In Loving Memory, Chalayne Rae Treetop

Chalayne Rae Treetop, 40, passed away on Sept. 15, 2016, in Chiloquin, Ore. She was born on Oct. 14, 1975, in Klamath Falls, Ore., to Michael Raymond Treetop, Jr. and Rose Mary (Jackson) Treetop. She was a descendant of the Klamath Tribes of Oregon and enrolled member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North Dakota. She was very proud of her heritage and family of both Tribes. She attended Chiloquin High School. She enjoyed doing bead-work, Indian dancing, traveling, cooking and spending time with friends and family. She is survived by her husband, Claude Wilcox; mother, Rose Treetop; father, Michael Treetop, Jr.; son, Jarrod Charles; daughter, Shanti Treetop; brother, Alquin Treetop; sister, Michelle Treetop; brother, Shay Treetop; brother, Koda Treetop; sister, Terri Finley; brother, Lyndell Lawrence; sister, Delayna Grey Bear; and sister, Jewel Red Stone; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Carl S. Jackson; grandmother, Frances R. Jackson; uncle, Chris Jackson; aunts, Gloria McWilliams and Anna Shadley; and brother, Michael R. Treetop, III. Vandals at Work again in Chiloquin Read the Herald & News article Vandals have struck again in Chiloquin, this time targeting a local market and the Seventh Day Adventist Church on South Lalo Street. Church members found virtually all the windows in the west side of the building broken with large rocks Monday morning, as well as broken glass covering the floor. “It’s disheartening when you have a small church and you’re trying to reach the community,” said congregation member Tabitha Abel. Just up the road from the church, Clyde’s Market on West Chocktoot Street was hit by vandals on Thursday, who tore down the store’s sign and damaged their air conditioning system and a storage building.

LAKEVIEW, Ore. – With the official start of autumn tomorrow morning, the agencies of the South Central Oregon Fire Management Partnership (SCOFMP) are preparing to start prescribed burning operations. The first agency expected to begin prescribed fire treatments is the Fremont-Winema National Forest, on a unit located between Chiloquin and Chemult, west of Highway 97. Fire management staff on the Chiloquin and Chemult Ranger Districts are looking at treating the area as early as this weekend, conditions permitting. The public may notice smoke on public lands throughout the SCOFMP area in Lake and Klamath counties during the next few months. Prescribed burning is part of the continued commitment to protect communities and natural resources from wildfires. Treatments range from burning piles remaining after mechanical fuel reduction projects to broadcast underburning on the forest floor. Visitors are asked to be aware of their surroundings and watch for prescribed burning operations to maintain personal safety. Areas where prescribed burning operations are taking place will be well signed and there will be increased fire personnel in the area. If visitors are uncertain, they are encouraged to visit the SCOFMP website at www.scofmp.org and selecting the prescribed fire link on the left side to see planned operations for the day. As temperatures decrease, humidity levels increase and even a few wet fall storms move in, there is an opportunity to bring fire into the forest in a controlled setting. Prescribed fires are used to clear the forest floor of small fuels and brush without burning or killing large trees. The SCOFMP agencies – the Fremont-Winema National Forest, Bureau of Land Management Lakeview District, Crater Lake National Park, Sheldon-Hart Mountain and Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge Complexes and the Oregon Department of Forestry – work together on their landscapes and, as opportunities allow, with adjacent landowners to improve wildland and forest health. Prescribed burns are conducted when there is a window of opportunity and specific conditions and criteria are met before, and will be sustained, during and after the burn. These include temperature, wind conditions, relative humidity and fuel moisture levels. The agencies also takes air quality into consideration. “Prescribed burning is an important tool for the Forest to use for hazardous fuels reduction and forest health improvement, including wildlife habitat,” said Interagency Fire Staff Officer Barry Shullanberger. “The fires are intended to be slow, low-intensity creeping fires on the landscape. Although there are only a few opportunities for prescribed burns, they produce less smoke and there aren’t the resource impacts typically created by large wildfires.” The fall prescribed burning season lasts as long as weather permits. The burning operations are monitored and patrolled frequently to ensure public safety. Prescribed burning announcements will be placed at local ranger stations and federal offices prior to ignition. SCOFMP employees are committed to a safe and successful prescribed burning season for both the public and employees. For more information on SCOFMP, please visit www.scofmp.org, on Twitter @scofmpfireinfo or on Facebook at http://facebook.com/scofmpfireinfo.

