No longer serving breakfast.

The Klamath and Western Railroad will be having its annual PUMPKIN EXPRESS on Saturday, October 21st and 28th from 10 AM to 3 PM. Trains rides are free to the public. Donations are appreciated. There will be pumpkins for sale for $3.00 at the pumkin patch.

The North Entrance Road at Crater Lake National Park has re-opened. But why was it closed for almost a week? Fire crews have been strengthening the road as a fire break by "chipping." This difficult work involved many fire fighters and lots of heavy equipment on the road. Crews began by marking protected trees like whitebark pines and clearing duff from them to shelter them from fire. Other dead and downed wood was cleared from the area near the road. Standing trees of non-protected species were limbed close to the ground to prevent the rapid spread of fire up single trees. The wood was then chipped for easier removal.

From the Herald & News: CHILOQUIN — Sunday, at 12:03 a.m., 911 dispatch received reports of a shooting on the bridge in Chiloquin. Law enforcement response located the deceased victim on the bridge over the Williamson River in downtown Chiloquin. Family was contacted and informed of the tragedy.

The victim was Arnie Lee Eggsman, 32 years old, of Chiloquin.

The Major Crime Team was activated. Witness statements led to identification of suspects. Suspects are currently at large. The Oregon State Police, Klamath County Sheriff’s Office, Klamath Falls City Police Department, Klamath Community Corrections and Klamath Juvenile Department are all involved in the ongoing investigation. Yet another long, intense weekend for those who protect and serve our community.

Deepest sympathy is extended to the Eggsman family, the press release from Klamath County District Attorney Eve Costello said.

Richard Kopczak

Richard Raymond Kopczak passed away on Sept. 4, 2017, at his home in Chiloquin, Ore. Close friends were with him at the time of his passing. He had been under medical care for some time from complications of diabetes.

He was born Sept. 25, 1933, in Ambridge, Pa. He was the fourth child of Joseph J. Sr. and Mary F. (Bienia) Kopczak. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his sisters, Marie and Florence K. Andreatta. He is survived by his brothers, Joseph J. Jr. of Queensbury, N.Y., and Robert of Reno, Nev. He is also survived by many cousins, nieces and nephews.

He served in the U.S. Army in his 20s as a military policeman. He received many special awards for his skills as a marksman. After his discharge from the Army, he ran a sporting goods store for several years in Southern California.

Richard reminded us often that we "must have a purpose in life." He practiced this as best he could by establishing "the best little bookstore between San Francisco and Seattle" - The Chiloquin Book Store and Art Center.

Special thanks to Mary Anna Napier and Dawn Wagner for attending to Richard's personal care for the past many months. Also, Klamath Hospice nurses and aides and other local friends, including Dean Wagner, Gorden Herron, Mike Edsberg and Father Abraham from Mount Carmel Church, who have helped in his care and personal support in the past few years.

A vigil service will be at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 22, in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be celebrated for Richard at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 23, preceded by The Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary at 9:30 a.m. A luncheon reception in the church hall will follow. Interment will be at the Fort Klamath Cemetery following the reception. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/heraldandnews/obituary.aspx?n=richard-kopczak&pid=186681469

Remembering Richard When I lived in San Francisco in the 1970s I discovered the Chiloquin area. As an ornithologist and fly fisherman I felt immediately at home at the Williamson River and Agency Lake. Whenever I could steal a free weekend or a short vacation, I travelled to what was to become “my Chiloquin”. Still, when I was offered a partnership in a consultant firm in Switzerland I accepted and returned to live in Europe – soon to get married as well. However, at the first best opportunity I took my wife Ruth on a long vacation to the US ending up in a small rental house in Chiloquin.

