Oregon CSD in reformation process
SALEM CAP) - The stale
Children'* Service* Division
was given a new name and
new direction by the l‘W3 tjog
Ulature Now it could get a
new. slimmer look if Ihis year s legislature
gots along with a proposal by Gov John
Kitrhaber
The CM), always (hnisl between children
and parents in troubled households, is far
from the state's most popular agency It han
dles 2S,fHH) reports of suspected (.hiId abuse
each year.
"People fat ed with losing children find
their ( hallenge at first w ith the agency rather
than with themselves." said Jim Dyer of
Salem, who estimates he has cared for 250
foster children placed by the division in the
past JO years
The 190.1 legislature passed a package of
bills aimed at changing the way the CSD oper
ates
The reform largely was the work of then
House Speaker I .am Campbell, who felt CSH
should move from a police style approach to
more of a service oriented style, making
pn-serviition of f • top goal.
Campbell also thought there should lie mure
emphasis on early prevention of Juvenile
problems and that some programs should
move closer to the local government level
The name change happen* on July 1. when
the CSD officially bt« times the State Offic <•
for Services to ( luldren and Families
A key bill passed in 1993 also »rested a
stute Commission on Children and Families
as the (op policy-making authority (or chil
dren's programs
New grassroots commissions also were
established. with the idea of getting business
and civic leaders and others involved in tai
loring programs to local needs Hie state com
mission is to evaluate the proposals and dts
pcnse state money to operate them
Kitzhabar't proposed 100.V97 budget shifts
$18 5 million to the commission to allocate
to loial programs
But the biggest change yet to come, if
Kitrhnlmr s plan is approved, would remove
juvenile correction* programs from the chil
dren* services agency altogether
The governor wants to create a new Depart
ment of Youth Authority, by mid Hem. to take
over operation* of juvenile detention school*,
parole and other program* for offenders
juvenile crime is soaring, and kit/liaber
proposes to arid 300 juvenile com* turns Icsls
now and build four regional juvenile corns
tions centers by t(MW
Paul Drew*, deputy administrator of the
Children's Service* Division, said removing
juvenile i urre. turns from ins agem y , ..i!.j
make it easier to focus on remaining child
welfare issue*
“It's hard to advocate for two populations."
he said
Those involved in children's programs say
the reform plan is just getting past its infan
cy and that it's too soon to gauge suu ess or
failure
"The implementation process hasn't real
ly hit its full stride." say s Dyer, who is pres
ident of the Marion -Polk Foster Parent Auo'
dation.
Campbell said he's pleased preventive
program* such as Healthy Start, aimed at
providing youngsters good nutrition, are
• spending
"if we re ever going to solve the problem
of juvenile delinquent kids going to school
without heing prepared to leant, we have got
to have a strong up-front program." the for
mer House speaker said
The Eugene Republican also said there's
not enough in the governor's proposed bud
get "to make what I consider a necessary and
giant leap in dealing w ith the problems of
children Hut that's easy for me to say
because I didn't have to devil with the entire
budget. He did."
Counties, meanwhile, are leery nltoul tak
ing over too many of the state agency's
duties
"The local people have done a good job
of focusing on prevention." Drews said. Hut
he said many are cautious about taking on
more.
Drews said there’s no control over much
of the workload
"Courts can commit anyone to CSD," the
deputy administrator said. "We have con
tinually faced the problem of open-ended
intake and fixed-endod budgets."
Dver sud that as a foster |viren!, the changes
so far have had little direc t effect on hint.
He said he has concerns, including that
counties not be allowed to operate piecemeal
programs with inadequate state direc tion

women in Washington County
That trial is tentatively set for
mid-May After that, Florida

is a susjM* t in more than one oth
er killing m Oregon.
In his closing statement. Her
mann told the jury no death

a lot of monstrous things. That
was what decided it."
Hermann said that even the
defense exports agreed that
Barone would kill again and
again if given the opportunity.
Hermann des< ribed the killing
ns a "brutal, senseless murder —
killing for pleasure."
Slides, erosion on coast normal;
El Nino pattern threat to Oregon
PORTLAND (API Slides and erosion
on the Oregon Coast this year art* due to
normal storm at tivity, hut tt still is too ear
ly to rule out major problems from HI Nino,
according to weather e\|>erts
The warm ocean current strikes in
cycles, disrupting normal weather pattern*
In the winter of Ifltt2-R3. HI Nino caused
hurricanes in Tahiti, floods in the Mid

set of circumstances heavy storms and
high water levels
At Waldport. the storms defier ted the
sandy entrance to Alsea Bay. shifting it
northward The mouth of the bay ate into
the Alsaa spit, threatening several adjacent
homes, Komar said
"We're not swing anything like that right
now." Komar said "We've been having big
storms, but the beaches are all cut back."
"I sHist' lhat the potential is Outre for
erosion if we got storms in February and
Mari h, Komar said ‘The I leaches don't
have much buffer capacity."
The stonns this winter have not had the
intensity and duration of those during
J0H2-H3. said (ieorge H Taylor, State i h
matologist
"The surf lias teem big along the i oast,
and there have been persistent southerly
winds." he said.
Over the past winter, erosion swallowed
