Child Porn nets seven year prison sentence…
A 67-year old Florence man was sentenced to seven years in prison yesterday for viewing and trading child porn online. Allen Leroy McCasland received the sentence a week after he was convicted of 18 felony counts of child sexual abuse. He has been in the Lane County Jail since September… three months after officials with the state’s Internet Crimes Against Children unit served a search warrant at his home and seized evidence. The prosecutor said that evidence showed McCasland had been viewing and trading online child porn for the past six years. Lane County Circuit Judge Ilisa Rooke-Ley said she felt “scarred” after viewing the child pornography as part of the case. McCasland apologized to the judge and any others who had to view the images because of his actions.
What’s happening in Fraude-Ville? Tomorrow night’s fund-raiser for the Boys and Girls Club started out as a lip-synch competition where local groups get together and mime their favorite music on stage.
205 – “There are three lip-synch acts. An act from Siuslaw Bank and they are called the ‘Bankers undead’, the group from State Farm Insuarance and we have a group sponsored by Coast Insurance and they are called ‘the Red-Necked Women’.”
Event organizer Jean Murphey says there are several other things happening as well. Mapleton’s “singing loggers” Craig and Terry will perform as will the Flukes… the Florence Ukelele group. There’ll be complimentary food and drink and even a dunk tank.
206 – “But it’s all about fun. It is all about having fun, it’s all about raising money for the boys and girls club so, I’m really excited. I think we’re going to have a really good time.”
It starts at 5:30 tomorrow. The cost is $25 per person… 21 and older… It’s at Three Rivers Casino.
Even though Deschutes County grew by a whopping 37-percent since the last census, eight other counties east of the Cascades shrank. Oregon lawmakers are getting their first look this week at the 2010 census figures on a ‘block-by-block’ basis. Oregon grew by 12-percent overall and there are now 3.8-million people here. Lane County grew by an estimated nine-percent to just over 350-thousand. The figures will be used to redraw legislative districts later this year.
The Lane Memorial Blood Bank is celebrating its 50th anniversary supplying blood to local hospitals with a name change. Executive Director Douglas Engel says the name may be new, but their mission remains the same. They’re rolling out their new logo and new name today… Lane Blood Center. The Center operates a bi-monthly blood drive in the Florence area.
Here is the latest Oregon news from The Associated Press
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - A jury in Eugene has decided that an Oregon
woman should be sentenced to death for torturing and killing her
15-year-old daughter. KVAL-TV reports jurors reached that decision
late yesterday in the case of Angela McAnulty. She addressed jurors
for the first time on Wednesday, acknowledging she fatally abused
her daughter, but adding: "I did not want my little girl to die."
PRINEVILLE, Ore. (AP) - A 2-year-old boy wearing only a diaper
was found cold and shaking but otherwise unhurt after he managed to
get out of his rural central Oregon home and wander for more than
20 minutes in subfreezing cold and 3 inches of snow. The boy was
treated for mild hypothermia. His mother's boyfriend, Michael Mac
Pheators, could face charges of child neglect and resisting arrest.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A half dozen FBI agents will join Oregon
investigators trying to wrap up the case of Kyron Horman of
Portland, who vanished in June at age 7. The agents, stationed in
Portland, will help a task force that's been working with
Virginia-based FBI profilers. Investigators have focused on Kyron's
stepmother, Terri Moulton Horman; she hasn't been charged or named
a suspect.
SALEM, Ore. (AP) - Police say the bank robbery suspect they're
seeking after Thursday's holdup at a Chase Bank branch in south
Salem, Ore., has a large nose with acne scars and, oh yes, he may
be orange. Lt. Steve Birr says 45 seconds after the man left with
an undisclosed amount of cash, an orange dye pack put into his bag
exploded and likely painted the man and stolen loot orange.
SALEM, Ore. (AP) - Oregon lawmakers are considering a bill that
would impose a $20,000 fine for people convicted of paying for sex
with a person younger than 18. The House Judiciary Committee holds
a public hearing on the measure today. The bill says defendants
cannot argue that they didn't know the prostitute was a minor.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - The Oregon Board of Higher Education has

automatically admits students with a 3.4 GPA and who exceed state

2012 school year.
OREGON CITY, Ore. (AP) - A 55-year-old man is facing charges of

was found Feb. 9. The Oregonian says Anthony Glenn Johnson has been
ordered to appear March 21 in Clackamas County.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - The National Weather Service says it will
be below freezing in most of Oregon today, with nighttime
