‘Man in tree’
gets probation
through mental
health court

Seattle man refused to come
down from giant sequoia
Associated Press
SEATTLE — Officials
say a man who refused to
come down from a giant
sequoia tree in Seattle will
have his charges dismissed if
he complies with the terms of
his probation for two years.
The King County Pros-
ecutor’s Office says Cody
Lee Miller was charged in
King County’s regional men-
tal health court Friday with
misdemeanor assault and
malicious mischief charges.
But, officials say, if he com-
plies with conditions includ-
ing mental health treatment
and daily medication mon-
itoring, the charges will be
dismissed.
Miller was originally
charged with felonies after he
climbed to the top of the tree
in March and remained there
for about 25 hours, ignoring
police efforts to coax him
down and throwing apples
and branches at responders.
The drama sparked
intense interest on social
media, with new Twitter
accounts and the hashtag
#ManInTree trending.
Miller was found not
competent to stand trial and
sent to Western State Hos-
pital for several months of
mental health treatment.

downtown Seattle in March. Authorities say the 25-hour
saga of Miller, who refused to come down from a giant
sequoia tree in downtown Seattle was “an incalculable
waste of time and services.”
Study blames low snowpack last year on high temperatures
By NICHOLAS K.
GERANIOS
Associated Press
SPOKANE, Wash. — The
western United States set
records for low winter snow-
pack levels in 2015, and a new
report blames high tempera-
tures rather than low precip-
itation levels, according to a
new study.
Greenhouse gases appear
to be a major contributor to
the high temperatures, accord-
ing to the study published
Monday in the journal Geo-
physical Research Letters.
Scientists
looked
at
snow-measurement sites in
California, Oregon, Washing-
ton state, western Nevada and
western Idaho. They found
that in 2015, more than 80 per-
cent of those sites experienced
record low snowpack lev-
els as a result of much warm-
er-than-average temperatures.
Most of the previous
records were set in 1977,
a drought year, said Philip
Mote, lead author of the study
and director of the Oregon
Climate Change Research
Institute at Oregon State
University.
“The 2015 snowpack sea-
son was an extreme year,”
Mote said. “But because of the
increasing influence of green-
house gases, years like this
may become commonplace
over the next few decades.”
Winter snowpack in the
mountains is important in the
arid West because the melting
snow provides precious water
in dry months. The snow
drought last winter led the
governors of California, Ore-
gon and Washington to order
reductions in water use.
California has been in a
drought since 2011. Oregon
and Washington experienced
much
higher-than-average
temperatures during the 2014-
15 winter, but they were not as
dry overall as California, the
report said.
We’ve got you covered...
WARRENTON — War-
renton Police arrested two
more people they say are
connected to the theft of a
rifle from Fred Meyer in
October.
Max Rauh, 18, and Con-
nor Morgan, 18, both from
rural Astoria, were arrested
Monday and charged with
first-degree theft. They
appeared in surveillance
footage of the Oct. 21 theft
and it seems obvious they
knew what was going on
when their friend James
Ogier broke the rifle out of
its safety devices and took it,
said Warrenton Police Chief
Mathew Workman.
“They didn’t react like a
normal person would,” he
said.
Rauh and Morgan deny
they were involved in the
theft of the rifle, but admitted
to police they knew Ogier,
20, also of Astoria, had sto-
len the rifle when they were
outside the store. Workman
said anyone who witnesses a
crime needs to report it, once
it’s safe to do so. Looking
at the video footage, he has
his doubts about the men’s
statements.
Ogier was arrested sev-
eral days before Rauh and
Morgan after a correc-
tions deputy recognized
him in the surveillance foot-
age. He faces charges of
first and second-degree bur-
glary, second-degree crim-
inal mischief, tampering
with physical evidence and
first-degree theft as well as a
probation violation.
Police were able to
recover the rifle and arrest
the primary suspect within
roughly 24 hours of the crime
being committed, Workman
said.
Family of man who died falling
off Seaside deck settles suit
Associated Press
PORTLAND — The fam-
ily of a 77-year-old man who
died after falling while try-
ing to step onto a deck has
agreed to settle its lawsuit
against a Seaside vacation
condominium.
The Oregonian/Oregon-
Live reported that the fam-
ily of David Lloyd Roach
dropped its $4.3 million law-
suit in exchange for $37,500.
The civil trial had been set to
start last week in Multnomah
County Circuit Court.
Roach was renting sev-
eral units in the oceanfront
vacation condo complex in
August 2013 when he tried
to step from the grass onto
the deck of one of the units.
The deck was 14 inches off
the ground. Roach stubbed
his toe on the deck, fell back-
ward and struck his head. He
died as a result of his injuries.
