Crater Lake, OR - The North Entrance Road and West Rim Drive in Crater Lake National Park will open for travel on Saturday morning, June 15, 2019. Superintendent Craig Ackerman announced that visitors can now drive to and from the park via this popular route and access spectacular views of the lake from West Rim Drive. Patches of snow remain on the ground in most locations throughout the park – still plenty for throwing snowballs! Snow amounts are greater at higher elevations along Rim Drive. Most trails, including Garfield and Watchman Peaks remain close due to snow. National Park Service snow removal crews are now focusing their efforts on opening East Rim Drive, Pinnacles Road and Lost Creek Campground. More information will be issued when the entire Rim Drive is open for travel. Most park facilities are now open for the season. Steel Visitor Center in Munson Valley is open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Rim Visitor Center is open daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Both are staffed by park rangers and the Crater Lake Natural History Association. Ranger talks are given daily at Crater Lake Lodge. More talks, evening campfire programs, and junior ranger programs will begin on Friday, June 21, 2019. Crater Lake Trolley tours are scheduled to begin on Friday, June 28, 2019. For more information, call the Steel Visitor Center at (541)594-3100. Mazama Campground now has two loops open for camping. All other concession facilities in the park are open daily, including Crater Lake Lodge, Mazama Village Motor Inn, Rim Café and Gift Shop, and Annie Creek Restaurant and Gift Shop. For lodging reservations, please call (866)292-6720; for general concession information, please call (541)594-2255. With several feet of snow still covering much of the park, visitors should be aware of potential hazards such as slippery snow patches and falling rocks. Please use caution when driving as icy and snowy roads can still occur this time of year, especially at night and in early morning hours. Steep snowfields still exist at many of the overlooks along Rim Drive, and visitors should use extreme caution to prevent falls. Because of the hazardous terrain that exists in the caldera surrounding Crater Lake, travel below the rim is prohibited at all times. Please stay back from the edge! Be safe and have an enjoyable visit!

The Coast Guard rescued a man who fell into the Crater Lake caldera, Monday afternoon, assisting the Crater Lake National Park Service and a District 3 Technical Rope Rescue Team. An MH-65 Dolphin helicopter aircrew from U.S. Coast Guard Sector North Bend hoisted the man out of the caldera and transferred him to an AirLink Critical Care Transport team who flew the injured man to Bend for care and treatment. Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector North Bend received a call at 3:47 p.m., from the Crater Lake National Park Service rangers requesting helicopter support for an injured man who fell into Crater Lake’s caldera near Rim Village.

The Coast Guard aircrew arrived on scene at 4:28 p.m. with the District 3 rope team already 600 feet down into the caldera. The District 3 team reported they could hear a man yelling from further down into the caldera.

The aircrew was hovering above the injured man within 15 minutes of arriving on scene and conducted the hoist before landing in a nearby parking lot and transferring the injured man to the AirLink helicopter crew. The aircrew departed Crater Lake at 5:27 p.m., stopped in Roseburg to refuel and returned to North Bend. The condition of the injured man is unknown at this time.

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. -- Warming and drying weather conditions have prompted Bureau of Land Management Lakeview District fire officials to issue a fire prevention order for lands within one-half mile of the Klamath River from Keno Dam downstream to the California state line effective Wednesday, June 12, 2019, at 12:01 a.m. “With the expected high temperatures this week and next, vegetation in the Klamath River Canyon will dry out quickly and fire danger will increase rapidly,” said Todd Forbes, acting District Manager for Lakeview BLM. “That, combined with limited access and steep terrain, makes firefighting difficult and hazardous. We urge the public to use caution while recreating,p for their safety and ours.” This action is in conjunction with Oregon Department of Forestry’s regulated use closure of ODF-protected lands within the Klamath River Canyon in an effort to prevent human-caused fires and reduce wildfire potential and will remain in effect until further notice. Under the order, visitors and other users are prohibited from:

Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire or stove fire, including charcoal briquettes except at designated areas in Topsy Campground, Klamath River Campground and Turtle Camp, which are managed by BLM’s Klamath Falls Resource Area. (Portable cooking stoves using liquefied or bottled fuels are allowed).

