Page 10 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2009 I.V. foursome gains honors for soccer (Continued from page 1) member of the soccer team, Kendall did double duty as a place-kicker and punter on the football team. “Ben became one of our team leaders this year,” Enoch pointed out. “It’s something we ex- pect of our seniors, and he plays a position on the field that requires communication with the rest of the players. He did a great job for us in that role.” Sanchez, although only a freshman, led the team in scoring with six goals on the season. “It’s rare that a freshman leads a varsity team in scor- ing, but Jovany has a knack for putting balls into the back of the net,” observed Enoch. Sanchez was the only fresh- man from any of the five Skyline teams to achieve all- conference honors. For the second consecu- tive year, junior defender Anthony Realmuto was rec- ognized for his play on the field. “Anthony is our other team captain and sort of be- came our inspirational leader,” Enoch said. “He works hard every day and encourages his team to do the same. Every coach needs someone like Anthony on the roster.” This was the last season that IVHS will play in the Skyline Conference. Due to declining enrollment, Illinois Valley High School will drop out of the 4-A rank and join the 3-A Sunset Conference. “I look forward to the change,” noted Enoch. “It will give us a chance to be much more competitive. For the first time in many years, we’ll be competing against schools that are similar in size to ours. It should be a good thing in the long run.” (HaeRang Kim is a journalism student at Illi- nois Valley High School.) ( Illinois Valley News file photo) Josephine County officials planning for early release of some inmates (Continued from page 1) were released. In a commu- nity like Josephine County, with somewhat limited re- sources, that put an immedi- ate strain on things.” Welcome Home Ore- gon’s duties include conduct- ing a reach-in call for every state prison inmate that re- turns to Josephine County and developing release plans intended to meet their most basic needs. Caskey said that the sudden increase in re- leases complicated the pro- gram’s ability to keep up with its core functions. “We were not able to conduct reach-in calls,” she said. “In terms of a successful release plan, which includes housing, food, clothing and the barest necessities in some cases, we were faced with being in reactionary mode.” Caskey wasn’t alone in feeling overwhelmed by the increased workload. She said that release councilors at the state Dept. of Corrections were “totally trying to play catch-up” due to the changes in policy. Huntley said HB 3508 “really put pressure on our about doubling.” “In a typical month, we would have five to six re- leases from prison,” Huntley said. “We’re now seeing 10 to 12.” Those early releases have kept Karen Caskey plenty busy. She is the founder and president of Welcome Home Oregon, a religious nonprofit prison transition program that helps remove barriers from re-entry into the community. It is funded through private donations and grants. Between 150 and 170 persons typically are released into Josephine County every year, Caskey said. The pas- sage of HB 3508 won’t alter that figure, she said, but meant that Welcome Home Oregon was saddled with two months’ worth of early re- leases. “By the time everything made it through the process, some people had already passed their earned time re- lease dates,” Caskey said. “As soon as the paperwork was filled out, those people Accounting release officers.” But it also enabled the county to receive its portion of the savings real- ized from the suspension of Measure 57’s implementa- tion. That figure amounts to $250,000, he said, which will be spent on treatment pro- grams for drug-addicted prop- erty offenders. Such an approach en- ables community corrections to focus on reducing recidi- vism, something Huntley said he strongly supports. “Housing people in Building Trades prison doesn’t change their behavior, it takes them out of circulation,” he said. “Community Corrections is different in that we provide programs, structure and su- pervision to change behavior long-term, so we don’t let them out and send them back to the same environment to continue the same operation.” Caskey said that despite the early rush, the situation has calmed down and is back to normal after a series of short-term adjustments. “It did make us scramble a little bit, but for the most part, we’ve gotten through that period of time,” Caskey said. “We had a few people who fell through the cracks, but we’ve been able to find them and reach them, and made sure that they ended up with a positive set of goals when they reached the com- munity. “It was crazy, but it was totally something we were able to handle in a good man- ner,” she stated.
