Families Survey" includes questions about juvenile crime, family
violence, affordable housing, access to health services, child abuse,
childcare availability, family homelessness, poverty and more.

Community input will be used to help create the Juvenile Crime
Prevention Plan and the Community Plan. The plans will help staff
decide which prevention programs and services are needed in Deschutes
County.

The Juvenile Crime Prevention Plan will be forwarded to the Governor's
Juvenile Crime Prevention Advisory Council in April.

To access the survey please visit http://www.deschutescountykids.com .

Hard copies of the survey are also available on the CCF website at www.deschutes.org/ccf

Pyramid Beach Productions' "Atro-City Sleepers" Selected for 2010 Indie Music Video Festival

My friend and college roommate Douglas Magnuson recently blended his mad art skills (he's an accomplished painter who taught at NYC's School of Visual Arts and traveled the world as an assistant to American modern painting icon Frank Stella) and his filmmaking prowess into a freshly original rock music video for NY band The Netherlands. He also won the Music Video category at this year's Festivus Film Festival in Denver, and this is the latest honor - the first of many more to come. -hoc
