5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, MAY 25, 2017 WORLD IN BRIEF Steele, who runs Cowhorn Vineyard & Garden in rural Jackson- ville with her husband. Associated Press GOP candidate charged with misdemeanor assault of reporter BOZEMAN, Mont. — Today’s nationally watched election for Montana’s sole congressional seat got a last-minute twist when the Republican candidate, Greg Gianforte, was charged with misde- meanor assault for grabbing a reporter by the neck and throwing him to the ground. Gallatin County Sheriff Brian Gootkin made the announcement shortly before midnight Wednesday in a written statement, about six hours after the attack on reporter Ben Jacobs of The Guardian. Gianforte would face a maximum $500 fine or 6 months in jail if convicted. The statement added that Jacobs’ injuries did not meet the legal definition of felony assault. Gianforte was in a private office preparing for an interview with Fox News when Jacobs came in without permission, campaign spokesman Shane Scanlon said. The Fox News crew watched in astonishment as, after Jacobs pressed him on the GOP health care bill, “Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him,” Fox News reporter Alicia Acuna wrote in an article . She added that Gianforte then began to punch Jacobs. In an audio recording posted by the Guardian, the reporter asks the congressional candidate about the GOP’s health care bill, which was just evaluated hours earlier by the Congressional Bud- get Office. Two more arrested in Manchester; UK blasts US on leaks MANCHESTER, England — British police arrested two more people and searched a new site in Manchester suspected of links to the concert bombing that left 22 people dead, as British author- ities complained bitterly today about investigation leaks by U.S. officials. British Prime Minister Theresa May is expected to raise the issue of the leaks with President Donald Trump in Brussels later. British officials are particularly angry that photos detailing evi- dence about the bomb used in the Manchester attack were pub- lished in The New York Times. British security and law enforcement officials were reviewing whether other sensitive information involving the investigation should be shared, according to one official who spoke on condi- tion of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the ongoing investigation. The official added that the intelligence-sharing agreement between Britain and the United States is built on trust and that leaks jeopardize active investigations. Greater Manchester Police condemned the leaks on behalf of the National Counter-Terrorism Policing units in a statement that suggested a severe rupture in trust between Britain and the United States, who have traditionally shared intelligence at the highest levels. GOP health bill: 23M more uninsured; sick risk higher costs WASHINGTON — Congress’ official budget analyst is pro- jecting that the House Republican health care bill would produce 23 million more uninsured people and costly, perhaps unaffordable Trump budget would allow sale of wild horses for slaughter AP Photo/Matt Volz Greg Gianforte, right, receives congratulations from a supporter in Helena, Mont., earlier this month. Montana voters are heading to the polls today, to decide a nation- ally watched congressional election amid uncertainty in Washington over President Donald Trump’s agenda and his handling of the country’s affairs. coverage for the seriously ill. Now Republicans in the Senate have to decide how to make their version different. The Congressional Budget Office report, issued Wednesday, also found that average premiums would fall compared with Pres- ident Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, a chief goal of many Republicans. But that would be partly because policies would typi- cally provide fewer benefits and sicker people would be priced out, it concluded. The results gave Democrats ammunition to attack the GOP drive to scuttle former President Barack Obama’s health care over- haul as damaging to patients. Three weeks after the House narrowly approved the measure with GOP-only votes and after several embarrassing setbacks, Republican senators said they’d move in their own direction and dismissed the report’s impact. In closed-door meetings aimed at crafting a measure, GOP sen- ators have discussed changing the House’s proposed Medicaid cuts and aiming health care tax credits more toward low earners, but they’ve reported little progress. Wine and weed? Some Oregon vineyards try hand at pot farming JACKSONVILLE — Bill and Barbara Steele moved to this sleepy corner of Oregon to start their own winery after successful, high-powered business careers. Now, more than a decade later and with award-winning wine to show for their hard work, they are adding a new crop: marijuana. Oregon’s legalization of recreational pot two years ago cre- ated room for entrepreneurial cross-pollination in this fertile region abutting California’s so-called Emerald Triangle, a well-known nirvana for outdoor weed cultivation. Recreational marijuana won’t be legal in California until next year, but a few miles north of the border in Oregon, a handful of winemakers are experimenting with pot in hopes of increasing their appeal among young consumers and in niche markets. “Baby boomers are drinking less. Millennials are coming into their time, economically, where in 2016 they were the fastest-grow- ing