This is in response to the letter from Marty Bryant to the "fellow Chiloquin residents" I have read your comments to the Chiloquin residents and must disagree with you. I was also at that meeting and was concerned about financial spending and what we would get in return. I agree that we all pay enough taxes and should get more help, but it isn't going to happen. We know that the money collected will be used for Chiloquin Sheriff only. It will pay for the cars, fuel, uniforms, and the two full time deputies. We the people have a say in what are their prioties. My expense will be about $300 a year. I believe you know that everyone will be paying only .85 to $1.00 per $1000 value on their home. If your home is valued at $96000.00 then you pay $96 per year. I am sure you know that because you are a smart person. If your value is $50000.00 then you pay $50 per year. If your value is $600000.00 then you pay $600.00 per year. And my $300 a year will be a hardship on me, but the value to the town is great. In fact, because the area that will be policed is the fire district, you have more people helping. I moved here 10 years ago, when my husband and I retired. Our children follower us up here and our grandkids finished school here. They got jobs here and met their spouses here. We now have 4 great grandchildren in the area and number 5 expected in May. We have been involved in our church, the schools, the neighborhood watch, the taxes at the library, and the Chiloquin Chicks. I can walk down Chiloquin and see many people I have come to know and respect. So, please don't say I do not care. This is my home and my hometown. I will email our commissioners and tell them that this is one resident that wants to see a change. One that will make it easier to walk down the street day or night and not be afraid. One that the good citizens and children can have fun safely any time. One that would like to see the Skate Park, and good businesses in town. One that would like to see our present businesses be able to show more profit and respect. Thank you Judy Castronovo

Klamath Tribes Finding Bigfoot Episode-

Coming Soon April 7th, 2016! The confirmed time for the Klamath Tribes Episode is: Thursday, April 7th at 9pm both Pacific and Eastern Time. On the Animal Planet Station. Channel may vary depending on your carrier.

Back story: In November 2015, the Klamath Tribes Hosted Animal Planet for the television series FINDING BIGFOOT. The cast and crew was on location in Chiloquin, Oregon, for two weeks. While here, they met and visited hundreds of tribal members, heard stories, learned our history, and went on location with select members of the Klamath Tribes. It was good to listen to the stories and learn about what is known in this area as "the keeper of the woods" or in the tribal languages as: matah kagmi - Modoc Language, Yay' ahya'h?as- Klamath Language, Si-Te-Cah - Paiute

USFWS_Pacific Region: The arrival of White-Nose Syndrome in Bats in Washington state is a huge blow to bats in the Pacific Northwest. This is obviously bad news, but we know much more about this disease now that it has hit the west coast than when we did back in 2007 thanks to investments in research and potential disease treatments. You can learn more about the deadly disease at https://www.whitenosesyndrome.org/ Lava Beds National Monument: Two days ago, White-nose Syndrome was confirmed near North Bend, Washington. This is worrisome, and has encouraged our site to revise our screening methods. If you plan on visiting the monument in the near future, you will now be asked if you have been to ANY caves or mines in the United States or Canada outside of Lava Beds National Monument in the last ten years. If you have, then we will perform a ten minute decontamination of any gear that may have been contaminated.

This week for Chiloquin from NOAA:

USGS Volcanoes shared Alaska Volcano Observatory's photo. Pavlof Volcano (Alaska) began erupting on Sunday afternoon, March 27, 2016, sending an ash cloud to 20,000 ft. Ash was reported moving northward from the volcano. The Alaska Volcano Observatory raised the Aviation Color Code to RED and the Volcano Alert Level to WARNING. Pavlof Volcano is a snow- and ice-covered stratovolcano located on the southwestern end of the Alaska Peninsula about 953 km (592 mi) southwest of Anchorage. With over 40 historic eruptions, it is one of the most consistently active volcanoes in the Aleutian arc. Eruptive activity is generally characterized by sporadic Strombolian lava fountaining continuing for a several-month period. The nearest community, Cold Bay, is located 60 km (37 miles) to the southwest of Pavlof.

