Marion
"A dour and doughty Scot." Scots have long been perceived
as taciturn, stalwart in resistance to adversity, tight-lipped, and
stoic. T heir contributions as warriors, rulers, physicians,
scientists, and engineers are formidable.
This m onth a member o f the Clan M cFarland died. In league
with his countrym en, the M cEwans, Jam es M. "Marion
M cFarland wrought considerable change to the physical landscape
o f Cannon Beach. Known to most o f us simply as "Marion,"
the ageless man on the John Deere 35OC caterpillar moved the
obstacles, excavated the dirt, and fastened the water and sewer
pipes that serve our town. Far from sour, Marion's mild manner
and soft sm ile let grumblers like m yself know the redemption
im m anent in honest physical work. Marion tackled an
excavation job like a hobo hauled off the street for a
Thanksgiving dinner.
I first encountered M arion in the spring of 1976. My brother
Tim and I built our first house together that year and we were
green as the alder saplings at the job site. Bob McEwan
C onstruction promised to send a man with a cat’ over to scoop
out the house's foundation footprint. To my dismay, an elderly
gentlem an stepped down from the cab o f a McEwan Construction
dum ptruck and approached me near a pile of green timber I d been
trying to burn for days.
’Tires," he said to me in a slow drawl. "Best way to burn wet
logs. Y ou’ve got 'em spread too far apart, too. Closer together,
the heat will get 'em going better. Here, give me a hand."
He helped me m anhandle the logs together, brought his cat' to
the site, and m esm erized me for the next three days with his grit
and savvy. Tw enty years ago that short stocky gentleman with
the shocks o f gray hair under his baseball cap, an old Levi jacket
on his stout shoulders, and a Camel straight cigarette in his
mouth taught me the value of work and the application of steady
energy to a task.
Last year I watched M arion, then in his early 80 s, shepherd
that same John Deere caterpillar around another jo b site, slowly,
inexorably bringing the dirt to grade, sure and steady. He was a
marvel.
His accom plishm ents are numerous. Marion singlehandedly
cut the tim ber and ran cat’ the length of the high tension line
easem ent that brings pow er to our substation from the valley.
He "pioneered" the Spruce Street Road and roads to the
watershed. The public works department indicates that Marion
has opened up the earth and installed water and sewer pipes on
every street in the municipality o f Cannon Beach during his
tenure here. His "seventh sense" in locating pipes and mains is
legendary and will be sorely missed. He possessed an uncanny
sense when assessing substrate consistency. If Marion felt a
boggy area demanded more pit-run fill, one ignored his advice at
peril.
Bob M cEwan, his long-time friend and employer, shared his
recollections regarding Marion:
"He was an old-time worker. Didn't take more than a dozen
sick days in 25 years. Never signed up for unemployment during
the w inter slack. He loved his work. He didn't waste time and
he believed in doing a jo b once, the right way. He used his
senses to "eyeball" a piece of ground level to grade and
perfection. He liked to work slow and steady. Hundreds of
brambled and mushy lots in Cannon Beach were transformed by
M arion into level building sites. Good fill, bad fill. Marion
knew the difference. He had a knack for identifying "true people"
— people honest in their appearance and their dealings with
others. He never praised people who didn't deserve it. And he
loved to dance."
I reflect on how fortunate we are to have people like Marion
am ong us to show us the way. He will be missed greatly by his
many friends and his family.

BULLETIN BOARD
As soon as I get my act together we will be placing a
bulletin board abov e the recycling bins that will have
recy cling information, brochures.city and energy
committee reports, and misc information on
conserv ation projects
SPECIAL NOTE: This project would not be possible
without the enthusiastic help of our Postal
Employees. Cannon Beach is the only site in the
United States that I could find with this type of a
partnership between a City . Post Office. & volunteers
to house a full recycling program Next time you are
in the P.O be sure to thank Karen. Pat and Sally If
you have any suggestions or complaints address
them to me at; P O Box 283.
HOW MUCH IS OUR RECYCLED STUFF
WORTH?
The other day a very wise man in town informed me
that the latest New York City theft trend
was stealing curbside recycling Good grief; these
big city folks are sure strange So when I read an
article in the Oregonian the next day about thieves
stealing old newspapers from recycling trucks in
Portland. I had to scoff at human nature Now that
recyclable materials are a valuable commody. they
too are being exploited by opportunistic people
What next an organized blackmarket recycling trade
You don't think Cannon Beach could be next??? Just
for your trivia information bank the current price for
cardboard is $210 per ton. magazines $ 115 per ton.
newspaper: $120 per ton. white paper $400 per ton
and gray board: $95 per ton