LAKEVIEW, Ore. – As of this morning, the fire danger had been reduced from “extreme” to “high”, the Industrial Fire Precaution Level (IFPL) was reduced to Level 2 on lands under the South Central Oregon Fire Management Partnership (SCOFMP) and Public Use Restrictions were lifted in several areas. The IFPL affects lands administered by the Fremont-Winema National Forest, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Lakeview District and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at Sheldon-Hart Mountain and Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge Complexes. The Public Use Restrictions are also lifted on these public lands. The only Lakeview District BLM lands not included in this are those within the Klamath Falls Resource Area west of Langell Valley. This area is under the protection of the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF), which remains under regulated use. For information on specific restrictions in areas under ODF’s fire protection, please visit http://www.oregon.gov/ODF/Fire/Pages/Restrictions.aspx. Crater Lake National Park remains under Stage 1 Fire Restrictions, prohibiting campfires in the backcountry and restricting campfires and smoking to designated areas. For more information, please visit www.nps.gov/crla and select “Alerts”. Personal and commercial woodcutters are allowed to resume operations in accordance with their permit and current IFPL levels. Woodcutters are reminded of their responsibility to stay informed of current IFPLs and all restrictions that apply to activities conducted on public lands. Failure to comply with the fire precautionary requirements may result in a violation notice. “While the Public Use Restrictions are lifted and the fire danger is decreasing, conditions are still dry,” said Interagency Fire Staff Officer Barry Shullanberger. “As people go out to enjoy their public lands – whether it’s cutting firewood, hunting, camping or just enjoying the warm weather – we ask that they be careful with anything that can throw a spark and to make sure campfires are completely out and cold to the touch before leaving.” Visitors should also be aware of their surroundings and prepared for changing weather conditions as the seasons change. This includes reporting visible smoke that could be from a wildfire. For more information on SCOFMP, please visit www.scofmp.org, on Twitter @scofmpfireinfo or on Facebook at http://facebook.com/scofmpfireinfo. [Klamath Falls] The Oregon Department of Forestry has decreased their fire danger from an Extreme level to a High effective 09/20/2016 at 12:01 am. However, we will REMAIN in DECLARED FIRE SEASON which means the regulations restricting debris burning and timber harvest operations are still in effect. “With the forecasted weather for the upcoming weekend and week, we will stay in Closed Fire Season and Public Regulated Use Closure restrictions. The public has done an awesome job this season being considerate of the landowners that have allowed the usage of their properties and by following the regulations that were in effect.” Randall Baley, Unit Forester. The best protection measures are always preventative measures. The residents and visitors to Klamath and Lake Counties have been very responsible in their use of Fire Safe Practices and the Klamath-Lake District would like to continue that. Let us continue to not let our guard down. Be sure to follow any restrictions put in place and other general fire prevention measures to decrease the chance of or the spread of a wildfire.

This week for Chiloquin from NOAA:

Happy Equinox! Fall officially began on 9/22 at 7:21 am PDT. That's the point in time when the Sun is directly over the equator. Both day and night are of equal duration that today. It was nice of the weather to grace us with a little taste of Fall on the equinox! Temperatures will return to summer-like values for the next few days. Area webcams showing traces of snow on the grassy areas at higher elevations! Screen shots are from early Thursday morning.

