Veronica Clematis Shasta Daisy Cupid’s Dart Correction: In the last issue I mistakenly put the number of antique planes flying into Chiloquin airport on July 17th as 2 or 3 when it should have been 12 to 15. My apologies to the Puget Sound Antique Airplane Club, but there’s still time, so come out and see them! The Native Plant Society of Oregon has scheduled a Native Plant Garden work day at the Klamath County Museum for Friday July 19. We will start at 8 am, and spend an hour or two weeding, trimming, deadheading, etc. Working in the garden is a great way to learn more about native plants and get better at ID. We also will have some Oregon sunshine, showy milkweed, yarrow, and Idaho fescue seeds available for those who want to add some native species to their own yards. Please bring your own gloves and tools. SMARTee at the Chiloquin Library GOOD NEWS and bad news for the SMARTee Auction at the Chiloquin Library. The GOOD news is that there are not many bids. That means the prices are really, really great. The bad news is there are not many bids. Stop by and see the great deals in the back room of the Chiloquin Library. So far here are the prizes: Basket of fishing treasures One week vacation at a WorldMark by Wyndham Condominium Necklace Pick-up bench seat re-upholstery Friday Market gift certificate for vegetables Fine art masks, ceramics, silk screen And New this week: a donation of floor mats and doggie tote bags ONLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS LEFT BIDDING ENDS July 31, 2013 We will be departing Prineville to Chiloquin for a lunch/mid-day stop.

Lakeview, Ore. – Effective Thursday, July 11 at 12:01 a.m., Industrial Fire Precaution Level II (IFPL) will be implemented on lands administered by the Fremont-Winema National Forest, Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Lakeview District and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) Sheldon-Hart Mountain National Wildlife Complex and Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The only Lakeview District BLM-managed lands not included in this order are those within the Klamath Falls Resource Area that are west of the Langell Valley. This area is under the protection of the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF). Information regarding restrictions that apply to ODF-protected lands may be obtained by calling (541) 883-5681 or visiting the following Web site: http://egov.oregon.gov/ODF/FIRE/precautionlevel.shtml Under IFPL II, the following fire precautionary requirements are placed on power saw operations: Power saws and welding equipment may not be operated between the hours of 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. All power saw exhaust systems must be in good repair and include a screen-type spark arrester of 0.023 inches or less. All power saw operators must be in possession of the following equipment: o A long-handled, round point shovel with a blade not less than eight inches wide; and o A pressurized chemical fire extinguisher of not less than eight ounces capacity by weight. Before refueling a power saw, the refueling spot must be clear of all flammable material, including vegetation. The chainsaw must be restarted only after the operator has moved away from the refueling area. All power saw operators must stay in the cutting area for one hour after the chainsaw is shut off to watch for fire starts. Personal and commercial woodcutters are reminded of their responsibility to stay informed of current IFPLs and all restrictions that apply to activities conducted on public lands.

Chiloquin, Ore. – Interagency fire crews have contained a fire burning in timber and brush northwest of Applegate Butte on the Fremont-Winema National Forest. The Slabhouse Fire was reported today at 3:45 p.m. just 10 miles northeast of Chiloquin, Ore. As of 9 p.m., firefighters were able to get a dozer line around the 34-acre fire and plan to begin mop up efforts tonight. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Forest officials want to remind the public that the fire danger level has increased in south central Oregon due to the hot, dry weather. “Dry grass, trees and shrubs can be ignited easily. With little moisture in the atmosphere and on the ground, a simple campfire or a discarded cigarette can cause a fire that can quickly spread,” said Kelly Lawrence, Acting District Ranger for the Chiloquin Ranger District. Enjoying working with fabric and teaching have been my abiding interests focus since my early 20’s. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Home Economics Education with a major in textiles and clothing from Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. Then I taught tailoring in high school Home Ec classes for two years. Way back then “Home Economics” was a subject taught in high schools. Now it is a phrase that is so old that not many people even know what it is! Quilting has been my mail creative focus since 2001. Making custom designed quilts continues to be of great interest to me. I have taught quilting classes from North Carolina to Oregon. My website, www.sandiquits.com has photos of many of my more than 168 quilts as well as patterns I designed.

