SEATTLE — A lawsuit filed by
young climate activists who contend
the U.S. government is failing to
protect them from the harmful effects
of greenhouse gas emissions can move
forward, a federal judge in Oregon
ruled Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken
in Eugene denied motions by the
federal government and trade groups
representing big energy companies to
dismiss the lawsuit. They had argued
that lawmakers and federal agencies,
not by the court, should determine
climate change policy.
The plaintiffs, including 21 youths
and climate scientist James Hansen,
allege the federal government has
known for decades that carbon
pollution causes climate change but
has failed to curb greenhouse gas
emissions.
They argue that the federal
government’s actions violate their
constitutional rights to life, liberty,
and property, and the government has
violated its obligation to hold certain
natural resources in trust for future
generations.
Julia Olson, lead attorney for the
plaintiffs, called the judge’s ruling
significant and said the young activists
are preparing for trial.
The federal case is among a series
of similar lawsuits, including one
in Seattle, filed by youth plaintiffs
working with Our Children’s Trust, a
nonprofit environmental group based
in Eugene.
“This case is the most significant in
terms of the defendants. It’s the United
States, which is most responsible for
causing climate change and the country
best positioned to lead the world away
from fossil fuels,” said Olson, who is
the group’s executive director.
The U.S. government as well as
the National Association of Manu-
facturers, the American Fuel &
Petrochemical Manufacturers and the
House members
send letter opposing
dam breaching
American Petroleum Institute, which
intervened in the case, asked that the
case be thrown out.
After U.S. Magistrate Judge
Thomas Coffin denied their motions
to dismiss, the government and trade
groups filed objections. The case then
went before Aiken, who on Thursday
adopted Coffin’s recommendations
and findings, allowing the case to
proceed.
In her ruling, Aiken wrote that “this
action is of a different order than the
typical environmental case” and she
also noted that “a deep resistance to
change runs through defendants’ and
intervenors’ arguments for dismissal.”
The plaintiffs are seeking a court
order that requires the government
to create a plan to dramatically slash
greenhouse gas emissions released by
the burning of fossil fuels.
A message to the U.S. Department
of Justice in Washington, D.C., and
lawyers representing the trade associ-
ations were not immediately returned.
SPOKANE, Wash.
(AP) — U.S. Rep. Dan
Newhouse and numerous
other Republican
lawmakers have sent a
letter opposing the removal
of four dams on the Snake
River to restore wild runs
of salmon.
The lawmakers sent
the letter on Thursday
to members of the
House Appropriations
Committee, asking that
money be retained in the
federal budget to operate
the dams. Newhouse
represents central
Washington.
The House in previous
years adopted language
that prohibits and use of
federal funds to remove
any federally-owned or
Trump protests
close freeways in
Portland
PORTLAND (AP) —
Officials say demonstrators
against President-elect
Donald Trump in Portland
have shut down area
freeways.
Hundreds showed up to
Pioneer Courthouse Square
in the downtown area
Thursday evening.
Live Music
Oregon Department of
Transportation officials said
portions of Interstate 5 and
Interstate 84 were closed
after protesters began
marching. Officials urged
travelers to use caution
and watch for people in
unexpected places on roads.
Portland Police tweeted
to those stuck in traffic near
demonstrations to stay in
their vehicles, remain calm
and refrain from engaging
people as they pass by.
Portland Mayor Charlie
Hales said earlier in the day
he supports the peaceful
protest of people exercising
their Constitutional rights,
but cautioned that walking
on to freeways and blocking
light rail lines is dangerous
for everyone involved.
KOIN-TV reports one
protester was arrested
Wednesday for throwing
a Molotov cocktail into a
bonfire.

Students accused
of making threats
at Trump rally
SALEM (AP) — Two
students from Silverton
High School have
been suspended after a
pro-Trump demonstration.
The Statesman Journal
reports that more than 30
students gathered Tuesday
to support Donald Trump.
Students waived Trump
signs, American flags and at
least one Confederate flag.
Principal Justin
Lieuallen says the students
were expressing their
opinions, though in a couple
incidents were students
overstepped their bounds.
Witnesses say the
students said “pack your
bags, you’re leaving
tomorrow” and “tell
your family goodbye” to
Hispanic students.

Democrats still control
Ore. legislature; lose a seat
By ANDREW SELSKY
Associated Press
SALEM — Republicans,
by the thinnest of margins,
managed to grab one seat
from the Democrats in the
Oregon Senate, while the
ratio remained the same in
the state House.
Results from the 2016
general election enable
Democrats to still dominate
the Legislature, though
they are one seat short of
a supermajority in each
chamber that would have
enabled them to pass laws
more easily.
The Democrats’ one-seat
loss in the Senate, which also
cost the party its superma-
jority there, was of the seat
previously occupied by Sen.
Alan Bates, who died of an
apparent heart attack Aug. 5
while on a fishing trip.
Retired Southern Oregon
University
administrator
Kevin Talbert is filling in
the remainder of the term
until January of the seat
representing the 3rd District
in southwestern Oregon.
Former Ashland mayor
and car dealership owner
Alan DeBoer, a Republican,
gets to go to the Oregon
State Capitol for the next
legislative session by edging
out Democratic candidate
Tonia Moro by only 1
percent, or 535 votes.
“It’s going to be a
challenge going up there,”
DeBoer was quoted as
saying on KOBI, a TV
channel in Medford. “We’ll
be in the minority, and the
Democrats will still have
control. But I’m used to that,
working across party lines,
and I think we can accom-
plish some things.”
The loss of Bates’ former
seat to the Republicans
dropped the Democrats’
control of the Senate from
18-12 to 17-13 seats. The
Democrats maintained their
35-25 edge in the House,
one short of a supermajority
there.
Another close Senate race
was in the 5th District along
the central coast, where
incumbent Arnie Roblan, a
Democrat, held on with only
a 1 percent margin, beating
Republican Dick Anderson
by only 294 votes, according
to the secretary of state’s
office.
In the House of Repre-
sentatives, the closest race
was in the 51st District,
with newcomer Janelle
Bynum, an African-Amer-
ican, edging Republican
Lori Chavez-Deremer by 2
percent. Incumbent Demo-
crat Shemia Fagan didn’t
run for re-election.
Oregon voters returned a
record 2.02 million ballots
in the Nov. 8 general
election, Secretary of State
Jeanne P. Atkins announced
on Thursday.
The previous record
was 1.84 million ballots
returned for the 2008
general election.
The
return
figure
accounted for 78.9 percent
of all ballots mailed to
eligible voters. That is fewer,
however, than the 82.8
percent voting rate in 2012
and 85.7 percent in 2008.

The four dams are
