ODOT reduces speed limit to 55 on four sections of U.S. 97, U.S. 20

A review after March’s speed limit increase leads to changes

(SALEM)—ODOT Deputy Director for Highway Paul Mather announced today that speed limits for two segments of U.S. 97 and two segments of U.S. 20 will be reduced to 55 mph. The changes will take effect when new speed limit signs are posted—expected in the next two to three weeks.

“Engineering analyses and review of crash data indicate that there are some areas where the speed limit should be lower,” Mather said. “We are implementing temporary speed zone orders that allow ODOT to reduce speeds in these areas as soon as signs can be posted.”

The four segments where ODOT is reducing the speed limit from 65 to 55 mph are:

• U.S. 97 from Madras to Terrebonne (about 16.5 miles) • U.S. 97 at the La Pine south city limit (1 mile) 3

• U.S. 20 from the Bend east city limit to Dodds Road (6 miles) • U.S. 20 from Vale to Cairo Junction (about 11.5 miles)

Speed limits increased on about 300 miles of interstate highway and about 1,200 miles of non-interstate highways March 1, following a new state law. ODOT traffic engineers performed initial engineering analyses and studied crash data on these roadways, reviewing both the characteristics of the road and how drivers reacted to driving at higher speeds. Criteria included speed, traffic volume, crash history and density of driveways and public streets connecting to the highway. This initial analysis led to today’s announcement to reduce speed on about 35 highway miles.

These temporary speed zone orders will last for one year. During that time, ODOT will refine the criteria; evaluate the performance of more highway segments; and discuss the analysis with the State Speed Zone Review Panel to determine if the changes should be made permanent.

“We will continue to analyze how drivers are reacting to traveling at higher speeds on highway segments with complex characteristics,” Mather said. “And when justified, we will recommend changing speeds on other segments.”

On Wednesday, June 8th, the Klamath Tribes held their annual root digging event near Bonanza, Oregon, at Willow Valley Rock Creek Campground.

Special "thank you" goes to the Klamath Tribes Culture & Heritage Department and Community Services for hosting this annual event. The day began early for set-up, then everyone drove to Willow Valley Reservoir to search for the elusive, but much coveted traditional food/root- known as Ipos (pronouned "A-pause"). It was a day of work, sweat, laughter, food, and fun! We encourage more participation next year and welcome all tribal members. Below are a few photos & memories from the "Mo dic wytas- Very Good Day!"

Elders, family and friends gathered at Rock Creek Campground. Ages 5 years to 84. Everyone had a great time.

The Traditional food we call Ipos (pronouned "A-pause"). Tastes similar to a carrot and potato mixed.

Natalie Ball called this shot: "Ipos- Big- Yummy- and Crunchy- Nevermind the dirt!"

But Penny Ulam calls it: "Why are you eating everything I'm digging? Harold Wright Jr and Perry Chocktoot hold the traditional style tool (umda) made by Perry out of Natalie ended the Yew wood and elk horn handle. day saying, " Why do we only have 5 in our We hope to see everyone again next year! Keep Bag?" in contact with Culture & Heritage for dates next year! Mother Nature sets the date. 6

MRS. OBAMA: Please, please, be seated. Good afternoon, everyone. It is beyond an honor and a pleasure to be with you all today. Of course, I want to start by thanking Hanna and Michael for their wonderful introduction. And I want to recognize all of the other outstanding student leaders who have graced us with their words today. I'm so proud of you all. I also want to thank the governors, the tribal leaders, elders, the board of trustees, along with the superintendent and your amazing principal, your teachers and staff. I wish I could meet you all, I wish I could spend a whole week with you. (Applause.) I also want to thank the Tewa dancers who performed for us today -- absolutely. (Applause.)

And of course, last but not least, to the class of 2016: You all did it! Woo! You're here! You did it! You made it! (Applause.) After so many long afternoons and late nights studying for exams, writing papers; after countless hours preparing to present your senior honors projects to your communities; after all those jalapeno nachos you ate at the EAC -- yes, I heard about that -- (laughter) -- you did it. You're here. You made it. And we are all so very, very proud of you. I love you all so much.

And today, I want just to take a moment once again to look around this beautiful auditorium at the people who helped you on your journey -- your families and friends, everyone in your school and your communities -- all the people who pushed you and poured their love into you and believed in you even when you didn't believe in yourselves sometimes. Today is their day, too, right? So let's, graduates, give them big, old, loud shout-out and love to our families. Thank you all. (Applause.) Yes!

