Wisdom for your decisions

WASHINGTON (AP)

After months of delays, President Donald Trump is

expected to decide soon on the fate of young immigrants who were brought into the country illegally as children as he faces a looming court deadline and is digging in on appeals to his base.

Advocates on both sides of the issue are bracing for the possibility that Trump will halt the issuance of new work permits under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program, a move that would effectively phase out a program that gave hun-dreds of thousands of young people a reprieve from depor-tation and the ability to work legally in the U.S.

The Trump administration faces a Sept. 5 deadline from a group of Repub-

lican state lawmakers hoping to force the president’s hand. The White House, however, insisted Sunday that it had no

announcement on an issue the president has openly wrestled with for months.

The deliberations come as Trump has been under fire for his response to a white supremacists’ protest in Charlot-tesville, Virginia. Trump further fanned the flames of racial tension Friday when he pardoned Joe Arpaio, the former sheriff of Arizona’s Maricopa County, who had been found guilty of defying a judge’s order to stop racially profiling Latinos. The decision drew fury from Democrats and opposition from some Republicans, but was hailed by Trump’s most fervent base.

Trump has wavered back and forth on his plans for DACA, which he slammed during his campaign as “illegal amnesty.” Since taking office, however, Trump has softened his stance on the issue, at one point telling The Associated Press that the affected young immigrants could “rest easy.”

His administration, Trump said back in April, was “not after the dreamers, we are after the criminals.” All the while, the Department of Homeland Security has continued to grant two-year, renewable DACA work permits, to the dismay of immigration hard-liners.

But now, Trump is under pressure to make a final call: His administration is facing a September 5 deadline set by a group of Republican state lawmakers, led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

STATE

SPOKANE, Washington (AP)

A judge has tossed a November ballot measure aimed at revers-ing a Spokane law that restricts

police and city employees from asking about a person's immigration status.

Spokane County Superior Court Judge Julie McKay on Friday removed Proposi-tion 1 from the November ballot.

The initiative sought to change or remove parts of a city law that restrict police and other city employees from asking about a person's immigration status, The Spokesman-Review reports. It also would have added a section to the municipal code requiring city employ-ees to share collected immigration status information with federal authorities unless approved by the city council.

Six nonprofit groups serving immi-grants and refugees in Spokane sued in May to invalidate the ballot measure before the election, saying it was beyond the scope of the initiative process.

Tacoma-based Respect Washington legally defended the initiative after a local sponsor dropped her support as petition signatures were verified.

The group is also sponsoring a Novem-ber ballot in the Seattle suburb of Burien

that would repeal the city's so-called 'sanc-tuary city" ordinance aimed at protecting immigrants. It argues that such sanctuary city ordinances chill the sharing of infor-mation with federal immigration officials and threaten public safety.

Craig Keller with Respect Washington said after the court ruling in Spokane that the measure should be on the ballot.

"We will try to restore it to the ballot through an appeal," he told the newspa-per.

The judge ruled that changes to city municipal code — enacted this year and after the signature-gathering campaign to put Prop. 1 on the ballot — would make the initiative proposals unworkable. "I'm not quite sure how that's doable, and could render Proposition 1 meaning-less or impossible to implement," McKay said.

She also said the initiative attempted to make decisions about law enforcement that should be made by police and elected officials.

Rick Eichstaedt, attorney for the non-profit groups, cheered the decision. "Now we can really focus on doing good things in Spokane, and not focus on the type of hate that Proposition 1 really repre-sented," he said.

Prostate Cancer Screening: Why you should talk to your primary healthcare provider

By: Kevin Taylor, MD, Medical Director, Lourdes Physician Clinics

Confusion over Prostate Cancer Screening

There is a lot of confusing information about prostate cancer screening today. Sometimes we hear that men shouldn’t be screened at all, and other times we hear that some men should be screened and others not, or that older men should never be screened. Sometimes friends or relatives who have had prostate cancer tell us that all men with prostate cancer should have total prostatectomy (total removal of the prostate surgically), or that some men with prostate cancer should have no treatment at all! What is the truth here?

