Historic agreements signed to enable the largest dam removal and salmon recovery effort in the history of the nation *All Photos and information provided by Taylor R. Tupper- Klamath Tribes News Dept.

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, California Gov. Jerry Brown, tribal leaders, upper Basin water users and other vested stakeholders joined Jewell in signing the agreements at the mouth of the Pacific Ocean in Klamath, California, home of the Yurok Tribe, on April 6, 2016. Klamath, California, April 6, 2016- The agreement revives a dormant settlement process that died at the end of last year when Congress failed to approve legislation known as SB 133. That original settlement would have removed dams, restored tribal lands and provided more water for farmers and ranchers. By removing the dams without congressional approval, advocates hope the larger deal will become more politically palatable. Secretary of the Interior, Sally Jewell, announced a final draft of the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement (KHSA) has been reached. Additionally, a separate, but just as important agreement, called the Klamath Power and Facilities Agreement, is also finalized. "These historic agreements are important initial steps to enable the largest dam removal project in the history of our nation and to provide a roadmap for long-term restoration and sustainability for tribes, for fisheries, for agriculture and for water users across the Basin,” Jewell said. Klamath Tribal Chairman Don Gentry said, "The c'iyaal's, which means salmon in the Klamath language, were placed in these waters by our Creator and was essential in sustaining the people for centuries, but when the dams were built we have not seen salmon in the Klamath Basin for almost 100 years. We won't be whole, and we won't be complete as a people, until we can once again fish for our c'iyaal's." Chairman Gentry added, "Although the Klamath Tribes have not yet voted in favor of formally supporting the agreements, but the Tribes support dam removal and salmon recovery. We recognize there will be much work to do both before and after the dams are removed.

For those who want to read the 2 agreements that were signed April 6th, please click the following links: KLAMATH HYDROELECTRIC SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT February 18, 2010 as amended April 6, 2016 https://www.doi.gov/sites/doi.gov/files/uploads/KLAMATH%20HYDROELECTRIC%20KHSA%20with%20App%204-6-16.pdf 2016 KLAMATH POWER AND FACILITIES AGREEMENT https://www.doi.gov/sites/doi.gov/files/uploads/Klamath%20Power%20%26%20Facilities%20Agrmt%202016.pdf Steps forward As a standalone agreement, the KHSA outlines provisions for removing the Oregon J.C. Boyle Dam, and three California dams, Copco 1 and 2 and Iron Gate Dam. The dams make up four of five that control water along the 263-mile-long Klamath River. They are owned by PacifiCorp, a private utility company that supplies power to much of the West. Jewell explained that final approval for the dam removal plan must come from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). She said it would be unlikely for the commission to reject the plan this late in the game. She expects FERC’s analysis to result in removing the dams by 2020. Jewell said science has shown that the largest limiting factor to Klamath fisheries is the dams, which are restricting salmon from nearly 300 miles of spawning habitat. Jewell said together the pacts are intended restore the watershed “in a way that honors people from the headwaters of the Klamath to the mouth of the Klamath.” “I think pieces have fallen into place since January that had to happen. We couldn’t be happier. It comes down to water quality and fish. All the science points to dam removal making the biggest positive impact to our fishery,” said Karuk Councilman Josh Saxon. “This is something the Klamath Tribes have fought for since 1917 when the Iron Gate was built without the promised fish ladders, and even though the Klamath Tribes are not formally signed on, there’s never been a time we didn’t support salmon recovery and dam removal. We have always stood with the lower river tribes to Bring Home the Salmon!” said Klamath Tribes Councilwoman, Taylor Tupper.

