As part of the Stalking and Violence Project (SVP), a new interpersonal domestic violence and stalking protocol was constructed to code self-report data on different forms of domestic violence based on newly filed domestic orders of protection. Sample A random sample of 519 newly filed orders of protection (also known as restraining orders or protective orders) was drawn from new domestic court case listings that were published in legal newspapers in two cities (Midwest and West regions) between 1997 and 1999. The sample of orders of protection consisted of 519 self- reported victims and 519 accused persons. Measures An interpersonal stalking and domestic violence protocol was constructed to code self-report data obtained from a content analysis of the newly filed domestic orders of protection. The protocol was pretested using 25 randomly selected new domestic orders of protection. The final protocol consisted of 154 variables. One section of the protocol consisted of 29 residential, demographic, and family variables and 20 census tract measures of socioeconomic status for both the self- reported victims and accused individuals. The self-reported victims are the persons who are filing orders of protection to bar the accused persons from contacting them. Socioeconomic status variables for both victims and accused persons could be coded directly from the orders of protection. Therefore, 20 census tract measures of socioeconomic status for both victims and accused individuals were obtained by 149 150 Appendix A matching known residential addresses of victims and accused persons with the 1990 U.S. Census Bureau Census Tract database. Information about the incidents or problems that led the alleged victims to file orders of protection against the accused persons is contained in the second part of the protocol. This section contains 89 variables concerning the type of relationship between the victims and the accused individuals, the victims’ self-report narrative of what reportedly transpired, and the victims’ reasons for filing the orders of protection. Three to four research assistants coded the self-report narratives independently, and their findings were compared to each other in order to maximize inter-rater reliability. One dichotomous death threat variable (Yes/No) was constructed from the victims’ self-report narratives. If the victims reported that the respondents had threatened them with death, e.g., “I am going to kill you,” the responses were coded: Yes. Three stalking variables were constructed from the victims’ self-report narratives. If the victims’ narratives contained allegations that the accused individuals followed or stalked them, kept them under surveillance, or lay in wait for them, then these behaviors were coded as positive for the first stalking variable, “stalking.” Before filing the orders of protection, victims were notified that stalk- ing is illegal. The first stalking variable under-reports stalking since it may not include other behaviors such as receiving unwanted telephone calls and letters at home and at work that also are considered part of the stalking phenomenon. Thus, this variable only measures the victims’ perception of stalking as a following or surveillance phenomenon. The second stalking variable, “multiple stalking,” was constructed to be as comprehensive as possible. If the victims’ narratives contained allegations about any type of repeated and unwanted communication and intrusion, e.g., threatening the victims in their homes or at work and making threatening calls to the victims at work, then the data were coded on a scale from 1 (one form of stalking) to 7 (seven forms of stalking). The third stalking variable, “stalking distance,” was constructed based on data from the multiple stalking variable. The stalking distance variable measures the proximity of stalkers to the victims. Alleged perpetrators who stalked victims were ranked on a scale from 1 (sending a letter—least close) to 7 (being followed—most close). The stalking distance variable, like the multiple stalking variable, does not rely on the victims’ perception of stalking. The last section of the protocol consists of 16 variables related to the self- reported victims’ request for domestic court protection and the courts’ approval or disapproval of their requests. Victims indicated whether they sought court protection for a variety of complaints, including physical abuse, stalking, and intimidation of dependents. This section also contains information on whether the court approved the victims’ request for court protection in these specific problem areas.

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE ELECTIONS DIVISION JIM WILLIAMS KATE BROWN DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 255 CAPITOL ST NE, SUITE 501 Robert tayLOR SALEM, OREGON 97310 DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE (503) 986-1518 Dear Oregon Voters, Welcome to the 2014 Primary Election Voters’ Pamphlet. Enclosed you will find valuable information about candidates and issues. If you are not yet registered to vote, you have until April 29, 2014, to do so. Here in Oregon we have made it easy for eligible Oregonians to register, update your registration and track your ballot. Simply visit www.oregonvotes.gov. As your Secretary of State, my goal is to encourage all eligible Oregonians to exercise their most fundamental right to vote. If you’re questioning whether your one vote really makes a difference, then consider this: I won my first race for the state House by just seven votes. Every vote counts! Your vote is your voice, and every voice matters! As Oregon’s top elections official, sometimes I have to tell hard truths. And the truth is that four years ago in the last gubernatorial primary election total voter participation was only 41.62%. In other words, less than half of registered voters actually cast a vote during the 2010 primary. We can do better than that! Indeed, in 2010, there were some bright spots. Lake County had a voter participation rate of 63.90% - more than 20 percentage points higher than the statewide average! Close on Lake County’s heels were Harney County at 62.29% and Gilliam County at 60.05%.

    RURAL PERSPECTIVES ON MINIMUM WAGE AND REGIONAL ECONOMIES A collaborative project of North Star Civic Foundation Northwest Health Foundation December 18, 2015 [ 1 ] THANK YOU This project relied heavily on the willing partnership of our local community hosts, Kathryn Brown, Mike Dickerson, Sue Kupillas and Turner Waskom. In Astoria, Pendleton, Bend and Medford they helped to identify problem solvers and thought leaders to participate in our conversations. We also would like to recognize the many individuals along the way who offered advice, ideas, context and fair warning as we set out on this project. The list (which is surely missing one or two wonderful people) includes: Andrea Miller, Andrea Paluso, Anna Kuhn, Anne Koubisch, Ashley Henry, Barbara Dudley, Bev Stein, Brian Surrat, Christian Gaston, Cheryl Myers, Chris Beck, Craig Smith, Deborah Kafoury, Doug Stamm, Duke Shepherd, Earl Blumenauer, Gun Denhart, Jack Graves, Jack Gray, Jamie Partridge, Jason Conger, Jeremy Rogers, Jim White, John Berdes, John Haines, John Horvick, John Tapogna, Josh Alpert, Josh Lehner, Karla Chambers, Karly Edwards, Ken Thrasher, Leslie Carlson, Marissa Madrigal, Martha Choe, Maud Daudon, Nancy Hamilton, Nancy Straw, Natalie Reitman-White, Nick Beliciks, Nik Blosser, Nolan Lienhart, Paul Sonn, Raahi Reddy, Ramon Ramirez, Ryan Deckert, Sarah Joannides, Sally Yee, Scott Cooper, Sheila Martin, Stephen Michael, Steve Forrester, Sue Levin, Susan Hammer, Tim Nesbitt, Wendy Willis, Willie Smith, and Zeke Smith . Whether it was a five minute phone call, a willing ear, or a word of caution – you each helped tremendously. Thank you!

Enclosed you will find valuable information about candidates and issues. If you are not yet registered to vote, you have until April 29, 2014, to do so. Here in Oregon we have made it easy for eligible Oregonians to register, update your registration and track your ballot. Simply visit www.oregonvotes.gov. As your Secretary of State, my goal is to encourage all eligible Oregonians to exercise their most fundamental right to vote. If you’re questioning whether your one vote really makes a difference, then consider this: I won my first race for the state House by just seven votes. Every vote counts! Your vote is your voice, and every voice matters! As Oregon’s top elections official, sometimes I have to tell hard truths. And the truth is that four years ago in the last gubernatorial primary election total voter participation was only 41.62%. In other words, less than half of registered voters actually cast a vote during the 2010 primary. We can do better than that! Indeed, in 2010, there were some bright spots. Lake County had a voter participation rate of 63.90% - more than 20 percentage points higher than the statewide average! Close on Lake County’s heels were Harney County at 62.29% and Gilliam County at 60.05%.