    Overview for Geologic Field-Trip Guides to Mount Mazama, Crater Lake Caldera, and Newberry Volcano, Oregon Scientific Investigations Report 2017–5022–J U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Cover (top photo): View east-northeast from Garfield Peak on the south rim of Crater Lake caldera. Peak on skyline is 8,929 feet (2,722 meters) Mount Scott, an ~420 thousand years before present (ka) dacite stratovolcano considered to be part of Mount Mazama, the volcano that collapsed during the caldera-forming eruption ~7,700 years ago. The caldera walls in this view expose Mazama lava flows and fragmental deposits from as old as ~400 ka at Phantom Cone, adjacent to tiny Phantom Ship island, to as young as ~27 ka at Redcloud Cliff, the V-shaped face at the top of the wall left of center. The beheaded glacial valley of Kerr Notch, the low point on the caldera rim, is seen between Phantom Ship and Mount Scott. Photograph by Carly McLanahan. Cover (bottom photo): Newberry Volcano, Oregon, is the largest volcano in the Cascades volcanic arc. This north-facing view taken from the volcano’s peak, Paulina Peak (elevation 7,984 feet), encompasses much of the volcano’s 4-by-5-milewide central caldera, a volcanic depression formed in a powerful explosive eruption about 75,000 years ago. The caldera’s two lakes, Paulina Lake (left) and the slightly higher East Lake (right), are fed in part by active hot springs heated by molten rock (magma) deep beneath the caldera. The Central Pumice Cone sits between the lakes.

  • Hike the Parks
    Hike the Parks ~Rulebook~ Hello! Welcome to Hike the Parks, a U.S. National Parks game with authentic hikes and cool facts. Roll the dice to visit new states, territories and Park Sites; learn cool facts at the Visitor’s Center; go on hikes; and take pictures! Brief Summary: 1. The winner is the first player to reach 200 Joy. Change the amount to shorten or lengthen the game. 2. Joy is earned by going on hikes, taking pictures while on hikes, meeting nice hitchhikers and optionally earning badges along the way. 3. Players roll two die to travel to different U.S. states. For example, if a 2 & 3 is rolled, a player can move across a maximum of 5 state borders to visit a park for that turn. If a player only crosses 3 of the 5 allowed borders for that turn, the remaining 2 CANNOT be carried over to another turn. 4. A player gains one Energy and one Water for each state border crossed on their turn. For example, traveling from Washington to Alaska gains two Energy and two Water. 5. After crossing at least one border, a player must draw one On the Road card for that turn. If the player remains in the same state, they do not need to pick up an On the Road card. 6. After visiting a new state or deciding to stay in the same state, a player may visit one Park Site (or stay in the same Park Site) and “visit its Visitors Center” by drawing a Visitor’s Center Trivia card to learn about a random National Park Site.

  • Mount Mazama and Crater Lake: a Study of the Botanical and Human Responses to a Geologic Event
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Robyn A. Green for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Geology. Botany and Plant Pathology. and Anthropology presented on June 3. 1998. Title: Mount Mazama and Crater Lake: A Study of the Botanical and Human Responses to a Geologic Event Abstract approved: / Robert J. Lillie Crater Lake, located in the southern Cascade mountains of Oregon, is the seventh deepest lake in the world. Unlike a majority of the deepest lakes in the world, found in continental rift valleys, Crater Lake is in the caldera of a volcano. For the young at heart and mind, those willing to descend (and ascend) about 700 feet to Cleetwood Cove can undertake a boat tour of Crater Lake. From the boat, Crater Lake is more than just a beautiful blue lake; it becomes the inside of a volcano, where the response of people and plants to a geologic event can be investigated. The catastrophic eruption of Mount Mazama 7,700 years ago affected both plant and human populations. Before pumice and ash from the volcano blanketed the landscape like freshly fallen snow, the forests to the east of Mount Mazama were dominated by ponderosa and lodgepole pine. Within the immediate vicinity of the volcano all life was obliterated; the force of the eruptive material toppled vegetation and buried it with ash and pumice. Through the recovery process of succession, life has slowly returned to Crater Lake. Forests surrounding the lake are now dominated by mountain hemlock, whitebark pine, and lodgepole pine. These plants not only depict the process of succession, but also of adaptation to a volcanic environment.
