Page 3, Klamath News 2010 Vote “NO” on 18-80! By: Taylor R. David- Public Information Dept.

My name is Taylor (Tupper) David, I was born and raised in the Valley of Klamath County. I grew up on a 3000 acre ranch. I come from a strong family of Ranchers and Rodeo people.

Throughout my life I have seen many amazing changes to the and our western ranch culture. I have a strong admiration for those who are still in the business, as many of my friends and family are ranch- ers or farmers.

What has always amazed me the most about living in this community is our general fear of Change. We are a conservative bunch to say the least!

It’s no secret the problems our damaged eco-system and water shortages have caused. We’ve all been facing this demon since the water shut-off in 2001, and now the November ballot (Measure 18-80) will feature an- other “change” that will mean “we” will truly have to “change” and begin working with one another.

Now is the time for people to stop bickering over Mother Nature and start working together so we can face these changes as a community.

We are all part of the Great Circle and whether we em- brace it or not, we are in the same boat. Why do we keep saying to each other, “Hey, your side of the boat is sinking!”

This is why I’m going to Vote “NO” on Ballot Measure 18-80. We urge people to realize the simple fact that so many coming together is already a miracle in itself.

If this great community is going to make a strong recov- ery and retain all our diverse Cultures, we must Vote “NO” on Ballot Measure 18-80!

It will secure a future for everyone for generations to come. Page 4, Klamath News 2010 Klamath Tribes Welcomes New Winema/Fremont Forest Supervisor Notice Enrollment ID Camera in Salem/Eugene

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge two special young men. Francis Kirk and "Lil" Gene Harrington. They are brothers and Klamath Tribal members. I personally have known them since they were born and have had the privilege to watch them grow to be exceptional young men.

Lil' Gene Harrington, I want to personally thank you for protecting my way of life as a proud American Indian Soldier of the Klamath Tribes. He served his Country honorably, returned home from Iraq to his wife Anita and his son Geneo. They are all home now in Salem, Oregon. Thank you and may "Grandfather," continue to bless you and your family.

Francis Kirk was one of my Johnson O'Malley kids when I worked for the Klamath Tribes Education and Em- ployment Department. I was always in the background encouraging him forward to higher education. I am proud to say that he completed his GED and is now a student at Klamath Community College pursuing Business Man- agement. Congratulations! I will always be in the background praying for you. We are all proud of you. Their mother, Marcella "Buster" Harrington, and I have been friends since we was very young; we have watched our children grow up together. I say thank you to her and them for always being there for me too.
