Good fit for Coastal, Prime Pacific

By Jim DavisThe Herald Business

Journal Editor

It’s the latest in a long line of mergers of commu-nity banks.

Community Bank in Everett and Prime Pacific Bank of Lynnwood and announced in April that they intend to combine, pending regulatory and shareholder approval.

The deal makes sense for the banks on a lot of levels, said Eric Sprink, Coastal’s CEO and presi-dent, and Glenn Deutsch, CEO and of Prime

Pacific.“Our core values are the

same,” Deutsch said. “We both understand what relationships are and we both understand the small business person is really the economic wheel that keeps things turning.”

The combined bank will have $704 million in assets and 15 branches after Coastal opens a Marysville branch later this summer.

For customers, the com-bined bank, which will retain the Coastal name, will have higher caps on the amount it can loan to businesses. The banks have no overlap, so the new entity isn’t expected to close any branches.

And the new bank will have new resources to handle today’s banking challenges.

“Prime Pacific and

Coastal, we’re both healthy banks, but we need some size and scale to be able to fulfill the obliga-tions of being a bank in today’s society,” Sprink said.

One of those chal-lenges is navigating new federal financial regula-tions enacted after the recession.

Dealing with financial

regulations wasn’t a driv-ing force behind the pro-posed merger, but it was a factor, Sprink said.

The financial regula-tions were passed because of the failings of mega banks, he said.

But nearly all of the new regulations affect smaller banks like Coastal and Prime Pacific.

“All banks continue to

feel the burden of a lot of regulation, and we’re only about halfway through the rulemaking process,” Sprink said.

This is the largest merger of banks with branches heavily centered in Snohomish County since Heritage merged with Whidbey Island Bank last year.

Expect more bank mergers to happen, said Mark MacDonald, president and CEO of Community Bankers of Washington, a group that represents independent community banks in the state.

“Certainly mergers are going to happen, because there are good fits between organiza-tions, and I think that’s the case between Coastal and Prime Pacific,” MacDon-ald said.

Smaller banks are devot-ing between 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 full-time employees to make sure they’re in com-pliance with the new rules, MacDonald said.

“When you’re a small bank, that becomes very

painful, to have that many resources dedicated to compliance,” MacDonald said.

MacDonald was part of a contingent of com-munity bankers headed to Washington, D.C., in late April to press lawmakers about the very issue.

“When people talk about banks, they tend to think about the Wall Street banks, not the Main Street banks, the ones up on Colby,” MacDonald said. ““It’s our goal to get politicians to understand the difference between Main Street and Wall Street banks.”

In his opinion, regu-lation should be tiered, based on the size of a bank and the complexity of banking, MacDonald said.

And there should be multiple layers, with banks with $50 million in assets regulated far differently than banks with $20 bil-lion or more in assets.

He said there’s value in community and regional banks because those insti-tutions are often the ones that will take chances on new or struggling small businesses.

If lawmakers don’t sup-port tiered regulation, MacDonald said, there will be fewer community banks in the future.

“I believe the big banks would love regulatory relief,” MacDonald said. “But I don’t believe they would support tiered regu-lation, because they would love to see the small banks disappear.”

What’s nextCoastal Community Bank of Everett, with 142 employees and 11 branches in Snohomish and Island counties, plans to merge with Prime Pacific Bank of Lynnwood, with 32 employees and three branches -- two in south Snohomish County and one in Kenmore.

Prime Pacific shareholder are to vote on the deal in May or June; no vote is required for Coastal shareholders.

The merger is expected to close by the third quarter of this year if the banks obtain regulatory approval. Signs for the banks will change after that. The computer systems will be integrated by next February.

Merger allows banks to deal with coming challenges

D avid Beyer believes it’s called a community college for a reason.

Since the first day of classes in 1941, when 128 students gathered in an old elementary school building, Everett Community College has been provid-ing higher education to local students, and many of those students have used what they’ve learned to give back to their community.

“Success has been here a long time,” said Beyer, EvCC’s president. “We’ve touched a lot of individuals who have been successful and influential in Sno-homish County.”

Beyer, 66, has made two-year colleges his life’s work. He’s been a teacher and an administrator at them for four decades, and he even earned his Ph.D. in commu-nity college administration.

Since taking the reins of EvCC in 2006, Beyer has overseen a period of tremen-dous expansion in both campus size and curriculum.

With the arrival of Washington State University North Puget Sound last July, the region gained a research institution and the campus expanded its portfolio of in-demand transfer programs.

Several months later, the Advanced Manufacturing Training & Education Center opened, immediately becoming a hub for workforce training as well as workforce development.

For his efforts in redefining EvCC’s role in the region without shedding the school’s local identity, Beyer has been named the 2015 Herald Business Journal Executive of the Year.

■ ■ ■

The oldest of seven children, Beyer was born and raised in northern Iowa. He was taught from a young age to value education.

“My mom was the oldest of six, and no one went to college in her family. My dad is the youngest of six, and he’s the only one who went to college,” Beyer said. “They were so adamant about education, and us pursuing education, and also us being involved in education.”

Nearly all of Beyer’s siblings have been teachers at some point in their lives. Beyer’s father, a World War II vet-eran, attended a small college on the G.I. Bill and taught business classes at a high school.

Beyer followed closely in his dad’s foot-steps, graduating from an Iowa university and teaching and counseling high school

students. He had the summer off, so he took some part-time work at a nearby community college.

“I thought, ‘Boy this would be an inter-esting place to work,’” Beyer said. “Two years later, I had a job at a community college. That’s how I got involved with these institutions, and I’ve been involved ever since.”

There was something special about the two-year college that attracted Beyer, something uniquely American.

“We borrowed all of our education from other countries, but community college was actually established in the United States in 1901, with Joliet Junior College,” Beyer said, referencing the Illi-nois institution. “Other countries now look at the two-year institution as some-thing they want to borrow from us.”

Today, community colleges provide instruction to almost half of all Ameri-can students pursuing higher education. Beyer has worked with these students in four different states as both a teacher and administrator. He eventually took his first presidency at Flathead Valley Com-munity College in Kalispell, Montana.

By 2006, he had made his way out to

Vancouver, Washington, and was doing some consulting for Boise State Univer-sity. The late Tom Koenninger, a member of the Washington State Board for Com-munity & Technical Colleges at the time, nominated Beyer for the vacant EvCC presidency. Beyer visited the area and liked what he saw.

“Lo and behold, they hired me,” he said.

Tom Gaffney, a former member of EvCC’s Board of Trustees, was part of the committee that hired Beyer.

“In hindsight, that was probably the best thing I ever did as a trustee,” Gaffney said. “All the credentials were there, but the more important thing is you just con-nected with the guy. You felt like it was a good fit.”

■ ■ ■

Beyer’s administration hit the ground running. Soon after his arrival, EvCC and Providence Regional Medial Center Everett finalized a land swap that dou-bled the size of the campus. But as the school’s physical opportunity for growth expanded, resources diminished. From

2008 to 2014, state support for EvCC dropped by $9 million. Excitement was tempered, grand ideas put on hold.

One of those ideas was for the Advanced Manufacturing Training & Education Center (AMTEC), which had been mapped out in the early 2000s due to the region’s demand for manufacturing and aerospace talent.

Even so, the college forged ahead on the center. Instead of waiting for the state to fund the $7 million project, EvCC combined nearly $4 million in its savings with $3 million from grants and outside stakeholders.

“David is well-known and well respected in the community,” Gaff-ney said. “That helps when you’re approaching organizations to help fund programs.”

