Beer? Wine? Or weed? Denver
voters approve pot in bars
Amid strains, Trump says only he
knows finalists for Cabinet
DENVER — A glass of wine with dinner? Or maybe some
marijuana?
Denver voters have approved a first-in-the-nation law allow-
ing willing bars and restaurants to give patrons the option to use
marijuana alongside a cocktail or meal. The catch: Smoking pot
won’t be allowed inside, and the locations would have to first get
the approval of neighbors.
Denver voters approved Proposition 300 on the same day that
the nation’s largest state of California and two others legalized pot
for all adults and five more states approved pot for sick people —
signs of society’s increasing tolerance for the drug.
“It’s the sensible thing to do,” said Emmett Reistroffer, a Den-
ver marijuana consultant and campaign manager for the pot-in-
bars measure. “This is about personal responsibility and respecting
adults who want to have a place to enjoy cannabis.”
Denver’s measure takes effect immediately, but it has a lot of
caveats.
NEW YORK — President-elect Donald Trump hadn’t been
seen in public for days when he walked into New York’s 21 Club
to applause from fellow diners. The unannounced evening out with
family was a contrast to the behind-the scenes machinations that
suggested a struggling transition as names surfaced and sank for
top administration positions.
Not to worry, Trump suggested in a Tuesday night tweet: “Very
organized process taking place as I decide on Cabinet and many
other positions. I am the only one who knows who the finalists are!”
Before dinner at the midtown Manhattan restaurant— he broke
with protocol and left his press contingent behind — Trump met
with the head of his transition team, Vice President-elect Mike
Pence, but another day passed without a Cabinet announcement.
Strains were showing within the process. Trump’s allies
engaged in an unusual round of public speculation about his poten-
tial appointments. Former Rep. Mike Rogers, a respected Republi-
can voice on national security issues, quit the transition effort. And
an apparent clerical oversight effectively halted the Trump team’s
ability to coordinate with President Barack Obama’s White House.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani seemed to be angling
for secretary of state. But Trump’s transition team was reviewing
Giuliani’s paid consulting work for foreign governments, which
could delay a nomination or bump Giuliani to a different position,
according to a person briefed on the matter but not authorized to
speak publicly about it.

Minnesota officer charged with
manslaughter in Castile death
ST. PAUL, Minn. — A Minnesota police officer has been
charged with second-degree manslaughter in the killing of Phi-
lando Castile, a black man whose girlfriend streamed the grue-
some aftermath of the fatal shooting live on Facebook, prosecu-
tors announced today.
St. Anthony police officer Jeronimo Yanez shot the 32-year-old
during a July 6 traffic stop in the St. Paul suburb of Falcon Heights.
Castile’s girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, was in the car along with
her young daughter at the time. The woman said Castile was shot
several times while reaching for his ID after telling Yanez he had a
gun permit and was armed.
Yanez’s attorney, Tom Kelly, has said Yanez, who is Latino,
was reacting to the presence of a gun, and that one reason Yanez
pulled Castile over was because he thought he looked like a possi-
ble match for an armed robbery suspect.
But family members claimed Castile, an elementary school caf-
eteria worker, was racially profiled.
Ramsey County Attorney John Choi got the case from investi-
gators in late September and began reviewing the evidence for pos-
sible charges. Choi resisted pressure immediately after the shoot-
ing to turn the case over to a special prosecutor, but added one to
his team to get an outside perspective. He also enlisted the help of
national use-of-force consultants.
Choi’s office has said a key question in his review was deter-
mining whether Yanez was justified in believing deadly force was
necessary.
In Minnesota, second-degree manslaughter, or involuntary
manslaughter, carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.
Southern Oregon pot growers
having to torch moldy marijuana
WHITE CITY — Huge piles of moldy marijuana in Southern
Oregon are going up in smoke this fall after record rains in October
took a toll on many crops.
“At first I was freaking out about how much we are losing,” said
Brent Kenyon, a cannabis activist who helped craft the state’s rules
on pot. “But I’ve heard a lot of really sad stories from people who
lost a majority of their crops.”
