2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2017 Judge, a favorite otter at the Oregon Coast Aquarium, dies Associated Press NEWPORT — Judge, a crowd-pleasing otter who played hide-and-seek with vis- itors, has died at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. He was 17. The aquarium said Friday that Judge died of complica- tions of old age, including arthritis and pneumonia. He was found stranded as a small pup and took part in the aquarium’s surrogate mother program. After seven failed attempts to release Judge into the wild, he made the aquarium his life- long home. Judge was famous for ser- enading trainers with a low wailing sound — and his keep- ers would sing back to him. He also was the centerpiece Coast Guard A Coast Guard crew aboard the Triumph II, a 52-foot motor lifeboat from Station Cape Disappointment, towed the 58-foot fishing vessel Ashlyne to Astoria Sunday. Coast Guard tows in fishing boat The Daily Astorian ILWACO, Wash. — The Coast Guard towed in a 58-foot fishing vessel carry- ing four people and 42,000 pounds of fish Sunday after the crew lost use of the main engine about 17 miles west of Willapa Bay. A boat crew aboard the Triumph II, a 52-foot motor life boat from Station Cape Disappointment, met the crew of the 58-foot drag- ger Ashlyne and towed them across the Columbia River Bar into Astoria. Towing the Ashlyne was estimated 70- to 80-mile round-trip, towing 110 tons on the way in. “That would make it close to the max towing capacity of the 47-MLBs, which is 150 tons,” said Chief Petty Offi- cer Bradd Beckett, executive officer, Station Cape Disap- pointment. “Being that close to the towing capacity made fuel consumption a concern.” The large volume of water that moves out on an ebb tide across deeper bars such as the Columbia and the strug- gle to operate a 47-footer in that environment was also of concern. That same envi- ronment, however, has little effect on the operation of the 52-footer due to the nature of construction. “Coming back, we would of had to wait for the ebb to pass if we used the 47-MLB,” Beckett said. “Using the 52-MLB eliminated all those concerns.” TUESDAY WEDNESDAY 51 36 36 Partly cloudy Sunny to partly cloudy ALMANAC Associated Press Tillamook 37/53 Mostly cloudy with occasional rain First Dec 26 Coos Bay 38/58 Last Jan 1 Jan 8 Source: Jim Todd, OMSI TOMORROW'S TIDES Astoria / Port Docks Time 2:24 a.m. 3:30 p.m. Low 1.7 ft. 1.6 ft.

Authorities say the inmate, 47-year-old Chris- topher Bartlett, was being uncooperative and combat- ive when deputies tried to move him to a different cell in August. After a warning, the dog was released into Bartlett’s cell. The 3-year-old Belgian Malinois bit Bartlett’s arm above the elbow until his handler called him off. The American Civil Lib- erties Union of Oregon calls the incident inhumane and wants to find Bartlett, who has since been released. Bartlett’s sister says her brother is homeless and suf- fers from mental illness.

The East Oregonian reported commissioners Rod Runyon, Scott Hege and Steve Kramer each signed a letter last week urging the board of directors for the Northern Ore- gon Regional Correctional Facility to convene an emer- gency meeting to hand over control of the juvenile deten- tion facility to an oversight committee. Sarah Radcliffe, attor- ney for Disability Rights Ore- gon, created a report based on visits to the juvenile jail and interviews with 23 youth. She found the facility often shut youth in cells for hours at a time, and jail staff disciplined youth as young as 12 for talking while in line or looking anywhere but straight ahead. Juvenile inmates on “disci- plinary status” were subjected to weeks of isolation, accord- ing to the report, cut off from phone calls and visits. They ate alone and could not par- ticipate in education with their peers. Getting off disciplinary sta- tus depended on earning pass- ing marks on scorecards that staff filled out each shift. Rad- cliffe found there was no set number for how many shifts youth must pass. NORCOR director Byran Brandenburg has said juveniles at the jail do not suffer inhu- mane treatment, and he criti- cized the report for inaccuracies and exaggerations. However, Brandenburg said NORCOR has changed several practices in the wake of the report that went public Tuesday morning, including allowing students to have pens and journals in their cells and allowing students on disciplinary status to have calls and visitors. He also said the facility did away with “silly rules” that prohibited youth from looking around or asking what time it was.
