Activists
rally to show
support
of stalled
lawsuit
EUGENE (AP) — Young
activists and others rallied
Monday in Eugene, Portland
and other cities to support a
high-profile climate change
lawsuit brought by 21 young
people against the federal
government.
Trial was set to begin
in federal court in Eugene
on Monday. But the U.S.
Supreme Court temporar-
ily halted the proceedings
to decide whether the case
should move forward.
The 2015 lawsuit argues
that government officials
have known for more than
50 years that carbon pollu-
tion from fossil fuels was
causing climate change and
that policies on oil and gas
deprive young people of life,
liberty and property.
At least 500 people ral-
lied Monday outside the fed-
eral courthouse in Eugene.
The youngest plaintiff,
11-year-old Florida resident
Levi Draheim, and others
addressed the crowd, The
Register-Guard reported.
Dozens also gathered in
Portland and Seattle to sup-
port the youth.

No one was injured.
ONTARIO (AP) — A chief petitioner
of the effort to get a measure on the ballot
seeking to lift the ban on recreational sales
of marijuana in Ontario has formed a polit-
ical action committee.
The Argus Observer reports Jahmel
Cooke filed for the PAC under Malheur-
CAN!, the same name used by the Ontario
group that petitioned for the ballot measure.
Jim Forrester, an organizer for the
group, says Cooke filed for the PAC with-
out approval from the group.
Cooke says he formed the PAC to “make
sure everything is good with the ballot mea-
sure.” He says an election office official
told him that forming a PAC was the next
step required in the process and to protect
people listed in the petition committee.

Small tornado hits Portland
during fall storm
PORTLAND (AP) — A small tor-
nado hit Portland, during an intense fall
rainstorm.
The National Weather Service says the
tornado on Sunday afternoon overturned
three unoccupied trailers, damaged a roof,
snapped tree limbs and briefly left about
800 people without power.
The twister was a category E-0 — the
ASHLAND (AP) — After responding to
reports that two cougars were spotted on the
Southern Oregon University campus, Ash-
land police fired a shot at one of the ani-
mals, but missed and the cougar escaped,
apparently unharmed.
The Ashland Daily Tidings reports that
police Chief Tighe O’Meara said officers
and SOU campus security responded at
about 10 p.m. Sunday to reports of the cou-
gars on the campus. The officers attempted
to chase the cougars away by making noise,
but were unsuccessful in scaring away the
larger of the two cats.
O’Meara then “made the decision that
the cat had to be put down as it presented
an ongoing danger to the community.”
One shot was fired at the cougar, but
missed, and the cougar then left the area.
According to the release, the officers
involved first ensured that there was a
proper back stop immediately behind the
target that could safely absorb the bullet.
