Those born during the year of the monkey are thought to be sociable, innovative, lively, and mischievous. It is also thought to be an unlucky year, and downsides include selfishness, cunning, and arrogance.

No one under the age of 18 will be admitted without a

parent or legal guardian.

Director: David Gordon Green

Stars: Sandra Bullock, Billy Bob Thornton

A Bolivian presidential candidate failing badly in the polls enlists the firepower of an elite American management team, led

by the deeply damaged but still brilliant strategist "Calamity" Jane Bodine (Bullock). In self-imposed retirement following a

scandal that earned her nickname and rocked her to her core, Jane is coaxed back into the game for the chance to beat

her professional nemesis, the loathsome Pat Candy (Thornton), now coaching the opposition.

Everyone is welcome!

Office of the Secretary Agreement-in-Principle Explores Process through Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Salem, Ore. – Today, the States of Oregon and California, PacifiCorp and the federal government – through the U.S. Departments of the Interior and Commerce – announced an agreement-in-principle to move forward with amending the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement (KHSA). Under the agreement-in-principle, the parties to the KHSA will pursue its implementation through the administrative process governed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), using existing funding and on the same timeline. Members of the California and Oregon delegations introduced legislation in the past two Congresses to advance the hard-fought KHSA and two related Klamath agreements; however, the U.S. Congress adjourned last year without acting on legislation to authorize them. Though the agreement-in-principle focuses primarily on the dam removal portion of the broader pact, it states that the move is an important and necessary first step toward maintaining the broader Klamath settlements. The states and the U.S. are actively working with all Klamath Basin stakeholders – Members of Congress, tribes, farmers and others – on a comprehensive resolution to restore the basin, advance the

8

recovery of its fisheries, uphold trust responsibilities to the Tribes, and sustain the region’s farming and ranching heritage. The agreement-in-principle states the four parties intend to work with each other and the more than 40 signatories to the KHSA in the coming weeks to develop terms of an amendment to the KHSA to implement its key provisions, including providing for facilities removal. The target date for signing an amended KHSA is February 29. The KHSA as amended would then be submitted for consideration through FERC’s established processes, which involve public comment. If approved, PacifiCorp would transfer title of the Klamath River dams to a non-federal entity that would assume liability and take the appropriate steps to decommission and remove the dams in 2020. “The Klamath agreements were the culmination of years of hard work and collaboration across a diverse and committed coalition of parties – and we can’t let that local vision go unfulfilled,” said U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell. “This agreement-in-principle is an important initial step as we work toward a comprehensive set of actions to advance the long term progress and sustainability for tribes, fisheries and water users across the Klamath Basin.” “The Agreement in Principle continues the momentum built by those who crafted the original Klamath Agreements,” said Kathryn Sullivan, Ph.D., assistant secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. “NOAA considers this the first step along a new path to secure the future of irrigated agriculture and tribal communities, and the fishery. We'll continue to work in close coordination with all the KBRA parties on a comprehensive plan. Too many people have worked too long to let this historical opportunity slip away." “Oregon is moving forward in the Klamath Basin. We can’t afford to sit back and wait for another crisis to batter these communities,” said Oregon Governor Kate Brown. “Congressman Walden took a step forward by drafting legislation late last year, and today's action is part of a broader movement to work with him and others to get the Klamath Basin agreements back on track.” “This agreement marks an unprecedented coming together of parties to seek solutions to difficult problems,” said California Secretary for Natural Resources John Laird. “California is committed to the implementation of the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement and to continued efforts to achieve a broad settlement of the issues that have plagued the Klamath Basin. This is an important first step toward both of those goals.” “The certainty and protections provided by the Klamath settlement offer a fair way forward for our customers in Oregon, California and beyond,” said Stefan Bird, president and CEO of Pacific Power, a division of PacifiCorp. “PacifiCorp is committed to continuing to work with our partners in the coming weeks and months to advance this important agreement.” The four PacifiCorp dams on the Klamath River are authorized for hydroelectric power generation. Regulations require that the dams need to be retrofitted to provide fish passage for salmon, steelhead and other fish. The Oregon and California public utility commissions found that the original KHSA was a prudent alternative for PacifiCorp’s customers.

Mr. George B. López, started as the Administration General Manager for the Klamath Tribes on January 11, 2016. He brings extensive professional experience and education to the position. Mr. Lopez earned a BA from the University of California at Berkeley and a Master’s Degree from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. While at UC Berkeley he worked his way through school as a substance abuse counselor working in the local high schools providing gang disaffiliation skills to youth working towards recovery.

After graduating from UCB he continued working with youth gangs in the San Francisco/East Bay Area until his return to graduate school at Princeton University. While at Princeton, Mr. Lopez completed his student internship working for U.S. Senator Dodd (D-CT) as his legislative staffer on issues regarding youth gangs and violence and the Children’s Defense Fund as a training facilitator encouraging civic and political leaders to coordinate efforts to reduce youth violence in the United States. He also attended the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico in Mexico City for one year and completed a three month research fellowship at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. After graduating from Princeton University and for eight years, he worked as a Research Associate for Children and Family Futures, Inc., providing strategic planning and evaluation services to public child welfare agencies and alcohol and mental services throughout California.

