Former Burnt River teacher arrested



UNITY (AP) — A high school teacher who resigned at the end of last school year was arrested this week on accusations that he sexually abused a 16-year-old girl.

Kolton Kock, 26, was arraigned Tuesday in Baker County and granted a conditional release.

Kock is accused of having sexual contact with the Burnt River High School student between May 21 and June 2. Kock left his job as vocational agricultural teacher in May and the Burnt River School Board accepted his resignation at its June meeting, Superintendent Robert Otheim said. The Burnt River position was Kock’s first teaching job, Otheim said. The superintendent had reported the allegations to the Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission.

‘‘I did what was required by the law,’’ Otheim said.

" These potato patties are pretty quick and good. Microwave them until they aren't cold anymore then, set them on the pancake grill to make them crispy. Add ketchup, toast, honey, sausage and an omelet. The best part of your day is about to be savored. "

" Your account of Richard Barlow's ordeal is appreciated. Whistleblowers also include people, like myself, that worked for those that were foreign nationals and by trusting U. S. government employees, brought disaster to themselves. Meanwhile, the Department of Defense made demands on foreign governments to stop proliferators. Thanks to Adrian Levy's recent book, I heard about Richard Barlow and I heard about the lying to Congress. Now I understand why my life was trashed. Perhaps someday my son will forgive me. "
