Calling All Veterans Some Chiloquin area veterans recently started getting together regularly to get to know each other, exchange service-connected stories, and discuss local community issues. The group meets every Thursday morning at 9 at the Potbelly Café where they enjoy chatting while drinking coffee, eating snacks, and, for some, having breakfast. This informal get-together is open to all vets, men and women, and generally lasts an hour or so. Please feel free to join us.

Temporary change in Chair exercise and Tai Chi practice schedule: No practices from 6 Nov -19 Nov. We will resume on 20 Nov.

Attention citizens of Chiloquin; The heating fuel at the Chiloquin Food Pantry has been stolen. Just to let everyone know, we work very hard to raise funds for fuel, rent and electricity. We collect bottles and cans and cash them in and we have a few fundraisers every year. The Chiloquin Food Pantry has provided heating fuel so that the patrons are warm and comfortable when they wait for their turn at distribution time. We are deeply saddened that the fuel was stolen. We, as a group of dedicated volunteers want the citizens to know that we are all volunteers. No one gets paid. We work as a group to make sure no one goes hungry. The Chiloquin Food Pantry will have different days in November and December, so we do not conflict with the holidays. In November it will be the third Wednesday of the month, 11/15/2017 and in December it will also be the third Wednesday of the month, 12/20/2017. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas. We hope that everyone has a happy and joyous holiday season. Kathy Bettles.

Crater Lake National Park: Sunday 11/5/17 - The road from Steel Visitor Center to Rim Village is CLOSED. The only way to see the lake is by snowshoeing or skiing up the Raven Trail. Be advised that if you choose to snowshoe/ski up to the rim you will be traveling in avalanche terrain. Walking or skiing on the road is prohibited. Please use caution when driving to Crater Lake National Park. You must carry traction tires or chains. The combination of snow packed roads and heavy snowfall with winds may make driving conditions challenging. Be advised that our snow plow operators will be working on the roads and may have reduced visibility due to the weather.

In Loving Memory... Mercedez Rasdal Mercedez Alexiz Rasdal gained her angel wings on Oct.22nd, 2017, after an eight month battle with DIPG (brain cancer) . Mercedez was gifted to this world in Klamath Falls on May 22nd, 2006 to Eric Rasdal and Tyra Moore. She attended Head Start, Mills Elementary, and Ponderosa Middle School while making friends with all those she came to know throughout the years. She will be fondly remembered, and greatly missed, by those she left behind. Mercedez was always the determined girl with a ready smile, who continuously looked for ways to make other’s days a little brighter. She would surprise so many of those she knew with thoughtful gifts, and had a strong desire to help those less fortunate in life. She loved doing school sports and participated in track, basketball, softball, and volleyball. She was passionately devoted to the Raiders, and enjoyed collecting lots of different things such as beanie babies and painted rocks. Oftentimes Mercedez would come to school with a loaded bag of trinkets, candy, and

baubles to share with other students and teachers. She left a trail of happiness and love throughout her life. In February of 2017, Mercedez was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a very aggressive brain cancer with no known cure. Despite this, her family, friends, and community rallied in support of her battle and did so much to embrace her and her family in their fight. Mercedez fought with strength, grace, and selflessness. Throughout even her hardest days, Mercedez showed concern that her family was ok. Upon learning that her tumor had grown and her symptoms were progressing, Mercedez said she didn’t want people to be sad for her. She wrote these words last November, “Like an angel she came from Hevean above she shared her compassion/for her pain and her Love she only stayed with us long enough to teach us the world, to share to give, and reach”. It was as though she knew how important her short time on Earth would be. She is survived by her parents Eric Rasdal and Tyra Moore, little brother Zachary, big brother Dalliz Rasdal, Grandmother Doreen Moore, Grandfather Paul Byers, Grandmother Sue Pizano, Grandparents Janet and Ash Walt, and many aunts, uncles and cousins that shared their love and life with Mercedez. She was preceded in death by her Grandpa Virgil. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Integral Youth Services, 1011 Main St, Klamath Falls, Or, 97601. An open service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on November 12th, at the Mills Elementary Auditorium followed by a Celebration of Life reception at the Klamath County Fairgrounds.

