Program FROM PAGE 1 By Michael Biesecker and Sam Hananel The Associated Press WASHINGTON Hours after President Donald Trump signed an executive order seeking to undo his prede- cessor's efforts to curb cli- mate change, his adminis- tration has asked a federal appeals court to postpone ruling on lawsuits over Obama-era restrictions on carbon emissions. The regulations — known as the Clean Power Plan — have been the sub- ject of long-running le- gal challenges by about two dozen mostly Repub- lican-led states and indus- try groups that profit from burning coal. The U.S. Court of Ap- peals for the District of Co- lumbia Circuit heard argu- ments in the case last year and could issue a ruling any time. "Because the rule is un- der agency review and may be significantly modified or rescinded through further rulemaking in accordance with the executive order, holding this case in abey- ance is the most efficient and logical course of ac- tion here," lawyers for the Justice Department said in their motion late Tuesday. A coalition of 16 mostly Democratic-led states and environmental groups in- volved in the legal case say they will oppose the ad- ministration's request for a delay. A ruling in favor of the carbon restrictions from the D.C. appeals court could help blunt the Trump administration's efforts to undo them and put the is- sue before the U.S. Supreme Court. Rewriting the Clean Power Plan and other car- bon-limiting federal regula- tions is likely to take years to complete and is expected to face legal challenges from big Democratic-lean- ing states as New York and California. In a call with reporters, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said presidents don't have legal authority to just do away with Environmental Pro- tection Agency regulations with the stroke of a pen. Trump's executive order did not attempt to with- draw a key 2009 EPA ruling that greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide endanger the public's health and wel- fare. The Trump adminis- tration is also bound by a 2007 Supreme Court ruling that requires the federal agency to regulate planet- warming carbon emissions. "We're very confident that the EPA can't simply dismantle the Clean Power Plan and leave nothing in its place," said Schneider- man, a Democrat. "We re- gret the fact that the pres- ident is trying to dial back history, but it's not going to happen." Meanwhile, members of the conservative coalition that sued to stop Obama's plan were already declaring a "monumental victory" for their side. "President Trump's de- cisive action lets everyone know this unlawful, job- killing regulation will find no support in his adminis- tration," said West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey. "That's a tremen- dous relief for every coal miner and family that de- pends upon coal's success.

Conser- vative commentator Arm- strong Williams said he thought Waters' heated rhet- oric was "very sad, very dis- appointing, and just not the kindoflegacythatshewould want to be remembered by." Fox News personality Bill O'Reilly said earlier in the weekthathehadahardtime concentrating on a Waters speech because he was dis- tractedbyher"JamesBrown wig." He apologized later in the day. Waters tweeted: "I am a strong black woman. I can- not be intimidated, and I'm not going anywhere." Waters skipped Trump's first address to Congress af- ter calling him abnormal, "potentially dangerous for this country," an all-around horrible bully who offends her and most of America withhisrunawaymouthand uncouth actions. Another day, she called Trump offen- sive, potentially dangerous, someone who may eventu- ally warrant impeachment and a male chauvinist pig who bragged about groping women — all in one sitting. The memes, the retweets and the pictures of her reac- tions have gotten her lot of traction with the younger crowd, said Rashad Robin- son, executive director of on- line civil rights group Color of Change. "In this moment of fac- ing an authoritarian rac- ist who tweets constantly, it feels nice to see someone on our side who isn't afraid," he said. Waters says she is not say- ing outrageous things for at- tention, to build a legacy or perhaps aspire to higher of- fice. "This is not sour grapes. This is not politics as usual," Waterssaid."Youcan'tmake this up. This is who I am." Waters' outspokenness certainly is nothing new. While serving in the Cali- fornia Assembly from 1977- 91, Waters broke into the na- tional scene by pushing her state to divest from South Africa because of its govern- ment-sanctioned system of racial apartheid. Her stand is still remembered fondly by black lawmakers in Cali- fornia, said Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif. "She is known historically to be at the forefront of re- sisting injustice, and so to me what's happening now is consistent to her lifelong commitment to fighting for civilrightsandagainstinjus- tice," Bass said. Waters' district includes portions of Los Angeles and surrounding cities, and she gained attention in Wash- ington for bringing sup- plies to south central Los Angeles after the Rodney King riots and for passion- ately opposing the war in Iraq. A former Congres- sional Black Caucus chair- woman, Waters pushed to end the Cuban trade em- bargo and called for in- vestigations into allega- tions that government in- telligence agencies were behind the crack epidemic in Los Angeles. Waters was