and Benton counties have
ordered at least four other
men to pay $7,500 to $15,000
in restitution for killing elk,
deer and at least one wild
turkey.
But in written rulings on
Samora’s and Plagmann’s
cases, Gilliam County
Circuit Judge John Olson
wrote that the law explicitly
allows the State Fish and
Wildlife Commission to file
a lawsuit for $25,000 per
sheep from the men, but it
doesn’t say that the judge
can order the defendants to
pay.
Olson wrote that the
commission is free to file a
lawsuit if it so chooses.
In Begay’s case, Wasco
County Circuit Judge Janet
Stauffer wrote that the
prosecution hadn’t proven
that Begay’s crime directly
resulted in the loss of $25,000
in
tangible
“economic
damages” to the state.
Mike Arnold, Plagmann’s
defense attorney, described
the arrest and prosecution of
his client “a disappointing
waste of resources.”
“All Cody (Plagmann) and
the co-defendant (Samora)
did was cut off the heads
of two already dead rams,”
Arnold wrote in an email to
The Oregonian/OregonLive.
“There is no economic loss
to the state for a dead ram in
two pieces versus one.”
Although the three men
have so far avoided the huge
penalties, they still will have
misdemeanor convictions on
their records.
Begay is scheduled to be
sentenced in June.
Plagmann and Samora,
who already have been
sentenced, were ordered to
one year of probation, 40
to 80 hours of community
service, a three-year ban from
hunting and fines ranging
from $1,500 to $2,000. Plag-
mann also received a 40-day
jail sentence.

Seattle, Portland
SALEM (AP) — Immi-
grants in a jail serving four
counties in Oregon recently
held a hunger strike over
“horrible” conditions, say
activists who allege officials
are breaking state law by
holding people for federal
immigration authorities.
The U.S. Customs
and Enforcement Agency
pays the Northern Oregon
Regional Corrections
Facility, or NORCOR, to
hold detainees, according
to a NORCOR budget
document.
A 1987 Oregon law
prohibits law enforcement
officers from detaining
people who are in the
U.S. illegally but have not
broken other laws. Gov.
Kate Brown in February
ordered all state agencies to
follow the policy. Her office
declined to comment on
whether NORCOR might
be violating the law.
TACOMA, Wash. (AP)
— Officials with BNSF
Railway say mudslides
have forced the suspension
of train traffic on a
heavily traveled section
of rails between Seattle,
Washington, and Portland,
Oregon.
Gus Melonas,
spokesman for the
Burlington Northern and
Santa Fe Railway, says
early Friday that 10 slides
just north of the Tacoma
Narrows Bridge have halted
rail traffic. The multiple
slides came hours after a
series of thunderstorms
rolled through western
Washington.
He says a 48-hour hold
has been put on Amtrak
trains between Seattle and
Portland, and that hold
is scheduled to last until
11:30 p.m. Saturday. On
its website, Amtrak says
it is seeking alternate

Department of Human Services to get new director
By PETER WONG
Capital Bureau
SALEM — Clyde Saiki
is retiring after two tumul-
tuous years as director of
the Department of Human
Services, the state’s largest
agency.
In an email to staff
Friday, Saiki said he will
be succeeded by Fariborz
Pakseresht, director of the
Oregon Youth Authority
since 2012.
The changeover takes
effect Sept. 1, although
Senate confirmation of
Pakseresht’s appointment
is required. Saiki will stay
on in a limited role during
the transition.
Saiki, 60, had previ-
ously worked at DHS for
23 years, rising to become
its chief administrative
officer and deputy director
of operations before he
took a similar position at
the Department of Trans-
portation in 2010.
He was Gov. Kate
Brown’s choice in 2015
for director of the Depart-
ment of Administrative
Services — the budget and
management agency for
state government — after
Michael Jordan resigned.
Brown then sent Saiki implementing the 2017-19

“Before

welfare problems.
In addition to child
welfare, the agency over-
sees services for older
people and people with
disabilities, and programs
to make people more
self-sufficient. Its current
two-year, $10.2 billion
budget — $2.7 billion of
it from the tax-supported
general fund — is second
only to that of the state
health agency.
But
the
agency’s
budget
faces
paring
with a projected revenue
shortfall of $1.6 billion in
the 2017-19 budget cycle
— and there is uncertainty
about how much federal aid
it will receive.
“I know Fariborz very
well, and I believe he is
a great choice to lead the
important work you all do
every day,” Saiki said. “He
has history working at DHS
and understands the impor-
tance of our programs in so
many Oregonians’ lives.”