Smoking while traveling in timber, brush or grass areas, except in vehicles on roads while stopped in an area at least 3 feet in diameter that is clear of all flammable material, including grass and weeds.

Operating any type of motorized vehicle except on roadways clear of flammable vegetation. Parking of vehicles off roadways must be in an area clear of flammable material, including grass and weeds.

Operating any type of motorized vehicle within the Klamath River Canyon lands of the Klamath Falls Resource Area of Lakeview BLM without the following:

o One shovel at least 26 inches long with a blade at least 8 inches wide; o At least one full gallon of water or a fully charged, ABC 2.5 pound fire extinguisher; and o An axe at least 26 inches long and weighing at least 2 pounds.

Operating a chain saw.

Welding or operating an acetylene or other torch with open flame. The use of incendiaries, such as exploding targets and fireworks, is prohibited on public lands at all times. Preventing wildfires is everyone’s responsibility. On average, human-caused wildfires make up 87 percent of all wildfire occurrences annually. -BLM–

INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED PIANIST HEADLINES 42ND ANNUAL SUNRIVER MUSIC FESTIVAL BEGINNING AUGUST 10TH

SUNRIVER, ORE – “Call it star quality—music likes Kern the way the camera liked Garbo." (The Washington Post). "You can’t buy it; you can’t teach it. But Kern’s got it.” (D Magazine). With her vivid stage presence, passionately confident musicianship and extraordinary technique, Russian-American pianist Olga Kern continues to captivate fans and critics alike. Now, you can see and hear her in Central Oregon on August 10th and August 12th as she adds star power to this year’s Sunriver Music Festival (August 10-22).

Olga Kern was born into a family of musicians with direct links to Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff and began studying piano at the age of five. She jump-started her U.S. career with her historic Gold Medal at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in Fort Worth, Texas as the first woman to do so in more than thirty years. Steinway Artist and first prize winner of the Rachmaninoff International Piano Competition at the age of seventeen, Ms. Kern is a laureate of many international competitions and tours throughout Russia, Europe, the United States, Japan, South Africa and South Korea.

In 2016 she served as Jury Chairman of both the Seventh Cliburn International Amateur Piano Competition and the first Olga Kern International Piano Competition, where she also holds the title of Artistic Director. Ms. Kern frequently gives masterclasses and since September 2017 has served on the piano faculty of the prestigious Manhattan School of Music. Additionally, Ms. Kern has been chosen as the Virginia Arts Festival’s new Connie & Marc Jacobson Director of Chamber Music, beginning with the 2019 season.

Kern is just one of the outstanding artists that Festival Artistic Director and Conductor George Hanson have assembled for this year’s festival under the theme: “Love Stories – Around the World with Music.” Another highlight of the season will be a Latin Spectacular pops concert on August 17th featuring Octavio Moreno, baritone; Giovanni Parra, bandoneon; and the spectacular symphonic photochoreography titled Mexico Mágico by Westwater Arts.

Weekly Chiloquin Fire & Rescue Report of Dispatches and Responses:

Lightning Strikes Wednesday night scattered thunderstorms across the South Central Oregon Fire Management Partnership (SCOFMP) area produced more than 1,500 lightning strikes in Klamath and Lake Counties. So far firefighters have identified 10 fires from the lightning activity. All fires are less than one-tenth of an acre with firefighting resources on scene. Three of the five SCFOMP have confirmed fires.

🔥 Fremont-Winema National Forest – two confirmed fires.

🔥 Bureau of Land Management – four confirmed fires.

🔥 Oregon Department of Forestry – four confirmed fires.

Firefighters confirmed six additional lightning fires Thursday afternoon. This brings the total to 16 lightning-caused fires with a combined acreage of fewer than five acres as of last night. The largest fire is 1.5 acres. There are firefighting resources on all 16 fires.

🔥 Fremont-Winema National Forest – four confirmed fires.

🔥 Bureau of Land Management – six confirmed fires.

