It's important to remember that the KBRA (Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement) is at the heart of the Vote NO on 18-80 Ballot measure campaign. It's also important to remember this ballot measure is part of a large legislative process to continue our positive efforts regarding the KBRA and Dam Removal. YOUR VOTE COUNTS!

13.6 may not seem like a very big number

But when it’s Klamath County’s unemployment rate, something must be done. Oregon’s unemployment is among the highest in the nation:

The KBRA will attract large investments in natural resources industries, creating hundreds of local jobs in construction, restoration, and renewable energy. Vote NO on unemployment. NO on 1880.

Vote NO for clean water and to protect our agricultural economy: Everyone benefits from strong agriculture. Today, Basin farmers and ranchers have no idea how much water they will have for their crops. The KBRA restores stability to irrigators – protecting a $600 million dollar industry in the Basin. Vote NO to protect agriculture and the JOBS it brings with it. NO on 1880.

NO 18-80

Klamath County’s unemployment is among the highest in Oregon: Voters are being asked if the County should stop participating in the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement (KBRA), an agreement designed to protect thousands of agricultural jobs and create new ones too. Vote NO to tell the Commissioners to keep JOBS in the Basin. NO on 1880.

Keep local jobs. Keep local control. www.NoOn1880.com

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 Sprague River 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 Klamath Basin 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 ranchers 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 another “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 embrace 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 recovery 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.

Mr. Way will visit the Chiloquin station from time to time, but his offices will be located inLakeview, Oregon. Other visitors and dignitaries were on hand from the Klamath Ranger District and the local community. The days activities began with introductions and then a feast provided by the staff and the Klamath Tribes. Traditional dishes such as deer meat, baked salmon, elk stew, and deer roast were brought by the Klamath Tribes. Tribal representatives take great interest in meeting with the Forest Service and any Supervisors as they are the caretakers of the former reservation lands of the Klamath Tribes. Informal discussions with the Klamath Tribal Council centered around Mr. Way's background, hunting, the MOA with the Klamath Tribes, forest management, government to government relationships, and wildlife and land protection. The fellowship ended with a presentation of gifts by the Klamath Tribes and a promise to continue the government to government relationship in the future.

Flu Season is Here!

Page 9, Klamath News 2010

And so it begins!...I can’t believe it is already that time of year again! It seems like the “flu season” never really ended with all the 2009 H1N1 discussion. I wanted to provide you all with a quick update on this year’s influenza season. Influenza is a contagious disease. Influenza is a serious respiratory disease that kills an average of 36,000 persons and hospitalizes more than 200,000 persons in the United States each year. The best way to prevent influenza is vaccination. It’s important to get a seasonal flu shot or nasal-spray vaccine as soon as they become available in the fall. Each vaccine covers three influenza viruses. The viruses covered by the vaccine change each year based on CDC and World Health Organization calculations about which types and strains of viruses will circulate in a given year. • Influenza vaccination is recommended to prevent influenza disease and its complications, including death. • If you contract influenza, you will shed the virus for 24–48 hours before influenza symptoms appear. Shedding the virus can spread influenza infection to people whom you come in contact with. • If you become infected with influenza, even when your symptoms are mild, you can spread severe illness to others. • The strains of virus that cause influenza infection change almost every year, which is why a different influenza vaccine is recommended each year. The 2010-2011 approved vaccine covers three different strains (including the H1N1 pandemic 2009 influenza virus): · A/California/7/09 (H1N1)-like virus (pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza virus) · A/Perth /16/2009 (H3N2)-like virus · B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus • You cannot get the influenza disease from the influenza vaccine. • The consequences of refusing to be vaccinated could endanger your health and the health of those with whom you have contact, including • your family • your coworkers • your community WHO: ALL people 6 months of age and older should get flu vaccine. WHAT: Flu Shots now AVAILABLE @ the Klamath Tribal Health & Wellness Center Medical Clinic. (For those eligible for services through Klamath Tribal Health only) WHEN & WHERE: Upcoming Flu Shot Clinics: Tues. OCT. 26th Beatty Elders Meal site (12-1pm) Weds. OCT. 27th Chiloquin Elders Meal site (12-1pm) Weds. NOV. 3rd Tribal Health S.6th St. (1:30-3pm) Weds.

Huckleberry Mountain Day Trip was definitely a success. There weren’t very many huckleberries this year but there was fun to be had by all. There were 49 elders, attendants, Wemble House Kids, & staff that attended this year’s event. The lunch was wonderful which the Elders Meal Site & Community Services Staff put together. The Wemble House Kids picked a bag of Huckleberries for each of the Elders that attended and they also drummed and sang for the Elders. In July, the Annual Elders Picnic was held at Sprague Valley Picnic area in Bly. There were 55 Elders, attendants, & staff that attended this year’s event. The Community Services & Elders Meal Site Staff barbequed and the food was wonderful. There were raffle prizes given and all the Elders played BINGO. At the end of July and the 1st week of August a small group of Elders went up to Lake of the Woods to have their annual BBQ with the kids at Culture Camp. The food was great and all the Elders that attended enjoyed the children and the beauty of their surroundings. On the day they went in August some of the children drummed and sang the “Happy Birthday” Song to Phoebe Chavez. In July, Elvis Presley was in the building at Kla-Mo-Ya again. Community Services had 35 tickets available for the Elders and 35 elders and attendants went to see Elvis and Richie Valens. It was a great concert and some of the Elders even got up and danced.
