     --20 September 2002  Oregon Cyber Security Awareness Program for Youth
    The Hillsboro, Oregon police department plans to launch a cybersecurity
    awareness program aimed at young people. The Cyber Awareness,
    Responsibility and Ethics program will begin at the Boys and Girls
    Clubs of Hillsboro and eventually spread to the schools. The program
    hopes to educate area youth about the effect their actions can have;
    it will also encourage constructive cyber experimentation under the
    guidance of other young people.

    [Editor's Note ]Schultz): Ultimately, strategic gains in the
    information security arena will be due to efforts like the one
    described in this news item. The next generation merits our full
    attention when it comes to security education and awareness.]
