Montana prison program rehabs inmates through business In a small woodworking shop outside Deer Lodge, 24-year-old Ryan Gates lowered a sander onto part of an unfinished bookshelf.

After it is finished, the bookshelf, along with much of the other furniture from chairs to desks scattered in various states of completion around the room, will be shipped off to assorted government offices and public spaces across the state.

In many ways the shop, where Gates has been employed for 18 months, is completely ordinary. The noise of power tools echoes around

the room, pieces of wood lie in neat stacks and the floor is padded with a thin layer of sawdust. A sign on the wall proclaims “Be Safe” in capital letters.

“I love it. It’s really peaceful out here,” Gates said, taking a break from sanding. “I can work and just do my own thing.”

The shop is ordinary, until you look out the window, where 20-foot fences topped with barbed wire gleam in the bright August sunlight.

NOTEBOOK B Y L E W I S K E N DA L L BUSI N E S S JOU R NA L E DI TOR

I get asked a lot, “What is the predominant industry in Bozeman?”

The question comes from all sorts of people, from locals to friends from out of state. And it’s not particularly easy to answer.

First, I ask them, what do you mean by predominant? Most employees? (Bozeman Health tops that list, followed by Oracle and Ressler Motors.) Largest economic generator? (That would probably be retail, which accounts for more than $1 billion in annual sales.) Highest profile? (Again, depends on who you talk to.)

The other part that makes this a difficult question is that the answer is constantly in flux. Fifty years ago, the biggest industry in the area was probably agriculture. Twenty years ago it might have been construction. Today, at the current rate of change and growth, it’s hard to pin down exactly how to define the Bozeman area economy.

What I’ve been telling people more and more is that the Gallatin Valley’s main industry is entrepre-

neurship. From new retail and restaurant businesses, to tech startups, photonics firms and creative niche operations, the area is teeming with entrepreneurs of all shapes and sizes.

And this is backed by data.

Montana was again ranked first in startup activity by the Kauffman Foundation. One of every 200 adults in the state became entrepreneurs in any given month over the past year, according to Kauffman.

The difficulty to point out any overarching, dominating industry in the area highlights not only the diversity of the local economy, but also its health. Cities that lean too heavily on a single sector are often tugged along up to its peaks and down into its valleys, but a wellbalanced mix of businesses helps insulate regions from market fluctuations. So as large players like the local tech or construction industries continue to grow, it would be easy to view them as the defining feature of the area’s economic landscape, but we shouldn’t forget to celebrate the other scenery, too.

ON THE COVER: Ryan Gates, 24, an inmate at the Montana State Prison in Deer Lodge, sands part of a bookshelf that will be sold as part of the Montana Department of Corrections’ Montana Correctional Enterprises division.

Let the wenches dawdle in such dress As they are used to wear, and let the boys Bring flowers in last month’s newspapers.

Let be be finale of seem.

The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

Take from the dresser of deal, Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet On which she embroidered fantails once And spread it so as to cover her face.

If her horny feet protrude, they come To show how cold she is, and dumb.

Let the lamp affix its beam.

The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.”

– Wallace Stevens, “The Emperor of Ice-Cream”

ALEX MCKENZIE IS FANATICAL about ice cream.

“I’ve always loved ice cream” he said.

“It’s sexy, it’s decadent. It transports me and makes me feel like a kid.”

Having recently opened The Emperor of Ice Cream, a mobile ice cream cart that McKenzie describes as a “Rube Goldberg soda machine,” the 35-year-old does seem a bit like a big kid.

But the path leading up to his newfound career in frozen treats was anything but childish.

After years working in the food industry everywhere “from greasy spoons to chichi restaurants” — many gigs that took the fun out of food — McKenzie landed his dream job working in a recording studio. But something didn’t feel quite right.

“It was everything I wanted to achieve and I couldn’t stand it,” he said. “I realized how unfulfilled I was and questioned where I was putting my energy.”

So McKenzie went back to school,

studying food policy at Hampshire College, a small liberal arts institution in Amherst, Massachusetts. While he was there, one of the school’s alumni started a shark tank-style investment competition open to students, and after some thought, McKenzie pitched his ice cream business. The idea won over the judges and McKenzie received funding that has covered much of his $70,000 startup cost.

After the victory, McKenzie and his wife Christina Kalabrese took a road trip across the country, trying ice cream and scoping

out various business models along the way.

Kalabrese ended up securing a job in Montana, and the two packed up and moved to Big Sky. “I was not a hard sell,” McKenzie said.

