WORLD IN BRIEF
because of the larger conversation about gender identity going on
around the country.
“For more than 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America, along
with schools, youth sports and other youth organizations, have ulti-
mately deferred to the information on an individual’s birth certifi-
cate to determine eligibility for our single-gender programs,” the
statement said. “However, that approach is no longer sufficient as
communities and state laws are interpreting gender identity differ-
ently, and these laws vary widely from state to state.”

Mosque shooting suspect in
Canada known for far-right views
QUEBEC CITY — The French Canadian university student
charged with killing six Muslim men during evening prayers at a
mosque was known for far-right, nationalist views and his support
of the French rightist party led by Marine Le Pen.
Alexandre Bissonnette was charged Monday with six counts of
first-degree murder and five counts of attempted murder over the
shooting rampage at a Quebec City mosque that Canada’s prime
minister called an act of terrorism against Muslims.
Bissonnette made a brief court appearance and did not enter a
plea in the attack staged during evening prayers Sunday. Wearing
a white prisoner jump suit, his hands and feet shackled, he stared
down at the floor and fidgeted, but did not speak.
The 27-year-old suspect, who has espoused support for Le
Pen and U.S. President Donald Trump on his Facebook page, was
known to those who monitor extremist groups in Quebec, said
François Deschamps, an official with a refugee advocacy group.
“It’s with pain and anger that we learn the identity of terrorist
Alexandre Bissonnette, unfortunately known to many activists in
Quebec for taking nationalist, pro-Le Pen and anti-feminist posi-
tions at Laval University and on social media,” Deschamps wrote
on the Facebook page of the group, Bienvenues aux Refugiés, or
Welcome to Refugees.
Boy Scouts will allow transgender

Cub Scouts watch a race during the second annual World
Championship Pinewood Derby in New York’s Times
Square in June. The Boy Scouts of America announced
Monda that it will allow transgender children who identify
as boys to enroll in its boys only programs.
der said she has mixed emotions after the organization announced
it will allow transgender children who identify as boys to enroll in
its boys-only programs.
The Boy Scouts of America made the announcement Monday.
The organization said it made the decision to begin basing
enrollment in its boys-only programs on the gender a child or par-
ent lists on the application to become a scout. The Boy Scouts had
previously held a policy that relied on the gender listed on a child’s
birth certificate for those programs.
The organization’s leadership considered Joe Maldonado’s case
in Secaucus, New Jersey. The 8-year-old had been asked to leave
his Scout troop after parents and leaders found out he is transgen-
der. But the statement issued Monday said the change was made
JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesia’s tsunami detection system,
made up of seafloor sensors that communicate with transmitting
buoys on the surface, has been rendered useless by vandals and lack
of funding. Now Indonesian and U.S. scientists say they’ve devel-
oped a way to dispense with the expensive buoys and possibly add
crucial extra minutes of warning for vulnerable coastal cities.
The prototype, nearly four years in the making, is designed for
detection of so-called near-field tsunamis and has been tested off
Padang on the western coast of Sumatra. It awaits a decision on
government funding to connect it to disaster agencies on land.
A tsunami triggered by a Dec. 26, 2004 earthquake in the Indian
Ocean that killed or left missing nearly 230,000 people, a large
share in Indonesia, raised the urgency of ensuring communities
have the fastest possible warnings.
But when a sizeable earthquake struck near the Mentawai
islands 170 kilometers (106 miles) from Padang in March last year,
none of the buoys in the area meant to transmit tsunami warnings
were working. A disaster official said all of Indonesia’s 22 buoys,
which cost several hundred thousand dollars each and are expen-
sive to operate, were inoperable because of vandalism by boat
crews or a lack of funds for maintenance.
Lawsuit: For years, making hash oil was unregulated
Continued from Page 1A
He says the facility lacked
adequate ventilation and exit
routes, automatic sprinklers
and gas detectors among other
safety features.
According to the suit,
he was not given fire-retar-
dant clothing or other pro-
tective equipment and was
not warned about the dangers
posed by butane.
Magley claims that Jason
Oei, one of those named in
the suit, consumed cannabis
oil in a technique called “dab-
bing” while William “Chris”
West handled butane. Magley
alleges Oei’s dabbing caused
the explosion, which rocked
the building on Oct. 19. West,
too, was injured in the blast.
Amy Margolis, a lawyer
for the pair, declined to com-
ment Monday.
Risky business
Making hash oil using
butane can be dangerous. For
years, the activity was unreg-
ulated and underground, car-
ried out by home producers
who often misunderstand the
risks. The gas, a cheap and
flammable solvent, is used to
extract tetrahydrocannabinol,
or THC, from marijuana flow-
ers and leaves.
It can quickly fill an
enclosed space, where some-
thing as ordinary as a pilot
light can ignite a fireball.
The dangers led to a new
state law that makes unli-
censed production of mari-
juana extracts a felony. The
provision is intended to tar-
get homemade butane hash
oil operations and not com-
mercial operations, which are
regulated by the state.
Clatsop County authorities
launched a criminal investiga-
tion into the explosion. That
inquiry is pending. An official
with Oregon Occupational
Safety and Health Admin-
istration, an agency whose
mission is worker safety and
health, said Monday that its
investigation also is ongoing.
License application
Meanwhile, Oei and West
are have applied for licenses
to produce and process mar-
ijuana for the recreational
market, said Mark Pettinger,
a spokesman of the Oregon
Liquor Control Commission.
Pettinger said the agency
is not processing the appli-
cation until outside agen-
cies complete their investiga-
tions. The outcome of those
investigations could factor
into whether the state issues a
license, he said.
Magley’s lawyer, Jonah
Flynn, of Atlanta, Georgia,
said Monday that his client
suffered burns on his upper
torso and that emergency
workers arrived to find his
skin “falling off.”
The episode has caused
Magley lasting trauma, his
lawyer said.
“He’s having a hard time,”
he said.
Flynn
said
Astoria
Trading Co. is the parent com-
pany of Higher Level Con-
centrates, which at the time
of the blast was on the Ore-
gon Health Authority’s list
of state-authorized marijuana
processors.
Flynn, a personal injury
lawyer, also represented
a Gresham man severely
burned in a 2013 butane hash
oil blast that killed his friend.
That suit has been “resolved”
and dismissed, Flynn said,
adding that the terms of the
resolution are confidential.

drugs or alcohol.
After they detox, patients
can move into Pathways — a
16-bed residential treatment
program upstairs — or other
residential or outpatient ther-
apy, but there is no requirement.
Many residential treatment pro-
grams only accept private health
insurance, often have high out-
of-pocket costs, and do not offer
a detox-only option.
“It’s meeting the client
where they’re at,” said Kim
Krause, the administrator at
Pathways. “A client may not be
ready to enter residential. They
may think that they just need to
be detoxed and then they’ll be
stable and then they’ll be able
to re-engage at home and in an
outpatient facility.”
Krause said some patients
may come into detox two or

“Anybody in recovery

bia Community Mental Health.
“And detox is an important
part of that recovery for some
people.”
