e l e c t i o n and e s p e c ia lly Heasure 13
A h u la unfinished business and a few apologies
First November n t h is our friend Jerome
Arnold s birthday and as he pointed out it is also
the day twenty y e a n *g ° that Karen Silkwood
«.'gf murdered If you don I know who Karen was
well she was the f ir « whistle blower on the
nuclear power industry I nti, she let the public
know the truth about the dangers of nuclear
energy there was no evidence to prove
negligence by the power companies and the re «
of the industry Since Karen s death we have
learned the frightening truth about Hanford
Rocky Flats and we have suffered Three Mile
Island and Chernobyl But she was murdered to
silence her words Jerome worked in the nuclear
industry He no longer does He wants us to
remember a woman who Io« her life for our
future safety The n eit time you drive by the
now defunclTroian plant on highway 30 think
not |U« of Lloyd Marbet and our local activists,
but think of Karen Silkwood Thanks Jerome
There were other pieces that were left out of
our October issue ONRC info more Coast Range
stuff and much more that w ill not make it into
this issue either We ask your patience We are
« ill homeless and a lot of our files and « u ff are
in storage Neil month will be better we
promise
We would like to thank our dear friends Prof
Pete Ron Logan Leslie and Rick for all their
help in moving Hopefully by the time you read
th a we w ill be in our new home if we can get
these wonderful folks to help us again
Dear Keith
What a joy to hare your tetter Vxtery teQm£ us
how much your summer in Gannon Beach meant
to you and something about your present hie a way
from ta back here
We have all sorts of thm<
f t , to tell but the
ovwrndxng concern here is e upcoming election
on November 8th Not only do vre have to watch
from afar races like the one m Texas fo r the
governorship and the race between Obver North
and Charte.-t Robb. but **• h a w a t it of kx^d races
and ballot measures in Oregon the culcome of
w h th could strongly uruact what you think ytxi
have left behind There are some more than
shghOy unsavory candrlates for the pcisit»n oi
mayor of Cannon Beach, for U S Congress from
our d u trx t, and for Governor of Oregon Most
senrsis of all however, from fxxr point of v r w ei
Ballot Measure 13, sponsored by the Oregon
Citnens Albance One of the reasons I'm
skimming right along a that I already know that
now you can sense what **■ are rettlfcf talking

The most recent confection of th a band of

So fa r all I can pick qp out of th e muck a that
there a a bttte sbm pqper back book called
I » Two MontBxte?’ atowt a bttte gtrl
with her m other and her m others
woman fnend in a non traditional family It a a
aught and non threatening tale about diversity In
the American family social u n it V.day It a simple
and modest However the OCA and their
adherents treat it as the bteral SPAWN OF THE
DEVIL HIMSELF and as though it were some
massive Tome of Devious Purpose laden with
more sciaversive «sues than the entne m tput of
Marx, Engels, Lenm and De Sadr combmed I
sqppose the OCA thinks that Heather's two
M om m as and Daddy's roommate (another book
under fire) are who really lolled Nicole Simpson
and Ron Goldman111 I am very certain that very
few of those who have resolved to vote yes on
th a measure have ever ssgn let alone read a copy
of th a book Yet the OCA claims that the GAY
AGENDA will mala- this bttte book compubury
readmg fo r every .* hnol > hiki in Oregon1 I d a t)t
that th a state contains more than a scant few
children who have either seen the book o r read it,
let alone heard of it AU th a a going on white
children are murdering children, and having
babies, are reprd by heterosexual family members
and witnessing ^.pxslhng domestic violence and
chaos at home, and urban and social deterioration
on a rampant scale all around them U tter
disregard a shown for the data which bears th a
out o r that it a highly probable that the m a p n ty
of gay people are genetically predisposed to th e ir
s e ria l orientation o r that there are already
6,000,000 children who live in a homosejftjal
nex;tear fam ily today and that one rarely hears of
th a large m monty of children suffering the sort of
abuse on a per cagpita basis that th e ir counterparts
do tn nominally heterosexual households None of
them m knowledge that only 7% of American
households today co n sa t of a white middle class
non working homemaker Mom and a legally
married white bread w inner Dad of the "Ozaae Ä»
H a m e t’ model Those te te v a » n shows of the
1990‘s were aet documentaries, they were
fantasies The ‘ troditional’ American family has
always been largely a fiction and it a, tn any case,
a train that has already left the station
Legalation against gays o r any other m m onty
grot<) m America o r m Oregon a not gomg to fix
anything It causes division, wastes tune and
money and takes away the focus from the real
problems, plans fo r which people hke the OCA
have none It a wool gathering of the most
dangerous and m sidkus sort which can only lead
to endless fact»nah.1 n, infighting and legal w tste
I hope to be able I > w rite to you a fte r etecbon
day to tnforra you th a measure has been defeated
but it a not clear at th a point what the outcome
a likely to be It a in the hands of those voters
who actually exerooe the rig h t and pnvitege of
the vote and who can also th in k1 I t ’s that simple,
but as you know it really isn 't Peopte don't bke to

that makes them think that they think

You may have noticed that Dr Karkeys has been
absent from these pages as of late and we dearly
miss his insightful and often vaguely tragic voice
We m u« inform our gentle readers that Dr
Karkeys is of course a nom de plume for Richard
Gary Keiski Gary as we call him is of Finnish
heritage a Finnish American if you go in for
hyphens The Finns are an interesting people
sharing the Scandinavian heritage grudgingly
with the Swedes Danes and Norwegians, and tn
salmon lore the closest thing to a salmon s butt
They fish Dr K s great grandfather (is your
beloved editor really going to tell Scandinavian
Jokes’ Yep1) once went ice fishing and finally
returned home with a 200 pound block of ice and
when his wife tried to cook it they were both
drowned Being a fisherman he asked in his w ill
to be buried at sea and two of his three sons were
drowned digging the grave The surviving son
moved to Portland Oregon and later his child
visited Astoria where he was recently forced to
call the police when he locked his keys in his car
with his family trapped inside Well, you get the
idea If the beloved doctor does not return to these
pages soon this form of abuse w ill continue

Our older sibling publication the North Coast
Times Eagle is planning a Special Issue in
November It w ill be dedicated to Voltaire in
celebration of what would have been his 300th
Birthday had he lived You remember Voltaire
1 may disagree with what you say but I will
defend to the death your rig ht to say it1 What a
guy Why can l the OCA get it? Anyway the plan
is for this to be a FREE issue and since the NCTE
has almost as silly an ad policy as the Edge some
help w ill be needed We suggest you p in us in
sending a check for $5 to $10 bucks (or more if
liberty burns bright in your heart and money
burns holes m your pocket) to the North Coast
