PAGE 4 October 14, 1994 Warm Springs, Oregon Spilyay Tymoo Editorial E Coosh EEWA: The way it is Letters to the Editor 7-t va? "Toon-Ush-Ah-Soon-Wit." Well lets see, now that the elections are nearing it's time to start thinking of all the issues that will be put to the voters. There will be several issues that need careful considcratioa One that really needs attention is Ballot Measure 13, "The Minority Status and Child Protection Act." This protects children from the pro motion of homosexuality in schools and Protects the basic civil rights of all Oregonians. Yep! A "Yes," vote could be a solution we all can live with on Ballot Measure 13. There has been a flier floating around in Jefferson County on mea sure 13, which gives all the details of why you should vote yes on the measure 13. Question: Shall constitution bar governments from creating classifications based on homosexuality or spending public funds in manner expressing approval of homosexuality? Summary: Amends state Constitutioa Governments cannot:....Crcate classifications bosed on homosexuality;...Advise or teach children, stu dents, employees that homosexuality equates legally or socially with race, other protected classificatins;...Spend public funds in manner promoting or expressing approval of homosexuality...Grant spousal benefits, marital status based on homosexuality;...Deny constitutional rights, services due under existing statutes. Measure nonetheless allows adult library books addressing homosexu ality with adult-only access. Public employees' private lawful sexual behaviors may be cause for personnel action, if those hehaviors disrupt work place. An Act: Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon: ...The Constitution of the State of Oregon is amended by creating a new section to be added and made a part of Article 1. The new section shall be known as "The Minority Status and Child Protection Act" and will read as follows: Section4 1 : MINORITY STATUS BASED ON HOMOSEXUALITY PROHIBITED (1) In the State of Oregon, including all political subdivisions and government units, minority status shall not apply to homosexuality; therefore, affirmatice action, quotas, special class status of special classi fications such as "sexual orientAation," "domstic partnerships" or similar designations shall not be established on the basis of homosexuaUity. (2) Children, students and employees shall not be advised, instructed or taught by any government agency, department orpolitical unit in the State of Oregon that homosexuality is the leegal or social equivalent of race, color, religion, gender, age or national origin; nor shall public funds be expended in a manner thathas the purpose of effec of promoting or expressing approval of homosexuality. That is in part of information that has been floating around here in Central Oregon. It gives a clear picture why You Should Vote YES on Ballot Measure 13. Yep! In the Olden Day's, being Gay was being happy, and a perosn who was Gay was called a Queer. But times change and there had to be some sophisticate added to those people There sure has been a lot of break-ins, tresspassing and stealing going on around here lately. It was quite bad around here in the Agency area, but when it starts getting out into the rural aras thats really sick. Yep! It takes some people a long time and hard work to pay for things that are stolen from their homes. There are families that depend on these things for their entertainment, like the use of VCR's, TV's, Sterioes, etc. Some people really sacrifice a lot to pay for some of the items for their families. And it's most likely the person who stole these items were just to be traded or sold for Drugs. What would these people do if they just got their Drugs and someone else stole that from them, it would serve them right Some things to watchout for. Hopefully helpful "Hints." When some one comes around and wants to hock, or pawn something to you, make sure the items belong to them. Also never let them inside because they may just be sizing up your situation to see what they can steal from you. While we are on the subject of helpful hints, how about suggesting to whom ever is planning on building a public rest room. Make sure you design the walls with Chalk Board and provide a lot of Chalk. This would , be for those people that like to write on the walls. As it is said, "Fools Names, like Fools Faces always appear in public places." "NUFFNow." Toe There are some families that think Sunday morning church is like a convention, each family sending one delegate.

YIKES SS SS It was said that most women could be cured of jealousy if they'd just take one good impartial look at their husbands.

Quotes from Bob Stupak, Las Ve gas casino owner, (U.S. News & World Report, March 14, 1994) on greed: We target everyone. Money's money. What's the differ ence if it's a social security check, a welfare check, a stock dividend check? "On gambling entertainment: You can't disguise this industry. You can put clown uniforms on, you can have Streisand, but it is what it is. It's our duty to extract as much money from the customer as we can. And send them home with a smile on their face. On alcohol; Benny Binion (late owner) used to say, 'Whiskey is the greatest gambling tonic in the world.' Everyone else was pouring a three-quarter shot, he said give them a shot and a half. He was right."
