HOWALD Of the Keizertimes Mayor Cathy Clark signed a proclamation declaring is Child Abuse Preven- tion month in Keizer at a meeting of the Keizer City Council Monday, April 2. The proclamation was submitted to the city by Shaney Starr, executive di- rector of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), which moved to a new location on River Road North in Keizer last year. “(There is) an unfortu- nate number of child abuse incidents and victims that continue to increase in our community and our county and also statewide,” Starr said. In 2016, there were 11,843 confi rmed cases of child abuse and neglect statewide, an increase of more than 1,400 from 2015. Confi rmed cases in Marion County rose by more than 400 in the same time period. “The stark reality is that we all need to do more and need to do more on the abuse prevention side,” Starr said. CASA recruits and trains volunteers to act as advocates sudoku Enter digits from 1-9 into the blank spaces. Every row must contain one of each digit.