8

Restoration framework According to Jewell, the Klamath Power and Facilities Agreement acknowledges the government’s ongoing commitment to helping resolve water conflict in the upper Basin and it re-establishes a framework for an ongoing partnership for restoration in the Basin. As part of the KHSA, two PacifiCorp-owned dams that regulate flows in the upper Klamath watershed — the Keno Dam and Link River Dam — are slated to be turned over to the Bureau of Reclamation. According to Jewell, the power agreement addresses any regulatory or financial impacts that may result to upper Basin farmers from the KHSA and re-establishing fish runs to the upper Klamath Basin. Klamath Water Users Executive Director Scott White said the mission of Water Users does not include dam removal. “We are concerned that the amended KHSA is moving forward without the remainder of the full package we were willing to support,” White said. “There is work to do to address all interests in the Basin, including water and power security, and reliability for family farms and ranches in the Klamath Basin.” Gov. Kate Brown said Wednesday’s ceremony marked the beginning of a new chapter for the Klamath watershed. But, she acknowledged, the chapter is just a first step in a long restoration process. “Healing the Klamath is about much more than removing the dams,” she said. “It’s about restoring lands and healthy watersheds that nurture fish and wildlife and plants. For ranchers and farmers, it’s about building a sustainable, predictable way of using water that is an important part of the region’s economic future.” “We’re starting to get it right after so many years of getting it wrong,” said Gov. Jerry Brown. “What a beautiful day.” "Our allocation of fish this year doesn't meet half of our subsistence for our people," said Yurok Tribal Vice Chairman David Gensaw. "This is a threat to our culture, our religion and the economic survival of our people." "This is a huge exercise of humankind fixing some of the mistakes of the past," said California Governor Jerry Brown. Yurok Vice Chairman, David Gensaw Sr. welcomed everyone at the opening ceremonies on Yurok Tribal lands.

Young ladies of the Yurok Tribe welcome the crowd and bless everyone with their grace and culture.

Tribal Elders, Raymond Matt and Walt Lara visit about the first days of the Salmon runs and the struggles and victories to get to this good day.

Yurok Spiritual Leader, Walt Lara (left) pictured here with Klamath Tribal Member, Rayson Tupper. Rayson has traveled to every Salmon Rally up and down the river since the first water-shut off in 2016. Mr. Lara shared a good story with Mr. Tupper about a time when he was young and spent over a month in Chiloquin with his friend Bally Jackson. He first met Mr. Jackson on the river near his home in Klamath, California. He said he was about 20 when his father asked him to drive Bally to Klamath. Mr. Lara laughed and said, "I wondered why my dad gave me $20 to drive the young man just a few miles. But I soon figured out he was a Klamath Indian from Oregon and needed a ride several hours away." He laughed and added. "It was over a month before I came home. Sure had a good time in Chiloquin and came back with a freezer full of deer meat from my new friends."

Rayson also had the pleasure of meeting the Gensaw Boys at the signing ceremony. They gifted him with a tribal necklace and invited him and others to come fishing with their family. Rayson gifted them his Salmon Rally jacket in friendship. These young men are members of the tribe and fish and practice their cultural ways along the Klamath and Pacific Ocean. Good young men.

Leaf Hillman, Director of Natural Resources for the Karuk Tribe, pictured here with his beautiful wife Lisa. Both spent the day smiling and visiting friends and family. Leaf is also a board member on the Klamath River Keeper and Klamath Inter-Tribal Fish and Water Commission. Both are instrumental in cultural preservation and eco-system restoration efforts along the Klamath.

11

Oregon Governor, Kate Brown, spent the day visiting with tribal members and visitors. She has been a long time ally to these restoration efforts and has worked with the Oregon Tribes Commission on Indian Services for many years. Many thanks and blessings goes to Governor Brown and her Counterpart, Governor Jerry Brown of California.

