The Chiloquin Vector Control District's Board of Trustees will be meeting on Wed July 26, 2019 at 6:30PM in the conference room of the Chiloquin Community Center 140 S. 1st Street in Chiloquin. The public is always welcomed to attend and discuss mosquito issues with the Board members. The agenda includes bill paying, filling a vacancy on the Board of Trustees, and mosquito control issues on private property.
Mosquito complaints in the District may be filed by going to our web page at www.chiloquinmosquito.org and completing the service request form or by calling 541 274 0132 and leaving your name, telephone number and address on our answering machine. The District treats for mosquitoes Tuesday through Saturday in the evening hours. The District's Center for Disease Control approved light traps are being placed in populated areas to test for the numbers of mosquitoes for the remainder of the mosquito season. If you are interested in being a volunteer non paid CVCD Board member, please come to our meetings or give us a call. All residents of the District over age 18 are eligible for appointment to the CVCD Board of Trustees by the Board of Klamath County Commissioners. We will help you with the required paperwork. Your service to the community is needed and appreciated. Time required averages about two hours a month January through October for most Board members.

July 19, 2019 The Oregon Health Authority issued a recreational use health advisory today for Upper Klamath Lake at Eagle Ridge County Park due to the presence of a cyanobacterial (harmful algae) bloom and cyanotoxins (harmful algae toxins) above recreational guideline values for human exposure. The lake is in Klamath County. People should avoid swimming and high-speed water activities, such as water skiing or power boating, in areas of the lake where blooms are identified. Although toxins are not absorbed through the skin, people who have skin sensitivities may experience a puffy red rash. People are encouraged to visit Upper Klamath Lake and enjoy activities such as fishing, camping, hiking, biking, picnicking, and bird watching. Boating is safe as long as speeds do not create excessive water spray, which could lead to inhalation risk. Drinking water Drinking water directly from areas of the lake affected by a bloom is especially dangerous. Toxins cannot be removed by boiling, filtering or treating water with camping-style filters. Contact campground management or the local health department with questions about water available at nearby campgrounds or day use areas. People who are not on a well or a public water system and draw in-home water directly from an affected area are advised to use an alternative water source because not all private treatment systems are proven effective in removing cyanotoxins. Fishing Fish caught from areas where cyanobacterial blooms are present should have fat, skin and organs removed before cooking or freezing, as toxins are more likely to collect in these tissues. Fillets should also be rinsed with clean water. Symptoms Exposure to cyanotoxins can be serious and result in a range of symptoms, from those similar to food poisoning such as stomach cramping, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, to more serious symptoms like numbness, tingling, dizziness and shortness of breath that may require medical attention. Children and pets are at increased risk for exposure because of their size and level of activity. People who bring their pets to a lake with areas affected by a bloom for recreation activities should take special precautions to keep them from drinking from or swimming in these areas. For health information or to report an illness, contact the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) at 971-673-0482.

A powerful derecho swept through the Upper Midwest on Friday night local time, July 19, 2019, leaving more than 365,000 customers without power from Minnesota Michigan. Powerful winds with hurricane-force gusts swept through nearly 800 km (500 miles) in just 10 hours. "The derecho and other severe thunderstorms erupting over the Midwest on Saturday are being fueled by the sweltering heat and humidity surging over a large part of the nation," stated AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski. "Damaging thunderstorms were not just confined to the derecho on Saturday," Pydynowski said. "Another cluster of severe weather led to funnel clouds being seen southwest of Green Bay, Wisconsin, as heavy rain has been repeating over the same areas in northwestern Michigan. There have been radar rainfall estimates of a foot in that region." Strong winds damaged homes, downed trees and power poles. Kinsman Lake in Ohio overflowed and washed away the only bridge to about 30 homes in Kinsman. Read more
June 2019 was the hottest month recorded in the 140 years since the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) began collecting global temperature data, the agency announced yesterday.
On land, June’s global average surface temperature was 2.41 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th-century average of 55.9°F, the highest June land temperature on record, beating the previous record set in 2015. At sea, average surface temperatures were 1.46 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th-century monthly average of 61.5 degrees Fahrenheit, tying June 2016 as the highest global average ocean temperature on record for June.
2019 also saw the second-smallest Arctic sea ice extent for the month of June in the 41-year record, according to an analysis of NOAA and NASA data by the National Snow and Ice Data Center. For the fourth consecutive June, Antarctic sea ice extent was also lower than average, reaching a mark 425,000 square miles, or 8.5 percent, below the 1981-2010 average.