Kenyon estimates about 20 percent or more of his crop will be
burned at his farm near White City, reports the (Medford) Mail
Tribune.

Brent Kenyon burns a pile of marijuana affected by mold at
his grow site near White City. Huge piles of moldy marijua-
na in the Southern Oregon city are going up in smoke this
fall after record rains in October took a toll on many crops.
Overall, this will be a tough year for growers, who faced an
onslaught of russet mites in the summer and then mold in the fall,
Kenyon said. The mold destroys the marijuana flowers and spreads
quickly, particularly after heavy rains.
Jackson County has one-third of all commercial marijuana
grow sites in the state, according to the Oregon Liquor Control
Commission.
Kenyon has held several bonfires using moldy marijuana
stacked about 10 feet high. He likens his losses to the pears that
drop on the ground in orchards throughout the valley.
“We had an acceptable loss given the circumstances,” he said.
University of Oregon enrollment
drops for fourth year in a row
EUGENE — Enrollment at the University of Oregon fell 2 per-
cent this year, marking four years of declining enrollment for the
school.
The Register-Guard reports that a total of 23,634 students
enrolled at the university this year, down 2 percent from fall 2105
and 4 percent from the record high in fall 2012.
Overall, the student population at the university has been falling
or flat for a half-dozen years after UO officials quickly increased
the student population in a major growth spurt.
Though overall enrollment is falling, the number of out-of-
state graduate students has been growing, with 11 percent more
undergraduates coming from outside Oregon this year compared
to 2002. The number of in-state graduate students has dropped 25
percent since peak enrollment in 2002.
MEXICO CITY — Dressed in their classic silver and black
uniforms, the Raiders players huddle before kickoff. After words
of encouragement and a prayer, the teenagers finish with head
butts, shoulder slaps and a battle cry: “Uno, dos, tres... vamos!”
This is, after all, south of the border, where football has a cen-
tury-old tradition, rivals soccer in popularity and millions of kids
like the “Raiders de Arboleda” play “futbol americano” — Ameri-
can football — every weekend.
The NFL returns to Mexico after an 11-year absence when the
Texans face the Raiders in a regular season game on Nov. 21 in
sold-out Azteca Stadium. For the “Mexican” Raiders and others
across the country, football is part of Mexican sports tradition as
much as soccer, boxing and lucha libre.
“Football gives you the chance to take your passion to the field,
to hit people and not get fined,” said Raiders quarterback Gabriel
Ayana, 16. “Maybe that’s why it’s so popular.”
The NFL has around 25 million fans in Mexico, the biggest num-
ber outside of the U.S., and its base “is still growing,” said Arturo
Olive, director of the NFL office in Mexico. The league sponsors
6,500 teams in youth programs in 27 of 32 Mexican states, and
estimates 2.5 million kids play flag football in elementary schools.
India’s currency swap sets off
endless lines of frustration
NEW DELHI — The first people showed up at the bank long
before dawn, forming a line in the cold and the smog and silently
waiting for the chance to withdraw their own money. They left
more than seven hours later, each holding the handful of bills,
worth $60 at the very most, that they’d been allowed to take
home.
By midday, the lines snaked back and forth across the parking
lot outside the Axis Bank branch in central New Delhi. Occasion-
ally, a policeman carrying a long bamboo club would slap some-
one who stepped out of line. No one complained. In a crowd like
this, largely working-class and uneducated, no one talks back to a
policeman. Especially not one carrying a club.
“They keep telling us that that this is good, and maybe they’re
right,” said Shahida Parveen, a 36-year-old woman whose family
had almost no usable money left. “But I don’t see anything good
happening.”
This is just one bank, in one city, in a country of 1.3 billion peo-
ple, millions of them increasingly desperate for cash amid a cha-
otic government effort to crack down on corruption by banning
high-denomination currency notes.
Last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced in a sur-
prise nighttime TV address that all 500- and 1,000-rupee notes,
worth about $7.50 and $15, would be withdrawn immediately
from circulation, a move designed to fight corruption and target
people who have been dodging taxes by holding immense stock-
piles of cash, known in India as “black money.”
