‌BANDON — The approaching holiday season can cause sadness and confusion for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. Professional counseling, group support or holiday memorial events can help ease the grieving process during the holidays and throughout the year.

Advice on handling grief

ahead, notes Louise Cackowski, Licensed Professional Counselor and Bereavement Coordinator for South Coast Hospice and Palliative Care.

Ask what experience each individual would find meaningful during the holidays. Some may choose to skip events that are uncomfortable, or find a new way to honor loved ones who have passed.

“The rule is, there is no rule,” said Cackowski.

Support groups offer help with grief — offered by well meaning friends and family members— can be helpful, or frustrating.

Take what works, and ignore what doesn’t, suggests Lynne Meininger, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Bereavement Coordinator for Coastal Home Health and Hospice.

“Be kind to yourself. Try not to put too many expectations on yourself or others,” said Meininger.

Families benefit from planning

‌BANDON — The deadline for Medicare patients to apply for or change prescription drug insurance plans is Dec. 7. Online enrollment closes midnight Dec. 7 at Medicare.gov.

Residents 65 years and older can take advantage of free Medicare information through the federal Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance program, hosted in Coos County by Coast Community Health Center.

In person SHIBA services are available by appointment Monday through Friday. Call the health center to schedule an appointment with a trained SHIBA volunteer. Appointments are available in other locations in Coos and Curry counties by request.

For information by telephone, call the SHIBA office in Salem, Oregon. To connect with an assister, hold the line, and do not follow the prompt for your postal zip code.

Supplemental insurance policies may be purchased to cover some costs not covered by Medicare plans. Patients may change supplemental plans or companies during a 30 day period each year, starting on their birthday.

Insurance companies may not legally sell Medigap or supplemental insurance through the on-line Health Insurance Marketplace to individuals enrolled in Medicare.

Families caring for a sick loved one might also consider a change of routine. It’s easy to get caught up just managing illness, said Jenée Anderson, Community Outreach Manager for South Coast Hospice.

Families may change traditions before a loved one has passed. Celebrating holidays at an alternate time or location to include a sick family member

‌C OOS BAY — The Oregon Dungeness commercial crab fishing season started on time this year.

It’s been delayed the last two years, but this year we’ve got a Dec. 1 opener,” Hugh Link said last week.

Link, the executive director of the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission, said the opening is set by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and is based, up and down the coast, on the percentage of fill rate of the crab.

This year, he said, the percentage was above average, to say the least.

“The testing, not only in Oregon but northern California and southern Washington, showed that the crab are extremely full and ready for harvest,” he said.

“We haven’t seen fill percentage rates in crab like this in my 11 years that I’ve been doing this.”

But a prompt start of the season depends on three things.

The weather must make for safe conditions, the crab must be sufficiently filled with meat, and a price must be set between fishermen and processors.

It is that last part of the equation that most often trips up the opening of the season. This year, however, that piece of the puzzle fell into place right away.

“Typically we set aside two days for the processors and fishermen to meet in a room under the umbrella of the Oregon Department of Agriculture,” Link said. “Monday we had our state supervised price negotiations started (and) we settled the price on the first day.

“I think the fishermen and the processors both agreed that we had a quality crab on

‌B ANDON — Coastal Harvest Gleaners is still “homeless” but has found a temporary home at First Baptist Church. The church administration is currently working out details and hopes to be able to offer the group a permanent home, according to Coastal Harvest treasurer Charles Moore.

It’s true! In the early 1700s, blood-letting in England was a common cure for a toothache. They thought the toxins could be drained out of the body.

It was also thought to be more effective when it was done in proper phase with the moon.

The balance between safety and practicality ‌We all want to keep our children as safe as possible. That’s the understandable motive behind a group of Bandon parents who want the city’s Parks and Recreation Commission to remove the rubber tire mulch on the City Park playground.

The mulch could be toxic. After all, it is shredd e d r u b b e r co m p ose d of many chemical compounds, some known to be carcinogenic. Whether or not those chemicals are inert is one of the many questions that have not been answered conclusively.

Can exposure to the tire mulch lead to cancer? There is anecdotal

Grateful for Bandon’s generosity I‌ n this season of special thankfulness, we, the members of Coastal Harvest Gleaners, thank God for the good people of our community who give so generously to help feed the hungry.

