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,

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
-

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. For

Crater Lake National Park invites public input on the scope of
an Invasive Vegetation Management Plan in conformance with the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Invasive Vegetation
Management Plan would provide a framework for managing non-native,
invasive plants in order to protect the park’s native ecosystems.
This plan will provide guidance on preventing new infestations of
invasive plants and outline an adaptive management process for
controlling existing populations of invasive plants within the park
using manual, mechanical, cultural, biological, and chemical
methods. Information gathered from this scoping will be used to
draft alternatives for an environmental assessment (EA) of this
project. Public scoping is the initial step in the NEPA public
planning process used by the National Park Service to engage
agencies, organizations, and the public early in project planning
by soliciting input on proposed actions, environmental issues,
possible project alternatives, and pertinent sources of data.
Information gathered during public scoping will be used to develop
the range of issues and alternatives addressed in the EA. Comments
on the Invasive Vegetation Management Plan can be submitted during
a 30-day public scoping period, from February 3 until March 9,
2016. Comments should be submitted online, or sent by mail or
email. The preferred method for receiving comments is via the NPS

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.

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

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. We
have a volunteer list in the office where you can sign up to be
available for many different “jobs” and projects. Call 783-7780
between 10 AM and 2 PM weekdays for further information. If you
would like to get further involved, attend a Board meeting, held on
the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 6PM in the Community Center
conference room.