Basic Facts

There are only two ways to screen for prostate cancer. One way is a blood test, the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), and the other is a Digital Rectal Exam (DRE), where the examiner feels the prostate with a finger in the rectum, checking for lumps which could mean cancer. Unfortunately both of these methods have a lot of false positives (suggesting cancer when it is really not cancer at all). This, then, subjects a person to a lot of worry, and potentially unnecessary testing and biopsies which are ultimately normal. Consequently some medical groups in our country recommend against universal screening of all men.

In general, prostate cancers occurring in younger men tend to be more aggressive (growing and spreading faster), whereas prostate cancer occurring in older men tends to be less aggressive (growing and spreading very slowly). So a younger man (perhaps age 40-60) who has a family history of males with prostate cancer, may benefit more from a prostate cancer screening than an older man (probably 70’s or 80’s) who has no prostate cancer in the family.

Another consideration is the relative health of a man. For instance, a 60 year old with many other diseases and chronic medical problems who is not likely to live more than 5-10 years may benefit less from a prostate cancer screening than a vigorous 75 year old with many family members who have lived well into their 90’s.

One more consideration is the different treatment modalities for prostate cancer. Not only is there total prostatectomy, but also radiation treatment with a highly focused external beam, or radiation by implanting little pellets directly into the prostate, or even slowing or stopping the cancer growth by using some powerful hormone injections. There are definite side effects to each of these treatment types.

The Best Advice for You

Because of all of the complex variables, this is a very important subject to discuss with your Primary Healthcare Provider. He or she knows you and your health best and can give you more information about the pros and cons of screening for prostate cancer, and which screening schedule may best fit you and your health.

Stay Well with help from Your Pri-mary Healthcare Provider. tccancer.org

Be Healthy. Have A Conversation with Your Physician. BE A MAN. Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men (aside from skin cancer) and the second leading cause of cancer death in men. Early detection can lead to improved outcomes. Men, if you are between the ages of 50-69 and are at average risk, have a conversation with your primary care physician to determine if screening for prostate cancer is appropriate for you. If you have a family history of prostate cancer, you should have this conversation starting at age 40. Men 70 and above should consult with their physician and determine the best path for their personal healthcare needs.

WASHINGTON (AP)

By the time the rain stops, Harvey will have dumped about 1 million gallons of water for

every man, woman and child in south-eastern Texas — a soggy, record-breaking glimpse of the wet and wild future that global warming could bring, scientists say.

While scientists are quick to say that climate change didn’t cause Harvey and that they haven’t determined yet whether the storm was made worse by global warming, they do note that warmer air and water mean wetter and possibly more intense hurricanes in the future.

“This is the kind of thing we are going to get more of,” said Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer. “This storm should serve as warning.”

There’s a scientifically accepted method for determining if some wild weather event has the fingerprints of man-made climate change, and it involves intricate calculations. Those could take weeks or months to complete, and then even longer

to pass peer review.In general, though,

climate scientists agree that future storms will dump much more rain than the same size storms did in the past.

That’s because warmer air holds more water. With every degree Fahrenheit, the atmosphere can hold and then dump an additional 4 percent of water (7 percent for every degree Celsius), several scientists say.

Global warming also means warmer seas, and warm water is what fuels hur-ricanes.

When Harvey moved toward Texas, water in the Gulf of Mexico was nearly 2 degrees (1 degree Celsius) warmer than normal, said Weather Underground meteorology director Jeff Masters. Hur-ricanes need at least 79 degrees F (26 C) as fuel, and water at least that warm ran

more than 300 feet (100 meters) deep in the Gulf, according to University of Miami hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy.

Several studies show that the top 1 percent of the strongest downpours are already happening much more frequently. Also, calculations done Monday by MIT meteorology professor Kerry Emanuel show that the drenching received by Rockport, Texas, used to be maybe a once-in-1,800-years event for that city,

but with warmer air holding more water and changes in storm steering currents since 2010, it is now a once-every-300-years event.

There’s a lot of debate among climate scientists over what role, if any, global warming may have played in causing Harvey to stall over Texas, which was a huge factor in the catastrophic flooding. If the hurricane had moved on like a normal storm, it wouldn’t have dumped as much rain in any one spot.

Harvey stalled because it is sandwiched between two high-pressure fronts that push it in opposite directions, and those fronts are stuck.