Many thanks goes to Bob Ray, Yurok Tribal fisherman, for his boating expertise while he zoomed myself (Taylor Tupper- Klamath Council) and Amy Amrhein (Sen. Merkley Office) across the Klamath River in the Yurok Tribe's new jet boat. And special thanks goes to Dave Hillmier of the Yurok Tribe, for his personal guided tour. And of course, for not laughing when I was screaming holding on for dear life when we zipped around-and-around in circles. By far the best boat ride ever! The Klamath Tribes would like to say a special "thank you" to the Yurok Tribe for your gracious hospitality during the events. The signing ceremony was healing and the food was wonderful. Klamath Tribal Chairman Don Gentry, was blessed to share a table with Karuk Chairman Buster Attebery, Secretary Sally Jewell, Oregon Governor Kate Brown, Yurok Chairman Thomas O'Rourke, California Governor Jerry Brown and Yurok Vice Chair David Gensaw Sr.

12

Words cannot express the deep appreciation and honor that I felt being on the water and knowing we are all working diligently to bring the salmon home. Here Blue Creek flows into the Klamath River just 17 miles south of where the signing ceremony took place. It is here I said a prayer for our friend, the late Troy Fletcher of the Yurok Tribe. On this day we all remembered his commitment to this effort and to his tribe and family. He was missed, but will never be forgotten.

The late Troy Fletcher of the Yurok Tribe.

From the Headwaters in Oregon…. to the Mouth of the Pacific Ocean in California… We are dedicated to Restoration. I am forever blessed to be on this journey with the people of the river. And like we said when we removed the 1st Dam on the Sprague River in 2008…."One Down- Four More to Go! Bring Home the Salmon!

Alaska Volcano Observatory April 5 The 2016 eruption of Pavlof has had significant impacts to Alaska aviation – Alaska Airlines reported 69 cancelled flights on March 28 and 29, affecting more than 6,200 travellers. Regional carriers in Alaska such as Bering Air, PenAir, and Ravn also cancelled flights, due to ash from Pavlof in aviation airspace. Minor ashfall fell at Nelson Lagoon, a town 48 miles northeast of Pavlof on the evening of March 27 and continuing into March 28. Port Heiden, (164 mi NE of Pavlof) and Dillingham (281 mi NE of Pavlof) also experienced trace amounts of ashfall on March 28, 2016.

One of the biggest rats is the Gambian pouched rat, which can measure nearly 3 feet (90cm) from nose to tail end and weigh 3 lb (1.4 kg). Its size is one of the characteristics that has made it a popular pet, three times heavier than the standard fancy rats – which are actually domesticated brown rats. As well as fuelling myths about giant sewer rats, Gambian pouched rats that escape from private collections have caused concern in the Florida Keys, where they have been declared an invasive species. They were also linked to an outbreak of monkeypox in the US in 2003. However, the pouched rats are winning admirers back home in Africa. The non-governmental organisation Apopo, pioneers work that makes the most of their intelligence and advanced sense of smell. Known as hero rats, the specially-trained rodents can detect landmines and even tuberculosis.

"Although most rats could qualify in terms of sensitivity and intelligence, we selected the African giant pouched rat because of its long lifespan and adaptation to the conditions in Africa," says Abdulllah Mchomvu, training manager for the mine-detecting rats in Tanzania. "They have a very sensitive sense of smell and can be trained to detect specific target scents. As for the landmine detection rats I work with, they aren't heavy enough to trigger the mines but they are quite sizeable and easy to handle." http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20160407-the-worlds-largest-rats-are-the-size-of-small-dogs?ocid=fbert

Receiving a reward for detecting a mine. In Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, every morning, a medical specialist known as Chewa (a name that means brave in Swahili — but his bosses call him Mchapakazi, the hard worker) gets excited about his job. For two 40 minute sessions, punctuated by a nap and some recreational time with co-workers, he will test smears of human mucus for the presence of tuberculosis by sniffing deeply at each of 10 samples, then letting his supervisors know when he senses the disease in one. He has been taught by staff at the NGO called APOPO to know tuberculosis by its smell. Chewa is a 3-pound African giant-pouched rat.

