Annual conference focuses on employees as assets By Carol Kinsley A poster given to each participant in the Sussex County Today and Tomorrow Conference held Oct. 30 at Del Tech Community College in Georgetown features a spiral like a nautilus shell representing 20 years of conferences. Drawn by artist John Donato, the poster includes topics, ideas and issues discussed over the past two decades: Smart Growth, agriculture, manufacturing, entrepreneurship, tourism, connecting education and business, resources, hope (the verb), technology and more. The conference is a time and place to look at issues, share ideas and share a vision of what Sussex County can be. Gathering “smart people” in a comfortable environment, the conference has offered new perspectives and empowers others. One of the goals has been to “get the dialogue started and keep it moving.” This year’s conference was no different. The focus was on “People, Your Most Valuable Asset.” The topic was chosen after employers at last year’s conference commented that they could not find people to hire. Dr. Ileana Smith, Del Tech vice president and campus director, kept the meeting on pace to finish by noon with a gong after each break. There was so much networking going on, however, that it was difficult to get participants back in their seats. Dr. Orlando George Jr., college president, told the group there are more than a thousand business experts in Del Tech’s advisory community who have been looking at the curriculum to make sure graduates have the skills they need. “We’ve reached out to 11,000 employers with our STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) council,” he said. Representatives from the three hospitals in the county serve on the nursing and allied health advisory council. The nursing program was expanded in 2002 to respond to the nursing shortage and, with new labs making courses more readily available, a redesigned curriculum for an accelerated nursing program will start in January. Starting salaries for nurses, George noted, average $50,000. Del Tech is adding a power plant program to its aviation maintenance degree offering. Currently students can learn how

Alan B. Levin, secretary of Delaware Economic Development Office, left, spoke with State Senator Robert L. Venables and Steve Rose, CEO of Nanticoke Memorial Hospital. In his talk, Levin said Rose was one of the greatest success stories in what’s happened at Nanticoke, making it a full service hospital again. “The most successful way to build a community is health care. We couldn’t do it without Nanticoke,” Levin said. Photo by Carol Kinsley
to maintain the shell, or “airframe.” The new courses will enable them to work on the mechanics of an airplane. The Federal Aviation Administration is coming soon to do its official inspection and the program is on track to start in January. Graduates can earn $18 to $21 an hour to start. No school credit is given for “Java 101,” but the weekly, open-to-the-public meeting of entrepreneurs at 9 a.m. in the Student Services Building is creating a network of business-minded people. The meetings are part of the “1 Million Cups” program created to engage, educate and connect entrepreneurs. The Del Tech site is the 10th location in the nationwide program. At each meeting two entrepreneurs have six minutes to talk about their businesses, followed by a question and answer period 20 minutes long. Conference participants became part of the weekly Wednesday program as Mariah Calagione, vice president of Dogfish Head Brewery in Milton and Stu Eisenmen of eRevolution Ventures in Selbyville shared their stories and entertained questions. Delayed for more than an hour by a traffic accident, Secretary of Delaware Economic Development Office Alan B.
Levin, former CEO of Happy Harry’s drugstore chain, said he has watched the economy of Delaware change over 20 years. “Through it all, one thing that has gotten us through the worst of it is the spirit of the people of this state.” He mentioned the possible take-over of a former pickle plant in Millsboro by Allen Harim Foods. “I don’t recall the last time a company spent $100 million on an investment, but that’s what they intend to do. They haven’t asked the state for money.” He called the move “a great opportunity for a facility that had been active and has died.” Levin also spoke on tourism, which he said was up 20 percent in 2013. “Exit interviews” of tourists show they don’t like the traffic on Route 1. As a part-time resident of the beach area, Levin said he too hates the traffic, and would be attending a meeting the next day to address the problem. Laura McCann, director of team member relations at Burris Logistics in Milford, Del., was keynote speaker. In keeping with the conference theme, she addressed how to find talented employees and make them part of the team. “We can have the best equipment, technology and buildings, but if we don’t have the right people, focusing on what we
can do as a business to grow, we’re dead in the water,” she said. McCann doesn’t look for employees who merely follow instructions and don’t ask how they can do a job better. She wants to tap into that unused brain power. There are many factors to consider when hiring, some of which weren’t even thought about 10 years ago. Customer demands are changing. “Customers want it faster, quicker, right away, overnight, no matter what the industry,” she said. With half of Sussex County residents over the age of 50, McCann wonders what effect that has on the workforce. “What happens in 10 years when those folks start to retire? We are facing a huge knowledge gap. We need to make sure that talent gets transferred. We need (the older generation) to work with the younger.” She added there are young people coming into the workforce who are unfamiliar with typewriters and computer punch cards, who may have never seen a library card catalog.“A computer used to take up a whole room. Now a smart phone can do 90 percent of what you can do on a desktop. It’s a challenge how to keep up on that technology,” she said.
Ressler accidentally stumbled into a career at WaWa 33 years ago when she was looking for part-time work. The privately held, employeeowned company requires a high school diploma, the ability to lead and a willingness to grow. Turnover is low among the 21,000 employees working for 600 stores in six states. Unlike many companies where the customer comes first, Atlantic Aluminum puts the employee first, Schlabach said. “AAP demonstrates the belief that, when employees are the first priority, they produce a superior product and excellence in workmanship as well as integrity in service for valued customers,” he explained. The family-oriented business based in Greenwood has 50 employees. Atlantic Aluminum creates an atmosphere where employees are encouraged to make their own decisions, according to eight established principles. Employees are offered a bonus when a referral is hired. Office staff and sales representatives are the easiest jobs to fill; and manufacturing jobs are not difficult, but finding qualified installers willing to travel is harder, Schlabach said.
McCann said she needs people who know how to solve problems, who will make suggestions on how to make things more efficient, who are able to mange projects. “We need employees who know how to learn... who will bring new ideas... who go beyond the job requirements.” McCann encouraged employers to develop behavioral-based interview questions and to include peers in the interview process. Have coworkers make the final decision on a new hire, then the new employee will bond with the team. “Make it an audition,” she said. A panel discussion followed on “the world of hiring and development.” Participants were Cindy Dunson of Dogfish Head, Cathy Ressler of WaWa and Dan Schlabach of Atlantic Aluminum Products. Dunson said Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales in Milton brews “off-center spirits for off-center people” and looks for “off-centered talent.” She continued, “We are hard-working, safety-minded, fun-loving.” She described employees as those who pull on their “big boy pants but have a frog in their pocket.” Further, “we want people who are very participatory.” Dogfish looks for experienced workers. “We have no time for a learning curve,” Dunson said.

