Seasonal Priorities in Beautiful Thurston County
A
s community business leaders, Thurston County Chamber members understand the economic impacts of recruiting and retaining staff members to grow our business. One of the many positive factors about living and working in this area is the opportunity to enjoy the outdoor recreation the summer months bring. Who doesn’t look forward to time outside in the sun enjoying the Puget Sound, mountain views, amazing forests and open space accessible at our parks? Summer is also the season to get outside and attend our fairs and festivals, listed on page 12. We know employees today are seeking quality of life, with balance between their professional and personal time. We also know employees who achieve this balance and satisfaction in their lives are more productive, creative and motivated. Yet, the evidence is clear: Many of us don’t take advantage of our vacation time to renew and refresh our minds and bodies. Tourism and hospitality businesses are an important business sector contributing to community prosperity. The tourism industry in Washington employs 153,300 people, creates $4.7 billion in earnings (payroll), generates total direct visitor spending of $16.9 billion, generates $1 billion in state and local tax revenue, and touches the community in countless other ways. This “playtime” for adults is essential for our personal well-being and the well-being of our local economy.
We also know play is vital to the healthy growth and development of the children of our community, and for some children—whose families are in crisis—a safe and stimulating play environment might not be available to them. For children at Pear Blossom Place Family Homeless Shelter, a barren area has been reserved for outdoor play. Funds have not been available to properly equip it for the resident children to enjoy. Now, 32 graduates of the 2015 Leadership Thurston County class have made the task of helping these children their community project. At the LTC graduation event during the June Chamber Forum, class leaders—City of Olympia Planner Stacy Ray and wealth advisor Bob Heck of Kiley Juergens Wealth Management —invited attendees and all Chamber members to help them reach their $15,000 fundraising goal to provide these children an appropriate playground setting. Justin Erickson, CEO of Harbor Wholesale Foods and the event’s keynote speaker, announced a matching challenge of up to $1,000 from Harbor Wholesale Foods for any contributions made at the event. If you weren’t at the Forum and want to learn more about the LTC playground project, visit www.thurstonchamber.com/playground Pictures of the current and planned playground will impress you. Give generously if you can. Looking forward to seeing you and your families as we get out and “play” this summer! ●

STARTUP PLAYBOOK: Mike Thielen & Glacier Aviation, Inc. By Natasha Ashenhurst
“
Follow your bliss.” “Do what you love and the money will follow.” “Cash in on your passion.” “Do what you love, and you never work a day in your life.” Platitudes and clichés make great book titles and fill up seminars, but are not realistic and solid advice. Right? Stop by Glacier Aviation and talk to company president Mike Thielen and you’ll begin to believe in the idea that you can get paid to do what you love. This is the fifth article in our Startup Playbook series, where we examine Thurston County startups— and the entrepreneurs behind them—in order to learn what’s working and what’s not, and search for a pattern to success. Here’s Mike Thielen’s story. Helicopters first captured Thielen’s imagination when he was 11.
“My neighbor had a helicopter,” said Thielen. “I went for a ride, and I was hooked.” Going straight to flight school wasn’t an option, so Thielen became a firefighter, working in Seattle and then the Marshall Islands. He saved his money— a lot of money—and bought a Hughes 300, but he didn’t know how to fly. So Thielen hired Mark Hansen to teach him, bypassing a formal ground school. Once he had his license, he was determined to make a living flying. His first venture was operating a successful tour business at Mount Saint Helens, and then
lighthouse tours near Long Beach, Wash. “In 1998 there was an article published in a magazine about the number of helicopter pilots retiring, predicting a shortage of trained pilots. Within a week, I had calls from three people asking if I would teach them to fly,” said Thielen. “I sold my Hughes 300 and bought a Robinson R22, which was better for teaching—less expensive to operate and more durable—and all three students showed up. “In 1999, The Olympian wrote a story about what I was doing—opening the Continued on page 26.

You will learn about how customers create their perceptions of you, your employees and your business. You will walk away with actionable information with which to make changes the very same day.

