Seaside
man gets
sentenced
in shooting
Scarborough receives
more than 8 1/2 years

A Seaside man was sentenced Monday
to more than 8 1/2 years in prison after a
November clash at a hotel over drugs ended
with a shooting.
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.”

Suicide sparked county
mental health review
By DERRICK DePLEDGE

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.”

Food carts provide food for thought in Seaside
Restaurant
owners pan idea

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