Klamath Basin Monitoring Program Harmful Algal Blooms, or HABs, are becoming more widespread across the state, nation, and world. While cyanobacteria are naturally occurring, many watersheds are out of balance with altered flow patterns, increased nutrients, less shade, and higher water temperatures, all of which favor algae growth in general. Higher water temperatures though, thanks to climate change and the hottest summers on record, favor cyanobacteria over other forms of algae, posing a greater risk to people, pets, livestock, and wildlife than say a bloom of green algae or most diatoms. News coverage however, rarely mention climate change in any story. Yes, climate change is complex and applying blame to any one factor is very difficult but when the last 14 months have been the hottest months on record (e.g. hottest March, hottest, April, etc.), something needs to be acknowledged. Toxic algae has shown up in more than 40 Calif. lakes, waterways.

Massive and Mysterious Ice Fall in Tibet On July 17, 2016, a huge stream of ice and rock tumbled down a narrow valley in the Aru Range of Tibet. When the ice stopped moving, it had spread a 30-meter-thick pile of debris across 10 square kilometers. Nine people, 350 sheep, and 110 yaks in the remote village of Dungru were killed during the avalanche. The massive debris field makes this one of the largest ice avalanches ever recorded. The only event of a comparable size was a 2002 avalanche from Kolka Glacier in in the Caucasus , explained Andreas Kääb, a glaciologist at the University of Oslo. The cause of the avalanche is unclear. “This is new territory scientifically,” said Kääb. “It is unknown why an entire glacier tongue would shear off like this. We would not have thought this was even possible before Kolka happened.” Kääb’s preliminary analysis of satellite imagery indicates that the glacier showed signs of change weeks before the avalanche happened. Normally, such signs would be clues the glacier might be in the process of surging, but surging glaciers typically flow at a fairly slow rate rather than collapsing violently in an avalanche. After inspecting the satellite imagery, University of Arizona glaciologist Jeffrey Kargel agreed that a surging glacier could not be the cause. “The form is completely wrong,” he said. “It must be a high-energy mass flow. Maybe liquid water lubrication at the base played some role,” he said. Tian Lide, a glaciologist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, visited the site in August and described the avalanche as “baffling” because the area where the ice collapse began is rather flat. “We failed to reach the upper part of the glacier for safety reasons,” he said in an email, “but we will go the upper part [later] to see if we can find some more hints about what caused the glacier disaster.” http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=88677

The starlings of southern England return to their roosts every evening in winter to cozy up for the night, but before they do, they scope out the land looking for predators.

Video and story: http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/watch-magical-murmurations-half-million-starlings/ Badger Run Wildlife Rehab: The beautiful Barn Owl is sometimes called the "Ghost Bird" or more strangely the "Demon Bird". Very odd names indeed for a bird that is such a big help to humans in controlling rodent populations. There are around 30 subspecies of Barn Owl & they are found on every continent EXCEPT Antarctica. As a result they have some pretty impressive myths that have built up around them all over the world. The most common thread seems to link them with death. Some myths say they are a harbinger of death while others say Barn Owls are reincarnations of women who have died. You can find people in rural Texas today who believe these birds are actually witches who bring curses & bad luck. At least folks in India appreciate these birds as signs of GOOD fortune.

This gorgeous chimeric cat named Venus got her popularity on the internet due to her mysterious-looking "two-faced" appearance. While she can look like a villain from a comic book, she's really an adorable and tame house cat. The term chimera refers to an individual organism whose body contains cell populations from different zygotes or an organism that developed from portions of different embryos.

Humankind is loud, and research already suggests that birds alter their singing in urban noise. Now tests show that fringe-lipped bats (Trachops cirrhosus) listening for the frogs they hunt switch from mostly quiet eavesdropping to pinging echolocating when artificial sounds mask the frog calls. That way, the bats can detect the motion of the frogs’ vocal sac poofing out with each call, researchers report in the Sept. 16 Science. Jinhong Luo at Johns Hopkins University cautions about generalizing to the other 1,300-plus bat species. Many of them are already using echolocation to hunt insects and may not have a backup prey-finder method when noise complicates their foraging. Read the article

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.