KSI receives Merck Grant
Local business, Service Today, Inc., has received “Top Sales Volume Award for 2013” from Lyon Conklin & Co. Inc. “We are very delighted by the growth we have had in 2013, we value our customers and as an employee owned company we will continuously strive to deliver superior service and value,” said Marketing Associate Debbi Brunner. Service Today is the largest employeeowned heating, air conditioning, plumbing and electrical home services company in the tri-state area of Maryland, Delaware and southeast Pennsylvania. If getting fit is the trendy thing to do, downtown Milton is the place to be. Milton Wellness Center of Delaware became the second of two fitness-centered businesses to celebrate a grand opening on the city’s Union Street in November. Both Milton Wellness Center and 302 Fitness, its neighbor at 113 Union St., are part of Project Pop-Up 2013, which provides three months of rent-free retail space and one-on-one assistance from a business advisor to entrepreneurs during the holiday season. This year, five total businesses in Milford, Milton, Smyrna and Dover are taking part in the program. The goal of Project Pop-Up is to encourage entrepreneurs to take the next step by moving their business into a brickand-mortar location. Project Pop-Up is a joint effort of the Delaware Economic Development Office and local stakeholders in these towns. The goal of the program is to fill vacant properties in Delaware’s downtowns during the holiday season. The First State’s program also encourages small business owners to sign long-term leases. The other four Project Pop-Up 2013 businesses are: Milford Massage, Wellness and Yoga, 127 NW Front St., Milford; 302 Fitness, 113 Union St., Unit A, Milton; Royal Treatments, 14 S. Main St., Smyrna; Computers Fixed Today, 131 W. Loockerman St., Dover. Last year’s inaugural Project Pop-Up helped two business owners sign leases beyond the three months of free rent. This year, all selectees have signed leases that will allow them to make a smooth transition to paid occupancy beginning Jan. 1, 2014.

USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) reminds farmers and ranchers who participate in FSA programs to plan accordingly in FY2014 for automatic spending reductions known as sequestration. The Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA) mandates that federal agencies implement automatic, annual reductions to discretionary and mandatory spending limits. For mandatory programs, the sequestration rate for FY2014 is 7.2%. For information about FSA programs, visit your county USDA Service Center or go to www.fsa.usda.gov/. Kent-Sussex Industries, Inc. (KSI) has received a $5,000 grant from the Merck Foundation, funds which will assist with the renovations of KSI’s Health & Wellness Center. KSI CEO, B. Craig Crouch said, “Renovation of our current facility is crucial in order to better enable our staff to accommodate the needs of the people we serve. We have some individuals who require a higher level of assistance. By upgrading our facilities we will be able to provide a higher quality service and keep our staff safe while doing so.” KSI is a not for profit agency, providing vocational training and employment services to individuals with disabilities throughout Kent and Sussex Counties.

SBA drops loan fees to zero
The Small Business Administration has set loan fees to zero for SBA-supported loans under $150,000. “At SBA we’re always looking for ways we can better serve our customers— small business owners and entrepreneurs looking to start or grow their business,” SBA Administrator Jeanne Hulit said. Effective Oct. 1, 2013, setting fees at zero will make these loans cheaper for borrowers, encouraging lending to small businesses that face the most constraints on credit access. Cheaper loans create lending increased opportunities. “This is good for businesses and the neighborhoods and communities in which they’re located,” remarked SBA MidAtlantic Regional Administrator Natalia Olson-Urtecho. “Lower-dollar loans often help finance new startups and entrepreneurs in underserved communities, which can include women, minorities, veterans and others.” This initiative is the latest in the SBA’s efforts to reach more business owners and entrepreneurs with the ideas, vision, and passion necessary to tackle the next challenge in their businesses. More information about the 7(a) loan program and other Small Business Administration programs is available at www.sba.gov.

Over the course of a decade, the State of Delaware has watched Incyte Corporation grow from a start-up bio-technology research firm into a research-based commercial biopharmaceutical company. Incyte has reinforced its commitment to Delaware by signing a 15-year lease to occupy the former John Wanamaker building, a Wilmington landmark off the Augustine Cut-Off. Incyte’s lease of the roughly 191,000-square-foot facility will keep its current employment base in Delaware and provide space for the company’s planned ongoing employment growth. Incyte currently employs 372 people at the DuPont Experimental Station campus off Del. 141.
Kent County Tourism recently donated $5,000 to the Dover YMCA, in addition to contributions to other community organizations, from proceeds earned during the annual Amish Country Bike Tour. Contributions were also made to a number of community organizations that assisted with this year’s event, which drew 2,400 cyclists from 25 states and the U.K., making it the largest cycling event in the State of Delaware. The 2014 Amish Country Bike Tour will be held on Saturday, Sept. 6, 2014. For more information, visit www.AmishCountryBikeTour.com.

