Governor Kitzhaber’s Statement on the Passing of Hal Salwasser
(Salem, OR) — Governor Kitzhaber today released the following statement on the passing of Hal
Salwasser:
"Hal was a leader in Oregon during one of the most dynamic periods of change in how forests in our state
are managed. He brought an unshakable commitment to stewardship and science to his career at Oregon
State University's College of Forestry and beyond. He was also a dedicated public servant, volunteering his
expertise, passion, and time to numerous efforts that supported forest health, sustainability, and his

Oregon Employers to Get Unemployment Insurance Tax Cut in 2015
(Salem, OR) — In another indication of economic recovery in Oregon, Unemployment Insurance tax rates
for most employers will decrease in 2015. More Oregonians are returning to work and not drawing
benefits from the state’s Unemployment Insurance (UI) Trust Fund. Demand for the state's benefits is
lower allowing Oregon’s UI Trust Fund to recover from the large amount of benefits paid during the recent
economic downturn.
"It's a boon for our state that more Oregonians are finding jobs and earning wages that provide for their
families," Governor Kitzhaber said. "Oregon employers will pay less for unemployment insurance, a trend
that illustrates our state's continued path to a stronger statewide economy."
Oregon is one the few states whose UI Trust Fund did not go bankrupt during the recent economic
downturn. While employers in many states now face tax surcharges or decreased credits against their
federal unemployment taxes, most Oregon employers will see lower unemployment insurance tax rates.
Falling from Tax Schedule 6 to 5, employers in Oregon will now be charged an average of 2.53 percent on
the first $35,700 paid to each employee. In 2014 employers paid 2.76 percent. With every step down in
schedules, Oregon employers are saving money that can then be reinvested in their businesses
and Oregon’s UI Trust Fund continues to recover from the large amount of benefits paid during the Great
Recession.

4. ODE Seeks Nominations for US Presidential Scholars Program
The Oregon Department of Education is currently seeking nominations for
the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program. The U.S. Presidential Scholars
Program was established by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and since
that time has honored more than 6,500 outstanding high school seniors. The
mission of the program is to recognize and honor superior high school seniors and thereby to
encourage high attainment among all students. Under the Executive Order establishing the
Presidential Scholars Program, students are selected on the basis of outstanding scholarship.
Traditionally, students have been invited to apply for this honor based solely upon SAT or ACT
scores or through demonstrated ability and accomplishment in the visual and performing arts
or creative writing. However, the U.S. Department of Education recognizes that some
outstanding students will not be captured through this process. Since 2012, the Oregon
Department of Education has been invited to submit the names of several outstanding high
school seniors for consideration for this honor who, while demonstrating outstanding
scholarship, might not otherwise be nominated through the current SAT/ACT or arts
recognition processes. This year, we may submit the names of up to ten students, five male and
five female, to be invited to apply for the program.
All high school seniors graduating between January and June of 2015 who are U.S. citizens or
legal permanent residents, who attend public, parochial, or independent schools, as well as
those who are home-schooled, are eligible. The 2015 U.S. Presidential Scholars will be selected
by the Commission on Presidential Scholars and will receive the Presidential Scholars
Medallion.
If you know of an outstanding senior in your school or district who meets these
criteria, we encourage you to submit his or her name to the Oregon Department of
Education no later than November 7, 2014. Please submit your nominations to Jenni
Deaton at [email protected].
Please provide the following information on each senior: name, gender, home mailing address,
high school name and mailing address, high school CEEB code
Please also submit a few sentences about the student describing:
What about the student makes him or her stand out as having outstanding scholarship?
What special challenges or hurdles has this student overcome while still achieving high academic success?
In addition, it may be useful for you to know that the reviewers will be considering the following
categories when evaluating the nominees at the semifinalist and Scholar evaluation levels:
Involvement and Service (in school and community)
Leadership and Character
Writing samples
Academic achievements
· Discretionary points for extraordinary achievement, heavy workload, family responsibilities,
or obstacles overcome.

