DonBliss, owner of Bliss Roofing inClacka-
mas, has built his reputation of satisfied cus-
tomers by standing behind his word and his
work. As a second-generation ownerwho pur-
chased the business from his father in 1985,
Bliss and his staff of 50 employees have re-
ceived numerous accolades from business
bureaus and contracting associations for
their work over the last 45 years.
Bliss Roofing is not the run-of-the-mill op-
eration. They are one of the top roofing com-
panies in Oregon, and they specialize in all
types of roofing services, including residen-
tial and commercial, re-roofing, repairs and
maintenance, and they back their work up
with their reputation and referrals. They also
have their own warranty department that is
especially attractive to the high-volume build-
ers. This past summer the company roofed
five of the 2013 Street of Dreams homes —
something only the best in the contracting
business get asked to do.
The housing-market customer base has
changed over the last fewyears. As home val-
ues began to drop and sales staggered, more
homeowners began staying in their homes
and opting for additions and remodels.
This past winter, the company stayed espe-
cially in demand as contractors began build-
ing new construction and high-volume neigh-
borhoods again. While summer tends to be
the traditional busy season, Bliss Roofing can
take on any job, any time. No job is too big, too
small or too specialized for these talented pro-
fessionals.
They offer immediate blue print copying
and computer roof plan digitizing. Call them
today for a free estimate 503-653-6100.
Immediately upon entering Haven of Rest Day Spa in
Happy Valley, you are whisked away to an elegant, serene
and peaceful “escape.” Oversized sofas and chairs, gor-
geous antique tables and décor and lovely scents await

“Life doesn’t always offer the ability of time or money to
take extended vacations,” said owner Debbie Bjerkvig,
“but here, customers are treated to anywhere from30min-
utes to six hours of complete peace and relaxation, and a
chance to feel nurtured.”
Haven of Rest offers services from facials, massage,
body treatments, waxing, manicures and pedicures, make-
overs and day packages, including lunch.
If you peruse through Bjerkvig’s guest book, you will
travel on a journey from one happy customer to another
expressing peace and pampering.
“You have opened a whole new door for my life,” said
one customer, while another added, “I don’t think I have
ever been this relaxed. This is the perfect treat.”
Bjerkvig sees clients fromall walks of life, fromthemom
treating herself to some personal time, small groups cele-
brating and those who have been showeredwith the gift of
a spa day by friends or even bosses.
“We also hear of local people who are experiencing per-
sonal tragedies, and offer free services to them at a time
when they probablywouldn’t take care of this part of them-
selves when they truly need it,” said Bjerkvig.
The spa will be hosting its annual open house on Friday,
Nov. 1, to celebrate its 10-year anniversary. The event is
open to the public andwill featuremini-services, drawings
and gifts giveaways, aswell as refreshments. Check out the

CCC Customized Training Program Fills Workforce Need
JV Northwest (JVNW) in
Canby faced a challenge in
finding enough trained weld-
ing fabricators to meet the
demands of their growing
business. Customized Train-
ing and Development Ser-
vices at Clackamas Commu-
nity College proposed a solu-
tion: provide the training to
qualified recruits on site.
CCC and JVNW recruited
an initial cohort of 10 to par-
ticipate in the entry-level
welding technician program,
and the students graduated
in March 2013. Mickayla Cat-
lin, who is now a full-time
JVNWemployee, was among
the program’s second cohort
of 10 students and is the first
woman to graduate from the
customized program. The
group celebrated graduation
on June 27 at a ceremony
held at JVNW.
Through the customized
program, CCC welding in-
structors provided formal
training to the recruits at the
JVNWsite in Canby and cer-
tified the in-house trainer as
an instructor. Students in the
program spent 20 hours a
week receiving formal train-
ing and 20 hours a week in
on-the-job projects.
The recruits completed 21
credit hours, leading to an
entry level welding certifi-
cate. They studied welder’s
print reading, industrial safe-
ty, welding certification and
welding fabrication.
“It’s been successful,” said
Robert Bitter, project man-
ager for CCC’s Customized
Training Department. “Last
summer JVNW had to turn
away orders because they
needed a skilled workforce.
They now have the workers
they need. We were able to
help them solve a business
need.”

Training and Development

ert Bitter at 503-594-3190 or