🔥 Oregon Department of Forestry – six confirmed fires

🔥 Three of the fires are in the Bly area, with the closest being three miles to the west of town. While the fires

are small, there is visible smoke. Since Thursday, June 13, the Forest has responded to five confirmed lightning fires. The first four were less than 5 acres combined. The fifth lightning fire, discovered Saturday afternoon, is the Dairy Fire. The fire is located southwest of the junction of Forest Road 34 and Forest Road 3372, approximately 1 mile east of the Gearhart Wilderness. Nearby recreation areas include Dairy Creek and Happy Camp Campgrounds to the north and Corral Creek Campground to the south. There are no evacuations and the campgrounds are not at risk. The Dairy Fire is burning in the Box Spring project area, where prescribed fire operations are scheduled to take place in the fall. Current conditions in this area are in alignment with the prescription for the planned prescribed fire. This includes temperature, humidity, fuel moisture, winds and smoke. This has presented an opportunity to work with the natural ignition to expand the fire to meet the prescription and treat the area in the coming days. The maximum size of the fire will be 110 acres. Work is being done to ensure the fire does not exceed what firefighters can efficiently manage under current conditions.

The work with the Dairy Fire is similar to the recent Taylor Butte Fire on the Chiloquin Ranger District. Only in this case managers had a prescribed fire plan in place, the optimal conditions pre-identified, including resources at risk and opportunities, allowing the decision to be made swiftly this afternoon when the fire was discovered. Given the location of the fire, smoke will be visible in Bly, Lakeview, Paisley and the surrounding area, including nearby campgrounds and the Gearhart Wilderness, especially as firefighters conduct ignitions.

NOAA forecast for this week

People are being evacuated from their homes following severe flooding in Lincolnshire, UK Those living in 590 properties in Wainfleet will be moved after concerns were raised over flood defences on the River Steeping. RAF helicopters were drafted in to drop 270 tonnes of gravel to repair the bank on Friday.

During a washout week of intense rainfall, the Environment Agency issued dozens of flood warnings – largely across the Midlands, the north-west and the north-east – with 16 still in place across England. On Thursday, passengers on a London-to-Nottingham service were stranded in Corby, Northamptonshire, for up to eight hours after torrential rain caused a landslip.Commuters were eventually transferred to a second train but that also became stuck because of flooding on the line.

Photograph: Cpl Phil Major/British Ministry of Defence/Handout/EPA Two sinkholes forced the closure of parts of the M25 in both directions overnight, with chaos expected during the morning rush hour after London and parts of south-eastern England were drenched overnight. Some parts of the country could be inundated with more than 100mm of rain this week as system heads north. In the south-east, railway lines near Orpington in Kent and Mitcham Junction in London were flooded as the network struggled to cope with a month’s worth of rain in 24 hours.

Hailstone bombardment during a hailstorm in Munchen, Germany - June 10, 2019 Video via tag24 See the video

Intense hailstorm with hail the size of grapefruits hit parts of Slovenia on June 11, 2019, damaging hundreds of homes and cars. Parts of Germany (Bavaria), Italy, Poland, Romania and Croatia also experienced intense thunderstorms with very large hail and massive hail accumulations this week. Read more Hundreds of Indian villages have been evacuated as a historic drought forces families to abandon their homes in search of water. The country has seen extremely high temperatures in recent weeks. On Monday the capital, Delhi, saw its highest ever June temperature of 48C. In Rajasthan, the city of Churu recently experienced highs of 50.8C, making it the hottest place on the planet. Further south, less than 250 miles from the country’s commercial capital, Mumbai, village after village lies deserted. Estimates suggest up to 90% of the area’s population has fled, leaving the sick and elderly to fend for themselves in the face of a water crisis that shows no sign of abating. In Marathwada, by many estimates the Indian region most affected by drought, increasingly frequent droughts have led to more than 4,700 farmer suicides in the last five years. About 20,000 villages in the state of Maharashtra are grappling with a severe drinking water crisis, with no water left in 35 major dams. In 1,000 smaller dams, water levels are below 8%. The rivers that feed the dams have been transformed into barren, cracked earth.

Groundwater, the source of 40% of India’s water needs, is depleting at an unsustainable rate. Niti Aayog, a governmental thinktank, said in a 2018 reportthat twenty-one Indian cities – including Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad – are expected to run out of groundwater by 2020, and 40% of India’s population will have no access to drinking water by 2030.