Since 1993, the City and other public partners have invested over $150 million to create great public spaces and amenities.
Olympia's Downtown Strategy
O
lympia city planners expect an increase in the City’s population by 20,000 over the next 20 years, and estimate that 5,000 of those people will live downtown. This is significant considering that the current downtown population is only 2,000. On December 16, 2014 the City adopted a comprehensive plan outlining five strategies, one of which focuses on downtown. “We recognize that Olympia’s downtown is the social, cultural and economic center of our region," explained Amy Buckler, senior planner for the City of Olympia. "We want to take advantage of population and employment growth to create a more active space–more public art and landscaping, more businesses and jobs downtown and a balanced ratio of market-rate and subsidized housing." By creating a more desirable downtown, the City hopes to avoid regional sprawl, protect forests and agricultural space, while improving the heart of the region– downtown. Buckler said, “And by planning well, you can take advantage of population growth to build the types of things that people need and want downtown. By making it more compact you are making it more walkable, with interesting things to see and do.” City planners went through a scope www.thurstonchamber.com
and process with the City Council from December 2014 through May 2015. The City Council narrowed the Downtown Strategy to four strategic areas: •
•
•
Reduce development uncertainties: The City will proactively resolve unknown risks. For example, resolve any soil contamination issues before developers begin their building process. This strategy also includes providing the public a better illustration of the desired end-state. For example, publishing artist’s renderings of a project in advance of the project start date. Encouraging private investment: Since 1993, the City and other public partners have invested over $150 million to create great public spaces and amenities, such as Heritage Park, LOTT, Hands On Children’s Museum, the Washington Center for the Performing Arts and the Fourth Avenue Bridge. “We’ve created great spaces, now it is time to connect those places with private investment,” said Buckler. Enhancements to public spaces: Enrich the downtown experience with safe and beautiful streets, sidewalks and alleys; public art; greenery; lighting; pedestrian and bike friendly amenities
•
Preserve unique qualities: “We are not tearing down historic buildings that we love to put up new. We want to protect and strengthen our historic character. We want to protect and restore environmental qualities, particularly along the shoreline,” said Buckler.
The City is hosting a series of public workshops in the Fall of 2015. “The best way to have your voice heard and make an impact in the formation of this strategy is to participate in these workshops. The City really wants to see a diverse participation in this process. We want everyone to come to the table so we can evaluate trade-offs. “We know downtown is a passion for many people in our community and we want them to participate in this process,” said Buckler. The City is in the process of hiring an urban design firm to lead the process, expected to be on board in September. Amy Buckler is available to answer questions and speak to groups about the Downtown Strategy and can be reached at 360.570.5847 or by emailing dts@ci.olympia.wa.us . ●

Beer, Dairy Cows, Compost & Flowers: Family Business Serving Region for 100+ Years By Natasha Ashenhurst
D
rive out old State Route 99 and you’ll stumble upon a community treasure in Tumwater—The Barn Nursery and Great Western Supply. Both businesses are owned by O’Neill & Sons, LLC, a firm with a history in Thurston County spanning over 100 years.
On a warm, sunny day in June, I had the opportunity to sit down in the nursery with owners Dan and Carla O’Neill and talk about flowers, compost, beer and dairy cows. They shared the history of their business and its unusual beginning.
Brewing by-products recycled into food for dairy cows. Dan’s great-grandparents were born in Switzerland and grew up in France. It was there that they learned to feed dairy cows the malt leftover from brewing beer, and recycle the spent hops on fields as a soil amendment. When they arrived in Olympia at the end of the 19th Century, they met the Schmidt family and bonded over their shared German language. When the Schmidt family started the Olympia Brewing Company in 1896, Leopold Schmidt worked out an agreement with Dan’s great-grandfather, Joseph Wickie Sr., to haul away the malt and hops left over from brewing, and the family business, J. Wickie Pioneer Dairy, Flowers on display at The Barn. 14 • July/August 2015 Thurston County Chamber VOICE

In 1978, Dan and Carla O’Neill recognized the importance of healthy soil amendments, and matched that need with the request that dairy farmers had to remove manure from their farms. The manure became an amendment for several soil mixes. In time, Great Western Supply grew to meet other landscaping needs in the community. Customers were then suggesting that the business begin carrying nursery stock. It was eight years later when the old barn sitting next to Great Western Supply became The Barn Nursery.
spanning over 100 years, was born. They hauled the brewing by-products to dairy farms around the state for a food source for dairy cows. At the height of the brewing company’s production, Dan’s family was hauling away 21 tons of hops and malt every 45 minutes, seven days a week.
they came up with a clever solution that changed the course of their business.
‘manure for sale.’ That was the beginning of Great Western Supply.”
Business expansion keeps with the theme of recycling locally sourced products.
Over time, Dan and Carla built the landscaping supply business, staying true to the family business’s core competency of recycling locally sourced raw materials.