The Massachusetts native wasted little time after the move, coordinating with a creamery out of Washington to develop his 20-or-so recipes like key lime pie and southern banana pudding. The creamery churns out the ice cream and then delivers it in tubs to a warehouse in Big Sky. ICE CREAM CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

WHAT’S UP WITH THAT? TO CONTRIBUTE CALL 582-2651

Woman involved in Smith’s Grocery lawsuit offers update In June, What’s Up With That posted a story about a woman, Valerie Valos, who filed a lawsuit against Smith’s grocery store after she tripped on a display and broke two teeth.

Earlier this month, Valos sent a letter offering her side of the story.

According to the then 84-year-old, Smith’s was having a post-Christmas clearance and had filled the aisles with shopping carts full of discounted items.

“When I came around the corner in the produce section they had set too many carts on the end cap and one was sticking out,” Valos wrote.

“The wheels stuck out further than the handle and I tripped on them. I don’t know about you, but I usually don’t look at the ground when I’m shopping for produce.”

After the incident, Valos asked that The Kroger Company (which owns Smith’s) pay for her $7,000 dental bill. When the company refused, she hired a lawyer.

“I really struggled with going to an attorney. I certainly don’t believe in getting rich on someone else’s mistake and I am not asking for any ‘extra’ money at all,” she wrote. “But I really do believe that Smith’s was at fault for over stuffing the aisles and creating a hazard, especially for the elderly.”

THE BOTTOM LINE

The Business Journal to present third annual ATHENA Award Nominations are now being accepted for the third annual ATHENA Women’s Leadership Award. The award follows rigorous guidelines to honor women who meet three criteria: Professional Leadership, Community Leadership and Personal Leadership/Mentorship.

The Business Journal secured licensing rights from ATHENA International, a nonprofit organization that supports, develops and acknowledges women leaders, to introduce this annual award to the Gallatin Valley in 2014.

Recipients of the award must exhibit exceptional dedication to their career, to their community and to helping those around them realize their full career potential, according to ATHENA International.

Past local recipients include Robyn Erlenbush, owner of ERA Landmark Real Estate and Ris Higgins, co-owner of Leadership Outfitters.

Nominations will be reviewed by the ATHENA selection committee, comprised of several local businesswomen, from which finalists will be selected. Finalists and the award recipient will be

Valos made no mention of the current status of her legal action, but concluded that it was not a “million dollar ‘McDonald’s hot coffee’ type of lawsuit.”

Country Bookshelf won a trip where?

Bozeman’s Country Bookshelf is headed abroad.

To the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany, that is.

Earlier this month, the independent bookseller won the trip for its staff in a raffle contest hosted

by New York-based publisher Europa Editions.

As a requirement for entry in the contest, Country Bookshelf will host an event promoting Europa Editions novelist Elena Ferrante the week of Oct. 31.

The Frankfurt fair, which runs Oct. 19 to 23, sees more than 275,000 attendees, including authors, journalists and publishers. The event offers a bevy of literary-themed exhibits such as conferences, business networking sessions and book presentations.

“We are so beyond excited to have been chosen for this amazing scholarship! Thank you so much, Europa Editions! (Or I suppose we should say danke schon),” Country Bookshelf wrote on its Facebook page.

ICE CREAM F ROM PAGE 3 The fudges, syrups and cones are all made in the warehouse by McKenzie and his 17-year-old intern Asher Zelson, and the owner said he hopes to start making ice cream in-state next year.

“Generally speaking, when you have smaller budgets and stricter parameters, you can get things done,” he said. “I would love to make my own ice cream in Montana, but we’re not there yet.”

For the most part, The Emperor has made its living serving at the Big Sky Farmer’s Market and at the summer concert series Music in the Mountains. Aside from Instagram, which McKenzie said is an easy, cost-effective marketing tool, the business relies heavily on word of mouth.

“One thing that’s great is that Big Sky has a lot of scheduled activities with foot traffic, and everyone loves ice cream,” the owner said.

“Every night we go out I hear ‘This is the best ice cream I’ve ever had,’ and that’s good to hear.”

With unexpected burdens like equipment maintenance and the hovering spectre of food safety, the business has been more than McKenzie imagined.

FEEDER CATTLE PRICES

“It’s a lot of work and it takes up a lot more time that I thought.

But seeing the results of things is great,” McKenzie said. “It’s exhausting, but it’s so fulfilling.”

The long hours are a worthwhile tradeoff for self-employment, he added.

“Being my own boss is this biggest reward. I would rather work 60 hours a week for myself than 40 for someone else,” the owner said. “I’m never going to work for someone else again.”

