Pamplin Media Group - Mill demolition underway

Mill demolition underway
Demolition of Newberg's historic paper mill has begun.
Millions of pounds of steel, aluminum and other metals will be harvested from the site and sold as scrap as the company that purchased the facility begins the monumental task of disassembling the mill and freeing up the land for development.
Commercial Development Co. Inc., the St. Louis, Missouri-based company that purchased the mill from WestRock, began auctioning off heavy equipment, steam-generating machinery and other items last fall.
Demolition of the mill will continue until the site is cleared, then a subsidiary of the company will begin what is expected to be a heavy environmental cleanup before the land can be developed for alternative uses.

News I'm David Greene in Culver City California and I'm Noel King in Washington d.c. Good morning Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is warning Russia to not intrude in this year's midterm elections there's a possibility that we may well think of legislation related to this in the meantime . I think the Russians need to know that there are a lot of us who fully understand what happened in 26 days and it really better not happen again President Trump attempted some damage control yesterday after his much criticized press conference with Russia's president Vladimir Putin the president says he excepts the findings of the u.s. Intelligence community that Russia did interfere in the 2016 presidential election worth noting that President Trump is also tweeting this morning he says quote so many people at the higher ends of intelligence love to my press conference performance in Helsinki Putin I discussed many important subjects at our earlier meeting we got along well which truly bothered many haters who wanted to see a boxing match big results will come. And quote so for Democrats possibly a political opening here Senator Chris Van Hollen is with us now he's a Democrat from Maryland and he's one of the people behind the legislation mentioned by Leader McConnell welcome to Morning Edition Senator good morning good to be with you good to have you I want to start with this legislation it's a bipartisan bill from you and Republican Senator Marco Rubio It would impose sanctions on Russia if the Kremlin interferes in future elections How likely does it seem to you that the Senate is going to take action on this I think there is growing momentum to pass this legislation President Trump has shown that he will not protect the integrity of our democracy that means the Congress has to do it there are 16 weeks to go before the 28 elections and the bill that Senator Rubio and I have introduced called the detour Act would do that by creating huge penalties on the Russian economy if Russia is caught again interfering in our elections so when momentum to protect our democracy Senator you called it in saying that the president believes Lattimer Putin when he assured trump that Russia didn't interfere in the 2016 election the president then clarified yesterday did his clarification change anything for you no not at all look 1st the president undermined the credibility of the night States and our intelligence community insulted our intelligence community said he believed bladder reputing over our own people on our own intelligence and then his effort to walk it back really insulted the intelligence of the American people of the American voters I think most people saw that sort of like the dog ate my homework excuse a kid might give and his tweet this morning President Trump's tweet this morning shows that the real bomb will trump was the Donald Trump standing next to Vladimir Putin. Under my United States and not the sort of failed attempt at an apology at the White House all right let's talk about what this could mean for Democrats Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer hinted at a Capitol Hill press conference yesterday that Russia is going to be a campaign theme if when the majority will probably will be more effective than you'd see a lot stronger things protecting American security then you will with this majority which seems so afraid of President Trump do you think that could be a winning message for Democrats in the midterms on this issue I think it's one for the country this is a moment the man's patriotism over partisanship but I also know that voters want members of Congress who are going to hold this president accountable and sort of live up to the idea of Congress as an independent body that's going to have checks and balances on this president I think what happened in health is an example of why that is so important voters do not want to rubber stamp and they don't want somebody who's just going to go along with President Tom and after what happened in Helsinki people are more than ever going to want to Congress that's going to do the willing to hold President Trump accountable do you worry Senator though that if you make this a campaign theme you'll be accused of politicizing national security just quickly I just said that I think this is an issue that the man's patriotism Opar the ship and that we need to work together in Congress both to protect the mall or investigation and to protect