Blue Creek Despite its cultural and spiritual significance to the tribe, and its importance to the survival of anadromous fish returning to the Klamath River, the Blue Creek watershed is far from pristine. The headwaters enjoy protection as a federal wilderness area, but in the lower reaches logging, road construction and grazing have incised the channel. Feral cows forage on the banks and stray hatchery fish breed with wild salmon. . “These are spiritual lands,” said Cordalis. “We have always been a salmon people and centered our way of life around the Klamath.”

After watching the degradation for decades, the Yuroks realized the only way to protect their ancestral territory was to own it. Read how they are going about that. The waters of Blue Creek, which flow into the Klamath River, are poised for protection under an ambitious partnership between the Yurok Tribe and the Western Rivers Conservancy.

Reduced blue-green algae and toxin levels confirmed, continued caution with pets advised The Oregon Health Authority has lifted the health advisory issued Aug 7 for Agency Lake, located just north of Klamath Falls along U.S. Highway 97 in Klamath County. Water monitoring has confirmed that the level of blue-green algae are below guideline values for human exposure. However, the Oregon Health Authority recommends that people continue to be cautious with their pets in the lake because blooms can develop and disappear throughout the season. Only a fraction of the many lakes and waterways in Oregon are monitored for blue-green algae by state, federal and local agencies, therefore, you are your own best advocate when it comes to keeping you, your family and your pets safe. People and especially small children and pets should avoid areas where the water is foamy, scummy, thick like paint, pea-green, blue-green or brownish red in color, if a thick mat of blue-green algae is visible in the water, or bright green cells are suspended in the water column. If you observe these signs in the water you are encouraged to avoid activities that cause you to swallow water or inhale droplets, such as swimming or high-speed water activities. For health information, to report human or pet illnesses due to blooms, or to ask questions about a news release, contact the Oregon Health Authority at 971-673-0400. For information about advisories issued or lifted for the season, contact the Oregon Public Health toll-free information line at 1-877-290-6767 or visit the Harmful Algae Blooms website at http://healthoregon.org/hab and select “Algae Bloom Advisories" November 2, 2017 Contact: Jonathan Modie, 971-246-9139, phd.communications@state.or.us

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – The Klamath Ranger District is opening an additional Personal Use Firewood cutting area outside of Klamath Falls. This area is located near Rocky Point, at milepost 15 on Westside Road. The logging deck includes small diameter Douglas fir and white fir, with approximately 20 to 30 cords available. The trees still have branches and tops. Cutters are asked to stack slash on either side of the deck and not leave it in the parking or cutting area. The wood is a result of the Eaglet timber sale, a logging project to reduce hazardous fuels accumulations. “The community of Rocky Point asked us to make this deck available for Personal Use Firewood cutting,” said Klamath District Ranger Heather Berg. “We are happy that we were able to work with the contractor to make this wood available for local residents to heat their homes rather than it being burned on site or chipped. This is another great opportunity for those needing firewood in the Klamath Falls area without having to travel too far for it.” The cutting area is open until December 31 or until access is blocked by snow. This is the fourth Personal Use Firewood cutting area opened up by the Klamath Ranger District in the past two months. While the other two decks have been depleted, there is still some wood available at the deck located off Road 3651-020 near Fourmile Quarry, primarily white fir. Personal Use Firewood Permits are available for $5 per cord with a minimum four cord or $20 purchase. Each household may purchase up to eight cords per year. Personal Use Firewood permits expire December 31. Permits are available from Fremont-Winema National Forest offices, including the Klamath Ranger District, located at 2819 Dahlia St. in Klamath Falls. The Ranger District can be reached at 541-883-6714. For more information on the Fremont-Winema National Forest, visit www.fs.usda.gov/fremont-winema or follow the Forest on Twitter @FremontWinemaNF.

