GET READY FOR ONE MOTHER OF A ROAD TRIP! Everyone is welcome!

Lakeview, Ore. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Klamath Falls Resource Area (KFRA) of the Lakeview District, (BLM) has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) and corresponding draft Finding of No Significant Impacts (FONSI) for the Southwest Gerber Habitat Restoration EA.

The proposed treatments include removal of encroaching western juniper on approximately 5,000 acres of sagebrush steppe and juniper woodland habitat, utilization of material for biomass and/or firewood, piling and burning of residual material, planting bitterbrush, and seeding with native species.

These documents are now available for your review and comment on our website http://on.doi.gov/128PCFk beneath the heading: “Documents Currently Under Public Review.” To receive a printed copy, or an electronic version via e-mail of the documents, please contact Terry Austin at (541) 883-6916, or stop by the BLM Klamath Falls office at 2795 Anderson Avenue, Building 25, Klamath Falls, Oregon 97603.

The comment period for this EA will close thirty (30) days after May 15, 2013. Comment letters should be postmarked by June 14, 2013 to be considered in finalizing decisions for these proposals. You may submit your comments electronically at the following address: [email protected].

Lakeview, Ore. – Klamath Falls (KFICF) and Lakeview (LIFC) Interagency Fire Centers will be consolidated in into one facility located in Lakeview, Ore., to provide south central Oregon with improved initial attack dispatching and logistical support for emergency management.

“By combining resources, this single dispatch center will be better able to provide faster, more efficient response in the event of a wildfire and improve the safety of fire fighters and efficiency of fire operations,” said Fred Way, Forest Supervisor for the Fremont-Winema National Forest.

“There are a lot of moving pieces in play during a fire season and it makes sense to direct resources from one location,” said E.Lynn Burkett, District Manager for the Lakeview BLM. “Our goal is to have the new combined Interagency Dispatch Center completely staffed and ready for the 2014 fire season.

ODF will be a key participant in the Interagency Dispatch Center. “This will allow ODF to maintain a cohesive and effective working relationship with the landowners, allowing ODF to continue to address their concerns and meet their needs by maintaining key leadership roles in the new center,” said Greg Pittman, Klamath-Lake District Forester.

KFIFC and LIFC provide dispatch services for lands managed and protected by the Fremont-Winema National Forest, BLM Lakeview District, ODF, Crater Lake National Park, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) Sheldon-Hart Mountain National Wildlife Complex and Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge Complex. They also assist with cooperators in local fire districts.

For all trips it is recommended that you bring sturdy shoes or boots, plenty of water, sun screen and/or a hat, and a lunch. Be prepared for mosquitoes at most sites.

June 29 Pelican Guard Station/Pelican Barn, 9 am-noon, led by Sarah Malaby Located just west of Rocky Point about 30 minutes from Klamath Falls. From Klamath Falls take Hwy 140 west to the Westside Road about ½ mile past the Rocky Point Junction. Take the Westside Road north about 0.2 miles and turn right through the open gate to the Pelican Guard Station. We will meet at the site at 9.

The trip will consist of several stops of easy walking over uneven terrain for short distances off FS Rd 9718. We will see a variety of forest wildflowers and enjoy the terrific view from the highest point on the Chiloquin Ranger District.

July 20 Tunnel Creek, 9 am to noon, led by Johanna Fickenscher Located south of Buck Lake off of the Keno Access Road. Meet at the Pioneer Park Boat Launch on Hwy 66 (right before you cross the Klamath River) at 9 am. Tunnel Creek has some interesting riparian and boggy habitats. There are no trails through this area and walking will be moderate to difficult in places (e.g. climbing over downed logs and through wet areas, etc). Rubber boots are recommended.

August 10 Crater Lake Garfield Peak Trail, 9 am to noon, led by Jen Beck Meet near the east end of the Crater Lake Lodge at Rim Village. Hike is 3.4 miles round trip and a strenuous climb (1000' elevation gain) to the summit of Garfield Peak along the Crater Lake rim. Please note that participants will need to pay a $10 entrance fee or have a park pass.

We the Chiloquilters would like to invite you to attend our 8th Annual Quilt Show to be held June 22nd and 23rd at our beautiful Community Center in downtown Chiloquin. Our hours will be from 10AM until 4PM. The admission is $3 and Seniors are $2, children under 12 are free.

There will be vendors, many door prizes and lots of beautiful quilts at our small but mighty show. Food will be available provided by our local FCE (Family and Community Education) group. Our Community raffle quilt “Trail to the Stars” will be on display with raffle tickets available. The proceeds benefit programs at the Chiloquin Community Center.

The featured quilter this year will be Fran Coker who specializes in realistic Fabric Art. Her fabric art work and other items are currently available for sale at Two Rivers Village Arts Gallery also located in our Community Center. We will also have a Country Store with items slightly used but not abused, books, notions, magazines and “What was I thinking” fabric at reasonable prices.

For the hubbies and kids there will be train rides on Saturday at world renowned Train Mountain’s Klamath and Western Railroad just a short distance away.

Any questions please call Linda Wood at (54l)28l-7l0l. Hope to see you there!

Meetings are the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 9:30. Meetings are open to all. We have a pot luck each month along with the lessons presented by a member. For the location and directions to the next meeting, please call Sandie Bolyard at 541-892-2336.

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.

Two Rivers Gallery: The gallery, which is a community project and has no paid employees, is seeking people to “gallery sit”. This involves talking to people who stop by to browse and shop. You do not need to be an artist, but if you are, gallery hours reduce the amount of your commission. Any time at all that you can donate to us will be very much appreciated. Contact the Gallery @ 783-3326.

Sage Community School – Sage Community School is looking for community volunteers interested in assisting Sage Community School. If you are interested in offering your services as a volunteer in any way, please contact Wendy Letner at 783-7743.

Start Making A Reader Today (SMART) – a statewide program working with children K-3 during school hours. Each volunteer works one-on-one with a child for ½ hour, helping them read (or reading to the youngest). We always need volunteers, whether scheduled every week or merely as a substitute reader when the regular reader is unable to attend. Call the above numbers for an application or fill out an on-line application at www.getsmartoregon.org. It will be the most rewarding hour you ever volunteer! Contact the SMART office at 273-2424 or the Chiloquin Elementary School at 783-2338.

Chiloquin Branch Library - The library has many ways to get involved and many fun ways to contribute to your local community. Some opportunities: 1. Storytime: 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. Story time is at Thursday 3 PM during the school year. 2. Summer Reading Program: There are many opportunities during the summer to help out with this very worthwhile program. 3. 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”. 4. Help with sorting donations. 5. 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 783-3315.
