mer. Tickets go on sale April 28
at www.ticketmaster.com and
at the zoo.
“Our shows are family-
friendly and the best place in
the Northwest to experience
music by world-class artists,”
said Krista Swan, zoo events
coordinator. “It feels like the
concert lawn is a million miles
from downtown Portland – gi-
ant fir trees sway in the breeze,
kids enjoy elephant ears, and
our elephant herd stands near-
by, watching the performances.
It’s a magical venue – there’s
no place like it!”
Concerts will be held
Wednesday through Sunday
evenings, with music as di-
verse as the animals that re-
side at the zoo. Delicious food
options at reasonable prices
will be available to guests and
concertgoers. All shows are
scheduled to start at 7:00 p.m.
rain or shine unless otherwise
noted.

Clatskanie police officer sentence to jail
Attorney General John
Kroger announced, on May 26,
that a former Clatskanie police
officer was sentenced to 180
days in jail after pleading guilty
to burglary and official miscon-
duct.
“Law enforcement officers
have enormous responsibility
and power and must be held
accountable when they break
the law,” said Attorney General
Kroger.
Joseph Lee Harrison, 35,
pleaded guilty in Columbia
County Circuit Court to two
counts of Burglary in the First
Degree, a Class A Felony, and
one count of Official Miscon-
duct, a Class A Misdemeanor.
In addition to jail, Harrison
was sentenced to three years
probation. If he violates the
terms of his probation, he faces
up to 19 months in prison.
Harrison was arrested in Au-
gust on charges that he illegal-
ly entered three Clatskanie
homes in April and July in order
to steal Vicodin and OxyContin.
Harrison was on duty and in
uniform during the first incident,
when he obtained keys to an
apartment from the owner by
means of deception. In subse-
quent incidents, Harrison ille-
gally entered unoccupied resi-
dences in order to steal pre-
scription pain medications.
Senior Assistant Attorney
General Dan Wendel prosecut-
