Chiloquin Vector Control District The Board of Trustees for the Chiloquin Vector Control District will be meeting on Wednesday July 26, 2017 6:30PM at the Chiloquin Community Center, 140 S.1st Street in the conference room. The public is always welcomed to attend our meetings.

The agenda includes bill paying and mosquito issues. The CVCD has been light trapping for mosquitoes throughout the District. The mosquito count has been surprisingly low while the numbers of other biting insects such as no see um have been higher than last year. Folks in the South end of the District are experiencing mosquito issues whenever the grass is cut and bailed. Mosquitoes love to reside in high grass areas.

Sheriff Kaber met with Chiloquin citizens and discussed the recent assault with a weapon. He has hired 15 new employees since January. There are still 5 patrol vacancies and 3 correction to be filled. Several patrons expressed that they notice an increase in visibility, which meets one of the Sheriff’s goals. Sheriff Kaber also encouraged any citizens with issues to bring them to our monthly meetings. --John Rademacher--

The railroad crossing at Modoc Pt. Rd. & Hwy 97 will be closed Wed., July 26, 2017.

Crater Lake National Park: The remaining closed portion of East Rim Drive opened on Saturday July 22. All roads are now open.

The price of the lifetime - America the Beautiful - National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Senior Pass will increase from $10 to $80 on August 28th. To qualify for a Senior Pass the individual must be at least 62 years of age and a United States citizen or permanent resident.

Wildlife Biologist Amy Markus, 541-947-6256 Website Offers Fire Prevention, Forest Health Resources KLAMATH FALLS, Ore.—Klamath and Lake County landowners can learn how to reduce fire danger and improve forest health on their land by viewing the new Klamath-Lake Forest Health Partnership website at https://www.klfhp.org/ The Klamath-Lake Forest Health Partnership (KLFHP) has been actively addressing forest health issues in Klamath and Lake Counties since 1993. It is a non-profit organization comprised of private forest landowners, forestry consultants, conservation groups, local fire districts, and state and federal agencies. Their new website offers landowners more than 200 Oregon State University Extension Service forestry publications. It also includes wildfire preparedness and forest health guides specific to Klamath and Lake Counties. Landowners can also contact the OSU Klamath Basin Research and Extension Center at 541-883-7131 for information. The website lists contact information for forestry consultants, forest thinning crews, biomass utilization contractors, horse loggers, and fire suppression and prescribed fire companies. It also has links to more forestry resources from Oregon Small Woodlands Association and Oregon Tree Farm System websites. The KLFHP is using the website for landowner outreach and education efforts tied to the North Warners Project, located about 12 miles north of Lakeview; Gerber/Paddock Butte Project, located 10 miles south of Bly; and Chiloquin Community Forest and Fire Project, located around the community of Chiloquin. The Chiloquin Community Forest and Fire Project is the partnership’s latest effort, involving 30,000 acres owned by about 3,200 individual landowners. Both the Chiloquin and Klamath County Community Wildfire Protection Plans identify the project area as high-risk for wildland fire.

The KLFHP intends to use a multi-pronged approach to contact landowners, educate them about fire

resistance and ultimately implement cross-boundary treatments on private land adjacent to the Fremont-Winema National Forest. Their objectives include developing a landowner list, creating a fire response map, prioritizing treatment areas, and assisting landowners interested in fire prevention and forest health treatments. KLFHP members will begin contacting Chiloquin-area landowners this summer through telephone calls, direct mail, email, social media and workshops. They hope to foster landowner interest, obtain contact information and offer to complete forest health inventories of individual lots. Oregon State University Extension Service funds are now available to conduct inventories and fire risk mapping that can provide landowners forest health information and recommended treatments in Chiloquin. The KLFHP invites local forest landowners to attend its next monthly meeting, which will be held in Klamath Falls on Thursday, July 27 from 9 a.m. until noon in the Oregon Department of Forestry office at 3200 Delap Road. Participants will discuss efforts to implement all-lands, cross-boundary approaches to treating public land managed by the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, while exploring ways to simultaneously treat forestland owned by adjacent private landowners.

