Shaun Scarborough, 29, entered a man’s room at the Beachside Inn in Seaside with his girlfriend, Marta Garfias, 21. Garfias had allegedly arranged to meet with Chris- topher Neaman, 36, of Washington state, to buy drugs. Scarborough arrived with a .45-caliber pistol and a bandanna covering his face. During the encounter, Scarborough allegedly shot the man. Scarborough said Mon- Shaun day that he went to the Scarborough hotel with Garfias to con- front Neaman about selling drugs to his homeless mother and that the gun misfired. “I’ll take responsibility for what my actions are, but it was more of an emotional disturbance,” Scarborough said. “I used her to get in that door. It just got out of hand.” Photos by Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian TRAINING DAY See SCARBOROUGH, Page 7A Family settles claim over bridge death TOP: Law enforcement officers train Monday for an active shooter situation at Seaside High School.

Suicide sparked county mental health review By DERRICK DePLEDGE The Daily Astorian The family of a woman who jumped off the Astoria Bridge in 2015 has set- tled a wrongful death claim against Clat- sop Behavioral Healthcare over her mental health treatment. The lawsuit alleged the mental health agency was negligent in caring for Carrie Barnhart, 54, who had a history of schizo- phrenia and depression. The amount of the settlement is confidential. Jeremiah Ross, a Portland attorney who represented Barnhart’s family, declined to comment. “CBH is grateful that we were able to work with the family to resolve the case,” Amy Baker, the mental health agency’s exec- utive director, said in an email. “Our mission is to provide much-needed services to Clat- sop County citizens with substance use and mental health disorders.” See SUICIDE, Page 7A Food carts provide food for thought in Seaside Restaurant owners pan idea By R.J. MARX The Daily Astorian R.J. Marx/The Daily Astorian Seaside restauraunt owners David Posalski, Jimmy Grif- fin, Doug Wiese and Wayne Poole in the second row at the City Council workshop on food carts. SEASIDE — Let them eat cake — or tacos or fresh sal- ads — whatever the creative chef can manage in a kitchen the size of a step van. Fans and foes of food carts came to City Hall Monday for a workshop driven by resi- dents who see an opportunity for diverse cuisine and a draw for visitors. Under city ordi- nances, all commercial busi- nesses must operate within a permanent building, but food carts may be licensed on a short-term basis for charity and special events. City Councilor Seth Mor- risey, who moderated the workshop, said a food cart could lower the barrier to entry for entrepreneurs and give an opportunity to those who might not have the capital for a restaurant. Seaside resident Matt Rose said he and his girlfriend love the idea. “They’re more of an experience for us,” he said. Seaside Yoga’s Kris- tin Kabanuk said food carts offer opportunities for young entrepreneurs and could pro- vide more choices. “For me as a business owner, we have very few health and wellness related businesses and eater- ies in this town,” she said. “It’s very hard to find a really good salad, a healthy smoothie. I’d like to see more options than fish and chips and chowders.” Restaurant owners who attended the workshop largely opposed the prospect. Doug Wiese of Dooger’s Seafood said there are already 75 food service establishments in Seaside. “I would suggest to this body that the restaurant pool in the city is stretched See SEASIDE, Page 5A
