Video posted by the zoo this week shows Umzu- la-zuli taking its first ten- tative steps in the elephant enclosure — under the watchful eye of its mother, Ndula. Zookeeper Mindy Albright says the other 12 elephants sniffed the new baby and trumpeted their welcome. The healthy male Afri- can elephant calf was born on Sunday, which happened to be World Elephant Day. Umzula-zuli — or Zuli, for short — tipped the scales at 270 pounds — making it the largest ele- phant ever born at the safari park.

Colorado baker back in court after denying gender transition celebration cake By JAMES ANDERSON Associated Press DENVER — A Colorado baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a gay cou- ple on religious grounds — a stance partially upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court — has sued the state over its oppo- sition to his refusal to bake a cake celebrating a gender transition, his attorneys said Wednesday. Jack Phillips, owner of the Masterpiece Cakeshop in suburban Denver, claimed that Colorado officials are on a “crusade to crush” him and force him into mediation over the gender transition cake because of his religious beliefs, according to a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday. Phillips is seeking to over- turn a Colorado Civil Rights Commission ruling that he discriminated against a trans- gender person by refusing to make a cake celebrating that person’s transition from male to female. His lawsuit came after the Supreme Court ruled in June that Colorado’s Civil Rights Commission displayed anti-religious bias when it sanctioned Phillips for refus- ing to make a wedding cake in 2012 for Charlie Craig and Dave Mullins, a same-sex couple. The justices voted 7-2 that the commission vio- lated Phillips’ rights under the First Amendment. But the court did not rule on the larger issue of whether busi- nesses can invoke religious objections to refuse service East Oregonian COMING EVENTS THURSDAY, AUGUST 16 SKILLS FOR LIFE, 3-5 p.m., Pendleton Recreation Center, 510 S.W.

The Alliance Defend- ing Freedom, a conserva- tive Christian nonprofit law firm, represented Phillips in the case and filed the new lawsuit. Phillips operates a small, family-run bakery located in a strip mall in the southwest Denver suburb of Lakewood. He told the state civil rights commission that he can make no more than two to five cus- tom cakes per week, depend- ing on time constraints and consumer demand for the cakes that he sells in his store that are not for special orders. Autumn Scardina, a Den- ver attorney whose prac- tice includes family, per- sonal injury, insurance and employment law, filed the Colorado complaint — say- ing that Phillips refused her request for a gender transi- tion cake in 2017. Cardina said she asked for a cake with a pink interior and a blue exterior and told Phillips it was intended to celebrate her gender transi- tion. She did not state in her complaint whether she asked for the cake to have a mes- sage on it. The commission found on June 28 that Scardina was discriminated against because of her transgender status. It ordered both parties to seek a mediated solution. Phillips sued in response, citing his belief that “the sta- tus of being male or female ... is given by God, is bio- logically determined, is not determined by perceptions or feelings, and cannot be cho- sen or changed,” according to his lawsuit. Phillips alleges that Col- orado violated his First Amendment right to prac- tice his faith and the 14th Amendment right to equal protection, citing commis- sion rulings upholding other bakers’ refusal to make cakes with messages that are offen- sive to them. “For over six years now, Colorado has been on a cru- sade to crush Plaintiff Jack Phillips ... because its offi- FREE FOR ALL, 9:30-10:15 a.m., Pendleton Center for the Arts, 214 N.

The lawsuit said he received several anonymous requests to make cakes depicting Satan and Satanic symbols and that he believed she made the requests. Reached by telephone Wednesday, Scardina declined to comment, citing the pending litigation. Her brother, attorney Todd Scar- dina, is representing her in the case and did not imme- diately return a phone mes- sage seeking comment. Phillips’ lawsuit refers to a website for Scardina’s practice, Scardina Law. The site states, in part: “We take great pride in taking on employers who discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisex- ual and transgender people and serving them their just desserts.” The lawsuit said that Phillips has been harassed, received death threats, and that his small shop was van- dalized while the wedding cake case wound its way through the judicial system. SATURDAY, AUGUST 18 In this June 4, 2018 file photo, baker Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, manages his shop after a U.S. Supreme Court issued a limited ruling in his favor after he refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.