Besides the successful fishing and the resulting cooking experiences, we spent a lot of time in Richard’s library. For a long time we would spend two month per year in the area, now every second year. We became very close friends with Richard, of course spending a lot of time in his shop buying books like crazy, but also having 3 him often over for dinner. He was one of those rare people without any pretenses, direct yet tactful, honest yet a smart, careful tactician when discussing controversial subjects. In short: It was a pleasure to be with him, to talk about life and our personal histories. Richard was not a man who had enjoyed a so-called “smooth” childhood and youth. Later he worked in all kinds of different jobs and professions, travelling bumpy roads in both his professional and personal life. But all that did not weaken his spirit, rather his keen, practical intelligence made him stronger, wiser and more determined to do something he really liked and wanted to do. Quite surprising, in fact, that a person with that kind of background was or became so fascinated with books. Developing his library and 2nd hand book shop was indeed an amazing, marvelous and courageous “tour de force”. But that huge endeavor, too, was to become a pretty tough road. Running such a truly unique place that caters to people who want to get more out of life than watching television soaps is not an easy job and a pretty shaky business indeed, especially in an out-of-the-way place like Chiloquin. For who expects an unbelievable shop like that in a small, modest town, away from any large city with a book-hungry populace? But Richard knew what he was doing. He faced that reality remaining stubbornly determined to do what he really wanted to do, often repeating to us: “This is my mission.”

Well, our dear friend Richard has passed away. He did with his life what not all of us are courageous enough to do. We will miss him terribly. However, what he called “his mission” is still there, at least physically speaking. May whoever continues to work that shop have the know-how and the tenacity to keep the shop alive and make it prosper. To be successful, though, additional, modern marketing methods will be required. But that is up to those who have taken over our beloved bookshop. Whenever Ruth and I will be staying in the area and enter the shop we will literally feel Richard’s presence. It will always remain Richard’s shop. Yes, we will always remember him, honor him, and respect him. And here, at home in Switzerland, in our 5000-book library, almost 500 books from Richard’s shop will make this even easier.

These programs were developed through Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA. These programs are evidence based health promotion programs for people living with chronic conditions or diabetes. Living Well is a workshop series delivered in six, two-and-a-half hour weekly sessions, primarily in community settings such as senior centers, churches, hospitals, retirement facilities, care homes, etc. People with different chronic health conditions, including people with multiple conditions, and their caregivers and family members attend the workshop series together. Workshops are facilitated by two trained leaders who follow scripted agenda and curriculum developed by Stanford University. One, of both of the leaders, are non-health professional peers with a chronic disease.

Living well will not conflict with existing programs of treatments. It is designed to enhance regular treatment and disease-specific self-management education such as Better Breathers, cardiac rehabilitation, or diabetes education. In addition, many people have more than one chronic condition. The program is especially helpful for these people, as it gives them the skills to coordinate all the medications and treatments necessary to manage their health, as well as to help them keep active in their lives. Family members and other support people are invited to participate along with the person living with the chronic condition. The Living Well programs have also been shown to be effective with individuals from a variety of backgrounds, regardless of educational level, literacy level, socioeconomic status, or health conditions. Sessions are highly interactive and participative, where mutual support and success build the participant’s confidence in their ability to manage their health and maintain active and fulfilling lives.

Subjects covered in the Living Well workshops include:

 Techniques to deal with problems such as frustration, fatigue, pain and depression  Appropriate exercise for maintaining and improving strength, flexibility, and endurance  Appropriate use of medications  Communicating effectively with family, friends, and health professionals  Nutrition  How to evaluate new treatments  Many other topics included!

*The Diabetes Self-Management workshops will also include a more detailed and comprehensive module on understanding portions and proper combination of food groups, reading food labels, foot care, highs and lows of blood sugars, and additional diabetes related topics.

Each participant receives a copy of the companion book, Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Disease, if they complete the first four weeks of the six week session, along with a relaxation cd used during the sessions. Additional incentive items, that specifically relate to the lessons included in that week’s topics, will be given to participants each week to support ongoing learning of the techniques conveyed in the content of the program. At the end of the six weeks, a celebration will take place to highlight the completion of the journey to better self-managed health.

You are welcomed to ENJOY the upcoming FREE CONCERT planned for our community!!

• When: Sunday Sept. 24th • Time: 5 PM • Where: CHILOQUIN's Community Center - 140 South 1st. Ave, Chiloquin, OR 97624 Thanks for SHARING this announcement with others!!

