    Chiloquin Community Calendars Friends of the Chiloquin Library put out the Chiloquin Community Calendar each year. It is one of our very important fund raisers. We fund several children’s programs plus other library projects. If you haven’t seen the calendar, it has a picture by one of the elementary students that is the winner of our art contest in the spring. It has business ads from local businesses, and on each day of each month there are birthdays, anniversaries, memorials and meeting notices. On the 2016 calendar, the picture will be artwork by 5th grader, Isabelle Hill. If anyone is interested in putting their family birthdays, anniversaries or memorials on the calendar it is only 50¢ per listing. We have a limited capacity for business ads but still have some room. It is a great way to advertise. If you would like to ask about an ad, put something on the calendar or order a calendar (they make great Christmas gifts and only cost $4.50 including shipping) please call the library at 783-3315 and leave your name and number to have a member of the calendar committee contact you. You can also sign up at the library to be contacted. If you ordered a calendar or put listings on the calendar last year, you will automatically be contacted by one of the calendar committee persons.

    A Rebuild Chiloquin fund has been created for anyone interested in donating. Checks can be sent to Chiloquin Visions in Progress, P.O. Box 204, Chiloquin, OR 97624. Please indicate on the check that it is for the Rebuild Chiloquin Fund. The money will be divided among all the businesses that had losses in the recent crime spree. It is hoped the fund will cover insurance deductibles and other uninsured expenses.

    The Sierra Service Project has finished in Chiloquin for another year.

    Transforming Chiloquin – one building at a time

  • Chiloquin, Oregon- Today, August 5, 2015, Klamath Tribal Chairman, Don Gentry, and other officials from the Klamath Tribes met with the U.S. Department of Defense and members of the Air Force Defense Production Act Program Office. Other Dept of Defense personnel included: James A. Neely, DPA Title III Project Manager and Jeffrey Smith, Air Force Executive Agent Program Manager. The purpose of the meeting was to provide Government-to-Government Consultation for the Advanced Drop-in Biofuels Production Program (Red Rock Biofuels Project based out of Lakeview, Oregon) and to provide an overview of the Project. Discussions focused on cultural matters that are of particular interest to the Klamath Tribes, and previous correspondence the Klamath Tribes have held with Red Rock in the past two years. Chairman Gentry also emphasized the importance of the United States Trust Responsibility to the Tribes and our MOA with the United States Forest Service.

    Note: This has been an on-going process and will continue with both the Department of Defense and Red Rock in the future. Buffler/Gentry pictured. *Photo by: Taylor R. Tupper- Klamath Tribal News Dept. Mark Buffler, Director Defense Production Act Title III Program -US Dept. of Defense, gave Klamath Tribal Chairman Gentry a commerative coin from the Dept. of Defense to acknowledge the relationship and continued process.

    Klamath Falls, Oregon – A short section of Forest Service Road 3100 on the Fremont-Winema National Forest is closed. Forest Service Road 3100 is formally known as Forest Service Road 3300. Water and debris caused significant damage to the Sevenmile Bridge. The Sevenmile Bridge is now unstable and unsafe for any traffic. The Sevenmile Bridge is located adjacent to the Sevenmile Guard Station. The road closure is roughly 25 miles northwest of Klamath Falls, on the Klamath Ranger District. Forest Service Road 3100 will be closed between its intersections with Forest Service Road 3134 and Forest Service Road 3200. The Sevenmile Bridge is also closed. The road closure will remain in place until a temporary bridge is built. A temporary bridge is expected to be in place by spring 2016. A date for a permanent bridge has not been set. If visitors are traveling on Nicholson Road, a detour is available by traveling south on Hackler Road, west on Sevenmile Road, and then north on Forest Service Road 3100. If visitors are traveling from Forest Road 34, a detour is available by traveling north on Forest Road 3100. Forest Service Road 34 is also known as Westside Road. Public safety will be improved by replacing the existing bridge.

