Hammond. McCormick was

Shirley (Julian) Leigh
Bend
April 22, 1937 — Feb. 18, 2017
Shirley Leigh passed away at the age of 79
in Bend, Oregon.
Shirley was born in Astoria to Arthur and Fran-
ces Julian and lived her life there until 2011, when
her health concerns led her to move to c entral Ore-
gon to be closer to family. Shirley was married to
Michael Leigh for many years, and together they
raised two daughters, Teri and Rene.
Shirley was a medical transcriptionist prior
to her retirement in 1999. She was a member
of Beta Sigma Phi, Home Extension and was a
4-H garden club leader. She also enjoyed gar-
dening, sewing, garage sales and traveling to
such locations as Nepal, Tibet, Egypt, China,
Italy, Greece and Germany.
Shirley is survived by two grandsons and
her two daughters.

Judge grants Oregon’s request
to join the travel ban lawsuit
By PARIS ACHEN
Capital Bureau
SALEM — A federal judge
has granted Oregon’s request
to join Washington’s lawsuit
challenging President Donald
Trump’s fi rst travel ban on cit-
izens of seven predominantly
Muslim countries.
Since a federal appeals court
affi rmed a restraining order on
the ban, Trump has issued a
second executive order banning
citizens of six Muslim-major-
ity countries for 90 days and
all refugees for 120 days. The
new travel ban has already
drawn a separate legal chal-
lenge from Hawaii. A federal
judge in that state has agreed
to hear Hawaii’s request for a
temporary restraining order on
Wednesday .
“I am pleased that sev-
eral state attorneys general
are combining our resources
to continue to fi ght the presi-
dent’s attempt to fulfi ll a cam-
paign promise of banning
Muslims from entering the
United States,” said Oregon
Attorney General Ellen Rosen-
blum in a statement Thursday .
“Though repackaged, the pres-
ident’s revised executive order
has the same discriminatory
intent as the fi rst one.”
Washington Attorney Gen-
eral Bob Ferguson announced
that he will amend the law-
suit early next week to include
Oregon, New York and possi-
bly other states.
“The president lost the fi rst
round in court. We will con-
tinue to assert the Constitution
and the rule of law in arguing
that his second attempt is seri-
ously fl awed and should join
its sister executive order in the
trash bin of history.”
Trump’s fi rst executive
order, signed in January , indef-
initely banned Syrian refu-
gees and temporarily blocked
other refugees and citizens of
seven majority-Muslim coun-
tries from entering the United
States. The order came after
Trump promised during his
campaign a “total and com-
plete shutdown of Muslims
entering the United States,”
according to court records.
Federal Judge James
Robart in Seattle in February
temporarily halted enforce-
ment of the order nation-
wide after Washington Attor-
ney General Ferguson argued
that the order would harm his
state’s interests. The state’s
lawsuit also claims the order
is unconstitutional because
it discriminates on the basis
of religion. The 9th U.S. Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals unani-
mously upheld Robart’s tem-
porary restraining order.

The fast response cutter John F. McCormick, named after a
former officer on the lifeboat Triumph at Pt. Adams Lifesav-
ing Station, is stopping in Astoria over the weekend.
SALEM — Gov. Kate
Brown’s staff met with mem-
bers of the Treasurer’s Offi ce
Wednesday as part of the gov-
ernor’s efforts to get traction
for her plan to avoid selling the
Elliott State Forest.
About 82,500 acres of the
forest in Coos and Douglas
counties is up for sale to a pri-
vate partnership between a
timber company, Lone Rock
Resources, and the Cow Creek
Band of Umpqua Tribe of
Indians.
The land is currently
required to provide rev-
enues for the Common
School Fund, which is basi-
cally an endowment for pub-
lic education.
Treasurer Tobias Read
and Secretary of State Den-
nis Richardson serve along-
side the governor as part of the
State Land Board, the govern-
ing body for Common School
Fund trust lands such as the
Elliott. Read and Richardson
voted in favor of continuing
with the privatization proposal
last month.
The governor has pro-
posed an alternative using the
state’s bond capacity to pay for
a portion of the forest, which
would require approval by the
Legislature.
Brown cannot lobby either
Read or Richardson directly
because their meeting on
board business would consti-
tute a quorum of the board, and
would be subject to the state’s
open meetings law.
Brown told reporters at a
press conference Wednesday
that she was hopeful her offi ce
could put together a public
ownership plan for the Elliott
State Forest that a majority of
state legislators would approve.
