East Rim Drive Open to Nonmotorized Recreation on September 14 and 21 CRATER LAKE, OREGON – Crater Lake National Park, in partnership with Discover Klamath, will host the seventh annual Ride the Rim days on September 14 and 21, 2019. On these consecutive Saturdays, the event will take place from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. East Rim Drive from North Junction to Park Headquarters will be closed to motorized vehicles from 10:00 PM Friday (September 13th and 20th) night before the event to 6:00 PM Saturday (September 14th and 21st) to allow for nonmotorized recreation including biking, hiking, and running. The event is free, but normal park entrance fees apply. Superintendent Craig W. Ackerman said, “Ride the Rim has grown in popularity each year. It provides an opportunity to experience East Rim Drive in a unique way, under your own power, whether you’re on a bike or on your own two feet. It is a strenuous endeavor, but the rewards of a slower pace, opportunities for quiet reflection, and healthy, vigorous recreation make it a special experience for many people.” In accordance with the new NPS policy, e-bikes (low-speed, electric bicycles with power assistance) are permitted as part of this event. The operator of an e-bike may only use the motor to assist pedal propulsion. The motor may not be used to propel an e-bike without the rider also pedaling, except in locations open to public motor vehicle traffic. Visitors on these days should expect a large number of bicyclists on park roads. Please ride and drive with caution and patience. Cyclists should ride single-file when sharing the road with motorists. Ride the Rim parking is at North Junction, Park Headquarters, and the Picnic Hill area of Rim Village. Participants are encouraged to share rides to help ease parking congestion. A free shuttle will transport participants to the start of their Ride the Rim experience or to their vehicles at the end. The shuttle will run between North Junction, Rim Village, and Park Headquarters. The shuttle does not carry bicycles in an effort to accommodate more people. A person or people from each party will need to remain with bicycles while members of their party park or retrieve vehicles. For single riders, there will be a
limited bike valet at North Junction and Park Headquarters. Lost Creek Campground will close on the nights of September 13, 14, 20, and 21 to accommodate volunteers working to support Ride the Rim. Mazama Campground will be open on these days. For more information visit www.RideTheRimOregon.com

Many artists from Two Rivers Art Gallery in Chiloquin are showing a variety of local art at the Main Library in Klamath Falls on Klamath Avenue throughout the month of September.
Two Rivers Art Gallery & Gift Shop has 3 new artists. Come and see more of their great work! Gale Holt
Gale creates wonderful pastel pictures and loves using pastels because they are easy and take so little time. He started painting when he could no longer play and enjoy the sport of tennis. Gale has won awards in Oakland, El Cerrito, Klamath County Fair, Crescent City, and several more awards for honorable mention in art shows. Any scene inspires Gale whether there is a lot of color or very little color. He chose Two Rivers Art Gallery & Gift Shop because it is beautiful with a lot of nice people and great art. He is a member of Art du jour Gallery in Medford, Oregon and their Art Association. Welcome to our Gallery Gale!
Gale Tepper Gale works with wood and creates beautiful detailed drift boats. He is fascinated by their natural beauty both in coloration and flow of its grains. As a youth, he loved fishing, miniature, and artistic endeavors. He has been handcrafting wood for more than twenty years – creating is a deep part of who he is as an artist. Gale chose Two Rivers Art Gallery because of its openness and the encouragement given to all their artists whether they are new or professional artists. Gale is inspired by his love to create – to see the vision in his mind take shape in the physical beauty of wood. He also enjoys creating items that spark great outdoor
memories for individuals. Two Rivers Art Gallery is the first gallery where he has shown his work. He hopes to be a part of this year’s Sagebrush Rendezvous Art Exhibit held at the Running Y Resort. Welcome Gale! Jeannette Reid
Jeannette works with Pendleton wool creating a variety of clothes for little ones and adults. Her beautiful work comes from a love of vibrant colors and the American tradition it represents. She wants to learn more about her roots and their traditions. She has had awards in 3D animation and digital movie editing from Video Symphony Lightwave Media School in Los Angeles, Ca. Jeannette enjoys volunteering locally and loves expressing herself through art.
Jeannette has already volunteered for the Gallery and has been a great help. We look forward to using her skills to help the director with various paperwork and having her meet the customers who come into our gallery. A great big welcome!

Parts of eastern Spain received what in some places was the heaviest rainfall on record on Thursday, as storms wreaked widespread destruction and killed at least two people. Muddy water rushed through streets, washing away cars, and almost reached the tops of the front doors of houses along the riverbank. Water also overflowed the Pantano de Almansa dam. The Clariano rose nine metres (30ft) in two hours around the Valencia town of Aielo de Malferit and destroyed a 16th-century bridge, according to the local mayor Juan Rafael Espí.

