EXERCISE: Each Friday at 10 to 11 am - Tai Chi with Sandi Selk. See WEEKLY activities section for details.

Yoga practice (and I emphasize the word practice) will be held on Wednesdays starting January 21st at 10am

at the Chiloquin Community Center. Anyone interested, just show up on Wednesday with your yoga mat, a towel and or blanket, and if desired, a strap and yoga blocks. I so enjoyed Sandi’s Tai Chi practice and thought perhaps a yoga practice would be nice. Since I am way over 55, the practice is geared toward those over 50. No charge, but donations for CVIP will be gratefully accepted.

Any questions, call Lorna 541-783-2238.

GOOD NEWS: Sierra Service Project is returning to Chiloquin!!! Request for needed repairs forms will be here at the end of February. First team comes in April to finish the fence on 442 going out of town. BAD NEWS: The wood stove in the Methodist Church Parsonage (sponsor of SSP here) is missing its insides (ahem-they WERE there when it was rented) and needs a chimney sweep. We need either a new (used, certified, OK) stove, or donations to fix the one that's there AND a sweep. All are TAX DEDUCTIBLE. For more information: [email protected] subject:SSP

A lack of snow has again canceled the Chemult Sled Dog Races. The races, which are normally over the third weekend in January, were canceled earlier this month. Last year's races were also canceled because of a lack of snow. The most recent races were in 2013 and attracted about 35 teams.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has opened eight new streams to fishing with bait, hoping to get kids in Klamath and Lake counties interested in the sport. The eight streams — Annie Creek, Calahan Creek, Corral Creek, Fourmile Creek, Jackson Creek, and portions of Sevenmile Creek and Sprague River — are now closed, but they are scheduled to open April 25.

Community Calendars The 2015 Community Calendars are here at the library for those who have ordered calendars. We would like the calendars to be picked up as soon as possible. Be sure to have one of the staff cross off your name on the master list. There will be some extra copies for sale for $4.50 each. We want to give a big THANK YOU to our advertisers. You make it possible for FOCL to make our library such a great place to come to.

This week for Chiloquin from NOAA:

In 2014, the combined land and ocean surface temperature was 1.24°F (0.69°C) above the 20th century average, making the year the warmest since records began in 1880. The 20 warmest years in the historical record have all occurred in the past 20 years. Except for 1998, the 10 warmest years on record have occurred since 2002. The much-anticipated report by scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was confirmed by an independent analysis from the US space agency NASA that reached the same conclusion.

Annual temperatures since 1880 compared to the twentieth-century average. The ten warmest years on record (darkest red) have occurred in the most recent decades. Graph by NOAA Climate.gov, based on data from the National Climatic Data Center. Ocean surface temperatures were far warmer in 2014 than any year on record, especially in the northern Pacific. In April, westerly winds began spreading that very warm water out along the equator to the eastern Pacific and around to the Gulf of Alaska – releasing heat that had been locked in the depths for nearly a decade. The unusually warm waters shifted hurricane tracks, weakened trade winds, and led to widespread bleaching of coral reefs in Hawaii. Vast expanses of the north-western and south-eastern Atlantic, most of the Norwegian Sea, and parts of the central to southern Indian Ocean were also extraordinarily warm. Global sea-surface temperatures were 1.03°F (0.57°C) above the 20th-century average. Parts of the world that saw record heat included Russia, western Alaska, the western United States, parts of interior South America, parts of eastern and western coastal Australia, North Africa and most of Europe. Much of Europe and parts of North Africa sweated out heatwaves. Britain saw its hottest summer in three and a half centuries, where nearly every weather station set new records. Transport crews in Norway had to hose down

runways to prevent them buckling in the heat. Finns were warned they may soon face Decembers without snow. Australia had a series of heatwaves. Argentina was plagued by water shortages and power blackouts as extreme heat engulfed South America, setting new temperature records in Brazil and Bolivia. Record cold for the year was apparent only in some parts of the eastern and central United States

Another new adult wolf has been spotted in southwestern Oregon. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife caught an adult gray wolf on a game camera early this month near Keno. Biologists know it isn't OR-7, his mate, or one of their pups, who are in the same general area. “It just demonstrates that there’s a fair number of dispersing wolves out there that we assume are coming from Idaho or Northeastern Oregon. We're seeing these wolves pop up so far away from their known distribution area, and we are getting sightings in-between,” said John Stephenson, wolf coordinator with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Oregon. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2015/01/13/us/ap-us-wandering-wolf.html?_r=2

FCE (Family and Community Education) Meetings are the 2nd Wednesday 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. 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 2. Summer Reading Program: There are many opportunities during the summer to help out with this very worthwhile program. 3. 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”. 4. Help with sorting donations. 5. 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.

Chiloquin Visions in Progress (CVIP) CVIP operates the Chiloquin Community Center, the Chiloquin Learns After School program, the Writer in Residence Program, and is the contact point for the Chiloquin Area Community Resource Committees and their projects.
