The Longview Hills Fishing Club helps Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife service salmon fish traps on a few streams in the area. We are working on a project to put a rail on a walking bridge at the Schooner Creek Trap (east of Lincoln City) and we had scheduled a work day on Friday, November 14th. Wayde needed a measurement from the bridge and wanted to check Schooner Creek due to the amount of rain we have had this past week, so he and I drove up there yesterday (Thursday).

What a surprise we had when we got there! The normally calm, blue, serene Schooner Creek was a brown, fast moving river. Naturally, we postponed the bridge work scheduled for Friday until, hopefully next week but I thought many of you would enjoy seeing Mother Nature's handiwork.

In case you have not had the chance to meet Michele Longo Eder or to read her book, Salt In Our Blood: The Memoir of a Fisherman's Wife, you are missing a rare treat. This local author has written her memoir which is insightful, interesting, and heart wrenching. Everyone I have spoken with who have read this book say they can't put it down. If you want a chance to meet Michele, she will be at the Pacific Maritime & Heritage Center in Newport, this coming Sunday, Nov. 16th, and at the Driftwood Public Library in Lincoln City, next Tuesday evening, Nov. 18th.

What They Miss About the Oregon Coast

What They Miss About the Oregon Coast: "It was the coast the way it once was. And there are plenty of folks who remember chunks of living history about the region, and its more rugged, even ruddy appearance and vibes before the last ten years' of growth spurts took hold and changed the landscape and feel."

CERT/US Coast Guard Drill

To prepare for the Central Coast Drill on November 8th, a pre-drill meeting was held at the regular Monday CERT meeting at LVH on November 3rd. Mike Mulligan came to outline the entire project, especially as it pertained to the areas at the Agate Beach Golf Course and Longview Hills.



The drill was coastal wide, from Yachats to North Lincoln City. LVH CERT, however, only participated in the drill at the Agate Beach Golf Course (Code Name: Hotel) and Longview Hills (Code Name: India). Luckily, Nicole Mangum was able to clear the area of the pesky goat who had wondered in the landing zone so all was ready for the drill. There was some doubt if the drill was going to come off due to inclement weather and concern about two ships in trouble out to sea. The helicopter wasn't able to hover but did make the necessary fly over. The above photos are from the Agate Beach Golf Course.



The group at Longview Hills cordoned off the parking lot and marked it so the helicopter would be able to spot it. Everyone was prepared, thanks to Ron Thomas' planning. We even had radio trouble and were able to overcome that problem. Although the drill didn't go as originally planned, it left little doubt that the CERT team is prepared for an emergency. We learn a great deal each time we have one of these drills. Our only hope now is that we will never have to put it to the real test.

First Voyage

First Voyage: "Bob: I am certain that she didn't know then, and I believe that she doesn't know even now, how extraordinary those three days in November 1996 were. We had purchased Chiron, a 47-foot cutter rigged sailboat, the month before and had planned to leave it in Seattle until more favorable weather in the spring. But the long-range forecasts were for a very hard winter and the immediate predictions were for a brief weather window in the first week of November."

Canadian artist finds poetry on the battlefront

Canadian artist finds poetry on the battlefront: "August Widow
from across the road, with church and soldiers in their scope,
story is veins and arteries, soft tissue to these black coats
this murder of shiny microphones, video cams
they beak, they claw, they pick at mourner carrion;
gray day, gray day, a brother buried half a world away
from bullet and pomegranate, on this his prairie
where wild flax blues and blooms,
and yellow canola swathed,"

A road trip down Oregon's coast reveals small towns and undeveloped beauty [] - Cleveland.com: "Oregon's coast is still wild enough to be a windy wonder, tame enough for the squeamish, surprisingly affordable and uncrowded -- yet diverse enough to please at least someone in the car most of the time.

All beaches are public, and access is guaranteed by law."

Editorial - The Rural Life - Still Life - NYTimes.com: "Every now and then I feel as though I’ve woken up in a Rembrandt etching — a tangled thicket of pen-strokes from which a landscape emerges. It’s not just that the sky has taken on the tint of 17th-century drawing paper or that the world has lost color. It has more to do with the balance of time. Nature seems to have paused. There is a numb overcast overhead, with little drift to it. Wood smoke slides down the roof and onto the road. The wild apples are waiting to fall."