And that's actually where I want to start today -- with family, in particular with my own family. I want to tell you about the people who came before me and how they made me who I am today. I am the great-great- granddaughter of Jim Robinson, who was born in South Carolina, lived as a slave, and is likely buried in an unmarked grave on the plantation where he worked. I am the great-granddaughter of Fraser Robinson, an illiterate houseboy who taught himself to read and became an entrepreneur, selling newspapers and shoes. I am the granddaughter of Fraser Robinson Jr., who left the only life he'd ever known to move his family north, seeking a place where his children's dreams wouldn't be so limited by the color of their skin.

And I am the daughter of Fraser Robinson III and Marian Robinson, who raised me and my brother in a tiny apartment on the South Side of Chicago, just upstairs from my elderly great aunt and uncle, who my parents cared for, and just blocks away from our extended family -- a host of grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins who were always in and out of each other's homes and lives, sharing stories and food and talking and laughing for hours.

And while my parents were products of segregated schools, and neither of them had an education past high school, they knew with every bone in their bodies that they wanted their kids to go to college. That was their mission from the day we were born. So my mother volunteered at our school so that she could make sure we were taking our studies seriously. And my father worked as a pump operator at the city water plant, saving every penny for our college tuition. And when my father was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis -- a disease that affected his muscles and made it hard for him to walk and even dress himself in the morning -- I remember he hardly ever missed a day of work, no matter how sick he was, no matter how much pain he was in.

And let me tell you, I will never forget the look of pride on his face and on my mom's face as I walked across the stage at Princeton University, and three years later at Harvard Law School to accept my diplomas -- degrees that have given me opportunities that my parents never could have dreamed of for themselves.

So, graduates, this is my story. And I'm sharing this with you because when I heard that -- when you were first brainstorming about who to invite to your commencement and someone suggested me or my husband, some of you thought that that was an impossible dream, that it just wasn't realistic to think that people like us would ever visit a school like yours. Well, today, I want you to know that there is nowhere I would rather be than right here with all of you. (Applause.)

Because while I might have grown up across the country, and while my journey may be a bit different than yours, when I learned about all of you, it was clear to me that our stories are connected, and that your values -- the values that infuse this school -- are the very same values that my parents handed down to me.

See, I learned respect from how my parents cared for my great aunt and uncle -- how my mother would wake up in the middle of the night to check on my great aunt, how my father would prop himself up against the bathroom sink each morning, leaning hard on his crutches, to give my great uncle a shave. I learned integrity from my parents -- that living a good life is not about being wealthy or powerful, it's about being honest and doing what you say you're going to do. It's about how you act when no one is watching, and whether you're the same person on the outside as you are on the inside.

My parents -- yes. (Applause.) My parents also taught me about giving back -- that when someone is sick, you show up, maybe with a home-cooked meal; when someone's down on their luck, you quietly slip them whatever's in your wallet, even if you're not doing so well yourself. And finally, my parents -- especially my dad -- taught me about perseverance. See, my dad had been an athlete his whole life, a swimmer and a boxer. But if he was frustrated or disappointed by his illness, he never let on. He just woke up extra early each day, slowly fastened each button on his uniform, and eased himself down the steps one leg at a time, to get to his job and provide for our family.

So, graduates, I wanted to be here with you at your commencement because your values are my values -- the values that carried me all the way from the South Side of Chicago to where I am today, standing before you as the First Lady of the United States. (Applause.) I also wanted to be here because your stories -- your achievements, your contributions and the story of this school -- inspire me.

As we all know, this school was founded as part of a deliberate, systematic effort to extinguish your culture; to literally annihilate who you were and what you believed in. But look at you today. The Native languages that were once strictly forbidden here now echo through hallways and in your dorm room conversations at night. (Applause.) The traditions that this school was designed to destroy are now expressed in every square foot of this building -- in the art on your walls, in the statue in your MSC building, in the Po Pay Day song and dance performances in your plaza, in the prayers and blessings that you offer in your heart room.

And the endless military drills and manual labor that those early students endured have been replaced by one of the best academic curriculums in the country. (Applause.) And over the years, you all have proudly represented this school in chess tournaments, and science and robotics competitions, and every kind of internship and leadership conference imaginable. And nearly all of you are going on to college. And as the superintendent said, you've earned more than $5 million in scholarships this year. That is breathtaking -- breathtaking. (Applause.)

And whether you're saying an ancient blessing over your hydroponically-grown crops, or using cutting-edge computer technology to understand the biology and hydrology of your ancestral lands, every day at this school, you've been weaving together thousands of years of your heritage with the realities of your modern lives. And all of that preparation and hard work, graduates, is so critically important, because make no mistake about it, you all are the next generation of leaders in your communities, and not years from now or decades from now, but right now.

