Warrenton man charged with sex abuse
The Daily Astorian
A Warrenton man has been
arrested for crimes involving the
sexual abuse of a local teenager .
Derek Neil Mendenhall,
24, was arrested by Clatsop
County Sheriff’s Offi ce depu-
ties Wednesday in Warrenton.
He has been charged with sex
abuse, contributing to the sex-
ual delinquency of a minor
and sexual misconduct.
The S heriff’s O ffi ce said it
received a report in Novem-
ber from a mother who said
her son had inappropriate
contact with Mendenhall. He
had been a guest in the home
the previous month.
An investigation revealed
that the abuse allegedly began
in 2015 when the teenager
was 17 years old. Mendenhall

SPOKANE, Wash. — Envi-
ronmental and fi shing groups
sued the federal government on
Thursday as they seek cooler
water for salmon in the Colum-
bia River system.
The lawsuit was fi led in fed-
eral court in Seattle against the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency and Scott Pruitt, Presi-
dent Donald Trump’s choice to
lead the agency.
“We need a plan to deal with
climate change and rising water
temperatures in the Columbia,
or we may be telling our kids
stories about salmon instead
of teaching them to fi sh,” said
Brett VandenHeuvel, exec-
utive director of Columbia
Riverkeeper.
The lawsuit was fi led by
Columbia Riverkeeper, Snake
River Waterkeeper, Idaho Riv-
ers United, Pacifi c Coast Fed-
eration of Fishermen’s Asso-
ciations, and the Institute for
Fisheries Resources.
It seeks to compel the EPA
to create temperature limits for
the river system that would keep
rivers cool enough to support
salmon and steelhead runs in
the face of global warming, the
groups said.
Giant dams on the Columbia
and Snake rivers create large,
slow-moving reservoirs that
cause water temperatures to rise
in summer months. Warm tem-
peratures pose signifi cant threats
to salmon and steelhead.
The groups contend that
in 2015, warm water killed
roughly 250,000 adult sockeye
salmon migrating up the rivers
toward spawning grounds.
“Water temperatures in the
Columbia mean life or death
to salmon,” said Glen Spain,
a director of the Pacifi c Coast
Federation of Fishermen’s
Associations. “Our members’
livelihoods depend on healthy
salmon runs.”
“It’s simply unaccept-
able to let hot water kill oth-
erwise-healthy adult salmon
before they can spawn,” Spain
said.
The impact of Columbia
River basin dams on fi sh runs in
the Pacifi c Northwest has been
an issue for decades.
A federal judge ruled last
May that the U.S. govern-
ment hasn’t done enough to
improve Northwest salmon runs
and ordered an environmental
impact statement that’s due out
in 2021, urging offi cials to con-
sider removing four big dams on
the Snake River.
The review process is being
conducted under the National
Environmental Policy Act, or
NEPA, an umbrella law that
covers the Endangered Species
Act. Thirteen species of salmon
and steelhead on the Colum-
bia and Snake rivers have been
listed as federally protected over
the past 25 years.
The Snake River dams are
Ice Harbor, Lower Monumental,
Little Goose and Lower Gran-
ite, and are located between the
Tri-Cities and Pullman. They’re
the four lowest dams on the
1,000-mile-long Snake River,
itself a tributary to the Colum-
bia River. They were built in the
1960s and 1970s.
Advocates for the dams
say they provide many bene-
fi ts, including electricity, irriga-
tion water and barge traffi c, and
should not be removed.
Oregon joins Washington’s travel ban lawsuit
By PARIS ACHEN
Capital Bureau
SALEM — The Oregon
Department of Justice has fi led
court papers seeking to join
Washington’s lawsuit challeng-
ing President Donald Trump’s
temporary travel ban on citizens
from seven predominantly Mus-
lim countries.
“The executive order has
caused — and threatens to fur-
ther cause — harm to Oregon
and its residents, employers,
agencies, educational institu-
tions, health care system and
economy. Moreover, the exec-
utive order forces Oregon to
violate its own laws against
discrimination, frustrating Ore-
gon’s sovereign interest in pro-
viding a welcoming home to
people from all over the world,”
according to the J ustice D epart-
ment’s motion.
State offi cials argued that the
travel ban could cause a short-
age of physicians and medical
residents, drain international tui-
tion dollars from universities
and strip the state’s technology
industry of talent. Out of Ore-
gon’s $92 billion investment
portfolio, about $19 million
comes from technology com-
panies, which have expressed
alarm about the impact the ban
will have on their highly-skilled
workers who often come from
overseas.
“That disruption also affects
Oregon as a shareholder,” State
Treasurer Tobias Read wrote in
a declaration to the court.

University’s 3,529 international

The ban affects 59 of Portland
State University’s more than
1,900 international students.
International students contrib-
uted about 13 percent of Port-
land State’s net tuition and fees
for 2015-16. “Their tuition reve-
nue will be lost if they are unable
to travel to Oregon,” according
to the lawsuit.
The ban would threaten the
state’s ability to attract and retain
physicians to practice in rural
and underserved areas through
the J-1 visa program. Likewise,
Oregon Health & Science Uni-
versity offi cials reported the ban
affects six of their medical res-
idents and the ability to replace
them is unlikely.
