5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, MAY 12, 2016 Trump, Ryan, pledge to work together Endorsement may be close By ERICA WERNER AP Congressional Correspondent WASHINGTON — Don- ald Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan pledged to work together despite their differ- ences after a meeting Thursday aimed unifying a party torn over Trump’s rise to the cusp of the Republican presiden- tial nomination. The speaker appeared closer to offering a full-throated endorsement. Trump and Ryan issued a statement describing their meeting as a “very positive step toward uniication” that recognized “many important areas of common ground” as well as areas where they dis- agree. Ryan stunned Repub- licans by withholding his endorsement a week ago when it became clear Trump was on a irm path to the nomination. The much-anticipated meeting unfolded Thursday morning as more Republicans have begun urging the party to put the extraordinary dis- cord behind. The statement by the two suggested both are invested in tamping down the Republican inighting as they try to pull the GOP together for the ight against Hillary Clin- ton and Democrats in the fall. Ryan told a news confer- ence they are “planting the seeds” to accomplish that. Republican Rep. Lee Zel- din of New York, a Trump supporter, said it will help both the candidate and the speaker if they can work through their differences. “I don’t think it’s do or die, any endorsement in particu- lar,” he said outside the build- ing. But “Donald Trump’s can- didacy is strengthened with an endorsement from the most powerful person, top-ranking Republican in the country. It helps.” On the eve of the meet- ings, Trump eased his deiant tone of recent days. Asked on Fox News who leads the party in his view, he said Ryan. “I would say Paul for the time being and maybe for a long time,” he said. “We can always have dif- ferences,” he said. “If you agree on 70 percent, that’s always a lot.” Differences The two men represent AP Photo/Andrew Harnik Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump waves as he arrives for a meeting with House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wis., at the Republican National Committee Headquar- ters on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday.

Trump, for years a regis- tered Democrat, has offended women, Hispanics, and others while violating establishment party orthodoxy on numerous issues Ryan holds dear, from trade to wages to religious freedom. Ryan, a policy-fo- cused conservative, insists the GOP must be a party of ideas, and has championed an agenda that has drawn Trump’s scorn by pushing cuts in Medi- care and other government programs. Indeed, a broader swath of Republican voters appears to be moving behind Trump, despite big-name holdouts such as Ryan, both former president Bushes and the par- ty’s 2012 nominee, Mitt Rom- ney. Romney went after Trump on Wednesday over his refusal thus far to release his taxes, calling it “disqualifying” and asserting that the only expla- nation must be “a bombshell of unusual size.” Still, almost two in three Republican-leaning voters now view Trump favorably, compared with 31 percent who view him unfavorably, accord- ing to a national Gallup Poll taken last week. The numbers represent a near total reversal from Gallup’s survey in early March. And on Capitol Hill, where Ryan has managed to remain popular since taking over as speaker in the fall, some Republicans made clear that they would like to see him come around to supporting Trump sooner rather than later. Rep. Tom Cole of Okla- homa, an ally of GOP leader- ship, said Thursday his biggest worry about Trump is that he is “‘unpredictable.” Yet Trump is also a “change agent,” Cole said. “That’s exactly what peo- ple want right now, so in that sense he’s very well-posi- tioned for a general election.” “It seems to me they have every incentive to ind com- mon ground,” he said of Trump and Ryan, “because to be successful they both in a sense need one another.” Three meetings were on tap for Trump: the one with Ryan and the party chairman, then with Ryan joined by other senior House GOP leaders and one with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other top Senate Republicans. McConnell was quick to embrace the mogul after he clinched the nomination and said this week that Trump is looking like he’ll be “very competitive” in November. Oregon to begin new science standards and new test in 2018 The Associated Press BEND — Oregon schools will begin teaching new sci- ence standards and plans to introduce a new science test in 2018. Oregon has begun phasing in the new Next Generation Science Standards, which are used by 18 states and empha- size hands-on learning and con- cepts such as cause and effect or stability and change, The Bulletin of Bend reported. The new standards, which replace Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills, were adopted in 2014. Oficials say it’s too soon to tell what the tests will look like, but that the standards move away from memorization. “Because there is the expec- tation of higher-level thinking skills and the opportunity for students to demonstrate what they know, we would expect that the test would be more than a straight multiple-choice test, which is what we have now,” said Derek Brown, direc- tor of assessment at the Ore- gon Department of Education, of moving tot eh Smarter Bal- anced tests. Federal law requires schools test students in science at least once in third through ifth US senators want air pollution reduced at ports and railyards The Associated Press NEWARK, N.J. — A group of U.S. senators, all Democrats, are asking fed- eral regulators to do more to cut air pollution around port cities and railyards. New Jersey Sens. Bob Menendez and Cory Booker joined New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin and Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley on Wednesday in a letter urging the Environ- mental Protection Agency to reduce emissions at ports and freight railyards. “The large volumes of air pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emitted by heavy duty die- sel trucks, ocean-going ves- sels, cargo handling equip- ment, railroad locomotives and harbor craft are heavily LISTINGS A - Charter Astoria/ Seaside - L - Charter Long Beach grade, once in sixth through ninth grade and once in 10th through 12th grade. That will continue under the new federal education law. The science standards pair with the state’s Smarter Bal- anced tests for English lan- guage arts and math, which debuted last year. Previously, schools used the old test for science. Oregon Department of Edu- cation oficials said the delay between the new standards and introducing the test is typ- ical. Brown said the new sci- ence standards have not faced as much pushback as Common Core, but with Common Core the conversation shifted to the negative as schools came closer to handing out an assessment. Though students are still taking the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge tests, Paciic Crest Middle School science teacher Sara Trakselis, of Bend, said she won’t focus on the results. Instead she has been developing tests for the new standards, where students must interpret data, investigate pat- terns, create models and ind explanations. “They’re harder to write and they’re harder to grade, but they’re better for the kids,” she said. concentrated in the commu- nities,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to EPA administra- tor Gina McCarthy. The lawmakers said many of the ports and rail- yards are located near low- er-income neighborhoods and those residents are dis- proportionately exposed to high levels of air pollution resulting in serious health problems. “The impacts, espe- cially on children, result in increased risk for can- cer, missed school days and more hospital visits,” the lawmakers said. They urged the EPA to act before the end of the Obama administration to promote the use of zero-emissions transportation technology and to minimize freight emissions.