GUEST COLUMN
Receiving assistance presents challenges By Jackie Gast Brittany has a college degree in communications and conflict analysis and dispute resolution and really wants to work. As employers, finding this type of person is half the battle – the other half is having job candidates be able to pass a drug test. Seriously, Brittany can and wants to work and Brittany does not have a problem passing a drug test. As a matter of fact, she has had a part-time job on the mid-shore for a year, has excellent attendance and her employer tells me how much they value her at work. However, Brittany would like to utilize her college degree and is looking for full-time work. Brittany also receives a Social Security check each month because she qualifies as a person with a disability which then qualifies her to receive Social Security Insurance (SSI) benefits. The amount of her check is reduced due to her work wages according to a government formula. Soon after Brittany began work, she had inquired about reporting her wages to the Social Security Administration (SSA) but wasn’t sure how to go about it and was not having luck in getting in touch with the right people at SSA. So when Brittany received a W-2 in January, SSA was informed and sent Brittany a letter saying she would have to return over $2,500. Brittany quickly learned the proper procedure for reporting wages and agreed to SSA’s plan of returning the money through an automatic monthly deduction taken directly from future monthly SSI
checks. Okay, Brittany continues to work and all is now good. Not. Brittany is paid by her employer every other week. May 2013 had three pay periods. This gets interesting. According to the SSA computer, Brittany made too much income in May and therefore, did not issue her an SSI check which meant the automatic payback amount was not deducted. SSA sent Brittany an automatic letter saying she was in default and would have to pay the entire amount back immediately. This after all the stress of just having figured out how to report and set up a payment schedule. Okay, after multiple phone calls by me (we have a contract with SSA to assist people like Brittany who want to become independent from government assistance) and by Brittany and by her mother, SSA tells us this is an automatic letter SSA sends and to disregard it. I asked, “That would happen two or three times/year. Doesn’t that cause people to panic?” SSA’s response was, “yes.” Hmmm. This finally got straightened out - so we thought. Stay tuned next month to hear what was in the next SSA letter to Brittany. And you wonder why people on public assistance may choose not to work if they have to worry unnecessarily and about losing their benefits so quickly that they fought so hard to get? For more information about disability employment, visit www.esbln.org or contact Jackie Gast at 443-783-5787 or jackie@esbln.org.

Chesapeake Utilities supports new Boys & Girls Club Chesapeake Utilities Corporation will donate $50,000 over the next five years to support the construction of the Greater Dover Boys & Girls Club’s new facility on New Burton Road in Dover. The new 75,000 square-foot multiuse facility being built in partnership with Kent County will include a 1,500 sq. ft. learning center with a computer lab, teen room, classrooms and several multi-purpose program rooms. 30,000 sq. ft. of the new facility will be dedicated to Boys & Girls Club programs. The shared facility will also have a field house with four multi-purpose areas, two full-size basketball courts, an outdoor recreational area, and much, much more for club members to access. A recent demographic study and needs assessment conducted in partnership with the Greater Dover Committee indicated that the youth population in the Greater Dover community was greatly underserved with limited facility-based programs for youth. The Capitol and Caesar Rodney School Districts serve more than 15,000 children. Since its inception in 1991, more than 9,000 Dover youth have benefited from the Greater Dover Boys & Girls Club. Currently with three Club operations in the Greater Dover area, these Clubs serve more than 125 children daily. In addition, there are seven school sites for before and after school care in the Caesar Rodney School District. The new facility will enable the Club to increase the number of youth served daily to 300 children and increase membership from 1,000 to 3,000 annually. The Greater Dover Club launched a community-wide Capital Campaign with the goal of raising $2,000,000, to include a building fund for capital replacement and ongoing maintenance costs. In addition, The Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware will be providing an additional $3,375,000 towards the construction cost of the project.

Developer is honored by Perdue School of Business International business leader and philanthropist Richard Branson once said, “I don’t think of work as work and play as play. It’s all living.” The quote is a favorite of local real estate developer Jack Burbage, who uses it as a guiding philosophy. For more than four decades, Burbage and his family have helped transform the skyline of the Delmarva Peninsula. Salisbury University’s Franklin P. Perdue School of Business recently honored Burbage for his years of vision and community giving, presenting him with the 2013 Perdue Leadership Award. Raised in Berlin, Md., Burbage grew up working in his father’s clothing store. After graduating from Stephen Decatur High School, attending William and Mary College and graduating Cum Laude from Wesley College, he expanded the shop to include 12 stores throughout the region. In 1982, he began investing in real estate in Bethany Beach. More than 30 years later, he continues to be a construction leader there, preparing to build a new Marriott Residence Inn on Bethany’s boardwalk. His success, however is not limited to just one town. As the CEO of Blue Water Development Co. and Burbage Properties, he purchased a large waterfront campground in Ocean City, Md., and, with his sons John III and Todd, transformed it into the five-star Castaways resort campground. In 1993, with his sister, Barbara, and business partner Ray Nichols, he purchased the Community of Mystic Harbour. This transaction served as a springboard to several subdivisions in West Ocean City, Md., including Deer Pointe, Whispering Woods and Ocean Reef. Most recently, he completed construction of a new Marriott Fairfield Hotel in Chincoteague, Va.