USFWS_Pacific Region Have you ever seen a swarm of bees glued to a car? How about attached to your barbecue or stuck to the bottom of your boat? Large numbers of bees swarming in a tree, in your garden or around your home, can be unnerving, especially if they establish a hive in your house or garage. Please DON’T spray insecticide or poisons on them. Bee swarms and nests can be safely managed if you follow careful procedures and get proper help. Learn more about protecting these honey producing pollinators at http://www.fws.gov/pollinators/

How two bikers are fighting to save sea lions in South Australia “I am convinced that man has suffered from his separation from the soil and from other living creatures of the world,” Gavin Maxwell writes in his preface to Ring of Bright Water. “The evolution of his intellect has outrun his needs as an animal, and yet he must, for security, look long at some portion of the earth as it was before he tampered with it.” In the early 1990s, the sea lion colony on Jones Island, at the mouth of Baird Bay, had shrunk to about 25 animals and with only a handful of pups being born each year the future looked bleak. Today, thanks to the tireless work of Alan and Trish and the presence of their eco-tourism business, numbers have risen to around 120 adult sea lions and Baird Bay has one of the healthiest birthrates of pups in South Australia — at a time when this indigenous species is under threat everywhere. Read the full story Badger Run Wildlife Rehab. Wanted to pass this article on. When I saw a recent piece on CNN about wolves killing 19 elk "for sport" I was puzzled. I've read a lot about wolves over the years & this just seemed like a stretch. I knew this is a wintering elk herd that is notorious for unhealthy animals, but it's fed & perpetuated by locals because it's a big tourist draw. Now that the experts are starting to weigh in it seems to be the likely scenario that the wolves were taking advantage of diseased animals for an easy, big kill to feed on over time. Please read this article for some insight. Wolves don't need more misinformation out there. http://nywolf.org/wolves-do-not-kill-for-sport-that-is-a-fact/

This koala was taken to a wildlife hospital at an Australian zoo, with her son holding on to her side. She had been hit by a car. Her little boy, only 6 months old, was luckily unharmed and refused to leave his mother. She suffered a collapsed lung that required emergency surgery. Her baby continued to hold on and wouldn’t leave her even during the operation. She survived the surgery and is currently recovering with her baby by her side.

Pfaff sewing machine - a model 2056 with many extra presser feet. Original Cost $2,000 Read this review: Product Review : Pfaff Performance 2056 Sewing Machine The Pfaff Performance 2056 is a fully-loaded, high-function sewing machine. There is a wide range of functions and features ideal for any quilting project. With such a high-performance sewing machine, the extent of its uses depends upon the sewer's skill.

16

Possibly the most impressive aspect of the Performance 2056 is the large high resolution touch screen that provides easy access to stitches and functions. From this panel, the stitch length or width may be altered, and machine operation programs may be run. Although some may find the machine's advanced technology intimidating at first, help is readily available. Recommendations on selecting a presser foot, setting tension, threading the machine or loading bobbins appears at a touch of the Info button. The touch screen is sensitive and may be operated by hand or by the stylus included with the Performance 2056. The screen is centered and conveniently positioned just below eye level. The functions accessible from the touch screen are of particular interest to quilters. The patchwork setting, for one, measures the length of the first patch sewn and actually repeats the same length with a tie-off stitch. With this function, blocks fit better into quilts as stretching and pulling apart is avoided. With the Needle Up/Down program, the needle remains in down while the presser foots automatically raises to simplify pivoting. Also notable is the vast selection of stitches the Performance 2056 provides. In all, there are 207 utility and decorative stitches. Quilters will be impressed to know that 16 hand-look quilt stitches, including 11 antique quilt stitches, are possible. 102 decorative stitches are programmed into the machine. There is also an impressive range of satin, overlock, cross and hem stitches, not to mention the 4 alphabets. With such a vast range of choices, there is very little that cannot be created on this machine. So many helpful automatic aids are available on this model. Programming the Automatic Presser Foot Lift raises the presser foot when sewing stops. The correct presser foot height is automatically set, as are optimum settings for stitch height and width. Quite useful for quilters is the constant needle piercing power. This is a great benefit when sewing slowly or through many layers of fabric. There are a number of conveniences built into this design. Particularly handy is the large compartmentalized accessory tray equipped with a Standard Presser Foot, Fancy Stitch Foot, Blindhem Foot, Rolled Hem Foot, Edge Guide/Quilting Guide, Buttonhole Foot, Darning Foot, bobbins, etc. Features Large high resolution touch screen provides access to a wide selection of programs : "Single stitch" program : Program the desired number of stitches or sequences. Sewing stops automatically and the seam is tied off. "Tie off" program : Automatically secure a seam's beginning and end. "Needle up/down" program : The needle remains down, and the presser foot is automatically raised for easy pivoting. "Patchwork" program : Seam lengths are captured and repeated for simplified block piecing. "Free-motion" program : A must for stippling, free-motion and darning. "Twin needle" : The screen indicates when a twin needle can be used. "Sew slow" function : Speed is reduced when sewing becomes difficult. "Express Sequence" function : Trial runs of a stitch sequences provides a nice preview of end results. Performance 2056 stitch package (including 9 mm wide stitches) - 4 alphabets - 207 utility and decorative stitches, including: 26 utility stitches 9 buttonholes 10 overlock stitches 102 decorative stitches 16 satin stitches 18 cross stitches 16 quilt stitches 10 hem stitches Memory : 50 memories are provided in which to save individual patterns and stitch sequences. Integrated Walking Foot : This feature, unique to Pfaff sewing machines, is a built-in walking foot. IDT guides the upper layer of fabric through the machine at the same rate feed dogs move the lower layer of fabric. The Performance 2056 is loaded with an impressive number of functions and conveniences. This machine is clearly designed with prolific sewers in mind. From the conveniently located thread cutter, buttons and touch screen to simplified bobbin winding and needle threading, the Performance 2056 is a dream sewing machine.

