In celebration of the National Parks Service Centennial, Britt is planning special concerts at Crater Lake National Park. On July 29 and 30, Britt's Music Director, Teddy Abrams, will lead 40 Britt Orchestra musicians, a 50-member regional choir, the Steiger Butte Drum, and brass and percussion students from SOU in performances of "Natural History", composed by Michael Gordon for the occasion. The only cost to attend is your paid park admission. Parking for private cars will probably be a real zoo, but free shuttle buses will transport into the park for the concerts scheduled for 2 and 5 pm on Friday, July 29; and 11 am, 2, and 5 pm on Saturday, July 30. Britt's marketing person says that there will be 200 reservations available on shuttles into the park for each performance. Don't know yet where the buses will pick up, but riders will be dropped at the rim, as the concerts will be at Picnic Hill in the Rim Village, with return down the hill immediately following each performance. Email Britt for info and/or shuttle reservations. [email protected]. Read more on their website www.brittfest.org. 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.” For more information: Dave Thompson, ODOT Public Affairs Manager, 503-860-8021, [email protected] 4 5 Photos and information by Taylor Tupper and Natalie Ball 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.