Heavy rain affecting southern and central China this week claimed lives of at least 64 people and forced evacuation of 356,000. The affected region stretches from Guangdong to Chongqing. According to data provided by China's Ministry of Emergency Management on June 14, floods and landslides destroyed 9,300 homes and damaged 3.71 million (9.16 million acres) of crops, causing direct economic losses of about $1.93 billion (13.35 billion yuan). More than 4 300 people were rescued from floodwaters.

More than 20,000 homes in the south-west region of Guangxi are without power.

A total of 416.6 mm (16.40 inches) of rain inundated Guilin, located in northern Guangxi Province, from June 6 to 11. Parts of the province received up to 685 mm (27 inches) of rain by June 11. Read more See the video

The devastating flooding that has submerged large parts of the Midwest and South this spring has also brought barge traffic on many of the regions’ rivers to a near standstill. The water is too high and too fast to navigate. Shipments of grains, fertilizers and construction supplies are stranded. And riverfront ports, have been overtaken by the floods and severely damaged. Water, the very thing that makes barge shipping possible in normal times, has been present in such alarming overabundance this spring that it has rendered river transportation impossible in much of the United States. The Arkansas River has been closed to commercial traffic. So has the Illinois River, a key connection to Chicago and the Great Lakes. And so has part of the Mississippi River near St. Louis, where it crested on Sunday at its second-highest point on record, cutting off the river’s northern section from shippers to the south. Barges are slower and less conspicuous than trains, planes and trucks, but they can be a much more economical way to move bulk goods, as they have done around this country for generations. One barge can haul as much as 70 semi-trucks’ worth of dry cargo. They are especially useful for farmers, who use them to send harvested grain to export markets and to receive fertilizer for their next crop. A majority of the country’s exported grain is shipped on the Mississippi and its tributaries. The breakdown in river transportation is just one more burden for farmers, who are also facing low commodity prices. Some held on to last year’s crop, hoping that tariff-depressed prices would bounce back this year; now they cannot even get their produce to market.

As the climate changes, scientists warn that the Midwest and South will experience more periods of intense rain, which can contribute to floods. May was the second-wettest month on record in the 48 contiguous states, federal officials said. Read more Barges strike dam on Arkansas River in Oklahoma Video by Associated Press See the video

Joint Polar Satellite System - JPSS In central Africa, farmers seasonally set fire to the remains of old crop fields to rid them of grasses and scrub and to return nutrients to the soil for the next growing season. This has been practiced in sub-Saharan Africa for at least 12,000 years. On June 9th, Suomi-NPP captured this dramatic image of these agricultural fires burning.

In a massive survey of rivers across 72 countries, researchers found antibiotics at 66 percent of 711 sites sampled. And almost 16 percent, or 111 sites, contained concentrations considered unsafe. Many of the most drug-polluted waterways were in Asia and Africa, where there hadn’t been much data until now. The most polluted U.S. river was found in North Liberty, Iowa, near many animal farms. People should be as concerned about resistance evolving abroad as they are about resistance brewing in their own backyards. Even if wealthy countries curb antibiotic pollution, drug-resistant microbes can hitch a ride across the globe with traveling people, migrating birds or traded food and livestock. “It’s a global problem, and we need global solutions.” Read more Compared with other global agricultural powerhouses, the United States has lax restrictions on potentially harmful pesticides, a study suggests. An analysis of agricultural pesticide regulations reveals that the United States widely uses several chemicals that are banned or being phased out in the European Union, Brazil and China — three of the world’s other leading pesticide users. What’s more, most agricultural pesticides phased out in the United States are discontinued by the pesticide industry, rather than banned by the Environmental Protection Agency. Several chemicals showed a steep decline in usage before cancellation. Read more

Megachile bees, or leaf cutting bees, are solitary creatures with distinct nesting habits. In contrast to honey bees, which congregate in large hives with queens and workers, members of the megachile family nest alone in small, natural cavities that they line with leaves and petals. But in the fields of Argentina, a team of researchers recently stumbled upon something strange: a megachile nest made entirely of plastic. What this means for the buzzing critters is not clear. On the one hand, it suggests that at a time when bees around the world are experiencing a worrying decline, some species are managing to adapt to a changing environment. There is no evidence that bees are eating the synthetic materials built into their nests, but microplastics—tiny fragments that break off from larger pieces—are known to threaten a wide array of marine animals, even those that don’t ingest the plastics directly.

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!

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.