Maiko National Park is one of the most
logistically challenging parks in the DRC and one of the most biodiverse. It is one of just two national parks in the world known to contain Grauer’s gorilla, a highly endangered and poorly understood eastern gorilla subspecies, and is also home to the endemic okapi and Congo peafowl, as well as forest elephants, leopards, chimpanzees, and giant pangolins.
The most major threat to gorillas and other wildlife in Maiko is the bushmeat trade, but this is significantly exacerbated by another threat: artisanal mining. The Second Congo War coincided with a demand spike for a mineral called coltan that forms an essential component of all phones, computers, solar panels, and other electronics.
Outside of the park, however, there is another threat to wildlife: increasing pressure from rising populations. As villages expand, they require more resources and begin to cut into primary forest to make way for subsistence crops. Satellite imagery show that trees are being cut down near Maiko. As the population expands, such habitat degradation will edge closer to the park itself—bringing even more pressure from the bushmeat trade.
Villages can be a major threat to wildlife, but they also serve as essential allies to conservation work in the DRC. NGOs working to protect wildlife near Maiko are working closely with local communities to help achieve local buy-in and ensure the long-term sustainable development of the region.

Communities in Oregon can learn how to cope with this and other invasive bugs before they arrive by watching this webinar at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ994zZ_ZA8 It's filled with tips on how best to prepare for catastrophic tree losses, such as having sites picked out where to store and dispose of wood from thousands of ash trees that may have to be cut down all at once. Photo credit: Marianne Prue, Ohio Dept. of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry. If you love birds, then please don’t use rodenticide to kill rodents in and around your home. Rodenticide kills more than rodents. It kills the birds that prey on the rodents eating the poison, such as owls, hawks, eagles, falcons, and even turkey vultures. In short, nearly every species of raptor is dying of rodenticide poisoning. And it also kills other mammals that prey on rodents, such as red foxes, gray foxes, coyotes, wolves, raccoons, black bears, skunks, badgers, mountain lions, bobcats, and even your family pets – cats and dogs. In California’s San Diego County, rodenticides showed up in 92 percent of raptors. In New York, rodenticides were found in 49 percent of 12 species of necropsied raptors. For Great Horned Owls, the figure was 81 percent. A study by Tufts University found that 88 percent of raptors have rodenticide poisoning.
12
Frequently people who find dead raptors in their yards don’t know what to do with the bodies and either bury them or put them in the trash. The bodies are taken by other animals that carry the poison up the food chain. So a raptor dead of rodenticide poisoning can kill another raptor even in its death. Second-generation rodenticides most toxic to birds include bromodialone, brodifacoum, difethialone, and difenacoum. These products are sold over the counter and approved for use by the EPA. Brands such as d-Con, Tomcat, and Black Flag are available in a variety of forms, including bait blocks and pellets. See the full list of products and their side effects here. These products will remain on the market unless the EPA cancels their registration. Walk in any grocery or hardware store, and chances are you’ll find these brightly colored boxes of poison.
People hate rodents because they contaminate our food and spread disease, but using lethal poison to eliminate your rodent problem impacts every living thing in your ecosystem. Think about the ramifications before you chose to use rodenticide. Choose less toxic alternatives that are safer for people, pets, birds, wildlife, and the environment. Your actions can result in the death of birds and wildlife that bring you joy in life. Or prevent a young hawk from ever using its wings to fly. Let’s all coexist.

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!

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.