consumers of wine, both in dollars and volume,” said Barbara PALOMINO VALLEY, Nev. — President Donald Trump’s bud- get proposal calls for saving $10 million next year by selling wild horses captured throughout the West without the current require- ment that buyers guarantee the animals won’t be resold for slaughter. Wild horse advocates say the change would gut nearly a half-century of protection for wild horses — an icon of the Amer- ican West — and could send thousands of free-roaming mustangs to foreign slaughterhouses for processing as food. They say the Trump administration is kowtowing to livestock interests who don’t want the region’s estimated 59,000 mustangs competing for precious forage across more than 40,000 square miles of rangeland in 10 states managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The budget proposal marks the latest skirmish in the decades- old controversy pitting ranchers and rural communities against groups that want to protect the horses from Colorado to California. Over the past eight years, BLM’s wild horse budget has more than doubled — from $36.2 million in 2008 to $80.4 million in 2017. Trump’s budget anticipates the $10 million savings would come through a reduction in the cost of containing and feeding the ani- mals. The savings also would include cutbacks involving roundups and contraception programs. Timber company plans lawsuit over Elliott Forest SALEM — An Oregon timber company reportedly plans to sue its home state for $3.3 million after its plans to buy the Elliott State Forest recently fell through. The Coos Bay World reports attorneys for Lone Rock Tim- ber Management Company of Roseburg alerted the Oregon State Lands Department of their plans last week in an email. Lone Rock was the sole bidder for the 82,500-acre forest, which was on sale for $220 million as a way to meet its financial obliga- tion to produce funds for public education. The state land board reversed its decision to sell it earlier this month. Lone Rock’s attorneys say the company has suffered millions of dollars in out-of-pocket losses and lost business opportunity, and will seek tort claims for misrepresentation and negligence. Fastest growing US cities are in South; four of top five in Texas DALLAS — Ten of the 15 fastest-growing cities with popula- tions of 50,000 or more were spread across the South in 2016, with four of the top five found in Texas, according to new population estimates released today by the U.S. Census Bureau. Conroe, Texas, a northern Houston suburb, was the fast- est-growing of the 15, seeing a 7.8 percent increase from 2015 to 2016, a growth rate more than 11 times that of the nation. The rest of the top five fastest-growing large cities were Frisco, Texas, a northern Dallas suburb, with a 6.2 percent increase; McK- inney, Texas, another northern Dallas suburb, saw a 5.9 percent increase; Greenville, South Carolina, ran up a 5.8 percent increase; and Georgetown, Texas, a northern Austin suburb, had a 5.5 per- cent increase. Jail: Specializes in substance-abuse treatment, gang prevention Continued from Page 1A The Daily Astorian/File Photo Sgt. Dave Clarke, a corrections officer at the Clatsop County Jail, writes up inmate assessments in 2014. The Clatsop County Board of Commissioners has approved a study to look at moving the jail to Warrenton. DLR Group provided simi- lar services as part of a project to relocate most functions of the Sheriff’s Office to its loca- tion in Warrenton. The proj- ect was completed last sum- mer. It also looked at a possible expansion project at the exist- ing jail site in 2011. A bond measure the next year sought $14 million — funded by prop- erty taxes at a rate of 16 cents per $100,000 in property value — in funding to expand the jail, but it failed 56 percent to 44 percent. County officials have not had discussions about the future of the current jail site if T HURSDAY E VENING (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 PM also earn diplomas, take GED exams and learn trade skills through the facility’s educa- tional program, which has one of the highest graduation rates of youth prisons in the state.

The change would allow commissioners to establish a filing fee each year LISTINGS THE DAILY ASTORIAN A the relocation occurs, Moore said. Those discussions would be based on specific cost esti- mates from the study if the county decides to relocate the jail. Commissioner Scott Lee, the board’s chairman, said he spoke to Sheriff Tom Bergin and that both agreed the study would be beneficial. “This is the best opportu- nity that I’ve seen, and it’s the closest that we’ve gotten to solving this problem that has been a problem here for over 10 years,” Lee said. The youth facility special- izes in substance-abuse treat- ment, gang prevention and parole violators. Inmates can for board candidates. The char- ter currently sets the fee at $20. As is required every 10 years, the board appointed 10 citizens to a committee to review the charter. Chaired by former county commissioner and incoming Port of Astoria Commissioner Dirk Rohne, the committee held several meet- ings, took public comment and examined other charters in the state. Members of the commit- tee doubted whether the charter was the proper place to estab- lish a filing fee. County staff will schedule a public hearing that will deter- mine whether or not to place the recommended change on the November ballot.