Bethany Beach developer Jack Burbage is the recipient of the 2013 Perdue Leadership Award, presented by Salisbury University’s Franklin P. Perdue School of Business. Above, university president Janet Dudley-Eshbach presents Burbage with his award.
Eleven years ago, he established the Jack Burbage Foundation with the goal of bettering local communities through scholarships and grants. He has served on Atlantic General Hospital’s board of trustees for six years, chairing it since 2011. He also sits on the board of Diakonia, a homeless shelter in West Ocean City, and has been a member of the Taylor
Bank Board of Directors for the past 26 years. Burbage lives in West Ocean City with his longtime companion, Virginia Pappas. They have four grandchildren. The name of each year’s Perdue Leadership Award winner is engraved on a plaque in the Perdue School. Each honoree also receives a commemorative award.
Delaware 2-1-1 begins diaper distribution As a result of Delaware 2-1-1 staff members noticing an increase in calls from parents in need of diapers for their children, the help hotline (led locally by United Way of Delaware) launched a statewide diaper drive during the month of October to replenish the supply of diapers to agencies across the state that provides diapers to families in need. On Nov. 5, Delaware 2-1-1 and United Way of Delaware was honored to begin the distribution of more than 40,000 diapers to agencies statewide as a direct result to the overwhelming response of its first diaper drive. Corporate partners such as Proctor & Gamble Dover Wipes Company, University of Delaware, Nemours, Easter Seals, YMCA, Normanco, the staff of Delaware 2-1-1 and United Way of Delaware, as well as donations from the community jumped at the opportunity to help with this initiative causing diapers to pour in from throughout the state over the past month. P&G Dover Wipes Company was an initial pacesetter of this drive committing to provide two palettes of diapers in the beginning of October and arrived last Tuesday with a truck load of more than 35,000 diapers to be distributed specifically to agencies in the Kent and Sussex counties of the state. Thanks to the joint efforts of the community the following agencies will receive thousands of diapers to directly help the families in our community: Adopt-A-Family and Love In the Name of Christ (Love, Inc.) in New Castle County; The Pregnancy Help Center, Mom’s House, Inc. and Delaware Adolescent Program, Inc. (DAPI) in Kent County; and Kent/Sussex Adopt-A-Family and Sussex Pregnancy Center in Sussex County. Delaware 2-1-1, the information and referral help hotline for the state of Delaware, strives to provide the Delaware community with access to health and human services to meet their everyday needs. Due to the success of its first diaper drive, it can now ensure successful referrals to diaper closets when receiving calls from parents in need. “On average a baby uses ten diapers a day which is about 300 per month, so raising more than 40-thousand diapers could potentially help about 133 families with a fairly unlimited supply of diapers for their babies in a month,“ said Michelle Taylor, president and chief executive officer of United Way of Delaware. “This could not happen without the generous support of the community overall and we’re grateful for every pack of pampers that any individual actually contributed.”

COVER STORY
SecureNetMD helps healthcare industry with IT needs By Carol Kinsley
Healthcare today is far too complicated and overwhelming to stay up-to-date on everything. With changing HIPAA regulations and trying to accomplish “Meaningful Use” stages with increased use of electronic medical records (EMR), you want to be confident that the Information Technology (IT) company you partner with will be as up-to-date and proactive as possible. You can place your confidence in SecureNetMD™, asserted Jack Berberian and Drew Laroche, partners in the firm which has been serving physicians and health care facilities of all sizes for the past five years. “We’ve never lost a client since we launched the company,” Berberian said. SecureNetMD is a HIPAA-compliant organization available to help the healthcare industry with all things IT, 24/7/365. From existing medical practices, hospitals, sleep centers and laboratories to new construction for medical facilities, SecureNetMD has the expertise to get you up and running. SecureNetMD™ employs trained professionals to complete projects large and small. From designing cabling and network infrastructure for new medical facilities to implementing HIPAA compliant email solutions, EMR/ EHR (electronic health records) training and support (via a SecureNetMD™ designed on line interactive program), network engineering and security, SecureNetMD has you covered. “SecureNetMD focuses 100 percent on the medical industry for many reasons, mostly because healthcare is far too important and complicated to do otherwise,” Berberian said. “Healthcare professionals need a company that has studied and understands the business, the

software, the compliance and the sensitivity of materials specific to healthcare IT.” Berberian added, “We are able to

and that your IT infrastructure is being handled properly. Not only are we experts in evaluating new technology, we can ensure that the solution we implement for you today is not out of date tomorrow. “Our exclusive focus gives us a unique perspective. To a less specialized eye, one solution may seem like a clear choice, whereas we tend to probe beneath a generic quick fix, ensuring that a solution is comprehensive, cost-effective and long lasting. “We offer what most companies are not able to,” he continued. “We are able to take our experience in larger hospitals and organizations and apply it to smaller and midsize medical practices to help with efficiency, operations and overall delivery of a better experience for their patients and staff.” The company’s HIPAA Compliant Voice over IP Phone systems and service can not only help increase the productivity of your office, but can also reduce your monthly phone expenses. On-call and after-hours answering solutions are also available. Friends for nine years, Berberian and Laroche are well qualified to offer their services. Berberian’s background, talent and training evidence an entrepreneurial propensity coupled with the vision to identify opportunities to establish and grow long term organizations. His acumen and foresight have allowed him to stay ahead of the curve in recognizing the business opportunities offered by advances in technology. In 2009, the duo founded SecureNetMD in the basement of a physician’s home. SecureNetMD clients include the largest hospitals in Delaware and many physicians and medical groups across the state. Experience ranges from EMR Integration/support, network engineering, staff augmentation, providing workflow process improvement, wireless site surveys, cabling, VOIP phone ser-

