On behalf of the American Red Cross I, Marylee Plitt, Chiloquin Community Volunteer Coordinator, would like to give a huge shout-out to this amazing Chiloquin Community for their stepping up to the plate in donating their time and blood to the Red Cross Blood Drive for 2019-2020 school year. We did it again!!! We collected a minimum of 71 pints of blood to fulfill the requirements to award our two (2)

Chiloquin High School Seniors $500.00 Scholarship. $250 to Hannah Schroeder and $250 to Lani Jackson for their efforts to fulfill these Blood Drives. Thank you ladies for a job well done!!! Due to this COVID-19 the Red Cross has had major adjustments to fulfill the safety requirements, thus there have been delays and we appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding. Our next drive will be Thursday, August 13th and we’re trying to have it in the Community Center so we can accommodate more beds for the required distancing. Another huge shout-out of appreciation goes out to our Fire & Rescue Chief Mike Cook, for his support to the Red Cross this year by providing their facility when the High School is not in session and by providing personnel to take temperatures of donors at registration. Red Cross claims 1 pint of blood can save 3 lives – The Chiloquin Community can take pride in saving 213+ lives!!! THANK YOU!

COVID-19 cases in Oregon The Klamath Tribes Health and Family Services Incident Management Team confirmed that two employees of the tribe tested positive for COVID-19 in a press release on Wednesday. Those were the tribe’s first reported cases. Klamath Tribal Health and Family Services confirmed an additional six positive COVID-19 cases Thursday for a total of eight cases. Read more An outbreak of 37 COVID-19 cases has been reported at Lamb Weston in Umatilla County. The case counts include all persons linked to the outbreak, which may include household members and other close contacts. During the week of June 15-21, 30,773 people were tested for COVID-19 in Oregon and 3.7 percent of those people had a positive result, up from 3.1 percent during the preceding week. New modeling of the COVID-19 virus shows that COVID-19 is spreading more rapidly in Oregon, according to the latest model released today by the Oregon Health Authority and the Institute for Disease Modeling. The moderate scenario suggests the rise in cases in the last modeling report was due to increased transmission and expanded testing — and that daily infections of COVID-19 could rise over the next month to more than 900 per day, with daily hospitalizations rising from 8 to 27. Read more Oregon Health Authority Oregonians are at greater risk of becoming infected with COVID-19 than they have been since before Governor Kate Brown issued the first stay-at-home orders. Our latest projections show we are most likely heading toward the worst-case scenario we projected last week – approximately 900 new infections per day by the end of July. COVID-19 cases have increased each week for four straight weeks statewide, and it is spreading faster in the community. While large workplace outbreaks have driven increased cases in recent weeks, sporadic cases (those with no clear link to another case) account for a growing percentage of new cases. Oregon’s health care system has not been overtaxed by COVID-19 cases – yet. However, hospital capacity could be overwhelmed this summer if cases continue to surge.

Weekly Chiloquin Fire & Rescue Report of Dispatches and Responses:

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases around the world has passed the milestone of 10 million, according to Johns Hopkins University in the US. The US has reported a total of 2.5 million cases and 125,000 deaths with Covid-19 so far - more than any other country. The country with the second-highest number of recorded cases is Brazil, with a total of 1.3 million, and deaths in excess of 57,000. Read more On Saturday the U.S. set another record for coronavirus cases, with 44,782 new infections. This is the fifth daily record in a row. Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Nevada all set new daily highs. Meanwhile, New York, which had been the epicenter of the virus, has dropped its new infections from almost 10,000 a day to just 673 cases statewide, and is about to enter a new phase of its reopening plan. On Saturday, Florida reported more than 9,500 new cases, up from almost 9,000 on Friday, the previous record. The spike has led state officials to tighten restrictions on businesses again - as they also have in Texas. The leading US government adviser on coronavirus, Dr Anthony Fauci, said last week that the country had a "serious problem". More than 125,000 Covid-19 patients have died nationwide - more than in any other country. Read more Scotland could eliminate coronavirus by the end of the summer if the decline in new cases continues, according to a public health expert. New cases of coronavirus have been falling since their peak of 430 a day in April. There were no confirmed deaths from the virus on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Prof Devi Sridhar, of Edinburgh University, said the country would effectively be Covid-free if that progress could be maintained. She said the challenge would then be how to stop new cases being imported. Read more Europe will allow outsiders to begin entering again on July 1, but the U.S. and Russia are now among the nations considered too risky because they have not controlled the coronavirus outbreak. By contrast, travelers from more than a dozen countries that are not overwhelmed by the coronavirus are set to be welcomed. Countries that made the safe list, which include Canada and Australia, were judged on a mix of scientific criteria that included their infection rates and the credibility of their public health reporting data. The United States, which banned most European Union travelers in March when the virus was raging in Europe, has not eased its own restrictions since then, even though European infections and deaths have dropped. The conundrum is in some ways similar to a decision this week by New York, New Jersey and Connecticut to impose mandatory quarantines on travelers from other states where the virus is flaring, like Florida and Texas.

NOAA forecast for this week

RogueWeather.com: High temperatures will continue to climb heading into the first few days of the work week. Sunny skies and temperatures near normal will remain in the forecast through the end of the work week. The 4th of July weekend is looking perfect for outdoor events. In fact we really couldn't ask for a better temperature and weather setup. Sunny skies and highs in the upper 80's are forecast for the western interior

valleys. Even areas east of the Cascades will see highs in the mid 70's to lower 80's. This pattern appears to remain in place through much of the extended forecast.

