NORTHWEST East Oregonian Page 2A Tuesday, February 21, 2017 BRIEFLY Portland demonstrators say ‘Not My President’ PORTLAND (AP) — A small but unruly group of “Not My Presi- dents Day” protesters faced off with police in downtown Portland. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports that the police confronted the crowd in front of the Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal Building on Monday. Police took some people into custody. The crowd of several dozen, some wearing masks, were gath- ering for a “Not My Presidents Day” rally in protest of Donald Trump. Police lined up facing the protesters on Southwest Third Avenue. The incident partially blocked the road. At noon, a larger crowd gathered at Director Park under the canopy in the rain. After listening to speeches, some started marching. Portland police say the march had permits from the city. Thousands of demonstrators turned out across the U.S. to chal- lenge the new president, though the events on the federal holiday didn’t draw nearly as many people as the million-plus who thronged the streets following the inauguration a month earlier. Thousands of flag-waving protesters lined up outside Central Park in Manhattan. Many in the crowd chanted “No ban, no wall. The Trump regime has got to fall.” They held aloft signs saying “Uphold the Constitution Now” and “Impeach the Liar.” A rally in downtown Los Angeles also drew thousands. Demonstrators there called attention to Trump’s crackdown on immigration and his party’s response to climate change and the environment. Organizers said they chose to rally on the holiday as a way to honor past presidents by exercising their constitutional right to assemble and peacefully protest. Hundreds march at Oregon State Capitol for immigration SALEM (AP) — On the heels of nationwide protests, hundreds of people gathered at the Oregon State Capitol in support of immigration and immigration rights. The Statesman Journal reports that Sunday’s forecast of downpours didn’t deter the crowd. Event organizers estimated more than 1,000 people attended. Winds whipped the signs of protesters crowded on the Capitol Mall as Yesica Navarro spoke about growing up as an immigrant. Her family came to the U.S. when she was a child, looking for a better life. Learning a new culture and language was difficult for many others like her. Navarro told the crowd that against all odds, they persisted. She says they love this country and want to be accepted. The event, part of the Immigrants’ March Presidents Day 2017, was a grassroots efforts. Dave Killen/The Oregonian via AP A person is detained during a protest Monday in Portland. Thousands of demonstrators turned out Monday across the U.S. to challenge President Donald Trump in a Presidents Day protest dubbed Not My President’s Day. America great.” Dozens marched through midtown Atlanta for a rally named with a Georgia flavor: “ImPEACH NOW! (Not My) President’s Day March.” Hundreds of protesters chanting “This is what democracy looks like” marched through Salt Lake City. The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the crowd marched to push back against Trump and his admin- istration’s stance on such issues as the environment, immigration, free speech and Russia. Some people raised signs that said “Not My President,” while others held up a large American flag. Protester Reg Brookings warned the crowd that Trump is trying to divide In Chicago, several hundred rallied across the river from the Trump Tower, shouting “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Donald Trump has got to go.” Rebecca Wolfram of Chicago, who’s in her 60s, said concerns about climate change and immi- grant rights under Trump prompted her to start attending rallies. “I’m trying to demonstrate as much as possible until I figure out what else to do,” said Wolfram, who held a sign that said “Old white ladies are really displeased.” Several hundred demonstrated in Washington, D.C. Dozens gathered around the fountain in Dupont Circle chanting “Dump Trump” and “Love, not hate: That’s what makes the country by making such groups as immigrants the enemy. Hundreds of Trump opponents and supporters turned out in Rapid City, South Dakota. A larger anti-Trump faction stood on a street corner as part of a “Not My President” protest, similar to other demonstrations being held across the country. A group supporting the president lined up on a different corner at the same intersection. Walker reported from New York City. Associated Press writers Jeff Martin in Atlanta, Tammy Webber in Chicago, Alanna Durkin Richer in Richmond and Martha Bellisle in Seattle, Washington, contributed to this story. Oregon wants to host Outdoor Retailer show SALEM (AP) — Oregon tourism officials are courting a trade show for outdoor retailers that left Utah after the state’s stance on public lands sparked some brands to boycott the biannual event. The Statesman Journal reports Outdoor Retailer organizers made the decision after Utah Gov. Gary Herbert refused to rescind his call for the reversal of a new national monument designation. Patagonia CEO Rose Marcario said the industry is all about defending public lands and cannot stand by this decision. The shows attracted almost 45,000 people to Salt Lake City last year. These visitors spent an estimated $45 million annually in the state. Linea Gagliano of Travel Oregon says Portland would make the perfect location for the event. News reports say Montana and Colorado officials are also interested in hosting the show. Second Malheur refuge occupation trial begins Tuesday By AMANDA PEACHER Oregon Public Broadcasting Opening arguments for the second trial of four occupiers of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge begins Tuesday at the federal courthouse in Portland. Many Harney County resi- dents were disappointed by the “not guilty” jury verdict in the first trial of Ammon and Ryan Bundy and five other occupiers. This second trial features four lesser-known defendants, and some people in Harney County hope the jury sees the case differ- officers by force, threat or intim- idation. Their five co-defendants were all found not guilty as well. Now, defendants Duane Ehmer, Jake Ryan, Darryl Thorn and Jason Patrick face that same federal felony charge. They also face several misdemeanor charges, like trespassing. Federal prosecutors added those charges after the not guilty verdict in the first trial came down last fall. This second set of defendants includes lesser-known occupiers who decided to waive their right to a speedy trial, and thus opted for a delayed trial date. The trial ently this time. “We just want peace back in our community, I think,” said Candy Tiller, a retired Bureau of Land Management employee who lives in Burns. “People are trying to get beyond this. The second trial, I guess maybe for myself, it’s like, yeah well is it going to be a repeat of the first one?” In the first trial of the occupiers last fall, a 12-person jury found occupation leaders Ammon and Ryan Bundy not guilty of the government’s primary charge: conspiracy to impede federal Didn’t receive your paper?

For Harney County, Tiller says that every time the occupiers are in the news, it’s a reminder of the trauma the occupation caused her community. The 41-day occupa- tion disrupted the community in ways that may take years to heal. “The community is actually trying to come back together,” said Tiller. “And then [the occu- pation] keeps roaring up and slapping us in the face again and again.” 0 8 a.m. 10 a.m. Noon 2 p.m. 4 p.m. 6 p.m. 0-2, Low 3-5, Moderate 6-7, High; 8-10, Very High; 11+, Extreme The higher the AccuWeather.com UV Index™ num- ber, the greater the need for eye and skin protection.
