It is one of our very important fund raisers. We fund several children’s programs plus other library projects. If you haven’t seen the calendar, it has a picture by one of the elementary students that is the winner of our art contest in the spring. On the 2017 calendar, the picture will be artwork by 4th grader, Rose Penaloza. It has business ads from local businesses, and on each day of each month there are birthdays, anniversaries, memorials and meeting notices. If anyone is interested in putting their family birthdays, anniversaries, memorials or meeting notices on the calendar it is only 50¢ per listing. We have a limited capacity for business ads but still have some room. It is a great way to advertise. If you would like to ask about an ad, put something on the calendar or order a calendar (they make great Christmas gifts and only cost $4.50 including shipping) please call the library at 783-3315 and leave your name and number to have a member of the calendar committee contact you. You can also sign up at the library to be contacted. If you ordered a calendar or put listings on the calendar last year, you will automatically be contacted by one of the calendar committee persons. The Chiloquin Vector Control District monthly meeting will be held on Wednesday July 27 2016 6:30PM at the Chiloquin Community Center Conference room 140 South 1st Street in Chiloquin. The meeting includes a supplemental budget hearing to acknowledge the unexpected receipt of $31,533.11 from the Department of Justice for restitution payments from former Trustee Patrick Reed and other business to include our contractors report and bill paying.

The IFPL affects lands administered by the Fremont-Winema National Forest, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Lakeview District and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at Sheldon-Hart Mountain and Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge Complexes. The only Lakeview District BLM lands not included in this are those within the Klamath Falls Resource Area west of Langell Valley. This area is under the protection of the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF). For information on specific restrictions in areas under ODF’s fire protection, please visit http://www.oregon.gov/ODF/Fire/Pages/Restrictions.aspx. Under IFPL 2, the following fire prevention requirements are in place: 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: A long-handled, round point shovel with a blade not less than 8 inches wide. A pressurized chemical fire extinguisher no less than 8 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 IFPL s and all restrictions that apply to activities conducted on public lands. Failure to comply with the fire precautionary requirements may result in a violation notice. For more information on the IFPL restrictions, please visit www.scofmp.org/lifc.shtml. Fire danger in the area remains high and visitors are asked to be aware of their surroundings and to be prepared for changing conditions. This includes reporting visible smoke that could be from a wildfire. To report a fire, please call 911. In addition, many parts of the SCOFMP area this week have been under red flag warnings and fire weather watches with low relative humidity and strong winds, increasing the risk of wildfire – not only from lightning, but also human causes. The agencies ask that the public be careful with anything that can throw a spark while out on federal or state public lands. For more information on SCOFMP, please visit www.scofmp.org, on Twitter @scofmpfireinfo or on Facebook at http://facebook.com/scofmpfireinfo. 5 Catcher His Bad Horse, a 12 year old rider, showing how much fun he is having his first year of Indian relay horse racing (competing with the pros).

  • Conflict Deterrence Plan Rogue Pack 5/17/2021
    Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Area-Specific Wolf Conflict Deterrence Plan Rogue Pack 5/17/2021 General Situation OR7 dispersed from the Imnaha Pack in northeast Oregon in September 2011 and he became resident in eastern Jackson and western Klamath Counties in 2013. He found a mate the next year and they established the Rogue Pack in 2014. The Rogue Pack wolves have been intensively monitored with remote cameras and radio-collars from 2013 - 2021. Between 2014 and 2019, the year-end counts reflected a total of four to seven wolves in the pack. The pack counted as a successful breeding pair in 2014, 2017 and 2018, meaning at least two pups and two adults survived to the end of the year. After the disappearance of OR7 in late 2019, an uncollared gray male assumed the breeding male position. During the summer of 2020, the pack spent more time on the Klamath County side of their territory than past years. The breeding female, OR94, was radio-collared in September 2020. At the end of 2020, only three wolves remained in the pack territory. During the winter and spring of 2021, OR94 mostly traveled alone, while the other two traveled as a pair. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) confirmed four incidents of cattle depredation by Rogue Pack wolves in October 2016 in Klamath County. These events triggered the designation of an Area of Depredating Wolves (ADW) and the preparation of an Area-Specific Wolf Conflict Deterrence Plan (Deterrence Plan) to assist producers and landowners manage potential conflict with wolves.

