Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: A couple of years ago, a friend of mine had some buttons that said “It’s getting better”. As I review the year of 2012, I am becoming a believer about Chiloquin. This is not to say some idiots, old and young, haven’t continued to do really stupid things. Those are not the subject of this letter. Train Mountain Railroad attracted kids and adults from all over the county to their expanded “Pumpkin Express” this fall. Seeing little kids, riding little trains, carrying little pumpkins, and wearing great big smiles was extremely heart-warming.. For Halloween, about a dozen local organizations opened the Big Gym for trick or treating. Over a hundred costumed kids had a safe place to play games and get free candy. Bravo! December saw the re-birth of an old tradition of the lighting of a city Christmas tree. (Yes, I said Christmas.) Carolers sang songs and the Boy Scouts handed out free hot chocolate. That reminded me of what another old timer once said about seeing the high school marching band practicing for the Snowflake Parade one morning. “It was like Mayberry RFD!” Some folks may wonder why other great happenings in Chiloquin didn’t make my top three. We had a classic car show, 4th of July parade/concert, city yard sale, Friday Market, and the annual Restoration Pow-Wow. Thank you for emphasizing my point. It really is getting better! Chiloquin volunteers continue to support the Library, CVIP, SMART, CLAS, SMILE, youth athletic programs, two Art Galleries, Tuesday Soup, Food Bank, and the ambulance and fire departments. This year the track team started raising money for new uniforms. WOW! The best part about all this is: There are a whole lot of adults doing a whole lot of great things for a whole lot of children. That’s a pretty fine gift to ourselves! John Rademacher Chiloquin 541 891 4839

Joan Rowe: I was born and raised in Adelaide, Australia at a time when ‘everyone’ knitted, and I learnt at a very young age, taught by my mother. By the time I was a teenager I was knitting complicated intarsia patterns, and since then have developed a love for lace knitting. I never considered myself an artist though, and my profession became science. I worked in research labs at the University of Adelaide, Stanford University, and finally at the University of Nevada, Reno, where my last 7 working years were spent establishing and managing the Nevada Genomics Center, a DNA sequencing facility. It was an extremely hectic work schedule for me but I still found the time to knit and photograph, and after many years of being intrigued by stained glass, I took a class in 2002 and was immediately hooked. The glass fascinates me and I take great pleasure in just looking at it and thinking about what I might do with it. I’ve now moved into fusing and mosaics, and enjoy every aspect of glasswork. When I retired in 2007 and moved to Chiloquin, no one here knew me as a scientist and I was welcomed as an artist. I became a volunteer at Two Rivers Gallery, then a Board member, and now President. It still feels a little strange to be referred to as ‘the artist’. I also have a passion for gardening and if the weather is even slightly pleasant, that is where you will find me, but I rarely spend an evening without knitting of some kind in my hands. Over the past few weeks, while rehabbing from a hip replacement, I turned my attention to dragons, but finding no commercial patterns I had to design my own, and that lead to lizards... Here is Doughty Dragon and Frivolous Frilled Neck Lizard. They are both for sale at Two Rivers Gallery, and the patterns are published on Ravelry.com.

It is likely, that if you are the victim of a crime, that the Sheriff’s Department will not respond. This is because the Sheriff’s Department is underfunded and understaffed, and not able to respond to crimes unless lives are in danger. But still, crimes need to be reported! They need to be tracked, and sometimes patterns can be figured out that might help apprehend a criminal. Crimes can be reported immediately online, and it is possible to get a print out of your report to have on hand. The direct link to the online reporting feature is http://report.citizenserviceportal.com/Report.aspx?agency=kcso

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. Storytime: 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. Story time is at Thursday 3 PM during the school year. 2. Summer Reading Program: There are many opportunities during the summer to help out with this very worthwhile program. 3. 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”. 4. Help with sorting donations. 5. 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 783-3315.
