The Board of Trustees of the Chiloquin Vector Control District will be meeting Thursday June 18, 2015 at 6:30PM at the Chiloquin Community Center, 140 S 1st Street in Chiloquin in the Conference Room. The public is welcomed to attend and discuss mosquito issues with the Board. This will be the LAST TIME the CVCD meets on Thursday. Beginning Wednesday July 15, 2015, the Board will meet on the third Wednesday of each month January through October. The next meeting date after the June 19 2015 meeting will be Wednesday July 15, 2015. Business includes bill paying and our contractors report of mosquito treatments in the District. Mosquito Report: The Board received five mosquito complaints over a four month period. Three of these complaints were received in June. Light traps have been placed at various residential locations in the District. Overnight mosquito light trap count averages less than 3 mosquitoes per night to date. We have trapped thousands of midges and no see-ems. We have found “biting” midges that look like the mosquito but are in fact a “midge.” The cause of most complaints seemed to be standing water in old used tires and small depressions that hold water. Another cause is leaving outside lights on overnight. Outside lights should be on motions sensors. If you have mosquito issues or are not sure what insect is biting you, please call our District answer telephone 541 274 0132. Dennis Jefcoat – Chairman of the Board.

The Chiloquin Community Garden behind the old KTHFS Dental Modular building is coming together! Last weekend, 15 people who attended the KTHFS Food Security Program’s Permaculture Design Class put in and planted 14 raised garden beds. Another 10 beds will be put up in the upcoming couple of weeks. All of the raised beds were built by the Chiloquin High School woodshop students. Class attendees also planted a 3 sisters garden with 60 corn seeds, beans, and pumpkins.

In previous weeks, choke cherries, currants, elder berries, apple trees, pear trees, cherry trees and crabapple trees were planted. The harvest will be made available to the Chiloquin community; details of distribution are yet to be determined but tribal elders, food insecure, and those who help in the garden will be given priority. The site is open most weekdays from 10:00-3:00 for anyone who wants to come help out (a release of liability is required). If the gate is open, the garden is open. Gloves and gardening tools are available on site.

Crater Lake National Park The entire Rim Drive is now OPEN for the season, as is Pinnacles Road! This is extremely early for the all park roads to be open. All park facilities are also OPEN for the season including Crater Lake Lodge, Mazama Village Motor Inn, Mazama and Lost Creek Campgrounds, and the Steel and Rim Visitor Centers. The full compliment of ranger-led programs will begin on June 26th. Crater Lake is always a deep clear blue, but it's even clearer this spring than usual. The 8" secchi disk used by National Park staff to measure the clarity this week was visible almost 41 meters down. That's over 130 feet! They're trying to figure out why. We just know that it's drop dead gorgeous! Better come see for yourself.

NAYA congratulates youth leaders, Josiah One Star, Sicangu Lakota/ Lyackson First Nation, Leticia Velasquez, Klamath/Modoc, Lanie Grimm, Kickapoo/Winnebago, and Lofanitani Aisea-Ball, Klamath/Modoc, for being selected to attend the first ever White House Tribal Youth Gathering. All four youth answered President Obama’s Generation Indigenous (#Gen-I) Native Youth Challenge.

The four youth took on the #Gen-I challenge by displaying strong leadership skills in their community and coordinating local efforts to improve the lives of their peers. They do this by identifying and removing barriers that stand between Native Youth and their opportunity to succeed. In order to participate in the gathering, students wrote short essays with recommendations on how federal government officials and their community can support tribal youth, and how they can use their voice to help other youth succeed. You can read each student’s essay by clicking on the picture below. Only 800 students were selected for the national conference.

NAYA is proud of the leadership, accomplishments and dedication that these youth have for our Native community. NAYA is supporting them by raising funds to send these rising leaders to D.C. where they will be meeting with national leaders and Native youth from across the country. This gathering will help build a future that supports the dreams and ideas of the next generation of Native leaders.

Without the support from the community and supporters, this once in a lifetime experience will not be possible. A gift from you today will help send NAYA youth to D.C. and a recurring gift will continue supporting programs at NAYA that shape our future leaders. We want to give our students every opportunity to learn about leadership, interact with influential policy makers, and be empowered by new experiences. Become a monthly donor in June and Bank of America will match your donation, doubling the impact you make to the Native community. To learn more about our donation matching partnership with Bank of America click here. Your financial gift is a direct investment in developing the next generation of Native leaders.

