Narrative:

On initial descent into grr, a 'left oil filter clogged' message illuminated. As per our poh we brought power to idle on the left engine. The message did not extinguish, so as per the checklist we secured the left engine. We then declared an emergency and proceeded to the grr airport for an uneventful landing on runway 35.