As the summer season winds down, McKenzie plans to add a “pint club” to sell off his remaining stock through an email group, and eventually hopes to expand to retail sales with help from the Montana Department of Agriculture’s Growth Through Agriculture grant program.

And though he has toyed with the idea of a brick and mortar shop, McKenzie said that for now he is wed to the flexibility of his cart, which allows the ice cream connoisseur to deliver one of his favorite foods to as many people as possible.

“I’m excited by the mobile market,” he said. “Everyone deserves to enjoy good food and gather around that, whether it’s a gourmet meal or an ice cream cone.”

REAL TALK

New construction 101

BY ROBYN ERLENBUSH

As with many categories of commerce, trends come and go in the design and details of homes. Realtor Magazine tracked and published some of the “Trends That’ll Influence Homes in 2016.” These include the construction of more resilient and sustainable homes, the use of more affordable yet classically styled materials, the increased demand for reclaimed wood floors, and a better integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, among many other trends. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) is watching out for what millennials seek in their homes since they are becoming a growing force in the real estate market. Demand is changing to smaller sized homes with features such as standalone laundry rooms, increased energy efficiency and storage/ closets at the top of the list. The association also works to identify features that move-up buyers seek. This list includes impres-

sive kitchens, new technology and spa master baths.

While much personal flair can and should go into the construction of a new home, there are many things that are required by state law for each and every house. Residential construction contracts must include certain disclosures and warranty requirements. A significant clause, taken from the Montana Code, instructs that contracts for residential construction must contain “a statement that the general contractor is providing an express warranty that is valid for a period of at least one year from completion of the construction project. The warranty must provide detailed descriptions of those components that are included or excluded from the warranty, the length of the warranty, and any specialty warranty provisions or time periods relating to certain components.

The warranty provisions must also clearly set forth the require-

The median price was $162.78.

Belgrade reported 39 sales of new single family homes on under one acre thus far in 2016. These sales range from $109.17 to $189.71 per square foot with a median at $155.06. Factors that go into the price per square foot include everything from the price and size of the lot, impact fees and labor costs to the level of quality of each and every finish including flooring, plumbing fixtures, lighting, appliances, windows, doors and even high tech features.

As our existing housing inventory levels continue to shrink, we will see upward pressure for new construction in every location.

The high demand for builders and subcontractors in the booming Big Sky market is also a factor that will increase the price of new construction throughout the valley in the coming years.

AS WE DRIVE AROUND the Gallatin Valley, it is common to see all phases of home construction from the digging of the foundation to the finishing touches of landscaping. Many are custom homes wherein the builder has been hired by the future homeowner and each detail has been discussed and implemented. Others are specification (spec) homes that a contractor builds with a predesigned plan and finishes in order to sell ideally before or upon completion of the home.

ments that must be adhered to by the buyer, including the time and method for reporting warranty claims, in order for the warranty provision to become applicable.”

Further disclosure includes the R-value, type and thickness of insulation when the contract is written.

By pulling together some rudimentary statistics from the Southwest Montana Multiple Listing Service (MLS), it is interesting to see the prices at which new construction sells. If we look at listings that were sold from Jan. 1 to Aug. 8 of this year within Bozeman city limits, there have been 339 single family homes on less than one acre sold. Of these, 93 homes were built in 2015 or 2016.

The sales price per square foot ranges from $133.76 to $285.98 with a median of $180.04. Newly constructed homes in the area immediately surrounding Bozeman ranged from $118.10 to $299.88 per square foot for the 82 reported sales with the above criteria.

FINANCIAL TIPS

The EU and us

BY STEVE HAMPLE

BREXIT IS SHORTHAND FOR BRITAIN’S exit from the European Union. This is a huge change with international economic implications. However, I think we will be safe. I’ll try to summarize in a few words decades of history and volumes of economic relationships.

Beginning in the 1950s, several European countries formed trade agreements to help postwar recovery. Over time more countries became partners in various types of agreements. In 1993 a formal structure called the European Union (EU) was formed. Passport controls were reduced to allow citizens of member countries to travel freely into other member countries. The shipment of goods was also improved.

