Pat Malone credits his resourcefulness to the time when he was graduate student at the University of Oregon. Malone was studying applied arts, a program that shared space with the architecture department, emphasis on architecture.
Although applied arts was housed in a brand new building, there wasn’t any equipment to do ceramics. The instructors decided to buy tools and materials and have the students build the interior of the shop along with kilns and wheels.
“Look around,” he was told. “See what you can figure out.”
On Thursday, January 3, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. in the Benton County Courthouse, Sheriff Scott Jackson and Commissioner Pat Malone were sworn into office by presiding Judge Williams.
This marks the beginning of Commissioner Malone's first term and Sheriff Jackson’s second term. In July 2013, Jackson was unanimously appointed by the Board of Commissioners to fulfill retiring Sheriff Simpson's term of office, and in 2014 was elected Sheriff by the voters of Benton County. Sheriff Jackson is Benton County's 30th Sheriff.