In 2003 Mr. Lopez began working for the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California, as the Executive Director of the Washoe Tribal TANF Program; in 2006 he was promoted to Tribal Administrator of the Washoe Tribe which he held until 2012. Afterward, he became the Tribal Administrator for the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians and most recently served as the Executive Director of the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians in Southern California. George is keenly aware of the need for strengthening and protecting Tribal Nation Sovereignty, and the need to be vigilant of any challenges to the sovereignty of Tribes. He strongly believes in effective policy development and application of the policy for the benefit of Tribal members and for the future generations. His management style is based on objectives and goals with regular review of attainments. George enjoys bike riding, jogging, reading and learning the history of the local area and Tribes, and looks forward to meeting the Tribal Members of the Klamath Tribes.

How Not to Get Killed by a Cow By Elizabeth Preston

Between 1993 and 2015, cattle killed 13 people who were out for walks in the United Kingdom. Dozens more walkers received broken bones or other injuries from the animals. Murderous cattle are an understudied phenomenon, say veterinarian Angharad Fraser-Williams and other researchers at the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom. So they scoured news articles and scientific literature to learn about cattle attacks over two decades. They turned up some advice for people wishing to avoid a fight with a bovine. First: don’t try to save your dog.

In the United Kingdom, the authors explain, public paths in the countryside often cross through farmland. This means people out for a stroll may find themselves face-to-face with herds of grazing cattle. To find out how often these encounters turned ugly, the researchers hunted through scientific literature for papers including the terms “cow” or “bovine” plus “attack” or “injury.” When they narrowed the results down to papers about attacks on humans, they were left with only eight. Likewise, they searched UK newspaper archives from 1993 to 2013. This time they turned up 89 relevant articles. They also searched the Internet for British webpages about “best practice for walking among cattle.” Much more dangerous than simply hiking through the countryside, it turned out, is working with cattle directly. Dairy and beef farmers, vets, and slaughterhouse workers incur the most cattle-caused injuries. The most common injuries are broken bones from being kicked, but there are also deaths from being trampled or just accidentally walked on by the heavy animals. An American study looked specifically at attacks by bulls, rather than cows. Most of these cases were in the United States. Over 28 years, the authors found 149 fatal incidents.* Among walkers in the British countryside, the University of Liverpool researchers found reports of 54 cattle attacks over the two decades of their study. Of these, 13 resulted in a fatality. The most deadly year was 2009, when there were 13 attacks and 4 deaths. Injuries included “fractures to arms, ribs, wrist, scapula, clavicle, legs, lacerations, punctured lung, bruising, black eyes, joint dislocation, nerve damage and unconsciousness.” The scientific literature revealed some reasons cattle might attack. One ismaternal behavior. Mother cows see humans as a threat to their calves, and they may take action to protect a calf if a person gets too close. Even more threatening to cattle than humans, another study found, are dogs. Cattle are especially vigilant when dogs are nearby. The newspaper articles bore this out. About two-thirds of the cattle attacks involved dogs. In at least two cases, people were killed while trying to protect their dogs, which had spooked the cattle. The researchers found plenty of advice online about how to walk safely through cattle, some of it inconsistent: Walk boldly through the middle of a herd. No, go around the herd instead. Carry a walking stick. Keep quiet and move calmly. Wave your arms and shout if the cattle threaten you. Certain pieces of advice come up often, though, and seem wise based on what the researchers found: Be careful around mothers and their calves. Keep your dog close. And if cattle charge your dog, let go of its leash—don’t try to pick it up or protect it. More research would help reveal the reasons for fatal attacks, the authors write, as well as their frequency. It would also be helpful to have a centralized database where people could report cattle attacks. Finally, senior author Carri Westgarth, an epidemiologist, notes the cattle that were indirectly responsible for this study:

This week for Chiloquin from NOAA:

With high pressure just to our east and upper level ridging directly overhead, there will be little in the way of impactful weather during the short term. However, there will be a few things worth keeping an eye on. We will have prevailing offshore flow.This will bring some gusty winds to the ridges of the cascades and coastal ranges, especially Monday night. This same flow pattern will also result in downsloping for much of the west side. Depending on the strength of the overnight inversions, this may be enough to keep fog out of some valleys, but confidence is much too low to begin picking specific locations that will fog in and those that won`t. Those that do end up with fog or low clouds will see slightly cooler daytime highs and slightly warmer nighttime lows. All will depend on the struggle between the inversion and the downsloping flow. Also in regards to temperatures, the offshore flow and warmer air mass will result in higher than normal temperatures for most, if not all, of the region. Area ridgelines, especially those above the inversion and well into the subsiding easterly flow, will be well above normal. These locations include areas with extensive snowpack, so some melting is likely, and area creeks and streams will continue to run swift and high. This same warm and dry pattern with overnight valley fog will continue into the middle of the week, but the pattern will begin to shift a bit by the end of the short term as the upper level ridge shifts east, and southwest flow move in over the forecast area. With moisture beginning to push in ahead of an approaching long wave trough, cloud cover will increase, along with the chances for some light precipitation. Long term... Thursday through Sunday night...the upper ridge continues to hang tough on Thursday, but the ridge axis is expected to shift east into Idaho. This will bring increasing clouds over the area, but given the ridge is still rather strong, any system that moves up from the Southwest will weaken. Pretty confident it will remain dry inland. -Petrucelli

