5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2016 WORLD IN BRIEF called House Bill 2 and went home Wednesday. The law omits gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people from state anti-discrimina- tion protections, bars local governments from passing broad non-discrimination ordinances covering them, and orders transgender people to use bathrooms and showers that align with their sex at birth. “I’m disappointed that we have yet to remove the stain from the reputation of our great state that is around this country and around the world,” Democratic Gov.-elect Roy Cooper said. He said he and his staff worked for more than a week on forging an agreement to repeal the law, talking with lawmakers from both par- ties, businesses, sports industry representatives and LGBT leaders. Associated Press Trump denounces attack, vows tough immigration plan PALM BEACH, Fla. — Denouncing the deadly attack on a Christmas market in Ger- many, President-elect Donald Trump renewed his vow to stop radical terror groups and appeared to suggest a willingness to move ahead with his campaign pledge to ban tempo- rarily Muslim immigrants from coming to the United States. Trump proposed the Muslim ban during the Republican primary campaign, drawing sharp criticism from both parties. During the gen- eral election, he shifted his rhetoric to focus on temporarily halting immigration from an unspecified list of countries with ties to ter- rorism, though he did not disavow the Muslim ban, which is still prominently displayed on his campaign website. The president-elect, when asked Wednes- day if the attack in Berlin would cause him to evaluate the proposed ban or a possible regis- try of Muslims in the United States, said “You know my plans. All along, I’ve been proven to be right, 100 percent correct.” A transition spokesman said later Wednes- day that Trump’s plans “might upset those with their heads stuck in the politically correct sand.” Eric Trump to stop raising charity money PALM BEACH, Fla. — One of Presi- dent-elect Donald Trump’s sons will stop directly raising money for his namesake foun- dation, saying he worries the donations could be perceived as buying access to his father. Eric Trump said Wednesday that it pained AP Photo/John Locher From left, Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. wait for the second presidential debate between Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nomi- nee Hillary Clinton in St. Louis in October. President-elect Donald Trump’s children may see his move to the White House as a way to raise money for their favorite causes. him to cease soliciting donations for his organi- zation, which he says has raised more than $15 million for terminally ill children with cancer. The foundation came under scrutiny recently after posting an online auction for coffee with his sister Ivanka. “Fighting childhood cancer is a cause that has been central to my life since I was 21 years old,” Eric Trump told the Associated Press. “It’s an extremely sad day when doing the right thing isn’t the right thing. That said, raising awareness for the cause will be a lifelong mission for me.” Trump, the younger of the president-elect’s two adult sons, has raised enough money over the last decade to fund a new intensive care unit at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, which provides free med- ical care for children. But criticism mounted after an invitation offered a hunting trip with Eric or his bother Donald Jr. in exchange for donations of $500,000 or $1 million to a new charity that Eric Trump supports. Both the coffee and hunting ventures have been scuttled. Divide stops effort to repeal NC’s LGBT law RALEIGH, N.C. — A supposedly bipartisan deal to repeal North Carolina’s anti-LGBT law collapsed when both sides balked and started blaming each other, likely meaning the state will remain a pariah shunned by corporations, entertainers and high-profile sporting events. After more than nine hours of backroom dis- cussions and sporadic public effort, Republi- can state legislators quit trying to repeal the law Underground music gets scrutiny after fire LOS ANGELES — The party is over at Pur- ple 33. About a week after 36 people died in a fire at an underground music party in Oakland, inspec- tors acting on a complaint discovered a make- shift nightclub and unpermitted living quarters concealed in a warehouse near Los Angeles International Airport. Authorities searching the drab, two-story building found an illegally constructed dance floor, paired with a bar and DJ booth. Haphaz- ard wiring snaked through walls, and an out- door staircase capped by a bamboo canopy was flagged as a fire threat. The unlicensed club was shut down, and operator Donald Cassel, who also lives there, was ordered to clear out. The closing of the space dubbed Purple 33 highlights growing friction between under- ground music venues that can be the only option for experimental or emerging perform- ers and their fans, and authorities who see disasters-in-waiting. Port:‘What are we going to do, sue ourselves?’ Continued from Page 1A “As far as the probes’ loca- tion, they’re in waters of the state,” said Madeline Ishi- kawa, a habitat restoration pro- gram manager with CREST, adding that the Port’s airport manager, Gary Kobes, was around during the installation. Knight said he is befuddled by the calls to expel CREST from Port property, adding the information CREST was going to provide would have been valuable to the hydrological study the Port is having done. “Because of this contro- versy, and because of the com- mission’s concerns and a vari- ety of other reasons, it was my choice to then remove the monitoring equipment because I could see that we were not going to be able to obtain the member of CREST, would not be suing itself. He asked the Port’s attorney, Tim Ramis, whether the Port would have liability if a project like Vera Slough flooded parts of Warrenton. “I don’t know the answer to that,” Ramis said. “I wouldn’t want to answer outside of executive session, if we’re going to talk about that.” information from this moni- toring,” Knight said. “There was nothing more complicated than that.” Pretrial testing? Hunsinger seemed to think CREST’s study at Vera Slough was more about self-preservation. “They’re out there test- ing because we may seek liti- gation against them over Vera Slough,” Hunsinger said of CREST’s tidal monitoring. CREST oversaw the instal- lation of fish-friendly tide gates at Vera Slough in the mid-2000s at the behest of the Port, which used the proj- ect as wetland mitigation cred- its to offset the environmen- tal impacts of repairs to a pier. Commissioners have ques- tioned whether the tide gates Vote by phone?

Campbell said there had been no official vote on the issue. Mushen said such a vote would have been illegal. “It’s already happened,” Mushen said of the removal of equipment, asking Hunsinger to go ahead, make a motion and get the issue over with. “I make a motion that we remove the people’s equip- ment that are doing a study on Vera Slough, because we have our own ongoing company that’s going to do the study,” Hunsinger said, after Fulton asked him to remove CREST’s name from the motion. Fulton said he didn’t want to make the issue about CREST, but about not having third parties doing hydrologi- cal studies when the Port had already contracted with a firm to do the same.
