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.

    National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options

    National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options Updated December 3, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42812 National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options Summary The National Statuary Hall Collection, located in the U.S. Capitol, comprises 100 statues provided by individual states to honor persons notable for their historic renown or for distinguished services. The collection was authorized in 1864, at the same time that Congress redesignated the hall where the House of Representatives formerly met as National Statuary Hall. The first statue, depicting Nathanael Greene, was provided in 1870 by Rhode Island. The collection has consisted of 100 statues—two statues per state—since 2005, when New Mexico sent a statue of Po’pay. At various times, aesthetic and structural concerns necessitated the relocation of some statues throughout the Capitol. Today, some of the 100 individual statues in the National Statuary Hall Collection are located in the House and Senate wings of the Capitol, the Rotunda, the Crypt, and the Capitol Visitor Center. Legislation to increase the size of the National Statuary Hall Collection was introduced in several Congresses. These measures would permit states to furnish more than two statues or allow the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories to provide statues to the collection. None of these proposals were enacted. Should Congress choose to expand the number of statues in the National Statuary Hall Collection, the Joint Committee on the Library and the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) may need to address statue location to address aesthetic, structural, and safety concerns in National Statuary Hall, the Capitol Visitor Center, and other areas of the Capitol.

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.

    Greeting Cards, Postcards, Notepads, Magnets and More

    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.

    Statuary Hall Immortalizes Our History Craving Fame

    ssttaarr--nneewwss 4a The Goodland Star-News / Friday, March 30, 2007 opinion from our viewpoint... Competition answer to school overhaul How to solve the school mess? Mayor Rudy Giuliani has convinced us where Speaker Newt Gingrich never could: The solution lies in competition. That means a complete overhaul of our school system, but then why not? It’s a mess today. Everyone agrees on that. Let’s be fair. American schools, whatever their faults, remain among the best in the world. Government interference, first by states and then by the federal government, shackled them with an increasing burden. When it appeared they were dragging, the solution always has been more money and more rules. Neither works. Neither produced the kind of drive for excellence we perceived our schools as having a century ago. Part of the problem is expectations. For much of that 100 years, we’ve pushed every year to get more and more kids into schools. Out here in rural America, most kids succeed. Most graduate, al- most all of those go on to some kind of post-secondary education. In our cities, though half, even 75 percent of minority students still drop out. Without education, they face a bleak future of un- employment, poverty, crime, drugs and despair. The No Child Left Behind Act, supposedly President Bush’s crowning achievement, set even more regulations and spends even more money, but it won’t work. All men may be created equal, but not all of us have equal capacity for learning, at least school learning. But No Child may be the saving grace for our schools.
