When Cottage Grove Area
Chamber of Commerce Ex-
ecutive Director Travis Palm-
er heard about the fi re at the
Whitsell Manufacturing Mill
in Saginaw, he made a call.
“I gave them a few days to get
their heads to stop spinning,”
he said. But once they had, he
reached out and asked what the
chamber could do to help.
“One of the owners, he men-
tioned they’re currently trying
to maintain some sort of busi-
ness out of his living room and
it wasn’t working well because
it wasn’t set up for business
with faxes and phone lines,”

consideration.

to stay as long as they wanted.

from Palmer.
“I think there’s 10,000 or
12,000 feet of offi ce space up
there and they were operating
out of dining rooms and things
like that so I off ered them the
space to see if that would help
them get started,” Diehl said.
Th e mill, standing at 194,000
square feet, burned to the
ground on May 27 in a fi re that
burned overnight. Shortly aft er
the fi re, 25 mill employees, a
fraction of the workforce, re-
turned to the job. At the time
of the fi re, owner Walter “Fred”
Whitsell told Th e Sentinel,

Palmer said.
So, he made another call.
Paktech, a manufacturing
company that provides handles
and application equipment
to food and beverage compa-
nies, expanded its business to
Cottage Grove last year aft er it
moved into the former Kwikee
building on Davidson Ave.
Th e company originally
brought approximately 35 jobs
to the area using its in-line au-
tomated application that pro-
vided a 100 percent recyclable
product.
And while the factory space
at the new Paktech building is
in full swing, the offi ce spaces
were empty. Until owner Scott
Diehl received a phone call

spring we’ve experienced this
year. Th e result is that we are
a couple weeks ahead of where
we traditionally are regarding
fuel moistures and fi re con-
di-tions in the forest,” said
Western Lane District Forester
Link Smith.
Chris Cline is district for-
ester for ODF’s South Cascade
District based in Springfi eld.
He said fuel moistures in east-
ern Lane and southern Linn
counties are already similar to
what they historically would
be for the beginning of July.

wildfi res were reported on
ODF-protected lands through-
out Oregon. Th ese burned
just over 200 acres. More than
80 percent of those fi res were
caused by people. In light of
those numbers, West Oregon
District Forester Mike Totey
said, “Most wildfi res at this
time of year are triggered by
people, so they are almost en-
tirely pre-ventable with some
foresight."
