgment and increase the risk of getting arrested for driving drunk. Worse, they say, there’s the risk of having a crash while driving. If people will be drinking, they should not plan on driving. Plan ahead. Designate a sober driver before the party begins. Don’t drive after drink-
ing. Call a taxi, phone a sober friend or family member or use public transportation. If people know someone is drinking, they should not let that person get behind the wheel. If motorists see an impaired driver on the road, they contact law enforcement. ODOT and the Sheriff’s Office have a reminder: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.

OPINION
Alternatives in the works for Elliott State Forest The Elliott State Forest was the first of its kind, established in 1930 and named for Francis Elliott, Oregon’s first state forester, who consolidated scatTHE COUNTY tered school trust SCENE lands into one large block of land. Located in the Coast Range between Coos Bay and Reedsport, the Elliott State Forest covers about 92,000 acres. Susan Morgan Over 90 percent of it, Douglas County about 84,000 acres, is Commissioner called Common School Forest Land. Money made from timber sales on the forest is supposed to help pay for Oregon’s K-12 schools. Managing this land is the responsibility of the Oregon State Land Board, made up of the governor, secretary of state and state treasurer. The Land Board tells the Oregon Department of State Lands how to manage the lands. DSL contracts with the Oregon
Department of Forestry to do the onthe-ground management. ODF and DSL jointly approve an operations plan for the Elliott. The plan includes managing timber harvests, roads, vegetation, species protection, replanting, wildlife surveying and recreation. In recent years, timber harvests have been greatly reduced due to the protection of threatened and endangered species, lawsuits or threats of lawsuits. For some time now, the Elliott has been operating at a loss because the cost of management is greater than the income generated by timber harvesting. In 2013, loss from the Elliott was $3 million, and deficits are projected to continue. Draining money from the Common School Fund to maintain an asset violates the trust responsibilities of the State Land Board. In May of 2014, the Department of State Lands initiated the Elliott State Forest Alternatives Project to develop a range of alternatives for future ownership and management that will satisfy those trust responsibilities. As you
know, a small part of the forest was recently sold by auction to establish a current market value, information that will be useful in analyzing trust responsibility relative to the alternatives developed by the project. There is a broad array of preliminary management concepts that will be discussed in the coming months as a series of meetings and work sessions take place. The final report and findings will be presented to the Land Board in December of this year. For more information on the issues and to view the preliminary management concepts, go to http://www.oregon.gov/dsl/LW/Pages /Elliott-State-Forest-AlternativesProject.aspx. I will keep you posted. Susan always welcome your questions or comments. Please contact her by email at morgan@co.douglas.or.us; by mail at Douglas County Courthouse, Room 217, 1036 SE Douglas, Roseburg, OR 97470; or by phone at 541-4404201.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Glad to see improvements in downtown Reedsport What a pleasure it is to drive on Fir Avenue in downtown Reedsport these days. Visiting family members from Chicago exclaimed: “Wow! Downtown Reedsport is really looking up — things must be going well!” Many thanks to those who have had the vision and put in the work to make this happen. Despite empty storefronts, beauty and interest have been created by the lovely hanging baskets, the chainsaw creations and the flower planters — altogether a visual treat for us and visitors alike.