GUEST COLUMN
The number one rule when hiring: do not settle By Suzanne Kountourzis “People are not your most important asset,” says management consultant Jim Collins, the author of Good to Great. “The right people are.” With those words, Collins lays down a challenge to everyone who is trying to build or strengthen a business. We know we need people to make our business hum smoothly, but how do we find the right ones? It’s a question that merits attention, especially for small and mid-sized companies that don’t have a long bench full of candidates ready to step in. That’s why business owners tend to make their worst hiring decisions when they can least afford to do so. For example, if a couple of key employees leave at the same time, there’s a tendency to try to fill those positions as quickly as possible, before the rest of the team feels overloaded. Similarly, if a store manager quits just before Black Friday, or an accountant at the start of tax season, the pressure is on to hire ASAP, if not sooner. When hiring becomes a rush job, the mistakes pile up quickly. We often start the process with an outdated job description, often prepared by the employee who just walked out the door, and we conclude it by selecting the best available candidate when we should continue looking for someone who has all the skills and qualities we want. There is a better way. Consider following these steps recommended by hiring experts. • Define job requirements carefully. • Look for repeated patterns of success in the backgrounds of your candidates. • Look beyond the resume and consider the networks your candidates have built. • Use your own professional network (or a recruiting service) to search for prospects who might not be actively seeking a new job. • Use phone interviews to identify your strongest prospects. • Ask all candidates the same questions so you are “comparing apples with apples.” • Be sure you have the right candidate before making a hiring offer. Let’s take a look at each one. When you define job requirements,
20
Business Report | December 2013
you are defining the entire job search. Include not only the skills required to perform the job successfully, but also the essential character traits. If you want an independent thinker rather than a hierarchical leader or a strong collaborator, be sure to include that in your description. Likewise, determine whether your preferred candidate will be a cubicle dweller or one who frequently interacts with clients and the general public. In addition, look beyond your immediate needs. Set some benchmarks for what you would like to accomplish in one month, three months and six months, and identify skills and characteristics the candidate will need in order to advance to a better position in a year or two. To identify repeated patterns of success, look not only at on-the-job accomplishments listed on a resume but also for evidence of leadership in professional and community organizations, or as part of teams and clubs in college. The rapid growth of online networking tools like LinkedIn and social media like Facebook provide an opportunity to look beyond the resume to assess networks and relationships your candidates have developed and whether such connections would make a candidate more valuable to your organization. Facebook posts, while typically covering topics that are not job-related, can provide helpful insights into a candidate’s personal character and special interests. Although the unemployment rate is currently in excess of 7 percent, that doesn’t necessarily mean you will have an easy time filling your position. While your job posting may attract the attention of hundreds of applicants, they will not necessarily have the credentials you are seeking. It is quite likely that the highly qualified candidate you are seeking is already employed, and may not be interested in leaving a secure position to join another company. Often the best way to identify such prospective candidates is to ask your network of friends and fellow business leaders whether they know anyone who might be a good fit for your organization. In a small state like Delaware, where everyone seems to know everyone else, it can be difficult to reach out to prospects who are already employed without attracting undue attention. If that’s where you would like to go, your best option might be to enlist the services of
an executive recruiter. After sorting through the resumes (don’t be surprised if you receive dozens, even hundreds, and only a few candidates meet your basic qualifications), someone in your human resources department should use telephone interviews to narrow your list of prospects. On the phone, you can give the candidates a better idea of what the job entails, gauge their enthusiasm for the position and get a better feel for their character. Think of this conversation as an ice-breaker, an opportunity for your HR specialist to assess which candidates will fit best within your organization so they can be invited for an in-person interview. During the in-person interviews, schedule your candidates to meet with several key members of your team. Immediate supervisors should be conducting interviews. So should the manager one level up. If you’re the CEO, you might want to make it your practice to spend some time with each candidate. Although you will have several interviewers, each one should ask the same questions. Each interviewer’s wording might be a little different, and the follow-up questions may take differing paths, but the keys here are for each interviewer to evaluate each candidate against the same benchmarks, and, when the interviewers meet for their final analysis, to see whether the candidates provided consistent responses in each interview. One other thing: always make sure you have checked your candidates’ references and credentials. Go to the source to verify dates of employment, college degrees and other professional credentials. When you are ready to make your final decision, heed this final warning: do not settle. You must be confident that your top choice will achieve the goals you have established and have the potential to advance in your organization. If you conclude that your best candidate still isn’t good enough, it’s better to keep looking. After all, if you make a mistake, the process of undoing your error can become quite messy. Suzanne Kountourzis is Director of Human Resources for Horty & Horty, P.A., a public accounting firm with offices in Dover and Wilmington.

