I was a shy 20 year old boy living on my sister’s couch, working in a coffee shop in the artsy west-end of town. A co-worker saw some of the sketches I had done of Glasgow and said I could help her paint some signs at a local restaurant. I was terrified but went along and did my best. It ended up being a turning point in my life. For two weeks I was paid to draw and paint. It felt like a miracle. This experience led to an epiphany in the form of a question: “What if I could get paid to learn how to paint?” Back at the coffee shop this question consumed me for a week and then compelled me to quit my job. I had no money, no connections, no experience, no materials and no plan but I did have a dream. That dream made a lot more sense to me than my current path of drifting from job to job without true purpose. I gave myself one year to learn how to paint watercolors. My plan was to paint mini watercolor paintings, put them in frames and sell them on the streets to tourists and locals for $5 each. It was during those cold, wet and bleak days in the alleys of Glasgow that I found a passion for the beauty of the world and a commitment for creating honest, heartfelt and positive art. By the end of the first year I was supporting myself as an artist by selling over 100 paintings a week on the streets of Glasgow and Edinburgh. Today my passion is stronger than ever! contact us Christopher Bibby Karin Isaacson head of design Head of Sales [email protected] 503-206-2438 [email protected] 503-381-6870 fax: 971-279-2762 Annika Hinds Terill Ketcham Head of fulfillment Head of graphics [email protected] 208-946-3800 [email protected] www.iambibby.com To place an order please contact karin and she’ll be happy to assist you, or fill in the order form and email, fax or mail it to Karin. studio address: 921 se 47th ave. portland, oregon 97215 Terms.: Net 30 days All of our products are 100% guaranteed.

Citizens placed Measure 60 on the ballot through the initiative process and then overwhelmingly approved it at the 1998 General Election. Over these past 20 years, we have realized the benefits of increased access and ease of access to the ballot, higher voter turnout, and improved election security because of our first in the nation vote-by-mail system. Today, those benefits continue as over 2.7 million Oregonians will receive a ballot in the mail beginning on October 17. I would like to congratulate the voters of Grant County who had the highest voter turnout at the Primary Election this past May.

    YEARS 2014 CALENDAR Crater Lake Natural History Association {Crater Lake} City of Jordan Valley {Jordan Valley} Huffman-Wright {Canyonville} Oregon State Capitol {Salem} Pine Mountain Observatory (University of Oregon) {Pine Mountain} M-F Drive-in Theater {Milton-Freewater} St. Paul Rodeo {St. Paul} SOLVE {Portland} Clatsop County {Astoria} Oregon Coast Aquarium {Newport} L.L. Stub Stewart State Park {Buxton} Portland Farmers Market {Portland} In this issue of our calendar, we celebrate SAIF’s 100-year history of serving Oregon businesses and workers by highlighting some interesting moments in Oregon history. Each month represents a decade between 1900 and 2014 and features an event or a trend that was important during that decade—the Columbus Day Storm, the passage of the Oregon Bottle Bill, and the establishment of Crater Lake National Park, for example. We have selected a policyholder for each month that represents that moment in history. SAIF’s history began with a special election held on November 4, 1913. Oregon voters approved the “Workmen’s Compensation Act,” which went in effect on July 1, 1914, which is why we celebrate our 100th anniversary in 2014. The first attempt to pass a workers’ compensation law had been in 1911, but that bill Huffman-Wright Logging 1952 failed. Governor Oswald West then appointed a commission to draft new legislation. After passing the Legislature, the measure was referred to a vote of the people. The law created the State Industrial Accident Commission (SIAC) and provided funds for the “compensation of injured workmen employed in hazardous occupations.” It also appropriated $50,000 as start-up funds.

This leafy metropolis has become THE place to eat – a culinary hotspot, thanks largely to its location in bountiful northern Oregon. The state’s wet winters and balmy summers nurture a boggling variety of produce, including meat and crops from the rugged plains out east, and ample seafood from the Pacific to the west. What doesn’t grow here, friendly neighbour California generously supplies. It’s no surprise that chefs and producers are heading to Portland to make their mark. It’s like a throwback to the pioneering spirit of the Oregon Trail era, when Americans packed their covered wagons and rolled on out here in search of greener pastures. These days, the wagons have given way to food trucks, now numbering more than 600, and the burgeoning street-food scene is now embraced as part of the city’s culture.

  • The Oregonian Ted Wheeler
    The Oregonian Ted Wheeler: Addressing Portland's livability without 'harassing the homeless' (Guest opinion) By Ted Wheeler December 10, 2017 Portland is a dynamic and prosperous city, and I'm honored to serve as your mayor. People are moving here from all around the nation and the world to participate in what our community has to offer, including diverse employment opportunities, thriving and unique neighborhoods, world-class restaurants and access to nature. I am committed to ensuring that, as Portland grows, the things we love about our city grow along with us. The Seattle Times recently characterized our economy as "transformational," and Forbes called Portland the "Best Place for Business and Careers" in the country. A recent survey from Downtown Clean and Safe found that employment, wages and the number of new businesses are all growing. But this success and its resulting growth have come with some big-city problems, among them rising housing costs, concerns about safety, more litter and graffiti, and increased traffic congestion. More than anything else, I hear about the need to address our homeless crisis with clarity, consistency and compassion. In concert with my colleagues in Portland, Multnomah County and the Joint Office of Homeless Services, we've made record investments - driven by record business license revenues - on a compassionate and comprehensive approach to homelessness. Our approach includes more rent assistance, enhanced shelter options, improved community mental health services, addiction treatment and permanent housing. We are doing more, even as the federal government retreats from its commitment to housing and mental health. The goal is to get people the help they need to get off and stay off the streets.