LAKEVIEW, Ore. – Volunteers will be sprucing up Devils Garden Wilderness Study Area on the Bureau of Land Management’s Lakeview District for National Public Lands Day Saturday, Sept. 30. As stewards, the BLM manages public lands for the benefit of current and future generations, supporting conservation as we pursue our multiple-use mission.

Devils Garden WSA is located in a volcanic field in north Lake County. Work to be performed include fence removal, trash collection, and site rehabilitation to return the area to its natural state. This family-friendly event offers an opportunity for community members to learn about WSAs and natural resource issues associated with managing these designated areas. Participants will be served lunch and be presented with a commemorative National Public Lands Day shirt and a coupon good for free use of a BLM-managed fee site. Some transportation will be provided.

Volunteers from Lakeview will meet at 7 a.m. at the Lakeview Interagency Office, 1301 South G St.. Volunteers from North Lake County will meet at 9:30 a.m. at the Fort Rock Homestead Village Museum, 64696 Fort Rock Rd., Fort Rock. For more information about Lakeview BLM’s National Public Lands Day 2017 project, contact Greg Campbell at (541) 947-6126, or: [email protected]. National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest, single-day volunteer effort for public lands and brings together hundreds of thousands of individual and organizational volunteers to help restore America’s public lands. 8

Following the departure of PenAir in August 2017, City Officials and community leaders wasted no time in organizing and identifying a possible replacement scheduled passenger air carrier to service the Klamath Basin. On September 12th, a group from Klamath Falls traveled to and met with representatives from SkyWest Airlines, based in St. George, Utah. The meeting was initiated and facilitated by Mead-Hunt, an aviation consulting group with deep experience in the Pacific Northwest’s aviation sector.

At issue is whether any airline can be profitable in a smaller rural market during a period when there is a nationwide pilot shortage, smaller aircraft fleets have been reduced or eliminated, and rural market government subsidies have been reduced – all of which impact the ability of carriers to provide air service to rural markets nationwide.

If a deal is struck with SkyWest, the airline would initiate service from Klamath Falls to San Francisco daily, using a 50-seat Canadair Regional Jet 200. In the past Klamath was serviced by 30-37 seat turboprop planes so a 50-seat jet would be a welcome improvement. Also discussed were flights to Portland, and potentially other markets if demand supported expansion. SkyWest indicated an internal route analysis is needed to evaluate Klamath’s proposal, and indicated it would complete its initial feasibility assessment in the coming weeks.

The Klamath Team prepared and presented a detailed proposal that received compliments from the SkyWest team, which included the Managing Director of Market Development, Director of Revenue Management & Forecasting, and the Lead of Market Development. Community representatives at the presentation were cautiously optimistic about Klamath’s chances of landing a new airline, and each reiterated the importance and sense of urgency to resume passenger air service as soon as possible:

John Barsalou, Director of the Crater Lake – Klamath Regional Airport said: “The support received from the County Commissioners, City Council, Sky Lakes, and other community partners allowed us to attend armed with necessary resources to address SkyWest’s start-up concerns. The encouragement was great!”. Nathan Cherpeski, Klamath Falls’ City Manager said: “We feel our presentation was well received by the SkyWest Team. It was a positive meeting with great support from our Community Partners and we look forward to continuing discussions with SkyWest”. Jim Chadderdon, Executive Director – Discover Klamath Visitor & Convention Bureau said: “At $150M in annual inbound revenues to the Klamath Basin, tourism is a key economic driver. Having passenger air service is critical to our community’s ability to continue expanding our tourism footprint which allows the leisure traveler access to Klamath’s recreational and cultural attractions including Crater Lake, Lava Beds and so much more”. Greg O’Sullivan, Executive Director – Klamath County Economic Development Association said: “Air Service is vital to our business community, as well as to our community’s ability to attract new businesses, which is why we are encouraged by SkyWest’s interest in returning to Klamath”. Paul Stewart, CEO of Sky Lakes Medical Center said: “Passenger air service is vitally important to our local medical community. Our healthcare professionals, suppliers, and others who either provide medical services or support Klamath’s healthcare industry need convenient and timely access to the market. We are pleased to partner with others in the community to encourage SkyWest’s presence in our market”.

