record,” Marquis said.
Last year, Fisk accepted
the prosecution’s downward
departure offer of five-year
probation rather than a pos-
sible 25- to 30-month prison
sentence.
Fisk was charged with
fourth-degree assault for in-
juring a woman July 8, 2013,
after having been previous-
ly convicted of four domes-
tic violence charges. On
May 27, Fisk was charged
with fourth-degree assault,
interference with making a
911 report and harassment
for abusing another woman.
The assault in May oc-
curred in front of the wom-
an’s child, according to the
indictment.
Within one year, Fisk
violated his probation and
now faces nearly four years
in prison.
“We gave him a shot and
he blew it,” Marquis said.

Astoria joins others offering
free full-day kindergarten
Beginning the 2015-16 school year, Asto-
ria, Jewell and Seaside school districts will
be offering free full-day kindergarten, joining
Knappa and Warrenton-Hammond.
Oregon Senate Bill 248, passed in 2011, man-
dated that schools offer free, full-day kindergar-
ten. Previously, the state only paid for 2.5 hours
of kindergarten per school day. Lawmakers have
proposed adding $600 million to school funding
for the 2015-17 biennium, in part to cover the im-
plementation of full-day kindergarten.