AMTEC opened in October. It com-bines four existing EvCC programs — welding and fabrication, precision machining, composites, and engineer-ing technology — to replicate a factory setting. Industry professionals work with the college to design the curriculum, and the students have a high rate of becoming industry professionals themselves (90 per-

“The I-5 corridor is the major manu-facturing corridor not only in the state, but in this region,” Beyer said. “If you read all the statistics, we’re probably one of the largest manufacturing corridors in the country.”

John Bonner, executive director of Cor-porate & Continuing Education at EvCC, said AMTEC “simply wouldn’t have hap-pened without Beyer’s leadership.”

“The idea floated around, but the col-lege didn’t have the funding or the vision in place to go out there and make it hap-pen,” Bonner said. “He recognized the need in the community to move now.”

AMTEC is based in a warehouse that EvCC secured in the Providence land swap. Also planned on space from that trade is the new 95,000-square feet Uni-versity Center building. The Legislature is considering in this session a request by WSU to spend more than $50 million on constructing the building.

Last year, EvCC transferred control of the center, a consortium of four-year colleges currently based in Gray Wolf Hall, to the Pullman-based research institution.

The new building is set to open as early as 2017. WSU has offered a mechanical engineering degree at the center since 2012, but establishing WSU North Puget Sound has allowed the school to set up four-year programs in mechanical and

Last year, EvCC transferred control of the center, a consortium of four-year colleges currently based in Gray Wolf Hall, to the Pullman-based research institution.

The new building is set to open as early as 2017. WSU has offered a mechanical engineering degree at the center since 2012, but establishing WSU North Puget Sound has allowed the school to set up four-year programs in mechanical and

electrical engineering, as well as hospital-ity management and communication.

“We always want our four-year part-ners to be close to us,” Beyer said. “The closer the better.”

There were initially concerns that the other four-year schools would be pushed out of the center upon WSU’s arrival, but that hasn’t happened.

“Everett Community College did a wonderful job managing the University Center, no question about that. But things change,” said Bob Drewel, the interim chancellor of WSU Everett.

Drewel, who was the president of EvCC from the late 80’s to the early 90’s, said Beyer has done an excellent job man-aging the handoff.

“There’s that old saying, ‘When the seas get rough, you look for a buoy.’ David’s that buoy for Everett Community College,” Drewel said.

One of the other four-year schools at the center is the University of Washing-ton Bothell, which last year partnered with EvCC for a nursing program called “1+2+1.” The program allows students to begin college at UW Bothell, spend the next two years at EvCC and then return

to UW Bothell to graduate.All the changes have come with their

fair share of headaches. There are space concerns, parking issues, a lack of student housing. State funding has dropped and tuition has increased. And then there’s an ideological problem: how can the school keep growing without compromising its identity?

“In any organization, when you’re growing rapidly you feel like you’re losing sense of who you are and where you’ve been,” Beyer admitted. “You lose people who have been here for a lot of years. You lose a lot of institutional memory. But if we engage ourselves with the commu-nity, we can balance and manage who we are, and what we want to be, and what we want to do for the community.”

■ ■ ■

Beyer says what keeps him coming back to EvCC is the same simple thing that has kept him in education for 40 years: he likes it.

“I like my work more than I’ve ever liked it, which is interesting because I’m entering the sunset of my career. If I get

to the end of my contract, I’ll be kind of surprised,” said Beyer, whose contract ends in 2018. “That’s the way I feel today — but, I’m in the fourth quarter of a long academic year.”

For Gigi Burke, the chair of the EvCC Board of Trustees, anytime Beyer chooses to leave the college will be too soon.

“I don’t want to see David ever leave,” Burke said. “That will be a sad day, and those will be huge shoes to fill. That’s going to be a difficult, difficult challenge.”

Beyer lives in rural Snohomish with his wife, Janelle. They have one son and a new granddaughter. In his free time he cycles and takes walks. He likes to be out in his garden, which reminds him of time spent with his grandfather when he was growing up.

“I think of him when I’m outdoors all the time, him telling me things about keeping the weeds out of your flower-bed, and raising your vegetable garden. I remember those things almost like it was yesterday,” Beyer said. “History is import-ant to me, the history of where I came from and how I got to who I am.”

The history of Everett Community College has also been valuable to him. He has studied it, learned from it, respected it and now become part of it.

The relationships he has helped forge led to unprecedented expansion, and with a backdrop of increasingly global employ-ers, EvCC’s reach is farther than ever before. But thanks in large part to the steady hand of David Beyer, the college will continue to remain what it has always been: a part of the community.

“There’s that old saying, ‘When the seas get rough, you look for a buoy.’ David’s that buoy for Everett Community College.”

International shipping is what helps make Scut-tlebutt Brewing one of the leaders in the craft beer industry, said Eric Radovich, executive direc-tor of the Washington Beer Commission, based in Shoreline.

“It’s one of the few craft breweries that even ships internationally, which I think is very entrepreneur-ial of them,” he said.

From four simple ingredients: water, hops, yeast and grain — mostly malted barley, but some-times wheat — Scut-tlebutt’s brewers, led by head brewer and 15-year Scuttlebutt veteran Matt Stromberg, create vari-ations of the refreshing elixir Bannan never ceases to enjoy.

The company’s biggest seller is its Gale Force IPA, Bannan said. His favorite beer at the moment is the winter seasonal 10 Below ale, but he also likes the Weizenbock and is never averse to trying new brews.

“Beer has always been my favorite beverage,” he said.

Considering the

By Jennifer SasseenFor The Herald Business Journal

Scuttlebutt Brewing Co. owner Phil Bannan Sr., the Herald Business Journal’s Entrepreneur of the Year, is a man known for his capability at the helm.

He’s been a Port of Everett commissioner as well as executive director of the Port of Everett. He was also executive direc-tor of the city of Everett under former Mayor Ed Hansen.

“Phil has a reputation of being bright, having common sense and being very ethical,” said Jim Lan-gus, who was Everett’s top administrator, in charge of day-to-day operations, when Bannan worked for Hansen.

Raised in Los Ange-les, Bannan first came to Everett in 1967 to work for Western Gear Corp., a heavy-machinery man-ufacturer started by his grandfather and employ-ing some 3,000 people across the country. The job took him to several cit-ies in 10 years, but he and his family finally settled in Everett in 1977.

Western Gear, which built the turntable on which the Space Needle restaurant revolves for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair, was later sold to a Midwestern company. Its former site on the Everett waterfront is now part of the U.S. Navy base.

These days Bannan, 75, owns a microbrewery near downtown Everett and a restaurant on the water-front. He and his wife have four grown children: Maggie, twins Judy and Janet and son, Phil Jr., who manages the restaurant.

His father is a very smart man and a good sounding board, Phil Jr. said.

Car dealership owner Dwayne Lane, a regular at the restaurant, said he has a lot of respect for Bannan.

“He’s a self-starter, he’s loyal and he has vision,” Lane said.

Add to that a willingness to do whatever needs to be done — whether it be sweeping the floor or heft-ing beer kegs — as well

as a propensity to think things through before tak-ing action, and it’s clear Bannan is the right guy for Entrepreneur of the Year, he said.

“I just think he’s as good as you’ve got in Everett,” Lane said.

Others agreed, includ-ing Langus and Port of Everett attorney Brad Cattle.

“Phil is such a terrific gentleman and a good per-son, I’m really glad he was

chosen Entrepreneur of the Year,” Langus said.

Said Cattle, “He’s con-tributed significantly to the community through his public service, and he’s built a great family business.”

That family business, which today employs about 75 people, started with a home-brewing kit Bannan’s wife bought him in 1990.

“I’d seen an article about home brewing and

I said, ‘Hey, that looks like fun,’” Bannan said. “And I guess my wife picked up on that.”

