Judge declines to order New York to include ‘abortion’ in description of ballot measure
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A New York judge said Friday he won’t force state election officials to tell voters that a proposed antidiscrimination amendment to the state’s constitution would protect abortion rights, dealing a blow to Democrats who pushed for the change. The decision from Judge David A. Weinstein came in a lawsuit over the language that voters will see on ballots this November explaining what the proposed Equal Rights Amendment would do if passed. Democrats wanted the state Board of Elections to include the words “ abortion ” and “LGBT,” arguing that they would make the amendment’s purpose clearer to voters. Supporters of the measure said it would protect abortion access by expanding the state’s antidiscrimination protections. But Weinstein said he was reluctant to declare that the amendment would protect abortion rights.

Fire Tower Lighting Event Aug. 31; Helping Loons, Ducks
You could hardly start an outdoor fire with gasoline around these parts, but out west there are currently 287 forest fires burning in 15 states, the most (75) in Oregon, where there is also the most acreage on fire. Locally, we will be lighting up the fire towers in the area on Aug. 31 from 9 to 9:30 p.m. and reading the names of the observers that manned those towers in remembrance of their service. Bald Mountain (Rondaxe), Woodhull, Wakely, Owlshead, Stillwater and Snowy mountains will be lit that night. Some lighting can be viewed from the local lakes and highways. I know some people go up to these towers that are lit before sunset to take photos, but you better take a good headlamp or two with you because it is completely dark coming back down after the lighting takes place.
