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.”

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-

HRCSO conducted aerial

avail.
More than a year later,
the Schneider brothers were
arrested Wednesday in con-

disappearance, according to

FROM LUKE 21:20-28
Jesus said to his disciples:
“When you see Jerusalem surrounded
by armies know that its desolation is
near. 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.”
