The Board of Klamath County Commissioners will jointly meet with the Board of Trustees of the Chiloquin Vector Control District on March 20, 2014 at 6:30 PM at the Chiloquin Community Center for a joint public meeting and town hall with the Board of Klamath County Commissioners. The public is invited to attend and address the CVCD and the County Commissioners. This will be a
good opportunity for citizens to address the County Commissioners with your concerns and catch up with the vector control business. The first part of the meeting will be regular CVCD business that includes appointing citizen members to the budget committee, resolutions establishing the CVCD Board of Trustees as a "Contract Board" as required by Oregon Law and a resolution for the disposal of surplus equipment as required by Oregon Law. Any person desiring to serve on the CVCD budget committee should call the Chairman at 541 783 3307 and ask for an application. The application may be sent by email or regular mail. In the last public meeting of the CVCD Board of Trustees held on February 20, it was decided to reorganize the CVCD business management plan to reflect the reality of rules and regulations imposed by the State and Federal government. Beginning at a date to be determined after July 1, 2014, all mosquito control will be outsourced by contract to a licensed pest control operator. The District is working with its legal counsel to develop the terms of the contract and request for proposal. The District will no longer own vehicles or mosquito control equipment. The proposed contract calls for the contractor will be responsible to purchases all chemicals, fuels, equipment, and supplies. The terms of the
3
proposed contract will call for utilizing environmentally sound pest control management practices. The proposed contract calls for mosquito treatment of up to 11,000 acres of land per year. The Board now treats less than 10,000 acres each year. The insurance savings from not owning vehicles and equipment should allow the CVCD to increase the amount of acreage treated while reducing the operational cost, financial risks, and liability to the taxpayers of the District. The Board approved the Chairman to apply for an EPA Grant in the amount of $40,000 to help removes sources of mosquito breeding. The CVCD is required to provide a $2,000 matching fund if the grant is approved. If the grant is approved by the EPA, public hearings will be held to determine the priority of proposed improvement projects. Dennis Jefcoat - Chairman.

How to Talk About Talking Books
Talking Book and Braille Services is a FREE library that loans books and magazines in special formats to people who cannot see standard print, cannot hold a book, or have a physically based reading disability.
But what does that really mean? Here is a handy guide to help you talk about Talking
Books!
About the Library Talking Books are not JUST for blind people. The library is available to people who
suffer from physical disabilities or illnesses that prevent them from holding a book, sitting up for periods of time, or turning the pages of a book.
Our library serves people of ALL ages. Our youngest user is 3 years old and our oldest is 104…and we have books for all tastes and interest levels!
Talking Books are completely FREE. There is no charge for the books, the talking book player, or the postage to mail the books back to the library.
Talking Books is located at the Oregon State Library in Salem. The library serves all eligible Oregonians by shipping books through the US Postal Service.
Books and Equipment What kind of books does the library have? All kinds! Our library has the same
books that are found in your public library.
All audio books in the library are narrated by professional voice-over actors.
The library has over 35,000 books in audio and 12,000 in Braille with over 100 new books added each month.
When books go out in the mail how do you know what to send? The main way that our users get books is by telling us what subjects and authors they like. They can even tell us subjects they don’t want. We call it “auto-selection.” Users can also get books by giving us lists of requests. Any time a request is available, it will go out ahead of an “auto-selected” book.
The audio books require special playback equipment—but that is provided by the library for free on “extended loan.”
What happens if the books get lost in the mail? If the books are lost or damaged just call the library—there is no charge for lost or damaged materials.
What about the player? Same thing applies—call the library and they will replace the player right away.
By the way, all books have a 6-week loan period and there are no fines for overdue books.
In addition to audio and Braille books, Talking Books loans audio magazines and videos.

Talking Books also provides access to downloadable books (BARD), NFB-NEWSLINE (newspapers by phone), and the League of Women Voters voters’ guide (during major elections).
Registration How does a person get signed up for Talking Books? The process is very easy.
Just fill out an application for service and have the last page signed by nurse, doctor, librarian, therapist, activity director, social worker, or teacher.
If you are not sure who qualifies to sign an application for somebody, call us and ask! 800-452-0292.
Return the signed application to Talking Books. We will contact you to confirm, process the application, and put a player and a couple of books in the mail to get you started.
Downloadable Books (BARD) BARD stands for the Braille and Audio Reading Download.
All of the audio books (and most of the Braille books) provided by our library are available for on-demand download.
Download the books to a flash drive for use with the player provided, or use the BARD Mobile app on your iOS mobile device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch).
This part of our library is also FREE.
History The Library of Congress started (what would become) the National Library Service
for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) in 1931 after the Pratt-Smoot Act was passed.
This library has existed in Oregon since 1932; one year after the NLS began creating regional libraries across the country.
The library was originally called Books for the Blind and was provided by the Multnomah County Library System until 1969 when it was joined with the Oregon State Library.
Talking Book and Braille Services is a joint partnership between the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped and the Oregon State Library.

(reprinted from The Garden of Eaden Facebook page of horticulturist and part-time traveller Simon Eade.) Commonly known as the Snapdragon, Antirrhinum majus cultivars include some of the most popular garden summer bedding plants. Native to the Mediterranean region, the name 'snapdragon' is surprisingly apt as the flowers has an unusual mechanism. Squeezing the base of the flower will cause its 'mouth' to snap open! There is a reason behind this floral over-engineering as the plants have evolved over time to accept a specialist pollinator, namely the bumblebees. Similar in action to some orchids, the flower closes over the bumblebees when they enter and deposit pollen on their bodies. However there is more to this plant than its mechanical party trick. Once the flowers have been pollinated, the seed pods reinforce the dragons head myth further in the most bizarre fashion. Each seed pod looks like a miniature skull, complete with hollow eye sockets and mouth agape. Each misshapen skull is unique is and often slightly alien in appearance, and of course has not gone unnoticed by early European cultures who believed that the snapdragon possessed supernatural powers. If snapdragons were planted in your garden it was thought they would offer protection from deceit, curses and witchcraft. Another myth maintains that they are able to restore youthfulness and beauty to any woman who ate them. In more modern times, association with the occult had begun to diminished. In the Victorian language of flowers, the snapdragon was used to symbolized deception and presumption. However it could also be sent by a lady to show gratitude to another.

Calling all Crocheters and Knitters – Join us in showing appreciation to our troops! We are a group of crocheters and knitters who put our hooks and yarn to good use to hand make scarves and hats. We come together to share our love of crocheting/knitting and to make a difference in the lives of our Troops. Since our launch in December of 2013, we have ladies both locally and in several states crocheting/knitting for this cause. It's our goal to donate 300 hats and scarves to Operation Gratitude by September 1st 2014. Donations of yarn and hooks are welcomed and appreciated. We now have 4 drop off locations in Oregon. For more information, please contact Victoria with Linking Loops in Klamath Falls at: [email protected] or 541-882-1047.

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. 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 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 541-783-3315.