Our priority is to engage representatives from all of the organizations in Chiloquin. We want to make sure all voices are heard and there is an equitable balance of diversity that reflects the social culture of Chiloquin. We are seeking representatives of various sectors in the community, including tribal, city, and county government, education, health and social services, religious organization, non-profits, and Chiloquin area residents. We know that solutions cannot be reached without engagement from all community stakeholders. Our first meeting is Monday, August 10th at 5:30pm; 204 Pioneer Street (YFGC Modular). Snacks and beverages will be provided. Please come support your community, and help develop effective strategies to improve the health and social wellbeing of Chiloquin. Your participation is the key to the coalition’s success. Please review the “Roles and responsibilities of a coalition member” prior to the meeting. We look forward to your input and participation.

  • A health advisory for Upper Klamath and Agency lakes and extended to Keno Dam from late July has been extended downstream to the California state line, according to an Oregon Health Authority news release. An additional sample collected from JC Boyle Reservoir contained toxins at levels that could be harmful to human health. Additional samples also found toxins at potentially harmful levels at Miller Island and Keno Dam (areas already covered by the advisory). The advisory the Oregon Health Authority’s Public Health Division issued July 28 now includes Upper Klamath and Agency lakes, the Link River downstream to Lake Ewauna, and the Klamath River downstream to the California border, including the Keno area and JC Boyle Reservoir. The original advisory was due to toxins at levels that could pose a risk to human health in Upper Klamath Lake. Continuous cold water conditions in Pelican Bay have prevented blue-green algae from growing in this location, so Pelican Bay is not included in this advisory. Routine water monitoring by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), United States Bureau of Reclamation and PacifiCorp has confirmed the presence of blue-green algae toxins. These toxins, called cyanotoxins, are present at concentrations in the water that can be harmful to humans and animals. In areas covered by the advisory, swallowing or inhaling water should be avoided. Drinking water directly from areas under advisory is especially dangerous. Skin contact with the algae can also cause rashes in individuals with sensitive skin. To find out if an advisory has been issued or lifted for a specific water body, visit www.healthoregon.org/hab and select “algae bloom advisories,” or call the Public Health Division at 877-290-6767. For health information or to report an illness, contact OHA at 971-673-0400.

    Filamentous green algae is not toxic Floating on the surface of clear water, duckweed is a plant, not algae.

    Edible blue-green algae, harvested from Agency Lake, has obvious small green threads floating in clear water

    When the water is green, it’s likely from toxic blue-green algae

  • By Tom Yulsman | August 6, 2015 , Discover Magazine It has been called “The Blob,” a gigantic patch of abnormally warm water sitting in the Northeast Pacific Ocean for months. And now, The Blob may have helped midwife a record-breaking bloom of algae stretching from Southern California all the way north to Alaska. The algae More about that warm water in a minute. But first, that giant algae bloom: It consists of tiny marine plants known as phytoplankton, and it is “laced with some toxic species that have had far-reaching consequences for sea life and regional and local economies,” according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Toxins from the algae are suspected to have contributed to the deaths of at least nine Fin whales near Kodiak Island, Alaska, in June, although a definitive cause has not yet been determined, NOAA says. There have also been reports of dead and dying whales, gulls, and forage fish in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, possibly connected to the algae. And over the past few months, according to NOAA: . . . extremely high levels of an algal toxin called domoic acid, which is produced by a group of phytoplankton called Pseudo-nitzschia, have led to closures of recreational razor clam harvests in Oregon and Washington, as well as closing of large portions of the Washington state Dungeness crab fishery and some of the sardine and anchovy fisheries in California.

    Average chlorophyll concentrations in milligrams per cubic meter of water for July 2015. The darkest green areas have the highest surface chlorophyll concentrations and the largest amounts of phytoplankton—including both toxic and harmless species. Vancouver Island is circled. (NOAA Climate.gov map based on Suomi NPP satellite data provided by NOAA View.) The map above charts average chlorophyll concentrations during July in the northeast Pacific, from Baja to Alaska. Have a look at Vancouver Island, which I’ve circled. Some of the deepest greens, and therefore highest concentrations of chlorophyll, are found there. But California, Oregon and Washington aren’t far behind! The Blob The abnormally warm water suspected as a culprit in the algae bloom doesn’t quite look blobbish right now — more like two giant patches: Okay, in the map below of sea surface temperature anomalies for today (Aug. 6, 2015), the warm patch off the west coast of British Columbia, Washington and Oregon, does look blobby. The other one, off California and the Baja Peninsula, is more irregular. (There’s also quite a bit of toastiness in between the two.) The warm water has shifted around a bit over the weeks, but it has been a persistent feature for a long time now. In fact, it began forming about two years ago. It also appears to have played a significant role in California’s record-setting drought.