you take Ready of our elections going forward that's what the detour Act is all about I think it's patriotic for people to want to stand up for a Congress that does its job under the Constitution as an independent body and then one that holds President Trump accountable on issues of national security it is President Trump that has abandoned a long tradition of American foreign policy where we stand up for the rule of law and certainly American presidents haven't thrown their own. Entry on the bus standing next to Russian leaders Senator Chris Van Holland is a Democrat from Maryland thank you for your time Senator thank you just briefly we're going to turn to N.P.R.'s White House reporter Sarah McCammon in studio with us Sarah what do you think about what we just heard well this could be a problem for Republicans you know you never want as a party to be divided or to be facing chaos heading into an election and this as we've seen has been an issue that Republicans and Democrats have come out criticized the president's remarks you know I've heard consternation from lots of Republicans about what the president said and you know Democrats whether or not they are concerned about politicizing it it's likely this will come up in the next couple of months as we head toward November Sarah McCammon is a political reporter for n.p.r. Sarah thanks so much thank you. The feud over tariffs between President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has rattled many towns along the border but few are connected as tightly as Madawaska Maine and Edmonson New Brunswick this is where these linked Mills make pulp and paper along the St John River with a trade war looming people on both sides of that river are mystified by the deteriorating international ties Murray carpenter reports standing here on the bank of the St John River in Edmonton New Brunswick it's easy to see the compact and intertwined international relationship an ancient 2 lane bridge carries cars and trucks over the river pipes carry pulp and steam from the pulp mill to the paper mill all that separates the towns and the mills is the river and the international border the mill supports our local economy it's our largest employer probably on both sides of the border Gary Picart is the town manager of Madawaska Maine which sits in the northeast corner of the us he says the mills have been mutually beneficial it's an interesting operation because the pulp is made over in Canada and their electricity and steam are generated in Canada and routed via pipelines to the Finnish side of the manufacturing process here in Madawaska me nearly a century ago the Canadian company that owned a pulp mill in Edmonds to New Brunswick built the paper mill just across the river in Maine to avoid duties unfinished paper ever since trees of gone in on the Canada side and paper has come out in the United States the mills are now owned by Twin Rivers paper company about $500.00 employees of the main mill make products that include the packaging for Krispy Kreme and Tim Horton's donuts and the bags for Orville Redenbacher microwave popcorn another $350.00 people work at the pulp mill in New Brunswick with the border feud escalating many residents of these tight knit communities have been taken aback very surprised because you know what was a good relationships Norman Doucette who has been working at the matter was a mill for 40 years is taking a lunch break at the tasty freeze on Main Street freshly for. I mean we have a pulp mill in Canada so relationships have been very good so back and forth with Trudeau in front that's not very appealing but political tensions are only growing last year the Trump administration impose tariffs on the Canadian softwoods that are milled into 2 by fours and other dimensional lumber along contentious issue and on July 1st Canada imposed new tariffs in retaliation for u.s. Tariffs President Trump renewed his criticisms at a late June rally in South Carolina complaining about Canada's tariffs on dairy products Canada you know Canada nice guy nice guy. Prime Minister just I say just an what's your problem just such comments don't go over well on the Canadian side of the border Danny long a painter and Edmund Stan is one of many residents of the St John valley with dual citizenship I don't think that as far as 2 countries that are close knit together like that should even be talking to each other in such a way we should be asking ourselves How can we better help each other you know we're not used to that kind of rhetoric that's the mayor of Edmondson serial sin marred though it sounds better when he says it says Sima he says this valley was settled long ago by Acadians before the river became the international border most locals speak French you have families that settle here on both sides of this and on river or still families so we've been working and we've been living together so it is a fabric there that when you hear that kind of rhetoric a lot of people just wonder why is it this way and what could be the impact in the long journey. Down by the river a train carries chemicals to the pulp mill as a bald eagle flies past and the world's longest international border still seems to be tranquil for n.p.r. News I'm Marie carbon.