Pfaff sewing machine - a model 2056 with many extra presser feet. Original Cost $2,000 Read this review: Product Review : Pfaff Performance 2056 Sewing Machine The Pfaff Performance 2056 is a fully-loaded, high-function sewing machine. There is a wide range of functions and features ideal for any quilting project. With such a high-performance sewing machine, the extent of its uses depends upon the sewer's skill. Possibly the most impressive aspect of the Performance 2056 is the large high resolution touch screen that provides easy access to stitches and functions. From this panel, the stitch length or width may be altered, and machine operation programs may be run. Although some may find the machine's advanced technology intimidating at first, help is readily available. Recommendations on selecting a presser foot, setting tension, threading the machine or loading bobbins appears at a touch of the Info button. The touch screen is sensitive and may be operated by hand or by the stylus included with the Performance 2056. The screen is centered and conveniently positioned just below eye level. The functions accessible from the touch screen are of particular interest to quilters. The patchwork setting, for one, measures the length of the first patch sewn and actually repeats the same length with a tie-off stitch. With this function, blocks fit better into quilts as stretching and pulling apart is avoided. With the Needle Up/Down program, the needle remains in down while the presser foots automatically raises to simplify pivoting. Also notable is the vast selection of stitches the Performance 2056 provides. In all, there are 207 utility and decorative stitches. Quilters will be impressed to know that 16 hand-look quilt stitches, including 11 antique quilt stitches, are possible. 102 decorative stitches are programmed into the machine. There is also an impressive range of satin, overlock, cross and hem stitches, not to mention the 4 alphabets. With such a vast range of choices, there is very little that cannot be created on this machine. So many helpful automatic aids are available on this model. Programming the Automatic Presser Foot Lift raises the presser foot when sewing stops. The correct presser foot height is automatically set, as are optimum

25

settings for stitch height and width. Quite useful for quilters is the constant needle piercing power. This is a great benefit when sewing slowly or through many layers of fabric. There are a number of conveniences built into this design. Particularly handy is the large compartmentalized accessory tray equipped with a Standard Presser Foot, Fancy Stitch Foot, Blindhem Foot, Rolled Hem Foot, Edge Guide/Quilting Guide, Buttonhole Foot, Darning Foot, bobbins, etc. Features Large high resolution touch screen provides access to a wide selection of programs : "Single stitch" program : Program the desired number of stitches or sequences. Sewing stops automatically and the seam is tied off. "Tie off" program : Automatically secure a seam's beginning and end. "Needle up/down" program : The needle remains down, and the presser foot is automatically raised for easy pivoting. "Patchwork" program : Seam lengths are captured and repeated for simplified block piecing. "Free-motion" program : A must for stippling, free-motion and darning. "Twin needle" : The screen indicates when a twin needle can be used. "Sew slow" function : Speed is reduced when sewing becomes difficult. "Express Sequence" function : Trial runs of a stitch sequences provides a nice preview of end results. Performance 2056 stitch package (including 9 mm wide stitches) - 4 alphabets - 207 utility and decorative stitches, including: 26 utility stitches 9 buttonholes 10 overlock stitches 102 decorative stitches 16 satin stitches 18 cross stitches 16 quilt stitches 10 hem stitches Memory : 50 memories are provided in which to save individual patterns and stitch sequences. Integrated Walking Foot : This feature, unique to Pfaff sewing machines, is a built-in walking foot. IDT guides the upper layer of fabric through the machine at the same rate feed dogs move the lower layer of fabric. The Performance 2056 is loaded with an impressive number of functions and conveniences. This machine is clearly designed with prolific sewers in mind. From the conveniently located thread cutter, buttons and touch screen to simplified bobbin winding and needle threading, the Performance 2056 is a dream sewing machine.

Very well cared for and well serviced. Perfect condition. Asking $1,000 Call Sandi Selk 541.281.4572

FCE (Family and Community Education)

Meetings are the 2nd Wed 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.

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.

Chiloquin Visions in Progress (CVIP) CVIP operates the Chiloquin Community Center, the Chiloquin Learns After School program, the Writer in Residence Program, and is the contact point for the Chiloquin Area Community Resource Committees and their projects.