Area and Road Closures in Place During Event Lakeview, Ore - The 2015 Pacific Primitive Rendezvous Gathering will be held on the Fremont-Winema National Forest from June 13 through July 1. To ensure public safety, the Forest has temporarily restricted access to the gathering site to avoid potential conflicts that could arise from event activities. The gathering is about 12 miles southwest of Paisley, Oregon, on approximately 100 acres of National Forest and private lands near the Chewaucan River. The closed area is identified on the ground with signs along the boundary of the prohibited area. Segments of Forest Service Road 3510-357 will also be closed. The 2015 Pacific Primitive Rendezvous is a historical re-enactment event of the pre-1840 fur trade era. A variety of competitions and ceremonies take place during that time. All camps, participants, traders, equipment, accessories and attire are period specific. Organizers stress the event is not open to the public, to ensure public safety and to accurately recreate history. For further information, please contact Catherine Callaghan, Realty Specialist for the Fremont-Winema National Forest, at 541-947-6255.

Partnerships will help treat vulnerable rangelands and forests WASHINGTON – U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell today announced $10 million in funding for projects aimed at restoring the health and fire resilience of iconic landscapes nationwide. Project locations span from conifer forests, deserts and sagebrush-steppe in the West to the coastal plain of the Southeast. The 10 selected projects will leverage matching funds for treatments that will affect tens of millions of acres of public land, improving the integrity and resilience of forests and rangelands. The President’s FY 2016 Budget proposes $30 million for the program to provide multi-year support for landscape-scale projects and expand the program to new partnerships. This year marks the first time Congress provided funding for the Wildland Fire Resilient Landscapes projects. The Wildland Fire Resilient Landscapes Program is a new approach to achieve fire resiliency across landscapes. The Program incorporates goals of the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy and Secretarial Order 3336, Rangeland Fire Prevention, Management, and Restoration, by ensuring that approved projects emphasize collaborative landscape-scale planning across multiple jurisdictions, lessen the risk from catastrophic wildfire, and enhance the protection of critical natural resources and watersheds. Four of the selected projects specifically target sagebrush-steppe ecosystems in the Great Basin, a focus of the Secretarial Order. “These projects will help restore critical landscapes, which is essential for mitigating the impacts of fire and climate change,” said Secretary Jewell. “The benefits of increasing the resiliency of our lands and waters to wildfires are wide-ranging, from conserving native species like the greater sage-grouse to restoring rangelands, forests and watersheds. These projects support our efforts to protect our nation’s landscapes for this and future generations.” “Making public lands more resilient to wildfire requires federal, state, tribal and local collaborations,” said Kris Sarri, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary – Policy, Management and Budget. “These projects, which represent different landscapes across the country, will demonstrate how by working collaboratively on rangeland and forest management to reduce fuels, control invasive species and reestablish native vegetation, we can make progress in restoring and maintaining these ecosystems for the communities and species that rely on them.” Selected projects take a landscape-scale approach that will start this year and include a high level of collaboration with partners. The projects will promote the restoration and maintenance of landscapes resilient

to fire-related disturbances on public lands. Funded at a scale to provide results in five to 10 years, the projects will significantly contribute to long-term outcomes. The projects selected for funding in 2015 are copied below. A map and additional information on each project are available here.

Bruneau-Owyhee ($166,000) – Located in Idaho, the project will first treat conifer encroachment to benefit fire resiliency and the greater sage-grouse. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will work with several conservation organizations, the Idaho Department of Lands and Office of Species Conservation, the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Owyhee County.

Grant Grove Peninsula ($89,000) – Located in California, the project seeks to restore fire resiliency in Sequoia groves and other conifer forests while also benefiting watershed health and habitat for Pacific Fisher. The National Park Service (NPS) will work with the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Forest Service, CAL FIRE, University of California-Berkeley, and University of California-Davis.

Greater Sheldon Hart Mountain ($3,984,250) – Located in parts of Oregon, Nevada and California, the project focuses on restoring sagebrush shrub and native perennial grass/forb communities by controlling juniper expansion. The restoration work will benefit numerous wildlife species, including several that are listed or candidates under the Endangered Species Act, as well as a number of birds that rely on sagebrush-steppe habitat. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) will work with the BLM, Summit Lake Paiute Tribe, and partners, including conservation and hunting groups, private landowners and ranching associations, counties governments, the states of Oregon and Nevada, universities and other federal agencies.

