twistedlibrarian writes “Wanting to avoid the controversy that has ensnared the city of Roseburg over a proposed statue of the Greek goddess Hebe, Douglas County commissioners have nixed an exhibit at the Douglas County Museum.
Late last month, Commissioner Marilyn Kittelman sent a letter to Stacey McLaughlin, the museum’s director, telling her to stop preparations for an exhibit on Hebe that had been set for March through May.
“We appreciate all of your hard work,” Kittelman wrote in the Jan. 20 letter. “Unfortunately, this issue is very divisive in our county. The Board (of Commissioners) would like to be constantly striving to unify, and not to divide the county.”