COOS BAY, OR -The Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians (CTCLUSI) this week became the first in Oregon to join the dental therapy movement, hiring dental therapist and CTCLUSI member, Naomi Petrie to provide oral health services in the community. CTCLUSI is turning to dental therapists to make dental services available to tribal members who have long done without timely dental care in their own communities. Similar to the way nurse practitioners and physician assistants work with doctors, dental therapists work with dentists—either on site or remotely—to reach more people. Dental therapists deliver a core set of preventive and restorative services, including fillings and simple extractions. On average, Indian Country has less than half the dentist-to-population ratio of the national average, and about one-fifth of the dental positions within the Indian Health Service are vacant. A recent study in the journal Health Affairs estimated that 2,825 American Indian or Alaska Native (AI/AN) dentists would be needed to eliminate national shortages of minority dentists. “I’ve known Naomi Petrie since her involvement in the National Indian Health Board's Tribal Youth Health Advisory Fellowship. Naomi will be a fantastic addition to the CTCLUSI oral healthcare team, just like dental therapy will be a fantastic addition to tribes across the nation struggling with poor oral health,” said Stacy A. Bohlen, executive director of the National Indian Health Board. “Oral health is in a state of crisis in Indian Country, and innovative solutions like dental therapy work. They fill gaps in the provider shortages, reduce long wait times, and provide culturally competent care.” CTCLUSI is the latest to join the dental therapy movement. Dental therapists began practicing in Alaska and Minnesota a decade ago. Alaska’s program has expanded care to more than 45,000 Alaska Natives in need of preventive and restorative care. Dental therapists have since been authorized to practice in Maine and Vermont, as well as in Washington in tribal communities. Twelve states are currently pursuing legislation to enable dental therapists and numerous tribes have passed resolutions in favor of adding these mid-level providers to dental teams. Naomi Petrie, who began work at CTCLUSI’s dental clinic on July 17, is the first Oregon student to graduate from the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium’s dental therapy education program and return home to practice. Oregon authorized dental therapists to practice in several tribal communities as part of their Dental Pilot Project Program, assessing innovative models to expand access to dental care across the state. CTCLUSI is 1 of 3 sites partnering with the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board to train and employ dental therapists under this pilot. The Coquille Indian Tribe and the Native American Rehabilitation Association currently have students in training in Alaska, and CTCLUSI has a second student in training. Native communities have some of the poorest oral health outcomes of any population group in the United States. Federal data for Washington, Oregon and Idaho show that American Indian children suffer tooth decay at rates 3 times the national average. The dental therapist model creates a career pathway for young people from underserved communities. Dental therapists tend to be recruited by their home communities and return to practice in those same areas after completing their education. As a result, the care they provide is not only high-quality but responsive to the needs of the community. “The suffering from oral health issues in the AI/AN population is unacceptable,” said Joe Finkbonner, executive director of the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board. “This pilot aims to turn the tide on that disparity,

create a sustainable solution to the oral health crisis facing our communities, and provide a roadmap for all of Oregon to follow and learn from our experiences.” This summer, 7 more students from Oregon, Washington and Idaho will join their Alaska peers and begin their 2-year dental therapy training with the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium’s dental therapy education program in Alaska. The program’s recent affiliation with Ilisagvik College in Barrow allows students the opportunity to earn a degree, and apply for scholarships and federal student aid.

