Teevin Brothers Land
and Timber Company,

large-business service
to the community.
Teevin Brothers Land and Timber
won an award for service to the com-
munity among large businesses. The
company is heavily involved in local
philanthropy. Owner Shawn Teevin
helped found the Knappa Schools
Foundation to support his alma mater.
“This year, the Knappa School
Dinner/Auction raised $113,000 and
currently has net assets of just over
$1,495,000,” Breitmeyer said. “They
have contributed vastly to our econo-
my in their 40 years of operation, and
now have over 100 employees.”
Roxanne Williams-Morinville, co-owner and general
manager of Warrenton Kia, won the outstanding
customer service award for a large business.
Outstanding Customer Service,
large business
Roxanne Williams-Morinville, co-owner and gen-
eral manager of Warrenton Kia, won the outstanding
customer service award for large businesses.
“Roxanne is a second generation owner of the
dealership and has made the business her own in spir-
it, employees, and most importantly — in customer
service,” Leahy said.
Williams-Morinville said she was “shocked” to
win the award.
“It’s a great honor that wouldn’t be possible with-
out all of my team at Warrenton Kia,” she said.
Wayne Poole, co-owner of Pig ‘N Pancake, won the
entrepreneurship award for large business.
Dennis Murphy of Astoria Forest Products, on left,
received the economic impact award. The company
has been credited with indirectly supporting about
50 jobs for every loaded log vessel leaving Pier 1
including longshoremen, loggers and truck drivers.

Economic Impact
Wayne Poole, co-owner of Pig ’N Pancake, won
the entrepreneurship award for large businesses. His
parents, Bob and Marianne Poole, opened the restau-
rant’s first location in downtown Seaside in 1961. The
restaurant now has six locations on the Oregon Coast
and in Portland.
Leahy quoted letters raving about the restaurant
— from the friendly atmosphere and accommodating
menu — before presenting the award to Poole.
“They (Bon and Marianne) set that standard for
customer service,” Poole said. “Everyone that comes
through the door needs to be welcome and that’s what
we strive to carry on to this day.”
Astoria Forest Products, a log exporter at the Port
of Astoria, received the economic impact award.
The exporter, which took over from Westerlund Log
Handlers in 2014, employs 15 people at the port. The
company has been credited with indirectly supporting
about 50 jobs for every loaded log vessel leaving Pier
1, including longshoremen, loggers and truck drivers.
“These are high-wage jobs that pay on average $22
to $32 per hour and can support local families and the
local forestry economy,” Breitmeyer said. “Astoria
Forest Products exceeds $35 million in accounts each
year with businesses in Clatsop County that support
the work of delivering high quality logs to overseas
clients.”
