Taking Care of BusinessBy Evan Kramer

Last week I attended theAmerica’s Wild RiverCoast Business Confer-ence in Gold Beach atthe Docia Sweet Hall atthe fairgrounds. I’veonly ridden Curry Pub-lic Transit (CPT) one

other time but for this conference theirmorning schedule worked out perfectly,leaving from Port Orford for Gold Beachat 7:40am. The $2 fare easily beat thecost of driving my Ford truck to GoldBeach. Bill Dooley, General Manager ofCurry Public Transit, was on board head-ing to Brookings where CPT has its of-fice in the Chetco Senior Center. Dooleytalked about the previous day’s free busride day, which saw ridership up, onmany of the runs. We talked about ashared goal of both of ours, which isservice between Coos Bay and Arcata/Eureka. Curry Transit only goes as farsouth as the border unless there is acharter run. What would be needed iscooperation from the California side tomeet CPT buses and then take passen-gers south to Crescent City and Arcata.

The bus dropped me off a little early so Itook a walk around the backside of theFairgrounds. The 4-H building at the

western edge of the Fairgrounds wasreally a sight and one that made for soreeyes. The building is a wreck. Part of theroof is gone and the inside of the buildingwas a standing lake. Rust spots stainedthe outside of the building. Later on atthe business conference I spoke withCurry County Commissioner RalphBrown. He felt the building could besalvaged for $185,000 which the countyhas, but he said the problem is gettingsomeone to do the work. Nevertheless,the building is a disgrace and an insult tothe 4-H program.

After all the fun of riding the bus andwalking around the fairgrounds I gotsettled into the business conference forthe 9:00am starting time. It began with atalk by keynote speaker Len Blackstone,a marketing consultant from CottageGrove. Blackstone has 25 years experi-ence as a marketing consultant and is aformer police officer and professionalphotographer. He once pedaled his bicy-cle 3,000 miles across the country.

Blackstone talked about the tremendouschange going on around us and quotedBruce Barton who said, “when we’rethrough changing we’re through.” Black-stone asked those in attendance to thinkabout what their marketing plan is. Hetalked about a Chinese concept called“The Circle of Continuous Improve-

ment.” He encouraged people to em-brace their fears and denial and do newthings – eat new foods, try a new hobby,go somewhere you’ve never seen beforeand read a new book.

Blackstone talked about seven winningmarketing strategies for businesses in-cluding superior service, innovation orcreativity, adaptation to customization,lower prices, leadership in high growthmarkets, the largest market share and adistinctive brand value.

Blackstone emphasized customer careover customer acquisition and long-termcustomer value over short-term custom-er profits. He emphasized the impor-tance of getting to know your customersand learning their names.

After Len Blackstone finished his onehour talk the 55 attendees of the confer-ence headed off to visit the exhibitorsbefore breaking into the three confer-ence rooms for a variety of talks fromstarting or buying a business, to writinga business plan to record keeping andone that intrigued me, “Do you own yourbusiness or does you business own you?”

There were 20 resource exhibits at theconference including Chetco, the GoldBeach Chamber of Commerce, the SmallBusiness Development Center at South-western Oregon Community College

Garrison Lake OpeningBy Evan Kramer

The situation is constantly changing atGarrison Lake regarding the breachingand as of Tuesday, March 9, this is wherethings stand. The lake is approximately17.5 high according to the City of PortOrford public works department.

A group of local people, led by David A.Bassett, has formed the Garrison LakeRestoration Fund, for the purpose ofbreaching the lake and maintaining it atmanageable level. Bassett and his wifehave a home on Garrison Lake Drive. Heis a consulting engineer. He and SteveNewcomb, a geologist and principal inEGR & Associates are donating theirengineering assistance and supervisionpro bono to open the lake correctly. Hementioned other lake front property own-ers Linda Houck and Ralph Donaldsonas contributing financially to this effort.

This group is working on getting anemergency permit, with ongoing mainte-nance provisions, from Oregon StateParks and Recreation. They are workingwith Steve Williams; State Parks landuse coordinator, to breach the lake. Wil-liams said that as of Tuesday afternoon

Senior Rummage SaleThe Senior Center rummage room hasbeen closed for painting and remodeling.We are planning a grand re-opening forthe weekend of March 20.

Please bring your clean, saleable dona-tions to the Senior Center on Friday,March 12, between 10:00am and 2:00pm.We especially need a full-length mirrorfor use in the clothing area.

State Parks had not issued an emergencypermit to Bassett. He said they were stillreviewing the proposal and working onthe permit. Williams sounded positiveabout Bassett getting the emergency per-mit but everybody is being very careful.

Bassett asked me to put something in thisarticle directed towards any vigilantesthinking about opening the lake on theirown. He is asking people, “please do notattempt to breach the lake.”

Work to breach the lake will begin onSaturday morning, March 13, at approx-imately 8:00am. Joe Marsh has beenhired and will bring out a D-6 cat, whichwill begin by pushing sand north to thesouth end of the bluff. The goal of thiswork is to open the lake the “long way”and connect to what exists of the oldoutlet channel. The group is opposed tocross-beach breaching and will have thecontractor ready to close off the openingif that occurs. The channel will be ap-proximately 10 feet wide with a goal ofrunning water 8 to 12 inches deep. Thegoal is to get the lake down to an “opti-mal” level of 14.7 feet after the first twodays. During this time the outlet will bemonitored continuously.

Garrison Lake was breached under Citysupervision once in December of lastyear, once in January of this year andagain in February. The first two breacheswere what is referred to as “cross beachbreaching” and resulted in a rapid drawdown in the level of the lake. Theseopenings created a channel for waveaction to scour the bluffs at Agate Beachresulting in serious erosion. The City’semergency permit to open the lake ex-pired on February 29 and at that pointthey walked away from the situation be-cause of the cost of opening the lake andpotential damage to archaeological sites.

The Garrison Lake Restoration Fundgroup is also asking State Parks to “pro-ceed with funding options for a longterm solution to relieve the ecological,economic, mental and physical anguishthis situation has caused over the last sixlong years.” Now that’s a goal worthachieving.

Taking Care of BusinessContinued from Front Cover

(SWOCC), SCORE (Service Corps ofRetired Executives), Oregon Coast Me-dia – KBSC-TV and the Oregon Depart-ment of Employment.

KBSC-TV broadcasts on Cable Channel9 and UHF 49 in Crescent City, Brook-ings and Gold Beach. I spoke with MikeMcKenzie-Bahr, owner of KBSC aboutbringing his station to Port Orford. Hehas to resolve that with Charter Commu-nications but it was disappointing to seethere is a local television station and itisn’t available in the north part of thecounty. Port Orford has three over the airstations rebroadcast from an antenna onCoast Guard Hill and Bahr was asked toinclude his station.

The NCC Radio Group was also an ex-hibitor. The have several area radio sta-tions including KPOD 97FM and KCRE94. Their broadcast area covers the area

between Gold Beach and Eureka. I spokewith the company’s representative aboutPort Orford and if they can increase thepower on some of the stations so we willbe able to receive them in Port Orford.

The Gold Beach Chamber of Commerceand SCORE (Service Core of RetiredExecutives) sponsored this conferenceand they provided an excellent forum forthe many small business owners in Curryand Del Norte County.