also critical when Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was deposed; he blamed his push from power on the United States. Waters first entered poli- tics as an aide to Los Ange- les City Councilman Dave Cunningham and she's been comfortablyre-electedinher district even after the House Ethics Committee charged her with helping a bank con- nected to her husband. She was ultimately cleared. "Far too often African- American female leaders are charged with being an- gry, but it is really serious- ness and a commitment she is exuding," said Nicole Lee, former president of ad- vocacy group TransAfrica, who called herself a mentee of Waters. When asked about Wa- ters' suggestions on im- peachment earlier this year, White House press secre- tary Sean Spicer said despite "these little political stunts on the House side, the bot- tom line is I think, by and large, you see the support that the president's receiv- ing for his policies through- out the country." One of her most popular moments online is her reac- tion to a top-secret congres- sional briefing by FBI Direc- tor James Comey on accu- sations of Russian hacking during Trump's campaign. An obviously angry Waters walked up to some micro- phones reporters had set up for departing attendees and glared at the cameras. "Can I help you? What do you want?" she shot at re- porters. When asked what Comeysaid,afrustratedWa- ters threw up her hands. "It's classified, and I can't tell you anything. All I can tell you is the FBI director has no credibility," Waters snarled, and walked away. When asked about that day, Waters said she thinks her words are vibing with young activists because of her unvarnished honesty about what she's feeling. "We moan and groan all the time about a lack of in- volvement of young people," she said. "But they have taught me a lot about what moves them. It seems like all they are looking for is some honesty and some truth and somebody that they can be- lieve in."

CAROLINELOUISEBURTON April 11, 1932 ~ February 7, 2017 Caroline Louise (Cary) Burton died on February 7, 2017, in Chico. She was 84. The latter part of her life was shaped by the untimely deaths of family members, beginning with her beloved husband, Kenneth Burton, who died of Lou Gehrig's disease in 1998. His death was followed by that of her daughter Anne Bur- ton, in 2005; her mother, in 2009; her daughter Mollie Fiedler, in 2011; and her son Jeffrey Burton, in 2016. Throughout these al- most unbearable losses, Cary soldiered on, attending to the needs of each family member as they fell ill and finally succum- bed. She is survived by her remaining child, Lisa Burton, her grandsons Oliver and Kenneth Fiedler their wives Dianne and Danielle, grandson Jake Cevallos, granddaughter Katie McFadyen, and by her sisters Suzanne Sutherland and Nancy Peterson—all of whom supported her through each loss. Cary was born on April 11, 1932, the daughter of Marian Burum and Clarence Stevenson. Her early years were spent in her birthplace, Dinuba, California, and then Mar- tinez, where her father worked for Shell Oil. She attended school in Martinez, graduating from Alhambra Union High School in 1950. On June 25th, shortly after her gradua- tion, she married Kenneth Burton, who was four years her senior. While still in Martinez, Cary worked for Child Services and Ken was employed by the Contra Costa County Pub- lic Works Department as a surveyor and civil engineer. In the early 1950's, they moved to Pleasant Hills, where they started their family, beginning with Mollie, who was born in 1952. Their next move was to Mill Valley, where Ken was a partner in the Rhodes and Burton Engineering and Surveying firm, and then to Red Bluff, where Ken became Deputy Director of Public Works for Tehama County. During those years, Cary held various part-time jobs, in- cluding positions in doctor's offices, as a teacher's aide, and various roles with the Red Cross, although her pri- mary focus was on homemaking and child care. Because her daughter, Anne, was disabled, Cary became an activist on behalf of children with disabilities, lobbying for special education classes in public schools. Because she was a fan of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books, she gave presentations at schools and other organizations, which resulted in more than one invitation to become a curator at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum. She and Ken were al- so active members of the Red Cross, providing aid in the aftermath of disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and fires. In her later years, after moving to Chico, Cary joined the First Christian Church of Chico, where her involve- ment with various women's groups provided her with support and friendships and which she provided in re- turn. Cary Burton was a smart, capable, and resilient woman who faced problems head on, handling crises with deter- mination and pluck. At the same time, she was sociable companion, making her easy to like. She was a devoted mother and grandmother and is missed by her large ex- tended family and the many friends she made throughout her life. Memorial services will be held on April 8th, 2017, at 1:00 PM at the First Christian Church of Chico, 295 East Washington Avenue, Chico. A reception will follow at the Chico Mobile Country Club. Donations in her name can be made to Shriners Hospital for Children (www.shriners hospitalsforchildren.org).