The next significant step was the creation of the Euro currency on Jan. 1, 1999, which eliminated the process of exchanging guilders for francs, marks or lira, when doing business across borders, although some countries, notably England, continued to use their own currency. Initially the Euro was equal in value to the U.S. dollar, but by 2012 a Euro was worth $1.40, partly because the EU countries became more efficient and the size of the combined EU member economies became roughly as large as that of the U.S. In essence, all EU member countries must follow decisions of a central committee regarding balanced budgets and other prudent financial conditions. However, reducing services and government jobs is unpopular within problem countries and thus often not well enforced (as mentioned in my

March 2014 column). A reason I did not submit an article last month was that I left for Europe just after the UK voted (52 percent in favor and 48 percent against) to leave the EU. Why did Great Britain vote to leave the EU? Friends in southern England explained that they were tired of being told what to do by people outside their country. It was also mentioned that younger people who favored remaining (according to polls) did not go to the polls in high enough numbers.

Reactions were mixed. “Birth of a new Britain,” exclaimed the Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper.

You might guess the country from which comments like these came: “They have filed for divorce; they should not expect an easy settlement,” and “It is not an amicable divorce, but it was also not an intimate love affair,” and “If they

become like Greece, maybe their cooking will improve.” In Italy one opinion was that people in the UK made an emotional, bad choice, which will hurt the UK economy. People would also ask me whether something similar might happen in the U.S. regarding Donald Trump.

Will there be a domino effect of other countries leaving the EU? In the days between my writing this column and you reading it, a lot could happen. Europe has a thousand year history of wars and changing alliances. Nationalist independence sentiment could spread. Cooler heads would argue that much has been achieved in the last 30 years and it should not be unraveled. However on local levels, especially in Greece, many people who can vote are angry at austerity measures enacted to meet EU rules. Further north, many Germans are tired of apparently subsidizing countries to the south. I think cooler heads might prevail, but would not bet heavily.

England may have another problem: Scotland voted 62 percent to 38 percent to remain in the EU. The Scots have been thinking of breaking away from England (45/55 vote in 2014) and Northern Ireland might also leave.

If so, no more United Kingdom.

If the EU falls apart, what does that imply for the U.S.? Turmoil in the stock markets? Probably for a while. Some U.S. corporations which parked earnings in Europe to avoid taxes at home might suffer. However, think of countries having big economies with stock and bond markets: U.S., China, England, Germany (which uses the Euro), Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, Canada, Russia...In which country would you actually feel most safe investing? My guess is that money will flow to the U.S., particularly into U.S. government bonds. As old Treasury bonds with high rates mature, Uncle Sam will be able replace them with bonds at low rates of 2 percent or less, something like partially refinancing a mortgage at a lower rate (see the current “Treasury yield curve.”) Our U.S. stock markets have reached new highs, suggesting to me that some of this has already happened.

Our economic and political system needs to remain stable.

PRISON F ROM PAGE 1 The furniture business, along with Gates and around 25 other inmates working in the shop, are part of a Montana Department of Corrections program aimed at educating incarcerated men and women with vocational and business skills.

The program, Montana Correctional Enterprises, has been around in some form almost as long as the prison itself, and employs nearly 500 inmates in jobs from milking cows to refinishing old tractors to designing and printing every license plate in the state.

“Our goal is to provide education and training to inmates to provide them life skills so that they don’t return to prison,” said MCE Administrator Gayle Lambert, sitting in her office last week.

The program is a two-sided coin, Lambert explained. On one side is the rehabilitation of inmates. Along with marketable skills like auto repair experience and pre-apprenticeship certifications, inmates learn how to draft resumés, apply for and keep jobs. Men and women who take part in the MCE’s various programs for more than a year re-offend around 27 percent less than those who are not involved.

“That’s a pretty big deal,” Lambert said.

On the other side of the coin are the businesses themselves.

The MCE receives $800,000 of financial support from the state’s general fund, but the rest of its $18 million budget is self-sustaining. All the money it receives from its programs — from the sale of milk to Darigold to vehicle maintenance for the Department of Natural

Resources and Conservation — goes straight back into MCE’s coffers.

“If we weren’t self-sufficient, we wouldn’t be here,” Lambert said. “We have a product because we are training inmates, and the only way to keep training is to sell the products.”

As a whole, U.S. correctional industries purchase around $1.2 billion in raw materials, according to the National Correctional Industries Association. And a Washington State Institute for Public Policy study showed that states receive $4.77 worth of benefits for every $1 spent on CI. Programs like MCE are common across the country, but what is unique is the breadth of Montana’s educational offerings, Lambert said.

“People are shocked when they come here and find out everything we do and how we do it with inmates,” she said, noting the sign shop, where inmate employees manufacture many state department road signs, and the sewing shop, where workers make nearly all the prisoners’ clothing.

The only program that is missing, according to Lambert, is a coding education program, which MCE plans to add within the next year.

But for the most part the administrator doesn’t like to fixate on the business side of things.

“We always say that the product is our released inmate who has life skills and work ethic,” she said.

