Chiloquin Community Calendars
Friends of the Chiloquin Library put out the Chiloquin Community Calendar each year. 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 public is always welcomed to attend and talk with Board Members. If you have mosquito issues, please call 541 274 0132 and leave your name, telephone number and address. You may consider visiting our web page at www.chiloquinmosquito.org and leave a service request.

LAKEVIEW, Ore. – Effective at 12:01 a.m. Friday, July 22, the Industrial Fire Protection Level (IFPL) will be elevated to Level 2. 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.

These are 4-day (3-night) residential camps at KOSS's camp in Sun Pass State Forest, directly across the Sun Pass Road from Kimball State Park, near Ft. Klamath. Limited scholarships are available for the Artists and Scientists camps through a grant from the Klamath County Cultural Coalition.
We are also planning a nature art overnight camp/workshop for adults and teens 16 & up on July 29 & 30. (From 1 pm Fri thru 3 pm Sat.) This will be taught by artist Roxanne Stout of Keno, author of Storytelling with Collage, and will feature nature journaling and collage with natural materials. All meals provided.
Also, KOSS is planning to resume building its camp facilities (kitchen/dining hall and restroom) this summer, after receiving a grant from the Oregon Community Foundation for this purpose. Other funds must be raised to complete construction, however. KOSS has a GoFundMe page where donors can contribute to this effort, at gofundme.com/2329jes.

National Geographic The words “Russian salt mine” don’t usually make you think of stunning images. Unless, of course, you’ve seen a sylvinite mine. The rock-salt mixture has been found on every continent except Australia and Antarctica. The deposits are in places that millions of years ago were covered by seas and oceans that left behind layers of salt.

Avalanche in Tibet: 9 people caught in the northwest of the country Nine people died in Tibet overwhelmed by an avalanche in the Rutog region, in the northwest of the country: the local authorities announced, specifying that the victims were all residents of a village in Ngari Prefecture, over one thousand kilometers from the capital Lhasa. The area where the avalanche occurred is a remote northwestern region, inhabited by farmers and shepherds, with average altitude of 4,500 meters. The snow has buried 350 sheep and 110 yaks and, according to local sources, on the surrounding glaciers cracks have appeared that have forced the evacuation of several families because of the danger of new avalanches.

This man began planting a forest in 1979—and now it’s the size of Central Park. Since 1979, Jadav Payeng has been planting hundreds of trees on an Indian island threatened by erosion.
In this film, photographer Jitu Kalita traverses Payeng’s home—the largest river island in the world—and reveals the touching story of how this modern-day Johnny Appleseed turned an eroding desert into a wondrous oasis.

Rescued Baby Sloths In her new book, Slothlove, photographer Sam Trull brings us inside a sloth rehab center in Costa Rica. They may always be grinning, but sloths— those cuddly, shaggy couch potatoes of the animal kingdom—are in trouble.
The six species that live in Central and South America are either endangered or declining fast due to people encroaching on their habitat. "I moved to Costa Rica to work with primates. Then I met my first sloth"—and the rest is history, she says.

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.

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.
