Jay Inslee looks on, Monday in Olympia, Wash. Ferguson has said he will sue if the state is not exempted from the plan. “Washington state did not ask for offshore drilling and we do not want offshore drilling in our state.” — Hilary Franz, commissioner of public lands Monday, Inslee was joined by Ferguson and other oppo- nents to the plan, including tribal representatives. Inslee acknowledged that there’s likely not much oil off the coast “and nobody is really interested in it.” But he said that the Trump administration has a “desire to feed their base with stuff that’s never going to happen, and I believe this is one of those cases.” One of the concerns cited by Ferguson in his letter Flower/Candy Bouquets • Stuff ed Animals • Balloons • Jewelry • Purses & More!

Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz said that any oil exploration off of the coast will endanger the state’s aquatic resources. “Washington state did not ask for offshore drilling and we do not want offshore drilling in our state,” she said. “This is a situation that is bigger than politics. Our public lands and waters are not bargaining chips.” -0s showers t-storms 0s 10s rain 20s flurries 30s 40s snow ice 50s 60s cold front 70s 80s 90s 100s warm front stationary front 110s high low National Summary: Snow will dwindle in the Northeast today.

Ferguson sent a letter to U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke Monday, the same day the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management had scheduled, and then postponed, a public meeting in Tacoma about the offshore drilling proposal. Zinke announced plans last month to greatly expand offshore oil drilling from the Atlantic to the Arctic and Pacific oceans, including multiple areas where drilling is now blocked. The plan was immediately met with bipartisan opposition on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. In the letter, Ferguson cited an exemption that was recently granted to Florida “sparing that state from the risks and burdens of drilling and exploration off its shores.” “Every reason identi- fied by the Secretary in announcing his decision also applies to Washington,” Ferguson wrote. “Were the Department to grant one state an exemption without an identified process and established criteria, it would contravene the regulatory framework and processes that states rely on for fair and lawful treatment.” Inslee has already asked Zinke to remove Wash- ington, along with the entire Pacific coastline, from that list.

Olga Telsheva sought $625,000 when the suit was filed last year. She alleged that officials failed to protect her son from being beaten up by a classmate twice on Nov. 13, 2015. One assault happened between classes at North Eugene High School and the other was during gym class. The lawsuit was filed on Telsheva’s behalf by attorney Kevin Brague. The Register-Guard reports that Eugene-area school districts have settled three lawsuits filed by Brague on behalf of parents in the past two years. Each lawsuit sought damages of $600,000 or more and settled for $30,000 or less. Mt. Ashland closes again due to lack of snow MEDFORD (AP) — The mild winter has been difficult for the Mt. Ashland Ski Area. The mountain partially opened Thursday, Jan. 25, following an overnight dump of 14 inches of snow. But mild conditions returned, and there’s not enough snow to continue operating. A statement on the ski park website says Mt. Ashland will remain closed until it receives more snow. This week’s forecast calls for sunny, mostly clear skies with temperatures from the mid-40s to mid-50s. In a video message on the ski area’s Facebook page, general manager Hiram Towle said: “We will open at the nearest opportunity to get you back on snow.” Woman sues over newborn’s death following 2-day birth BEND (AP) — A Bend woman has filed a $9 million wrongful death lawsuit against the St. Charles Health System after her daughter died following a difficult childbirth. The Bulletin reported Monday that Grace Louise Marchant-Hubbs was born unconscious after a 2-day delivery and never regained consciousness. She was removed from life support two days later after tests showed no sign of brain activity. The lawsuit alleges that obstetrician Mary Jane Davis did not respond quickly enough when the baby’s mother began bleeding. The suit alleges that an emergency Caesarian section was delayed 30 minutes because of paperwork problems as the baby’s heart started racing. The newspaper reports that the hospital has not yet filed a response to the lawsuit. Soldier who died in accidental shooting identified PORTLAND (AP) — Officials have identified a soldier who died in an accidental shooting at a training facility near the Oregon coast. Authorities say 24-year-old Spc. Devin Kuhn died Wednesday from his injuries in the emergency room at Columbia Memorial Hospital in Astoria. Kuhn was assigned to Alpha Co., 2nd Ranger Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington. Camp Rilea, based in Warrenton, is the primary training facility for the Oregon National Guard.
