Feed Your Brain, Keep It Young...

Attend the Grand Event In a matter of weeks, I’ll be at the IPIA Grand Event, visiting with all of you, and learning as much as I can. As I’ve gotten older and lessened my grip on my brain’s youth, I’ve begun making a plan on how I’m going to stay sharp, avoid negative thoughts and replace them with productive, motivating ones. I don’t necessarily obsess about keeping my brain young, but I do feel a disturbance about aging in a wasteful, painful way. I’ve always been a worker, a helper, a curious participant, and I fear that as I age, that will be taken from me. I don’t mind this agitation though, because I think we are wired to worry, and it’s that form of anxiety that keeps us on our game.

Think about it: from the beginning of time, cave people and wild animals were on their guard, worried about staying safe and alive. That hasn’t been bred out of us yet. It’s why we’re all still here. Worry can protect us, motivate us and make us pay attention. These are some of the reasons that I keep close to our industry. The rewards from long term relationships, our hard work together over the years and the feeling of not being alone in my chosen career, are means of feeling healthy, and as a result, of aging as best I can. My children are still young, and that in turn keeps me young, although it’s quite nearly killed me on a regular basis as well.

I love our association gatherings at any venue, for what they bring to the table of our cumulative cultures. Whether we are suppliers, ice manufacturers, the press or the extended ‘families of,’ we make up the sum total of who we are and what we do. This upcoming event will surely be a spectacular series of information packed days and nights, which will bring the best to us, and which will produce the best from us… keeping us all healthy and marking one more year for all of us in this journey of life.

I also want to welcome Ice Maid/Roesch to our advertising family! Their ad can be found on page 9 in this issue. Please remember to support all the advertisers in the pages of Refrigeration Magazine when you’re on the exhibit hall floor in Orlando, and in all your buying decisions. We do this together.

Happy Pre-Halloween, and I’ll see you in Orlando!

Nice article on Now We’re All Looking at the Palms of Our Hands (August 2014, p. 7). You might want to do a follow up on this article. Smart devices, phones and tablets, is exactly what is and has been happening to the ice industry. That is what RouteMobile is all about. In the old days we had PocketRoute (PDA technology). Everything now is quickly shifting to RouteMobile (Android). In fact, it is getting harder and harder to find devices for the old PDA technology. The PDA is dying and quickly shifting to smart device technology. Fewer and fewer ice companies are still hanging onto the old technology by repairing old PDA devices or buying used devices online. The future is clear.

You might want to talk to some ice companies about this. RouteMan is entering our third year with RouteMobile (Android) technology. There are now hundreds of RouteMobile (Android) devices in use by our RouteMan clients and the number keeps growing all the time. Let me know if you would like to speak with some of them and I will be happy to provide you with their contact information. Again, great job on the article. I, the old timers that are still hanging on to the old PDA devices, see your article and take it to heart. We keep trying to educate them but they don’t always listen unless they hear it from someone else.

used to be able to get my rest and even temper in between correspondences with my customers and associates. I’d send them a letter about something, and have to wait for them to receive it, and respond. That gave me time to do a week’s worth of other things. Now there’s email, texts, voicemail and Facebook…just a few ways to send an immediate message. Those of us who are ‘responders’ never let things lay

for very long. That leaves very little time to breathe or let your business interests breathe either. The message or request comes in and the response goes out. Usually immediately. That leaves plenty of time for a repeat of what just occurred…a hundred more times in the same day.

If someone is speaking to me while I’m on the phone with a customer, I find myself trying to accommodate his or her question or comment while listening to who is requesting my attention while my emails are being half-read, and I’m looking at the phone I’m speaking into trying to read the text that just came through.

Mail used to come by the mailman, once a day. Now it comes every second.

This must stop. And it will. After I finish writing this.

It’s ironic that technology’s main purpose is to improve production. Yet, the more we use it, the less it seems we get done. One study even showed that digital distractions are responsible for economic losses of $900 billion a year at work.

Entrepreneurs are more prone to far too many technical irons in the fire. Excitement tends to build in the marketplace whenever a new technological device surfaces. But as more devices materialize and continue to connect us in different ways, the initial enthusiasm for many entrepreneurs who use them is gradually turning sour.