Air quality across most of the region reached record “hazardous” levels and experts who nicknamed the event the “Godzilla dust cloud” warned people to stay indoors and use air filters if they had them. “This is the most significant event in the past 50 years,” said Pablo Méndez Lázaro, an environmental health specialist at the University of Puerto Rico. “Conditions are dangerous in many Caribbean islands.” Read more See a video

As the rain continues to fall in southern Tasmania, flooding roads and inundating homes, the downpour has caused one of Hobart's most mysterious gems to reappear. Hidden away on kunanyi/Mount Wellington, the crystal clear waters of the Disappearing Tarn are back. The phenomenon of the tarn can only be observed after heavy rain and good directions. Only avid bushwalkers know where to find the tarn's secret location.The tarn fills a rocky hollow with crystal clear, blue-tinged water. Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Michael Conway said more than 200 millimetres had fallen on the mountain over the past three days. Read more

JAKARTA — The fires that raze vast swaths of Indonesian Borneo every year are having a lasting health impact on the region’s critically endangered orangutans that threatens them with extinction, a preliminary study has found. The fires, which in nearly all cases are started to clear land for plantations, such as oil palm, reduce the availability of food for the orangutans, pushing them into what researchers say is starvation mode. Meanwhile, the smoke from the fires weakens their immune system and damages their DNA. For one, the orangutans were found to travel less as they tried to conserve their energy. “So after the fires, they’re using an energy-conserving strategy and did not move as much,” Vogel said. She added this might be caused by the declining availability of fruit during the fire season. This fruit shortage forces the orangutans to resort to eating bark. “And bark is very low in energy and it takes a lot of time to eat the bark,” The smoke also seems to affect male and female

orangutans differently. The females tend to stay in the area where they’re born because they need to stay close to their families, as opposed to their male counterparts. As a result, their living space gets more crowded, resulting in the females becoming more aggressive. With Bornean orangutans already listed as critically endangered due to habitat loss from logging and large-scale farming — their population has plunged by 60% since 1950 — the health impacts from forest fires could push the apes further toward the brink of extinction. New projections anticipate their numbers will fall by another 20% by the year 2025 Read more See a video

The lush, green interior of British Columbia, Canada, is renowned as the home of one of the last-remaining inland temperate rainforests on earth. BC’s towering, centuries-old red cedar, western hemlock, spruce and subalpine fir make up a wet, complex ecosystem brimming with wildlife, ranging from endangered woodland caribou, grizzlies, diverse birdlife and tiny lichens. But the province’s rare old-growth forests are shrinking dramatically

due to encroaching timber harvesting, especially for wood-pellets used to fuel the industrial biomass-burning industry, now fast replacing coal-fired electrical power plants around the globe. “Almost every productive ecosystem across BC has very low levels of old forest remaining, and in many areas of BC, this remaining productive old growth is at risk of being logged in the next five years,” British Columbia claims that of its 57.2 million hectares (220,850 square miles) of forest, some 23% (13.2 million hectares, or 50,965 square miles) is old growth. But the authors’ research tells a far different story. Their findings show that less than 1% of old growth with tall trees* remains in BC today, or roughly 400,000 hectares (1,544 square miles) scattered scattered in ecosystems along the coast and interior of the province The forestry industry, knowing a lucrative business when it sees it, has launched an aggressive PR campaign to convince the world that burning trees for energy is carbon neutral — an outdated assumption and policy built into the Kyoto Protocol, then grandfathered into the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. But leading scientists say, and myriad studies demonstrate, that carbon neutrality is a false hypothesis. Burning trees to produce electrical

18

energy actually produces more carbon emissions than coal because more wood is needed to generate the same amount of energy, research shows. Forestry has been BC’s dominant industry for generations, and logging for lumber and paper has proceeded for

decades as if the supply of trees in a province four times the size of California was infinite. It’s not. Aggressive logging of low-elevation coastal and interior forests has led to rural communities seeing a declining timber supply, sawmill closures and lost jobs. Unlike the US Southeast, where softwood tree farms can be harvested in 20 years or so, new trees planted in BC take at least 80 years before they can be harvested, forestry experts say.

The Quail Trail Schedule has been revised, effective Monday 10/08/2018. The reason for the changes is to aid young adults living in Chiloquin (and surrounding areas) traveling to/from Eagle Ridge High School in Klamath Falls. The students depend on the Quail to get to/from school. Now students may ride Route 2 to get to school, and catch Route 4 to go home after school – cutting their commute time by roughly 4 hours!

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.

If you are signed up but are not receiving the Chiloquin News, it’s because your email provider has either blocked it or sent it to spam. If it has just gone to spam, and you can find it there, then you can use that email to set up an email filter, telling your provider to never send it to spam. If it has been blocked, that is more difficult. When it is blocked it never even gets to your account. CenturyLink has blocked the Chiloquin News, and other providers have also done so. You could try calling CenturyLink to ask that it be ‘unblocked’ – good luck with that! Otherwise you could open a gmail account to receive the Chiloquin News, or you could read it at the online archive at https://chiloquinnews.wordpress.com/ As for the reason it is being blocked, it’s because it goes out to a large number of people and email providers tend to label those emails as spam. When the mail is blocked I can’t even reply to your queries. If the words ‘Chiloquin News’ appear anywhere in the text, the message will be blocked. The mail is doomed right from the start because it’s coming from the address ChiloquinNews@gmail.com. Please let me know if you have not been receiving the newsletter. I would like to keep track.
