However when Hapag-Lloyd stopped sending empty containers for farmers to ¿ll up and send back to Portland that stopped. Without Hapag-Lloyd, which shipped 90 percent of those exports to European countries, Lewiston port of¿cials shut down their container port. )armers and the Clearwater Paper Corp. have since had to truck boxes to California and Seattle. “This is not making up for the loss of container-by-barge to Portland by any degree, but hopefully it provides another option for exporters in a very constrained market,” said David Doeringsfeld, director of the Port of Lewiston. DHS moves to revoke two foster care licenses Staff at Scotts Valley School did not respond to a request for comment late Thursday afternoon. DHS of¿cials decided to take action against the programs amid scrutiny of the agency’s handling of problems at another foster care agency, Give Us This Day in Portland. Willamette Week reported on problems at Give Us This Day starting in September, and the newspaper has since reported that top of¿cials at the agency knew about the issues and did nothing. Scotts Valley School had been Àagged for problems more than 30 out the last 36 months, more than any other DHS-licensed facility, according to information provided to lawmakers during a 1ov. 16 hearing. At the time, the agency did not identify the school as the entity that had been on the list for so many months. The criteria to get on the list include “high severity or high quantity of allegations,” a state licensing action such as suspension, political implications, potential media attention and “chronic non-compliance or ‘YoYo’ compliance,” according to information DHS provided to the Legislature last month. 20s flurries 30s 40s snow ice 50s 60s cold front 70s 80s 90s 100s 110s high warm front stationary front low National Summary: Showers along with isolated downpours will occur across eastern Florida today.

The letters are a “due process step” the state must complete before revoking the licenses, and they will lay out corrective actions Scotts Valley School and Youth Villages must complete in order to continue operating, according to DHS. The agency did not release any information Thursday about the type of problems that led of¿cials to start the license revocation process. Connie Mills, manager of public relations for Youth Villages, said in a statement that the organization takes the state’s concerns seriously and is making improvements to the program. “While we disagree with some of DHS’s conclusions, we are extremely concerned about this and are taking these issues very seriously,” Mills wrote. “Our 1o. 1 goal always is to provide the very best care for young people.” Mills wrote that this will include “enhancing supervi- sion of youth by signi¿cantly increasing highly skilled and trained staf¿ng, as well as conducting additional trainings and evaluating other areas in which we can make improvements.” 0 0-2, Low 3-5, Moderate 6-7, High; 8-10, Very High; 11+, Extreme Copyright © 2015, EO Media Group Portland’s container terminal. “We appreciate this kind of ‘out of the box’ thinking from all parties involved, providing a partial solution to shipping challenges while we continue working to recruit critical new transpaci¿c service,” said Port of Port- land Executive Director Bill Wyatt. “We hope the success of this plan will entice labor and terminal management to come together in agree- ment sooner and shippers to resume frequent, regular container service.” The Port of Portland is paying $51,000 to get the port-to-rail system up and running.

The agency is working with the Oregon Department of Justice to draft “intent to revoke” letters to Scotts Valley School, a therapeutic boarding program south of Eugene, and the Youth Villages foster care agency that operates facilities in Lake Oswego and Oregon City. As a result of the review, the state also stopped placing foster children at Youth Villages programs and moved the children who were already there to other placements, DHS spokesman Gene Evans wrote in an email Thursday. Top of¿cials at the agency knew there was trouble at Scotts Valley School, because they had Àagged it on an internal list of problematic service providers known as the “radar list.” Yet the agency had not revoked or even denied the renewal of licenses for any organizations on the list since it was created 36 months ago, according to Hi 55 37 46 57 39 39 57 48 53 46 45 42 41 55 53 59 41 51 52 55 48 57 43 44 53 50 44 Today Hi 42 70 50 55 67 40 48 58 41 79 58 (in mph) — Founded Oct. 16, 1875 — By HILLARY BORRUD Capital Bureau W r pc c c pc pc c c c pc c pc pc c r r pc c c sh c c c c sh c c Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.
