What is the Butte Burner Charity Run/Walk? On Saturday June 15th, 2013, the Butte Burner (www.butteburner.com) will be held at Pilot Butte State Park in Bend, OR. This one-of-a-kind event has a 5k, 10k, kids k, and 3:33 Challenge on Pilot Butte’s trail and road system in the heart of Bend.

Last year’s 2nd annual event was a great success with over 200 participants, almost double the participants from the race’s inaugural year. All proceeds equally benefit both Not Alone and Pilot Butte Partners. The event provides an immense opportunity to rally our community to engage in significant efforts to help vulnerable youth escape human trafficking and for preservation and enhancement efforts at Pilot Butte State Park. Who is Not Alone™? Not Alone™ is a nonprofit organization committed to combating human trafficking and modern day slavery. Specifically, this organization focuses on the prevention of the commercial sexual exploitation of youth in Oregon. Who is Pilot Butte Partners? Pilot Butte Partners is a nonprofit focused on enhancement, preservation, and maintenance of the Pilot Butte State Park area in Bend. Future efforts are focused on continued trail & park maintenance, enhancements to the summit area, and repairing or repaving the road to the summit to improve pedestrian and vehicle safety. How can YOU help these nonprofits get the support they need? People can choose to run or walk one of the races, or businesses can sponsor the event at the Corporate level ($500) or higher to receive race entries and business recognition. Prizes will be awarded in all categories. All children participating in the kids’ k will be flooded with free swag provided by local businesses! We have a complimentary after-race party at the bottom with live music, food, drinks, and beer provided by Worthy Brewing. You won’t want to miss out on the fun!

Let’s Pull Together Let’s Pull Together will be held in Bend, Redmond, La Pine on Saturday, June 8th and Sisters event will take place on Saturday, June 15th, from 9:00am-12:00pm. Let’s Pull Together is a noxious weed eradication event consisting of collaborative partnerships with city and county governments, park, school and irrigation districts, neighborhood and homeowners associations, the forest service and state parks, local businesses and our incredible volunteers all join together for good times and clean country (city) living. Why pull noxious weeds you ask? Noxious weeds are non-native invasive species which threaten our ecosystem. They not only crowd out native plants, but they starve wildlife, use water and create allergens. Noxious weeds also provide tremendous ladder fuel which during wildfires can radically change the speed and fury at which wildfires burn. And yes...they are trying to take over Oregon! How to get involved: Bring your weeding tool of choice, your friends, your family, your group and join in. Meet us at any one of our locations on June 8. The site coordinators and on-site noxious weed experts will assist you in identifying native plants and noxious weeds. Sites are “family friendly” for children of all ages, and for adult of all physical ability levels. Our weed pull event will be followed by a celebration for our hardworking volunteers! Festivities are free for all volunteers! Bend Festivities: Noon at the Westside Venue in the Old Mill District. The Westside Venue is on the west side of the river at the footbridge in the Old Mill District. Relax and enjoy music by Boxcar String Band, lunch from Cafe Yumm, and refreshing beverages. Prizes will be awarded to volunteers right after lunch! Please check our website to find a specific site location near you! http://www.letspulltogether.com

Reminder: Rabies Vaccination Important For Cats/Dogs Oregon health officials are reporting that a bat found dead inside a residence in Medford recently tested positive for rabies, according to Oregon State University’s Veterinary Diagnostics Laboratory in Corvallis. This is the first bat in Oregon to test positive for rabies in 2013. Last year, 14 bats (one in Jackson County), and three foxes (one in Jackson County) tested positive for rabies in Oregon. Each year, approximately 10 percent of bats tested are found to have rabies. People can take two precautions to protect themselves and their pets from bats and rabies, said Dr. Emilio DeBess, public health veterinarian in the Oregon Health Authority, Public Health Division. “Never handle bats; and make sure your cats and dogs are up to date on their rabies vaccines,” he said. “Unfortunately, bats carry rabies. If you find a bat during the daylight hours, it is probably not healthy and should be avoided.” Rabies is a viral disease of mammals that attacks an infected animal’s nervous system. The rabies strain found in the Oregon foxes is from bats. Other strains of rabies found in the U.S. (skunk and raccoon) are not found in Oregon. Rabies symptoms in wildlife, particularly foxes, include lethargy, walking in circles, loss of muscular coordination, convulsions, irritability or aggressiveness, disorientation, excessive drooling of saliva, and showing no fear of humans. Report this type of behavior to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) hotline at 1-866-968-2600. People should stay away from bats and not handle them. If you find a live bat, contact your local ODFW office. If your pet has contact with a bat, contact your veterinarian. Typically, animals acquire rabies by eating or coming in contact with a rabid bat. If you know your pet has encountered a bat or been bitten by a wild animal, contact your veterinarian immediately Recommendations: Vaccinate your pets (dogs and cats) against rabies; Watch wildlife from a distance - don’t approach or attempt to handle wild animals; Do not feed wild animals; Keep garbage in secure containers and away from wildlife; Feed pets indoors; Seal openings in attics, basements, porches, sheds, barns and screen chimneys that might provide access to bats and other wildlife. More information about rabies can be found at the Oregon Health Authority’s website: http://public.health.oregon.gov/ DiseasesConditions/DiseasesAZ/Pages/disease.aspx?did=4. Rabies Compendium can be found at http://www.nasphv.org/ Documents/RabiesCompendium.pdf.