Sea level rise is caused primarily by two factors related to global warming: the added water from melting land ice and the expansion of sea water as it warms. The chart, derived from coastal tide gauge data, shows how much sea level changed from about 1870 to 2000.

Meteorologists break convective clouds into two main groups: closed-celled and open-celled. On February 1, 2016, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on NASA’s Terra satellite acquired an image that juxtaposes both types. The upper image shows an expanse of closed-celled clouds, while the lower image offers a more detailed view of open-celled clouds.

The image was from the VIIRS imager, which is on board the Suomi NPP satellite. This satellite was launched in 2011 and is the successor to the NOAA series of polar orbiting satellites. The VIIRS imager is unique in that it has the capability to measure low light level signal such as aurora, volcanoes, moonlight reflected from clouds and even street lights and oil rig lights.

A Volcanic Eruption in Japan The Japan Meteorological Agency says Mount Sakurajima, which is about 30 miles from a nuclear plant, erupted at 6:56 p.m. Friday. NHK, the Japanese broadcaster, quoted a volcanologist as saying while Friday’s eruption was dramatic, it was average compared to past eruptions. Sakurajima last erupted in September. Volcanic lightning is seen at an eruption of Mount Sakurajima, in this photo taken Friday from Tarumizu city, Kagoshima prefecture, southwestern Japan. Kyodo / Reuters

Earthquake in Taiwan The death toll was rising in the historic city of Tainan, which bore the brunt of the 6.4-magnitude quake, as rescuers scoured rubble for survivors. The earthquake toppled a 17-storey apartment complex full of families who had gathered for Lunar New Year celebrations Saturday. Rescue workers say 132 people remain buried in the collapsed apartment complex, and it may only be possible to reach 29 of them, Sky News reports. Nearly 340 people have already been rescued from rubble in Tainan, the city hit worst by the quake.

Badger Run Wildlife Rehab Here's an update on the injured Golden Eagle (with the US F&W radio-transmitter) that had orthopedic surgery 2 weeks ago. Today Dr. Tawnia Shaw performed follow-up surgery to remove one of the pins from the tibiotarsus. The eagle came through with flying colors. After we got her back in her holding cage she made it clear she is feeling much better by making quite a ruckus. She will still need to wear a splint for 2 more weeks then get another round of X-rays to confirm the fracture is fully repaired. She still has significant lead in her blood so we'll do another round of treatment for lead poisoning. Here's a photo of the little lady after today's surgery.

Monarch Butterflies in the Pacific Northwest Spectacular display of Monarchs at the San Leandro, CA overwintering site today. An estimated 10-15,000 Monarchs overwintered here this year and all of them were active today, flying, sunning, courting and mating. All this frenetic activity made searching for tags nigh impossible! With temps in the mid 70s forecast next week, these Monarchs are clearly readying themselves for dispersal and will likely all be gone within a few weeks. Thanks to Adrienne De Ponte, Naturalist with Hayward Area Recreation and Park for arranging access to this amazing spectacle!

Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre: Eagle Release Pictou Co Jan 24 In Dec 2015 we admitted a huge mature bald eagle with symptoms of lead poisoning. She tested positive and for once was at a level we thought we could treat, many others have levels so high that they are beyond treatment. She was the largest bald eagle that we've ever admitted, likely a female. These pictures will walk you through her time with us, the many people involved, her recovery and eventual release. Enjoy! *"**Eagles usually get lead poisoning by eating the gut piles or remains left behind when hunters use lead shot or bullets. We, along with the Halifax Wildlife Association, have been conducting a successful outreach program and ammo exchange program with hunters in Nova Scotia. We are now expanding to Atlantic Canada. Our goal is to convince hunters and anglers to switch to non-lead alternatives. Many hunters are switching and we are grateful for this.***** Check this link for an infographic about how lead gets into eagles

Her first day, so weakened from the lead poisoning that she couldn't even hold her head up

Giving Murdo Messer a bit of grief, we like to see this!

She was too weak to eat by herself so every day we had to grab her and put food in her mouth. Birds with severe lead poisoning can't even swallow, luckily we got this one in time!

We drove her to Pictou County, to the site where she was found. The homeowners knew another eagle had been lurking around since she left. We hoped it was her mate. She was released in the presence of us, four of our most dedicated volunteers, the people who found her, the rescuers from DNR, and the very cooperative and excited homeowners

FCE (Family and Community Education)

Meetings are the 2nd Wednesday 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, Wednesdays 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.