In their meeting with SkyWest officials, local representatives reinforced the difficulties of traveling to Medford, particularly in winter, as well as the need for a passenger air carrier to service both inbound and outbound business and leisure travelers. Additional information will be forthcoming following the next meeting with SkyWest by approximately mid- October. FOR MORE INFORMATION: John Barsalou, A.A.E.

Chiloquin, OR.- Thankfully, no residents, employees or firefighters were injured in an electrical attic fire that started on Saturday, September 9, 2017, at the Klamath Tribes Congregate Building located at 502 Charley Avenue in Chiloquin, Oregon. According to reports, Chiloquin Fire crews and emergency personnel responded to a call from Jim Collins, Pacific Power who was on-site addressing a resident service call in the early evening of Saturday, September 9, 2017.

Upon arrival, fire crews were met with smoke coming out of the roof on the east side of the building. The main body of the fire was located, immediately knocked down, and contained within minutes. In conjunction, everyone in the building was immediately evacuated, accounted for, and assessed by Chiloquin Ambulance personnel. No personal injuries were reported.

Following the fire, the building and air-quality was assessed and cleared by Chiloquin Fire Chief, Mike Cook for re-occupancy. Then on Monday, September 11, 2017, Oregon State Fire Marshal, Scott Rice, came on location to further assess and verify the cause. Reports state the fire left one apartment severely damaged. However, the Klamath Tribes are happy to report there were NO personal injuries, and the remaining 14 apartments were saved along with all personal belongings.

In a statement today, Tribal Chairman Don Gentry said, “We are so thankful that everyone is alright- that of course is our main concern.” He added. “We know it could have been a lot worse and it will take a little time to get things back to normal, but we are asking for everyone’s patience while we work thru the aftermath of this emergency- we are sorry for any inconvenience.”

Fire Report - 9/16/17 from RogueWeather.com. Read it at http://www.rogueweather.com/fire-info/fire-report

Are Environmentalists to Blame for All These Fires?

The dozens of fires burning in the Northwest this summer forced thousands of people from their homes and cast clouds of heavy smoke that kept residents inside and ruined untold numbers of vacations. That’s led to some vigorous finger-pointing on editorial pages, talk radio and social media. Jefferson Public Radio asked some forest experts for a reality check.

Chad Hanson is a forest ecologist with the John Muir Project of Earth Island Institute in California. He says the focus on so-called excess fuels as a driver of wildfires disregards more important factors. Hanson takes issue with the whole premise that we’re experiencing unusually high levels of fire and need to do something about it. “This year in Oregon is an above average fire year relative to the last 40 years,” he says. “But it’s not an above average fire year relative to natural fire levels before fire suppression.”

He and some colleagues recently published a large-scale study that found thinning forests doesn’t actually result in less fire. “All other things being equal, in the same forest types, the most protected forests, with the least logging or no logging, actually had the lowest levels of fire intensity,” he says. “And the forests with the least environmental protections and the most logging had the highest levels of fire intensity.”

Hanson says opening the forest canopy lets in more sunlight and wind, drying out the understory and making it more likely to burn. He says a warming climate is a growing factor, as well. The bottom line, Hanson says, is that while we need to protect lives and homes, thinking we can log our way out of having frequent wildfires in the West is simply wrong.

NOAA forecast for this week

US National Weather Service Medford Oregon If you're wondering how much rain we're expected over the next few days, we have your answer! A low pressure system will bring a few rounds of rain to southern Oregon and northern California next week. This system is expected to arrive on Sunday night, but the second bout of rain will be the heavier of the two. The rain could be moderate at times during the middle of the week, and could lead to debris flows around burn scars and areas of steep terrain. River flooding isn’t a concern at this time, but rivers will rise due to the new rainfall. Otherwise, some ponding on the roadways will be possible, particularly on Tuesday night. If you come across a road that is covered with water, find an alternate route. Turn around, don’t drown.

