3A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, MAY 2, 2017 Astoria council backs airport bond measure Money for Life Flight hangar, other improvements By KATIE FRANKOWICZ The Daily Astorian The Astoria City Coun- cil gave its support to a Port of Astoria bond measure for infrastructure improvements at the airport industrial area in Warrenton, including the con- struction of a Life Flight Net- work hangar. The bond would raise $1.96 Danny Miller/The Daily Astorian An explosion in October at Higher Level Concentrates left a man with serious burns. Change of venue sought in fire suit Worker filed in Multnomah By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian Richard Delphia is seek- ing to move the lawsuit over an explosion and fire in a mar- ijuana processing facility at his building in Uniontown last year to Clatsop County Circuit Court. Jacob Magley, a contrac- tor working for Higher Level Concentrates, was burned in an October explosion in the basement of Delphia’s build- ing at the corner of Portway and Industry streets. Magley’s lawyer alleged the owners of Higher Level, William “Chris” West and Jason Oei, were mak- ing and “dabbing” butane hash oil, touching off an explosion and fire that gutted the build- ing and left him with serious burns on his upper body. Magley filed suit in Mult- nomah County against three people and 11 businesses for damages of $8.9 million. In Magley’s original complaint, his lawyer, Gregory Zeuthen, argued the venue was correct because West and Oei’s com- panies each have agents that receive court processes in Multnomah County. West, Oei and their compa- nies Higher Level, High Tide Biological and Astoria Trading Co. are being sued for prem- ises liability and violations of the Oregon Safe Employment Act. Delphia and several of his companies are also being sued for premises liability and vio- lations of the employment law. One of his companies, D&D Gas Inc., was recently removed from the case. “The actions giving rise to this case all occurred in Clatsop County,” John Bar- houm, Delphia’s lawyer, said in a motion to move the case. “Moreover, many, if not all witnesses reside in Clatsop County. Finally, the parties reside in Clatsop County.” Sweet Relief Natural Med- icine, a local marijuana store owned by Oscar Nelson and Gary Reynolds that leases space in Delphia’s building above Higher Level’s space, is being sued for premises lia- bility. Another of their com- panies, G.O. Enterprises, was recently added as a defendant in the case. Under the Bridge Ciga- rettes and UTB Investments, both owned by local tobacco and marijuana store financier John Harper, were sued for violations of employer liability law, products liability and gen- eral negligence. million and be used in conjunc- tion with money the port has already received in the form of a ConnectOregon grant. All five councilors voted in favor of supporting the port’s bond, with several citing per- sonal experience and crediting Life Flight with saving family members’ lives. Even while the hospitals here expand, many patients still require trips to Portland, Councilor Cindy Price said. “I certainly support it,” she said. Councilor Bruce Jones said he also liked the fact that the bond will provide for fur- ther growth and expansion at the airport property, making it more attractive to other com- mercial entities.

In the procla- mation, the mayor called his- toric preservation “an effective tool for revitalizing neighbor- hoods, fostering local pride, and maintaining commu- nity character while enhanc- ing livability.” Instructors and students from Clatsop Com- munity College’s Historic Preservation and Restoration Program were present, and several events are scheduled throughout the month to cele- brate their craft. tax revenues and a $36,000 grant reimbursement. • The council awarded a $174,500 trestle repair con- tract to Bergerson Construc- tion to begin critical repair work on trolley trestles on First and Second streets and Columbia Avenue.
