2015 Readers’ Choice Internet Provider Mediacom l

Mediacom’s blazing-fast Internet service was selected as a Reader’s Choice 2015 winner, and we at Mediacom appreciate area customers who voted to put our internet service in the #1 spot once again. The best way to thank customers is to continually deliver reliably fast broadband service. We’ve been doing this by keeping our foot on the accelerator pedal – raising broadband internet speeds eight times in 12 years. We know our customers want the fastest broadband (high-speed) speeds to smoothly stream video clips and movies, use Skype or Facetime for video calling, participate in networked video games, or follow the live action of a favorite sports team. Consumers have many choices in today’s competitive marketplace, but not all deliver the same speeds and consistent quality. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) conducts rigorous broadband tests, concluding that cable-internet companies, including Mediacom, deliver, on average, 102 percent of advertised download speeds. By comparison, DSL internet companies deliver, on average 91 percent of advertised speeds. ISP speed rankings from Netflix show similar rankings, with Mediacom speeds outperforming DSL service from traditional telephone companies. Faster speeds and capital investment go hand-in-hand. Mediacom continually invests private capital resources to build more miles of fiber and expand network capacity.

2015 Readers’ Choice Chiropractic Care Mason City Chiropractic l

We are extremely proud to be the winners of the Reader’s Choice for Chiropractic care for the 2nd year in a row! “We are grateful for the recognition from the Mason City community and our awesome patients.” stated by the office doctor Scott Nelson DC. We will continue our service to the community in the best possible way. Dr. Nelson has big plans for Mason City Chiropractic in this next coming year to hopefully expand our services and help with pain relief in new and innovative ways. The goal of our office at Mason City Chiropractic is pretty simple, to relieve your pain. We aren’t going to set you up for an unnecessary 20 visit wellness plan. Once we reach our goal and you’re feeling great, you are free to walk in whenever you need us again. We know and understand that life gets busy so our established patients are free to walk in whenever it fits into their schedules. Office Manager Jody Whitehill states, “We hate sitting in waiting rooms just as much the next person. We will fit you in as soon as possible.” We really do think of our patients as family and like to treat them as such. Great customer service is a huge component of Mason City Chiropractic and we greet every patient with a smile. NO APPOINTMENTS NEEDED for our established patients. New patients are always welcome to call for an appointment typically on that same day. A few of our services here at Mason City Chiropractic include spinal adjustments, intersegmental therapy, spinal decompression, massage therapy, and nutritional supplements. The therapy treatments we offer are available to give our patients the best overall care and best chance to hold their adjustments. The therapies available are ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, and cold laser. These therapy treatments can work great for not only back pain but extremity joint pain if you are having pain in a shoulder, ankle, wrist, knee, etc. We have amazing massage therapists that work through our office. Rhonda James has been with us for over 5 years now and can perform deep tissue work, hot stone, and lomi-lomi therapy. Unfortunately, we will be saying good-bye to Scott and Ashley Redman as they move on after working at MCC for over 8 years now. Our friendly and caring staff members include: Jody Whitehill, Office Manager originally from Nora Springs, Ia has been working at MCC for 5 years and currently lives in Mason City with her 4 children Jaelyn, Zaria, Jameer, and Zayden. Nicole Cooper, Chiropractic Assistant originally from Mason City, Ia has been working for MCC for 3 years now after graduating from UNI. She lives in Mason City with her husband Kyle Cooper. Brittney Tosevigen, Chiropractic Assistant from Mason City, Ia has been working here for 3 years after graduating from NIACC with her Associates in Science with a Radiology major. Kelsey Putnam, Office assistant and UA technician originally from Texas and has been at the facility for almost 2 years. She also recently had her first child, Jaxon.

It began in 1930 as the story of two men and one gigantic leap of faith… When Charles Hyde and David Vredenburg opened their first store in Beaconsfield, Iowa in 1930, the Great Depression was just taking hold. But they had faith in themselves, faith in each other, and faith in the fundamental principles that guided their business – friendliness, helpfulness, honesty, dedication and respect. Hy-Vee of Mason City first opened its doors on April 28, 1965. Now 50 years later, we’ve grown from a single store to 3 large stores, and those fundamental principles Hyde and Vredenburg believed so strongly in, still guide the way Hy-Vee does business today. We are proud to offer quality groceries and merchandise plus a wide variety of services to the residents of north central Iowa.

2015 Readers’ Choice Friendliest Tavern, Friendliest Bartender Staff Tailgaters l

Tailgaters was chosen as Readers’ Choice for Friendliest Bartender/Staff and Friendliest Tavern. Owner Ryan Kramer would like to thank both customers and staff for the designation. Kramer started with the Sports Bar and Grill four and a half years ago as part owner. He became the majority owner a year and a half ago. Adam Blanchard is a partner. Both Kramer and Blanchard work full time with six parttime employees. Kramer chose the business because he likes interaction and likes meeting new people. “It serves as a meeting place and it’s knowing people can come in and relax,” he said. Being designated as the Friendliest Tavern comes from providing quality service, and customers are always happy, Kramer said.. Quality service comes about with everyone working together and meeting customers’ needs. “We’re only as good as our customers are,” and they understand about service because they see we are always busy,” he said. Food includes pizza, burgers, fried food and sandwiches. For sports, there are nine TV’s and six different channels, plus sports themes on the walls. Iowa is the most popular, but “We work with everybody else in meeting customers’ needs.” First and foremost for Tailgaters, success is the clientele and having a good staff, said Kramer. Tailgaters is located at 627 South Federal Avenue and opens at 11 a.m. Sunday through Saturday. Monday closing goes by customers. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Tailgaters closes at 2 a.m. The phone number for the business is 641-424-1310.

