Jeff Manley, MSW.
Jeff Manley, M S.W has been
hired as director of G illiam .
Wheeler and Morrow County Mental
Health Program
He replaces Joe
DeVito who resigned last summer
Manley, 44. is moat recently from
North Bend where he directed the
.Southwestern Community Action
those are the only types of cases he
needs to handle In his own case, he*
says that since he has a lot of
experience with corrections and
because e\ erbody has types of work
they prefer to do he will probably
handle more of the clients in trouble
with the taw stemming from an
abuse or alcohol problem, an area
which he feels has been previously
ignored
He experts to m ove slowly
because he anticipates that the state
may not be receptive but hopes to
get approval for a drug program
here
Both North Bend and
Multnomah County use their drug
programs heavily, but since we all
pay to support the tax provided
service he considers it possible to
have three or four slots transferred
to this area We need to recognize
the drug problem here, although it
doesn't involve as many people here
any time there is a drug related
arrrst there is a potential drug
problem
Manley also expects that the
emphasis in the juvenile program
will change
We have been doing a
good job. ' he says of the tri county
program, but continues that with
three new members of the four
person staff, the program's empha
sis can tie expected to change Many
adolescent crimes need to be looked
at

Block Home program re-cognized
The Crime Prevention Association
of Oregon and Governor Victor
Atiyeh have proclaimed the month
III October 1985 as the stat ewide
Block Home Recognition month
Block Homes in Oregon have been
an integral part of the network
which provides safety and security
for children while they are outside of
the home There are now over 20,000
homes throughout the State display
ing the official yellow and red
smiling Block Home sign in the
window
The Oregon Block Home Pro
grams goal for 1965 86 is to have at
least one block home on every block
The Block Home program in
Heppner is in the formative stages,
however. Mayor Cara Costa has
issued the following proclamation
recognizing its goals and the efforts
of those involved
"The Block Homes of Oregon are
an integral part of the network
which provides safety and security
for our children while they are
outside our home
Block Home

cemed adults who live within the
attendance area of their respective
schools, and who have volunteered

assistance of children in need
“ Block Home goals are to provide
a safe refuge for a child who Is
frightened, lost, injured, victimized
or in an emergency situation, to
report child directed criminal activ

phone calls are often caught but
authorities tend to ignore the situ
ation as a serious one The com
mumty. he says, has a right to
expect that if someone is involved in
a crime which indicates a mental
disorder that they will be evaluated
Hr inlrruis to develop a relationship
with the Countv Court and Juvenile
Service so that mental evaluation
can be offered as a service Certain
mental disorder left untreated
become chronic, he says, so it's
important to start early
The Mental Health Service has
been a good community program so
far. but he considers more emphasis
on the criminally disturbed import
ant The state, he says, contends
that we can't afford preventive
mental health, but Manley insists we
can't afford not to provide it
In providing community services,
Manley says that it is important to
continue to help people deal with life
changes such as moving to a nursing
home or losing a spouse Because
the service cov ers a large area with
few people, he sees little opportunity
for growth in this program
He
intends to emphasize quality and to
try to stay out of the "numbers