She’s the “Scuttlebutt” of the enterprise. Born to a Navy family in Nor-folk, Virginia, Cynthia Bannan’s father gave her the nickname because her impending birth had been the scuttlebutt, or gossip, of the base. After begging him to stop when she turned 13, he dropped the “butt” and she’s been

“Scuttle” ever since.Mostly, she feels hon-

ored the company bears her old nickname, she said, though she doesn’t take it too seriously.

“Phil just ran out of ideas,” she said, laughing. “Everybody else had ani-mals or mountains.”

Back to that home-brewing kit. Turns out, the beer he was able to make from it was pretty good, Bannan said.

Coupled with the

fact that craft breweries seemed to be popping up everywhere, it got Bannan to thinking about starting his own microbrewery.

“They were growing at a phenomenal rate,” he said, “and it was the right time in our lives to make a change.”

His wife, now 71, was right there with him.

“I told Phil he wasn’t getting any younger,” she said, “and ‘if you’re going to do it, you’d better do it now.’ ”

Plans for a microbrew-ery changed course when it was discovered that zon-ing laws didn’t jibe with a brewery at the favored site on West Marine View Drive in Everett.

“The zoning code wouldn’t allow a brewery,” Bannan said, “but it’s OK to have a restaurant. And it’s OK for a restaurant to have a brewery in the back room.”

And so the Scuttlebutt restaurant was born along with the brewery.

Phil Jr., who was just out of college and helped with actual construction of the restaurant — completed by Gaffney Construction in 1996 — said his parents worked 14-hour days to get the restaurant up and running.

His oldest sister, Mag-gie, and her husband, Pat Doud — Scuttlebutt’s first brewer — also put in long hours.

“My parents and Mag-gie and Pat put in the real hard work of a start-up,” he said.

On July 4, 1996, Scuttle-butt brewed its first beer, taking Bannan from the five-gallon buckets of his home-brewing days to a 620-gallon — 20 barrel — tank system. The sys-tem included two 20-bar-rel fermenters and one 20-barrel bright tank, a tank used to clarify, mature and carbonate beer, as well as to store it.

That first year Scuttle-butt Brewing Co. brewed three styles of beer and sold 170 barrels. Today the company brews more than 20 styles of beer a year and in 2014, sold 7,635 bar-rels, shipping to at least 18 states and four coun-

“Beer has always been my favorite beverage,” he said.

Considering the

growth in the industry, he’s not alone. In 2013, the latest years for which figures were available, there were 63 new brewer-ies in Washington, Bannan said.

“With so many people entering the business, we wonder how long that can last,” he said. “But so far, they’re still jumping in.”

His advice to those mak-ing the leap: “Don’t expect to get rich.”

The brewery is profit-

able now, he said, but the restaurant turned out to be a good decision, as it carried the business in the early years.

He said his wife is just as much a part of the business as he is, and that credit for its success should be shared with family, friends and many others.

“We’ve had some really good, loyal employees,” he said. “And then, our loyal customers, who drink in our restaurant and buy our

beer.”Regardless, Phil Jr. said

his father is the driving force behind Scuttlebutt.

“I think I would agree, it’s definitely a big team effort,” he said, “but he’s definitely the tip of the spearhead and we all fol-low him.”

Bannan’s wife Scuttle said, “We’re quite tickled for Phil,” being named Entrepreneur of the Year.

said, “but he deserves it.”Head brewer Stromberg

attributes Scuttlebutt’s success to Bannan’s “fru-gal” business sense and his steerage toward slow but steady growth.

“It’s a wonderful thing,” he said of Bannan’s award, adding, “He does deserve the credit, and Scuttle too.”

The company has expanded several times since the restaurant first opened its doors nearly 19 years ago.

In 2007, the brewery moved to a larger location at 1320 Cedar St., near downtown Everett, more than tripling its space and allowing the restaurant to also expand.

Then in 2011, the restaurant more than dou-bled its size when it moved to the Port of Everett’s new Waterfront Center on Craftsman Way.

Once more the brewery is in the process of expand-ing, into space formerly occupied by a tenant at the brewery property on Cedar Street. Separated from the brewery by a concrete-block wall, the space will be largely rebuilt before the wall is knocked out to join the two proper-ties, Bannan said.

The expansion will add about 5,300 square feet to the 7,500-square-foot brewery and mean the addition of at least two employees to the six-member brewery staff, he said. Production could increase to 24,000 barrels of beer a year.

As for Bannan, he said he’s still having fun in the business and has no plans to retire.

“I never want to,” he said. “A guy has to have something to do when he gets up in the morning.”

fact that craft breweries seemed to be popping up everywhere, it got Bannan to thinking about starting his own microbrewery.

“They were growing at a phenomenal rate,” he said, “and it was the right time in our lives to make a change.”

His wife, now 71, was right there with him.

“I told Phil he wasn’t getting any younger,” she said, “and ‘if you’re going to do it, you’d better do it now.’ ”

Plans for a microbrew-ery changed course when it was discovered that zon-ing laws didn’t jibe with a brewery at the favored site on West Marine View Drive in Everett.

“The zoning code wouldn’t allow a brewery,” Bannan said, “but it’s OK to have a restaurant. And it’s OK for a restaurant to have a brewery in the back room.”

And so the Scuttlebutt restaurant was born along with the brewery.

Phil Jr., who was just out of college and helped with actual construction of the restaurant — completed by Gaffney Construction in 1996 — said his parents worked 14-hour days to get the restaurant up and running.

His oldest sister, Mag-gie, and her husband, Pat Doud — Scuttlebutt’s first brewer — also put in long hours.

“My parents and Mag-gie and Pat put in the real hard work of a start-up,” he said.

On July 4, 1996, Scuttle-butt brewed its first beer, taking Bannan from the five-gallon buckets of his home-brewing days to a 620-gallon — 20 barrel — tank system. The sys-tem included two 20-bar-rel fermenters and one 20-barrel bright tank, a tank used to clarify, mature and carbonate beer, as well as to store it.

That first year Scuttle-butt Brewing Co. brewed three styles of beer and sold 170 barrels. Today the company brews more than 20 styles of beer a year and in 2014, sold 7,635 bar-rels, shipping to at least 18 states and four coun-

Chick-fil-A will open in Lynnwood on May 7th, the third of the first three restaurants in the Seattle area.

I couldn’t be happier.Finally, finally, finally, a mere 12.7 miles

will be the only thing between a delicious Chick-fil-A sandwich and my mouth. It’s like waking up from a good dream.

No, it’s like being awake in a good dream. A good dream that can happen any meal, any day of the week, except for Sunday, of course. I haven’t always been a Chick-fil-A superfan; Washington made me this way.

In Texas, where I am from, I was an average fan.

I like the food. The employees are polite. In the rare case I find myself at a Texas shopping mall, Chick-fil-A is the obvious food court winner. Clean, consis-tent and convenient equals what more to ask for under $7?

Take convenient out of the equation and things get a little crazy. For seven

long years, I have lived in a place absent of the 300 locations of my home state. This has turned me into a chicken-sand-wich-craving machine. Suddenly, waffle fries are comfort food. I want it as soon as I get off the plane in Austin.

I thought it was only me, but the saying “absence makes the heart grow fonder” rings true for anyone who is geographi-cally isolated from Chick-fil-A.

I see folks wearing Chick-fil-A shirts in

Everett. I see the red-and-white Chick-fil-A logo stickered across bumpers in Seattle. I’ve never seen these things in Texas. Why would one need to show allegiance to something so prevalent? It would be like wearing a McDonald’s let-ter jacket. Here, it shows you are part of the club.

I know there are some who won’t eat at Chick-fil-A, because of the political beliefs of the chain’s founders. I respect

your willpower. I understand we all have different beliefs, politics even ideas on how to raise children, but I leave the chicken sandwich out of it.