How to recycle electronics By Carol Kinsley
There are all sorts of electronic gadgets, toys and equipment available for Christmas gifts or business investment, some of which are advertised in this issue of the Morning Star Business Report. New electronics are wonderful, but what do you do with the attic full of old stuff? Hopefully, you won’t dump it on the side of the road, which seems to be a prevalent disposal method in rural areas. Why not do your part for the environment and recycle? As a nation, we generate a lot of electronic trash. More than 70 million computers were purchased in the United States in 2010 and more than 50 million computers disposed of — 40 percent of them recycled. Some 235 million cell phones were purchased that year and more than half that many disposed of, 135 million dumped in the trash. About 5 million of the 28 million unwanted televisions were recycled in 2010. Did you know cell phones contain gold, silver, palladium and copper? Or that you can recover more gold from a ton of computers than from 17 tons of gold ore? You can get cash for some used electronics. A quick Internet search reveals several sites that claim to pay well for that equipment you no longer need. With a warning that the following have not been checked out by the publishers, here’s a list of three sites you might visit: • www.buymytronics.com buys electronics such as cell phones, iPods, digital cameras, game consoles, tablets, Apple products, camera lenses, camcorders and more. • cashforelectronicscrapusa.com buys electronic scrap, hard drives, circuit boards, processors and so forth but not VCRs, monitors, computers, digital
22
Business Report | December 2013
cameras, laptops, camcorders or PCUs. • www.topcashforescrap.com will pay for electronic parts such as motherboards, hard drives, processors, semiconductors, circuit boards, cell phones and more. “Gently used” cell phones can have a second life providing cost-free communication to active-duty military members or assist veterans transitioning into post-combat life. Visit www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com for details on recycling a single phone or launching a drive to collect many more. Another way to recycle for a good cause is to purchase your black toner cartridges from Kent-Sussex Industries Inc. in Milford. KSI is a private, notfor-profit vocational rehabilitation organization which assists people with disabilities in the pursuit of their potential in employment and meaningful participation in their communities. KSI participants remanufacture the cartridges with new components and sell them at 30 to 50 percent off the manufacturer’s original price. The crew is paid an hourly wage. “We sell more than 10,000 cartridges a year,” said Cal Jones, KSI cartridge service operations manager. Remanufactured cartridges may have gotten a bum rap, he continued, because there are lots of suppliers, not all of them reliable. “You could get cartridges from China cheaper,” he said. “But we guarantee ours. We’re a local supplier, valued and trusted.” Delivery is free within Delaware. Buy a cartridge; turn in your old one. If there’s ever a problem, the cartridge will be replaced. Jones said, “99 percent of them work. And the standard defect rate for OEMs is 3 percent.” The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control gave KSI a grant of $20,000 to increase recycling of their waste products. “We’re
recycling 54 percent now,” Jones said. “We’re proud to be ahead of our goal. It’s important to us to be able to manage waste responsibly.” Cartridges that cannot be refilled are recycled through a third-party service. To contact KSI, call Barb Thibodeau at 302-422-4014 extension 3126. At least two vendors of electronics — Best Buy and Staples — offer free recycling programs. Staples will give you $2 back in Staples Rewards for empty ink and toner cartridges and also accepts computers, laptops, monitors, printers, scanners, fax machines, shredders, peripherals, mobile phones and other small electronics of most any brand. Staples does not take televisions, appliances, large servers or printers, stereo/home AV equipment, alkaline batteries or light bulbs. See www.staples.com/sbd/cre/marketing/ easy-on-the-planet/recycling-and-ecoservices.html for details. Best Buy has recycling kiosks just inside the door of all its stores in the United States for ink and toner cartridges, rechargeable batteries, wires, cords and cables. The customer service counter will accept most electronics, and will remove an appliance or TV free when a new one is delivered. For more information, visit www.BestBuy.com/recycle. Another vendor, Dell, has partnered with Goodwill in a computer recycling program called Dell Reconnect. Visit dellreconnect.com for locations, acceptable items and details on a free mailback service. Just want to get rid of the thing with no hassle, no questions, no store? Delaware Solid Waste Authority’s Electronic Goods Recycling program allows residents to drop off unwanted items for free at sites throughout the state. For more information, visit www. dswa.com/programs_electronic.asp or call 800-404-7080.
Translation agency has a new name After 10 years of providing Spanish-language translations to state and national clients, Delaware’s home-grown translation agency has a new name, Hook Translations. Founded in 2003 as the BilCom Group by Patricia V. Rivera, a bilingual marketing communications professional, the Lewes-based business has provided English-to-Spanish translation services to clients ranging from Perdue Farms, the Nemours Foundation, Beebe Medical Center and Delaware Technical Community College in Delaware to AAA of Arizona, the Texas Hispanic HealthCare Initiative and the Amputee Coalition of America. “Our new name clearly describes our mission — to engage Hispanic readers with lively and accurate translations that prompt them to take notice and take action,” says Rivera, Hook Translations owner-manager. Hook also creates original content in Spanish for print publications, websites, e-newsletters and social media sites. All of Hook’s translators have university degrees in translation science and at least five years of industry experience. Rivera has seen numerous examples of critical branding errors resulting from poor translations. Recently, an airline that touted its comfortable seats by encouraging passengers to “fly in leather” used the literal Spanish translation of that phrase, “vuela en cuero,” which colloquially means “fly naked.” Skilled, sensitive translators avoid these mistakes, Rivera said. “For businesses aiming to increase their market share, the Hispanic population represents a rapidly growing demographic that has become too big to ignore,” Rivera said. “Creating brochures, advertisements and social media campaigns in Spanish is a proven way for businesses to broaden their customer base.” Companies that hire significant numbers of Spanish-speaking workers can make these employees feel more comfortable in their workplace by using a translation service for personnel manuals and forms, training materials, newsletters and other important communications, Rivera said. Hook Translations serves businesses throughout Delaware that desire to improve communications with current and prospective Spanishspeaking clients and employees, especially nonprofits, healthcare facilities and companies that have significant Hispanic employee and customer bases. The company also coordinates translations in other languages, including Haitian Creole, Burmese, Arabic and Korean. For more information, visit www.hooktranslations.com or call 302-539-3763.
Advance with Affordable Business Systems
Since 1996 Affordable Business Systems has been helping Delmarva businesses succeed. We love knowing that by helping businesses control operating costs and improve office productivity we are playing a small part in helping them win in the marketplace. We find that many of our business owners are not fully aware of the productivity enhancing features that some of today’s multifunctional copiers offer. Many businesses designate a key operator who handles things like adding toner and placing service calls for equipment. One feature many businesses are not aware of is the ability of the copier to email the key operator if it has a problem for example, error code, out of toner or out of paper. Another productivity-enhancing feature is the ability to scan hard copy doc-
uments in and have them converted to MS Word files that can be edited. This can often save hours of re-typing. We are now living in what office experts are referring to as the BYOD age. BYOD stands for “bring your own device” where many office workers are bringing their own laptops, iPads and smartphones to work. We have expertise in helping you leverage those devices by showing you how they can work with your copiers and printers. As you can see, office technology is constantly changing and we can help explain how those changes can have a positive impact on your business’s bottom line.

