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.

people accountable,” Beglau
said.
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

“We’ve also worked hard
recently to shore up what we

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.

Theft from medical
marijuana grow
near McNary High
raises questions
Police received a call on the
evening of Sept. 15 from some
teens near McNary High School.
They said they had gotten into
a verbal confrontation before
the neighbor chased them off
with pepper spray. They said
they could smell marijuana
coming from the property.
Police questioned the men at
the house and found out people
in the house grow marijuana
for several patients who carry
Oregon Medical Marijuana
program cards.

McNary routs
South Salem 47-0
South Salem’s recent dominance
over McNary is over, thanks to
a 47-0 trouncing Oct. 10. “I
thought it was going to a battle.
I was surprised,” Celt lineman
Ryan Belcher said. 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. The victories pushed the
Celtics to 12-0 in league play.
The Celts played a tough match
Thursday against the McKay
Royal Scots in Salem. The Celts
began having trouble in the fi rst
game with serve receiving and
passing diffi culties.
