Newspaper Page TextA2 THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 2019 Astoria honors a native son Appeals court rules juvenile A day for Jacob By KATIE FRANKOWICZ The Daily Astorian Astoria leaders declared Friday Robert “Jake” Jacob D ay after the entrepre- neur and architect who pre- served and created numer- ous city landmarks. Jacob, who was born and raised in Astoria, would have turned 70 on Friday. He died at his home in Astoria last year . A proclamation Mayor Bruce Jones read at a City Council meeting on Mon- day praised how Jacob spent the “last decades of his life enthusiastically helping create a vibrant and thriving Astoria.” Jacob helped design the master plan for the Astoria sentencing law unconstitutional Riverwalk. He was key in invited out to have a burger saving and preserving the with a group that included Liberty Theatre, brought Jacob and rental property the Astoria Riverfront Trol- owner and Astoria Planning ley to town, designed Commissioner and built the Cannery Sean Fitzpatrick.

Jacob had a reputation “So we’re very pleased of not taking “no” for an to be able to honor Jake on answer. the 19th with this special Jones recalled being day.” By CONRAD WILSON and DIRK VANDERHART Oregon Public Broadcasting The Oregon Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 today that the state’s sentencing of juve- niles convicted of aggravated murder violates the U.S. Constitution. “… We conclude that the imposition of life imprison- ment … on juvenile offenders without individualized con- siderations of youth by the sentencing court, is uncon- stitutional under the Eighth Amendment.” The ruling comes as the state Legislature considers more leniency for juvenile offenders. In a dramatic vote that appeared uncertain until the very end, three state Senate Republicans joined 17 Dem- ocrats on Tuesday to approve a bill to scale back strict man- datory sentences on juvenile offenders by a razor-thin mar- gin of 20-10. The bill, which Coast Guardsmen plead guilty to sex crimes tied to 2017 house party Chinook Observer SOUTH BEND, Wash. — The high-proﬁ le pros- ecution of two Coast Guardsmen for sex crimes in 2017 is almost over fol- lowing guilty pleas last week by Salvador Zamora, of Tacoma, to rape in the third degree and ﬁ rst-de- gree voyeurism . Zamora, 25, and Guill- ermo Gutierrez, 27, who were stationed at Station Cape Disappointment, were charged following an investigation of a house party on Sandridge Road during which an uncon- scious woman was raped and a video of the crime shared via Snapchat . Zamora’s crimes are punishable by up to ﬁ ve years in prison, a $10,000 ﬁ ne, or both. His sentenc- ing is scheduled for August. In September , Gutierrez pleaded guilty to ﬁ rst-de- gree voyeurism after a rape charge was dismissed. Sen- tencing was deferred until Zamora’s case was com- pleted . Gutierrez will likely get a sentence of four to 12 months, according to court documents. Paciﬁ c County Prosecu- tor Mark McClain said the victim agreed with the plea agreements. “In any case like this, the most important thing we can do is work with the survivor of this attack, and ensure we listen to her wishes as she is the one who has to live it again when we go to trial and for that reason we value their settlement desire above others when deciding how to resolve these cases,” he said. “Here, the victim, was supportive of the resolution and simply wanted to put this behind her.” Zamora and Gutier- rez face long-term conse- quences for their crimes. “This resolution ensures this man (Zamora) is known as a sex offender, as both will be required to complete sex offender treatment, and will be required to register as sex offenders once they leave jail,” McClain said. Clatsop Commu- nity College will hold an open house from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on May 3 at the Marine and Environmen- tal Research and Training Station. The campus hosts the college’s welding, auto- motive, ﬁ reﬁ ghting, his- toric preservation and other career-technical programs. With one of the only maritime science programs in the region, it is Oregon’s ofﬁ cial m aritime t raining c ollege. The college is also planning an environmen- tal science program based around the campus and sur- rounding wetlands. All programs will fea- ture displays and inter- active demonstrations, ditional release. • Ensures that people who commit crimes before they are 18, but aren’t sentenced until they turn 19, can be put into custody of the Oregon Youth Authority. Those proposals had backing from a wide array of justice ofﬁ cials, includ- ing Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, Department of Corrections Director Colette Peters and Oregon Youth Authority Director Joe O’Leary. Gov. Kate Brown is also in favor. Oregon lawmakers have for years worked to scale back certain sentencing laws for adults, but had not put a focus on juveniles. Part of that was due to the high hurdle those changes faced. Because voters approved mandatory juvenile sentences for cer- tain serious crimes in 1994’s Measure 11, they require the support of two-thirds of law- makers in each chamber to be changed.

The legislation, the cul- mination of nearly a year’s work, was a collection of ﬁ ve individual bills submitted ear- lier this year to adjust juvenile sentencing laws. Among its provisions, the bill: • Scraps voter-approved provisions that require some youth who commit serious crimes to be tried as adults, instead leaving that decision to a judge. Crimes for which juveniles 15 or older must be tried as adults include mur- der, sex offenses, kidnapping and arson. • Allows juvenile offend- ers scheduled to be released before their 27th birthday to be released when they turn 25, rather than being switched from the Oregon Youth Authority to the adult Department of Corrections. • Creates new provisions for when serious juvenile offenders are eligible for con- such as a virtual welding machine. Representatives from the college’s criminal justice program, bookstore and admissions department will be on hand to answer questions. Classic cars and street rods will be on dis- play, along with activi- ties through the state Air National Guard. The campus is at 6550 Liberty Lane in Astoria.