Has been reporting on family separations and the detention of migrants and she joins us hi alex Hi David So tell me how this court filing fits into that the larger picture that we've been covering here yeah so this is the latest filing in a long settlement agreement that basically sets the standards for how migrant kids should be treated in detention centers the filing includes hundreds of detailed vivid statements from kids and their parents explaining what they've experienced and what they've witnessed in government run detention facilities some of the kids describe being denied water or only being given food that smelled bad or was frozen and one boy particular talked about how he drank the water and it made his stomach feel funny there was another woman who said that she and her children were wearing wet clothing when they were detained because they had just crossed a river and she said that they stayed in their wet clothes in a room where the AC was turned up pretty high for 2 days straight and they weren't allowed to shower or change clothes so you have been reading this filing and getting all of these stories but but you've also been reporting on on one family yourself that experienced these detention facilities firsthand Tell me about. Who they are and what they had to say right so I met Lisa butt and her husband and their 3 small children the day that they were requesting asylum at the border this is a couple hours east of San Diego and they asked that I not use their last name because they're fleeing violence in Mexico they fear that criminal groups could find them where they are now here's part of an interview that I had with Elise at the Yemeni boy's death mean you know someone. Both So what is she telling you there about her experience. So she was held by Customs and Border Protection for 6 days and the conditions that she told me about that she described were very similar to what you read about in these court filings she talks about how freezing it was in the facility where they were held her and her children how there were bugs in the mats on the floor where they slept she said that her kids didn't get enough food they were given spaghetti with meat that smelled bad she noticed that they they were starting to lose weight and her one year old son was only being given formula while they were there but he needed solid food and he started to get sick and so she asked an officer for solid food for the baby and you can hear in the tape she says that the officer responded This isn't a 7 star hotel would do you want dead kids or skinny kids oh my god the officer said that that's what she said and I asked Customs and Border Protection about that and they didn't specifically respond to that allegation but that is what she said Where where is where is she now and her family. Elise about eventually gave up her asylum application like I said she was in custody for 6 days and she said that after those 6 days she says that she was never told when she was going to be leaving and so she said that she just couldn't stand to see her kids hungry anymore and then she voluntarily withdrew her claim for asylum she also says that out of the 9 other moms there are around 6 or 7 also which are their claims and she said that is now back in Mexico with her kids Alex hall from member station k.q.e.d.

Teenagers these days they are so constantly plugged into mobile devices texting friends checking social media streaming music while new studies suggest that all that screen time may put teenagers at risk of developing symptoms of a d h d N.P.R.'s research energy has more kids with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have trouble focusing and controlling their impulses or old fashioned screen time t.v. And video games has. Being shown to put kids at risk of this disorder psychologist Adam Leventhal wanted to know if modern screens phones tablets laptops also have a similar impact the new modern devices have such a high performance level they're so fast they're accessible all the time Leventhal is at the University of Southern California he and his colleagues studied high school students in Los Angeles County over a period of 2 years we worked with 10 high schools and we surveyed $2587.00 high school students at the beginning of 10th grade they gave the students a questionnaire listing the symptoms of the disorder a standard part of a.d.h. The diagnosis they only studied teens who showed no symptoms at the beginning of the study over the next 2 years the researchers came back every 6 months and surveyed the students again on their sometimes they also asked the students how frequently they participated in numerous mobile or online activities everything from social media use like Instagram to video streaming like natural acts to even texting they found that by and large the kids who were more heavily engaged with digital activities had a higher prevalence of symptoms in the group that did all of the listed activities many times a day one in 10 showed symptoms so to have 10 percent have an occurrence of new symptoms is fairly high now the study did not diagnose any kids with 80 h.t. The diagnosis requires a clinician but Leventhal says the appearance of symptoms over time Mr troubling Jenny redress key agrees she's a pediatrician at the University of Michigan's c.s. Mark Children's Hospital she wasn't involved in the new study which is published in The Journal of the American Medical Association is the 1st piece of longitudinal research where children have been followed over time and there have been very relevant measures. The type of media that children are using today says parents should spend time with their kids discussing and on packing what they do online and why they do it so that they don't feel the pressure to be on line constantly in order to feel social acceptance or to feel relevance and that she says can help them be more selective in their use of mobile devices.

