Nelson said while Temple has been presiding, some of the other circuit judges have handled proceedings as well. The state has accused Martin, 22, of killing his 10-month-old daughter, Savannah, in May 2015. He faces multiple counts of manslaughter, assault and criminal mistreatment. The court set his trial for April 26-29, but Nelson and Klahn during Thursday’s hearing also agreed to hold a settle- ment conference. Nelson said settlement conferences allow a defendant the opportunity to give their perspective to a judge that will not oversee their trial, and that judge also conveys the state’s position. The conferences have become more common in recent years and are less expensive than trials. They also are less formal than other court proceedings and are not open to the public.

Craigen waived his right to a jury trial, according to Umatilla County Circuit Court records, and Judge Russell West of Union County heard the case Tuesday in Hermiston. The state accused Craigen, 53, of having a shiv in 2013 in the Umatilla County Jail, Pendleton, while his murder trial was pending. West found Craigen guilty of supplying contraband and sentenced him to two-and-half years. That will be on top of the 27-years-to-life he is serving for murder and possessing explosives. Craigen last week tried to kick West off the case. West resided over Crai- gen’s murder and explosives trials in 2014. And Craigen sought to represent himself in the contraband trial. Circuit Judge Dan Hill denied both motions. Craigen for now remains at Snake River Correctional Institution, Ontario.

The Oregon Department of Envi- ronmental Quality issued the penalty to J & J Snack Foods Handhelds Corp. for violations at its facility at 103 Depot St., Weston. The state regulators reported J & J failed to monitor storm water discharge for iron and chromium during monitoring periods 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. DEQ also cited the company without penalty for failing to submit a timely monitoring report in 2015. The company operates under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimi- nation System permit, which requires monitoring of storm water discharge. The state environmental department relies on the monitoring to evaluate the effectiveness of storm water controls and to protect water quality and public health. Jenny Root, environmental law specialist with the DEQ, said the FRPSDQ\SDLGWKH¿QHLQIXOORQ-DQ The environmental agency penalized the company in 2013 for similar reporting violations at the same facility.
