March 10, 2017 | Cannon Beach Gazette | cannonbeachgazette.com • 5A We need ecologically sustainable jobs Clatsop County Commissioner Li- anne Thompson provided this testimony to the Oregon Joint Ways and Means Committee March 3. C o-chairs Sen. Devlin and Rep. Nathanson, members of the com- mittee, thank you for the opportu- nity to appear before you tonight. My name is Lianne Thompson, and I’m a Clatsop County Commissioner. I appreciate the very great challenge before you in this session as you balance revenues and requests from all over Oregon. It’s no surprise that there are more of the latter than the former. It’s no surprise that many people are requesting — perhaps demanding — that you perform the impossible job of meeting every request with agreement and funding. I’m from the government, and I came to help. What I’m offering isn’t immediately possible, but it’s a direction forward. I’d ask your attention to wise investment in economic development that provides jobs in ecologically sustainable ways, jobs that grow the hearts and minds of the workers involved as they support our local and statewide tax base. Sen. Betsy Johnson has her Oregon Manu- facturing Innovation Center project in Scappoose. now. We’re still in the early stages of developing the concepts and implement- ing them. It’s not a “silver bullet,” and it’s not an immediate solution. But working toward a future that makes better use of Oregon forests allows multiple benefi ts. If we have sec- ondary production on our timber prod- ucts in local manufacturing facilities, we do more than provide good jobs. We also provide a way to pay for essential services, and I know you’re committed to that by your membership on this committee. Last and perhaps most important for many is that this future will give us the means to also protect and preserve forests in Oregon as wild places, places that provide clean air and drinking water, allow recreational opportunities, and species and habitat protection. It’s a big dream, there’s a lot of collaborative work to be done, but it’s a dream that inspires both hope and common purpose for our shared value, a thriving Oregon. Thank you again for your work. I am eager to work with you as we move forward. Lianne Thompson is a long-time community activist who’s currently serving as the elected Clatsop County Commissioner for District 5, the south- ern half of Clatsop County. GUEST COLUMN LIANNE THOMPSON I’m in favor of supporting that project with whatever “ask” she has for funding. I trust her judgment. I’m also requesting that you consider investing in factories all over Oregon that will use cross-laminated timber or other mass-timber technology to produce value-added timber products from our private, state, and federal forests. I’d like to see us building modular housing using mass timber techniques. We don’t have specifi c requests at the moment, but they’re coming soon. Please give them consideration as they provide jobs in rural Oregon. You know that rural Oregon desperately needs those ecologically sustainable manufacturing jobs, or we face becoming ghost towns or theme parks. Let’s instead put tools in workers’ hands, develop opportunity for good jobs, so they can provide for themselves, their families, and their communities. The way forward in developing mass timber jobs, especially ones that will create modular housing (my personal favorite), is not clear right BUSINESS DIRECTORY M INI -S TORAGE SPACE AVAILABLE CANNON BEACH MINI-STORAGE Units Available 5’ x 10’ • 10’ x 10’ Contact Shawna at 503-436-2235 C ONSTRUCTION “Helping shape the character of Cannon Beach since 1973” Residential • Commercial • Remodeling New Construction • Storm Damage Repair Full Service Custom Cabinet Shop OBITUARIES 503.436.2235 www.coasterconstruction.com • CCB# 150126 Georgiana F.

Hay, on Feb. 8, 2017. Mrs. Hay was 90 years old. Mrs. Hay and her late hus- band, Bill Hay, fi rst entered the hospitality business when they purchased property in Cannon Beach, Oregon, in 1948. The property contained a single house with a four-car garage and, almost immediately, Bill converted the four garage units into hotel rooms. A year later Bill, with help from his father, Glen Hay, con- structed another 18 units, and the Surfview Motel opened for business. This property is the site of the current Hall- mark Resort & Spa in Cannon Beach. With the success of the Surfview Motel, other motel ventures followed. Over the next 50-plus years, over 40 hotels were either newly con- structed or acquired and reno- vated. Mrs. Hay was very active with the business, and always traveled with her husband to H EATING & C OOLING Mar 11 • Pudding River (Savor Cannon Beach) Mar 12 • Charles Smith Wines (2:30-4pm) Mar 18 • Puffi n Wines Mar 25 • Walla Walla Wines Apr 1 • Southern Oregon Wines Apr 8 • Puffi n Wines “Best Wine Shop” - 2016 Reader’s Choice Award 124 N.