In an informal survey, a majority of the nearly 50 entrepreneurs polled

by BusinessNewsDaily admitted they sometimes feel overwhelmed by the abundance of technology in their lives.

“Because technology has made it so easy to stay connected to business, family and time-consuming nonsense, hours can go by without any real

accomplishments. Staying focused gets more and more challenging,” said Lorraine Pierce, CEO of cosmetics company L.A. Minerals.

Pierce and several others, however, have discovered ways to alleviate their “digital overload.” For relief, Pierce swims to disconnect.

“As far as I know, my phone and iPad aren’t waterproof … for now,” she said.

Business coach Shawn Brodof of Clarity Coaching isn’t surprised many entrepreneurs feel consumed.

“Think back 10, 20, 30 years ago,” he said.

“We had none or few of the electronic toys that are such an integral part of our everyday lives now. You could argue that we are much more productive, but we have incredible demands on our time as we fit more and more into the 24 hours we have each day.”

Seven of them shared their stories of how they remedy their occasional feelings of overconsumption:

Get active » Derrick Guest, CEO of Griot’s Roll Film Production & Services, developed anxiety from using so much technology all of the time, which affected his sleeping patterns because “I couldn’t turn my brain off at night.” Similar to Pierce, Guest exercises to remedy his problem. “What I do to keep myself sane is to meditate and go to the gym. I leave my devices in my locker when I’m in the gym.” He and his wife sometimes also shut off their devices when they seek time for themselves. “At least an hour a day can do wonders.”

Disconnect » Jason Ross, founder of JackThreads, sets aside periods of his day where he doesn’t answer work-related inquiries or e-mails. He also makes sure to put his phone away during important events for friends and family. “You need time

Jason O’Neill, 14-year-old owner of Pencil Bugs, a company that sells handmade pencil toppers, said avoiding “digital overload” begins with delegating responsibilities. O’Neill has his mom handle some components of his business that deal with electronics. And even though he’s growing up during the digital generation, he says the best thing people can do is to realize “humans do not need every device going at the same time.”

when you don’t have the normal office distractions. Go to a coffee shop, the library or even an empty conference room down the hall. A change of scenery can make a huge difference in productivity, because you only have one thing to focus on: your work.”

Elizabeth Hardig, owner of Virtual Visibility, often juggles 10 projects and a handful of clients each day. “I was overwhelmed, distracted, inefficient and simply slow on completing tasks,” she said. “When you are on a deadline to get a task done, physically move locations. You would be surprised how much you can focus

Lloyd Princeton, president of Design Management Company, asks people to call him – even on his cell phone – only during business hours or send an e-mail instead. “I also have turned off any kind of incoming e-mail announcements, so that I can actually get through the e-mail in front of me and focus on one thing at a time.”

Assess »

Rich Patterson, owner of Big Coast Brands, uses social media as his primary marketing tool. He says social media can be a “huge time suck” for some people and suggests ditching certain platforms if you feel overwhelmed. He also recommends logging out of social media accounts and allotting a time limit for using them.”I keep them all to less than 45 minutes per day.”

Take a digital vacation »

Crystal Patriarche, owner of BookSparksPR and a self-proclaimed “mega multi-tasker,” takes a monthly mental-health day. “It’s hard to do, but I force myself to completely shut off for a whole day: no Twitter, no Facebook, no client e-mails. I simply kick back and tell myself, ‘It can wait until tomorrow.’”

YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED HOW MUCH YOU CAN FOCUS WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE THE NORMAL OFFICE DISTRACTIONS. GO TO A COFFEE SHOP, THE LIBRARY OR EVEN AN EMPTY CONFERENCE ROOM DOWN THE HALL.

t’s the great irony of the digital age. It seems that the more we do, the less that we get done. Many experts believe it’s our own digital dust that’s dragging us down.

Our constant connectedness, the beeping and buzzing and bleeping digital devices we carry around, aren’t just causing us to become megamultitaskers, they are also taking a social and financial toll.

Basex, a research firm that specializes in technical issues in the workplace, reckons that information overload is responsible for economic losses of $900 billion a year at work.

The real due bill, though, may be for the damage this busyness has inflicted on our productivity, creativity and the quality of our relationships.

“I think this 24/7 layer of connectedness we’ve added has really ramped up the feeling that life is going out of control,” said William Powers, author of “Hamlet’s Blackberry,” a cautionary tale about the digital din of our own making.

