Newspaper Page TextPage 4A NATION East Oregonian Hurricane Newton heads toward resorts in Baja Mexico CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico (AP) — Hurricane Newton soaked Mexico’s western Paciﬁ c coast Mon- day and took aim at Baja California’s twin resorts of Los Cabos, where res- idents and ofﬁ cials braced for a pos- sible direct hit two years after they were slammed by a major storm. Newton’s maximum sustained winds increased to 75 mph, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Cen- ter in Miami, making it a Category 1 hurricane. The storm was centered about 215 miles southeast of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo and was moving northwest at 16 mph on a forecast path that would bring it near or over the area Tuesday morning. Some tourists were still walking the streets of Cabo San Lucas on Monday even as workers began nailing ply- wood over the windows of businesses. Los Cabos Mayor Arturo de la Rosa Escalante said storm shelters were being opened and low-lying ar- eas would be evacuated. “There is no need for mass buy- ing,” he said. “There is enough food and fuel for the next 20 days.” Police were stationed at shopping malls to guard against the kind of loot- ing that occurred after Hurricane Odile struck the area in 2014 as a Category 3 storm, with 125 mph winds. Earlier Monday, as a tropical storm, Newton dumped torrential rains that prompted some 100 people to evacuate their homes and damaged residences in Uruapan in the Pacif- ic coast state of Michoacan, the city government reported. Some roads were blocked by ﬂ ood- ing and mudslides in the neighboring state of Guerrero, where some peo- ple were evacuated by helicopter. No deaths were reported in either state. Hermine lingers offshore on East Coast PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Her- mine twisted hundreds of miles off- shore in the Atlantic Ocean on Mon- day, creating large waves in some southern New England beach waters that lured in surfers despite the rough surf and rip currents that kept most beachgoers away on the last day of the holiday weekend. “These are more seasoned surfers who live for the thrill of these waves,” said Kim Buttrick, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Taunton, Massachusetts. Hermine’s position Monday south- east of Nantucket created 20-foot waves and wind gusts of up to 50 kph about 55 miles southeast of the island, Buttrick said. Hermine was expected to stall over the water before weakening again. Even as Hermine weakens, wind gusts of 30 to 50 mph were expected across southern Rhode Island and south- eastern Massachusetts on Monday. Tuesday, September 6, 2016 Team studies ﬁ res this year in ’88 Yellowstone burn areas By BOB MOEN Associated Press AP Photo/Ed Andreski, File In this Aug. 24, 1988, fi le photo, Larry Walters, a U.S. Forest Ser- vice fi refi ghter from Higgins, Miss., watches the North Fork fi re burn in the Yellowstone National Forest. CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Nearly three decades ago, huge wildﬁ res burned about a third of Yellow- stone National Park. The park has seen wildﬁ res every year since, but the forests of new trees that grew in the scars of those 1988 ﬁ res have helped curb their size and in- tensity — until now. Several wildﬁ res ignited by lightning strikes this summer in areas of the 3,400-square-mile park that burned 28 years ago have grown substantially. The largest has burned about 60 square miles since it started Aug. 8 on Yellow- stone’s west side. “Largely up until this point, ﬁ re has not necessarily carried well through the ‘88 ﬁ re scars,” Yellowstone ﬁ re ecologist Becky Smith said. “I mean, it deﬁ nite- ly has before, but it usually takes very speciﬁ c conditions, like high winds or a very speciﬁ c fuel bed. But this year, we’re deﬁ nitely see- ing it burn much more readily in the ‘88 ﬁ re scars.” The park has called in a special federal team that studies ﬁ re be- havior to ﬁ nd out why. “We’re trying to use it as a good learning opportunity to try and re- ally narrow our focus on how and when the ‘88 ﬁ re scars will burn,” Smith said. The 1988 wildﬁ res burned 36 percent of the park. It’s the ﬁ rst time Yellowstone has used the special team’s ser- vices, she said. The 13-member team is study- ing two ﬁ res burning in the 1988 ﬁ re scar. It has deployed special heat-resistant equipment with sensors, cameras and other instru- ments to measure things like tem- perature and wind where the ﬁ res are burning. Once data are gathered from the instruments, the team will provide a summary of its ﬁ ndings to Yel- lowstone, said Carol Ewell, a team squad leader. She said it’s unclear when the summary will be com- pleted because the ﬁ res are still burning and research is still being gathered. In general, forest and park man- agers have gained a better under- standing of the role ﬁ res play in forest ecosystems, Ewell said. “We’ve had about 100 years of ﬁ re suppression-oriented ﬁ re management objectives, and now we’re sort of turning the corner — and we have been for almost 30 years now,” she said. They’re getting better at man- aging the risks of letting ﬁ res per- form their natural function in the ecosystem, Ewell said. For instance, ﬁ res renew vege- tation that provides better habitat for wildlife. “So wildlife might have a new crop of grass or bushes come through that are better for their food source; maybe it will create new snag trees for different bird species to live in, or squirrels,” she said. In Yellowstone, the 1988 ﬁ res resulted in new lodgepole pine forests and a more diverse nat- ural habitat, and this year’s ﬁ res will provide new beneﬁ ts as well, Ewell said. Cosby could get trial date at Tuesday evidence hearing By MARYCLAIRE DALE Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — The shape of Bill Cosby’s felony sex- ual assault trial could become clearer at a hearing Tuesday when his lawyers ﬁ ght to keep out key evidence, including nearly 1,000 pages of damaging testimony he gave in the accuser’s lawsuit. Cosby, 79, is charged with drugging and molesting a woman he mentored at Temple University in 2004. His lawyers will ask a subur- ban Philadelphia judge to suppress testimony from the 2005 lawsuit, when accuser Andrea Constand said she was left semi-conscious and Cosby said he was “not stopped.” And they want to bar jurors from hearing a taped phone call AP fi le photo Bill Cosby departs the Mont- gomery County Courthouse after a preliminary hearing, in Norristown, Pa. between Cosby and Constand’s mother, when the long-beloved ce- lebrity and morals champion fears he will sound like “a dirty old man with a young girl.” The criminal charges were ﬁ led in December, months after Cos- by’s testimony in the woman’s lawsuit was unsealed and a new prosecutor reopened the case. Cosby, in the deposition, ad- mitted to a series of extramarital affairs and described giving nu- merous women drugs and alcohol before what he called romantic “rendezvous.” Some were in their teens or early 20s. Defense lawyers argue that Cosby was promised he would never be charged, so he felt free to testify in Constand’s lawsuit. However, a judge this year found he was never granted immunity. The comedian known as Amer- ica’s Dad for the top-rated “The Cosby Show” — which captured the amusing travails of fatherhood and painted a warm picture of black family life during its 1984 to 1992 run — now ﬁ nds himself spending his time and fortune de- fending tawdry accusations. Doz- ens of women who accuse him of similar conduct say his arrest was a long time coming. Cosby’s defenders instead sug- gest he is a wealthy target for the many women he met during ﬁ ve decades as an A-list celebrity. “None of us will ever want to be in the position of attacking a victim. But the question should be asked — who is the victim?” his wife, Camille, asked as more ac- cusers came forward in 2014. In his deposition, Cosby said he developed a crush on Constand “probably the ﬁ rst time I saw her” at Temple’s arena. He was a uni- versity trustee while she managed the women’s basketball team. When she visited his home one night in early 2004 to discuss a career change, Cosby found her stressed and gave her three un- marked pills. Constand thought it was an herbal product. Cosby later said it was Benadryl, though Con- stand’s lawyer doesn’t buy that. RV PACKET STUFFING PARTY! 198 0 36 years 201 249 S.