  • You’ll also note that massive spear of warm water extending along the equator from South America across a good portion of the Pacific. That’s El Niño — and it’s continuing to get stronger. It has, in fact, been called a “Godzilla El Niño…

    So there you have it — exploding, toxic algae blooms, a Godzilla El Niño, and The Blob. If I weren’t such a weather weenie, I’d be bloody scared… I might add that El Niño and the Blob together like this constitute something that I don’t believe has been seen before. And so meteorologists and climatologists have been scratching their heads trying to figure out whether The Blob will interfere with a strong El Niño’s typical effects on weather. These include significantly boosted odds for copious winter precipitation in parts of California. Will Godzilla eat the blob? What would that even mean? (And would Godzilla get sick from the toxic algae?!) We’ll have to wait another few months to learn the answers.

    Klamath Falls, Ore. – This summer Fremont-Winema National Forest employees will be leading a number of interpretive wilderness hikes into the Mountain Lakes and Sky Lakes Wilderness Areas. These hikes are free and all ages are welcome to attend. Participants need to wear sturdy shoes or boots and bring a hat, sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses, binoculars, plenty of water and a snack or lunch. Dressing in layers works best because of the temperature variances that tour participants may experience throughout the day. Also, be prepared for mosquitos by bringing bug spray. If you are interested in attending one of the Wilderness Hikes, reservations are REQUIRED due to limitations on group size. Please call the Klamath Ranger District at 541-885-3400. Saturday, Aug. 15 – Nannie Creek Trail in the Sky Lakes Wilderness (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.) Difficulty – Moderate Take a guided hike on Nannie Creek Trail that starts at 6,000 feet and winds back and forth up a steep slope following the rocky contours through heavily forested slopes of Lather Mountain to the southwest. As the trail evens out, the forest becomes dense with lodgepole and western hemlock before arriving at Puck Lakes. This hike offers great opportunity for your guide to discuss backpacking in the wilderness and some tips on camping in our local wilderness. Participants are asked to meet at the Nannie Creek Trailhead at 9 a.m. The trailhead is one hour and 10 minutes northwest of Klamath Falls, Oregon. Take Oregon Highway 140 west toward Medford, Oregon, turning right onto the Westside Road just past Rocky Point, Oregon. Follow the Westside Road east, and then turn left onto Forest Service Road 3484. The trailhead is located at the end of the road and there is no fee required to park at the trailhead.

  • This week for Chiloquin from NOAA:

    The NWS Office in Medford, OR has issued the Red Flag Warning due to expected deteriorating fire weather conditions from Monday afternoon into early Tuesday morning. Gusty winds combined with low relative humidity levels will occur in the Shasta Valley. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms with lightning will also be possible during this time frame. Rainfall will accompany these storms but any lightning outside of the core of the storm will result in new fire starts. Gusty outflow winds from thunderstorms could result in erratic fire behavior and rapid rates of spread. This may quickly overwhelm initial attack resources. Extreme fire behavior is possible.

    Projected smoke for Monday and Tuesday

    The water vapor imagery Sunday morning shows the marine surge off to the west as well as increasing moisture aloft. A very dry region of air resides just to our south. The area of low pressure that will influence our weather most of the work week is visible just off to the northwest near Vancouver Island, B.C. We will see a chance of thunderstorms across the region as this low begins to slowly track to the south.

    US Forest Service firefighter killed while battling blaze in remote area near Lake Tahoe VALLEJO, Calif. — The U.S. Forest Service says one of its firefighters was killed Saturday evening in the Lake Tahoe area after he was struck by a tree while battling a wildfire. The agency says in a news release that the firefighter was hit about 5:30 p.m. while working in a remote area between the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit and Eldorado National Forest. The release did not identify him or provide an age. The Forest Service says a second male firefighter who was also injured in the incident has been treated and released from a nearby hospital. On July 30, a firefighter was killed by a wildfire in the Modoc National Forest while he scouted the area for ways to fight the blaze, officials said Saturday. U.S. Forest Service firefighter David Ruhl, of Rapid City, South Dakota, had been on temporary assignment since June in California, where he was an assistant fire management officer for the Big Valley Ranger District.