And it is worth noting that just last year the e.u. Fined Google 2700000000 dollars for similar reasons Mark Scott is chief technology correspondent at Politico Good morning Mark good morning all right so we've got an antitrust fine here what exactly are European officials taking issue with so they're taking issue on how Google uses Android So 3 quarters of people both here in Europe in the States I have and we're based on what the European Commission is saying this morning is that Google used its Android software to promote its own dominance in regular traditional online search and what does that look like. So it means that if I'm a football make it a Samsung whole wall way the Chinese maker I if I want to use both Android and i have access to Google's very popular apps will call the place still I also must pre-install Google's both mobile browser Chrome as well as Google search and the idea being is exactly the end of the idea of being the commission European officials are saying that by linking those 2 having access to the Play Store with search and chrome that that is illegal always so what is Google say what they oversee are a few myths and are going to appeal in response to Smalling Google's c.e.o. Is said that you know Android is a pretty open free to use software and it believes it actually has helped competition not handed it interesting Google not backing down you are today on Twitter that not everyone will to hear this fine you've talked to app developers who are worried why. Yes So if I'm and I've developed a saying California or in Croatia or anywhere else they benefit from having a one stop shop when it comes to Android because 75 percent of cell phones use the software if they build an app to sit for Android they believe that they can then have access to a wider market and they are concerned at the moment if European officials. Open up the the software to to increase competition they'll have to do more work to make it work on different phones still have to build the app for every for everything else I just exactly will this is that tell Google operates in the United States this is a fine in Europe by the European Union will Americans see anything different now that is the 64000000 dollar question right now as part of the remedies that the European officials have demanded they've asked to go to open up Android to greater competition allowing other search apps and other web browsers to have a great a say The question is will this be limited solely to Europe or will Google apply this to across the global ecosystem that right now is unknown I think Google in if it can will limit this to Europe but it might spread into other areas including the u.s. And it's interesting to think about how u.s. Regulators will respond to this Mark Scott is chief technology correspondent at Politico thanks so much Mark thank you. I today is the late Nelson Mandela's 100th birthday Mandela was South Africa's 1st democratically elected and 1st black president the days being commemorated and celebrated all over the country and beyond and there is a new book out It features many of Mandela's previously unpublished letters from prison letters to his family all sort of friends and associates N.P.R.'s a fairly a quick start in has been reading the letters and reflecting on Mandela's legacy. As I go right at the book or not. But most of. You out Nelson Mandela's distinctive voice rallying South Africans and preaching reconciliation togetherness and justice today Mandela would have turned 100 and his message would likely be the same let that be justice for all justice for all South Africans regardless of race or creed young South Africans recognize that huge sacrifices were made by Mandela and other freedom fighters who fought back to aid their many I ask whether the struggle for freedom by the elders has borne fruit for the younger generations in the way their leaders had hoped Barack Obama was invited to give the annual lecture on arriving Nelson Mandela and spoke yesterday in Johannesburg Obama says Mandela remains a shining beacon and example of selfless service to others I believe in Nelson Mandela's vision. I believe in the vision shared by Gandhi and King and Abraham Lincoln. I believe in a vision of equality and justice and freedom and multiracial democracy built on the premise that all people are created equal and they're endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights Obama mounted a passionate defense of democracy and without mentioning names warned against the rise of strongman politics in style contrast to Mandela's consensual style of leadership now you're hearing people talk about the end of democracy and the triumph of tribalism and the strong man. We have to resist that substance here in London one of Nelson Mandela's granddaughters. Me Mandela has been promoting a new book about her grandfather as part of the centenary celebrations meaning Mandela wrote the foreword to the prison letters of Nelson Mandela has the 2 most of the published letters he wrote to family friends and others from jail between 162-1990. When I returned to South Africa in July of 1962 I saw you and since he twice and this was the last time we met I have been longing to see you ever since you will be able to pay me a visit in 1975 where you will have turned 16 but I'm growing impatient. In the coming 5 years even longer than he did I mean Mandela read in one of her grandfather's letters to his daughters and then in 1971 in a promotional video for the new book This also an intimate and touching collection of Mandela's missives gives us a deeper insight into how he struggled being an absent father and husband writing to his loved ones from his prison cell.

