OREGON - Corrections Director Richard Sly has notified the county he intends to retire in June, capping more than 30 years with the department, the last 10 as director. Although assigned to Yamhill County from early in his career, Sly, 59, was officially a state employee until the state turned the parole and probation function over to the counties in 1995. He was raised on an Amity farm. Acknowledging days spent "toiling over the proper sentiment to fuse with the message," Sly said in his letter, dated Jan. 31, that the most important point was the department's good health. "One of the distinguishing characteristics of the criminal justice system in this county is a spirit of cooperation and mutual assistance," he wrote. "That didn't happen by accident," he continued, and credited commissioners, his staff and other local law enforcement officials, in carrying on the tradition and culture instilled by his predecessor, longtime corrections director Lou Chandler.