CRATER LAKE, OREGON – Crater Lake National Park is developing a Trail Management Plan that will guide trail management, investment in trail infrastructure, and visitor use of the park trail system for the next 25 years.

CRATER LAKE, OR - As of November 1st the park is charging its winter entrance fee. The fee is $10 per car, is good for 7 days, and can be paid at the Steel Information Center at park headquarters. It is also possible to purchase an annual pass for Crater Lake National Park and Lava Beds National Monument for $30, or an America the Beautiful Pass good for entrance to all national parks for one year at the cost of $80. When the park resumes collecting its summer rate entrance fee next spring, the charge will be $20 per vehicle, $15 per motorcycle, and $12 per person on foot or bicycle. These fees were previously approved as part of our public outreach efforts in 2015. Crater Lake National Park’s North Entrance Road and Rim Drive are now closed for the season. All visitors to Crater Lake National Park must use Highway 62 to access the park from the south or west during these closures. The North Entrance Road and Rim Drive, with elevations from 5,850 to 7,960 feet above sea level, receive an average of more than 40 feet of snow each year and are not plowed from fall to late spring because of deep drifts, avalanche risk, and other dangerous conditions. The North Entrance Road and Rim Drive will reopen in the late spring or early summer of 2018. Exact dates for road openings depend on snow depths each year. Crater Lake National Park is open 365 days a year. Highway 62 and Munson Valley Road, which leads to Rim Village and lake viewing access, are plowed throughout the winter. When visiting the park in fall, winter, and spring, visitors should be prepared for winter road conditions by carrying chains and knowing how to use

them. Visitors can check current visibility and road conditions on the park’s webcams at http://www.nps.gov/crla/learn/photosmultimedia/webcams.htm. Ranger led snowshoe walks will begin in late November, provided there is enough snow. Reservations can be made by calling the Steel Information Center at (541)594-3100. The walks are free of charge, but space is limited. Winter recreational opportunities at Crater Lake National Park include cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and more. The Steel Visitor Center and the Rim Café and Gift Shop are year-round except for December 25th. Visitors should fuel their vehicles before arriving at the park, as gasoline is not available in the park from mid-October until late May. For more information on winter conditions, services, and programs in Crater Lake National Park, visit our website at www.nps.gov/crla.

The state has banned crabbing from Coos Bay to California because of domoic acid contamination. (The Oregonian/OregonLive) By Lynne Terry A toxin is creeping up the coast of Oregon, prompting the state to close crabbing from Coos Bay to California. This is the third closure of recreational and commercial crabbing since Oct. 20, when state agricultural officials banned crabbing from Cape Blanco to California. Three days later it extended the ban to Bandon and now Coos Bay. State test show the crabs have unsafe levels of domoic acid, which can cause anything from gastrointestinal symptoms to death. Domoic acid cannot be killed by cooking, freezing or in the microwave. "The toxin is very stable," said Judy Dowell, a food safety specialist at the Oregon Department of Agriculture. "it's best not to eat the crab." The closure includes crab harvested in bays and estuaries, and on beaches, docks, piers and jetties. Crab harvesting is open rom the north jetty of Coos Bay to the Columbia River. Crab and shellfish products sold in retail markets and restaurants are safe, the agriculture department said.

More than 400 landowners, conservation organizations, indigenous tribes, youth, business owners, state agencies and concerned community members have filed as intervenors this month in order to stand up against the proposed Pacific Connector Pipeline and LNG export terminal. Last month, Pembina, the Canadian Company behind the Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline and LNG export terminal filed their Certificate Application with the federal government, marking their third attempt over a 12 year period to build a pipeline through southern Oregon to ship fracked gas overseas. The project has faced stiff opposition from impacted communities because it would trample private property rights, disturb tribal territories and burial grounds, threaten 400 rivers and streams, and create one of the largest sources of climate pollution in the state. In 2016, under the Obama administration, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) denied the proposal for the fracked gas pipeline and LNG export terminal saying the project was not in the public interest.

