Coquille Valley Wildlife Area reopens to public use
Coquille Valley Wildlife Area reopens to public use
Friday, October 5, 2018
​
CHARLESTON, Ore – The Coquille Valley Wildlife Area reopens in stages to public use in time for waterfowl season.
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will reopen the Beaver Slough tract October 13 and the Winter Lake tract October 20. Both tracts make up the 660-acre wildlife area and have been closed since June 1 for habitat restoration activities including tidal channel construction.
“Waterfowl season begins October 13, so we’re pleased we can reopen the Beaver Slough tract for duck and goose hunters,” said Stuart Love, Charleston District Wildlife Biologist. “The Winter Lake tract opens a week later so we can make sure the new tide gate system that will start flooding that portion of the wildlife area is functioning properly.”
Hunters should be aware the new tidal channels constructed on the Winter Lake tract will have varying levels of water according to tidal influence. Steep sides and water could make it difficult to get out of the channels, and ODFW advises hunters to wear a personal flotation around the tidal channels.
Hunters should also know some aspects of the Winter Lake restoration project are continuing into the fall and can expect to see staff planting vegetation and conducting project monitoring. Other recreationists may also be on the wildlife area.
The wildlife area can be accessed from North Bank Lane off Highway 42. An access permit is required and can be obtained at no cost at the information kiosk in the wildlife area’s parking lot on North Bank Lane.

Celebration of Heroes – Vietnam Traveling Tribute  
September 12-16, 2018
 
Coos County Veteran Services is pleased to announce A Celebration of Heroes.  This event brings an 80% replica of the Vietnam Memorial Wall to Coos County September 13-16, 2018.  A schedule of events is attached.  The Celebration of Heroes  is the culmination of a multi-year project to honor the Vietnam Veterans in our communities.
 
The Celebration of Heroes event will begin September 12, 2018 with a motor escort of the truck bringing the Wall.  The escort will start at the Coos County Fairgrounds in Myrtle Point.  Citizens are invited to participate and should arrive by 3:00 pm.  The escort will leave promptly at 4:00pm. 
​
No advertising or electioneering can be displayed during any wall events.
 
A large group of volunteers will erect the wall on 9/13/18 starting at 8:00 am.  There will be an Opening Ceremony at 3:00 pm that day.  The memorial will be open to visitors at the end of the Opening Ceremony and Dedication.  Visitors can view the wall from dawn to dusk on Friday and Saturday and on Sunday morning until noon.  Then, volunteers will dismantle the memorial and load the truck that will leave the county that afternoon. 
 
This beautiful display is an eighty percent replica of the memorial in Washington D.C.  It is a moving tribute honoring Vietnam Veterans and those who made the ultimate sacrifice by giving their lives for our freedom.  All members of the public are invited to view the wall and join in the planned events. 
 
The Sawdust Theater has generously added a benefit show to help with this endeavor.  Tickets are $25 and will include a BBQ with live music after the show.  Tickets may be purchased at the Coquille Chamber of Commerce (541-396-3414), Century 21 Best Realty Coquille (541-396-5387) or Fran Capehart (541 396-5357). 
 
Coos County Veteran Services will host an information session for the press on Tuesday, August 28th at 2:00 in the Owens Building large conference room, 201 North Adams, Coquille, Oregon.   Further information regarding the wall may be found at:  http://www.americanveteranstravelingtribute.com/
