8A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2017 WORLD IN BRIEF Associated Press Trump administration to terminate Obama’s climate plan Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian Historian John Goodenberger shows some of the items in the Astoria Library’s special collection on Sunday during the 50th anniversary celebration. Library: Renovation work expected to begin in 2019 LaMear, a former librar- ian, referenced a quote attributed to Roman politi- cian and scholar Marcus Tul- lius Cicero: “A room without books is like a body without a soul.” “I’d like to add my own amendment to that by saying a city with a library is a com- munity with both a generous heart and soul,” she said. Library Director Jimmy Pearson also announced Sun- day that, starting this week, the library will be open on Mondays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. To gain these extra hours, the library will close one hour early on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, at 6 p.m. instead of the usual 7 p.m. The library will still be closed on Sundays. Continued from Page 1A “We’re excited to kick off our campaign to renovate this building and make it rel- evant to the present and the future, so that our children and grandchildren can enjoy the benefi ts of a fi ne public library.” The city has already set aside $1.6 million for renova- tion work, while the nonprofi t l ibrary f oundation has set a goal of raising an additional $3.5 million. A bake sale organized by the Astor Place retirement community raised just over $750 in September. The entire renovation proj- ect will cost an estimated $5 million. Work is expected to begin in 2019 and wrap in 2020. HAZARD, Ky. — The head of the Environmental Protection Agency said Monday that he will sign a new rule overriding the Clean Power Plan, an Obama-era effort to limit carbon emissions from coal-fi red power plants. “The war on coal is over,” EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt declared in the coal mining state of Kentucky. For Pruitt, getting rid of the Clean Power Plan will mark the culmination of a long fi ght he began as the elected attorney gen- eral of Oklahoma. Pruitt was among about two-dozen attorney generals who sued to stop President Barack Obama’s push to limit carbon emissions. Closely tied to the oil and gas industry in his home state, Pruitt rejects the consensus of scientists that man-man emissions from burning fossil fuels are the primary driver of global cli- mate change. President Donald Trump, who appointed Pruitt and shares his skepticism of established climate science, promised to kill the Clean Power Plan during the 2016 campaign as part of his broader pledge to revive the nation’s struggling coal mines. Even so, the plan helped drive a recent wave of retirements of coal-fi red plants, which also are being squeezed by lower costs for natural gas and renewable power, as well as state mandates promoting energy conservation. The withdrawal of the Clean Power Plan is the latest in a series of moves by Trump and Pruitt to dismantle Obama’s leg- acy on fi ghting climate change, including the delay or roll back of rules limiting levels of toxic pollution in smokestack emis- sions and wastewater discharges from coal-burning power plants. The president announced earlier this year that he will pull the United States out of the landmark Paris climate agreement. Nearly 200 countries have committed to combat global warming by reducing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that con- tribute to global warming. Bosnian court acquits ex-commander of war crimes SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Bosnia’s war crimes court on Monday acquitted the wartime commander of Srebren- ica, who was accused of committing atrocities against Serbs during the 1992-95 Balkan confl ict. The acquittal of Naser Oric immediately prompted anger from Serbian leaders, with Serbian Defense Minister Aleksandar Vulin saying the court ruling “threatens security, trust and reconcilia- tion in the whole of the Balkans.” Oric was accused of war crimes against three Serb prisoners of war who were slain in villages around the Bosnian town of Srebrenica in the early days of the confl ict. A panel of judges pre- siding over the trial ruled Monday the prosecution did not present evidence proving the case against Oric. Oric had previously been tried by a U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague, where he was also acquitted in 2008. Oric is seen as a hero by many Muslim Bosnians for his role in defending Srebrenica, where Serb forces massacred some 8,000 Muslim men and boys in 1995. The Srebrenica massacre, the worst single atrocity in Europe since World War II, is the only episode of Bosnia’s war to be defi ned as genocide by two U.N. courts. Serbs continue to claim the 1995 Srebrenica slaughter was an act of revenge by uncontrolled troops because they say that sol- diers under Oric’s command killed thousands of Serbs in the vil- lages surrounding the eastern town. Nate marches across East Coast, dumping heavy rains BILOXI, Miss. — Nate slogged its way across the East Coast on Monday, dumping heavy rains and bringing gusty winds to inland states as a tropical depression, a day after Hurricane Nate brought a burst of fl ooding and power outages to the Gulf Coast. Nate spared the region the kind of catastrophic damage left by a series of hurricanes that hit the southern U.S. and Caribbean in recent weeks. Nate — the fi rst hurricane to make landfall in Mississippi since Katrina in 2005 — quickly lost strength Sunday, with its winds diminishing to a tropical depression as it pushed northward into Alabama and Georgia with heavy rain. It was a Category 1 hurricane when it came ashore outside Biloxi early Sunday, its second landfall after initially hitting southeastern Louisiana on Saturday evening. The storm surge from the Mississippi Sound littered Biloxi’s main beachfront highway with debris and fl ooded a casino’s lobby and parking structure overnight.
