2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2018 Buehler joins Brown in calling for delay in Kavanaugh vote Republican wants FBI investigation By AUBREY WIEBER Capital Bureau State Rep. Knute Bue- hler joined Gov. Kate Brown Thursday in calling for a halt to the U.S. Supreme Court nominating process for Brett Kavanaugh following a con- tentious, daylong hearing in Washington, D.C. The Republican guber- natorial hopeful has previ- ously declined to weigh in on the sexual assault alle- gations against Kavanaugh. That changed after the hear- ing before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee involv- ing questioning of Kavana- ugh and his principal accuser, Christine Blasey Ford. “Professor Ford and Judge Kavanaugh have both pre- sented compelling testi- mony,” Buehler stated in an email. “I believe there should be a FBI investigation before the Senate votes on the nomination.” Buehler, through a spokes- woman, declined to elabo- rate or answer direct ques- tions. Through the week, as the scandal has captivated the nation, some Oregon elected offi- cials criticized Buehler for staying quiet. Across Rep. Knute the state, Buehler the hearing was closely watched as Kavanaugh’s influence on the court could have large implications for Oregonians. “My opponent has said that reproductive health care is settled law,” Gov. Kate Brown said in an interview following the hearing. “I think it is really clear that if this appointee is confirmed, that is no longer the case. I think it is critically important when there are issues facing Oregonians.” The Kavanaugh hearing, and women’s issues, have crept to the forefront of the governor’s race, now shown to be neck-and-neck. Brown said with such intense interest in the nomination process, the governor — whomever it may be following the November election — should “speak up.” On Tuesday, state House Majority Leader Jennifer Williamson, D-Portland, and Rep. Julie Fahey, D-Eugene, sounded off on Buehler’s vot- ing record involving wom- Naselle School locked down during police chase Two fleeing men were captured en’s issues, and his earlier silence on the Kavanaugh allegations. “It’s sometimes hard to believe that in 2018, our access to reproductive health care is still under attack,” Fahey said. The legislators went on to poke at related statements Buehler made in the past, referencing an appearance he made on the Lars Larson radio show in May. “I have a record in the Leg- islature of voting against Gov. Brown’s efforts to expand access to abortion,” Buehler said on the show. “Listen, I think we have other priorities where spending should go other than to expand access to abortion. We need to make abortion as rare as possible and that’s a goal I think lots of us can share.” During Thursday’s hear- ing, Buehler’s campaign pushed out on social media ads featuring women, includ- ing one about women’s repro- ductive health. On Monday, Brown joined dozens of legislators — mostly women — in a walk- out at the Capitol. Then, and again on Thursday, the Dem- ocrat said she believes Ford and the other women who have accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting them. By NATALIE ST. JOHN Chinook Observer NASELLE, Wash. — Naselle School went on lock- down for 90 minutes on Thursday morning while law enforcement officers hunted for two fleeing suspects. Around 9:51 a.m., the driver of a 2000 Chevy pickup blew past a Washington state trooper who was parked on the side of State Route 401. The trooper clocked the driver going 77 mph in a 55 mph zone, according to a Washington State Patrol press release. The trooper attempted to stop the northbound truck, but the driver allegedly ignored his lights and sirens, accelerating to 105 mph as he entered the 45 SATURDAY SUNDAY 50 66 51 Increasing cloudiness Mostly cloudy, not as warm; a p.m. shower ALMANAC The Daily Astorian 66 49 Turning cloudy Times of clouds and sun New Salem 51/71 Newport 52/63 Oct 8 Full Oct 16 Baker 36/79 ON THE RECORD Lakeview 39/71 Forecasts and graphics provided by AccuWeather, Inc. ©2018 Tonight's Sky: The constellation Scutum, the shield, is visible in the south this evening.

The driver reportedly continued north and ran a stop sign. When he tried to turn left onto State Route 4, he lost control of the pickup and went into a ditch in front of Naselle School. The driver and his passenger fled the scene on foot, heading in different directions. By that point, other troopers and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife officers had joined the pursuit. Troopers chased the driver, Justin Michael Forsman, 29, of Shelton, onto a grass field, where he was appre- hended and placed under arrest. The passenger, Jordan Kay Kink, 31, of Burien, ran toward the school, went past the front entrance and continued onto State Route 4. Troopers and Fish and Wildlife officers later found him near Torppa Road, south of the school, and arrested him without incident.