Nearly a third of the total inmate population has a job with MCE, from fighting wildfires to preparing the 12,000 meals that the prison’s food factory produces every day for correctional institutions around the state.

My Two Cents “There’s another department head I have to work with on a project. Even though the project is in my area, I’m looking for her to submarine me by trying to pull one of my key people to use on one of her other projects. She has in the past. She came from a big corporation two years ago and thinks she knows what the best thing is to do, completely ignoring my 22 years at this company. I don’t want to take this from her anymore. Any suggestions on how to approach this situation?”

— M.S., department manager, Bozeman IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE REACHED your tipping point. This can actually be a great time to hit the pause button just like you are, let go of what has happened in the past, and focus on how you want this upcoming project to work now. I’m not suggesting it’s easy to let go of the past, but realize this: Every time you find yourself festering about being submarined, you are giving away your peace of mind to what’s already happened. Why not focus your time and energy and staff on how you want this to turn out now?

Focus on what you do want versus what you don’t want.

Life is calling for you to show up differently, M.S. Whenever I hear a client making a complaint, I ask them to turn it into a request. Doing that shifts you and your focus out of reactive mode and into intentional action. Consider this: Pain is inevitable; suffering, however, is optional. Great leaders find ways to move into action.

If you don’t, you may find yourself caught in a Drama Control Triangle with this other department head and your direct report. Let me explain more about this concept, and I think you’ll see what I mean.

Whenever there are three people working together, and things aren’t going well, you can bet that the Drama Control Triangle is at play. Gaining control in a dysfunctional way creates drama, thus the name. It happens quite often in business, and

16

A U G U S T 3 0 , 2 016 • B U S I N E S S J O U R N A L

when you become aware of it, you can take action to change the drama of what’s going on. It takes your self-awareness and your ability to manage yourself differently to be effective in stopping its impact.

The Drama Control Triangle, developed by Stephen Karpman, MD, in 1968, is one of my favorite communication tools because it’s simple and powerful at the same time. Imagine a triangle with one of three roles at each point — persecutor, rescuer and victim.

When you say you are looking for this other department head to “submarine” you, it is probably safe to say that you see yourself in a victim role with her, making her the persecutor. That sets up a scenario for your direct report to become the rescuer. Here’s why: It was probably very uncomfortable for your direct report to be in the middle of two department heads feuding over his job focus, but I’ll bet he chose to rescue you from being “submarined” when this other department head tried to pull him from working on your project.

Now here is where it gets interesting.

The thing about the Drama Control Triangle is that it is dynamic; the roles can change among the same three people within seconds. Any one of several possibilities might occur next.

Perhaps you, feeling victimized by the other department head, turn on her, moving her into a victim position while you become the persecutor.

At that point, your direct report might feel bad for the other department head and try to rescue her from you.

Or maybe, you might feel embarrassed that your direct report is rescuing you from this other department head, so you turn on him letting him know you don’t need his help, making him the victim and you the persecutor.

At that point, the other department head could take on the rescue role, saving your direct report from your persecution.

So it goes, with endless variations, round and

By RIS HIGGINS

round the triangle, creating drama all in the name of attempting to get control. The reality is, no one has control.

You have the opportunity to stop this “drama” before it even begins by having a conversation with the other department head that doesn’t come from a victim’s perspective, but from you as an authentic leader. Decide what it is you really want and then get curious to find out what it is that she really wants. Surprised about the curious part?

You’ll find when you give her what you want — to be listened to and understood — you’ll likely get that same thing back from her.

You might want to clarify what the impact was on you and your project when she attempted to pull your direct report from your project last year. Share that with her. Do you know what her reasons were? It would be helpful to find out the whole story, discovering what you don’t know. What else was on her plate? What were her concerns? What must she have been thinking that her behavior made sense? What is there for you to learn here?

Once you have answers to these questions, consider what other choices you have. How do you want this to turn out? What requests or offers can you make to have it work differently this year?

In the words of Dr. Matthew Budd, author of “You Are What You Say,” “Listening to another involves listening to what your words mean to him or her, not to you. The cardinal sin of communication is assuming that what was said is what was heard. To avoid this you must ask, observe, inquire, discuss and listen for what the other person understands.”

When you initiate a discussion like this, you elevate the conversation into one of generating new possibilities instead of reliving old, familiar dramas. You are no longer a victim, but a leader, and you will inspire striking results.

Ris Higgins is a leadership coach, change agent, and innovative thought leader. She has spent the last 24 years learning the joys and challenges of leading her business with her husband, Joe.