Oppenheimer and some others theo-rize that there’s a connection between melting sea ice in the Arctic and changes in the jet stream and the weather patterns that make these “blocking fronts” more common. Others, like Masters, contend it’s too early to say.

SEATTLE, Washington (AP)

If the Seattle Sounders are left chasing points to try to avoid playing an extra playoff game or

earn home-field advantage, settling for two draws in an unfulfilling rivalry week could be the cause.

‘’We feel like the team that lost points today,’’ Seattle midfielder Cristian Roldan said.

Roldan scored his sixth goal of the season on a wild scramble to give Seattle an early advantage, and Diego Valeri scored on a penalty kick just before half-time to help the Portland Timbers escape with a 1-1 draw Sunday night.

The 99th meeting between the Sound-ers and Timbers featured the top two teams in the MLS Western Conference standings with two months left in the regular season. Seattle had the better of the chances and extended its unbeaten streak to 11, but for the second time in the past week was forced to accept a 1-1 draw. The Sounders tied Vancouver 1-1 on Wednesday despite playing the major-

ity of the second half with a one-man advantage.

In both matches Seattle had opportunities to get three points for the victory and take firm control of the top spot in the West. Instead, the Sounders (42 points) continue to hold just a one-point lead over the Timbers (41 points) for first place.

‘’You’re playing your two archrivals, you have chances in Vancouver to put that game away and you have chances to put Portland away and you don’t do it. Disappointed,’’ Seattle coach Brian Schmetzer said.

Roldan scored in the 18th minute to ignite the crowd of 51,796. But Port-land dominated the latter portions of the first half, leading to Darren Mattocks drawing a penalty during first-

half stoppage time. Valeri beat goalkeeper Stefan Frei for his 16th goal this season and has scored in six straight games.

Dear Dave,

Do you recommend a credit freeze in order to

protect against identity theft? — Eric

Dear Eric,

I absolutely recommend doing that, especially if

you’re not borrowing money anymore. However,

putting a freeze on your credit report only pro-

vides partial protection against identity theft.

Identity theft is where someone, for example,

signs up for a credit card in your name. If Joe

Crook signs an application with your name and

address, and the credit card company issues the

card without checking —they blind-issue cards

about seven out of 10 times — then the card

will be issued to the thief. Having your credit

frozen does nothing to stop that from hap-

pening. Still, if they check your credit and it’s

frozen, chances are they won’t issue the card.

I’d also recommend having a good identity theft

protection program in place.

You may get out of paying for it in the end, but

you’ll still have to spend dozens, if not hun-

dreds, of hours dealing with the credit card

company trying to get the whole mess straight-

ened out! — Dave

Sabiduría para las decisiones

POLÍTICA

PHOENIX, Arizona (AP)

El presidente Donald Trump indultó el viernes al ex jefe policial Joe Arpaio y lo salvó

de cumplir una posible pena de prisión después de que fuera declarado culpable de desacato por haber persistido en real-izar sus patrullajes para detectar a inmi-grantes no autorizados.

La medida presidencial revirtió lo que los detractores consideraban un merecido castigo para un sheriff que había eludido la rendición de cuentas por sus tácticas controversiales durante su periodo como el jefe policial de la zona metropolitana de Phoenix.

La Casa Blanca dijo que el ex jefe poli-cial de 85 años es un “digno candidato” del perdón presidencial. Fue el primer indulto que concede Trump como man-datario.

“Me complace informarles que acabo de conceder un indulto total al sheriff Joe Arpaio, patriota estadounidense de 85 años. ¡Mantuvo segura a Arizona!”, tuiteó Trump el viernes.

El indulto para Arpaio fue anun-ciado tres días después de un mitin en Phoenix en el que el presidente mani-festó su disposición a exonerar al ex jefe policial de su declaración de culpabili-dad por un delito menor de desacato a una corte.

“Durante todo el tiempo que fue jefe de policía, Arpaio continuó el trabajo de su vida de proteger al público de los azotes de la delincuencia y la inmi-gración ilegal”, señaló la Casa Blanca en un comunicado.