Longleaf Pine – South Atlantic ($770,000) – Located in Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina and Virginia, the project will use prescribed burning to help restore resiliency in the fire-adapted Longleaf Pine ecosystem, benefitting the red-cockaded woodpecker and other state and federally listed species. The FWS will work with other federal agencies, South Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative members (comprised of state and federal agencies), The Nature Conservancy, The Conservation Fund and Apalachicola Regional Stewardship Alliance.

Santa Clara Pueblo ($400,000) – Located in New Mexico, the project will complete restoration of the natural fire regime (the natural frequency, intensity, size, pattern, season, and severity of fire) on the mesa top lands, protecting ancient Cliff Dwellings, cultural sites, traditional food sources and watershed health. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is the lead agency, with the Santa Clara Pueblo and other partners.

Southern Arizona ($150,750) – Located in Arizona, the project focuses on control of buffelgrass – an exotic fire-adapted invasive grass – in the Southwest desert, restoring natural fire regime and resilience to the biologically rich Sonoran Desert. The NPS will work with FWS, other federal agencies, Pima County and the Southern Arizona Buffelgrass Coordination Center (government agencies and non-government organizations).

Southern Utah ($2,605,000) – Located in Utah, the project will remove encroaching pinyon pine and juniper, vary the age of sagebrush communities, and establish vegetation to restore resilience of the landscape, benefitting the greater sage-grouse and other sagebrush-dependent wildlife. The BLM will work with other federal agencies, Utah state agencies, and Utah State University.

Southwest Colorado ($557,000) – Located in Colorado and Utah, the project seeks to restore wildland fire resilience across the landscape, including sagebrush communities and river corridors. Using prescribed fire, mechanical treatments and invasive species control, habitat will be improved for the listed Gunnison sage-grouse and a variety of wetland species. The likelihood of large landscape-scale wildfires will be reduced, improving public and firefighter safety. The BLM will work with FWS, NPS and U.S. Forest Service. Other partners include counties, state agencies, and organizations.

Valles Caldera ($883,000) – Located in New Mexico, the project seeks to improve the ability of ecosystems to recover from wildfires and other natural disturbance events, in order to sustain healthy forests and watersheds for future generations. The NPS will work with partners that include the U.S. Forest Service, New Mexico State Forestry, The Nature Conservancy, Jemez and Santa Clara Pueblo, universities, Amy Biehl High School, and other organizations.

Bi-State Sage-Grouse ($395,000) – Located in Nevada and California inside the Great Basin Desert, the project covers more than four million acres and addresses fire and habitat resiliency for sage-grouse and other wildlife. This project also improves local economies by providing woodland products to the public, tribes, and commercial entities. The BLM is partnering with the Nevada Department of Wildlife, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, the Great Basin Institute, and the NRCS.

Hi! We are Bob and Kori Guy Crutcher, and we would like to notify everyone about the Wild Mustang Competition that we are promoting that will be held at the Klamath Falls Rodeo grounds in two weeks, June 27th and 28th, in the large John Hancock Building. WE live here in Chiloquin, and want to let our neighbors know that this should be quite a great show. It is the first of it's kind in the U.S. Most Mustang shows are where the trainers take the mustangs home to their ranches and train them up, then bring them out for all to see what they can do, but you never know HOW they did this....OUR show is where the trainers first meet and choose their mustangs right in front of the audience, and for the next two days, work with them, so that the audience can see how THEY would begin to put a halter on, work with their feet, put on a saddle and blanket and begin to get these beauties to trust you and become a trusted companion. At the end of the show on the last day there will be three judges and the Audience will be one of the judges, getting to have a say in who wins, (of course the judges know best, and will be given the most vote, but the audience will have a small say as well.) The final day is also a BLM silent auction of the mustangs. There will be a custom $600 Cowboy hat, made by prize winning custom hat maker Gene Baldwin, and a prize belt buckle given to the winning trainer. Go onto our website www.WildMustangCompetition.com to see who are the trainers, to get your first view of the mustangs who are chosen to come AND to buy tickets. Tickets bought before are $32 for the weekend, and $37 at the door. You can buy tickets also by calling Kori at 541-810-8858. Come, have fun, and support our community in this new show, help our town prosper by a new show that is getting national attention! (Also please know that $2. of each ticket sold goes to Klamath Falls Large Animal Horse rescue). - Thanks, Bob and Kori