Through your senior honors projects, you've already become experts on urgent issues like addiction and poverty, education and economic development. And so many of you have already stepped up to implement your projects in your communities, hosting a fun run to raise awareness about domestic violence and diabetes, leading a traditional foods cooking demonstration, supporting seniors and teen parents, and doing so much more.

And as you begin the next phase of your journey, please remember that your communities need even more of your energy and expertise. They need you to bring home additional knowledge and skills to more effective address the challenges your communities face. That's why it is so important for all of you to hold fast to your goals, and to push through any obstacles that may come your way. 8

And here's the thing: I guarantee you that there will be obstacles -- plenty of them. For example, when you get to college or wherever else you're going next, it's going to be an adjustment. College was certainly a huge adjustment for me. I had never lived away from home, away from my family for any length of time. So there were times when I felt lonely and overwhelmed during my freshman year.

And what I want you to remember is if that happens to you, I want you to keep pushing forward. Just keep pushing forward. And I want you to reach out and ask for help. I know your teachers tell you that all the time, but please understand that no one gets through college -- or life, for that matter -- alone. No one. I certainly didn't.

So the minute you feel like you're struggling -- the minute -- I want you to ask for help. Don't wait. Seek out a professor you trust. Go to the writing center or the counseling center. Talk to older students who know the ropes and can give you some advice. And if the first person you ask isn't friendly or helpful, then ask a second person, and then a third and a fourth. My point is, keep asking until you get the answers you need to get you back on track. Do you understand me? (Applause.)

I am so passionate about this because your communities need you. They need you to develop your potential and become who you're meant to be. And that goes for every student in here who is thinking about dropping out, who is feeling discouraged. Your community needs you. And more than ever before, our world needs you, too.

And you don't need your First Lady to tell you that. All you have to do is tune in to the news and you'll see that right now, some of the loudest voices in our national conversation are saying things that go against every single one of the values that you've been living at this school. (Applause.) They're telling us that we should disrespect others because of who they are or where they come from or how they worship. They're telling us that we should be selfish -- that folks who are struggling don't deserve our help, that we should just take what we can from life and not worry about anyone else. And they're saying that it's okay to keep harming our planet and using our land, our air, our water however we wish.

But, graduates, you all know that those are not the values that shape good citizens. Those are not the values that build strong families and communities and nations. You know this. So we desperately need your voices and your values in this conversation reminding us that we're all connected, we're all obligated to treat one another with respect, to act with integrity, to give back to those in need.

Now, I know that perhaps I'm asking a lot of all of you. And I know that sometimes all those obligations might feel like a heavy burden. I also know that many of you have already faced and overcome challenges in your lives that most young people can't even begin to imagine -- challenges that have tested your courage, your confidence, your faith, and your trust.

But, graduates, those struggles should never be a source of shame -- never -- and they are certainly not a sign of weakness. Just the opposite. Those struggles are the source of your greatest strengths. Because by facing adversity head on and getting through it, you have gained wisdom and maturity beyond your years. I've seen it in you. You've developed resilience that will sustain you throughout your lives. You've deepened a well of compassion within yourselves that will help you connect with and give back to others who struggle.

And most of all, you have taken your place in the long line of those before you whose continued survival in the face of overwhelming threats should inspire you every day of your lives -- every day. I'm talking about many of your ancestors who came together to lead a revolt, risking their lives to preserve their traditions. I'm talking about your predecessors at this school who defied the rules by speaking their languages and running away to attend ceremonial dances back home. And I'm talking about the leaders who reclaimed and reopened this school for you, rebuilding it in your image and the image of your communities. (Applause.)

Graduates, all of these people, and so many more, have worked so hard and sacrificed so much so that you could be sitting in these seats on this glorious day celebrating your graduation. And as we honor their legacy

9 today, I'm reminded of how some of your communities have seeds that your ancestors have been planting and harvesting for thousands of years, long before America was even an idea. (Applause.)

And just as they have been blessing those crops and lovingly preserving those seeds through storms and droughts, struggles and upheavals so that they could keep handing them down, generation after generation, so, too, have they handed down their wisdom, and their values and their dreams, fighting to save them in the face of unthinkable odds, spurred on by their devotion to those who came before them and those who would come after.

And, graduates, today, all of that -- all of that -- lives inside of you. All of that history, all of that sacrifice, all of that love lives within you. And you all should feel so proud and so blessed to have the privilege of continuing that story. Because with the education you've gotten from this amazing school and with the values that you've learned from your families and your communities, your big, impossible dreams are actually just the right size -- big. And you have everything you need to achieve them.