Presidential Scholars please visit our Web site at: www.ed.gov/psp.
5. City of Portland: Independent Police Review Announces Recruitment for New
Citizen Review Committee Members
Constantin Severe, Director of the Independent Police Review (IPR) announces the opening of recruitment for volunteers to serve three-year terms on the Citizen Review Committee (CRC) – an advisory body to IPR and the Portland Police Bureau (PPB). There are five volunteer positions commencing in February 2015. “Serving on the CRC is an opportunity for members of the public to actively engage in police oversight. We are looking for community members who are passionate about Portland, open minded, and willing to learn,” said Severe.

the Police Bureau. CRC members hear community and Police Bureau member appeals of police
misconduct investigations, listen to public concerns regarding police conduct, engage in
training and other activities to learn about policing, review Police Bureau policies and
procedure, and advise IPR.
Due to recent city code changes, the CRC is now comprised of 11 members and CRC members
serve on a rotating basis on the Police Review Board (PRB) in use of force cases. The PRB is an
advisory board to the Police Bureau that makes recommendations as to findings and possible
discipline to the Chief of Police.
During this CRC recruitment, IPR is engaging in extensive outreach efforts to attract a diverse
pool of applicants. “It is important that CRC members come from all walks of life and
backgrounds,” Severe said.
Applications are available at the IPR office in City Hall as well as on IPR’s website at
www.portlandoregon.gov/auditor/ipr. Candidates must be Portland, Oregon residents or
business owners. Applications must be received at the IPR office in City Hall by 5:00 PM on

13. Department of State Lands: Oregon Unclaimed Property
The Unclaimed Property Section manages programs relating to unclaimed property, mostly lost
financial assets. Staff members audit businesses and organizations for compliance with state
unclaimed property laws, and process claims for rightful owners. The goal of the section is to
reunite as many people as possible with their money or possessions.
Property becomes unclaimed if the owner can´t be contacted by the holder of the asset within a
specified period of time. Examples of unclaimed property include savings or checking accounts,
uncashed payroll or dividend checks, and safe deposit box contents.
Unclaimed money is held in trust in the Common School Fund forever for claim. The fund's
interest earnings benefit K-12 public schools through biannual distributions to Oregon's 197
school districts.
Every November, the Unclaimed Property Section receives and processes property for
thousands of individuals and businesses whose unclaimed property has been delivered to the
Department of State Lands. The value of this property exceeds $40 million annually.
INFO: http://www.oregon.gov/dsl/UP/Pages/about_us.aspx
If you moved to Oregon from another state and think you may have left unclaimed property
there, visit the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators (NAUPA) website,
which has links to other states' unclaimed property program websites.
Also, you may want to check the Oregon Department of Revenue website to see if they are
holding an unclaimed refund check in your name.

17. Service Dog Etiquitte
Service Dog Manners:
When you meet a person with a service dog, please remember that the dog
is always working. Don't do anything to interrupt the service dog while it is performing its tasks,
even if it seems that it’s not working.
Some Rules for Interacting with People with Service Dogs:
Speak to the person first. A service dog is not a “pet.” Do not aim distracting or rude noises
at the dog EVER. Unless the handler does not wish you to do so, formal greetings of “Good
morning/evening,” to the service dog are acceptable.
1. Do not touch or pet the service dog.
Do not offer food to the service dog! The food could be potentially fatal.
Do not ask personal questions about the work of the service dog or the handler's disability, or otherwise intrude on his or her privacy. This is personal and private information.
Don't be offended if the handler does not wish to chat about the service dog or his or
her disability.
What if you are allergic to or are afraid of dogs?
Place yourself away from the service dog. If you are a business person, discreetly arrange for
someone else to wait on the person. You may ask the person to have the service dog lie down if
it does not interfere with its work.
General public:
While on the Public Services Building (255 Capitol Street NE, Salem, OR) premises, please
follow the Service Dog Etiquette.
ORS 167.352 states that interfering with an assistance, search and rescue, or a therapy
animal is a Class A misdemeanor.
