Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September
15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of
American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and
Central and South America.
The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President
Lyndon B. Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to
cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was
enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402.
The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of
independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala,
Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their
independence days on September 16 and September 18, respectively. Also,
Columbus Day or Dia de la Raza, which is October 12, falls within this 30 day
period. (Courtesy of the U.S. Library of Congress)
Governor John Kitzhaber will sign the Hispanic Heritage Month Proclamation on
Wednesday, September 17 at 1:30pm at the Governor’s Ceremonial Office in Salem,
OR. The Public is welcome to join the signing ceremony.

Governor Kitzhaber Issues Executive Order on Commission to Study Oregon’s
Contributions to National Statuary Hall in D.C.
(Salem, OR) — Governor Kitzhaber today announced an Executive Order creating a commission to review
Oregon’s contributions to the National Statuary Hall Collection in the United States Capitol. The National
Statuary Hall, one of the most popular destinations at the U.S. Capitol, features up to two statues of
prominent citizens representing each state in the country.
The new ten-member commission will consider whether or not Oregon should replace one of the two
statues representing the state. Other notable Oregonians will be discussed as possible replacements. If
commission members recommend replacing one of the statues, they will also discuss and recommend a
public location where the returned statue is displayed.
“There has been significant legislative interest in recent years about who would best represent the Oregon
spirit in our nation’s capital,” Governor Kitzhaber said. “This is a forum for Oregonians to have a
conversation about which historic and modern pioneers to showcase to Washington, D.C., visitors. It also
presents an opportunity to bring a statue of an honored Oregonian back home.” Read more

4. 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.
5. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Renewal Process
On August 15, 2012, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) began accepting requests for deferred action for childhood
arrivals (DACA) from certain young people who came to the United States as children and
met several guidelines. Individuals that receive deferred action under this process are
considered to be lawfully present in the United States during the period that their deferred
action is in effect (normally two years unless terminated) and may be eligible for work
authorization. Deferred action is a discretionary determination to defer removal action of an
individual.
Beginning in September 2014, the initial two-year period of deferred action approved for
early recipients of DACA from USCIS is set to expire under their own terms. USCIS is actively
preparing for the DACA renewal process so that individuals who continue to merit this act of
prosecutorial discretion can request and receive a renewal of their deferred action without
experiencing any lapse in their lawful presence or work authorization.