Northwestern Steak House Est. 1920 About two hours North of Des Moines lies a steakhouse that’s been around in one form or another since the ‘20s, and the steaks are all prepared one way: Greek-style. This means they’re broiled in olive oil and doused with a special blend of Greek seasoning and secret ingredients, and the result is that you can cut your steak with a fork. The walls are plastered with old-timey movie posters featuring Chaplin and John Wayne in a cozy, 50-seat space. Article from Thrillist.com after being voted “most Iconic restaurant of Iowa”

2015 Readers’ Choice Mattress/Bed Store Furniture Mattress Outlet l

The Furniture Mattress Outlet is a family-owned and operated business “built on integrity and innovation,” according to its owners. Founded by Tim Latham and Randy Klemsrud in 2002, the outlet started as a mattress store and has grown into a full-line furniture store, carrying popular name-brand furniture from Ashley and Lane to Flexsteel and Southern Motion. As the name implies, they still carry a full line of mattresses including Spring Air, Englander, and Symbol. “At the furniture mattress outlet, quality is never compromised,” says Tim. With over 50 years combined experience in the furniture industry, Tim, Randy and Jack and Ryan carry “furniture that stands up to our strict standards of quality, value and durability.” “We understand that the customer wants to invest in furniture that can stand the test of time as well as being affordable.” The Furniture Mattress Outlet also offers free delivery, every-day 0% interest financing options, and free disposal of old furniture. Furniture Mattress Outlet believes its success comes from that quality, fair pricing and service, but also from its commitment to the communities it serves in northern Iowa and southern Minnesota. The owners are involved in a number of non-profit organizations and fund raising and support various athletic teams, from Little League to varsity. The business is located in the old Mason City Millworks at 506 4th St. S.W. The building, dating from 1915, has a rich history in the town and still has its original wood floors, beams and brick walls. However, it has been updated to be more energy efficient, with new siding and other improvements that still fit in with the 100-year legacy of the building. “Keeping the tradition going!” That’s the goal for Tim Latham as he prepares to retire in the next few years to enjoy some time off after over 30 years in the furniture business. Randy, Jack and Ryan will be taking the reins and own the business, “offering quality furniture at the best price for years to come.”

2015 Readers’ Choice Insurance Agency State Farm Agents l

The four State Farm Insurance agents in Cerro Gordo County have been named as the Readers’ Choice Insurance Agency. They all thank the readers and clients who have supported them for this honor.. “We are excited to be recognized by our clients for this award for the third year in a row,” said Clint Thomas, who is at 2790 4th Street SW in Mason City. Thomas has been in the industry for 18 years, 15 years in Mason City. “Having great clients to work with is the reason I have a career in this industry and why I chose to move to Mason City 15 years ago,” Thomas emphasized. Echoed in different words by all four, Thomas says he really likes having a career where he feels like he can make an impact with the local community and the lives of the people in it. Thomas can be reached at 641-423-7924. New to the area in 2014, Kim Ruter, at 512 Main Avenue in Clear Lake, started with State Farm in May of 2013, and has been in the Clear Lake agency since January 2014. Before then, she was with a Fortune 500 company on business development and process management. Ruter loves the financial strength and core measures of State Farm, focusing on customers first and grounded in family values. She likes being an insurance agent and interacting with clients on a daily basis, providing protection today and for future planning. With those values in place for clients, she works to customize a package that is a fit for them and is based on their needs. Ruter can be reached at 641-3578292. For Tim Ihlenfeldt, it is being committed to supporting the neighborhoods State Farm serves , and the neighborhoods our agents call home, by helping to build safer, stronger and better-educated communities. Ihlenfeldt, whose office is at 525 S. Washington Avenue in Mason City, has been an agent for 20 years and has been in Mason City the past 8 years. He notes that “We are privileged and honored to be among a great community of families, individuals and businesses in Mason City and North Iowa.” He can be reached at 641-423-5620. Kristy Marquis is at 15 East State Street in Mason City. Marquis has been with State Farm for 22 years, 13 years in Mason City. Marquis says the State Farm agents try to provide “knock-your-socks-off” services so customers will not want to go anywhere else. “Knowing we have helped people is very satisfying,” says Marquis. “We often see people in bad circumstances and it is very satisfying to provide assistance during those times.” Marquis can be reached at 641-423-7930. Together, Thomas, Ihlenfeldt and Marquis have over 50 years experience in the insurance business. “So that certainly enhances the level of service our customers receive,” Marquis points out. For all four, customer satisfaction the top priority. Thomas also adds, “In our agency, we’ve tried to build a fun atmosphere for doing business.” State Farm is committed to safety at home, at work and on the road. Education efforts, started in the 1920s, encourage customers to develop safe habits that will protect them and their families. Success for State Farm agencies is built on the foundation of shared values: quality service and relationships, mutual trust, integrity and financial strength. Clint, Kim, Tim and Kristy would like to thank Mason City and North Iowa, and look forward to providing quality insurance and excellent service for many years to come. Stop in and visit with them today.
