Today in History
In the greatest upset in presidential election history,
Democratic incumbent Harry S. Truman defeats his
Republican challenger, Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New
York, by just over two million popular votes. In the days
preceding the vote, political analysts and polls were so behind
Dewey that on election night, long before all the votes were
counted, the Chicago Tribune published an early edition with
the banner headline “ DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN .”
— November 2, 1948
Food 4 Thought
“A pessimist is one who makes diffi culties of his
opportunities and an optimist is one who makes
opportunities of his diffi culties.”
— Harry S. Truman, 33rd president of the United States

Longtime Keizer businessman
launches new consulting effort
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
Rick Day sold his Keiz-
er-based business, Advantage
Precast, in July 2017 and he’s
now writing the next chapter
in his career.
“I’ve done consulting work,
during the past 15 or 20 years,
but I’m turning it into my pri-
mary business with Focus Con-
sulting,” said Day.
Through Focus Consulting,
Day is looking to assist small
businesses and non-profi ts
with their growth or succes-
sion plans, but trying to keep
the cost reasonable. Whereas
some consultants might charge
$60,000 a year, Day is charging
a fl at fee of $500 a month or 5
percent of the business moving
forward.
“$60,000 a year is a full-time
employee and a small businesses
can’t afford it. $500 a month is
a small amount, but I want to
provide way more value than
that. I can do return on invest-
ment analysis for equipment,
purchasing other business and
market analysis,” Day said.
Day’s experience in busi-
ness and capitalization is no
small thing. At the peak of the
economy, he owned a dozen
companies and was managing
50 properties. He had to sell
off many of them to keep Ad-
vantage Precast afl oat, but even
the losses he suffered came with
lessons.
“I used to think I needed
things, but after losing almost
everything in the recession I
realized I wanted some money
to cover expenses, some money
to travel and money to put into
charity,” said Day, 57.
It also helped him realize
that not every business owner’s
goals are the same. Those ex-
periences now inform his con-
sulting practices.
KEIZERTIMES/Eric A. Howald
Rick Day, the former owner of Advantage Precast, is looking to help other small businesses with
decades of experience under his belt.
“I’ve always assumed that
most people want fi nancial se-
curity and freedom and to be
able to walk away from their
business someday. That’s true
for a lot of business owners, but
with farm and forest industries,
the owners are looking at sus-
tainability and keeping a cul-
ture alive,” Day said.
With Focus Consulting, Day
offers a free initial consultation
and leaves it up to business
and non-profi t stakeholders to
decide whether they want to
move forward.
“With small business, I assess
what the owner or the fami-
ly hopes to accomplish, who
their competitors are, what as-
sets they possess and and where
their processes might be more
effi cient. We’ll look at what fi -
nancial security looks like for
them and what succession they
need to plan for. I will also be
honest in my assessment. I’m
Man cuffed for
purse-snatching
A woman concerned for
her safety led a boyfriend to
Safeway on River Road North
where the man stole her purse
and cell phone Tuesday, Oct. 23.
Keizer Police Department
offi cers responded to Safeway
about 12:30 p.m. on a report
of a purse-snatching. The sus-
pect in the incident was last
seen fl eeing on foot toward
Bailey Court Northeast. Offi -
cers arrived on scene soon and
observed a male subject run-
ning through a grass alley. The
man was stopped and detained
without any resistance or hav-
ing to use any force.
The man no longer had the
purse or phone, but the items
were found nearby.
While one offi cer remained
with the male who had been
detained, another offi cer re-
turned to Safeway where he
made contact with the female
who had her purse and cell-
phone stolen. The victim told
offi cers the male suspect was
a boyfriend and she was in the
process of trying to end their
relationship, which had angered
him. Both individuals were
transients and she had talked
him into going to Safeway with
her as she was growing increas-
ingly concerned for her safe-
ty. Once at the Safeway store,
she said her boyfriend used
physical force to steal her purse
and the cell phone that was in-
side.
There were several witnesses
to the incident who remained
on scene to give a statement to
the investigating offi cer, all of
which supported the victim’s
statements.
The suspect was identifi ed
as 36-year-old Alan Johnson
Campbell. He was charged with
assault in the fourth degree,
robbery in the third degree, and
theft in the third degree (purse
snatching). He was transported
to the Marion County Jail.
not getting paid to sit around
and blow kisses at anyone,” Day
said.
With non-profi ts, Day said
his long history in the Sa-
lem-Keizer area has connected
him with the businesses posi-
tioned to assist charitable ef-
forts, but he feels he can make
a bigger impact the earlier he
gets involved.
“With non-profi ts, I want to
talk conceptually about what
options we can bring to the ta-
ble as far funding and construc-
tion resources, and then look at
what can be done to generate
additional revenues alongside
those projects,” he said.
The success of the consulting
business feeds into Day’s other
project, Advantage Holdings.
Through Advantage Holdings,
Day purchases local homes on