It is not possible for us to name you all one-by-one, but we want you to know that all of us are most grateful for your support.

We are especially grateful to the pastor and people of First Baptist Church for letting us use their facilities while our organization is “homeless,” and for participating with us in this ministry. We also thank the patrons of Ray’s Food Place, who contributed to their Stuff the Truck project.

evidence that it might be so, but that isn’t enough to make the Environmental Protection Agency ban the material, though even that agency admits the topic needs more investigation.

Parks and Recreation Commission members should be commended for listening to these parents’ concerns and extensively researching the issue.

W h i l e so m e m e m b e rs agree there is a chance the mulch could be toxic, there are other factors to consider.

One is the cost of replacing the tire mulch.

It’s not just a matter of purchasing a different type of ground cover. It’s also the time it would take

to remove and dispose of the tire mulch, which the city initially invested more than $50,000 to install.

The commission has a limited budget and is hoping to soon establish a new, smaller park near Harvard Street. The commission’s budget should be used for that and other parks projects around town.

Further, based on Facebook posts on a Bandon mom’s page, public testimony and letters to the city, a significant number of parents aren’t concerned about the issue. Are they simply not educated on the subject? Maybe, but more likely they are weighing the benefits versus the perceived risks of keeping

their children safe and tire mulch on a playground doesn’t rank high enough to be a pressing concern, especially since time spent on the playground for most children is minimal.

There are dozens of recreational opportunities in Bandon. Isn’t that one important reason we live here?

The beach, rivers and creeks, hiking, biking and golf are just a few. But those activities are not always suited to small children. The City Park playground is a safe, contained area, with age-appropriate equipment, benches, picnic tables and a restroom, and is a desirable place to bring the little ones.

Letters

Unlike a big city, there aren’t many playground a l te r n a t i ve s i n B a n don. Some of the parents involved home-school their children and aren’t allowed to use the Castle Crest playground at Ocean Crest Elementary during school hours, which is a large part of the day.

Perhaps the School District could allow homeschooled children to play on the playground during school hours if they are supervised by an adult and sign a waiver regarding liability.

That would provide an alternative place to play during school hours.

The concerned parents also could work on

would like to especially thank Ray’s Food Place, Good Neighbors Food Bank, Coffee Break, our wonderful residents and great staff and most of all the generous Community Members of Bandon whose huge hearts help make Bandon the Place to Be this holiday season.

Agreement on ballot measure ‌Mr. Lawson in last week’s letter to the editor regarding Ballot Measure 6-150 was on point, though it pained him some to agree with me regarding the issues and implications of Measure 6-150.

It’s clear that he echoed the opinions and concerns of about 60 percent of Bandon voters, who soundly turned down Measure 6-150.

Mr. Lawson provided considerable food for thought on how the City Council, staff and others should approach any future City of Bandon concern or need.

educating and convincing the public that the tire mulch needs to be replaced, then organize fundraisers to purchase a different ground cover.

Volunteer work parties, along with the use of city equipment could go a long way in getting the job done. In addition, the Parks Commission is looking at replacing the aging play structures at the City Park playground in the next few years anyway. When they do that, they should research all the alternatives for ground cover and choose one that is a more natural substance. It would likely be less expensive and there would be no question regarding its toxicity.

‌I am writing you, sadly, as an ex-Bandon resident.

Sadly, because 17 years ago we moved to the sunny desert only to find that enough sun is enough! We live about 50 miles from the army base in Sierra Vista, Ariz., which was one of Bobby Martindales bases during our part of the Korean War. Shopping in Sierra Vista always brings up wonderful memories with Bob. Swell memories like little blue hairs coming into the posh office with enough coins to buy a couple stamps just to talk with him. He is one of our best friends, like with many Bandonions who consider him their best friend.

The point is, we couldn’t believe that Bob’s picture, or name even, wasn’t mentioned in your nice Veterans Day special last week. We would be so relieved to see honorable mention made of him in the coming issue.

Admittedly, he is not fond of photos lately, but he is an American veteran.

If we are uniformed of circumstances since the last summer when we lash saw him please contact us at P.O. Box 594, Pearce, Ariz., 85625 or home phone us at 520-826-1099.

different. Mine includes some extra blood pressure pills, some food, something with which to purify drinking water, some clean socks and other clothing items (no need to go into intimate detail here) and something I can use to start a fire.