Lightning ignites small fires across the Klamath National Forest Yreka, CA. –As a result of several storms moving through the area Monday and Tuesday evenings there were a total of eight small fires detected on the Klamath National Forest. Three fires are on the Goosenest Ranger District, four on the Happy Camp/Oaknoll Ranger District and one on the Salmon-Scott Ranger District. The largest of these fires was the Wildhorse fire at .71 acres on the Goosenest Ranger District east of Tennant. All three Goosenest fires are contained and controlled at this time. The Oak Knoll Fires are each under a quarter acre and are all contained at this time. Salmon River Crews are suppressing the Specimen Fire as well as supporting the Shasta-Trinity National Forest in suppressing a second fire near Packers Peak. Crews are still working to locate one fire reported near Crawford Creek near Happy Camp. On June 9th, two additional strike teams of engines (ten engines) arrived to support fire operations on the Klamath National Forest. An additional Type 2 helicopter (medium size) will be based out of Scott Valley. Fires are also active on the Six Rivers, Rogue River-Siskiyou, Modoc and Shasta-Trinity National Forests. US National Weather Service Medford Oregon We had hundreds of lightning strikes that occurred over northern California and southern Oregon sine June 8th. Coincidentally, we had over 75 new fires begin over that time frame. Lightning is 5 times hotter than the sun, so any strikes that do occur could start new fires! In addition, it's important to note that if you are outside and hear thunder, you are in danger of being struck by lightning. Seek shelter in a permanent structure or hard-topped, metal vehicle. This could save your life. Thanks to the NLDN, ODF, BLM, and CalFire for providing the data for us.

On Wednesday, SCOMFMP firefighters successfully suppressed 31 fires. The largest was the 44-acre Campbell Fire, located 15 miles northeast of Plush. The second largest was the 2.5-acre Assumption Fire, located near Chiloquin. Here is a visualization of the smoke plume associated with the Buckskin fire via HYSPLIT (a smoke dispersion model) for Monday. By the time the smoke turns and comes back north, it will likely be at or above 10,000 feet. It may make things hazy over our area, but it isn't likely to affect air quality at the ground except near and south of the fire.

The Rogue-River Siskiyou National Forest is implementing an area closure, surrounding the Buckskin Fire, now at 1200 acres, for public and firefighter safety. The signed closure order with a map can be found on Inciweb. http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/4286/ This week for Chiloquin from NOAA:

It’s unseasonably hot right now so that’s really rushing the gardening compared to normal years. It’s really too late to transplant anything but you can plant things that are established in pots. Keep them shaded and well watered for a few weeks though. Weeds are flowering early this year. Get them out before they set seeds! Project Bumble Bee Imagine if there were one million pollinator gardens in the U.S., creating a network of bee-safe habitat that reaches all corners of the country. That's the challenge laid down by the newly formed National Pollinator Garden Network. Will you join us? http://www.xerces.org/blog/are-you-up-for-the-million-pollinator-garden-challenge/

June in the Klamath Basin means fawns, lots of fawns. And along with that we see lots of "abandoned" fawns reported. Usually even if newborn deer appear to be alone, the mother is probably close by. A mother doe leaves her fawn alone for extended periods of time each day while she goes to forage. The fawn has virtually no scent and can lay motionless for many hours. This defensive technique is very effective against natural predators. It is not uncommon to see a fawn curled up quietly in a residential yard, on the roadside, or even on your front porch. If a fawn is found: PLEASE LEAVE IT ALONE. Keep the area as quiet as possible, free of people and pets. If the fawn has already been removed from the wild: It should be returned to where it was found where the mother doe is almost certainly waiting. The returned fawn should be placed as close as possible to the original location and left alone. The doe will return when she feels it is safe to do so. If you know for certain mom has been killed, only then should you call your state Dept. of Fish & Wildlife, state police, or a licensed wildlife rehabilitator.

Bird egg incubation is pretty cool stuff. Birds generally lay just one egg a day (the raptors may space them up to 2-4 days apart). But did you know most birds don't start incubating the eggs until ALL the eggs in the "clutch" have been laid? That way everyone hatches & then leaves home at about the same time. Eastern Bluebirds may even wait as much as a week after laying all of their eggs to start incubating if the weather is cold. Delayed incubation will vary among the hawk, eagle, kite, & falcon species. But owls as a group don't dally when it comes to their eggs. They begin incubating from the time the 1st egg (or uncommonly, the 2nd) is laid so their babies are staggered in hatching a day or so apart.

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.
