When site development contrac tor John Malnerich couldn't buy enough crushed rock for his projects, he did what most peo ple in his situation would not do: He got into the quarry business. A decade later, in order to produce material that was up to state specifications, he moved down the road 10 miles and purchased a larger quarry with a better grade of rock. Malnerich, who owns Westside Rock in Hillsboro, Ore., about 25 miles west of Port land, turned his frustration over a shortage of rock into a successful quarry operation that today has a well-earned reputation for excep tional service to an often-overlooked constitu ency - homeowners.
