Less than 10 million years old, the Tetons are one of the youngest mountain ranges in North America. In that time, Mount Moran has risen 6,000 feet above the valley and supported the creation of Falling Ice and Skillet glaciers. Photo courtesy of Daniel Ewert.

Dear Friends of Chiloquin Library, 2018 was a quiet year for our library, everyone is in good shape and the library is doing well, lots of patrons, good programs and lots of internet and high-speed wi-fi users. The Friends help pay for the high speed access so don’t forget to come down and use it when the low speed available to a lot of us slows you down. In 2018 the Friends were happy to be able to continue to support our outstanding Chiloquin Smartees SMART reading program with a donation of $500. They are one of the best SMART programs in Klamath County and do an excellent job of helping our children to acquire the skills they are going to need to succeed in life. It is so important that all our children get as much encouragement as possible to read that we also decided to support the Dolly Parton Imagination Library when it became available in Klamath County. The Dolly Parton Imagination Library is sponsored by the Friends of Klamath County Library who are raising the funds necessary to enroll as many children as possible. The program is totally free for any child, aged 0 to 5 years old, living in Klamath County. Once a child is registered (on-line, by mail or at your local library) they will receive a new book for them to keep, in the mail every month. The program is available in five countries, Canada, Australia, Republic of Ireland, United Kingdom and U.S.A. and, as of January 2019, they have mailed out over 115 million books. Our donation in 2018 was $500 which we consider money well spent as an investment in our children’s and our community’s future. We are still raising funds for these donations with our Community Calendar, our extremely well supported Valentine’s Day Bake Sale (many thanks to both our bakers and our buyers), and our Plant and Book Sales. We are also able to support our library staff with such items as janitorial service & supplies, paper towels, hand soap, disinfectant wipes etc., as well as the Saturday movies. Thank you to you, our members, for continuing to make all this possible with your support. Gay Jarvinen, President, Friends of Chiloquin Library.

Paul Wilson was interviewed for the Indigenous 20 something Project through the Native Wellness Institute. Following is that article. What are your tribe(s): Klamath & Modoc What’s your age: 22 Ndn Name: Hiswaqs Gena (Traveling Man) Name: Paul Robert Wolf Wilson What are the first 3 words that come to mind when you hear the word healing? Reclamation, resilience, growth

Bio/ backstory, tell us what you DO and a bit about how you came to do it. I’m a visual storyteller. I’ve used the venues of photography and cinematography to start telling the stories that I’ve grown up hearing. Stories that I didn’t realize were rare. Stories of our first foods, our lands and waters, our peoples. As I continue my works in the nonprofit space to develop programming for first foods, visual sovereignty, traditional ecological knowledge, and elderly care, documentation of those involved in the enactment of our works has been of utmost importance. Telling the stories of our present work to preserve our pasts and establish our futures is the basis of my story telling. Throughout my youth, I realized that stories of contemporary indigenous peoples were not common. There were some novels and films and works that told of indigenous peoples through very nuanced scopes. But to hear stories of people like myself, told in qualified manners by people from communities like mine, those were—and are still—uncommon. So reclamation of our narratives and imagery has been my focus. Learning to tell stories of my peoples with care and confidence, and taking the methods I use to

help tell stories of other indigenous nations has led to where I am in my path. How do you heal? Reclamation and creation of spaces. Working to teach the first foods practices my family carries has been an effort to help heal the communities of my rivershed. Relearning Maqlaqsyalanks, my indigenous language, and helping to teach it amongst our tribal youth and elders has been a process of healing our wounded spirits. The creation of recreational spaces in my ancestral lands and waters, and access for my communities has been an enactment of self-determinationfor my peoples. What is your calling? I am currently working between two nonprofits, The Ancestral Guard, and Rios to Rivers, to prepare for the removal of 4 major dams on the Klamath River. Environmental and cultural education for our tribal communities as well as the communities that surround us in our territories have been very pressing initiatives. A lot of the work we do on the river has been action based, as there is great urgency in the currently delicate political space, and the danger that many of our traditional practices exist in. Networking in nation-to-nation capacities has also been a huge part of my recent works. I have been sharing stories of my peoples and our fight for our river on international scales, and have hadthe opportunity to learn of similar stories while traveling with indigenous peoples around the world.

