Bailey Clatsop cannon to be restored ASTORIA The Clatsop County Board of Commissioners will allow a group of historyminded volunteers to remove and restore the historic cannon in front of the courthouse. The Japanese- made cannon is a war trophy from World War II and has been in place since the 1940s. But time, the elements and vandals have tarnished the landmark. Rust has set in where the paint flaked off, fixtures have been cracked, bent or broken off, and several spokes from one of the wooden wheels are gone. "There was just growing embarrassment about it," said Jerry Ostermiller, a project organizer.

Commissioners decided that the dilapidated landmark reflected poorly on Clatsop County but recognized that restoring old cannons is low on the list of the county's spending priorities, Ostermiller said. They decided to take on the task of organizing a restoration campaign themselves, relying on volunteers and donations. Prosecutors fight inmate's release KLAMATH FALLS Klamath County prosecutors plan to fight an inmate's attempt to use recently approved legislation to shave time off his prison sentence. Gary Pittsley could get out six months early under House Bill 3508, which makes some prisoners eligible for a reduction in their sentences. Lawmakers approved the measure in June to save money on prison costs.

Pittsley was sentenced October 2007 to 18 years in prison for entering a home, holding a screwdriver to an 18-year-old woman's neck and attempting to rape her. Authorities say he was high on methamphetamine at the time. Pittsley made his request Monday in Klamath County Circuit Court, but the hearing scheduled before Judge Richard Rambo was postponed pending the filing of documents.