Support Gary Leif for county commissioner Gary Leif tops the field of candidates for Douglas County Commissioner. His proven leadership has been the defining point for success on many of the boards and commissions and community projects that he has served on over the last 30 years. He is a successful business owner for 38 years and strives for his customers to have full satisfaction and excels at customer service. He understands the need for adjustments during a declining economy and has proven that he
can handle that type of situation. He has a can do / will do attitude, and does not believe in passing the buck. He will bring this positive attitude to the leadership position of county commissioner. This will certainly be a breath of fresh air after this long period of stagnation Douglas County has experienced. His relentless efforts of community volunteer work and support for community organizations is unparalleled. He is not a career politician and will not become one. An important factor to remember in this race is this term for commissioner will only be for two years. Gary has the knowledge and experience to take office running without the need to waste time in a learning curve. Most of the other candidates will just be getting up to speed by the time they have to start campaigning for the next term. To learn more about Gary’s accomplishments and experience, review his website at http://leif4commissioner.com or www.facebook.com/leif4commissioner. Larry Saccato Roseburg
More support for Gary Leif I have known Gary Leif since high school. When I heard he was running for county commissioner, my first
thought was what a great public servant he will make. Gary is a successful self-made man who has built his business based on his talent, hard work and can-do attitude. The photos he displays in his studio reflect much about Gary and his attitude toward life. Pictures, families, veterans, couples, graduates and our scenic county dominate the walls. They are the subjects that Gary seems to be drawn to and he captures those images so that they might be shared with others. Gary has amassed an impressive list of public service and volunteer work for the community. On many of the committees he has serve on his leadership qualities were recognized and resulted in him being elected or appointed chairman. It is that commitment to community that sets Gary apart from the other candidates. Perhaps his credo was best summed by his own words, he said “When someone steps in a country office they should be asked what we do to help you rather than what do you want.” That subtle differences speaks volumes on who should be the next commissioner. Please join me in voting for Gary Leif as your next county commissioner. You won’t be disappointed. Carleen Gerlt Roseburg

Helen Lewis, RN. She died at Lower Umpqua Hospital at age 94. When we first came there was a lot of talk of a hospital being established in the big Hogan [Reed] house on Schofield Drive but it never materialized. The first board of directors was appointed in 1957: Emma Hedden from a pioneer family in Scottsburg; Stillman [Stint] Wessela, a local merchant; Ralph Wagner, lumber inspector; Berge Borrevik, oil service; and Leonard Tolman, motel proprietor. Progression was steady and vigorous from then on. The hospital district boundaries went to Elkton, Lane County Line and Lakeside. Communities included Reedsport, Gardiner, Scottsburg, Winchester Bay and Lakeside. The first site at Scott Terrace was engineered and disqualified due to unstable blue clay. Then they were able to acquire property at the present hospital location. Funding was obtained through the Hill-Burton Act to help small communities. The total cost including a grant from International Paper and a bond issue was $850,000, a fraction of the cost of annual operation. The original structure was in the shape of a Maltese cross with a solarium on the east and west corners. The very small laboratory was in the center of the building. It was sweltering hot all the time because it was directly above the boiler. The full basement was heavy concrete. Only about half was used kitchen, laundry, mechanical, boiler and some phone equipment. The back was a
dark, spooky space that seemed useless at the time but now has every cubic inch utilized. Dudley Ross was the first administrator. He was an affable fellow with an RN wife who was a spitfire and an excellent nurse. He planned the staff organization and selected equipment over a couple of years. He hired the personnel from all over the nation who had never worked together before. They were soon engaged in a power struggle to gain dominance. It was a pretty bad scene. Mr. Ross did what he had to do — he fired those who couldn’t or wouldn’t adapt and cooperate. Then at the end of six months of operation he stepped down and Edel Bryant from Roseburg was hired. He stayed only about a year, succeeded by Bob Strowbridge an accountant from the Gardiner LongBell Mill. Bob had a talent for organization, leadership and fair dealing. He attended many meetings on hospital management. After five years he arranged for the first major upgrade of the facility. Then he got a more attractive offer to manage the Ashland Hospital from which he much later retired.
The first upgrade The structure was extended from the present front entrance to accommodate the big lab, a greatly enlarged and betterequipped emergency room and space for some administrative offices. The lower floor was left undeveloped for future expansion. Republished with Dr. McLean’s permission. Continued next week.
Merkley helped secure federal dredging monies Submitted story
FLORENCE — Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley spoke at the Oregon Coast Economic Summit on Wednesday, highlighting his work for Oregon’s coastal communities and promising to keep pushing to maximize funds for small port dredging, a major driver of local coastal economies and an important source of jobs. Merkley also received recognition from the Oregon Legislative Coastal Caucus for his previous work to secure funding for small ports, both in Oregon and across America. “Our coastal communities rely on critical infrastructure that has to be maintained, which is why I am fighting so hard for Harbor Maintenance Funds for our small ports,” Merkley said. “Strong coastal economies are essential for good-paying familywage jobs. I'll keep working in partnership with our coastal leaders on the many important issues for our coastal communities.” State Sen. Arnie Roblan (D-Coos Bay), who hosted the event, asked Sen. Merkley how he had pushed the federal government to pay attention to small ports and their critical role in Oregon’s economy. Merkley reiterated the critical role that dredging and jetty maintenance plays in the operation of any port. He noted that in past years small ports are too often “woefully underfunded” by the federal government, which is why Merkley secured $40 million for small ports this past fiscal year. In recent years, as a result of changes in the National Flood Insurance Program, homeowners and business-owners on the coast faced skyrocketing flood insurance premiums, which posed a threat to home ownership and economic development. Roblan noted Sen. Merkley’s role in bringing Congress’ attention to this issue by chairing a hearing on the subject and convening a bipartisan group of lawmakers to work on legislation, which led to passage of a bipartisan bill that provided immediate relief to families who faced spiking flood insurance rates. The coastal caucus also asked Merkley about the high cost of levee certification, which is required for many small
Oregon communities that have levees for flood protection. If these levees are not recertified, FEMA reclassifies the land as being in a flood plain, which causes flood insurance for properties behind the levee to spike. Merkley made it possible for local governments to request that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – instead of private contractors — perform levee recertification, greatly reducing costs. Roblan noted that, as the first Oregonian since Sen. Mark Hatfield to serve on the Appropriations Committee in either the House or Senate, Merkley has worked to get Oregon’s coast adequate funding. He has pushed to designate $11 million for research on ocean acidification to improve conditions at oyster hatcheries across Oregon and to include language that lets Oregon’s commercial fishermen use less-costly electronic monitoring instead of inperson monitors. Merkley asked for continuing input from all stakeholders at the summit and emphasized the importance of Oregonians’ input in producing legislation that helps communities across Oregon. He cited the example of a key water infrastructure bill included in the Water Resources Development Act. Traveling across the state, Merkley had heard repeatedly from local leaders the challenges they faced in upgrading or replacing water and sewage infrastructure – including in many coastal communities that were struggling with aging systems that could threaten public health and limit future growth. Merkley worked to create a more affordable way to finance those projects so that local governments and ratepayers don’t have to take on an unaffordable burden. That proposal, the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act, passed this spring and will give communities access to low-interest loans to create good-paying construction jobs and protect our communities’ health and safety. Most recently Sen. Merkley has pressed the administration to continue protecting Oregon’s and Washington’s coasts from the risks of offshore drilling.

