Town & Country Credit Union claimed the title of #1 Credit Union in the Minot area again this year thanks to all of your votes. They’re on a mission to Positively Impact their members, employees and communities. Let’s dig in to how they do that: Positively Impacting Their Members The credit union is not only focused on offering great products and service for their members, the team is also proactively looking for ways to help their members save money with their low rates. There are many examples of this, but this example illustrates this point well. A member came in requesting a credit limit to his credit card. While helping him with this request, Town & Country Branch Manager Laura Bryant reviewed his credit and noticed that he had a vehicle loan with high interest. 6KH ZDV DEOH WR UH¿QDQFH WKDW ORDQ ORZHULQJ his interest rate by more than 12% which, in turn, lowered his monthly payment by nearly $200 a month and saved him $12,256 over the life of his loan! This is just one example of how the Town & Country Credit Union team is looking out for their members and Positively Impacting their
lives on a regular basis. Positively Impacting Their Employees Town & Country Credit Union’s leadership knows that engaged and happy employees are the key to providing great service to their members. They work hard to ensure their employees feel appreciated all year long with D JHQHURXV EHQHÂżWV SDFNDJH DV ZHOO DV IXQ activities and celebrations to keep morale up. “Like most this past year, 2020 challenged what we were used to and required us to pivot. Our employees really went above and beyond to continue to provide our services to our members and keep our business moving, so we wanted to make sure they felt extra appreciated,â€? said Jeremiah Kossen, President/ CEO. While they hosted many socially-distanced employee activities throughout the year, they capped off the end of 2020 with a December to Remember celebration complete with food, gifts, games and dress-up days for all staff.
Named #1 Credit Union
year, the credit union still donated to more than 100 causes in the Minot and the surrounding areas. Their team members are also common faces around the community volunteering with organizations like the Y’s Men, Sunrise Rotary, Companions for Children and many others. Want to learn more about Town & Country Credit Union and their mission to positively impact those they serve? Visit www.townandcountry.org or call 1-800-872-6358.
Positively Impacting Their Community The team at Town & Country is committed to giving back to their local communities. And while that looked a little different this past

To say that the last year was full of surprises, would be an understatement says Kristina Larson, owner of FirstLight Home Care. “Our clients were already more likely to be dealing with issues of isolation, access to needed services, and managing their health and well-being. Covid-19 has thrust these circumstances on everybody, ratcheting up the pressure on our most vulnerable populations and the people that care for them.” When asked for further comment on the issues facing health care workers, she grew thoughtful. “Well, I’d say that everyone has their life interrupted and their work impacted to some degree. Health care workers face the same challenges as everybody else… and a few more. It doesn’t matter if you’re an ER nurse, one or our team of dedicated caregivers, or caring for an aging relative. People RELY on you. We can’t work from home, or handle it with a Zoom call. People depend on us, it’s as simple as that.” “Our caregivers are our lifeblood,” Kristina added. “That’s always the case, but it’s true now more than ever. We’ve had to adapt to new health and safety precautions as a team. Scheduling has had to be fluid with kids out of school and close contact protocols. It takes a special type of person stay strong and care for others throughout it all. Kristina, along with her husband Mike, own and run FirstLight Home Care and employ about 80 caregivers in Minot and surrounding communities. They have offices in Minot and Rugby and actively serve clients from Devils Lake and Harvey to Kenmare, Mohall, Bottineau, and the Turtle Mountains—a logistical feat, to say the least. “We try to help everyone we can,” Mike chimed in. “We once took on a client in Grafton because they couldn’t find anyone else. Sometimes, I end up transporting clients myself to long distance medical appointments just so they can get help. If there’s a way to make it feasible, we try to find it.” The Larsons’ Minot office is staffed by two
FirstLight Home Care rises to meet challenges of 2020 and beyond.
full time employees to help serve their clients. Having a base of operations was a key asset for distributing Personal Protective Equipment this year. However, the Larsons insist the real asset was the people working in the office. Emily Clarke is the Office Manager for the Minot Location and FirstLight’s primary scheduler. She, among other duties, is responsible for scheduling over 50 caregiver visits per day. This requires matching client needs and personalities with the right caregivers, taking into account each caregiver’s individual work availability. “It’s a truly monumental task,” according to Mike. “She’s also my little sister and was truly a rock when we needed her most this year,” he added. Jennifer Graves is the Care Coordinator for the Minot area. Her duties include tailoring individual care plans for each client, and following up with frequent visits to make sure that the results are top notch. Jen was a new addition to the team in 2020, and “I’m so glad we have her on our team!” Kristina opined. “It just got so that I couldn’t be everywhere at once. We’re blessed to find somebody so brimming with compassion and enthusiasm. Jen truly represents the values we based our company on,” she added. The Larsons are grateful to all their employees, clients, and all the individuals and organizations they coordinate with during the course doing their jobs. They look forward to serving the community long into the future, and credit the relationships they are able to make and maintain as both the key to their success and its greatest reward.

