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.

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

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.

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.
