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."

To the editor,
Hello from Pastor Rick. Have
you ever heard of 12 steps? It is
suggested path to deal with addic
tion issues. Here are the first four:
Step one: Admitting powerless
ness. Not just you, but all who try
to stand alone against a force in
their lives. It is not I, but we, who
admit powerlcssness.
Step two: Come to believe that
a Power greater than ourselves
could restore us to sanity. We be
lieve in our powerlcssness, so we
come together to claim a power that
is greater than ourselves to restore
our sanity.

Step three: That not only there
is the power to restore in our rela
tionships from the group meetings
and from our sponsors but from
God who is the source of our san
ity. The main reason why the group
cares and why the sponsor care be
cause the Lord (Higher Power)
cares.
Step four: Making an inventory.
Who am I? To regain life, to have
some control of the sanity that
comes back to you. You must look
at yourself. To write down all that
is bad and to write down all that is
good will give us a clearer picture
to begin to answer the question;
Collage efforts
tributions made by each of us to
Jefferson County. What better way
to become friends than by joining
efforts toward this very special day.
The arts and crafts committee will
be having a meeting some time in the
late two week of October. Please
come and join us. Get involved and
make some new friends. If you're

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."
See you in church

To the Editor,
I am writing in hopes that somc-V
one could help in locating a Medi
cine Man. We are in need of being
able to correspond with him. Also,
we need a person who has been in or
has knowledge of the Sun Dance. We
have some real strong warriors here
who are interested and are preparing
themselves for that day in their life to
come.
I do appreciate all you can do for
these men. Also, we like to thank all
of you for the newspaper we receive
from you.