Arpaio estuvo de humor para celebrar después del indulto. Comió en un res-taurante italiano y alguien de su grupo pidió champaña. Dijo a The Associated Press que estaba agradecido por el indulto presidencial.

“Agradezco lo que el presidente hizo”, señaló. “Tengo que decirlo: Indulto o no indulto, estaré con él mientras sea presi-dente”.

El indulto suscitó críticas severas e inmediatas de líderes hispanos y políticos en Arizona y en otras partes. Dijeron que el perdón presidencial equivalía a avalar

el racismo al cancelar la declaración de culpabilidad emitida contra un hombre que las cortes determinaron había con-vertido a los latinos en el objetivo de sus patrullajes de inmigración.

“Indultar a Joe Arpaio es una bofetada a las personas del condado Maricopa, en especial para la comunidad hispana y aquellos a los que victimizó mien-tras violaba sistemática e ilegalmente sus derechos civiles”, dijo el alcalde de

Phoenix, Greg Stanton.El senador John McCain de Arizona

también expresó su descontento.“Nadie está por encima de la ley”,

afirmó en un comunicado, y añadió que “los agentes de la ley juramentados siempre deberían buscar estar por encima de cualquier reproche en su compromiso por hacer valer imparcialmente las leyes que juraron defender”.

El indulto a Arpaio socava la afirmación de Trump de que hará valer el respeto a la ley, hizo notar McCain. Además, indicó, el ex jefe policial no se ha mostrado arre-pentido por sus acciones.

La Casa Blanca anunció el perdón el viernes en la noche después de que Trump abundara sobre su prohibición contra los transexuales en las fuerzas armadas, una política que será aclamada por su base conservadora, y mientras un poderoso huracán categoría 4 se abatía sobre Texas.

Arpaio se convirtió en figura política a nivel nacional en los últimos 12 años por sus acciones agresivas para arrestar a inmigrantes que radiquen sin permiso en el país.

POLITICS

PHOENIX, Arizona (AP)

President Donald Trump spared former Sheriff Joe Arpaio a pos-sible jail sentence on Friday by

pardoning the recent federal conviction stemming from his immigration patrols, reversing what critics saw as a long-awaited comeuppance for a lawman who escaped accountability for headline-grab-bing tactics during his tenure as metro-politan Phoenix’s top law enforcer.

The White House said the 85-year-old ex-sheriff was a “worthy candidate” for a presidential pardon. It was Trump’s first pardon as president.

“I am pleased to inform you that I have just granted a full Pardon to 85 year old American patriot Sheriff Joe Arpaio. He kept Arizona safe!” Trump tweeted Friday.

The announcement came three days after a rally in Phoenix at which the pres-ident signaled his willingness to absolve Arpaio’s misdemeanor contempt-of-court conviction.

Arpaio was in a cele-bratory mood after the pardon, eating dinner at an Italian restaurant as someone in his party ordered champagne. He told The Associated Press he was thankful for the pardon.

“I appreciate what the president did,” he said. “I have to put it out there: Pardon, no pardon — I’ll be with him as long as he’s president.”

The pardon drew a swift and harsh denun-ciation from Latinos and political leaders in Arizona and beyond. They said the action amounted to an endorsement of racism by wiping away the conviction of a man who has been found by the courts to have racially profiled Latinos in his immigra-tion patrols.

“Pardoning Joe Arpaio is a slap in the face to the people of Maricopa County, especially the Latino community and those he victimized as he systematically and illegally violated their civil rights,” Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton said.

Senator John McCain of Arizona also

voiced his displeasure. “No one is above the law,” he said

in a statement, adding that “sworn law enforcement officers should always seek to be above reproach in their commitment to enforce impartially the laws they vowed to defend.”

The pardon to Arpaio undermines Trump’s claim that he will enforce respect for the law, McCain noted. In addition, he said, the former police chief has not been repentant for his actions.

The White House announced the pardon late Friday after Trump fleshed out the details of his ban on transgender individuals serving in the military, a policy that will cheer his conservative base, and as a powerful Category 4 hurricane threatened to

batter Texas with heavy winds and severe flooding.

Arpaio became a nationally known political figure over the past dozen years as he took aggressive action to arrest immigrants in the country illegally.