A Signing Ceremony for SB 144-A was held in Salem, Oregon at Oregon Governor Kate Brown's Office, at the end of June, 2017. Klamath Tribal Culture and Heritage Director and Tribal Council Member, Perry Chocktoot, was on location with other Oregon Tribal Officials and Delegates for the signing in June. The bill prohibits taking of artifacts from state public lands and also allows the Oregon Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute if the district attorney declines to prosecute these cultural resources crimes. Tribes and several state agencies as well as the state-tribal cultural resources cluster have been discussing and working on this process for many years. It has also been a long-term topic and issue of concern for LCIS - the (Legislative Commission on Indian Services). Our thanks to LCIS Member-Legislators who sponsored the bill. The bill passed 29-0 (1 excused) in the Senate and 53-0 (7 excused) in the House. The bill (SB 144) takes effect January 1, 2018. This is great news and "Thank you" to everyone for all your time and hard work on this important process to protect our Culture and Sacred sites.

On Sunday, July 16, Klamath Tribal Representatives, Council Members and Tribal Chairman, Don Gentry, met for the first time with U.S. Interior Secretary, Ryan Zinke. The Klamath Tribes voiced their support for the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument expansion — among other important topics. The meeting was held over the past weekend in Medford Oregon at the Bureau of Land Management office, Gentry also invited Zinke to visit the Tribes homeland in the Klamath Basin, and requested action on the termination of Upper Klamath Basin Comprehensive Agreement. Chairman Gentry said, "We had a chance to introduce ourselves and talk about the Klamath Tribes, who we are, and what our main interests are in regard to restoring fisheries and other (1864) Treaty resources that are important to the Tribes." Talks continued Monday, July 17, with U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s Deputy Commissioner Alan Mikkelson, who met with Gentry and other local officials. Mikkelson was in Klamath Falls this week also to meet with Upper Basin landowners, and with the Klamath Irrigation District board of directors. “We were interested in meeting Mr. Zinke and finding out what his role is in addressing Klamath Basin issues,” Gentry said of Zinke. “It’s encouraging to have a face-to-face meeting with the secretary because of their significant role in meeting the trust obligation to the Tribes established through our Treaty of 1864.” Among those interests, are continued support by the Klamath Tribes for the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and its expansion. “We believe that the area is unique and that the area needs to be considered for ecological and other values it provides, or that the management for that area needs to consider being considerate of the values in ecological significance it provides,” Gentry said. Gentry said the meeting also served to set a foundation for continued work toward goals of restoration of land by the Tribes. “We do want to discuss the Upper Klamath Basin Comprehensive Agreement negative notice,” Gentry said, adding that Mikkelson will likely play a role in such talks.

The Tribes and Upper Basin irrigators have undergone “meet and confer” procedures and mediation efforts in regards to the agreement, but have not come to a consensus to maintain the agreement that was part of the now dissolved Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement (KBRA). Many Upper Basin irrigators oppose the termination of the agreement and continue to pursue a resolution for a sustained agreement. “To terminate that agreement, which was dependent upon successful legislation of the KBRA … the last final step is a letter of negative notice from the Secretary of Interior,” Gentry said. “We want to find out the status,” he said. Gentry and others met with Mikkelson Monday afternoon in Chiloquin, where more could be discussed about the process associated with terminating the pact. Mikkelson also toured parts of Crain Creek, a riparian project in the Wood River valley Monday with Randall Kizer, president of the Landowner’s Entity, and other officials. Kizer hopes to meet with Mikkelson this week on the subject of the Upper Basin pact. Gentry said Zinke was “open” to visiting the Klamath Basin in person in the future though no specific dates have been given. At the conclusion of the meeting, Tribal Vice-Chairwoman, Gail Hatcher, provided Secretary Zinke with visual glass jars full of water from the Spring Creek headwaters, Agency Lake, and Upper Klamath Lake. The demonstration showed the over-whelming contrast in water quality that has a negative impact on our fisheries. The clean water at Spring Creek showed plainly the shocking contrast in water quality in the other two locations. For more information contact: Tribal Government at 1-800-524-9787