But Pembina is hoping that they might have different luck under the the Trump administration. The company is counting on the new administration to push federal agencies, like FERC, and Oregon state agencies to allow this pipeline project to go through. Impacted parties and concerned community members have signed up as Intervenors to voice their opposition to the project and so that they will have legal standing in court if the project is approved. Only impacted parties who filed as intervenors will be able to participate in future legal challenges to FERC’s decision whether to grant permits and authorize eminent domain, for example. Those who filed motions with FERC intervened based on a number of issues including direct impacts to private property, businesses, and indigenous territories. Keri Wu, an adjacent landowner in Trail, Oregon lodged the following concerns in her motion with FERC: “I own 10-acres within a quarter-mile of the proposed Pacific Connector Pipeline and have personal concerns about the safety of this project. I am concerned with gas leaks and fires. I have already evacuated my home once during the Cleveland Ridge fire in August of 2016 and I am concerned with the added safety implications of a natural gas pipeline in a tinder dry forest and an identified earthquake zone.” Indigenous tribes also intervened in order to protect traditional territory and waterways. Among them, are the Klamath , Yurok, and Karuk Tribes which have all come out in strong opposition to the pipeline project. Intervenors hope that filing with FERC will increase transparency and access to the public in the federal process. "We can't count on FERC to provide an adequate review of the harmful impacts to clean water and our communities," said Stacey Detwiler of Rogue Riverkeeper. "We need our state agencies and elected representatives to take a leadership role in upholding state environmental laws and stop this project once and for all.” This November, Governor Kate Brown will join world leaders at the United Nations Climate Talks in Germany. “We are looking to Governor Brown to stick to her commitment to protect our climate,” said Allie Rosenbluth of Rogue Climate. “Whether or not Governor Brown stands up to Jordan Cove, the largest fossil fuel project our state has ever seen, will determine if she truly is a climate champion. Our state should be focused on creating good-paying jobs in improving energy efficiency and the expanding clean energy industry, not on new fossil fuel projects that hurt us all.”

News Release from Oregon State Fire Marshal Sunday, November 5th, marks the end of daylight saving time and serves as a good reminder for Oregonians to test their smoke alarms. The Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal is urging residents to test their smoke alarms before automatically changing the batteries. "Smoke alarm technology has advanced and many now come with 10-year batteries and some are tamper-resistant," said State Fire Marshal Jim Walker. "So, I encourage residents to test their alarms before changing the battery, and to be sure to replace any smoke alarm that is 10 years old or older." Oregon law requires ionization-only smoke alarms that are solely battery powered to come equipped with a hush feature and a 10-year battery. Because of this technology, the national slogan "Change your clock, Change your battery" may not apply to Oregon residents who have these ionization-only smoke alarms. Other types of alarms are also being sold with either a 10-year battery or a standard-life battery. "Ensuring you have working smoke alarms in your home is the single most important step you can take to increase your family's safety from a home fire," adds Walker. To test your alarm properly we recommend you: 1) Push the test button to be sure the battery is working. 2) When replacing batteries, follow the manufacturer's instructions for the correct battery type to use. 3) Always retest alarms after installing new batteries.

4) Replace any alarm that fails to operate after installing a new battery. 5) Inspect your alarms to determine if they are 10 years old or older, and replace any smoke alarm 10 years old or older. Look for a date on the back of the alarm. If there is no date, your alarm is more than 10 years old and should be replaced. 6) Follow the manufacturer's instructions for regularly cleaning your alarms of dust and cobwebs. Working smoke alarms provide a critical early warning to a fire, allowing you vital minutes to escape, which increase your chances of survival. Additional safety tips: * Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, in each bedroom, and outside each sleeping area (hallway). * Never disconnect or remove batteries from smoke alarms for other uses. * Use the smoke alarm's hush feature to silence nuisance alarms. * Make a home fire escape plan and practice it with family members. * Practice you home fire escape plan at least two times a year at different times of the day/night. * Children, older adults, and people with disabilities may need assistance to wake up and get out. Ensure that someone will help them.