The first warning sign is usually a heightened sense of having too much going on that requires a constant toggling of our attention, he said.

“You don’t really know how addicted you are,” Powers told BusinessNewsDaily. “You’re skating on the surface of your day. We’re not built to handle that onslaught of information.”

As with most addictions, acknowledging that there’s a problem is the first step toward finding a cure. “You have to recognize what’s going on,” he said.

MERCHANDISERS

October 2014 │ REFRIGERATION Magazine 9

Technology has faced that issue firsthand. A selfdescribed “recovering cyber addict,” she found herself tethered to e-mail and unable to rein in her online multitasking.

She was getting less done, working more slowly and unable to concentrate.

After investigating research on how the brain works under information overload, she cut back on her media connectedness. “Things turned around dramatically,” she said. “I became a zealot.”

Her book, “Conquer CyberOverload,” grew out of that research and the workshops she subsequently conducted to coach people on how regain control of their lives by scaling back their use of digital devices. You need to know when to say no, she said.

A good place to start, she said, is by learning to take a more sequential approach to life. “Limit your multitasking,” she said. “Do one thing at a time. You’ll find you actually save time.”

Cantor cited research conducted at Stanford University that showed that multitasking was highly over-rated and often counterproductive.

It’s not enough to control our devices, she added. We need to control our time as well.

“Be the master of your interruptions,” she said. “Don’t be on call for everyone 24/7. Don’t let yourself be an all-day receptionist. You can Twitter your life away if you respond every time a response comes in. You need to set boundaries. It’s very hard to do at first.”

It’s an incremental learning process.

You don’t need to do it all day. Try it for 15 minutes to begin, or wait until you’re ready before checking your email.

10 REFRIGERATION Magazine │ October 2014

By adopting a more measured approach to your email, Cantor suggests you may also sidestep “sender’s regret” when you’re too quick to hit the reply button.

“The benefit of all this technology is a two-edged sword,” she said. “The ease of use comes back to bite you.”

“Be both the grasshopper and the ant,” Cantor suggested.

Being a workaholic doesn’t, in fact, pay off in terms of increased productivity, she said. Just like the battery in your laptop, you need to recharge. Play and leisure are as important in the creative process as hard work. (Tell that to the ice guy, this time of year.)

“Research shows that information overload interferes with your ability to think outside the box,” Cantor said.

For Powers, the solution that works for him and his family is an “Internet Sabbath.” They shut off their modem on Friday and restore the connection on Monday. This family ritual, he said, is now in its fourth year. (Maybe the ice industry can do this a little bit in January and February next year…while refurbishing your equipment.)

“When we return to our digital lives on Monday, we’re better at it,” he said. “That space helps me as a digital person. We have to calibrate our own connectedness, and that’s going to be different for every person.”

A self-diagnosed addict, Hoffman estimates that she receives up to 500 emails and texts a day -- and stubbornly responds to every single one, even at 3 a.m.

“It’s a compulsion, like an itch you have to scratch,” she says. “Like Pavlov’s dog, I hear the bell and I run to the BlackBerry salivating. I think I

have carpal tunnel or something. I will keep texting until I’m in pain.”

There’s something very irresistible about an unopened message, Hallowell says.

“You do get a dopamine squirt from accessing your messages. The mail used to come once a day,” he says.

“Now it comes every second.”

There’s no shut-off switch, says Beth Feldman, a Westchester, N.Y.-based entrepreneur who juggles a BlackBerry, iPhone, and cell phone from 7 a.m. to midnight and works with clients across different time zones. “There used to be boundaries,” she says, “but now there are no boundaries.”

This free-for-all frenzy has a real impact on relationships and families, knocking our work-life balance off-kilter.

Feldman, who is also the co-author of Peeing in Peace: Tales and Tips for Type A Moms, has caught herself checking messages during her kids’ musical performances and Little League games. Her kids will ask her afterward: “Mommy, why were you on your BlackBerry?”

She is desperately trying to curb her habits. “The minute you see that flashing light, you start thinking, ‘Do I need to check it?’” she says. “I’m not a brain surgeon. I’m not involved in life and death matters. I realized I have to draw a line. If I’m watching my kids’ performance, it’s not the end of the world if I don’t return an email.”