Kent-Sussex Industries, Inc. (KSI), located in Milford, has converted six of its transportation vans to propane as an alternative fuel. KSI will save over $1.50 per gallon and propane AutoGas is a clean burning environmentally friendly alternative fuel. By reducing KSI’s vehicle fuel cost, KSI, whose mission is to assist people with disabilities in the pursuit of their potential in employment and meaningful participation in their communities, will be able to continue providing transportation, assessment, training, and employment services to approximately 290 individuals annually. Sharp Energy recently installed an onsite refueling station featuring an Alliance AutoGas dispenser at the facility of KSI to fuel the vehicles used by the drivers.

Fit for Life
Move it or you might lose it By Jonathan Souder, MS
As a certified fitness trainer for over 15 years, I’ve met many interesting people. However, all of these people have one thing in common: The need for movement. Because of technological advances, our culture now has Souder many comforts. But are these comforts helping us or hurting us? Do we find ourselves sitting and immobile more than moving? My first job at age 14 was working on a farm with dairy cows, chickens and field plantings like corn, soybeans, alfalfa, and wheat. I worked hard at that job putting my body through many various movements. Climbing, running, walking, lunging, squatting, reaching, pulling, pushing, twisting, rotating — you name it, I had to do it. And I didn’t have a trainer telling me what to do. The work demanded it. The work drove me into those movements. My body stayed strong and flexible. As I got older and went to college, I had more sitting in my day than movement. I lost some of that strength. Then I got married and got comfortable and not only did I lose the strength, I started adding the fat. My ideal body weight was a memory of the past, until I really applied my fitness training to myself. Even as a trainer helping other people, it was easy for me to tell somebody the right things to do but not apply the knowledge to myself. It’s kind of like the doctor, nurse or other healthcare professional not modeling healthy living for their patient. Even healthcare professionals get too comfortable in their positions and forget their own health.

Business Report | December 2013
So ask yourself, “Am I moving enough in my day or am I sitting too much?” If your answer is the latter, then it’s time to stand up and make a commitment to move. There are many ways to get moving. This is what I do every day at work and at home. It’s very simple yet effective. • Move around: Get up and move around at least every hour. This will help promote circulation and get the blood flowing to the muscles that need it most. • Drink plenty of water: Water is an important component of just about every function that takes place within your body. It helps your body eliminate toxins and waste products; it helps to maintain proper muscle tone; it cushions joints; and it helps transport nutrients and oxygen throughout the body. • Perform deep breathing: Many people unconsciously hold their breath, which causes tension in our muscles. To avoid this, remember to breathe slowly and deeply throughout the day. This helps to relax our muscles, promotes blood flow and increases the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to our muscles. • Maintain a good posture: At all times be alert to your posture and correct it. Sit up straight and tall. Don’t slouch. Get your chest out and shoulders back and don’t let your chin drop to your chest. Search out ideas for yourself and find something that is fun for you. Make a commitment to better health. Remember, a body at rest stays at rest and a body in motion stays in motion. Here’s to your good health.

SBA works to help veterans get small business loans The U.S Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced new measures to help get small business loans into the hands of veterans by setting the borrower up-front fee to zero for all veteran loans authorized under the SBA Express program up to $350,000. This initiative will start on Jan. 1, 2014, and continue through the end of the fiscal year. “Our nation’s veterans are highly-skilled and highly-trained leaders in their communities,” said Acting SBA Administrator Jeanne Hulit. “This initiative will set fees to zero for SBA Express loans to veterans up to $350,000, and is part of SBA’s broader efforts to make sure that veterans have the tools they need to start and grow a business. As we honor our veterans and thank them for their service and sacrifice, let’s continue to identify ways to support them when they come home.” Of all SBA loans that go to veterans, 73 percent are $350,000 and below. The SBA Express Loan Program, which supports loans under $350,000, is SBA’s most popular loan delivery method, with nearly 60 percent of all 7(a) loans over the past decade being authorized through the program. Since the program’s inception, it has also been one of the most popular delivery methods for getting capital into the hands of veteran borrowers. Building on SBA’s recent announcement that for the current fiscal year, fees on loans for $150,000 and under are set to zero, this policy announcement means that veteran borrowers will no longer have to pay an upfront fee for any loan up to $350,000 under the SBA Express program. This new initiative goes into effect January 1 and extends for the duration of the fiscal year. SBA provides veterans access to business counseling and training, capital and business development opportunities through government contracts. In FY 2013, SBA supported $1.86 billion in loans for 3,094 veteran-owned small businesses. And since 2009, the dollar amount of SBA lending support to veteran-owned firms has nearly doubled. For more information about these and other SBA programs, visit the SBA website at www.sba.gov, or contact your local SBA field office. You can find contact information for your local SBA office at http:// www.sba.gov/localresources/index.html.