Do your ancestors affect what you do, how you live? If so, how? My philosophies are predicated on the instructions left throughout my tribes’ oral traditions. I have been working to reinform my diet on the tradional foods of my ancestors. I have also worked to frame my familial relationships on how they were carried precontact. My telling of stories and traveling are informed by methods my ancestors used throughout their times. Traditions also evolve throughout time, so interpreting how my ancestors would live in today’s spaces has also been influential in how I live. Who are your Mentors/ role models? My biggest role model has been my younger sister, Ashia Wilson. At age 16, she has done so much groundwork in my tribal community that many adults have not achieved. Being a young indigenous woman, she chooses not to allow lack of resources or access to waver her initiatives. Her fearlessness and determination gives me hope for the future of my peoples. I look to Dr. Tom Ball as a source of mentorship as he was instrumental in my early learnings of my treaty & the importance of sovereignty & self-determination in my nation. My friend and role model Dr. Douglas Worley has dedicated his time to teaching the importance of intergenerational leadership and knowledge to indigenous youth. And my tribe’s linguist, Joseph Dupris has brought an energy to language revitalization curriculum that gives me so much hope for our continuance. What inspires/ drives you to keep going? Stewardship. We are people of trade, and seeing the beauty of my lands, waters, and peoples, it makes me feel indebted to my ancestors. Knowing their legacy of stewardship for me, and the future generations has been the reason for the state of what I’ve inherited, has meant the inheritance of the work associated with living in my lands and waters. My nephews and nieces have furthered the dedication I have to the responsibilities of stewardship. If you could relay a mantra, message, wisdom, ism, food for thought to Indigenous 20 somethings from the US and abroad what would you say? The time for change is now. Many of our communities have been stuck in the narratives of victimhood for too long. Too much time has been spent on theorizing and waiting for the right times for decolonial works. It is time that we realize the needs of our tribes and enact the work necessary to secure our futures. We are so proud of you!

[OREGON] -- As a result of the overwhelming number of public comments received by the Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) in opposition to Pembina’s “removal-fill” permit application for the Jordan Cove LNG export terminal and the Pacific Connector fracked gas pipeline, DSL announced a six month extension for further review. Throughout the 60-day public comment period on the permit, the Department of State Lands received over 50,000 comments in opposition to the project. More than 3,000 people spoke out against the project in public hearings, including impacted landowners, anglers, small business owners, tribal members, health professionals, and many more Oregonians concerned about the impacts the fossil fuel project would have on nearly 500 waterways. The majority of attendees at hearings in Klamath County, Jackson County, Douglas County, Coos County, and Salem demanded that the permit be denied. Pembina must receive Department of State Lands approval for one of the largest dredging projects in Oregon history to drastically alter the Coos Bay estuary for the proposed liquefaction and LNG shipping terminal, as well as for the river crossings of nearly 500 Oregon waterways. The Department of State Lands has the authority and responsibility to deny this permit if the project would harm waterways or impact navigation, fishing, and public recreation. “We urge the Department of State Lands to stand up for Oregonians’ clean water by denying this permit,” said Stacey Detwiler of Rogue Riverkeeper. “Blasting, trenching, and drilling under and through nearly 500 waterways across the state would have irreversible damage to our clean drinking water and recreation-based economy.” With this extension, Pembina is now more than one year behind its schedule for the Jordan Cove LNG project. The Canadian fossil fuel corporation was hoping to qualify for all state, federal, and local permits by the end of 2018. As of February, Pembina has not qualified for any state or federal permits and has even lost critical land use permits in both Coos and Douglas Counties. In 2016, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ruled that this project did not qualify for a permit. The company filed again when the Trump administration took office. “Year after year, out-of-state corporate interests have been unable to demonstrate that this project will not harm water quality, existing jobs, landowner rights, energy prices, small businesses, and our climate,” said Allie Rosenbluth of Rogue Climate, a community organization based in Jackson County. “The only way Pembina will ever get permits is by throwing around special interest money through campaign contributions, lobbyists, and a barrage of misleading media ads. It is time for Governor Kate Brown and state agencies to stop this project once and for all. What we need is a faster transition to renewable energy and greater energy efficiency.” “As a fishing guide, I know how important clean rivers are for Southern Oregon’s economy,” said Stuart Warren, owner and guide at Stuart Warren Fly Fishing. “The Oregon Department of State Lands needs to protect our existing jobs in fishing and recreation by denying this permit for Jordan Cove.” “This project would cross 485 waterways and risk the drinking water of over 156,000 Oregonians,” said Dr. Melanie Plaut of Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility. “State Lands must deny this permit because the pipeline and export terminal is not the best use of our waterways.” The state of Oregon has the authority to stop these types of harmful projects that put clean water and the health of Oregonians at risk. The Department of State Lands can deny the permit if it determines that the 229-mile pipeline and export terminal would degrade water quality for fishing, recreation, and transportation. Today’s extension means that the Department of State Lands will be able to fully review the substantial comments submitted in opposition to the project. DSL will announce their decision by September 20, 2019. More information from the Oregon Department of State Lands can be found at: https://www.oregon.gov/dsl/WW/Pages/jordancove.aspx

