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.”

dler and believes no laws
were broken.
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 DALLES — The
Wasco County Board of Com-
missioners is demanding
action after a report claims the
juvenile jail in The Dalles mis-
treats youth.
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.