AMMONIA PARTS Why we need the rest »

FARLEYS FRIGERATION

These constant interruptions take a toll on our bodies and our mental states.

Feldman suffers from headaches after long days spent staring at the computer screen and putting out fires over her cell phone. “The last thing I want is to put myself at risk for a heart attack,” she says. “But if you’re not getting away from it enough, it could become dangerous.”

Jetsetter Hoffman suffers from insomnia and blames part of it on an obsession with being connected. “It’s like I can’t even disconnect to go to sleep,” she says.

Multitasking can cause the brain to overheat, like a car engine, says Hallowell. “The brain needs periods to recover, not just sleeping at night,” he says, “but during the day, [it needs] periods of rest and recovery. It simply can’t run straight out all day long at peak performance.”

Type A people, who feel obliged to respond to every email, can work themselves into what Dr. Hallowell dubs the F-State - frantic, frazzled, frenzied. “They get toxic stress and burn up energy rapidly and wastefully,” he says. “In that state, they do bad work, lose friends, and lose clients. It’s bad for them in every measurable way.”

If you don’t prioritize, Hallowell says, you’ll go in many directions at once and you won’t do anything well. “You really need to be very clear about what matters most to you,” he says, “It won’t happen automatically. If you don’t take your time, your time will be taken from you.”

He adds: “If you de-stress, if you prioritize, everything gets better -- your physical health, your longevity, your enjoyment of life.”

Earth Day Founder Keeps Green

Inside and Out

In A City Where Green Is Everything

In 1990, I had the honor of meeting Denis Hayes at a small gathering in Ansley Park, here in Atlanta. He was a friend of a friend, and being interested in the environment as I’ve always been, I was invited to break bread and hear Denis speak. It was the 20th Anniversary of his founding of Earth Day, and he was ‘making the rounds’ to various stops around the country.

The solar panels at Bullitt Center convert sunlight into electricity.

Today, his message continues in many tangible ways, including the phenomenal Bullitt Center, a project he designed and built in Seattle, and often called the greenest commercial building in the world.

This building produces all it needs to sustain itself. Seeing as how Seattle is perhaps one of the cloudiest cities in the world, this is an uncanny accomplishment in itself.

But first, a little about Denis Hayes: He was born in 1944 and grew 12 REFRIGERATION Magazine │ October 2014

up in the small town of Camas, Washington. He was an avid hiker and his experiences growing up in the Pacific Northwest instilled a lifelong love of nature. He received his undergraduate degree from Stanford and enrolled in the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.

He left Harvard after being selected

by Senator Gaylord Nelson to organize the first Earth Day. The first Earth Day (April 22, 1970) had participants and celebrants in two thousand colleges and universities, about ten thousand primary and secondary schools, and hundreds of communities. It is believed that some 20 million demonstrators participated. In 2009, the story of Earth Day was told in the film Earth Days which closed that year’s Sundance Film Festival.

Since those early days, Mr. Hayes has been at the core of the modern environmental movement since its launch. As a foundation president, attorney, lobbyist, Stanford professor, grassroots organizer, and the youngest director of a national laboratory in the nation’s history, he has spent much of his life fighting.

He speaks about the major environmental challenges and opportunities confronting us – global warming, expanding renewable energy,

The building reaches its Net Zero Energy and Net Zero Water goals through a variety of systems such as: A high performance building envelope.

The Center’s layout is designed to optimize natural light with an estimated 82 percent of the spaces lit by natural sunlight.

C areful coordination with tenants to reduce their “plug loads” by over 75 percent through the use of high-efficiency monitors, copiers, laptops, zero clients and cloud based servers.

2 6-bore, 400 foot-deep geoexchange HVAC system that will harvest energy from the earth to provide efficient heating and cooling.

R adiant floor system will efficiently heat and cool office spaces.

242 KW roof-top photovoltaic array will provide all the net energy needed for the building.

Rainwater and greywater reclamation systems including a 56,000-gallon cistern to capture rainwater and a constructed wetland to treat greywater.

Foam flush, composting toilets reduce toilet water consumption by 96 percent.

Going green green building, protecting our oceans and natural resources – and about the roles we can all play in ensuring that our kids will have a sustainable future.

