Knapweed

of choice that may be used
next season to eradicate
the weed are picloram or
glyphosate.
Studies have shown
that the most effective, but
also the more toxic herbi-
cide of the two, is piclo-
ram. Its common name is
Tordon 22.
Picloram is selective in
what it kills but will linger
in the environment. The
less toxic glyphosate, com-
monly known as Round
Up, would kill more
weeds, as well as other
nearby plants, once and
then disappear from the
environment.
The herbicides would
be hand-sprayed on spotted
knapweed rosettes.
When considering
what mode to use for
eradication the USFS con-
siders three criteria: ex-
pected risk vs. expected
goal of eradication, cost,
and the ability to follow
through, Bulkin said.
Risk Assessments of
picloram and glyphosate
are available for the public
to read at I.V. Library.
Groups and individuals
that harvest products from
area forests, including the
shitake mushroom harvest-
ers, are opposed to the use
of herbicides in the forests,
Chapp said.
But Bulkin said that
anyone harvesting prod-
ucts from the forest is re-
quired to have a permit and
that no permits would be
issued for areas where her-
bicides are sprayed.
Others at the meeting
said nobody should be put-
ting people at risk of con-
tact with herbicides.
Chapp said she would
like the USFS to continue
with the hand-pulling pro-
gram because it is work-
ing, it provides local jobs
and gets community mem-
bers involved and educated
in weed eradication.
She cited an organiza-
tion known as the Salmon
River Restoration Council
that has been a model due
to its success at
“whipping” the weed by
hand-pulling along the
Salmon River.
The final decision on
whether or not to use her-
bicides rests with U.S. For-
est Supervisor Scott Con-
roy.
Although different
groups have different phi-
losophies on how spotted
knapweed should be eradi-
cated, they all agreed the
weed needs to be removed.
Mary Bell, a seasonal
employee with USFS, who
Shohet called her “weed-
picking hero,” has also
been picking knapweed in
another area near Onion
Camp.
Bell said it’s up to
people in the community
to take responsibility for
areas of weed infestations
if they don’t want herbi-
cides being used in the
forests.
“It’s everyone’s re-
sponsibility to deal with
weeds. I would like to see
the people deal with their
own weeds in their own
yards, streets and commu-
nity if we don’t want to see
it go to herbicides,” she
said.
births per year, each new-
born will receive a hearing
screening test within one
month of the date of birth.
Facilities with fewer
than 200 live births per
year shall provide the par-
ent or guardian with the
appropriate information
furnished by Dept. of Hu-
man Services concerning
the importance of newborn
hearing screening tests.
It also makes it the
responsibility of the facil-
ity to inform parents of the
test results and provide
contact information for
area diagnostic facilities
within 10 days of the
screening.
Tammie also submit-
ted written testimony of
behalf of the grange for
House Bill 2684, which
exempts audiologists and
physicians from hearing
aid dealer license require-
ments.
And through the
grange Deaf Activities
Program, Tammie’s efforts
have benefited Dogs for
the Deaf; given access to
surgery and hearing aids
for those in need; and pro-
vided scholarships.
As daylight
can be seen
through very
small holes,
so little things
will illustrate
a person’s
character.

PAINTBALL POPPING PROS - Six five-man teams participated in paintball competi-
tion on Sunday, July 27 at Cave Junction's DMZ Paintball competition field along-
side Upper Reeves Creek Road off Kerby Mainline Road. Teams were from Illinois
Valley, Eugene, Klamath Falls, Coos Bay and Medford, participating in a series of
competitions throughout Southwestern Oregon with their compressed air-powered
markers. Results of the event in Kerby were not immediately available.

Not to mention the
other grange activities in
which she is involved in-
cluding the food bank,
breakfasts and other fund-
raisers.
In
nominating
Tammie, fellow I.V.
Grange members, after
several other names had
been suggested during a
meeting Tammie did not
attend, selected her.
Her application was
then sent to the Pomona
level, which includes rep-
resentatives from all nine
community granges in Jo-
sephine County.
Once selected as the
Pomona winner, Tammie’s
application went on to the
state level.
While Tammie admit-
ted that such recognition is
nice every now and then, it
isn’t the reason she gives
of her time.
She said her mother
instilled in her the meaning
of volunteering.
“The only reward is
the smile on the person’s
face. Knowing that you’ve
helped make something
better than it was before,”
she said. “You get your
rewards in your afterlife.”