New York I'm Tracey Samuelson in for David Brancaccio The European Commission is setting a new record for antitrust fines hitting Google with a $5000000000.00 penalty over its Android phones and tablets the commission says Google forced device makers to pre-install apps like its browser and search and in some cases paid them to make sure no other search apps got pre-installed that gave the company an unfair advantage and valuable user data they could use to target ads according to the Google has denied it her competition here to discuss is Eleanor Fox She's a professor at New York University School of Law Helen r. Hi Tracy this man against Google is a global record but how significant is the decision and how significant might that fine be for Google. This is ruling is very significant it is on the cutting edge of the law it defines power the power of Google in a newer but call it progressive way than traditional antitrust can affect the way many companies in the digital economy operate when they have 2 sided markets and they charge for that they service Ok So Google will have to make some changes can you give me a couple examples and how important will those changes be for global rights as they were 3 big things that Google won't be able to do they're mostly in the line of tying him bundling it can't prevent manufacturers using the Android operating system from pre-installed when Google search and Google Chrome the changes can be very significant they certainly would prevent go from a source of revenues and get data from having the tie ins and it shows its advertising space more dearly because of having more data to sell to the advertisers so it cuts up a stream of revenue Google has announced that it will appeal this decision but if it's not successful do you think that this e.u. Decision. Could affect how Google operates here in the us to paint all of these decisions almost necessarily have what we call execute her Tauriel impact So Google has to take a look to see whether it can actually maintain 2 ways of doing things and whether it can do it as a practical matter or whether it just wouldn't work so it might have to conform with the e.u. Judgement Ok Eleanor Fox is a professor at New York University School of Law Thanks so much on our new weapon. And now let's do the numbers. Google spirit company alphabet is. Less than half a percent the Dow Jones industrial average and as n.p.r. Both up about 110th of a percent that's $28.00 points for the Dow the Nasdaq is up 3 tenths percent.

Since October's mass shooting in Las Vegas more than 2500 victims and relatives have sued or threatened to sue m.g.m. Resorts for negligence the company owns Mandalay Bay Resort where the gunman was perched and the concert venue where 58 people were killed and hundreds more injured now m.g.m. Is filing its own lawsuit against some of those victims to get their cases thrown out Marketplace's Aaron Schrank explains instead of fighting victims' claims one by one and g.m. Wants them all dismissed in one fell swoop with this lawsuit Heidi we Feldman is a law professor at Georgetown University Law Center what they're saying is court please declare that they can't sue us in state court because such lawsuits are preempted by this other statute called the Safety Act that was passed after 911 to protect companies developing anti-terrorism technology from lawsuits if things went wrong and g.m. Says it's protected because the security firm it used that night is certified by the Department of Homeland Security marketing professor Barbara caught at the Wharton School says this might work as a legal strategy but you also have where is it that you your customers and this seems like kind of the tone their announcement usually companies don't want to fight with victims but experts say with a mass shooting of this size and cost and g.m. Is going to greater lengths to avoid liability I'm Erin shrank from Marketplace less than 4 months to go until the midterm elections and candidates across the country are raising record amounts of cash someone has to pay for all those t.v. Ads campaign mailers online marketing Well we've got new numbers this week on just how much the campaigns and political committees are bringing in regular basis can really Adams is following us from d.c. Hey came early Hi Tracy So tell me what's the tally. We're looking at more than a $1000000000.00 raised overall this cycle for House races and about $745000000.00 of that has already been spent for the Senate races there's been almost $500000000.00 raised and close to half of that has already been spent so of course there are lots more House races as opposed to Senate races and the really tough crowded primaries on the House side really hyped up those numbers but just one side Republican or Democrat do just one times seem to have an edge over the other at this point it really depends on how you're looking at the money I asked Robert McGuire about this he's with the Center for Responsive Politics which tracks money in politics I don't think the numbers here show oh well there's more enthusiasm on the Republican side of the Democratic side because they do raise their money in different ways for example in several key individual races like the Missouri Senate race and several Texas House races Democrats seem to have an advantage because their candidates are outraising their opponents on the other hand McGuire points out the main g.o.p. Super Pac has raised almost $100000000.00 this cycle and that group can spend its money anywhere so even if an individual campaign out raises an opponent the outside money can really tip the scales. Marketplace's Kimberly Adams in Washington thanks and finally the Girl Scouts have announced the addition of some new and very timely badges 30 new categories the groups the group says are meant to address some of today's most pressing needs ready for the list cyber security environmental advocacy mechanical engineering robotics space exploration Oh to be young again in New York I'm Tracey Samuelson with the Marketplace Morning Report Go get em girls and says Aspen Public Radio broadcasting and Aspen and k.c.