And if I don’t sound bonkers already, I have another revelation. Just like any childhood treat, I am ecstatic to share Chick-fil-A with my two boys, one 2 years old and the other 5 months.

In fact, I was able to do just that in April at the Bellevue location for research for this story (full disclosure: my belly is happy full o’ chicken sandwich as I type, a perk of the job).

Being a stay-at-home mom, I am already planning Chick-fil-A outings for me and my boys. My husband, who is normal, finds this idea entertaining and silly.

But he’s from Texas, so he gets it, too. With the opening of these three loca-

tions, I realize the club will become big-ger and the mania smaller.

A small part of me will miss the obses-sion but the whole of me will be happy a chicken sandwich will only be a drive-through away.

LYNNWOOD — Kongsberg Underwater Technology is chang-ing how we explore our oceans.

All within a stone’s throw of Alderwood Mall.

The oceanic exploration company, housed in a busi-ness park in Lynnwood, specializes in underwater cameras, sonar equipped motion sensors, transmit-ters and data recorders.

Kongsberg’s most excit-ing achievement is the Seaglider, a lemon-yellow, torpedo-shaped vehicle, with fixed black wings. It’s just under 6 feet long and weighs 114 pounds.

The Seaglider is an efficient — and cute — self-driving underwater exploration vehicle.

The Seaglider was first developed by the Uni-versity of Washington’s School of Oceanography and Applied Physics Lab, which is funded almost entirely by the federal Office of Naval Research.

The Navy declassified the technology, and the Applied Physics Lab was responsible for finding a commercial partner to license the technology.

As a local engineering group with almost three decades of experience pro-ducing and installing com-plex monitoring systems, Kongsberg Underwater was a perfect fit to license the Seaglider from UW.

Kongsberg Under-water produced its first Seagliders in late 2013. Seven employees were hired to manufacture the

product. Previously, the company was responsible for implanting software into systems hardware manufactured in other countries.

Now, Seagliders are pro-duced in the Kongsberg Underwater’s Lynnwood factory, with parts sourced from around Washington state.

“It’s very exciting to finally get to make some-thing here,” said Kongs-berg President and CEO Tom Healy.

The Seaglider is pro-grammed to dive up and down in the ocean, reaching depths of up to 3,200 feet. The Seaglider collects data about the ocean. When it reaches the water’s surface, the Seaglider directs its tail, a radium antenna, toward a satellite, transmitting its data to the customer.

The vehicle runs on a lithium battery costing $10,000. Data transmis-sion costs $1,000 each month.”

“When you consider that a good-sized research vessel costs about $50,000 a day to operate, this is pennies on the dollar,” said Rich Patterson, gen-eral manager of Kongs-

berg’s Underwater Glider Operations.

It can take the Seaglider five hours to reach depths of maximum depth.

This motion, called “buoyancy propulsion,” is the key to the Seaglider’s efficiency. Its design dras-tically reduces the cost of underwater exploration.

After the device is car-

ried to sea, no further manpower is required for its operation.

The Seaglider doesn’t get seasick. In fact, it’s so durable that it has survived shark bites. The Kongs-berg team laughed off the Seaglider’s puncture wounds that they found.

Each Seaglider’s path is programmed via satel-lite. The navigation path and data are exchanged between the Seaglider and customer as computer code.

The Seaglider’s func-tions include environmen-tal monitoring, physical and chemical oceanogra-phy, and longterm mon-itoring of biomass and behavior. Marine life mon-itoring is a valuable tool for commercial fishing and environmentists alike.

The vehicle’s compact design allows it to explore

extreme conditions, including polar climates.

Offshore oil drilling requires extensive explo-ration and the Seaglider can be equipped with sen-sors to detect deep-sea oil reservoirs.

The Seaglider can be further customized to meet a variety of demands.

Elizabeth Creed, a marine oceanographer who recently moved from the East Coast to work as a systems engineer at Kongsberg, conducts training courses for Sea-glider students.

Seaglider customers are trained at the Lynnwood office, and practice their skills inside a pool in the factory. After training, they get to practice out in the Puget Sound.

“This is a small group, and so we make sure that we are cross-trained,” Creed added. “So that we can go in and do what needs to be done.”

Kongsberg Under-water employs 40 peo-ple. More than a third have engineering degrees. The company celebrated its 27th anniversary this April. Its Norwegian par-ent company, Kongsberg Gruppen, celebrated its 200th anniversary last year.

The company is con-tinuing to advance its Seagliders applications to include more technology for monitoring the health of our oceans, measuring ocean acidification and the impact of industry on water quality and marine life.

“We don’t know enough about our oceans,” Healy said. “And we need to know more.”

Exploring the oceans in a new way

By Jessi LoerchHerald Writer

MONROE — A retired software designer hopes to give new life to a defunct golf course, only this time with plastic discs rather than golf balls.

Paul Clark of Snohomish opened Tall Firs Disc Golf Course in August. There are other disc golf courses in Snohomish County, but those courses are mainly in city parks and free to play.

Tall Firs is privately owned and charges a $5-a-day greens fee, but provides ame-nities like beer and coffee. It was also designed by John Houck, the top disc-golf course designer in the country.

Despite being open during the worst weather months of the year, Tall Firs has already developed a loyal following.

Clark purchased the land because he was “looking to do something sustainable to support a green space.” The land was still zoned for golf, but the turf on the course was shot from years of pesticide and herbicide use. Happily, though, per-fectly green grass is irrelevant for a disc golf course.

Clark is working to make Tall Firs a success for many reasons. Having Tall Firs succeed as a disc golf course makes that green space that much more valu-able. He also loves the sport and wants to boost it up.

“It’d be wonderful to see it go so well that we could buy another defunct golf course and do the same thing,” he said.

Tall Firs is located at 22110 Old Owen Road, Monroe, the site of the former Monroe Golf Course, which opened in the 1920s and was one of the earliest golf courses in the state.

The 18-hole course became less popu-lar over time and part of it was sold for a development. The rest was redesigned as a smaller course. Over time, even that fell into disrepair and the course closed. Clark fell in love with the property, and soon saw the potential for a disc golf course on the site.

“I thought about designing it myself for about 30 seconds,” he said.

Instead, he asked Houck, who lives in Austin, Texas, and has designed about 90 courses since 1984. Houck said he enjoyed meeting with Clark and seeing his drive for creating the course.

Clark said all disc golf courses have a tree problem. They either have too many or too few. For disc golf, trees set the physical barriers for the course. Most often, courses have too many trees. Tall Firs was the exception. Overall, it had too few trees. In the end, Clark and Houck added about 150 trees .

They enlisted the aid of Todd Holmes of Big Trees in Snohomish. Holmes was ideally suited for the job.

He grew up playing disc golf in Mon-tana. His extensive tree knowledge and understanding of disc golf helped Holmes select the trees that would work best for Tall Firs.

Holmes helped choose trees that would serve specific roles on the course. Some trees, like excelsa cedar, are good screen-ing trees. They’ll stop discs and provide a nice perimeter to the course. Other trees

were lower growing, like serviceberry, which is “nice for stopping hard drives down at a lower level,” Holmes said.

Clark is proud of the course and the job Houck did designing it.

And the course will keep improving. Houck said that, if the trees were grown in, the course would be as good as some of the courses ranked in the top-20 in the

world right now.“In my mind it’s a really special place.

Paul has to get a lot of credit for that,” Houck said.

Regular player Jeremy Frieling moved to Monroe about two years ago. He had previously lived near a disc golf course in Sumner. When he arrived in Monroe, he waited impatiently for Tall Firs to open.

Each Saturday morning, Frieling orga-nizes the random draw doubles. Play-ers show up at 10:30 a.m., are randomly paired, and then compete for prizes and bragging rights. Frieling said doubles attendance usually averages about 16 people, and the largest turnout was 36 people. Even on rainy, windy days, a few hardy folks show up to play.