D e p e n d i n g o n yo u r travel habits, your individual bag will be custom designed by you to meet your lifestyle. There are literally hundreds of companies online that are happy to sell you a ready-made kit, but again if you’re a veteran reader, you know that I advocate building your own kit. You get to choose the items you will need for your particular situation and you get to pick quality products to fill up your bag. In other words, you are invested in your own survival and there is no need to outsource that responsibility to someone who doesn’t even know you.

If you need ideas on what to put in your kit, then by all means look over the list of contents on some of the better kits, but build your own.

Disaster Preparedness Dave Robinson From time to time, I offer my opinion on a particular product you may want to consider for your kit. Every kit needs some means of alternative fire starter just because you may want to start a fire to keep warm. Imagine being out in the hills, hunting, firewood-getting, or just sightseeing and all of a sudden you slide off the road. Or a fallen tree blocks your egress. Or you find yourself behind a locked gate. Building a fire would be one of the things you’d want to do to keep warm, keep you company and maybe even heat up some food.

I recently came into possession of a “Lightning-Strike” fire starter.

There are dozens of products available that use this technology. It is a variation of the old flint and steel although none of these products actually use flint anymore, rather

it consists of something called ferrocerium. Commonly referred to as a ferro rod. When you grind a piece of steel against a ferro rod, a spark is produced.

The Lightning-Strike fire starter is about the size of a Mini-mag flashl i g h t . Co n s t r u c te d o f machined, anodized aluminum it is an ingenious design which contains dry tinder in the watertight handle storage area a n d a t u b u l a r- s l o t te d barrel which houses the ferro rod. When the steel striker grinds against the ferro rod, a spark is ejected from the end of the barrel. Because of the larger-than-average ferro rod and a larger- thanaverage steel striker, the spark this thing gives off is significantly bigger than any similar device I have used. And because of the “shotgun barrel” design, you can direct the spark to go where you want.

Now fo r t h e d ow n side: It’s not cheap. The $60 price tag could put some folks off, but this is afterall, the Christmas

shopping season and if you want to buy the perfect gift for your outdoorsman or prepper-dude (or dudette) then you can’t go wrong with the Lightning Strike. It is a quality product, easy to use and well thought out. I’m proud of mine and show it off every chance I get.

Invented in Powers by Darrell Holland and sold from his website (www. hollandguns.com), this could be the perfect addition to your collection of necessities.

Dutch Bros. to hold ‘Buck-for-Kids’ day ‌S OUTH COAST — As the season of giving rolls in, Dutch Bros. is doing its part this Friday, Dec. 5, as the company holds its sixth annual “Buck-forKids” day.

The event, which takes place at all 233 company locations, donates one dollar from every drink ordered to local children’s organizations.

“Friday is a companywide event with two goals meant to support local organizations that work with kids,” Dutch Bros.

Love Abounds Foundation Director Jen Wheatley said.

Coos Bay and North Bend Dutch Bros., owned and operated by Brad and Heidi Young, will donate their proceeds to the Boys & Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon.

Although the company had a few options to donate to, the Youngs, who have previously worked with the Boys & Girls Club, chose the organization because of its positive impact on kids, which include building team skills and influencing how they interact with the outside environment.

While the monetary donations, which have averaged $1,500 per year, assist with funding some of the organization’s programs, the Boys & Girls Club is very appreciative of these types of events because they spur community involvement.

“It’s very important because it continues to show the community support for our organization, which is vital,” said Boys & Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon chief professional officer Denise Gould.

Much like its other philanthropic events,”Drink One For Dane“ and “Dutch Luv,” which raise money for ALS and hunger, respectively, the company hopes “Buck-for-Kids” will unite people for a good cause.

Deviled Turkeys

7 Devils’ spent grains make protein-rich diet for Bandon freerange turkeys.

CHELSEA DAVIS

Bandon Western World

‌BANDON — Many prefer the experience of going out and cutting down their own Christmas tree. The same tradition has developed in Bandon, except it’s at Thanksgiving — and it involves turkeys.

