yhä=still

Monet talot ovat yhä ilman sähköä eri puolilla Suomea.

Keskiviikkona illalla ilman sähköä oli noin 80 000 kotia.
Wednesday evening there were about 80,000 homes without power.

Ongelmia on esimerkiksi Savossa, Kuopion ympärillä ja Satakunnassa, Porin alueella.
The problem is, for example, in Savo, around Kuopi and Satakun, and the area of Porin.

Tiistaina kova tuuli jatkui, ja lisää puita kaatui sähkölankojen päälle.
On Tuesday strong winds continued, and more trees fell onto electric wires.

Esimerkiksi Etelä-Savossa kaikkia korjaustöitä ei ehkä saada valmiiksi tällä viikolla.
For example, in Southern Savo, it's possible that all repairs may not be completed this week.

Myrskytuhojen takia junat eivät ole kulkeneet normaalisti.

On Wednesday trains weren't moving, for instance between Jyväskylä and Pieksämä.

great translations, here are the place names from your text: Kuopio (♥), Satakunta, Pori, Pieksämäki. :)
also, Itä-Suomen is more like "Eastern Finland's".
oh and i've just noticed, here eri puolilla is more like "in various parts of"... it doesn't always literally mean one half.

So to each police department, the advice from the boys was to become something like an advisor, and from now on to change the passive attitude towards the problem -- to switch the objective to be more of a pro-active relationship; this was named the "direct delivery model."
問題が残り、将来に不安を感じるケースにつ いて、保護者らの了解を前提に、所轄所の少 年担当の警察官や地域のボランティアらが連 絡をとる。
Problems remained, for the cases with an uncertain future, the advisor's understanding was assumed to be that the police department's youth counselors, the regional volunteers and others would contact the youths.

However extremely dificult it is to find times when one has in abundance the simple products of commerce, one is powerfully moved, and one has times when he receives help. If I had a chance to live one more time, I certainly would.
