McCain says ‘I’ll be back soon’
as he battles brain cancer
WASHINGTON — Battling brain cancer, Sen. John McCain
today promised to return to work, making a good-natured dig at his
Republican and Democratic colleagues who were jolted by news
of the six-term lawmaker’s diagnosis.
“I greatly appreciate the outpouring of support — unfortu-
nately for my sparring partners in Congress, I’ll be back soon, so
stand-by!” McCain said in a tweet.
The 80-year-old McCain, the GOP’s presidential nominee in
2008, was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive type of
brain cancer, according to doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix,
who had removed a blood clot above his left eye last Friday.
“Subsequent tissue pathology revealed that a primary brain
tumor known as a glioblastoma was associated with the blood
clot,” his office said in a statement late Wednesday.
The senator and his family are considering further treatment,
including chemotherapy and radiation, as he recuperates at his
home in Arizona.
According to the American Brain Tumor Association, more
than 12,000 people a year are diagnosed with glioblastoma, the
same type of tumor that struck McCain’s close Democratic col-

Clatsop Community College is deciding what to do with the
Performing Arts Center and the adjacent Josie Peper Building.
no longer own the center.
“Our understanding is the
college administration wants
to see the PAC in community
hands,” Larsen said.
She said the housing pos-
sibilities mentioned to her
seemed like they would take
more than just the center’s
property.
The offer on the center
last year was part of a larger
housing project encompass-
ing most of the city block,
much of which is owned by
the Lum family and part of a
former auto dealership. The
developer’s representatives
stated an interest in keep-
ing the center a “community
center,” albeit without elab-
oration. Breitmeyer said the
college has not reached out
to the Lum family regard-
ing this most recent housing
possibility.
At the retreat, Brietmeyer
said tearing the church down
to build a new performance
space within a housing com-
plex could be more cost-ef-
fective. The site could be too
small to attract a developer
for a housing complex.
Larsen said she doesn’t
think much of tearing down
the historic building, which
also has a recently refur-

think that would cause a hue
and cry” in the community,
she said.

Larsen said the group is
getting closer to forming a
nonprofit and is looking to
take on more of the building’s
maintenance.
“I think you can do a lot
with volunteers and grants,”
she said of fixing the build-
ing’s larger issues, adding
that having the college as
owner helps when applying
for restoration grants.
At the board retreat, Zahn
reiterated that the building
needs major upgrades and
lacks basic safety features,
such as sprinklers in the main
auditorium. She said the Part-
ners are aware that if anything
major, such as the building’s
heating and ventilation sys-
tem, were to fail, the college
would not be able to fix it.
Board members said
they’d like to see an analy-
sis of the supply and demand
of performance spaces in
the community, along with a
timeline for when they will
decide which direction to go
on the center. The board next
meets in September.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s extraordinary
public denouncement of Attorney General Jeff Sessions reflected
a long-simmering frustration with one of his staunchest allies, but
was not a calculated attempt to force Sessions from the Cabinet,
according to two Trump advisers.
For weeks, the president has seethed about Sessions’ decision to
recuse himself from the federal investigation into whether Trump’s
campaign coordinated with Russia during last year’s election. On
Wednesday, Trump told The New York Times that he would never
have appointed Sessions to the post if he had known the former
Alabama senator would make that decision.
“Sessions should have never recused himself,” Trump told the
paper, “And if he was going to recuse himself he should have told
me before he took the job and I would have picked somebody
else.”

Trump’s critique of Sessions
reflects long-held frustrations
HONOLULU — Groups have filed a human-rights complaint
that aims to jump-start an investigation into conditions among for-
eign workers in Hawaii’s commercial fishing industry.
Turtle Island Restoration Network told The Associated Press
on Wednesday that they filed the complaint last week with the
Inter-American Human Rights Commission. The filing asks the
panel to determine the responsibility of the U.S. for human rights
violations against foreign workers in Hawaii’s longline fishing
fleet.
An Associated Press investigation into the seafood industry
revealed that hundreds of men are confined to Hawaii boats that
operate due to a federal loophole that exempts the foreign fisher-
men from most basic labor protections. Many come from impov-
erished Southeast Asian and Pacific nations to take the jobs, which
can pay as little as 70 cents an hour.
The fleet catches $110 million worth of luxury seafood annually.
The petition, which the Pacific Alliance to Stop Slavery and
Ocean Defenders Alliance joined, was filed on July 13 with the
College: Lack of housing a challenge
for attracting international students
During the college board’s
annual retreat Tuesday, Breit-
meyer said he reached out to
other institutions about poten-
tial partnerships on housing.
One example he gave was
Community College of Phila-
delphia, which partnered with
a developer to build a mix of
student and market-rate hous-
ing to attract international
students paying out-of-state
tuition on a piece of property
near campus. Former college
President Lawrence Galizio
had pointed to a lack of hous-
ing as a challenge in attract-
ing international students.
Breitmeyer said the col-
lege could negotiate for cer-
tain amenities in the devel-
opment, such as the number
of student housing units and
a performing arts space oper-
ated by the Partners.
“I think it’s important to
have something like the PAC,
so keeping that would be the
best option,” he said.
The college would lease
the land long term to a pri-
vate entity acting as landlord.
Another possibility is turn-
ing the building over to the