World Meteorological Organization The world just had the 3rd warmest February on record, after 2016 and 2017, according to Copernicus ECMWF. Average global temperature 0.47°C above 1981-2010 baseline. Most parts of Europe were warmer than average, especially the north and east. Towards the end of the month, large parts of Europe experienced very warm and sometimes record-breaking temperatures for the month. Elsewhere, temperatures were above average in several regions. It was particularly warm over much of Alaska and the easternmost tip of Siberia and the seas to the north. Temperatures were above average in a band stretching from central northern Siberia to north east China, in south eastern U.S.A., west Australia and parts of Antarctica. Temperatures were most below average in western Canada and it was colder than normal in eastern Canada and north western U.S.A. Temperatures were below normal from near the Urals to central Asia, in much of north eastern Siberia, south east China, north west Africa, in the region of Afghanistan, the Antarctic Peninsula and in a region of north east Australia which was due to a rain event. Marine air temperatures over the major oceans were predominantly higher than average.

In early March 2019, a rash of bushfires sprouted across the Australian state of Victoria, particularly in the hills east of Melbourne. Government officials noted at least 380 small and large fires burned in the state in the first week of the month, with the vast majority caused by lightning. An estimated 70,000 hectares (270 square miles) of land burned, with significant fires raging in Bunyip State Park and around Licola, Dargo, Gippsland, and Yinnar South. News agencies reported that the entire town of Tonimbuk was wiped out by fire. Few fatalities have been reported in the state, as government agencies ordered evacuations. Read more

More than 100 dead and injured ringtail possums have been found by wildlife rescuers along a single stretch of beach in Victoria, Australia in what ecologists say is becoming an annual occurrence due to extreme heat. “We assume they’ve come out due to the heat stress heading for the water in desperation,” she said. “It’s not nice seeing a possum throwing itself into the beach and drinking seawater. It’s really desperate.” He said the situation was similar to heat stress deaths that have affected other species this summer, including the spectacled flying fox in Queensland. Scientists have also been monitoring large drops in

moth species due to climate change and recent drought. “It’s not just we’re talking about endangered species. This is a common species and it’s falling over. “That’s a pretty big reality check.” Read more Wildlife rescuers found 127 dead and injured ringtail possums at Somers Beach in Victoria during a four-day heat spell.

When researchers working in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest heard scrabbling in the leaf litter, they shined their flashlights on the ground and witnessed something never documented before: a dinner plate–sized tarantula (Pamphobeteus sp.) dragging a young mouse opossum (Marmosops noctivagus) it had killed.

Locals can no longer cool off in the neon blue waters of Rennell Island, a tiny dot in the vast South Pacific that lies at the southern tip of the Solomon Islands. They can no longer spot parrotfish swimming in the shallows, picnic on the sand or fetch fresh water from streams and springs near the sea. The reason lies just yards offshore. It is hard to miss. Four weeks ago the huge Hong Kong-flagged bulk carrier MV Solomon Trader, carrying 700 tonnes of oil, ran aground on Kongobainiu reef after becoming loosed from its mooring. Now dead fish float in the bay. The tide is black. A thick oily blanket of tar covers the surface of the water and coats beaches, rockpools, logs and leaves. One week after the ship ran around, the coral cut a gash on its side, spilling 80 tonnes of oil into the pristine waters of the bay. Now the slick extends for six kilometres. On Sunday, it could be seen spreading out from the stricken carrier, as if it was bleeding. The authorities are scrambling to get to grips with what has become the biggest man-made disaster in the nation’s history. They are desperate to stem the flow of oil before it reaches the southernmost part of the island, known as East Rennell. The Unesco protected is home to the largest raised coral atoll in the world.

These are the bees that pollinate flowers and do not sting, not wasps, which also sometimes nest in the ground Winter in Yellowstone National Park is long and brutally cold. It was -20F in Yellowstone and the roads icy and white when I came across a lone bison accompanied by a magpie. The bird was flying around the bison and would not leave him. When the magpie was not flying in the cold air, it would sit on the bison’s head and back to stay warm and seemed to be cleaning the bison’s fur. On one occasion the magpie flew off the bison’s back and landed right in front of the face of the bison and they gazed into each other’s eyes for a moment before the magpie returned to bison’s back.

Evening volunteer: The library is open until 6pm on Tuesdays, Weds 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.