  • Foundation Document Overview, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon
    NATIONAL PARK SERVICE • U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Foundation Document Overview Crater Lake National Park Oregon Contact Information For more information about the Crater Lake National Park Foundation Document, contact: [email protected] or (541) 594-3000 or write to: Superintendent, Crater Lake National Park, P.O. Box 7, Crater Lake, Oregon 97604 Park Description Crater Lake National Park—established in 1902—is in southwest Oregon in the south-central portion of the Cascade Range. The park ranges in elevation from about 3,800 feet to just over 8,900 feet at Mount Scott. Near the center of the park is one of its most spectacular features, Crater Lake. At 1,943 feet deep, it is the deepest lake in the United States. The lake is in a caldera, which was formed when the top of 12,000-foot Mount Mazama erupted and collapsed about 7,700 years ago. Over the centuries, the caldera has collected water from rain and snow to form the lake. The lake is about 5 miles in diameter and is surrounded by the jagged, steep-walled cliffs of the caldera left by the climatic eruption. The cliffs surrounding the lake rise from 500 to 2,000 feet above the lake’s surface. From the rimmed summit, the land slopes gradually downward in all directions. There are no inlets or outlets to the lake, and evaporation and seepage prevent the lake from becoming deeper. Crater Lake has no influent or effluent streams to provide continuing supplies of oxygen, nutrients, and fresh water and is considered a youthful lake with a high level of purity.

The tract will be added to the newly created Gilchrist State Forest and will be managed for sustainable forestry and public recreation, generating significant revenue for Klamath County. The highest priority acquisition for Governor Kitzhaber, it represents a unique and affordable ($341/acre) investment in Oregon's future. Protection would eliminate 40 miles of inholding border for the 2 million acres of adjoining public lands. It will strengthen critical wildlife corridors, protect a large aquifer recharge area for the federally-designated Wild and Scenic View of project from Buell Butte (Photo by Doug Decker (Oregon Deschutes River, and restore a mature Ponderosa State Forester)) pine forest, one of the highest priority habitats in Oregon's Conservation Strategy. Because of its prime location--close to Bend and abundant outdoor recreation--and permissive zoning (with destination resort overlay), this parcel is seriously threatened by parcelization and conversion.

  • USFWS (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). 2013. Summary of Bull Trout Conservation Successes and Actions Since 1999
    USFWS (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). 2013. Summary of Bull Trout Conservation Successes and Actions since 1999. Since the listing of bull trout, numerous conservation measures have been and continue to be implemented across its coterminous range. These measures are being undertaken by a wide variety of local and regional partnerships, including State fish and game agencies, State and Federal land management and water resource agencies, Tribal governments, power companies, watershed working groups, water users, ranchers, and landowners. In many cases these bull trout conservation measures incorporate or are closely interrelated with work being done for recovery of salmon and steelhead, which are limited by many of the same threats. Coastal Recovery Unit: In 2011, we published a final rule in the Federal Register to establish a nonessential experimental population of bull trout in the Clackamas River and its tributaries in Clackamas County, Oregon, under section 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Bull trout were extirpated from the Clackamas River basin in the early 1960s, and re-establishing bull trout in the Clackamas River basin will help achieve recovery goals within the Coastal Recovery Unit. Adult and juvenile bull trout were translocated from the Metolius River to the Clackamas River in 2011 and 2012, and the first spawning activity was observed in the fall of 2011. Additional translocations are planned to continue for several years. The Service and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife are conducting this project in coordination with Mt. Hood National Forest, the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation, Portland General Electric, NOAA Fisheries, and the U.S.
