SACRAMENTO — California and three other states on Friday ﬁ led the latest court challenge to new Trump administration rules blocking green cards for many immigrants who use public assistance including Medic- aid, food stamps and housing vouchers. Nearly half of Americans would be con- sidered a burden if the same standards were applied to U.S. citizens, said California Attorney General Xavier Becerra. “This Trump rule weaponizes nutrition, health care and housing,” Becerra said, by potentially blocking legal immigrants from becoming citizens “if your child participates in something as basic as your neighborhood school lunch or nutrition program.” The lawsuit he ﬁ led in U.S. District Court in San Francisco follows others this week including those by Washington and 12 other states and by two California counties. Join- ing California are Maine, Oregon and Penn- sylvania, as well as the District of Columbia. Thirteen immigrant advocacy and legal groups led by La Clínica de la Raza ﬁ led a separate lawsuit Friday in the same court, arguing the regulation was motivated by racial bias. The lawsuits all contest one of Republi- can President Donald Trump’s most aggres- sive moves to restrict legal immigration. A spokesman for the White House declined comment. John A. Banta Gearhart Dec. 21, 1929 — Aug. 14, 2019 John Banta was born to George and Anna Banta at the family home in Olney on Dec. 21, 1929, one of seven children. During his childhood the family moved to Warrenton, then Seaside, where he worked the family farm. During his young adult years, he seined ﬁ sh with horses on the Columbia River, worked as a cowboy on a ranch in Wyoming, then moved on to Arkansas to work on an oil rig. He was a jack-of-all-trades, and could magically ﬁ x anything that was broken. He enlisted in the Army and served as a medic during the Korean War. After his return he started his logging career, which lasted until his retirement. He married his life love, Sally, on May 1, 1954. She passed away after 65 years of mar- riage on April 12, 2019. His real passions were his family, riding his tractor on his 10 acres and traveling with Sally throughout the Northwest and Alaska. John loved to share stories of his life with his children and grandchildren. He never ran out of tales to tell. John was preceded in death by his wife, Sally, his brother, Fred, and his sister, Lavina. John is survived by his ﬁ ve children, Jane, John (Jo), Lee (Teri), Susan and Mary; eight grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; broth- ers, Elmer, George and Bobby, sister, Wanda (Sis); brother and sister-in-law, Mike and Les- lie Honan; sister and brother-in-law, Patricia and Jeff Ross; and a large extended family. A viewing with be held Monday, Aug. 19, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. at Hughes-Ransom Mortuary in Seaside. Burial will be at Ocean View Cemetery at 2 p.m. Pac-12: Ducks QB returns for senior season Continued from Page A8 Herbert’s return Quarterback Justin Herbert returned to Oregon for his senior season, and he’ll ﬁ nally have the same coach in consecutive years. Mario Cristobal’s Ducks should contend for their ﬁ rst league title since 2014 if Herbert takes another step from his 3,000-yard sea- son last fall. Herbert calls it “a huge bonus” to have the same coaching staff for the ﬁ rst time: “We go from having spent all this time learning to teaching. We’re able to reach out to those younger guys, get them dialed up and up to speed so they are able to jump in as soon as we can.” Huskies recharge Although Washington is heading into its biggest rebuilding season in a half-decade after losing 13 starters from last year’s cham- pions, quarterback Jacob Eason has hopes running high in Seattle. The touted local product returned from Georgia last season in hopes of replacing four-year starter Jake Browning this fall. Petersen insists Eason is competing with sophomore Jake Haener in camp, but most expect Eason and running back Salvon Ahmed to step in for Huskies stalwarts Browning and Myles Gaskin. SEVENDAY FORECAST FOR ASTORIA TODAY SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY Hickenlooper ends White House bid, mulls Senate run in 2020 DENVER — Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper on Thursday ended his longshot bid for the Democratic presiden- tial nomination and said he may instead challenge one of the most vulnerable Senate Republicans in 2020. Colorado’s shift to the left could put Sen. Cory Gardner’s seat in jeopardy for Repub- licans, and at least 10 Democrats have launched campaigns, setting up a competi- tive primary even before Hickenlooper, 67, makes a decision. Hickenlooper became a leading ﬁ gure in Colorado with his quirky, consensus-driven and unscripted approach to politics. He once jumped out of a plane to promote a ballot measure to increase state spending, and he won two statewide elections during years of Republican waves. He also was Denver’s mayor. He positioned himself as a common-sense candidate who couldn’t be labeled a “social- ist” by Republicans. But he couldn’t make his voice heard in the crowded Democratic ﬁ eld of about two dozen candidates. N. Korea ﬁ res more projectiles, rules out talks with South Israel bars US congresswomen, SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea on with a nudge from Trump Friday bluntly criticized South Korean Presi- JERUSALEM — With a push from Pres- ident Donald Trump, Israel on Thursday barred two Muslim-American congress- women from entering the country for a visit, an extraordinary step bringing the longtime U.S. ally into Trump’s domestic ﬁ ght against political rivals at home. The U.S. president is essentially relying on Israel to retaliate against two freshman lawmakers, Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michi- gan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, who are both outspoken critics of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. They are also part of the “squad” of liberal newcomers — all women of color — whom Trump has labeled the face of the Democratic Party as he runs for reelection. dent Moon Jae-in for continuing to hold mil- itary exercises with the U.S. and over his rosy comments on inter-Korean diplomacy, and said Pyongyang has no current plans to talk with Seoul. The statement came hours before South Korea’s military detected two projectiles North Korea ﬁ red into the sea to extend a torrid streak of weapons display that’s appar- ently aimed at pressuring Washington and Seoul over their joint drills and slow nuclear negotiations. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the projectiles launched from the North’s eastern coast ﬂ ew about 143 miles on an apogee of 18 miles before landing in waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.

Those Bruins largely got a pass due to the program’s steady decline in Jim Mora’s ﬁ nal seasons, and they also beat USC. But the deep- pocketed UCLA boosters who attracted Kelly will be looking for some return on their investment this fall, and they might get it if Kelly ﬁ elds an improved offense around quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson. The U.S. and South Korean militaries were analyzing the launches but didn’t immedi- ately say whether the weapons were ballistic missiles or rocket artillery. The North has ignored South Korean calls for dialogue recently and is seen as try- ing to force Seoul to make stronger efforts to coax major concessions from Washington on its behalf.
