Oregon State Parks oficials originally said they didn’t think the break at the site frequented by tourists was caused by humans. But the video obtained by KATU-TV shows the visitors pushing the structure until it crumbled to the ground on August 29 at Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area. The sandstone pedestal was roughly 7 feet to 10 feet across and located in a fenced-off section of the park. David Kalas says he was helping a friend ilm part of the coast with his drone when they noticed about eight people trying to push the pedestal down. Kalas says he started recording with his cellphone when it began wobbling. The Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department said Monday it will review the incident and takes vandalism seriously. ATV driver killed, rider hurt in hit-and-run crash on dunes WINCHESTER BAY (AP) — The Douglas County Sheriff’s Ofice is still searching for three people involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash between two all-terrain vehicles on the dunes in Winchester Bay. The Register-Guard reports that the crash happened at 11 p.m. Friday and oficials were still searching Monday. Deputies say 30-year-old ATV driver Benjamin Wohl of Poulsbo, Washington, died in the crash. Wohl’s passenger, Breauna Ellison of Clackamas, Oregon, suffered serious injuries. Deputies say Wohl and Ellison were riding double on a Honda ATV when they were struck by a Polaris ATV. The Polaris’ occupants, two males and a female, stopped briely after the accident, and then left the scene irst on the vehicle and then on foot. Deputies used a K9 police dog unit but did not locate the suspects. Remote-operated cloud seeder being installed by Idaho Power CORTEZ, Colo. (AP) — A remote-operated cloud- seeding generator is being installed in the mountains above Dolores in an attempt to improve snowpack and runoff into McPhee Reservoir. Cloud seeders emit plumes of silver iodide into winter storm clouds to coax additional precipitation from clouds. There are about 30 cloud-seeding generators stretching in an arc from Telluride to Mancos to Pagosa Springs. Most of the units are 40-year-old designs and require an operator to turn them on and off when conditions warrant. The Cortez Journal reports that the Dolores Water Conservancy District has partnered with the Idaho Power Co. and Colorado Water Conservation Board on the project. Idaho Power has developed a more eficient remote-controlled generator that can be placed in locations higher in the mountains and closer to the clouds they seed.

In the latest series of court ilings from the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupier, Bundy writes that he remains committed to representing himself in court. At the same time, he says he’s been unable to create a defense for himself because he lacks access to critical documents. Bundy writes that standby counsel Lisa Ludwig was “thrust upon Defen- dant by the government, without the right of interview, contract, or compe- tence test. Defendant was denied his right to represent himself through standby counsel and to ile his own motions and his right to ind his own assistance which is competent to help him prepare a defense.” Bundy also asked U.S. District Court Judge Anna Brown for a 30-day exten- sion to ile pretrial motions because he hasn’t been able to view what he describes as the “United States Attorney’s Bundy ile.” Bundy and defendant Kenneth Medenbach nearly lost the ability to represent themselves in court after repeatedly violating court orders. In court, Bundy reluctantly assured Brown. “I will abide by the court’s rulings as long as the court rulings are in abid- ance of the law,” he said. In an unrelated iling late last week, the Utah-based attorneys for Ammon Bundy, Ryan’s brother, take issue with Assistant U.S. Attorney Ethan Knight’s assertion that the court has jurisdiction over the case because it involves federal charges. Mumford compared Knight’s “I will abide by the court’s rulings as long as the court rulings are in abid- ance of the law.” — Ryan Bundy, defendant response to that of a “irst- year law student” and recites what he calls a “memorable exchange” from “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.” That scene includes Humphrey Bogart’s character saying, “If you are the police, where are your badges?” Alfonso Bedoya responds, “Badges? We ain’t got no badges. We don’t need no badges. I don’t have to show you any stinking badges!” “The government’s response says, essentially, we don’t need to prove no stinking subject matter jurisdiction,” Mumford writes. Jury selection for the case of the Bundy brothers and six other occupiers is set to begin Wednesday. Secret railroad inspection data frustrates Spokane oficials SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Railroads appear to keep most data on their bridge inspections secret, even after a federal law allowed local oficials to request the infor- mation. Spokane City Council President Ben Stuckart said he requested copies of Union Paciic and BNSF Railway bridge inspections, hoping to learn more about the condi- tion of the infrastructure that supports trains carrying oil and other hazardous cargo through the city daily, reported The Spokesman Review. Several of the city’s bridges show signs of aging and others are regularly hit by semi-trucks, according to Stuckart. He said he was expecting an engineer’s analysis of the structures, but only got a one-page report for each bridge. “There was zero detail,” said Stuckart, who described the report as containing a check-marked box saying the bridge passed an inspection conducted by the railroad. Railroads’ bridge inspec- tion reports aren’t considered public documents, but a federal bill gave city and state oficials the right to request public versions of the inspec- tions last year. Leaders in Milwaukee pushed for the bill after Canadian Paciic initially refused to release inspection reports for a corroded bridge used by oil trains. There are about 77,000 private rail bridges nationally and eight federal employees who inspect them. Railroads are left to conduct their own inspections, with periodic audits by the Federal Railroad Administration. BNSF is responsible for most of the oil train trafic through Spokane. Spokes- woman Courtney Wallace says the company’s bridges are inspected at least twice a year, more than required by the federal government. “We will not run trains over, on or through any infrastructure that we think is unsafe,” Wallace said. Oil train safety has garnered attention in recent years. In 2013, 47 people were killed after a train derailed in Quebec. In June, the derailment of a Union-Pa- ciic Train in Oregon resulted in a 42,000-gallon oil spill. Rail safety advocates say the lack of access to reports, combined with railroads’ role in policing themselves, doesn’t inspire conidence. “It’s tough when we simply have to take the indus- try’s word,” said Jerry White Jr., who leads the nonproit Spokane Riverkeeper program, a citizen advocacy group for clean water.
