TROUT DENNIS RICHARDSON DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 255 CAPITOL ST NE, SUITE 501 LESLIE CUMMINGS, PhD SALEM, OREGON 97310 DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE (503) 986-1518 Dear Oregon Voter, This November 6, 2018 General Election marks 20 years since Oregon’s voters chose to conduct all elections through the mail. 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. -

Courtesy of Paulus Norma TARA WATSON AND MELODY ROSE She Flies With Her Own Wings Women in the 1973 Oregon Legislative Session DURING THE 1973 OREGON legislative session, a bipartisan group of female legislators — almost half in their first session — worked with political activists and allies in the state capitol to pass eleven explicitly feminist bills into law. That such a small number of relatively inexperienced legislators was able to pass such a substantial portion of a feminist legislative agenda Tom McCall signs equal rights legislation. Witnesses are (left to right): Senate in just one session is unprecedented in the history of the Oregon legislature President Jason Boe, Speaker of the House Richard Eyman, Secretary of State Clay Myers, Representative Nancie Fadeley (Chair of the House Environment and and is due some historical analysis.

2014 CN Calendar
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. -

iambibby catalog 2019 artwork by Christopher bibby Hello and welcome to our 2019 catalog! We design affordable, locally made, high quality greeting cards, postcards, notepads, magnets and more. All of our products feature the art and imagery of Oregon artist Christopher Bibby. Chris’s art acts as a powerful reminder of the beauty of nature. Our goal at iambibby is to help people connect to and share this beauty with each other through our functional, unique products. We also offer journals, calendars, stickers and coasters made by responsible partners in California and china. Christopher’s story My career as an artist began in Glasgow, Scotland in 1997. 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. -