On one such day, Tom Brown and his son Kenny Brown of Marysville were hanging around a practice basket, get-ting in a few putts and chatting before a round of random doubles. Tom has been playing for 30 years and Kenny for four years. Tom Brown says a big benefit of Tall Firs is that it’s not in a publicly owned park. The first use of the area is for disc golf. Holes didn’t have to be designed around existing park features.

Clark has a professional history in

designing video games inferfaces, which means he’s got a lot of experience think-ing about how people want to use a prod-uct. And he’s putting that experience to work on his course. He is trying to give people a reason to keep coming back .

“At many courses you play and then you either play again or go home,” he said. “There’s no reason to linger.”

With the greens fee, Clark provides players with free coffee, which is specially roasted by Dave Stewart, a cofounder of Seattle’s Best Coffee. The beans are for sale on the course. He also sells beers, which players are welcome to take with them on the course.

Clark has also found a way to get peo-ple out at night, a clever trick on a golf course. Once or twice a week, he offers glow disc. All of the baskets are lit up with lights.

He also sells little LED lights that players can tape to their disc, to track the flight path. Tall Firs has a pro shop, where people can test out and buy discs, bags and attire. He keeps a few loaner discs for those who are new to the sport .

He sells Westside Discs, a brand from Finland. Clark has Finnish ancestry, but even without that connection, he believes Westside makes the best discs in the world. The discs also don’t require a break-in period, like many discs do, Clark said.

The course is an ongoing project for Clark. He will eventually be renovating the clubhouse, which has gone through several evolutions, including some time as a restaurant. He wants to restore it to its previous condition as a clubhouse.

Tom Brown said he and his son are willing to travel a bit to visit Tall Firs. The course and the atmosphere are appealing and “the owner is a great, warm person,” he said.

“You feel like you’re part of the family.”

Any way you slice it, the Snohomish Pie Co.’s opening of its second store in Mountlake Terrace was a sweet success.

Owner Jenny Brien lost count of how much pie was served — mostly in pieces selling for $3.14 each to commemorate Pi Day on March 14th — but said “at least 125 pies went out the door”.

And business is still good. Since Pi Day, the Mountlake Terrace store has done three to four times the daily volume of the Snohomish store, Brien said. That means 75 to 100 pies baked each day in Mountlake Terrace, compared to 20 to 30 in Snohomish.

That’s a lot of pies. While happy with the new store’s success, Brien said she’s still understaffed and has been relying on friends, relatives and Snohomish store employees to fill in while she builds her team.

“I love my team, absolutely adore my team,” she said, “but it’s hard to find those people. It takes time to find people that are willing to work hard and thoroughly and be excellent in everything they do.”

In the interim, Brien decided to close both stores for one day a week — Sno-homish on Tuesdays and Mountlake Terrace on Mondays — to catch up to the increase in business. Mountlake Ter-race store hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. The store is located at 5602 232nd St. SW.

In addition to pies, which include apple, apple-berry crumb, pecan, chocolate pecan, cherry and cream pies, Snohom-ish Pie Co. offers cinnamon rolls, baked cookies, as well as a lunch menu until 4 p.m. of sandwiches, soups and salads. Everything is homemade but the soup.

And everything in the Mountlake Ter-race shop is new except for the stained concrete floor, she said, including the electricity and plumbing. The former site of a dry cleaner, the building was gutted and rebuilt according to Brien’ specifica-tions, so she was able to put her baker’s mark on the place.

Of course, in Brien’s shop, “new” is a relative term. She hired Seattle-based firm Marian Built — which repurposes old materials for new uses — to fash-ion the rolling-pin chandelier dangling from the high ceiling. Old barns supplied the wood for the Marian Built tables, as well as the boards — still retaining their faded red paint — on the front side of the food counter. Other wood came from old high-school bleachers and the light fix-tures above the food counter are collec-tions of old wire whisks.

Brien, 32, has owned the Snohomish Pie Co. — in business about 19 years — since Aug. 1, 2009. That day happened to be Brien and husband Ryan’s six-year wedding anniversary. Also momentous, their first son, Lincoln, was born just one week earlier. So it was a very busy time in her life, but Brien figured she was up to the challenge.

Brien has faced tougher challenges. She was just 16 and her brother, Jeff, 29, when their parents, Joe and Linda Knight, 54

and 52, were killed with 86 others on Jan. 31, 2000, when Alaska Airlines Flight 261 plunged into the Pacific Ocean 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

Founders and co-pastors of The Rock Church, a nondenominational Christian church in Monroe that started in their liv-ing room, the Knights had been returning from a mercy mission to Mexico, helping to feed and clothe poor families living around Puerto Vallarta’s dump.

She might have turned away from her faith in the wake of such devastating news. But Brien did not. Something told her, she said, “If any time is the time to grab ahold of God, now is the time.”

She is forever grateful that her brother and his wife, Melinda, stepped into the void and assumed parenting roles. Today The Rock Church figures largely in Brien’s life. It’s where her brother and his wife now co-pastor and where Brien met

her husband.Her husband’s been very supportive

of Brien’s pie venture and helps care for their two children — Lincoln, now nearly 5, and Elliot, who turns 3 this month — when he’s not away on assignment as a freelance filmmaker.

Brien continues her parents’ legacy of giving, donating 10 percent of her prof-its to The Rock Church for charitable works. She gives to local school auctions and last year, donated nearly 1,000 pieces of pie to Oso rescue workers. It’s how she was raised and it’s her recipe for success.

“I figure that that’s why we’ve done so well,” she said, “and so, I’m not going to change. Just because you become success-ful doesn’t mean you should change what you did to become successful.”

It was that success that first drew the attention of Kirk Ishizaki, an owner of the West Plaza shopping center in Mount-

lake Terrace.“We were looking for just a really great

bakery,” Ishizaki said, and Snohomish Pie Company ranked high on King 5’s Best of Western Washington lists for Best Des-serts and Best Bakery.

Brien had been thinking about open-ing a second store for some time, she said. She had never been to Mountlake Terrace and was contemplating a site in Kirkland. Then Ishizaki visited Brien’s Snohom-ish store and talked her into meeting for lunch at the Diamond Knot Brewery.

Afterward, Brien sat in her car in the parking lot and watched customers streaming in and out of Double D Meats.

“Double D Meats was the deci-sion-maker for me,” she said.

The pie company is the perfect addition to the shopping center, said Kim Nygard, who’s worked at Double D Meats for 30 years and just bought the 60-year-old company from her retired father.

“We absolutely love them,” Nygard said. “Are you kidding? We’re like a match made in heaven.”

Brien’s success is about more than just pie, said family friend Vicki Lockman, who first taught Brien how to bake an apple pie back when Brien was 10.

“You can like pie,” Lockman said, “but she is obviously a really good business-woman as well.”

Brien said she never had any formal training, but she reads a lot. And she dreams. She dreams of someday turning the Snohomish Pie Company into a non-profit, she said, adding, “It’s my heart.”

And she dreams of continuing to grow.“I had always dreamt of a second loca-

tion,” Brien said. “And now I dream of a third.”

People usually get into the fitness busi-ness to either make money or because they love to workout.

Mike Liberato says he got into the business to help.

Liberato, 44, is the owner of Team Fit-ness in Lake Stevens, one of the largest gyms in Snohomish County.

Sure, he wants to run a business and make a profit.

He loves to workout. Liberato also wants to see his patrons succeed and improve their lives in every way.

That’s why he designed the 25,000-square-foot facility to include not only a gym and workout machines, but also a physical therapy clinic, a chiroprac-tor’s office, a nutritionist, a smoothie bar and a spa. There’s a full complement of dairy- and gluten-free health products for sale.