    Still picking berries, and cucumbers, zucchinis, beets, peas, broad beans, carrots, broccoli, cabbage. The Aronia bushes are LOADED with berries this year. Can’t eat them raw but they make a tasty jelly. The hummingbirds that are currently fighting over the flowers in the garden are mostly rufous hummingbirds. USFWS National Wildlife Refuge System: The rufous hummingbird, about three inches long, makes one of the longest migratory journeys of any bird in the world, as measured by body size. Its 3,900-mile, one-way trip from Alaska to Mexico is roughly equal to 78,470,000 body lengths. During its long migration, the hummingbird makes a clockwise circuit of western North America each year.

    It's tough to be a turtle, especially if you're a turtle in a developed area with roads to contend with. Box turtles are in slow decline & a large degree of this is due to being hit by cars. It can take one of these slow creatures up to 10 minutes to cross a road. Turtles are also very slow to breed taking 7-8 yrs to hit sexual maturity. That's a lot of years spent crossing roads before you ever get a chance to breed. Also turns out that a 50 yr old turtle may produce over 100 eggs in a lifetime BUT only 2 or 3 of its offspring will survive long enough to breed themselves. Very troubling is the fact that some people go out of their way to hit turtles, actually swerving to nail them. A Clemson University student (S. Carolina) was simply trying to study how to make roads safer for turtles to cross, but was shocked when people started TRYING to hit a rubber turtle he was using in the study. It ended up that 1 in every 50 cars hit or tried to hit the turtle.

  • WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND AN INJURED TURTLE: 1. If you can safely retrieve the animal, do so. Place the turtle in a box and keep it in a dark, quiet area indoors. 2. If there’s debris on the turtle, you can wipe it off with damp gauze, but do not rinse the animal with running water or immerse it in water. If there’s a limb injury, pack a piece of gauze over the limb and wrap gauze around it to hold it in place. 3. Do not offer the animal any food. 4. Call a wildlife rehabilitator or a wildlife veterinarian to evaluate the turtle for treatment (Photo of box turtle by Kerry Wixted)

    SPRAGUE RIVER SHERIFF’S CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE July 17, 2015

    Chief Deputy Marty Rowley reported that the Sheriff Office has had a very busy week.

    o There was a bomb at the jail, OSP White City defused it. The investigation is ongoing. It was an anti-personal device, definitely made to seriously hurt someone. This is a first for Klamath County.

    o Next we discussed the vandalism in Chiloquin at the beginning of the week Two juveniles are in custody, and working on getting the third one, who is now in Washington state. It will be up to the District Attorney and Juvenile, if they will be tried as adults. We need to get these kids involved in community programs, where they won’t have the desire to cause trouble.

    o Marty told us that the gate across Klamath Forest Estates Road is private property, so there is no access to the 44 Road, using this route.

    o We talked about the missing person, from Chiloquin a couple of weeks ago, he is still missing, Search and Rescue did a search of the area and the river, but did not find him.

    o School Resource Officers are getting more hours and rotating schools, so this helps get more coverage.

    o Be on the lookout for squatters and fire. If you see anyone burning anything, call 911. There is no burning anywhere now.

    o There is still no report concerning the Moccasin Hill Fire. o The group said “thank you” to the Sheriff Office for participating in our Pioneer Day

    More about open and closed range, there are loose horses in the estates, (closed range area), need to get pictures. If you see loose cattle, you can contact the state brand inspector to report that they are out. He can tell you who they belong to.

    Kelley Minty Morris told us how her first six months in office have been. o Her two main goals are still, as she promised, economic development and public safety. o She talked about getting a committee to help with the county budgetWe are getting real close to

    having airport service again. o A bit of discussion about the biomass plant going in near Lakeview. o Kelley explained the Blue Zone to us, and how exciting it is for Klamath Falls to be the first city in

    Oregon to become involved.

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.
