Low 27° in West Yellowstone, Mont. AP Photo/Don Ryan Protesters began their blockade Wednesday. Several environmental groups joined Greenpeace’s effort. On Thursday, activists in about 50 kayaks milled beneath the bridge as other protesters dangled. One of the kayak protesters, Leah Rothlein, borrowed her mother’s kayak and headed onto the river. “It’s pretty cool,” the 26-year-old said after coming ashore. “I was in the water for four hours.” A crowd of a few hundred people watched from the shore and from a wooden dock as authorities began to move against protesters on the water and dangling 10s National Summary: The Northeast and mid-Atlantic will be dry, less humid but still warm today as another round of locally heavy thunderstorms rattle the Desert Southwest. Record-challenging heat will bake the Northwest. The Royal Dutch Shell PLC icebreaker Fennica heads up the Willamette River under protesters hanging from the St. Johns Bridge in Portland Thursday. At the court hearing Thursday in Anchorage, Gleason said the hourly ¿ne against Greenpeace would increase over the next few days unless the blockade was lifted. It would have jumped to 5,000 an hour Friday and 10,000 an hour Sunday. The Fennica was damaged earlier this month in the Aleu- tian Islands when it struck an underwater obstruction, tearing a gash in its hull. Environmentalists hoped to delay the ship long enough for winter weather to prevent Shell from drilling until 2016. By that time, they hoped the Obama administration would have a change of heart on the issue. 0s showers t-storms Arctic-bound ship leaves Portland after oil drilling protest PORTLAND (AP) — A Royal Dutch Shell icebreaker that was the target of environmental protesters left Portland, Oregon, on Thursday bound for an Arctic drilling operation after a tense standoff ended with kayakers and activists who had dangled from a bridge to block its path. The Fennica left dry dock and made its way down the Willamette River toward the Paci¿c Ocean soon after authorities forced the demon- strators from the river and the St. Johns Bridge. Several protesters in kayaks moved toward the center of the river as the ship began its trip, but author- ities in boats and personal watercraft cleared a narrow pathway for the Fennica. Authorities also jumped into the water to physically remove some protesters who left their kayaks. Sgt. Pete Simpson, a Portland police spokesman, said “a number of people” were detained and it was still being determined whether any would face charges. Simpson earlier said safety was the main priority as authorities forced protesters from the area. “This is, obviously, a very unique situation,” he said. The Fennica arrived in Portland for repairs last week. It attempted to leave earlier Thursday but turned around when activists dangling from the bridge refused to let it pass. The icebreaker is a key part of Shell’s exploration and spill-response plan off Alaska’s northwest coast. It protects Shell’s Àeet from ice and carries equipment that can stop gushing oil. Authorities moved in hours after a federal judge in Alaska ordered Greenpeace 8SA to pay a ¿ne of 2,500 for every hour that protesters dangled from the bridge to block the ship. In May, U.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason granted Shell’s request that activists protesting its Arctic drilling plans be ordered to stay away from company vessels and beyond buffers. -0s from the ropes hanging from the bridge above. BRIEFLY USGS awards $4M to boost earthquake early warning systems SEATTLE (AP) — The U.S. Geological Survey has awarded 4 million to four universities in the Paci¿c Northwest and California to boost the development of earthquake early warning systems. The University of Washington, the University of Oregon, the California Institute of Technology and the University of California, Berkeley, received the awards, which were announced Thursday. The goal is to improve and test a coast-wide system designed to detect potentially damaging earthquakes and alert people seconds before severe ground shaking takes place. The USGS also spent an additional 1 million on 150 new and upgraded sensors to improve the speed and reliability of the warnings. 8 states probe possible serial killer ties CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Authorities say police in at least eight states are investigating unsolved cases that may be linked to an Oregon man who was recently killed by an escort in West Virginia. Police say the prostitute was attacked by 45-year-old Neal Falls on July 18 and she grabbed his gun and fatally shot him as he choked her. Authorities in Nevada, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, New York, Texas, Oregon and California are comparing similar cases, some involving dead or missing prostitutes. Cooper says authorities in at least 20 states had encountered Falls and run his license plate. Corrections The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors.
