Lawsuit: Fire, explosion are still under investigation by police
Continued from Page 1A
Oei could not immediately
be reached for comment.
Magley suffered burns to
more than 20 percent of his
body, spent a month at the
Legacy Oregon Burn Cen-
ter in Portland and has been
undergoing outpatient rehabil-
itation and physical therapy.
The suit claims Higher
Level’s production space vio-
lated multiple fire-protec-
tion and workplace-safety
laws through the lack of an
automatic sprinkler, fire and
smoke alarms, liquefied petro-
leum gas detectors, adequate
venting, an explosion sup-
pression system, signed exits,
suitable fire control devices,
emergency lighting and a
safety shower.
Magley’s lawyers issued
written notices about the law-
suit to all the defendants last
week.
The fire and explosion are
still under investigation by the
Astoria Police Department,
the Oregon State Police and
the Clatsop County District
Attorney’s Office. District
Attorney Josh Marquis said
he wants to contact the attor-
ney for Magley and incorpo-
rate information from the case
into the investigation.
Many defendants
Oei and West leased the
production space at the cor-
ner of Industry and Portway
streets from building owner
Richard Delphia, who is being
sued along with his compa-
nies Dick & John LLC, Dick’s
LTD, Dirick Properties, D&D
Gas Inc. and Delphia Enter-
prises Inc. Subleasing an
upstairs storefront from Oei
and West was Sweet Relief
Astoria, named as another
defendant.
Also named as defendants
were Under the Bridge Cig-
arettes in Astoria and UTB
Investments, both compa-
nies run by regional cigarette
and marijuana store finan-
cier John Harper. The suit
claims Harper’s companies
helped finance the buildout
of Higher Level Concentrates
and sold the unodorized, and
thus defective, gas used in the
THC extraction process that
built up and exploded upon
ignition.
Astoriana: Basement’s fate still unknown
Phone and Internet Discounts

Between them are items that
make sense — from the build-
ing’s original furniture, to a
stockpile of prints and paintings
that the library used to loan out
— and some surprises, includ-
ing a pulpit and two pews,
Samurai dolls and a small con-
tainer of ash from Mount St.
Helens.
The City Council recently
announced it will move for-
ward with a proposal to ren-
ovate the nearly 50-year-old
library building, using existing
monies and whatever amount
can be fundraised.
The full cost and the design
remain unknown. But one thing
is clear: Before long, the hun-
dreds of items in the basement
will need to be sorted and, in
some cases, assigned a new
home.
Artifacts aplenty
Library Director Jimmy
Pearson said that walking
through the basement feels
like a stroll through the his-
tory of Astoria. His attention
is always drawn to something
new.
A copy of Capt. George
Flavel’s father-in-law’s will.
A fishermen’s ledger from
the 19th century listing their
names and catches. Copies
of The Daily Astorian dating
back to the 1870s. The 1907
government-issued printing
of the U.S. presidents’ offi-
cial portraits, from George
Washington through William
McKinley, that once belonged
to The Washington Post.
A series of black-and-white
photographs, taken from atop
Coxcomb Hill and arranged
panorama-style, captures late-
1800s Astoria, with vintage
ships sailing the Columbia
River.
The Oregon Public Utility Commission (OPUC) designated CenturyLink
as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier within its service area for
universal service purposes. CenturyLink’s basic local service rates
for residential voice lines are $15.48-$17.55per month and business
services are $23.00-$28.00 per month. Specific rates will be provided
upon request.
CenturyLink participates in a government benefit program (Lifeline)
to make residential telephone or broadband service more affordable
to eligible low-income individuals and families. Eligible customers
are those that meet eligibility standards as defined by the Federal
Communications Commission and OPUC. Residents who live on
federally recognized Tribal Lands may qualify for additional Tribal
benefits if they participate in certain federal eligibility programs. The
Lifeline discount is available for only one telephone or broadband
service per household, and can be on either wireline or wireless
service. Broadband speeds must be 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps
upload or faster to qualify.
Danny Miller/The Daily Astorian
A stack of old record books can be seen in the basement of the Astoria Library.
The oldest object Pearson
believes he has discovered so
far: the Slusher family’s Ger-
man Bible, printed in 1728
and brought to the U.S. in the
1880s. The volume is accom-
panied by a letter from the
library to Mrs. Harley Slusher
thanking her for the book and
tracing its origins.
Purple Heart
Soon after Pearson took
over in November, he found,
in a basement corner, a Purple
Heart that was awarded post-
humously to Staff Sgt. Everett
J. Salvon.
Salvon graduated from
Astoria High School in 1940,
joined the Oregon National
Guard, spent 26 months in
combat overseas and was
killed on Biak Island, Papua,
in 1944 at age 20. Pearson
located Salvon’s grave in
Greenwood Cemetery on Vet-
eran’s Day. The soldier’s fam-
ily has since died out.
A veteran himself, Pear-
son personally paid to have
the decoration framed, and to
reframe a portrait of Salvon in
uniform. Both now hang in the
Flag Room, also known as the
Veterans Memorial.
The basement’s future
The city has asked John
Goodenberger, a local historian
who often uses the library’s
resources for research, to help
identify, inventory and, if pos-
sible, date the items. Pearson
has also invited Astoria High
School’s senior leadership
class to help organize them.
“If we have to clear all
that out as part of a library
remodel, I’d rather know what
is of value and what is not,”
City Manager Brett Estes said,
“and if there are things that we
can surplus, then let’s do that
as part of the remodel.”
The city may decide that
some relics would be better
kept, and more likely to be dis-

“There may be somebody
else that really should have
some of these materials, to be
able to have it more available
to the public,” Estes said.
But what will become of
the basement itself?
Estes and Pearson believe it
probably won’t be used as an
active library space, such as
a children’s area, because the
move would require additional
staffing. However, a remodel
that converts the basement into
a community room has been
loosely discussed.
“We’re not going to know
anything until, I think, an
architect becomes involved
on a paid level to figure out
what we can do within the
constraints of the finances we
already have, and what we can
do if we raise more,” Pearson
said.
A household is defined for the purposes of the Lifeline program as
any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same

Consumers who willfully make false statements in order to obtain a
Lifeline discount can be punished by fine or imprisonment and can be
barred from the program.