So last year, on Earth Day, Seattle’s latest green building celebrated its grand opening: The Bullitt Center, a superefficient office space at 1501 East Madison Street. It was designed to become the world’s largest functioning, commercial Living Building, using an estimated 83 percent less energy than a typical Seattle office building and achieving Net Zero Energy and Net Zero Water.

The west coast engineering firm PAE, which specializes in sustainable design, provided energy modeling, and mechanical and electrical engineering for the building, as well as lighting design services through its Luma Lighting division.

How Green Is Your Building?

Refrigeration Magazine always wonders, ‘How Green Is Your Building?’ as we watch our own industry address critical energy consumption challenges. The Bullitt Center is a showcase to observe and take knowledge and inspiration from.

IPIA Grand Event

Norcan Flexible Packaging Inc Film with Renatura™ Additive We asked for examples of how companies in our industry are “going green” (p. 12-13) and we didn’t have to look far.

Norcan is committed to offering products that meet today’s environmental needs. Its customers have the option to order their film with RENATURA additive making their packaging Oxo-Degradable. The additive will allow the film to start its degradation process once disposed of and exposed to the natural elements in the environment. RENATURA uses a nonharmful agent to start the breakdown process, making it more environmentally friendly than some of its competitors.

Renatura™ is the only environmentally safe product that combines to reduce, reuse, recycle and remove plastic.

Beverages To Go Beverage Station

Ice Systems & Supplies, Inc. (ISSI) Evolution Palletizer

Don Brown of Water Vendors By Us will be debuting his new company and vending concept called Beverages To Go at the Grand Event. Beverages To Go will add four additional profit centers to the ice manufacturer’s existing retail location. Spanning 13’l x 9’h x 3’d, this all-in-one beverage station will give customers access to fresh, clean, purified water through a Water Vendors By Us water vending machine, water enhancers through an IceTronics snack merchandiser, and packaged ice through a Polar Temp ice merchandiser. With a retail location already secured, ice manufacturers can simply add the Beverages To Go station and earn additional revenue.

Any product that helps put more money in the ice manufacturer’s pocket is a product worth seeing.

Palletizing can present many challenges to the ice man. That’s why ISSI used its 37 years of experience to develop a fast, versatile palletizer that leaves a small footprint called the Evolution. This innovative palletizer has a low life cycle cost, making it very economical and can palletize up to 48 bags per minute. With its simple yet durable design, as well as financial benefits, we feel this palletizer is not to be missed at the Grand Event.

Association update Where Are We Going With Public Affairs?

An IPIA Initiative, by Consultant Chris Lamond

The most immediate future for our public affairs efforts is to present multiple submissions to the Conference for Food Protection (CFP) with the goal of making improvements to the FDA’s Food Code specific to ice. As you may know, the federal food code assists all levels of jurisdiction (federal, state and local) by providing rules in which they can regulate the retail and food service environments.

The CFP, made up of federal state regulators and industry representatives, meets every two years and is tasked with considering new updates (like ours) to the Food Code. We make sound, logical requests backed by scientific evidence (UGA study). The title of this article suggests that we are winning over the hearts and minds of the food safety community. The acceptance of any of our submissions will be real

evidence of this fact. (Editor’s Note: One of five submissions recommended to the CFP, the one that called for greater frequency for the cleaning and sanitizing of ice machines, was ‘accepted as amended’ by the Conference.)

owner’s manuals to establish their recommended cleaning and sanitizing processing and frequencies and its rationale.

3) Report back to the CFP with recommendations.

As for next steps, the CFP will now form a committee to review and respond to our issue. When the CFP membership feels that an issue is important enough to research in more detail, they will formulate a committee to review the issues included in the submission. As directed by the CFP, the “Ice Maker Equipment Cleaning and Sanitizing Committee” will be created to address the following charges:

The IPIA will play a large role in the committee and we will finally get a full review of these very important issues.

Most importantly, we will have the opportunity to build better relationships with the FDA, states and industry which will lead to other chances for all of the IPIA’s issues and concerns to be heard.

This was a big step forward!

1) Survey regulatory agencies to determine: A. Existing regulatory authority or guidance criteria for ice maker cleaning and sanitizing procedures and frequency.

B. Determine extent of critical and non-critical inspection violations.

2) Review ice maker manufacturers/

Running head Fifth Generation in the Ice Business is Not Unusual...

