8A | MAY 28, 2020 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL City seeks public input on North Regional Park improvements Cottage Grove recently began the process of slow- ly, safely opening back up its parks. While none of the city parks’ shared-use facil- ities are open yet, the green spaces are. Among the new openings is North Region- al Park, including the Disc Golf Course. The city, asking what residents feel would make North Regional Park bet- ter, recently began a proj- ect to answer that question. The park will undergo the same type of update pro- cess which resulted in the improvement of Row Riv- er Park (formerly East Re- gional Park). The first stage of the project involves a commu- nity survey designed by community members to provide input, regardless of whether they have been to North Regional Park or not. Additionally, there will be a chance to win a $50 gift card to Bi-Mart for those who complete the survey. Participants in the sur- vey need to make sure they enter their email address at the end of the survey. To take the survey, visit https://www.surveymon- key.com/r/NRP_Survey. Impact from A7 Restaurant laid off about 12 workers during the lockdown and still runs the operation with just three people. “I think we lost about 70 percent of our busi- ness during that period of time,” said Solomon, who worries that the cancellation of Bohemia Mining Days festival this year will further impact those losses. Still, Solomon feels his business has achieved some stability, in large part due to community turnout. “Cottage Grove, for us, really stepped up,” he said. “I thought I was just going to shut down and ride it out until it all blew over, but after the first two days, it surprisingly went well considering we weren’t really known as a to-go restaurant.” As business owners adapt their reopening strategies, they are rely- ing not just on commu- nity member turnout, but on the resurgence of tourist traffic as well – the latter of which may not come. Owners like Tocco are concerned that if the customer slump contin- ues through the sum- mer, the loss of the big- gest revenue-generating season of the year will put businesses in a tight spot come winter. Already, the Me- morial Day weekend, which Tocco said nor- mally generates around $11,000 for Buster’s, had a notable drop in sales as the café came up just shy of $2,500. “So, every event that gets canceled like that, it’s like getting sicker,” he said. “And then you can’t get out of it. There’s no increase.” Tocco has plans to adapt, however. Though conversations about a “new normal” tend to lack definition amid a period of uncer- tainty, Tocco has con- sidered making online ordering and take-out a permanent part of his service model. “My plan is to change and develop a model that is for the new world,” he said. “I’m going to do whatever I can to work on the take-out and then when we can have full dine-in again, then I’ll work on both.” For his part, Solomon is looking forward to rehiring staff and begin- ning catering services again at his restaurant, but for now is looking to continue working with the tools he’s been af- forded through the end of the summer. “It’s just nice to be open and see people again,” he said. “That’s the best part of it.” In the meantime, Neigh is hopeful the community will remain understanding about the restrictions businesses have instituted. “When consumers are out there and they are asked to meet certain requirements in order to patronize a business, I ask that people just be patient,” she said. employees. In Tocco’s case, the limited seating at Bust- er’s would not make up for the cost of bringing staff back. “It would be just ten seats and then I’d have to hire someone to come in and the money would just be a wash,” he said. Tocco detailed his thin margins by recalling the roughly $58,000 he made in sales last year in May. So far this month, Buster’s is on track to make about $14,000 and Tocco said even the lay- offs of seven employees have not come close to offsetting the losses. When asked if the cur- rent climate was cause for existential concern, Tocco didn’t hesitate to answer. “Oh, for sure,” he said. “Every day is the ques- tion: ‘Are we going to open today or not?’ Be- cause we don’t have a clue.” On the other end of downtown Main Street, Stacy’s Covered Bridge Worship Directory COTTAGE GROVE: 6th & Gibbs Church of Christ 195 N. 6th St. • 541-942-3822 10:00am Christian Education: Pre-K through 5th Tim Baker, Senior Minister www.6thandgibbs.com First Presbyterian Church 3rd and Adams St 541-942-4479 Rev.: Karen Hill Worship: 10:00am Sunday School: 10:00am fpcgrove.com Calvary Baptist Church 77873 S 6th St • 541-942-4290 Pastor: Riley Hendricks Sunday School: 9:45am Worship: 11:00am The Journey: Sunday 5:00pm Praying Thru Life: Wednesday 6:00pm Hope Fellowship United Pentecostal Church 100 S.
