November is a great month for holidays big Forget-Me-Not Day
and small. There are plenty of National holidays
and International holidays to celebrate. As the
month progresses, each November holiday and
the special day seems to be a bigger and more
important one than the day before.
On the threshold of the huge Christmas
holiday season, we get a chance to slow down
and give thanks for all that we have. Some
people enjoy Thanksgiving more than any other
holiday. Why? Simply because Thanksgiving is
all about the “Four Fs”: food, family, football,
and fun. There’s little stress until Black Friday
when Christmas shopping begins with a frenzy
online and in brick-and-mortar stores.

DOUGLAS COUNTY, OR
Back in November 2020, Oregon
voters passed the ballot Measure 110.
The overlying sentiment of the
drafters are that 1. Drug addiction and
overdoses are a serious problem in
Oregon. 2. Oregon needs to expand
access to drug treatment. 3. A health-
based approach to addiction and overdose
is more effective, humane and cost-
effective than criminal punishments. 4.
Making people criminals because they
suffer from addiction is expensive, ruins
lives and can make access to treatment
and recovery more difficult.
But in the 3 years since the measure
has passed there has been calls to
repeal that decision. M110 has not had
the effects that were intended and the
unintended effects are mounting, with
spiraling drug overdoses, rampant
drug related crimes and scores of lives
destroyed.
Douglas County officials are not
only asking for the repeal of Measure 110
but also a return to the enforcement of
Federal Drug Laws.
On Wednesday October 4, 2023
during their weekly business meeting,
Douglas County officials signed and sent
a letter to Governor Tina Kotek asking
for the measure to be repealed. The letter
was approved by the Commissioners at
the Wednesday, October 4, 2023, Weekly
Business Meeting, signed by all parties
and sent to Governor Kotek, Members of
the Legislative Assembly, US Attorney
Wight, and Former US Attorney Billy
Williams.