Thurston Chamber Foundation's Business2Youth Connect Video Wins Bronze Telly Award
T
he Telly Awards has named Pardiman Productions as a Bronze winner in the 36th Annual Telly Awards for their piece titled “B2Y Connect”. With over 13,000 entries from all 50 states and numerous countries, this is truly an honor. “B2Y Connect” is an animated promotional video for the Thurston Chamber Foundation’s innovative new Business 2 Youth Connect program.
winners of the Bronze Telly.
The Telly Awards was founded in 1979 and is the premier award honoring outstanding local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs, the finest video and film productions, and online commercials, video and films. Winners represent the best work of the most respected advertising agencies, production companies, television stations, cable operators, and corporate video departments in the world.
“We were very excited that the Thurston Chamber Foundation chose us to produce this fun and creative video project. We couldn’t be happier that our joint effort is being recognized for it’s quality and creativity,” said Corey Lopardi, Owner of Pardiman Productions.
A prestigious judging panel of over 500 accomplished industry professionals, each a past winner of a Silver Telly and a member of The Silver Telly Council, judged the competition, upholding the historical standard of excellence that Telly represents. The Silver Council evaluated entries to recognize distinction in creative work – entries do not compete against each other – rather entries are judged against a high standard of merit. Less than 10% of entries are chosen as Winners of the Silver Telly, our highest honor. Approximately 25% of entries are chosen as

“The Telly Awards has a mission to honor the very best in film and video,” said Linda Day, Executive Director of the Telly Awards. “Pardiman Production’s accomplishment illustrates their creativity, skill, and dedication to their craft and serves as a testament to great film and video production.”
"Pardiman Productions deserves this well-earned recognition for their work.

first flight school in Thurston County— and Glacier Flight School was launched.”
One-on-One, Individualized Instruction Since its inception, Glacier offers one-onone instruction that allows students to proceed at their own pace and on their own time frame; they get to set their own schedule. “Our mission is to make them the best they can be in 200 hours, and then give them the support they need to find jobs,” said Thielen. “We are not the biggest flight school in the country, but I think we are the best.” The price tag for helicopter career training is over $70,000, compared to over $50,000 for airplane training, so Thielen partnered with Illinois-based Pilot Finance to offer students financing options. He has also partnered with Sallie Mae to expand financial aid. He boasts his students have a loan default rate close to zero, based on Sallie Mae’s published default rates Thielen then worked to add depth to his program—and make it an easier sell to the parents of his students—by partnering with Utah Valley University to offer degrees in aeronautical science, allowing students to expand their career opportunities. The UVU college classes are taken online, and the flight training and the ground school is taught at Glacier with Glacier employees. Glacier also added a Federal Aviation Administration designated examiner, Mike Everett, to the staff to make pilot certification easily accessible to its students. “Ultimately, our job is not over until our students are working. If I don’t have a position for them here, I’ll place them somewhere else,” said Thielen. “Once they get their 1,000 hours, a lot of students work as tour operators around the Grand Canyon or Alaska, or they’ll work in the oil industry.”

private lockers, one-on-one training, and members will have access to unlimited shooting, seven days a week.”
Once Thielen got the flight school off the ground, he continued to diversify his business.
When Thielen isn’t running Glacier Aviation, T Brothers Liquor Lodge or launching the Glacier Gun Club, you’ll find him on the track.
Today, he offers an airplane flight school in addition to helicopters. He also established Glacier as a fixed-base operator (FBO) at the Olympia Regional Airport. A FBO provides a variety of aviation services at airports, including fueling, catering, wifi access and assisting in arranging ground transportation to independent pilots. Glacier’s FBO customers include Pepsi, Target, Costco, NetJets and Flight Options.
“Glacier owns a drag racing team,” said Thielen. “Now, that is my true passion.” ● Natasha Ashenhurst is a freelance writer for the VOICE Magazine and can be contacted at natasha.ashenhurst@gmail.com
“We literally roll out the red carpet for our clients. Our job is to make the pilots look good so they’ll keep landing here in Olympia,” said Thielen. “Pilots call ahead and let us know what kind of car they’ll need, or catering and cleaning services, and Glacier will even do their laundry and dishes. We’ve become friends with many of them and have an excellent working relationship.”
Partner with Airlift Northwest In 2007, Glacier partnered with Airlift Northwest, leasing a building to them at the Olympia airport and providing their fueling service. The partnership has gone so well that Glacier is building a 10,000-square-foot facility in Juneau, Alaska, for Airlift Northwest to lease. Glacier provides airport support so Airlift Northwest can focus on their core competency: Saving lives. When asked what is next for Glacier, Thielen said, “As an entrepreneur, you have to have multiple income streams. I own T Brothers Liquor Lodge downtown with my wife, Lori, and brother, Andy. In September, we are opening the Glacier Gun Club, a shooting range in the back of the T Brothers Liquor Lodge. It will be a 1,000 member club where members go through a screening process. We’ll offer incredible service,