FCE (Family and Community Education)

Meetings are the 2nd Wed of each month at 9:30. Meetings are open to all. We have a pot luck each month along with the lessons presented by a member. For the location and directions to the next meeting, please call Sandie Bolyard at 541-892-2336. Locally, FCE raises money for college scholarships for our Chiloquin High School Seniors. Money is raised through fund-raising projects such as a Thanksgiving turkey dinner fixings raffle with tickets being sold at Kirchers Hardware; Christmas Boutique at the Chiloquin Community Center; Kaleidoscope of Learning at Mazama High School in Klamath Falls. We are very active in our community and you will find FCE volunteers at many local events. Oregon FCE is a non-profit organization of volunteers who have worked on such issues as improving sanitary requirements in hospitals, women’s labor laws, requirements for high school teachers, and funding for the state library. Nationally, we began the school hot lunch program and pushed for bookmobile libraries. FCE asked for and got money from the legislature to fund an OSU research study on the dental caries problem in Oregon. We’ve studied our county governments and monitored their activities; worked on county and state fair boards to improve their quality; sponsored programs on rural road safety, farm safety, home safety, bike safety, Defensive Driving courses, campaigns to get the drunk drivers off the road, and child seatbelt laws. Current educational programs focus on the environment, children and television, literacy, and global issues. Current concerns include addressing the growing need for food banks, for shelters for the homeless, and for reducing the violence against women and children. Oregon FCE members donate thousands of volunteer hours and dollars to these causes.

Chiloquin Branch Library - The library has many ways to get involved and many fun ways to contribute to your local community. Some opportunities: 1. Evening volunteer: The library is open until 6pm on Tuesdays, Weds and Thursdays. We would really appreciate a volunteer who could help us out with closing tasks for the last hour or so on these days (especially Tuesdays). 2. Story time: If you would like to read two or three stories to a small group or preschoolers, and lead them in a simple craft or activity, the library staff can use your help. 3. Summer Reading Program: There are many opportunities during the summer to help out with this very worthwhile program. 4. Honor collections: These are racks of paperback books, magazines and audiovisual materials that patrons may check out without a library card. By offering these collections, more people in the community can be reached and a greater diversity of materials can be made available without incurring the costs of cataloging and processing items for the general collections. The staff would like to have some help in keeping these racks orderly, attractive and relevant. Check with the librarian for information on how to “adopt a rack”. 5. Help with sorting donations. 6. Go through Books for Sale section and tidy it once a month or so. Stop in at the library and see what they need or give them a call at 541-783-3315.
