PAGE A6, KEIZERTIMES, AUGUST 14, 2015 KEIZERTIMES/Craig Murphy TOP: John Honey answers a question while giving a tour on Monday. ABOVE: John Honey and Chuck Lee pose outside the CTEC main entrance. CTEC: ‘It’s the perfect blend of private...public’ HARVEST, continued from Page A1 (Continued from pg. A1) While there are plenty of skill centers around, Honey said the CTEC difference is students will learn from peo- ple with industry experience – who have also earned teach- ing degrees – how to tie ev- erything together, from voca- tional classes to applied math to hands-on experience. “This supports entry into the workforce,” Honey said. “Employers get better em- ployees. We’re moving away from the mindset of every kid must go to college and then go to work. Now they can get ready for both. They’ll better understand how things are built.” Larry Tokarski with Moun- tain West brought Lee on board to help put the program together. In addition to his school board experience (and city council before that), Lee was formerly the longtime president of Blanchet Catho- lic School. “Larry really had this vi- sion,” Lee said. “He’s invested a lot to make it happen. Larry hired me to give kids hope. means hazelnuts from KRP could command a higher price. Klein confi rmed the short- age, but stopped short of guar- anteeing fi nancial success. “There has been a short- age of hazelnuts of late lead- ing to increased demand and price,” Klein said. “A deterio- rating orchard may not pro- duce a yield suffi cient to turn a profi t even with the past season’s high prices. There’s a good possibility that supply is- sues may correct themselves as soon as this fall.” Klein noted the hazelnut harvest season is short. “Harvest in an orchard of this size is usually done one time, late in the season when all the nuts are down,” he said. “If the orchard gives access to the public it complicates an already hazardous activity. The harvest season is late Septem- ber through October. If you can get someone to manage and harvest through the de- cline of the trees that’s great. It may be tough going forward as the costs could exceed the potential return plus the risks.” There are an incredible num- ber of businesses starving for a qualifi ed work force. What we’re doing here is building a work force to keep businesses here and to help bring new businesses here.” As an example, Lee said he talked to a business owner in Donald in the manufacturing business. “The guy said he could hire 100 people right now if he could fi nd them,” Lee said. “We’ve always told kids they have to go to college to be successful. Well, this guy in Donald is paying a welder $85,000 a year.” Jeremy Mills was among those on Monday’s tour. “It’s an amazing project,” Mills said. “This is a great opportunity for kids to get hands-on experience.” Mayor Cathy Clark saw the inside of the facility for the fi rst time. “It meets the needs for both students and industry,” Clark said. “It’s the perfect blend of private and public putting to- gether something that will be so meaningful.” Business&Services APPLIANCES ATTORNEY Come See Our New Showroom Walsh & Associates Estate Planning Elder Law Probate Social Security Attorneys at Law 503-304-4886 Nigel Guisinger • Personal Injuries Owner • Wrongful Death 3800 River Rd N in Keizer 503-390-0161 Wills & Trusts Asset Protection Medical Directives Guardian & Conservatorships Free Consultation No fee until we win Richard Walsh 5845 Shoreview Ln.