The area that was normally covered in water was now just a muddy mess for hundreds of yards with 2 manatees marrooned. With a sufficient number of helpers, both manatees were rolled onto two separate tarps and then dragged all the way back to the water, where they were able to swim away under their own power.

Photograph of Tal'ngai Dha'run - the leucistic Grey Headed Flying Fox from the Australian Bat Clinic & Wildlife Trauma Centre.

Tal'ngai Dha'run (meaning 'White Wing' in the local indigenous dialect) was found in November 2016 during a rescue event in which hundreds of Grey Headed Flying Foxes were left orphaned and therefore raised by the volunteers at the Australian Bat Clinic. Due to the lack of skin pigmentation, Tal'ngai is at extreme risk of sunburn, associated injuries and cancer so therefore he was unable to be released into the wild with the other orphans. Zoo Studio's Master Photographer Ken Drake was awarded the Gold Medal by the Australian Institute of Professional Photography for this photograph at both a state and national level.

Fennec foxes, native to North Africa and the Sahara desert, are distinguished by their large ears, which serve to dissipate their body heat. These ears give them such good hearing that they can even hear their prey moving under the sand. Their cream-colored fur helps them deflect heat during the day and stay warm at night.

In 2014, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services program reportedly exterminated 2.7 million animals, including 580 black bears, 796 bobcats, 305 cougars, 61,702 coyotes, 1,186 red foxes, and 322 wolves, at a cost of about $127 million.

 Lethal methods for controlling predators include hunting, destroying litters of young, poisoning, live- trapping followed by killing, and the use of kill traps.  Non-lethal methods include livestock-guarding animals, a visual deterrent known as “fladry” in addition to other types of deterrents and repellents, enclosures, diversionary feeding, and sterilization.

A new study published in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment finds that there is very little evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of lethal methods for controlling carnivores that prey on livestock. In fact, based on their review of the existing literature, the researchers who conducted the analysis say that non- lethal methods have been demonstrated to be more effective.

The paw of a dead wolf (Canis lupus) shot as part of the regular wolf culling program in Kocevska, Slovenia that was aimed to reduce livestock depredations. After a study in 2011 showed that this program was ineffective for reducing livestock loss, the Slovenian government responded by stopping culling wolves for the purpose of preventing livestock depredations.

BBC News contacted wildlife photographer Justin Hofman who shot this image of a seahorse in Indonesia:

"At first I was so happy to find this cute seahorse all alone, but as the tide changed, sea grass and debris started to drift over the reef - and plastic, trash and sewage along with it. The white blobs you see in the background are actually plastic bags.

As the whole thing unfolded, I knew it was an important scene that had to be documented. It was frustrating, disgusting and sad, but I had to shoot it."

Pink Underwing Moth caterpillar (Phyllodes imperialis) "These larvae sit flat against the vine like a dead leaf or branch they are very camouflaged and hard to spot. When you place your moving hand close to them or touch them they rear up and bend to reveal the eye spots and the white markings which are usually hidden in a fold of skin." In Australia the moth is only found in undisturbed, subtropical rainforest below the altitude of 600 m. It is also found in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu (New Hebrides), and New Caledonia. Photo courtesy of plant.nerd.

It is preferred that the successful applicant be available for meetings at the Tribal Headquarters located in Chiloquin, Oregon as needed.

The anticipated duration of legal services is for a period not to exceed three (3) years. The contract for legal services will be reviewed at the end of each contract year or on an appropriate basis at the tribes’ sole discretion. The Tribes reserves the right to terminate the relationship with 30 days written notice as will be set forth in any contract for legal services. The selection of the Water Attorney may be made after review of this RFQI and a scheduled interview. The final selection is subject to approval by The Klamath Tribes’ Tribal Council. Nothing in this RFQI constitutes a waiver of the Tribes’ sovereign immunity or a guarantee of employment.

All requested documents, resumes, qualifications, and references shall be provided by sealed envelope in one of the following methods: ground delivery, regular mail, or in person to The Klamath Tribes Purchasing Agent at the Klamath Tribes Administration office no later than 4 p.m. on October 10, 2017.

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.