...and Emergency Ice’s Toler is an Example

Earl Toler grew up in the ice industry and has grown his company even in the literal backyard of the nation’s largest competitor. His company history is a combination of timely decisions, and one of his key vendors asked him to talk about how his history relates to their product.

I love the ice industry because it has been good to my family. My greatgreat grandfather, great grandfather, grandfather, mother and dad all have or are in the ice industry. It has been ingrained in me; it’s truly in my blood. I went to college to become a minister, and at the end of the day when it was time to enter a postgraduate degree program, I felt and still do that I am supposed to be in the family business that my dad started.

Hopefully some or all of my four boys will join the company. I try to serve our customers as well as employees with principles I gleaned in college. There is nothing more rewarding than serving a satisfied customer. The monetary rewards are nice, but having a good name is priceless.

On the flip side, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing an employee improving their life situation. We make a deliberate effort to promote from within and give our team every opportunity to grow personally and career wise. We want motivated 24 REFRIGERATION Magazine │ October 2014

people! That mindset has allowed us to grow and it is one of the major reasons we went to RouteMan software.

In 2010 we knew that we had reached our maximum capacity. We would take all deliveries and would write them on an order book, and then we would wait for the driver to call and give him the order. One driver might have five calls waiting, but we would give them out one at a time, all while trying to take orders. This made for a stressful and crowded office; we felt it and believed our breaking point to be 100 deliveries a day.

My sister came in frustration and told me that we have to do something better for our customers and our own sanity. At the time there was not a system that fit our business model; the hot shot one hour delivery. I searched for a software product, and one company later reached out with the idea to help with the development of a system that would meet our business model.

We wanted real time dispatch with immediate data entry. I felt that it was not realistic to wait until the end of the day for invoices to be downloaded into the system, and the reality is that drivers lose devices. I did not like the prospect of losing a day’s worth of invoices if a device is lost (not to mention the cost of the device). I found an answer to all of those concerns, along with eliminating a crowded office.

Often I feel that less is more, that too many people in an office can lead to lack of focus and increased opportunity for human error. Because of the software integration we handle 200 deliveries with relative ease with a single office staff. On busy days a driver knows he has to move quickly because he sees what needs to be done on his device without calling the office. It has allowed the office to focus on servicing the customers and the drivers to accomplish the deliveries given to them. On top of all of that at any time I get a real snapshot of our daily sales, I don’t have to wait for manual data entry in QuickBoooks.

I ‘preach’ this software to anyone that does not have it. All of the folks over there get it and understand the ice industry. We have basically three months to make our year, and immediate assistance is absolutely necessary. Above all that, the customer

Family business is impressed with the system. I don’t know why but they immediately take you more seriously when you print the invoice on site. The software’s Customer Care Center has been a hit. Our customers can login to their account, look over invoices, pay them online, and even order online. Truly amazing and all customers that have used it have called with rave reviews.

a company. Since that time we have grown to over two hundred tons of production and expanded our service area from Oklahoma to Central Texas.

On those long hot days in the summer or even longer cold days in the winter I look at Mr. Cool and think of my dad, who drops by every now and then, and I just keep smiling.

“This is an exciting time for the independent ice producer. I am really excited about the future of the ice industry and even more excited to see what unfolds over the next five years.”

This is an exciting time for the independent ice producer. I am really excited about the future of the ice industry and even more excited to see what unfolds over the next five years.

I have had the opportunity to meet a lot of bright ‘young’ guys in the ice business that have great ideas and are implementing exciting new programs that benefit the independents.

Emergency Ice has always been synonymous with our family name in a way. My dad started the company as a ‘peddler’ back in the mid-seventies.

He then put in Manitowoc Ice Cubers that eventually grew to forty cuber ice machines! My dad has always been my hero and anyone that meets him loves him. I watched him struggle as he tried to keep the doors open at times against bigger competitors and he always survived while never breaking his smile or letting anyone see him ‘sweat.’ “Mr. Cool,” the company character we still use today in all our marketing, was created in my high school days while sitting in class doodling, my idea of the image my father showed in business.

“Mr. Cool” is the closest thing I could come up with that reminds me of my dad and embodies us as a family and October 2014 │ REFRIGERATION Magazine 25
