HOWALD Of the Keizertimes A trio of local community members spoke to the Keizer City Council about the continued efforts to end domestic violence at its meeting Monday, Oct. 15. District Attorney Walt Beglau, Deputy District Attorney Kim Larson and Jane Downing, executive director of the Center for Hope and Safety (CHS), talked with the council as Mayor Cathy Clark declared it Domestic Violence Awareness Month. “We have teamed up for years that it continues to be a prevailing and tragic crime day in and day out. These range from shoving and pushing to murder. I have an entire team of deputy district attorneys to manage 1,000 cases of violence,” Beglau said. The number of cases merits a “continuous and unrelenting dialogue about domestic violence in our community,” he added. Beglau also complimented the efforts of the Keizer Police Department in regard to combatting domestic violence. Nearly 80 percent of domestic violence cases forwarded to the district attorney’s offi ce result in fi ling of charges against the aggressor. “The chief and his staff are doing an extraordinary job of investigating and giving us cases where we can hold By HERB SWETT Of the Keizertimes The proposal by an Oregon School Activities Association committee to put the 6A high schools in the Salem-Keizer School District in the same league with three high schools in Bend brought a negative recommendation from the Salem-Keizer School Board on Tuesday, Oct. 10. In the general opinion of the board, travel over the Cas- cade Mountains, especially in winter, would hurt athletes academically and be danger- ous in snow and ice. Director Jim Green said that when his daughter went to Redmond for a game last year, she did not return home until 2 a.m. the day of a test. Paul Kyllo, the board chair, cast the one vote against the resolution. He said that there should be a positive solution to the problem of few 6A high schools in central Oregon and that he had not heard of one. OSAA offi cials voted 10-1 Monday, Oct. 16, to place the Bend-area schools into the Greater Valley Conference. In other business, the board approved six grants, includ- ing one of $13,072,524 from the Oregon Department of Education to supplement dis- trict resources to ensure that schools with high percentages of poverty meet state academ- ic standards.

Downing said efforts to expand access to the CHS prove that the problem isn’t going away. “We opened an advocacy offi ce in downtown Salem two years ago. In the fi rst year, we doubled the number of contacts from people needing our services. They doubled again last year,” Downing said. Last year, CHS had more than 22,000 contacts from domestic violence victims between offi ces in Salem and Woodburn. CHS recently opened a new shelter and is now working on a capital campaign to add kennels for domestic violence victims whose pets also need shelter. Larson, who heads a victim assistance team within the District Attorney’s offi ce, said efforts have focused on two areas: training and advocacy. Staff from the victim’s assistance team have trained police on the best investigation techniques and local faith leaders on how to access support services when a bythenumbers • 22,167 contacts to the Center for Hope and Safety • 3,702 nights of shelter provided by CHS • 1,444 reports of domestic violence in Marion County • 882 cases where charges were fi led • 755 requests for protective orders • 5 deaths related to domestic violence in the last year member of their clergy comes forward to seek help. “We’ve also worked hard recently to shore up what we do with victims who desire restraining orders,” Larson said. Victims can now choose to appear in court with an advocate at their side or even appear in court through video conferencing without needing to be in the same room as their abuser. The team has also recently added a juvenile advocate for families with children that are experiencing domestic violence issues.

McNary linemen and linebackers harassed South’s quarterback all evening, intercepting two passes, tipping several more, and sacking the sophomore four times before the Celt starters were pulled in the second half. 20 YEARS AGO McNary remains undefeated The McNary volleyball team kept the rest of the Valley League chasing its perfect record last week with two more wins.
