  • Online Voters' Guide
    online voters' guide STATE OF OREGON SPECIAL ELECTION February 3, 2004 Compiled and Distributed by Bill Bradbury On the cover: When the current Oregon State Capitol was built in 1938, it was deemed fitting that two separate trails vital to the opening of the Oregon Territory be made monumental. A stele of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, led by Sacagawea, flanks the east side of the Capitol steps (the pioneers of the Oregon Trail mark the west). The Leo Friedlander sculpture is carved from white Danby, Vermont marble. Photo courtesy of Oregon State Archives, Oregon Board of Control records, photo #OBC0007. STATE OF OREGON BILL BRADBURY SECRETARY OF STATE SECRETARY OF STATE 136 STATE CAPITOL PADDY J. MCGUIRE SALEM, OREGON 97310-0722 DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE (503) 986-1523 Dear Oregonian, You may notice some changes in the Voters' Pamphlet. These changes reduce the amount of blank space, allowing us to use less paper and save money on printing and production. All of the information that you need to use your Voters' Pamphlet and to cast an informed vote is still included; it is just in a different format. In commemoration of the bicentennial anniversary of the Corps of Discovery, the 2004 Voters' Pamphlets feature pictures, maps and documents relating to that historic expedition. Dispatched in 1804 by President Thomas Jefferson, U.S. Army Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led an expedition from St. Louis, up the Missouri River, over the Rockies and down the Columbia River to Fort Clatsop, near Astoria. There the Corps spent the winter of 1805-06 before making the return voyage.

  • 75 Best State Genealogy Websites in 2013
    75 Best State Genealogy Websites in 2013 11/26/2013 - By Rick Crume December 2013 Family Tree Magazine Find your ancestors across the country with these 75 superb state-focused genealogy websites. State historical societies and archives are taking the lead in preserving and providing access to records kept on the state and county levels. Instead of traveling around the country, borrowing microfilms or ordering photocopies of birth, marriage and death records, newspapers, county records and more, you now can access a lot of these materials online—many for free. In selecting this year’s list of 75 best websites for researching records of your ancestor’s state, we again looked for sites where you can search for your ancestors’ names. In some cases, you can search online indexes and then order copies of the original records for a fee. Sites increasingly are providing searchers with digital images of original records for free. We commend these state organizations—and a few very ambitious individuals—for making valuable genealogical information easily accessible online. ALABAMA Alabama Department of Archives and History Click on Search Our Collections to search for a name in Civil War service cards, 1867 voter registrations and WWI soldiers. Online catalogs cover microfilmed newspapers you can borrow through interlibrary loan, as well as local and county records, church records and maps available at the archives. ALASKA Alaska State Archives Resources for genealogists include indexes to naturalization records (1888-1972) and probate records (1883-1956), plus guidelines for requesting information from the archives.

  • Running Head: COMMUNITY COLLEGE FUNDING TRENDS
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Debra S.E. Klimes for the degree of Doctor of Education in Education presented on April 29, 2008. Title: Legislators‘ Perceptions about Community Colleges' Use of Alternative Funding Sources to Solve Budget Shortfalls Abstract approved:____ ________ George H. Copa The purpose of this study was to discern the nature of legislators‘ perceptions about community colleges‘ abilities to generate revenues through alternative funding sources and the resultant effects on state allocations to these colleges. Selected community college-related staff members and legislative staff members in Idaho and Oregon were asked to independently name three to five Idaho and Oregon legislators whom they perceived as having the most influence on community college funding. Out of the sixteen legislators who were nominated, eight were selected to participate in the study. The research identified: (a) important factors that influence legislative decision making which community colleges may affect, and (b) expectations of legislators about community colleges‘ abilities to acquire alternative funding and the purposes for seeking alternative funds. The following were specific findings of the study: Alternative Funding is a Given The pressure to find alternative funding for community colleges is likely to continue. Seeking alternative funding will be expected in the future by legislators even in good financial times; community college administrators should plan to invest in this process for the long run. Collegial Relationships Among Legislators A significant implication for practice from this research was the impact various individual relationships had on legislators. Legislators in the study described how trusting relationships with key people were integral to the input they obtained and considered in making funding decisions.

  • Land Use Planning Information for the Citizens of Oregon
    LAND USE PLANNING INFORMATION FOR THE CITIZENS OF OREGON Governor Tom McCall signed Oregon’s Statewide Land Use Planning System into law in 1973. Photo courtesy of the Oregon State Archives. Written by John D. Gray, Developer of Salishan and Skamania Lodges, Sunriver, and John’s Landing. Retired Chairman of Omark Industries, Inc. and A Lifelong Oregonian. Katie Shriver, Research Assistant. November 2, 2006 Produced With Support From The Oregon Community O CF Foundation The Oregon Community Foundation’s mission is to improve life in Oregon and promote effective philanthropy. OCF supports research and publications that promote constructive dialogue with the goal of finding common ground on issues that affect our communities. OCF’s support of these projects is not an endorsement of positions taken in the publications. Introduction Oregon’s statewide land use planning system, one of the country’s first, passed in 1973. In the more than thirty years since Oregonians created the land use planning system, the state has changed economically, demographically, and politically, raising questions about whether the system is relevant and how it can mature to address new challenges.1 The November 2004 passage of Ballot Measure 37, which created a new statute requiring state and local governments to either waive land use regulations or compensate landowners when a regulation reduces a property’s fair market value, crystallized many of the challenges confronting the system.2 Katie Shriver and I have worked together for about eight months to gather information relative to land use planning from many sources. Our goal has been to make it useful, accurate, and non- biased so that people who were not here in 1975 can gain a sound background on this large issue and also refresh the memories of those who were here back then.
