There are razors and lasers, but electrolysis is the only permanent way to remove unwanted hair, says Cathy Kaech.
Kaech is the owner of The Electrolysis Clinic, a business she opened in the Roseburg area a couple weeks ago. The clinic is “in a professional setting in her home office,” she says, at 3440 Cleveland Hill Rd.
Kaech has practiced electrolysis for 11 years, all in the Bend area. She has done more than 8,500 permanent hair removal treatments out of her Bend clinic.
But then she married a Roseburg man, moved west over the Cascade Mountains and is now practicing electrolysis here.
“There’s a lot of emphasis on hair removal,” Kaech said of today’s society. “Electrolysis works on any hair, on any hair color and on all skin types.”

Businessman Jim Fox of Roseburg has come up with an interesting and unique way to get people to visit his Fox Den businesses.
Make enough visits and there’s a chance you could win $50,000.
Fox said using bingo to bring potential customers into a store may not be a new idea, but he hadn’t heard of it anywhere. So he wrote up a timeline for drawing numbers, a prize payout scale for blackout bingo and a half page of rules.
You have to go to a Fox Den to register for a card. The card must be stamped or it’s not valid. One card can be obtained from each of the 13 Fox Dens that are located near Interstate 5 from Winston to Portland. So one person could play 13 cards.
The first 10 numbers were drawn last Monday. Another 10 numbers will be drawn Monday and another 10 on April 13. If there’s a blackout in those first 30 numbers, the cardholder will win $50,000.
But if there’s still no winner, beginning April 20, one ball will be drawn each day until a valid blackout bingo is redeemed. As each day goes by, the prize will drop by $5,000, stopping at $5,000 for a blackout on the 40th number or beyond.
Where are the numbers posted? In each of the Fox Dens, so you must visit to play.
Good luck.
Harvesting recognition
Logging superintendent Mike Huffman and logging foreman Jim Bakke made some changes at the White Horse logging site last spring that earned their company, Huffman and Wright Logging of Canyonville, some major kudos.
The company was recently named 2008 Oregon Operator of the Year for the Southwest Region by the Oregon Board of Forestry. Winners were also selected for the Northwest and Eastern regions.
The winners were selected by Oregon’s Regional Forest Practices Advisory Committee, based on an operator’s consistency of positive performance, innovation in project design, relative difficulty of a harvest operation and a commitment to protecting Oregon’s natural resources. The changes instituted at the Huffman and Wright logging site near Azalea in southern Douglas County resulted in better protection of creek habitat.
The Canyonville company was started by Ralph Huffman and Roger Wright in 1956 and now has about 115 employees.

RANDOM BIZ QUOTE
(This feature of the On Biz column is the result of randomly opening The Phone Source and calling a business.)
“Like everyone else our business is way, way down, but I think business will get better as the year goes on. I think the second half of ’09 will be better than ’08. I’m basing that on phone calls I’m already getting for bigger equipment for summer use. Our small rentals and repair business is still stable. I think as the year goes on, business will get a little better. As bad as things are, it’s still great to live here in the United States.”
