2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2017 First responders pay tribute to Sgt. Goodding Oregon backs Washington state lawsuit Associated Press SALEM — Oregon Attor- ney General Ellen Rosenblum’s offi ce said it is joining the legal fi ght playing out against Presi- dent Donald Trump’s immigra- tion travel ban. Rosenblum said Monday that Oregon is supporting Washington state’s lawsuit against Trump’s executive order by signing a friend of the court brief in the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals along with more than a dozen other states. Last week a federal judge in Seattle ordered a tem- porary halt to Trump’s order Ellen banning the Rosenblum entry of peo- ple from seven Muslim-majority countries. Rosenblum said Monday her offi ce is ready to assist in the Washington state lawsuit however it can. Rosenblum also said she will seek to have Oregon added to the lawsuit. A federal appellate court has scheduled telephone oral arguments for this afternoon in a lawsuit over the president’s travel and refugee ban. The San Francisco-based 9th Circuit will hear from law- yers from the federal govern- ment and states suing Trump. Washington state and Min- nesota sued Trump last week, saying the ban harmed res- idents and effectively man- dated discrimination. The Jus- tice Department says the issue is a matter of national security and Trump’s executive order was well within his authority. One-year anniversary brings tributes By R.J. MARX The Daily Astorian No further searches planned for missing woman The Daily Astorian The Clatsop County Sheriff’s Offi ce announced it has no further searches planned for the woman who went missing in Elsie in January. Brianna Renee Judge, 23, was last seen leaving an apartment on Jan. 10. Residents located a pair of boots after a ground search on Jan. 22 on the Highway 103 bridge near Tweedle Road. Judge is believed to have worn the boots on the night of her disappearance. A water and ground search on Jan. 28 as well as several air searches did not lead to any additional clues. Deputies said they are still investigating, but there is no evidence to establish that Judge’s disappearance is the result of a criminal act. Anyone with information regarding the case is encour- aged to call 503-325-2061. Senate confi rms education secretary after 50-50 tie Associated Press WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden and U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon voted against school choice activ- ist Betsy DeVos as education secretary, but the controversial nominee was confi rmed today after Vice President Mike Pence broke a 50-50 tie. The Senate historian says it was the fi rst time a vice president had to break a tie on a Cabinet nomination. Two Republicans joined Democrats today to vote to derail DeVos’ nomination. Democrats cited her lack of public school experience and fi nancial interests in orga- nizations pushing charter schools. DeVos has said she would divest herself from those organizations. Republicans Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkow- ski of Alaska fear that DeVos’ focus on charter schools will undermine remote public schools in their states. In an earlier tweet, Pres- ident Donald Trump wrote “Betsy DeVos is a reformer, and she is going to be a great Education Sec. for our kids!” FIVE-DAY FORECAST FOR ASTORIA TONIGHT WEDNESDAY THURSDAY 46 44 34 Cloudy most of the time Tillamook 36/51 Salem 38/48 Newport 41/53 Last New Feb 18 Coos Bay 47/59 First Feb 26 Source: Jim Todd, OMSI TOMORROW'S TIDES Astoria / Port Docks Time 4:47 a.m. 5:55 p.m. Low 3.0 ft. -0.6 ft.

I don’t think our police offi cers get thanked enough.” Rankin said lessons could be gained from the tragedy. “As terrible as it is and was, I think it’s also helped to bring us closer together,” he said. “To realize at times of crisis it can bring us together and become a better family and it’s helped to up our opera- tional and planning stages as far. We’re a small town. Bad things can happen down here. We need to be prepared for them.” Seaside’s Jay Pitman, commander and president of the Clatsop County Sons of Beaches, a four-wheel drive club, paid his respects. “I’ve got current military, veterans, and active duty per- sonnel who have been out here all evening to show their sup- port,” Pitman said. “You’ve heard the slogan ‘I’ve got your back.’ That’s why we’re here. This vigilance is to show the R.J. Marx Photo/The Daily Astorian Seaside Fire Department Div. Chief Dave Rankin and Div.

The Columbia County Sheriff’s Offi ce is reviewing an incident where a deputy called a fi re department “dodos” and an assault victim lying in the street a “speed bump.” Columbia County Sheriff Jeffrey M. Dickerson told The Oregonian that a meeting is planned to discuss the matter. Authorities say the recorded 911 calls made to the on-call deputy’s home occurred at about 2:15 a.m. on Jan. 15. The deputy asked to have the Clatskanie Fire Depart- ment respond as it would be faster. The dispatcher called back to say the fi re department requested law enforcement, prompting the ‘dodos’ remark from the deputy. Dickerson says the deputy correctly determined the vic- tim would be best served if the fi re department responded immediately.

Jason Goodding, with an overnight vigil in front of the Pig ’N Pancake. Throughout the night Sun- day and over the day Mon- day, fi rst responders, residents and visitors came to pay their respects to Goodding, who was shot and killed in the line of duty trying to apprehend Phillip Max Ferry on a felony warrant. His death brought an out- pouring of support from the community and emergency personnel around the nation. Sunday marked one year since his death. “We remember our fallen hero every day, but this eve- ning we begin a memo- rial watch that will con- tinue through early tomorrow night,” the police depart- ment posted on its Facebook page, garnering hundreds of responses and shares. “Every two hours, Seaside P olice offi cers, Seaside fi refi ghters and other local agencies will change post while releasing a blue balloon, honoring the leg- acy of an incredible individual. We miss you, Jason.” At the scene, in prayers and in tears, visitors paid tribute to Goodding. The vigil began Sunday at 8:30 p.m., Seaside Fire Chief Joey Daniels said, a tribute to the hour of the shooting. Seaside Fire Department Div. Chief Chris Dugan and volunteer Roy Dague stood watch Monday morning, sta- tioned in front of the wreath dedicated to Goodding.