This is the fifth year Coastal Hills Pastured Poultry has sold its freerange turkeys, but the birds have beefed up over the past two years as they’ve developed a taste — as has the entire South Coast, it seems — for 7 Devils Brewing Co. Coastal H ills owner Diana Swenson noticed last year that her hefty turkeys were lacking something.

Their legs were starting to

CANDIDATES Continued from A1

The candidates include Chris Good, from Fernley, Nevada; Jim Pascale, from Hopewell, N.J.; and Cathy Sinnard, from Monument, Colo.

Good was most recently city manager for the city of Fernley, from February 2013 to November of this year.

Prior to that, Good served the city of Reno, Nev., for more than 14 years in a number of roles, including public information officer, senior management analyst, interim

Though there’s no set time frame for grief, you should feel like you’re moving forward, said Furman Grile. When you feel “stuck,” it’s time to ask for help.

Hospice professionals provide medical support for patients with life threatening illness and help families anticipate and cope with loss.

They settled on a starting price of $3.10 per pound, up 45 cents from last season’s $2.65 start.

But, Link said, the 17 percent increase is just the starting price, with market forces able to drive it up or down as the season progresses.

break down, meaning they needed more protein in their diet.

“They only get so many bugs out in the field,” she said.

She turned to a commercial grower for advice.

He suggested feeding them a brewery’s spent grains — and that’s where 7 Devils comes in.

Last year, Swenson sat down with Carmen Matthews and Annie Pollard, who were on the verge of opening 7 Devils in downtown Coos Bay. “Since the very beginning, we were talking about doing exactly that, it was just finding the right person,” Matthews said. “And we’re trying to create a full circle, so we use her cattle (which also eat 7 Devils spent grain-infused feed) in our beef dishes.”

The beer and turkey connoisseurs hashed out what they would need: a forklift, a trailer, totes.

Good also served as public information officer and performance budget analyst for the city of Las Cruces, N.M., from 1994 to 1998. He has a bachelor’s degree in English from Michigan State University and a Master’s of Public Administration degree from New Mexico State University.

Good told the audience that he and his wife are looking for a change and to move to an area where they can continue to raise chickens and sheep and

Spent grain is one of the byproducts of the brewing process. Farmers then take that spent grain to feed turkeys, cattle and chickens.

Most breweries have this kind of partnership with farmers, Matthews said.

Swenson sold more than 100 turkeys on the Sunday

before Thanksgiving alone.

There was a line on the farm the entire afternoon as people waited, coolers in hand, to grab a turkey, giblets and cranberries.

Pascale was most recently township administrator for Princeton Township, N.J., where he served in that position for almost 30 years.

Early in his career, he was administrator for Mahwah Township, N.J., for four years and was assistant administrator for Princeton Township, N.J., for three years.

Pascale has a Bachelor of Arts in social studies and a Master’s of Public Administration degree, both from Rutgers University.

He told the audience that he and his wife raised a blended family of five children, who are all grown and on their own and they would now like to fulfill their dream to “go west.”

Sinnard served as the town manager for Monument, Colo., from 20052013. She worked for the city of Pueblo, Colo., for 12 years in various positions, including director of planning and development, assistant city manager and senior planner.

DECEMBER HOLIDAY REMEMBRANCE EVENTS

Tax preparation helpers needed ‌SOUTH COAST — This year, AARP Foundation is again providing free tax assistance and preparation for taxpayers with low to moderate income through the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide, in its 46th year, is the nation’s largest free tax assistance and preparation service, giving special attention to the older population.

You do not need to be a member of AARP or a retiree to use this service.

AARP Foundation TaxAide is seeking volunteers to support the Bandon, Lakeside and North Bend sites to help Oregon taxpayers who are seeking assistance for preparing and filing their 2014 tax returns.

Volunteers learn new skills while giving back to their communities. Previous experience is not required to be a volunteer. In addition to general tax assistance, there is also a need for grassroots leadership, on-site greeters, and those who can provide tax help in Spanish.

Fr e e t ra i n i n g i s

Sinnard held the position of senior environmental planner for Pueblo County, Colo., as well as other planner positions from 1986 to 1992.

Sinnard has a Bachelor of Arts degree in geography and political science from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a Master’s of Planning and Community Development degree from the University of Colorado at Denver.

