SCA and the Oregon Youth Authority
The Oregon Youth Authority is the state juvenile corrections agency. OYA incarcerates youth who cannot safely live in the community, and provides supervision and treatment opportunities to youth offenders in all 36 Oregon counties.
Oregon Youth Authority continues to improve their treatment, education and job training services to provide youth with the opportunity to learn personal responsibility and develop the skills and behaviors they need to make positive choices for themselves. Their goal is to help youth offenders lead crime-free lives and become productive members of their communities.
Gainful employment is critical to this and the SEDCOR Construction Alliance is stepping in to advance their goal. The SCA is working with MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility to provide career/work experience, skill building and employment connection for youth in closed custody facilities. SCA has brought together local business partners with OYA staff and school personnel to build a comprehensive career education network/program that include assessment, counseling, training, mentoring, and vocational skill building – including post placement employment – when available.
The program will be flexible to cater to case planning timelines and be designed to fit the skills, competencies and interest of youth. Youth can enhance their preparatory job skill development through academic coursework, job shadowing with skilled trades staff, on site job fairs, work crew experience, trainings and “business skills certificates” through SEDCOR.

Marion County Community Health Improvement Project (CHIP)
CHIP is a strategic plan for the community – it is a process of systematically identifying priority health issues for Marion County and formulation a plan for addressing these issues. It is important that all areas of the county be represented, because we know each community is unique.
Why do we need you?
The Community Health Improvement Planning Process should include a broad participation of community partners from around the county who will be involved in assessment, planning, prioritization of health issues, strategy development process, and implementation of the strategies. Your perspective would be valuable to the process and ensure that we are getting different view points from various organizations and areas of the county.
What would your commitment be?
Attend Kick Off event to learn more about CHIP and identify priority health issues for your community, attend a local meeting in October to begin identifying strategies to address key health issues and then starting in January, 2012 attend bi-annual local meetings to monitor progress on CHIP objectives. Agree to do what you can to address identified health issues.
Join Marion County Health Department and local Hospitals to identify our community’s greatest healthcare needs. Recent kickoff events were held at Santiam Memorial Hospital and Wellspring, part of Silverton Hospital Network.

Standards Changing for Fluorescent Lighting
Submitted by Natalie Cooper – Pacific Power
New federal standards have been enacted that will put an end to the manufacture of T12 lamps and magnetic ballasts by July 2012, making T8 lamps and electronic ballasts the new standard. The newer technology produces better light with less heat, and requires little to no maintenance for up to 20,000 hours of operation. The new standards will help produce continued energy savings and reduce controllable operating costs without compromising lighting quality.
In Oregon, Energy Trust of Oregon, Inc. offers incentives to Pacific Power customers. Businesses that convert now can take advantage of both the new technology and a bonus incentive. At some point the lower efficiency products will no longer be available in the marketplace, affecting supply and demand through 2012. Once T8s are standard practice, financial incentive may no longer be available.
Take advantage of current incentives
Energy Trust offers incentives from $10 to $42 per fixture on upgrades from T12s to T8 lamps with electronic ballasts. For a limited time, a bonus incentive of $5 per fixture will be added to these standard incentives. Businesses that convert before November 1, 2011, can tap into these additional funds and manage their upgrade on a schedule they control.
For more information, visit www.energytrust.org or call 1-866-368-7878.