Tropical Storm "Podul" and Tropical Depression "Kajiki" left a wide region across several countries flooded more than a week after their passage. Flood-related fatalities have reached 7 in Cambodia and 14 in Laos on September 11, 2019. The floods left around 158,000 families affected and 4,300 establishments destroyed in Cambodia. Meanwhile, floodings caused 14 fatalities and one person missing in Laos. Over 572,000 people are still struggling with the consequences, while 102,000 have been evacuated on September 11. Approximately 400 mm (15.7 inches) of rainfall was recorded in southern parts of Laos, which caused massive destruction to infrastructures and fields. One local described the situation, saying that the whole district is flooded and in some areas, the water reaches 10 meters high (32.8 feet). Read more

A very rare Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) event continues unfolding above the South Pole. This SSW could go down in history as the strongest warming event on record, NIWA said, adding there is increased risk for southerlies in New Zealand into October. SSW events are rare in the southern hemisphere, with only two in New Zealand in recorded times - one in September 2002 and the other in September 2010 The Australian Bureau of Meteorology is also predicting it as the strongest Antarctic warming on record, likely to exceed the previous record of September 2002 when New Zealand experienced its coldest October in 20 years. For regions directly in the path of the strongest westerlies, which includes western Tasmania, New Zealand’s South Island, and Patagonia in South America, this generally results in more storminess and rainfall, and colder temperatures. But for subtropical Australia, which largely sits north of the main belt of westerlies, the shift results in reduced rainfall, clearer skies, and warmer temperatures. Past stratospheric warming events and associated wind changes have had their strongest effects in NSW and southern Queensland, where springtime temperatures increased, rainfall decreased and heatwaves and fire risk rose. Read more Firefighters in New South Wales and Queensland are gearing up for a week of unseasonably warm weather as they continue to battle blazes across the two states. Conditions have eased since the strong winds earlier this week fanned more than 130 fires across Queensland and New South Wales, but there are still 70 fires still burning in Queensland and 45 south of the border in NSW. The Actuaries Institute’s quarterly climate index released this week also showed autumn 2019 ranked as the second-highest for extreme temperatures since the index started in 1981. Read more

With winter approaching, White-crowned Sparrows are migrating south from North America’s boreal forest to central and southern United States and Mexico, sometimes flying hundreds of miles in one night. The weeks-long trek is already a major endeavor for the one-ounce songbirds, and pesticides may be making the journey even more perilous, a new study shows. When these birds make pit stops on farmland to rest and refuel, they risk exposure to pesticides, including widely-used neonicotinoids (or “neonics”)—insecticides that have been shown to negatively impact bees in the wild as well as birds studied in labs. Migrating birds are exposed to these chemicals when they eat neonics-coated seeds. A new study published online today in Science provides the first evidence that neonics harm songbird populations in the wild. University of Saskatchewan researchers found that White-crowned Sparrows that consumed small doses of a neonic called imidacloprid suffered rapid weight loss and delayed migration, both of which can hinder birds’ survival and ability to reproduce.

Hummingbirds are migratory creatures. And we are beginning to see fewer and fewer hummingbirds as the fall migration takes place in August, 2019, and into September. Many hummingbirds spend the winter in Central America or Mexico, and migrate north to their breeding grounds in the southern U.S. and western states as early as February, and to areas further north into Canada later in the spring. The first arrivals in spring are usually males. During migration, a hummingbird's heart beats up to 1,260 times a minute, and its wings flap 15 to 80 times a second. To support this high energy level, a hummingbird will typically gain 25-40% of their body weight before they start migration in order to make the long trek over land, and water. They fly alone, often on the same path they have flown earlier in their life, and fly low, just above tree tops or water. Young hummingbirds must navigate without parental guidance, or previous flight experience.
Research indicates a hummingbird normally can travel as many as 23 miles in one day. At that rate it can take several weeks to reach their wintering grounds from summer breeding grounds in the northern U.S. or southern Canada. But in certain circumstances, like the journey over the Gulf of Mexico, they can fly for more extended lengths of time, like 22 hours, nonstop! Of the Pacific Northwest hummingbirds, Anna’s is the only one that doesn’t always migrate south to warmer areas in winter. Read more
A gentoo penguin – the fastest underwater swimmer of all penguins – flees for its life as a leopard seal bursts out of the water. Leopard seals are formidable predators. Females can be 3.5 metres long and weigh more than 500 kilograms, males slightly less. Their slender bodies are built for speed, with wide jaws bearing long canines and sharply pointed molars.

Faced with a looming ferocious summer with little rain forecast, the New South Wales government has embarked on a Noah’s Ark type operation to move native fish from the Lower Darling – part of Australia’s most significant river system – to safe havens before high temperatures return to the already stressed river basin. Professor Fran Sheldon, from Griffith University’s Australian Rivers Institute, said only one surviving colony of river mussels had been found along the river and there were signs that river red gums were under severe stress. “If the river red gums die, and some are hundreds of years old, there will be a domino effect. Banks will collapse, there will be massive erosion and it will send sediments down the river.”
Last December and January fish began dying in their hundreds of thousands in the far west of the state at Menindee, leaving weirs and waterholes carpeted with dead fish. While fish deaths have occurred in the past, the scale was unprecedented and stunned Australians. Several scientific reports said the lack of flow in the river due to the drought and exacerbated by irrigation upstream were to blame.

The Nautilus researchers believe this unusual critter belongs to the Cirroteuthidae family. The ship's remote underwater camera spotted the enigmatic cephalopod at a depth of 5,250 feet (1,600 meters) while investigating the waters near the
uninhabited Baker Island in the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument. While we often look to space exploration to be amazed, Nautilus' work is a powerful reminder of the marvels beneath the waves. Read more See the video

The Quail Trail Schedule has been revised, effective Monday 10/08/2018. 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.