An audience member yelled, “Wow.” “Yes, I know,” Tamara said. “I was too.” She said they have a celebration planned. “We are very, very happy to be celebrating this landmark,” she explained, “and we have some exciting new changes taking place in the section that is the gift area, where we first started.” She said the area will get an update. She called it “upcycling to a new level.” She says they have already installed paper floors and recycled jean walls and pallet walls. “The plan is to actually take it all the way around the gallery,” she said. “Of course, it’s going to be a slow process.” And, she said, they plan to introduce wines from the Umpqua Valley.

Coastal halibut fishing ends NEWPORT — Thanks to excellent fishing, anglers have caught the remaining 2014 Pacific halibut summer all-depth season quota for the central Oregon coast thus ending the season in Oregon’s most popular halibut fishery. Fishery managers determined Thursday that not enough quota remains for any additional openings in the area between Cape Falcon, just north of Manzanita, to Humbug Mountain, near Port Orford. The central Oregon coast
nearshore (inside 40 fathoms) remains open seven days per week until Oct. 31, or the quota is attained. “The summer all-depth season was once again very popular and successful for many anglers,” said Lynn Mattes, ODFW’s project leader for halibut.“In addition, many anglers reported a nice grade of fish with several reports of fish over 60 pounds being landed.” Halibut fishing also remains open in the Columbia River and Southern

The addition of wines will be a big deal. “I don’t know if we’ll have it in time for the 25-year anniversary,” Tamara said. “We’ll see how the process goes. But, hopefully, we’ll be able to say we have Umpqua wines. “That’s what we want to do ... kind of highlight the Umpqua Valley,” she said. “We would like to invite you all to come on down.