Now, of course, it won't be easy. But standing here today with all of you, I am filled with hope. It's the same hope I feel when I think about my own story -- how my great-great grandfather was another man's property, my great-grandfather was another man's servant, my grandparents and parents felt the sting of segregation and discrimination. But because they refused to be defined by anyone else's idea of who they were and what they could be, because they held fast to their impossible dreams for themselves and their children, today, my two daughters wake up each morning in the White House. (Applause.)

And every day, I try my best to pass down to my girls that same love and that same dreaming spirit that Marian and Fraser Robinson passed down to me, that same love and spirit that your ancestors passed down to all of you and that you will soon pass on to your children and grandchildren.

Because in the end, I believe that that is the true path of history in this country. It is long -- it is. (Applause.) It is long. It is winding. And at times it can be very painful. But ultimately, it flows in the direction of hope, dignity and justice, because people like you stand up for your values -- people like you who stay true to who you are and where you've come from, and who work every day to share the blessings you've had with others.

So, graduates, in closing, I hope that you will always remember your story, and that you will carry your story with you as proudly as I carry mine. I am so proud of you. I am so excited for you to continue this extraordinary journey. And I can't wait to see everything you'll achieve and bring back to your communities.

Thank you all. Love you. (Applause.)

YREKA, CA. – To protect public safety during salvage logging operations, the Klamath National Forest has temporarily closed specific lands within the Westside Fire Recovery Project.

The closed area burned over during the 2014 Happy Camp Complex fire. An earlier order closed specific roads within the area to protect public safety. This additional area closure is needed because significant hazards exist outside of the road areas due to the active salvage logging now in progress. Skyline and helicopter yarding pose risks to public users near the salvage harvest area.

The closure area includes National Forest land south of the Klamath River, west of the Scott River, east of Grider Ridge, and north of Bridge Flat. A small area north of the Klamath River, near Forest Road 46N85Y at the east side of Seiad, is also closed. A full description and maps of the closure area are available on the Klamath National Forest website (www.fs.usda.gov/klamath).

Special provisions are in place to keep the Pacific Crest Trail open where it passes through the west side of the closure area.

Exemptions to the closure order may be permitted, including access for owners or leasees of nearby private land. Anyone needing access to the specified roads should contact the Klamath National Forest Headquarters in Yreka (1711 South Main Street, phone 530-842-6131).

Draw Fire: Chiloquin, OR_ June 11, 2016 final update  The fire remains at 497acres. Today, fire fighters continue their mop up actions and will work to address any heat within the interior. It is early in the fire season and saturating this fire completely will minimize potential for reigniting.  The South Central Oregon Management Partnership (SCOFMP) Incident Management Team (IMT) 3, Incident commander Leland Hunter, will release management of the fire back to the Chiloquin Ranger District. We would like to thank the communities and the Chiloquin Ranger District staff for their support and hospitality.  Work will continue in the fire area for some time. Roads are dusty, despite efforts to water them down, making visibility difficult. The roads include FS roads 4584, 4582, 4990 and the Buck Horn Springs Camp area.  The fire is in the Telephone Draw area. It is six and a half miles SW of Rocky Ford Campground and six miles NW from the Head of the River Campground.  Before recreating in the forests and on your public lands please go to the following website and read the precautions for Adjective Class: Moderate, Industrial Fire Precaution: Level 1. http://www.scofmp.org/ifpl.html The Fire is 100% contained!

Pony Fire Morning Update: June 12, 2016

Happy Camp, CA -- The Pony Fire is burning on the Klamath National Forest, about 15 miles southwest of Happy Camp and west of Highway 96. The fire is now about 1,655 acres and 20 percent contained.

On Saturday, warmer and windier weather increased fire activity, with fire crossing containment lines above the Dillon Creek drainage on the southwest side of the fire. Aircraft dropped water and retardant into the evening to help slow the fire’s downhill growth into the drainage. The fire burned actively overnight on the southwestern flank, staffed for the first time by a night shift. Almost 900 firefighters are now working on the fire.

Warmer weather conditions are predicted for Sunday. Crews will continue efforts to contain the active southwestern flank by improving an existing dozer line which runs west toward the Dillon Creek drainage. Further south, they will scout for additional containment opportunities.

The fire is burning within the perimeter of the 2001 Swillup Fire. Dead fuels from that fire are driving much of the fire activity on the Pony Fire. Numerous snags and downed logs, as well as extremely steep terrain, make firefighting hazardous.