Sinnard said she loves the weather on the Oregon

scheduled for mid-January 2015. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers must complete a tax preparation workshop from the Internal Revenue Service prior to working with taxpayers.

They are reimbursed on a limited basis for qualified program-related expenses such as mileage.

AARP Foundation TaxAide has grown tremendously since its inaugural team of just four volunteers in 1968.

In 2014, 35,000 compassionate volunteers at over 5,000 sites nationwide provided 2.6 million people with free tax help.

Taxpayers who used AARP Foundation TaxAide received $1.3 billion in income tax refunds and more than $257 million in Earned Income Tax Credits (EITCs).

If the council hires one of the finalists, that person will be offered a yearly salary between $85,000 and $105,000, as well as full benefits. The city manager reports directly to the City Council, an elected body.

There is one change to the season-opening process that takes effect this year. The crab boats, which started dropping gear in the water at 8 a.m.

Friday, were not able to start pulling in the crab pots until 9 a.m. Monday.

“We’ve typically had a 6 4 - h o u r p re - s o a k , but have increased that to a 73-hour pre-soak, mainly to get the season off at daylight,” Link said.

“Oregon and Washington both adopted that procedure for this year, based on safety and (that) having the daylight will help enforcement and making sure everybody is doing

the right things out there.”

There has been some crab showing up in area stores this week, as California started its season in the middle of November.

But, weather permitting, Oregon Dungeness crab should be on the way soon.

“Get ‘em while they’re good! I would expect they should be in the stores by mid-week to the end of the week,” Link added.

“They’ll start pouring in.”

407 Personals ODE to the BODE Legend has said that at any given time in history, there are only seven truly great dogs in the world.

On Sunday last, I received the tearful news that one of them had passed on to his next great adventure.

Bodie wasn’t my dog, but, he was a big part of my family. From day one almost a decade ago, he never failed to greet me with a smile and a healthy tail-waggin’’. Over the years, the routine came to include my administration of an “ear snoggle” and a body cuddle, most times followed by a cookie or two.

We shall miss our pal Bodie but he will be remembered well and often.

A legacy any of us, two-legged or four-legged would gladly accept.

Happy Trails to you, old friend, save us a sunny spot in the grass.

Anglers are catching coho trolling or casting Blue Fox lures, Mepps Flying “C” lures and Wiggle Wart plugs.

This is a good time to take advantage of this fishery because traditionally it will wind down in the next couple of weeks.

Yellow perch fishing has remained excellent in Tenmile Lakes. Night crawlers or perch bellies have been the preferred baits.

Bandon’s Tristian Davidson drives down the court during a game against Coquille last winter.

Wickstrom and Shannon Forty, juniors Trae Dyer and James Hammons and sophomore Zane Olive.

All of them have experience either from being on the varsity team or being in the program.

“They’ve been in the system for three years,” Nice said. “In terms of putting in an offense, on Day 1 they understood the actions.

Certainly, you can refine them a lot, but a lot of this stuff is review.”

In the new-look Sunset Conference, the Tigers will be facing a triple roundrobin, which requires a couple of league games be played before the Christmas break.

For Bandon, those games are at Myrtle Point next Friday and at home against Gold Beach on Dec. 15, a Monday. The Tigers won’t face the other three league foes—Toledo, Waldport and Reedsport—until early next year.

The only tuneups before

the counting games will be Saturday at Illinois Valley and Tuesday at Coquille.

“It’s weird to be playing Myrtle Point in a league contest so fast,” Nice said.

He added that playing Coquille for the only meeting early in the season also is strange.

“I’m looking forward to playing Coquille,” he said.

“It’s not like the implication of last year with those pressure-cooker games.”

GIRLS Bandon’s girls have a bit of experience this year, but are lacking one key component for most teams—size.

“We are definitely small,” coach Amanda Duey said, explaining that all of the players would be considered guards for many teams.

“But we are fighters,” she said. “They are up for any challenge that I put in front of them for practice.”

The Tigers likely will employ a pressing system, which is a big change from

‌T he Bandon basketball teams embark on a new season Saturday when they visit Illinois Valley at Cave Junction.

The boys are trying to follow up on a fantastic season when they advanced to the Class 3A playoffs.

Now in a new classification with a few new league foes, the Tigers have a mix of returning players and new talent.