Elicker FROM PAGE 1 “We have seafood processors in Brookings, Coos Bay, Newport, Port Orford and Astoria,” Elicker ticked off. “When you get right down to it, the Oregon coast has been successful — more so than our neighbors to the north and to the south, Washington and California — in helping to grow this commercial fishery industry.” There are several reasons for that. “First of all, we don’t have the population pressures on our coast that Washington and California do,” he said. “So, we have room for commercial fisheries — fleets, processing centers — those are the kind of things that have been the backbone of the Oregon coast for many decades. But, that’s really true now, thanks to the increased demand for the quality seafood that we produce off our coast.” He credited processing facilities as the anchors of the fishing industry.

Elicker said Oregon’s strong fisheries are pink shrimp, crab, tuna, groundfish trawling and whiting. He said the top two, pink shrimp and crab, are not regulated by the federal government. “They’re regulated by the state of Oregon,” he said.

Mayor FROM PAGE 1
McCollum says that levee certification is a priority “I just think that we work well as a team.” She noted the effort to get the city’s levee certified by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Federal Emergency Management Agency has been, and will be, a priority. “The levee has to be a priority for people to feel confident to come into our
city and invest,” she said. McCollum said she also hopes to create a working partnership with Reedsport City Manager Jonathan Wright. “Jonathan, of course, has developed a good relationship with all of us,” she said. “I would hope to develop the relationship (the mayor and city manager) have. They can, kind of, play off of each other and be sounding boards.” McCollum said she was surprised, and disappointed, more people didn’t file for city office. “Disappointed that
nobody cared enough, was interested enough to file,” she said. “That’s sad.” Patten, who worked in law enforcement for 39 years, is currently the president of the Reedsport/Winchester Bay Chamber of Commerce. He lists his employment status as retired. O’Carroll is also retired. He lists legislative aid and legislative advocate as his occupational background. He was also a member of the Burns City Council.

By Alysha Beck, The Umpqua Post
Reedsport players practice their tackling technique during drills last week.The Braves play in a jamboree at Coquille on Friday.
Teams prep for new season THE UMPQUA POST Reedsport’s football and volleyball teams are more than a week into their formal practice now as they prepare for the upcoming season. The Braves will get a few preseason contests before jumping into play in their new league, including jamborees for the football team Friday at Coquille and the volleyball team at home next Wednesday. The Class 2A Sunset Conference includes three traditional foes — Myrtle Point, Bandon and Gold Beach — as well as new teams Waldport and Toledo. When league play begins, the top two volleyball and football teams will advance to the playoffs. There’s a chance another football team will make the playoffs as well. The Oregon School Activities Association initially guaranteed each of the six Class 2A leagues two playoffs spots each, with four more spots to be allocated at the Sept. 8 executive board meeting.

Volunteers needed for Reedsport Volleyball Invitational THE UMPQUA POST The Reedsport Invitational marks 25 years as a fall volleyball tradition when the Braves host the eight-team event Saturday, Sept. 6. Riddle, Glide, Yoncalla, North Douglas, Coquille, Oakland and defending champion Siuslaw will be in town for the all-day event. The Braves Boosters Association is looking for help

Nonselective ocean coho season begins this weekend The nonselective season for ocean coho salmon starts on Saturday, Aug. 30. That means that any ocean coho salmon at least 16-inches in length is legal to keep — subject to the two salmon daily limit. The season will run through Sept. 30 or until the 20,000 coho quota is met. Since both finclipped and wild coho count towards the quota, the nonselective ocean coho season may be a short one. For those of you interested in the catch statistics on the finclipped ocean coho season that ended on Aug. 10 and did not find it on the ODFW web site, The final catch statistics were 48,671 finclipped coho caught and kept — or 60.8 percent of the 80,000 fish quota. The catch varied greatly by coastal location. The northern Oregon coast (Florence to Garibaldi) accounted for 87.8 percent of the finclipped cohos that were caught and kept. The southern Oregon coast (Winchester Bay to Brookings) accounted for 81.4 percent of the retained Chinook salmon. Crabbing is fair to good off the docks at Winchester Bay, very good for boat crabbers in the lower Umpqua River and excellent in the ocean. Ocean crabbing is legal through Oct. 15 for noncommercial sport crabbers. On an extremely irritating note, a man spent considerable time last Friday at