Jerome’s voted
BEST COLLISION CENTER
12th year in a row!
Oh my! The excellence continues. Jerome’s Collision Center has once again been voted the No. 1 collision center in Minot. That’s 12 consecutive years!
A big reason why, says owner Jay Lundeen, is that Jerome’s has been able to maintain a consistent level of commitment to being a premier collision repair shop. The repair process and techniques have definitely evolved over the years. All of our technicians take continuing education classes and are certified. We are an I-Car Gold Certified Shop which meets the highest standards in our industry. Our office staff is highly professional, good listeners and always have the customer’s best interests in mind. Everyone at Jerome’s strives to win in both their personal and professional lives and I am proud of all of them. That attitude shows in our customer service as well. Our repeat business is awesome and we are always cognizant of every customer’s needs and expectations. Our goal is to go above and beyond! We are not perfect but one thing we will always do is take care of what we have to take care of. There is not much that comes in here that we can’t do. That is something I am very
person is a big deal.”
proud of! There isn’t a place like ours in the Midwest. We’ve had folks come in from other places and they can’t believe there’s a shop like this in North Dakota. It is unique not only for our community, but unique for our whole state. It’s because of the diversity of what we can do. Customers have come to trust Jerome’s for doing excellent repair work in a timely manner. With all the variables present in automotive repair, the answer not always an easy one. However, Jerome’s staff works to insure complete repairs in as timely a manner as possible. “In this world we live in where everybody is working and doing their thing, it’s very important that you are accurate when you say something is going to be done,” said Lundeen. “We’re not perfect, but we work on it and strive for it and conscious of it every day.” They provide a high level of service that is expected by customers trusting a prized possession, their automobile, to the care of experienced collision
center technicians. While quality work is a given at Jerome’s there’s much more that goes into earning a customer’s trust and the title of Best Collision Center in Minot. “It isn’t just fixing a car or truck. We humanize it in the respect that we’re working with the person driving that vehicle,” explained Lundeen. “We’re making that their situation, their life, their getting to work and the stress of it all isn’t as stressful as it could be. We make an effort to do that so they don’t have to think about it. I think that’s the biggest thing that separates us from others.” Vehicle accidents are often very emotional experiences. Drivers and passengers can be adversely effected beyond concerns about a damaged ride and getting it repaired. “They can be a little shook up, such as getting a fender bender while taking the kids to school,” said Lundeen. “The stress response to that is still there a couple of hours later. How you treat that
Customers are treated right at Jerome’s. Their staff of understanding professionals works closely with all customers, consistently earning the trust of those who place the care of their vehicle to a collision center. At Jerome’s the trust is earned every day. “We pay attention. It’s not just customer service. That’s a cliche, but really connecting with our customer on a personal level and understanding what they are going through. What we do and how we do it is all predicated on that, how we keep them informed and communicate with them when their vehicle leaves the shop.” It is that level of commitment to customers and quality that pushes Jerome’s to be the best collision center in the region. It is why Jerome’s Collision Center has once again been fittingly recognized by customers as number one in Minot. I would like to leave you with a couple of winter driving tips. Always make sure your windows are defrosted and when entering an intersection exercise caution…Or we may meet by accident!

The Boppre Law Firm, PLLC, Minot Daily News Readers’ Choice for the best area law firm, has grown with the community’s support. The Boppre Law Firm was founded in 2014 by Attorney Brian Boppre. Fresh from law school at the University of North Dakota, in six years, Boppre grew the practice from a single attorney and one staff member to a busy firm with four attorneys and four support staff (and even one office dog!) In addition to Boppre, Attorneys Morgan Glines, Anthony Cooper, and Laura Wheeles provide dedicated legal assistance to clients, supported by Paralegal Aimee Williamson, Office Manager Brayda Weber, Accounting Manager Darla Iverson, and Administrative Assistant Paige Hulberg. Despite the challenges this year has posed, the Boppre Law Firm has continued to offer high quality and friendly legal services to its clients. Like other businesses, the firm implemented various new procedures including meetings by telephone and Zoom and some individuals working from home, prioritizing the health and safety of its clients. One of the areas of practice in which the firm specializes is estate planning. Prior to the pandemic, Attorney Boppre offered engaging workshops with coffee and baked goods, aimed at assisting the elderly who are most in need of protective estate planning, and hosted fun and relaxed “Wills & Wine” events, appealing to younger couples and families. Once March rolled out, plans had to change. Attorney Boppre and his staff love interacting with the community and making estate planning accessible. With their face-to-face events no longer possible, the firm turned to other methods of engagement including question and answer presentations on Facebook live and increased social media outreach. Estate planning may have been on many people’s minds this year, but the firm’s other areas of practice stayed busy as well. The Boppre Law Firm assists clients in business law, elder law, oil and gas law, probate, Indian law, real estate, immigration, and family law, and serves as the City Attorney for Burlington. Whatever legal questions one might face, the Boppre Law Firm is there to assist. Because they prioritize community engagement, the firm is hopeful that 2021 will provide renewed opportunities for involvement. In the past, the attorneys and staff have joined Magic Day of Giving and participated in Minot Area Chamber of Commerce events. “Our firm makes a clear promise to the community: ‘Your Success, Your Legacy, and Our Commitment to You,’” explained Attorney Boppre. “We love the Minot area, and we want to see it and its people thrive—regardless of the challenges we all might face together. We are so honored that the Minot community selected us for a Readers Choice Award for the third time.”