Typhoon "Damrey" hit southern Vietnam on Saturday, November 4, 2017 as the strongest storm to hit that part of the country in 16 years. At least 27 people died and 22 are still missing, as of Sunday morning, November 5. Damrey's strong winds and heavy rain caused widespread power outages, damaged more than 40 000 homes and destroyed at least 600 others, and caused extensive damage to region's rice fields and other crops. At least 228 fishing boats were sunk or damaged, according to the Vietnam Disaster Management Authority. See a video

Record-breaking rainfall hit parts of Tanzania, the most flood-affected country in eastern Africa, over the past couple of days, causing widespread flooding, mudslides and major travel disruptions. More than 6.7 inches of rain was measured in Dar es Salaam within 24 hours on Thursday, more than two times the country's average October rainfall.

The first significant snowstorm to hit Minnesota this season left four people dead over the weekend. It was the earliest snow in the state since 2009. The storm also produced a 28.8 foot high wave in Lake Superior, breaking the previous Great Lakes record set in 2012. The Minnesota State Patrol said the severe weather has contributed to more than 300 crashes and spinouts across the state since Friday, October 27. Read more

https://www.newsdeeply.com/water/articles/2017/10/30/two-years-after-californias-biggest-dam-removal-fish-rebound AT A TIME when California was suffering from a record-breaking drought, removing a dam would have seemed counterintuitive. But that’s what happened in 2015 on the Carmel River when the 106ft San Clemente Dam was torn down in the name of public safety and for the benefit of an iconic fish. The project began in 2013 when engineers rerouted a half-mile section of the river above the dam. Remnants of the dam were removed and a series of cascading pools were installed to enable oceangoing fish to swim upstream to the tributaries where they spawn. Prior to demolition, the prognosis for the steelhead residing in the Carmel River was dire. Post-dam removal, a mix of fish at various stages of development, both above and below the site of the dam has been seen, which is a positive sign that steelhead populations are on the rebound. Historic steelhead runs on the Carmel River used to be around 20,000 but that number had dropped to fewer than 800 by 2015. California American Water could have retrofitted the structure for $49 million, a stopgap measure as the dam

aged and weakened. Instead, they coordinated with state and federal agencies to raise additional funds for habitat restoration with a total estimated cost of $84 million upon completion. At this point, the river is in the process of redesigning itself and it’s “super-exciting” to observe, said Chapman, the regional manager for the California Coastal Commission. The rerouted channel of the Carmel River in Carmel Valley, Monterey County, Calif. It includes the man-made formation of step-pools to help fish swim upstream.

Kenya brings in world's toughest plastic bag ban: four years jail or $40,000 fine Producing, selling and using plastic bags becomes illegal as officials say they want to target manufacturers and sellers first. Kenyans producing, selling or even using plastic bags will risk imprisonment of up to four years or fines of $40,000, as the world’s toughest law aimed at reducing plastic pollution came into effect. The east African nation joins more than 40 other countries that have banned, partly banned or taxed single use plastic bags, including China, France, Rwanda, and Italy. Many bags drift into the ocean, strangling turtles, suffocating seabirds and filling the stomachs of dolphins and whales with waste until they die of starvation. In Nairobi’s slaughterhouses, some cows destined for human consumption had 20 bags removed from their stomachs.

Through dramatic first-hand accounts, expert testimony, and shocking statistics, Incarcerating US asks fundamental questions about the prison system in America: What is the purpose of prison?

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.
