NATIONAL BRIEFING
Supreme Court won’t halt turnover
of Trump’s tax records
In a significant defeat for former Presi-
dent Donald Trump, the Supreme Court
on Monday declined to step in to halt the
turnover of his tax records to a New York
state prosecutor.
The court’s action is the apparent culmi-
nation of a lengthy legal battle that had al-
ready reached the high court once before.
Trump’s tax records are not supposed
to become public as part of prosecutors’
criminal investigation, but the high court’s
action is a blow to Trump because he has
long fought on so many fronts to keep his
tax records shielded from view. The ongo-
ing investigation that the records are part
of could also become an issue for Trump
in his life after the presidency.
In a statement, the Trump blasted prose-
cutors and said the “Supreme Court never
should have let this ‘fishing expedition’
happen, but they did.”
The court’s order is a win for Manhat-
tan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., who
has been seeking Trump’s tax records since
2019 as part of an investigation.

Arceneaux will become the youngest
American in space — beating NASA re-

— when she blasts off this fall with entre-

She’ll also be the first to launch with a
prosthesis. When she was 10, she had sur-

get a titanium rod in her left thigh bone.
She still limps and suffers occasional leg
pain, but has been cleared for flight by
SpaceX. She’ll serve as the crew’s medical
officer.

Drew Clendenen carries Shasta back to the Mt. Bachelor National Ski Patrol building after exploring the snow together at the mountain on Friday.

“They are actually better at
traveling over avalanche ter-
rain than humans on skis,”
Norsen said.
The ski patrol staffers call
the dogs their backup insur-
ance plan. Typically, two dogs
are at the mountain each day,
but are hardly ever used for
rescues since avalanches are
rare at Mt. Bachelor, Norsen
said.
For example, Riggins has
been a part of two rescues
in his 9-year career, called
upon to confirm nobody was
trapped under a slab of snow.
Mostly, the rescue dogs spend
their days training with their
handlers and doing demonstra-
tions for school groups and the
resort’s periodic safety aware-
ness presentations.
“We keep them here just in
case,” Norsen said.
Mt. Bachelor has an ava-
lanche reduction plan that
keeps terrain closed in danger-
ous conditions and has staff
use explosives to jar loose snow
on a slope. The prevention dra-
matically limits the amount
of avalanches at the ski area,
Norsen said.
Outside of the ski area, ava-
lanches are common in back-
country terrain across the
region, according to Kevin
Grove, a board member for
the Central Oregon Avalanche
Center, which studies and fore-
casts avalanches.
Avalanches in Central Ore-
gon are directly related to ma-

jor winter storms, Grove said.
Earlier this month, a string
of winter storms led to about
six reports of incidents involv-
ing sliding snow, Grove said.
“When we see big storms
where we were getting con-
siderable amounts of snow in
short periods of time and con-
siderable amounts of wind,
there tends to be avalanches
occurring within those storm
layers,” Grove said.
While incidents have been
minor in Central Oregon, this
winter is the deadliest ava-
lanche season across the nation
since the early 1900s, accord-
ing to the Colorado Avalanche
Information Center.
So far, 29 people have died in
Redistricting
Continued from A1
In an extremely abnormal year, the nor-
mal course of events prescribed in the state
constitution and law can’t happen. Ore-
gon is not alone in this mess. The National
Conference of State Legislatures reports
the Sept. 30 data delivery could upend the
process in at least 26 states.
In Oregon, the timeline is supposed to
begin with the U.S. Census every 10 years.
The block-by-block data is sent to states
by April 1 the following year. The Legisla-
ture draws the maps and sends them to the
governor for approval by the time lawmak-
ers adjourn on July 1. If a political stale-
mate gets in the way, the secretary of state
redraws the legislative maps by Aug. 15. A
special five-judge panel draws the congres-
sional maps. The new lines are then used
in legislative and congressional races the
following year. For this cycle, they would
avalanches nationwide, includ-
ing 14 within the first week of
February, the center reported.
That is an increase from 23
deaths reported last winter.
Most of the deaths are being
reported in Utah, Colorado,
Montana and Wyoming, where
snowpack has been weak,
Grove said.
“Across the U.S., the ava-
lanche hazard has been quite
high all season long,” Grove
said. “There have been some
persistent weak layers down at
the ground that have been pro-
ducing avalanches.”
The danger of avalanches is
a constant motivation to train
rescue dogs like Shasta.
Clendenen, who named the

All the deadline dates will be long-gone
by the time the Census Bureau gets the
numbers to Oregon.
The mess now looks headed to the Or-
egon Supreme Court. Lawmakers in both
parties have approved using the legislative
counsel to explore legal options.
Salinas said a best case scenario would be
for the court to rule the Legislature has 60
days from when it receives the census data to
draw the maps and get them to the governor.
House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland,
said the option was possible even though
the Legislature must adjourn its regular
session on July 1.
“We’d have a special session,” she said
Monday.
Salinas said the worst case scenario is
the courts deciding political boundaries.
Democrats have supermajorities in both
chambers of the Legislature. Gov. Kate
Brown and Secretary of State Shemia Fa-
puppy after Mount Shasta in
Northern California where he
started his ski patrol career 11
years ago, said Shasta will be
sent to an avalanche dog train-
ing program at Stevens Pass Ski
Resort in Washington.
Shasta, who came from a
breeder in Ellensburg, Wash-
ington, will learn how to sense
a human is stuck under the
snow and signal to the ski pa-
trol to start digging for the per-
son. A successful rescue means
getting a treat or toy.
“The dog is going to alert us
by digging or barking,” Clen-
denen said. “It’s all about a
game.”

gan are both Democrats.
Republicans have called for the creation
of an independent commission to handle
redistricting, a system used by California.
That’s an option for the future. Repub-
licans know the Democrats will dominate
the process, but they prefer to debate the
maps in committees and on the floor of
the House and Senate to having the maps
drawn out of public sight.
In the meantime, Salinas said the com-
mittee would begin the legally-mandated
series of public hearings, even though they
have no specific district outlines to discuss
with potential voters. Normally, the pro-
posals go on a “road show” for hearings
around the state. With COVID-19 still at
dangerous levels and an unclear set of po-
litical boundaries, lawmakers are discuss-
ing the best way to get public input. Salinas
said there may be more information by the
end of this week.