Ruling: Trump administration shortcut environmental review; Court seeks additional briefing on whether to shut down pipeline – Washington, D.C. — The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe won a significant victory in its fight to protect the Tribe’s drinking water and ancestral lands from the Dakota Access pipeline. A federal judge ruled that the federal permits authorizing the pipeline to cross the Missouri River just upstream of the Standing Rock reservation, which were hastily issued by the Trump administration just days after the inauguration, violated the law in certain critical respects. In a 91-page decision, Judge James Boasberg wrote, “the Court agrees that [the Corps] did not adequately consider the impacts of an oil spill on fishing rights, hunting rights, or environmental justice, or the degree to which the pipeline’s effects are likely to be highly controversial.” The Court did not determine whether pipeline

operations should be shut off and has requested additional briefing on the subject and a status conference next week. “This is a major victory for the Tribe and we commend the courts for upholding the law and doing the right thing,” said Standing Rock Sioux Chairman Dave Archambault II in a recent statement. “The previous administration painstakingly considered the impacts of this pipeline, and President Trump hastily dismissed these careful environmental considerations in favor of political and personal interests. We applaud the courts for protecting our laws and regulations from undue political influence and will ask the Court to shut down pipeline operations immediately.” https://www.theindigenousamericans.com/2017/07/16/victory-standing-rock-sioux-tribe-court-finds-approval-dakota-access-pipeline-violated-law/

Now, two bodies have been discovered in a shrinking glacier by a worker from a ski-lift company, according to Swiss media, and they are believed to be the couple who disappeared some 75 years ago. Read the story Local details other recent discoveries of long-missing persons found as the glaciers shrink:

"In 2012 the remains of three brothers who disappeared in 1926 were found on the Aletsch glacier in the Valais.

"In 2015 the bodies of two young Japanese climbers who disappeared in 1970 were found at the foot of the Matterhorn glacier, also in the Valais.

"And last year the remains of a 36-year-old German skier who went missing in 1963 were uncovered at the Morteratsch glacier in the Graubünden."

France’s Opal Coast is studded with pristine, sandy beaches that overlook the deep blue waters of the English Channel. But over the past week, this picturesque stretch of land was marred by yellow, spongy clumps that washed ashore in droves. The weird, fluffy balls numbered in the hundreds of thousands, affecting several beaches along the coast The materials were analyzed at the Cedre Association, which specializes in testing hydrocarbon pollution. The results of the test suggest that the “sponges” are actually paraffin wax, a derivative of petroleum, coal or oil shale. The substance is often transported in large quantities by tanker ships, and because it floats, will rise to the top of the water and wash ashore in clumps. Read more The biggest cavern in Vietnam’s River Mountain Cave is so massive it could accommodate a Boeing 747. The mesmerizing flight takes viewers through the cave’s extensive cavern systems, where the cave walls reach 500 feet floor to ceiling. The subterranean wonder is so large, it’s been documented to harbor its own weather patterns including clouds, fog and wind currents that drift through the cavernous halls. The unregulated harvesting has ravaged a once pristine area and is slowly turning it into a wasteland. There is a native people group in the area that depends on the land for farming. Their way of life and livelihood is also in jeopardy. Deboobt made this film, to raise awareness for the beauty of nature in general and to the plight of the native people groups living near River Mountain Cave. Watch the video

Queen Anne's lace (Daucus carota), the wild plant from which carrots were selected, produces a large, dark purple, sterile flower in the center of its umbels in midseason. These sterile flowers have been shown to mimic a dead fly, which attracts other flies that can serve as pollinators.

Satanic Leaf tailed gecko (Uroplatus phantasticas) a species of gecko indigenous to the island of Madagascar. A nocturnal reptile, the leaf-tailed gecko moves about its rainforest habitat at night feeding on insects. The leaf-tailed gecko is an expert at avoiding predators, through their incredible mimicry, and also a number of behaviours. They can flatten their body to reduce the body’s shadow, open their jaws wide to show a frightening, bright red mouth, and voluntarily shed their tail in order to trick a predator.

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.

Grief Support Meeting We generally meet the 3rd Wednesday of each month at the Chiloquin Christian Center from 2:30 to 4 pm.

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”.