That focus on total well-being comes from his own experience.

At 15, Liberato went from star wrestler to intensive care at what is now Provi-dence Regional Medical Center Everett in a few days.

He remembers going with his mom to the grocery store and finding it hard to push the cart.

Later that night, he had trouble turning the knob on the television.

The next morning he planned to run five miles but he felt so fatigued he couldn’t — that was unusual for Liber-ato, a tough athlete who normally pushed through anything.

After three days of tests at the hospi-tal, doctors finally diagnosed Liberato with a rare autoimmune disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome, afflicting only about one person in 100,000, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. It can happen to anybody at any age.

The disease attacked his peripheral nervous system, and he was soon para-lyzed from the neck down.

No one knows why the disease strikes some people and not others. It’s not con-tagious. The outlook can be grim.

“They didn’t know if I could walk again,” he said.

Whether it was naivety or sheer stub-bornness, Liberato was determined to get better as quickly as possible.

He focused on the solution and not the problem.

He poured his energy into rehabilitat-ing his body. After six months he was still in a wheelchair.

“I used to go on 10-mile wheelchair ride,” he said. “My thinking was, ‘OK, if I’m going to be paralyzed, then I’m going to the Olympics in wheelchair rac-ing.’ I was at the point where I realized

I couldn’t change the cards I was dealt. I was going to try to have the highest qual-ity of life possible.”

After two years of hard work, Liberato was able to walk without braces and a cane. His lower legs never fully recovered.

Nearly two decades later he can feel his feet and calves but can’t move them nor-mally. His muscles below the knees have atrophied.

Yet, he can walk, run and even teach kick boxing. He remains trim and fit.

Liberato used that experience to choose a career in fitness.

He opened Team Fitness at 1109 Fron-tier Circle E, No. A, in Lake Stevens in 2002.

Liberato wants his clients to feel this is a second home, the place they’d spend the most time after home and work.

He encourages his staff to greet every person by name so they don’t feel like a number.

He married his sweetheart, Cheri, a nutritionist he met at his gym. They have an infant daughter, Isabella, who he often straps to his chest and carries around the gym.

Even after a dozen years in the busi-

ness, there’s still plenty of challenges. Liberato recently shut down another

Team Fitness gym in Snohomish. While the Lake Stevens loca-

tion is flourishing, Liberato says his Snohomish location never made money and he suspects it’s just a different demographic.

His greatest challenge in Lake Ste-vens is finding good-quality staff for the amount he can pay them. He currently employs about 70 people, most of them are part-time staff.

The fitness industry business model generally relies on selling memberships to people who don’t show up. Liber-ato wants his members to show up and workout.

Liberato says it’s typical for only about 5 percent of a gym’s members to actively work out. He says 15 to 20 percent of his members come regularly.

“I try to make things as easy as possible for members,” he said. “There’s enough things in the world to keep them from working out.”

SILVANA — Willow & Jim’s Country Cafe is back.

The popular restaurant that attracts diners from northwestern Washington and lower British Colum-bia has re-opened in Sil-vana after being demol-ished and rebuilt over the past year.

The brick building that had housed the business since 1951, through five owners, has been replaced by a new “old” early 1900s-style gray-and-white structure more in keeping with older down-town structures.

Its modern enhance-ments — new flooring, lighting and kitchen equipment — are over-shadowed by the pop-ular old-time styling, mismatched tablecloths, table and chairs and the down-home welcoming atmosphere that made the original cafe so popular for

decades.Willow Payne, who

owns the business with her husband, Jim, said the restaurant at 1420 Pio-neer Highway still has its same popular menu, pie choices that range from apple and blackberry to banana cream and many other flavors, friendly service and an eclectic environment.

“It’s still got that Sil-

vana country charm,” she said, “but with a freshened old-style look. Coast Con-struction Group in Arling-ton did a terrific job of blending old and new.”

One thing the cafe still has is a steady flow of people all day long. One thing it won’t have is up to 13 inches of water in the restaurant during flood times.

“The building used to

have a basement,” Jim Payne said, “It always filled up during flooding and rose into the restau-rant because we’re in the Stillaguamish River flood zone.

“Now we have a solid foundation that keeps us dry well above the high-est record flood levels. We had to either rebuild or move on. The new floor-ing also is easy to clean.

We often get farmers and others tracking in mud. We want them to feel comfortable with that and now it’s easier for us to clean.”

Jim Payne cooked for years at Arlington’s popu-lar Blue Bird Cafe, before his and his wife the Silvana restaurant nearly 15 years ago.

They’ve built the busi-ness into one of the area’s most popular cafes. With plenty of word-of-mouth promotion and a Face-book web site that has more than 800 “likes” from satisfied customers, Willow & Jim’s Country Cafe has a loyal following that continues to grow.

The cafe features spe-cial “bikers’ breakfast” and also holds an annual Fourth of July fundraising day for the Silvana Fire Department.

Both cooks and wait-resses dedicate a free day of work to raise money for the community’s fire-fighters, hitting more than $3,000 in one recent year.

This year’s event will mark the cafe’s 15th firefighter’s event.

“They’re a great bunch of people and we all depend on them not only fire protection but for pumping out buildings when they’re flooded and other community ser-vices,” Willow Payne said.

The new cafe building fits in well in the commu-nity, looking like a business in front and a large style home in the back, which it will soon become.

“The upstairs space is empty now but we’ll be making our home there,” Jim said. “We’ve lived on Camano Island for 25 years and it’s a 40-minute drive to the cafe.”

Silvana is less thriving than when it was a big agricultural center, but it continues to draw people to the cafe, the popular Silvana Meats, an antique store and other attractions in its small business dis-trict on Pioneer Highway, only two miles west of I-5 at the Arlington exit.

Jim and Willow Payne re-opened their business, Willow & Jim’s Country Cafe in March. The popular cafe has been around in one form or another for more than 50 years.

I n most businesses, successful or strug-gling, large or small,

situations arise where important deci-sions have to be made. Some-times these decisions will affect the future of the business, but sometimes they are more of a personal, career building nature.

Whatever the specific nature of the decision, it often creates a demand for good advice.

Over the years, life and literature have provided all sorts of names for the sources of this advice.

Mentor, counselor, adviser, consigliere and rabbi, are a few of the most commonly used terms but there are others as well.

One name is not included, possibly because in most cases no words of advice are actually spoken: behavior model.

Behavior models are invaluable in life and in business.

One example is Doug, a former boss of mine who often spent a part of his evenings working on alge-bra problems.

When he mentioned this to me, my first thought was that it was a very odd pastime, but he was such a great guy to work with that it seemed like a harm-less eccentricity.

It took a while, but it eventually became clear that there was more to it.

We worked in a tech-nical area and it finally dawned on me what the evening algebra problems were all about.

He wanted to make sure that his mind and his basic math skills stayed sharp so that he “thought techni-cally” in his approach to problems at work.

Eventually I came to recognize also that it was part of his preparation for the responsibilities of his position.

We all tried to keep up with the technology changes, but he took it one step further. He was

responsible for all of us and he was making sure his mind was ready to absorb and understand the

problems we were working on as well as the information in the technical journals and other sources. It was all so that he would be a better manager.

It was this, as well as the way he communi-cated with his staff and spoke of them to the higher ups —

making sure that they were credited with any outstanding work done, for example — that really impressed me.

I had never encoun-tered anyone quite like that before, and began, as best I could, to model my work behavior after his — including trying to prepare and keep my mind ready for the job and its responsibilities…even, gulp, if that entailed an algebra problem or two.

If you are lucky enough to have a workplace behav-ior model that fits you and lets you progress, you will still have need for good advice — and a mentor is one source.