“I am excited,” coach Ken Nice said. “We have a lot of unanswered questions in terms of how this group will be and how tough they are.

“I think we have potential to do some good things.”

The T igers gradated several seniors from last year’s playoff team, including starters Shawn Peters, Logan Shea and Evan Henson.

Senior Quentin Coomer and junior Tristian Davidson return as starters, and are surrounded by a number of other players expected to be key contributors.

Seniors Mitchell Brown and Braden Fugate and sophomore Austin Moore fill out the starting lineup.

N i ce i s pa r t i c u l a rly excited about Moore, a 6-foot-5-inch post with good speed and hands.

“He’s a stud,” Nice said.

Moore and Davidson give the Tigers a pair of tall players with great athleticism.

“It’s a different kind of thing,” Nice said. “We have two 6-5 kids who can run like crazy and have good hands.”

Last year, Henson gave the Tigers a great post presence, but he was a different type of player.

“Our team speed is better, but we still have a lot of length,” Nice said.

Other key players for the Tigers are seniors Ethan

last year.

“We’re almost starting from ground zero,” Duey said. “We are creating something completely new.”

Fortunately for the coach, she has six veterans who have stepped up as leaders.

Seniors Liza-May Skei and Krista Peters and juniors Raelyn Freitag, Ally Richert, Kori Nemec and Savannah Williams give Bandon a solid core group.

“All six of them have decided as a group to step up and be vocal and talk each other through things,” Duey said. “That’s a positive, especially when there are so many new players getting used to the program and going as hard as we do.”

Duey is putting the players through a lot and the team has embraced the work ethic she demands.

“Our practices are long and hard and they are hanging in there,” she said.

The rest of the rotation includes sophomores Rowan Reimer, Dani Cox a n d K a t ly n n Fe r re r i — the latter a transfer from Coquille—and freshmen Kaylynn Pickett and Sarah Skeie.

Duey is excited about the two first-year players.

Pickett was a standout for the volleyball team.

“Basketball hasn’t been her focus,” Duey said. “She is picking things up quick.

She is definitely going to give us good minutes.”

As for the younger Skeie, “She will give us a little bit of size, not a ton of size,” Duey said. “She shows promise.”

Duey is excited to see how the group performs in games, though it’s rough starting league against the two teams expected to be the best of the group—Myrtle Point and Gold Beach.

“We’ll see who is ready to step up,” she said.

down on the Chetco River.

Anglers are starting to focus on the winter steelhead season, which is just getting under way. This should be a good week to fish the Chetco as river levels drop after recent rains.

Anglers are seeing more fresh winter steelhead entering the lower Rogue River after recent rains.

Plunking from one of the many gravel bars on the lower Rogue is a relaxing way to catch winter steelhead.

The Rogue is open for adipose fin-clipped steelhead year round. Non-adipose fin-clipped steelhead at least 24 inches in length may be kept Jan. 1 to April 30.

The majority of steelhead caught have been wild and must be released.

Anglers caught a couple

of early winter steelhead on the East Fork of the Millicoma River last weekend. One angler reported catching and releasing a 12-pound wild steelhead drifting roe on the East Fork.

Anglers plunking spin glos and roe from the Myrtle Point gravel bar on the Coquille River caught a few winter steelhead before the river blew out last weekend.

Look for winter steelhead fishing to start to pick up in the Coos and Coquille river basins in the next couple of weeks.

Both the Elk and Sixes rivers should be in excellent shape this week for anglers looking to catch fall Chinook. December is still an excellent month to catch fall Chinook on those rivers.

Pacific Ocean: Monday

morning the ocean conditions calmed down long enough for anglers to get out and catch some nice rockfish and ling cod. One angler brought in nine nice ocean Dungeness crab for us to cook, which he caught out of the Port of Bandon. The sport ocean c ra b sea so n re o p e n e d Monday, Dec. 1.

Area shellfish: Last week a local boater caught 11 Dungeness crab from the bay in Bandon. Since last weekend’s rain, the bay has muddied up and crabbing should continue to be slow.

D o c k c ra b b e rs i n C h a rl e s to n re p o r te d d e c e n t c ra b b i n g f o r Dungeness and large red rock crab. As weather conditions improve, look for boaters to get back on the lower portions of Coos Bay.
