Man Cave: First action
will be to see what exactly
Fulton wants investigated
Continued from Page 1A
Knight said using the
Sheriff’s Office seems like
a good way to get an objec-
tive determination on the
Man Cave, which he has pre-
viously said does not violate
Bales’ lease nor run afoul of
the Federal Aviation Admin-
istration. Bales owns the han-
gar, has leased land at the air-
port since 2000 and has held
events in the hangar for at
least the past seven years.
Bales, who has denied
doing anything wrong in
his hangar, said he likes the
approach of an independent
investigation. “I think that’s
the proper, prudent thing to
do,” he said.
Looking into the cave
Sheriff Tom Bergin said
he knows of the Man Cave,
has attended events there and
has never received any com-
plaints about the hangar.
“I’ll put some detectives
on it who have never been
there,” he said.
Bergin said the investiga-
tion will focus on whether
there are any criminal issues,
and whether the actions by
individual Port commission-
ers violated any policies or
procedures.
“What we’re trying to
do is just clear the air, make
sure there are no criminal
elements and make sure there
are no internal issues,” Ber-
gin said.
The first action, he said,
is to contact Fulton and see
what exactly he wants inves-
tigated. Fulton has claimed
that the permitted use in
Bales’ hangar — “avia-
tion-related facility and stor-
age of aircraft,” according to
his lease — prohibits some-
thing like the Man Cave. He
also claims the Port is liable
for any issues related to alco-
hol, although no law enforce-
ment agencies have reported
any issues.
Fulton chose not to com-
ment Monday on Knight’s
request for an investigation.
Teapot tempest
Robert Mushen, the pres-
ident of the Port Commis-
sion, said Knight has the right
idea seeking an independent
investigation, considering the
majority of the Port Com-
mission has been to the Man
Cave.
“I think it’s a tempest in a

teapot,” Mushen said of Ful-
ton’s focus on Bales’ hangar.
“I don’t think anything will
come of it.”
Commissioner
Bill
Hunsinger said he thinks an
investigation by the Sher-
iff’s Office is a waste of time,
and that the Port’s lease was
pretty clear on the allowed
use in Bales’ hangar. “I think
it all breaks down to if our
insurance company doesn’t
think it should be there, then
that should be good enough
for us,” he said.
Bond game?
Calling for Bales’ evic-
tion, Fulton has said the site
of the hangar could be a
good location for helicopter
medevac service Life Flight
Network’s new hangar.
A site for Life Flight’s
hangar is part of a $1.96
million bond measure the
Port is trying to pass in the
May 16 election. The bond
would finance a new south-
ern entrance to the airport
near Life Flight’s new han-
gar and ready nearby land
parcels for future develop-
ment. Fulton was part of a
unanimous vote to move for-
ward with the bond measure,
but has been unsupportive of
spending money on anything
more than directly helping
Life Flight.
The Port’s Airport Advi-
sory Committee recom-
mended a southern location
for Life Flight’s new hangar
to locate its medical crews
away from other airplane
traffic and noise. A site next
to Bales’ hangar was consid-
ered, but thought to be unsuit-
able because of its close
proximity to the U.S. Coast
Guard’s Air Station Astoria.
Last spring, Building Offi-
cial Jim Byerly gave the War-
renton Community Library
building a poor bill of health.
They determined the cramped,
deteriorating structure, which
had served as Warrenton’s
library since the 1990s, had
outlived its useful life and was
becoming a safety hazard.
The quaint, but rickety,
shack can barely meet current
library users’ needs, let alone
the future needs of Warrenton,
Clatsop County’s fastest grow-
ing community. And though
conveniently located for Ham-
mond’s population, the library
team determined that a down-
town operation would likely
attract more people.
Serendipity’s owner, Cheryl
Koon, floated the idea of shar-
ing the cafe space with the
library, but the parties could not
agree on details.
Earlier this year, the school
district — deciding that a
library would better serve the
school district, and the commu-
nity, than a cafe — sent Koon
notice that the district would
not renew her lease.
Koon, who took over the
cafe in 2015, said she felt
“forced out,” and seized on
a 60-day early termination
clause. She closed the 15-year-
old business in winter.
The school district plans to
sell the building, a former U.S.
Bank, and use the proceeds to
expand district schools.
“We have some growth
issues that we need to take care
of, and selling that building
would help us out,” Moha said,
adding, “Of course, we would
love to have the city buy that.”
Koon rented the building
for $2,085 a month; Moha sus-
pects the school district will
end up charging the city a sim-
ilar amount as part of a yearly
lease.

determined in next fiscal year’s
budget.
Meanwhile, a Friends of the
Library-type group is work-
ing to acquire nonprofit sta-
tus, according to Library Board
chairwoman Kelsey Balen-
sifer, wife of City Commis-
sioner Henry Balensifer. A sim-
ilar group existed before but
disbanded.
In addition, the city may
increase the library’s levy
‘One step at a time’
The city plans to give the
library money from the general
fund originally earmarked to
replace carpeting at City Hall.
“Yeah. I stole their carpet,”
Calog said, laughing. “I feel
bad about it, but we need it.”
The amount, which would
last through this fiscal year, will
depend on the lease agreement,
move-in costs, utility fees at the
new site and other expenses.
Future transfer amounts will be
Seaside: Astoria adopted similar resolution
Continued from Page 1A
Astoria’s resolution states,
“except as required by law, no
city agency or employee shall
use monies or equipment to
detect or apprehend persons
whose only violation involves
a federal immigration law.”
In addition, “except as
required by federal or state
law, no city services or bene-
fits of any kind shall be con-
ditioned upon a resident’s fed-
eral immigration status.”
The resolution does not
make Astoria a sanctuary city,
a general term describing cit-
ies that seek to protect undoc-
umented immigrants from fed-
eral immigration policies.

“We’re taking things one
step at a time,” Balensifer
said. “For now, we know that
our current building is fall-
ing down, pretty much, and is
much too small for our needs.”
The board, she said, is
“excited to move to a much
larger space and be able to con-
tinue to offer fantastic library
services for the citizens of War-
renton, and for many visitors in
Warrenton.”

renewal in November. The cur-
rent levy expires in 2018.
Once the library has set-
tled into its new space, the city
can begin thinking about next
steps, including whether the
new building could become
a permanent home or should
remain a stopgap while a mod-
ern library — perhaps akin to
Seaside Public Library — gets
built elsewhere.