A mentor, however, is a very different animal from a behavior model. Men-tors are capable of giving us wise and timely advice about workplace decisions and career choices even though we cannot be, or might not want to be, any-thing like them.

A mentor is most typi-cally part of the same orga-nization as you, although that is not an ironclad rule.

Mentors are one type of adviser, and if you have had any experience with advisers you know how different they can be.

Some take a genuine interest in your progress and others, well, seem to see you and your ques-tions as time-wasting nuisances.

Don’t waste time with mentors who are unin-terested in you. Be diplo-matic, but gradually and systematically wind down

the contact time. In most cases your waning interest will be welcomed.

Unlike mentors, other advisers may come from other companies, or may be family members, friends, or individuals you have worked with and come to trust.

And trust is a key word, not to be confused with advice that is always spot on.

The iron-clad rule in selecting an adviser is that they treat the conversa-tion as absolutely confi-dential. And sometimes that is all that’s needed: a conversation.

Talking through a deci-sion or problem often pro-vides the answer. No spe-cific advice is necessary.

An adviser like this is more like a “consigliere,” a Mafia term for the per-

son that the boss trusts for advice and for taking care of business and sometimes personal matters as well — all in absolute confidence.

For most of us, though, finding the right indi-vidual for this role is difficult, often disappoint-ing, and often determined by chance more than design.

If you are lucky enough to find both a behavior

model and a consigliere in your life, you don’t have guaranteed success but you are better equipped and prepared for it than most of the competition. The rest of the job is up to you.

BUSINESS BUILDERS

I recently had an all too common experience with a new client.

The owner was proudly sharing his rate of cus-tomer acquisition, which

was 37 percent last year. So I asked, “What was

your retention rate over the same period?” His grin immediately turned into a groan as he replied,

“I’m not sure.”Together we ran the

numbers and determined that his retention rate was 65 percent, indicating a 35 percent churn rate, which

equated to a net increase of only 2 percent. You need to know the average purchase per customer and the cost of acquisition to determine the growth

rate in dollar value. A company’s growth

rate depends on three metrics: 1) average value of a purchase, 2) average number of repeat pur-chases (life-time value), and 3) cost of acquir-ing a new customer.

The calcu-lation of the lifetime value (LTV) of a customer is:

Average purchase x number of purchases – cost of acquisition = net lifetime value.

Once you subtract your churn rate from your acquisition rate — knowing your lifetime value from the calculation above — you’ll have your company’s rate of growth expressed in dollars.

Here are some strate-gies for improving your growth rate by decreasing cost of acquisition and churn rates.

Decreasing the cost of customer acquisition.

Measure the return on investment on each promotional channel separately. Use separate phantom phone numbers, landing pages and promo codes so you can track and tabulate the results generated by each chan-nel. Divide the monthly cost of each channel by the number of customers it produces each month. Canceling the channels that don’t produce a posi-tive return on investment will lower your average acquisition cost.

Decreasing customer defection (churn rate). The best way to curb churn rates is to under-stand the underlying causes of the churn.

Interviewing recently lost customers is a great way to spot trends so you’ll know where to focus improvements. A lost customer is not neces-sarily motivated to partic-ipate in an interview. The two best practices are to keep the interview short, and offer an incentive.

Prevention is less costly than intervention. The

most effective thing you can do to reduce cus-tomer defection is to stay tuned to the early warn-ing signs that a customer may defect,. Be proac-tive by reaching out to prevent the defection.

Increasing the lifetime value of a customer.

There are two ways to increase this value: 1)

increase the amount they spend per purchase, and 2) increase the number of times they purchase.

You can increase the average amount of each purchase by providing appropriate up-sell and cross-sell offerings.

Cross-selling refers to offering multiple products related to the primary product, e.g. a bank check-ing account and a CD.

Up-selling refers to offering multiple versions of the same product, e.g. mobile phone plans that offer more data and faster speeds.

You can increase the frequency of purchases, and/or the length of time you retain the customer through promotions and alternative uses of your product, and through loyalty programs.

Promoting alternative uses for your product or a discount can increase the frequency of purchases, e.g. Chex cereals promot-ing Chex Party Mix with a coupon in each box.

Beyond remembering special occasions and offering loyalty programs, the best retention strategy is to consistently deliver a stellar brand experience.

In summary, calculate your rate of growth. Then look for opportunities to increase your growth rate by decreasing cost of acquisition and churn rates, and increasing the lifetime value of your customers. Keep your eye on all three growth rate metrics and you’ll be smiling all the way to the bank.

How to increase your rate of growth

Andrew Ballard

Growth Strategies

L ike pop ups on websites are annoying, so are those creative or nagging to do’s that pop up in

our minds when we’re in the middle of a project.

What are you supposed to do? Do you stop what you’re doing to complete the other task or keep going and hope you remember what you thought of?

How do you protect your time, prevent anything from falling through the cracks and keep your focus dialed in?

Follow these six guidelines to help you when those pop up thoughts and distrac-tions threaten to take you off track.

Embrace a mantra. This mantra sounds so basic and it is.

The nice thing about strategies that are really basic or easy is that we don’t have to work too hard to turn them into habits. I say, the easier the better.

So, the next time you feel your mind ready to wander, say to yourself, “Right now I am…”

Fill in the blank. “Right now I am writ-ing a report.” “Right now I am sending emails.” “Right now I am making phone calls.”

You get the picture. Giving your brain a reminder about what you’re working on will help you stay focused.

Know when to say when. The more projects, activities and roles that you take on, the more tasks you have to complete.

There’s nothing wrong with being ambitious, but you should be careful to balance how much you put on your plate.

When you say yes to an abundance of opportunities, it can lead to burnout, mistakes, and too many ideas and to do’s buzzing around in your head.

Consider that when you say yes to something, you’re saying no to some-thing else.

Make sure you maintain a health balance of activi-ties to help quiet the monkey mind chatter churning in your head.

Time for busi-ness. Make sure that you do your best to carve out business hours and

only perform business tasks during that time.

It’s very easy to have pop ups sneak into our minds. We all need to write grocery lists, make social phone calls, throw in loads of laundry or take the dog for a walk.

At the very least, use these activities during break times to rest your mind instead of allowing them to pull you away from work.

Prioritize. It’s a lot easier to keep squirrel chasing at bay if you’re well-aware of the urgency of the tasks at hand.

Look at your to-do list and create a way to make the high priority tasks stand out. High priority tasks could include any of the following elements:■ A deadline. ■ A financial consequence. ■ Someone is waiting for something

from you before the project can move forward.■ An activity that is close to your

revenue line. Could this task generate income?

Do you need to make phone calls to schedule clients? Are you creating a product that you can sell? Do you need to send out invoices?

It’s much easier to prevent pop up thoughts from creating distractions when your focus is on high priority or income generating activities.

Jot it as you think it. When we have those thoughts that creep in while we’re working, they’re very powerful. They pull us away from our work like magnets. We have a lot on our minds and if we dismiss that thing we remember we need to do, we fear we may lose it.

That’s reason enough to jot it down to ease your mind.

Your brain can let it go when it you’ve created a dependable way to get chat-ter tasks out of your head by creating a reminder.

Use whatever system works for you. If you think you will get to the task as soon as you finish what you’re doing, then just put it on a scrap of paper or a sticky note next to your work space.

As soon as you’re done with the task at hand, you can grab your reminder note so you can cross the next item off of your list.

If you feel like the task may be com-pleted at a later date, don’t use a scrap

of paper, use a more reliable system that you’re less likely to lose. Just a few of the many options include legal pad, Word document or online options like Ever-note, Simplenote or Todoist.

