hundreds of containers of
pulse crops such as chick-
peas, lima beans, lentils, and
other legumes. 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.

Port of Portland subsidizes
Lewiston container service
DHS testimony at a legislative
hearing last month.
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.”

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. Of¿cials expect it to
pay for itself by January.

SALEM — Two programs
that care for foster children
and troubled teens could lose
their state licenses following
a recent review, the Oregon
Department
of
Human
Services announced Thursday.
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

carrying containers of agri-
cultural and paper products
to the Port of Morrow in

containers will be put on a

Portland the boxes will be