On the north and east sides of the fire, crews will continue to improve hand and dozer lines in preparation for strategic burning. They will also continue to lay hose and remove hazard trees from Pony Peak Ridge Road andl look for opportunities to protect the Crawford Vegetation Management Project, a 1,600-acre forest health and fuels reduction project.

Along Highway 96, firefighters will continue to work with landowners on contingency structure protection.

To ensure the safety of the public and firefighters, a Forest Closure Order is in effect for the Pony Fire area. The closure includes Pony Peak Road (14N39), Pony Peak Ridge Road (15N30), Dry Lake Road (15N28) and Bear Peak Road (15N19) from its intersection with Douglas Creek Road (15N24) continuing west to its end.

A public meeting is scheduled for Monday at 6 p.m. at the Happy Camp Grange. Fire officials will be on hand to provide an update and answer questions.

More information and maps of closed roads are available at the Klamath National Forest website (www.fs.usda.gov/klamath/).

Information, maps, and closures are also posted on Inciweb at http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/4769/.

The First Official Climate Refugees in the U.S. Race Against Time

National Geographic: Since 1955, the Isle de Jean Charles band of the Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw tribe has lost 98 percent of its land to the encroaching Gulf waters. Of the 22,400-acre island that stood at that time, only a 320-acre strip remains. The tribe’s identity, food, and culture have slowly eroded with the land.

Only Way Out The only way into or out of Isle de Jean Charles is on Island Road. In 1953, the year the road was built, land and thick marsh surrounded the road. At that time, tribal members could traverse the land around the road to hunt and trap. But erosion is eating away at the road today. Marks of sand and debris indicate where the water covers the road during high tide. If strong southerly winds persist across the island, the road will flood even on a cloudless day.

The island, which is thought to have been named after the father of a Frenchman who married into the tribe in the 1800s, is located deep in the southern bayous of Louisiana, about 75 miles (120 kilometers) south of New Orleans and 15 miles (24 kilometers) from the Gulf of Mexico.

The Arctic is getting greener, according to a NASA study that provides the most detailed look yet at plant life across the northern reaches of Alaska and Canada. In a changing climate, almost a third of the land cover – much of it Arctic tundra – is looking more like landscapes found in warmer ecosystems. http://go.nasa.gov/1XSHbx3

Enviroment Hamilton photo Warmer air can hold more moisture - that's 7% more for every degree it's warmer - which is not only why a really hot day can feel so sticky, it's also why climate change means more flooding. In only two weeks, here's some of the extreme flooding climate change has worsened around the world. France has seen the worst floods since they started keeping records.

The drought in California was correctly predicted by climate science and spells trouble for North American food production, and the drought in Syria collapsed 75% of their crop yields and played a major factor in the troubles there. Some areas that were previously wet are now too much so, and dealing with flooding. Other areas that were previously dry are now too much so, and dealing with drought. It's a complex system.

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife: Deer fawns are born in June and will often be left alone in the woods by their mother at this time of year while she feeds nearby. A wildlife biologist in Douglas County recently saw a mother deer leave her fawn next to the road to feed and he snapped this photo. Just a reminder to leave fawns and other young wildlife in the wild and never assume an animal is orphaned unless you see the mother dead. It’s advice ODFW staff across Oregon are giving out this time of year in hopes of keeping animals where they belong, in the wild. In Douglas County alone, biologists have recently taken half a dozen calls from people thinking a fawn was abandoned, and have had to place two fawns with a wildlife rehabber.

Don’t Wash Your Hands!

Almost 1 year ago, Tasha Sturm, a microbiology lab technician at Cabrillo College, posted this photo. It is a bacterial culture of her 8-year-old son’s handprint. She had her son place his hand on a large petri-dish after he was playing outside, and this is what grew! Amazing!

Tasha Sturm stated in an interview, “We have a large number of bacteria that live ‘with us’ that are beneficial. Some aide in digestion, make vitamin K, etc. People who are healthy come in contact with millions of bacteria every day without adverse effect. Coming in contact with bacteria actually strengthens our immune system.” She added, “Unless your kids have a health condition that requires you to be more vigilant let them have fun and get dirty; it’s what they need to develop a healthy immune system.”

Green Bee-Eaters on a winter morning in India by Gaurab Talukdar.

Discover Magazine: Like those breakfast cereals that look healthy on the box but have even more sugar inside than Cocoa Puffs, some rainforest trees engage in false advertising. It’s not their fault— it’s ours. Climate change has made their leaves less nutritious than they used to be. And the animals who live off of those trees don’t exactly have another store to shop at.

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.
