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.

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

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

In 2005, an older tide gate at Vera Slough near the Port
of Astoria’s Astoria Regional Airport was replaced with a
newer model that created 16 additional acres of wetland

port by 2 feet.

asked Hunsinger. “We’re part
of that organization.”
Fulton said the Port, as a
Hunsinger claimed that
nine or 10 days ago, after the
discovery of CREST’s study at
Vera Slough, a poll of the five
commissioners was conducted
by phone, in which they jointly
decided to have CREST’s
equipment removed.
“The poll was made by the
chairman of this commission,”
Hunsinger said of Mushen.
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.
