County: ‘It has been a Tiny Micro-Chip Now
Available!
In
The
Ear:
divisive couple of years’
Continued from Page 1A
“That’s a significant advan-
tage,” he said.
Commissioner
Lianne
Thompson would like the
board to hold work sessions
to define its goals on certain
county issues before beginning
the hiring process, she said.
“We’ve had a lot of turn-
over. I’d like to pause and
define our mission,” Thomp-
son said. “I want us to define
what we are as a govern-
ing body before searching for
somebody.”
New board chair
Kujala and Wev will replace
Commissioners Scott Lee and
Lisa Clement. Over the next
few weeks, they will gather
some basics about the coun-
ty’s budget and decision-mak-
ing processes. They will also
meet with county department
heads, local elected officials
and organizations.
Lee served as the board’s
chairman, and the first order of
business for the commission-
ers is to select a new chair to
replace him.
Nebeker, Thompson and
Kujala have expressed inter-
est. Nebeker has served on the
board since 2013 and is cur-
rently the vice chair. Thomp-
son has served on the board
since 2015, and previously
nominated herself in 2017
when the current commission
met for the first time. Kujala is
a former Warrenton mayor.
“It remains to be seen how
that will all play out,” Nebeker
said.
Thompson, Wev and Sulli-
van have been involved with
Clatsop County Democrats.
All three have expressed a
desire for more oversight of the
county manager and staff, one
of the major wedge points on
the current commission.
Thompson hopes the new
arrangement on the board will
help her collect a majority of
votes, she said.
“We’ll see,” Thompson
said. “I am more optimistic
than last time.”
‘Not having much fun’
Commissioners have crit-
icized Thompson in the past
couple of years for her travel
expenses and behavior with
county staff. When Moore
apologized for skipping a
meeting earlier this year, he
cited clashes with Thompson
and Sullivan as a reason for his
absence.
“Listen, if I was having fun,
I would do it a couple more
years. I’m just not having much
fun right now,” Moore said
when asked why he decided to
retire. “I’ll let you draw your
own conclusions on that.”
As commissioners begin
searching for Moore’s replace-
ment, the new board will also
look to prove that it can work
better together.
“I think we can do better,”
Nebeker said. “It has been a
divisive couple of years, and
I’d like commissioners to find
common ground.”
Thompson, for her part, will
continue to push the board to
hold more big-picture discus-
sions, she said.
“We don’t agree on what’s
the role of a county commis-
sioner,” Thompson said. “Once
that’s done, decisions will be
easier.”
So, is the commission’s tur-
moil history?
“I can only hope,” Wev
said.

Salon: ‘I take the healing and
beautifying arts very seriously’

He enrolled in Paul Mitch-
ell, The School, in Salt Lake
City to seriously study hair
care, graduating as a cosme-
tologist in 2011.
Eight years ago, French
followed his mother, Mary
French-Peterson, to the Ore-
gon Coast. For a time he ran
the hair salon at Necanicum
Village. He had a salon in
Astoria. Then he found out
about space available in the
newly renovated Westport
Winery building and a bell
went off.
“I knew right away this
was where I wanted to be,”
French said.
The salon focuses on spe-
cialized, premium services.
“Conditioning, hair color,
precision haircuts, broken
hair bonding and cuticle ser-
vices are the foundation of
industry-leading hair care,”
French said. “Our advanced
skin care uses state-of-the-
art micro current, microderm-
abrasion, photon therapy,
ultrasonic cavitation, radio
and high frequency rejuvena-
tion, and chemical peels. Our
truly exceptional nail care
includes detailed manicures,
pedicures, and shellac nails.
“If you don’t know what
treatment you need, we’re
here to guide you.”
Salon on Broadway is a
unique space. While it has a
modern, industrial feel, at the
same time it feels more like a
spa than a hair salon. There
is a relaxing private room
for the specialized facials.
And then there’s the energy
work. French is a resource
for his clients in chakra
care, quantum healing and
hypnotherapy.
French and Witt are also
ambassadors for Westport
Winery. The winery is about
to launch its Westport Winery
Seaside Retreat, offering golf,
accommodations for small
groups, spa and hair treat-
ments, and of course wine.
Meanwhile, French says
the salon business is a call-
ing for him. “I take the heal-
ing and beautifying arts very
seriously,” he said.
