The Dalles Chronicle Mike Cantrell, 48, could soon be moving from his home in Omaha, Neb., to take the helm as adminis- trator of the Northern Ore- gon Regional Correctional Facilities in The Dalles. He was offered the job during a Ju n e 1 meeting of the N O R - C O R board but will not be- c o m e the offi- cial hire Mike Cantrell until a background check and psy- chological profile have been completed, according to Jim Weed. He said the investigative work on Cantrell will be done by Terry Scattergood, a retired detective from The Dalles, and is expected to take about two weeks. The NORCOR board is comprised of elected offi- c i a l s f r o m H o o d R ive r, Wa s c o, S h e r m a n a n d Gilliam counties, which share responsibility for op- eration of the jail. Weed said Cantrell was chosen out of three finalists and 31 candidates because he has over 15 years of ex- perience in the supervision and management of correc- tional facilities. “While his experience is in the juvenile side of cor- rections, the administrative skills that he has will bene- fit both the adult and juve- nile sides of NORCOR,” said Weed. “We are excited to have him come to NORCOR with his background and abili- ty.” Weed, who was hired in 2009, will be retiring at the end of the month. Cantrell and his wife, Carol, are looking forward to relocating to the Pacific Northwest. “I’m thrilled,” he said about being chosen as Weed’s replacement. “I’m excited about the possibili- ties at NORCOR.” His native state is Ken- tucky and he holds a bache- l o r ’s i n s o c i o l o g y f ro m Union College in Bar- bourville, Ken. Cantrell has more than 26 years of experience in the juvenile justice field. He is currently responsible to run a 60-bed juvenile female program that provides both housing and educational services. He has worked as director of a juvenile substance abuse treatment center, counselor, and supervisor of a probation office. In addition, he has been an executive charged with oversight of operations at nine juvenile detention cen- ters. According to his resume, Cantrell has developed and managed budgets as large as $37 million and overseen facilities with more than 600 staff members. He has testified in the Legislature on funding and juvenile programming is- sues. “I am very comfortable working with law enforce- ment, politicians, parents, juveniles and other stake- holders,” he wrote in his cover letter to the NORCOR board. He is a certified grant writer, grant specialist and group facilitator. “I believe strongly that a justice system must accom- plish keeping a community safe and providing ample opportunities for those in the system to acquire skills and have the opportunity to turn their lives around by being held accountable for their actions and being challeng e to rise above their poor decision-making and impulsivity through service provision,” stated Cantrell. “I am a leader who be- lieves in doing the right things in the right manner for the right reasons.” A7 Photos by Patrick Mulvihill Photo by Kirby Neumann-Rea S PEED Z ONE Oregon Department of Transporta- tion recently installed flashing yellow lights on Highway 35 at the north and south ends of the Pine Grove speed zone surrounding the intersec- tion with Van Horn Drive.

Peter Schnei- der’s bail was set at $5,000. Jason Muschaweck went missing on May 5 last year. He was last seen on May 4, 2015 — his 24th birthday — at the home he shared with his brother at 7390 Clear Creek Road in Parkdale. Law enforcement was orig- inally called to Muschaweck’s home on the evening of May 5 after relatives reported a bur- glary at the house. Inside, de puties found Muschaweck’s 2-year-old pit bull, Sox, had been shot and stabbed, but was still alive. Sox has since recovered and is in good health, said Sharon Muschaweck, Jason’s mother. At the scene last May, po- lice did not find Muschaweck inside. The house was “ransacked,” a family member reported, with numerous items miss- ing. Detectives conducted a s e a rch fo r M u s ch awe ck throughout the year, and HRCSO conducted aerial searches last spring to no avail.

For a terrible calamity will come upon the earth and a wrathful judg- ment will come Upon this people.” There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars. On earth Nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves. Peo- ple will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then, they will see the Son of Man, (Jesus), coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” Share-Faith Prayers by Tom Lexow