Use a system that works the way you’re most comfortable working. Don’t feel pressure to use an app if you feel that pen and paper is faster and easier for you. It’s your system and you’re the one who needs to feel comfortable so you’ll use it consistently.

Do it. We’re all familiar with the slogan that motivated millions to move. Sometimes the best strategy really is to just get something done and get over it. Follow these guidelines to decide if you should table it or do it.■ If you have the time because you’re

not up against a deadline on another project.■ If writing it down and waiting until

later is going to cause a great deal of stress.■ If you can get it done in five min-

utes or less.■ If your brain needs a break from the

current task and this one won’t take you off track.

None of us should try to stay focused and work non-stop all day long. We crave variety, we need brain breaks, and we need shifts in our focus.

Don’t let pop up chatter derail you. Instead, embrace the fact that our brains toss things out to us when we least expect it and we’re more than capable of captur-ing and completing them.

A regular part of my job is removing viruses, spyware and other junk from clients’ computers.

Naturally, the first question I get is, “How did this happen?”

The simple answer is that the bad guys are both sneaky and smart.

They know the weaknesses of anti-virus software and they know how to play consumers like us.

We’re all looking for ways to save money everyday.

That’s not a bad thing, but you really do get what you pay for — especially when it comes to anti-virus software.

The bad guys are working hard to exploit any weakness they can find in these program.

And more often than not, a free or bargain basement anti-virus program is not going to be up to the threat posed by sophisticated malware.

You’ll need to do your homework and find a solution for yourself that has been tested by a reputable third party like Consumer Reports or PC Magazine.

However, even the best anti-virus protection isn’t always perfect.

Like I said, bad guys are work-

ing hard to stay ahead of protective technology.

They use all sorts of underhanded methods to get us to help them infect your computer.

One of the most common tricks is to get you to click on a link to a web site

that is “poisoned” with malware. For example, you get an email saying

your Amazon gift card with $92 on it is about to expire.

Or how about one that wants you to confirm your Best Buy purchase of $2,382?

Many people will simply click the link just to see what’s going on. And then, they have you. Another successful trick that is often used is where the bad guys send you a junk ad for solar panels or some other product.

It’s not the ad they’re tying to get you to click on, it’s the “unsubscribe” link.

By clicking on that link, it can down-load the spyware program without you know-ing about it.

Even more insidious is what’s called “spear phishing.”

Here’s how it works: a friend or

colleague’s email account has been compromised.

The bad guys use the information in that account to create a targeted email that contains references to conversations that you’ve had in the past and includes a link to a poisoned site.

For example, you get an email from a client. She says she’s looking at a product and includes a link, then asks if your product can compete.

Chances are good even the most wary user would click the link.

Next month I’ll talk about ways you can avoid these traps while still use email confidently and productively.

I enjoy reading the letters to the editor section of The Daily

Herald as much for their entertainment value as to inform myself of what might be on the minds of locals and their reaction to the news.

Occasionally, I gain a new perspective. I’m a lifetime learner and I love taking in different ideas to shape my own. It’s an important part of any local newspaper and I’m grateful The Daily Herald dedicates so much space to it.

The most entertaining exchanges are the emo-tional letters trashing Fox News from the left, coun-tered by those suspicious of the liberal mainstream media from the right.

Someone at some point will have to remind those folks that CNN and Fox News are only two clicks from each other on the remote.

If you don’t like one or the other, you just push a button. No need to get all huffy about it.

What the letters section also does is remind us that we all have different life experiences.

Those shape what we’re passionate about, what we might be uniquely informed about and what we care about. These experiences have the potential to be used to serve each other in a con-structive way.

Somewhere in the past 30 or so years, though, we shifted to a mean-spirited dialogue where if I have an opinion I must be right and you must be, by definition, an idiot.

I’ve attempted to use this column to inform, not persuade. To bring my experiences in business and real estate over nearly three decades to a forum where you can tap in, learn a little, maybe smile, and move on.

No more, no less. Readers will often stop

me in a grocery store or email me with something that they are passionate about and I will learn from them.

Everyone wins. We’re connected and we use each other’s life experi-

ences to come together, not separate.

I’ll keep reading the letters to the editor section, though, devour-ing news and ideas from every source. I don’t watch much TV, but when I do I’ll keep bouncing between CNN and Fox News.

When out in the com-munity, I’ll continue to

engage with the 1-per-centers, people I meet in the aisles at Walmart and everyone in between.

Every day I learn something new through respecting everyone I come in contact with and engaging.

No labels. Just an amazing mosaic of human beings whose circles overlap and we get a

chance, when they do, to enrich each other’s circles a bit even if just with a smile.

Perhaps I’m naive, but I dream of a better com-munity where one day I will read the letters to the editor section and notice a shift.

A passionate but respectful dialogue intended to be construc-

tive. Until then, I’ll keep reading the letters for the sheer entertainment value and to remind myself, I guess, of what an idiot I must be.

Terrie Battuello, Port of Everett Chief of Business Development, was recently recertified by the International Economic Development Council (IEDC). Battuello is one of only 1,022 people nationwide to hold the Certified Economic Developer designation.

The recertification must be done every three years and was effective April 1, 2015. Battuello first achieved the designation while working at the City

of Bothell. The designation of Certified Economic Developer (CEcD) is a highly recognized international recognition that denotes a mastery of principal skills in economic development, professional attainment, and a commitment to professional growth.

Battuello has 15 years of economic development experience and has worked primarily in commercial redevelopment, public-private partnerships, and tech-led

economic development. Battuello’s career includes working on the Bremerton waterfront redevelopment and Bothell redevelopment. She now leads the Port of Everett’s 64-acre marina district redevelopment called Waterfront Place.

Battuello Recertified with National Economic Development Designation

REAL ESTATEBluewater Lounge and the new Waterfront Place Central Project Office will open in the next few weeks.

EXECUTIVEAn independent firm, Martin Associates, is completing an economic benefits study of the Port of Everett. The find-ings will be presented to the Commission in May.

CALENDAR

Port of Everett uses its new 150-ton mobile harbor crane to lift a 105-ton piece of cargo last month. Prior to the purchase of the crane, the Port of Everett would not have been able to handle this business. The Port’s previous lift capacity was 100-tons.

This additional lift capacity means more jobs and more tonnage through the Port of Everett. For the first quarter of 2015, the Port of Everett Seaport has already moved 186,000 TONS of cargo.

port welcomes new crane and tons of cargo

On April 9, the Port of Everett celebrated its new cargo handling equipment and the new business tied

to the additional lift capacity. Earlier this year, the Port put into operation a new, 150-ton mobile harbor

crane, and three new, 45-ton Hyster Reachstackers.

Port of Everett, City of Mukilteo Celebrate New Era for Mukilteo’s Waterfront

On April 15, the Port of Everett and the City of Mukilteo celebrated a historic milestone in the history of the Mukilteo Waterfront.

After more than 75 years, legal access to the Mukilteo Tank Farm, located east of the Mukilteo Ferry Terminal, has been restored to the public. The access is made possible by the Port acquiring the tank farm from the U.S. Air Force, and investing more than $2 million into a new access road (First Street) from the Mt. Baker Avenue grade crossing to the beach.

“I’m excited to once again welcome Mukilteo residents and visitors to Edgewater Beach- those who remember enjoying the

quiet sandy beach in their childhood, as well as those who will discover it for the first time now,” Mukilteo Mayor Jennifer Gregerson said. “I am thankful to the Port for their investment in Mukilteo, reconnecting our community to our waterfront.”

The new roadway features two 11-foot lanes and a 10-foot wide shared-use pathway that will promote public access to Edgewater Beach and Mount Baker Terminal, a pier that transports aircraft parts for Boeing. The project also includes roadway/beach landscaping improvements and utility work, including the installation of a new sewer main and waterline.
