2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 2018 Glut of marijuana in Oregon is cautionary tale, experts say OBITUARIES Tevis Ernest Dooley Jr. Cannon Beach Dec. 11, 1928 — April 22, 2018 Tevis Ernest Dooley Jr., of Cannon Beach, sailed away on the morning of April 22 from Avamere in Seaside, Oregon, surrounded by his family. Tevis was born Dec. 11, 1928, on the island of Guam, the first of four children to Florence Herrero and Tevis E. Dooley Sr. At 15, as a freshman at Seaside High School, he met his future wife, Lily Gene- vive Forsythe. In 1946, at 17, he joined the Navy, but was reunited with Lily during training in San Francisco, California, where they married in 1949, and got busy with life and family while he finished his service as a submariner. In San Diego, in January 1950, their first child, Melissa Ann, was born. From there it was to the University of Oregon, where he enrolled in architecture and they had two more children, Maureen Ann and Tevis E. III. With a growing family, his search for employment led to California, where he worked at numerous architectural and engi- neering offices. He eventually settled in Los Gatos in 1958, and set up his own practice. Two more children, Colleen Ann and Shana Ann, joined the family, and all five children graduated from Los Gatos High School. Tevis went on to join the architectural division of Santa Clara County, eventually becoming the public works managing architect, with a staff of 36. He oversaw designs for everything from public parks to airports, courthouses and hospitals. By 1984, with all the children grown and Black market always a concern on their own, he and Lily moved up to Can- non Beach, Oregon, preceded by three of the five children. Again he set up his own prac- tice, designing many fine homes, the first being his own for once, where he and Lily lived out their days, filling it with ever-in- creasing amounts of loving memories as the family continued to grow. Tevis Dooley Jr. is survived by his sis- ter, Doreen (Dooley) Allison; and brother, Allan Dooley; his children, Melissa (Dooley) Meidinger, Maureen Dooley-Sroufe, Tevis E. Dooley III, Colleen (Dooley) Balzer, and Shana (Dooley) Giess; 10 grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren. Lily left us in Feb- ruary 2010. Tevis was driven by an insatiable appetite to study the world around him, and his inter- ests were extensive. A gifted artist, excel- lent photographer with a keen eye for design, whether it be furniture or a civic building, he was known for unusual cars, (one of the first in the U.S. to own both a Volkswagen micro- bus and a bug), and as a snappy dresser. He loved hiking the Sierras and wherever the land met the sea. He left an extensive library, and no doubt about the importance of family. He imparted to all around him a fierce sense of civic duty, of history and com- munity service, sat on numerous committees, attained a state-level FIFA soccer referee cer- tificate, and in his last years volunteered as a Court Appointed Special Advocate. The world is a better place for his living in it. By GILLIAN FLACCUS Associated Press FIVE-DAY FORECAST FOR ASTORIA TONIGHT SATURDAY SUNDAY MONDAY 66 51 51 Mostly cloudy 58 49 59 46 Mostly cloudy, cooler; a little p.m. rain Partly sunny TUESDAY Mostly cloudy with a couple of showers 60 48 PORTLAND — When Oregon lawmakers created the state’s legal marijuana pro- gram, they had one goal in mind above all else: to con- vince illicit pot growers to leave the black market. That meant low barriers for entering the industry that also targeted long-standing medi- cal marijuana growers, whose product is not taxed. As a result, weed production boomed — with a bitter consequence. Now, marijuana prices here are in freefall, and the craft cannabis farmers who put Ore- gon on the map decades before broad legalization say they are in peril of losing their now-le- gal businesses as the market adjusts. Oregon regulators on Wednesday announced they will stop processing new appli- cations for marijuana licenses in two weeks to address a severe backlog and ask state lawmak- ers to take up the issue next year. Experts say the dizzying evolution of Oregon’s mar- ijuana industry may well be a cautionary tale for Califor- nia, where a similar regulatory structure could mean an over- supply on a much larger scale. “For the way the program AP Photo/Andrew Selsky A marijuana harvester examines buds going through a trimming machine near Corvallis. is set up, the state (California) just wants to get as many people in as possible, and they make no bones about it,” said Hilary Bricken, a Los Angeles-based attorney specializing in mari- juana business law. “Most of these companies will fail as a result of oversaturation.” Oregon has nearly 1 million pounds of marijuana flower — commonly called bud — in its inventory, a staggering amount for a state with about 4 mil- lion people. Producers told The Associated Press wholesale prices fell more than 50 per- cent in the past year; a study by the state’s Office of Economic Analysis found the retail cost of a gram of marijuana fell from $14 in 2015 to $7 in 2017. The oversupply can be traced largely to state lawmak- ers’ and regulators’ earliest decisions to shape the industry. They were acutely aware of Oregon’s entrenched history of providing top-drawer pot to the black market nationwide, as well as a concentration of small farmers who had years of culti- vation experience in the legal, but largely unregulated, medi- cal pot program. Getting those growers into the system was critical if a legit- imate industry was to flour- ish, said state Sen. Ginny Bur- dick, a Portland Democrat who co-chaired a committee cre- ated to implement the voter-ap- proved legalization measure. Lawmakers decided not to cap licenses; to allow businesses to apply for multiple licenses; and to implement relatively inexpensive licensing fees.

W t sh pc s r s s s pc pc pc s s pc t pc pc t s t t s s pc t The state Department of Environmental Quality fined Georgia-Pacific, opera- tor of the Wauna Mill in east- ern Clatsop County, $12,000 for releasing more pollution from its kraft pulp mill than is allowed in the facility’s air quality permit. A kraft pulp mill turns wood into pulp, the main compo- nent of paper. The mill in April 2016 exceeded Georgia-Pacif- ic’s allowed emissions of par- ticulate matter. Regulators dis- covered the violation after the company submitted a source test report on its emissions. Georgia-Pacific corrected the problem within 10 days of the source test and has paid the fine. Particulate matter affects the functioning of the heart, lungs and vision. It can deposit on the ground and change the acidity or nutrient balance of water and soil. State and fed- eral law limits such industrial air emissions to protect public health and the environment. was incorrectly listed as exec- utive director in a 1A story on Thursday. concert at the Labor Temple Bar will take place at 10 p.m. Saturday.