Tournament raises funds for Bayhealth
The Bayhealth Foundation’s 28th Annual Charitable Golf Tournament, co-sponsored by DoverMotorsports Incorporated, raised more than $53,000 to support Bayhealth. The estimated amount raised by the day of the event was $42,700. However, due to the generosity of those playing in the tournament the final net income raised was $53,000. The tournament, which was held on Sept. 26 at Maple Dale Country Club in Dover, coincides with the fall NASCAR
race weekend. All proceeds generated at the tournament Bayhealth, and since its inception the tournament has raised more than $1,000,000 to benefit patient care at Bayhealth. Bayhealth’s relationship with Dover Motorsports Incorporated crosses over onto the race track as well. On race weekends, Bayhealth provides health care services to the NASCAR community by staffing care centers at Dover International Speedway.

Beebe Medical now Beebe Healthcare
Beebe Medical Center has changed its named to Beebe Healthcare, Jeffrey M. Fried, FACHE, president and CEO, announced Tuesday, Oct. 29, during the opening festivities of the new Beebe outpatient services in Georgetown. “Our new name is more descriptive of the healthcare services that we provide throughout Sussex County, while remaining true to the Beebe heritage that we treasure,” Fried said. “Beebe has been more than a standalone, acute-care hospital for many years.” In focus groups that took place in 2012, participants made clear that the term “medical center” did not describe the scope of services and geographic locations that Beebe provides. The decision was made to update the name. The opening of Beebe Healthcare’s new outpatient services in the College Park Medical Pavilion in Georgetown is an example of Beebe’s effort to make healthcare more accessible to people in Georgetown and in the surrounding rural areas. The building is conveniently located in College Park, a new, mixed-use development at the intersection of Rt. 404 and Rt. 113 and across the street from Delaware Technical Community College. The development already houses La Red Health Services. For more information, visit www. beebehealthcare.org.
New nursing program Beebe Healthcare and the University of Delaware are partnering in a new program designed to provide an educational pathway for nursing students in Sussex County. Under the new program, beginning in fall 2014, students will enter the University of Delaware Associate in Arts Program in Georgetown, where they will be on an advisement track that will prepare them to enter the Registered Nurse nursing program at Beebe Healthcare’s Margaret H. Collins School of Nursing in Lewes. After completing the Beebe RN program in two years, students will then be able to return to UD for completion of a BSN degree and then possibly continue on for an MSN degree.

Nanticoke Health Services honored five people at its annual Tributes Dinner. Front, from left: Dr. Judith Tobin, widow of the late Dr. Richard Tobin, and Lois Hartstein. Back: Nanticoke CEO Steve Rose, Dr. Mark Granada, Dale Dukes and Jim Hartstein.
Nanticoke Health’s Tribute dinner By Lynn R. Parks Dr. Mark Granada was the first pulmonologist to come to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital. He has been practicing in Seaford for 35 years and in November he was inducted into Nanticoke’s Physician Hall of Fame. “I was shocked and surprised to learn that I was going to get this,” Granada told the audience at the annual Nanticoke Tributes Dinner, held Thursday, Nov. 7, at Heritage Shores in Bridgeville. “I should be the one who is giving a medal of appreciation to Nanticoke, because I feel that I owe the hospital more than what I’ve given it.” Tom Brown, senior vice president of Nanticoke Health Services, president of the Nanticoke Physician Network and master of ceremonies for the Tributes Dinner, disagreed. “Like so many other doctors, Dr. Granada’s efforts have gone unnoticed,” Brown said. “He is quiet and professional and tonight, we shine on him the spotlight that he has avoided all these years and thank him for the service that he has provided.” Also inducted into the Physician Hall of Fame was the late Dr. Richard Tobin. Tobin, who came to Seaford in 1959 to join the surgical practice of Dr. William Cooper who died in 1970 at the age of 42. At the dinner to accept his award were his widow, Dr. Judith Tobin, who is retired from Nanticoke as well as from the state Medical Examiner’s Office and who herself is in the Hall of Fame, and two sons, Stanley and Clark.
“My father was larger than life,” Clark said. “What he did, he did with passion, and I see a lot of that in the Nanticoke family of today.” Honored with the Founders Award was former county councilman Dale Dukes, Laurel. Dukes was on the county council in 1991 when the county started its paramedic service. Back then, the service’s annual budget was $500,000, Dukes said. Now, the service has eight stations, 109 employees and an annual budget of $14 million. The Charles C. Allen Jr. Leadership in Philanthropy Award was given to husband and wife Jim and Lois Hartstein, both of Laurel. Jim, president of the Insurance Market and a member of the La Red Health Center board of directors, is a former member of the Nanticoke board of directors. Lois, a member of the Laurel School Board, is on the committee that arranges the annual Nanticoke auction. “They both have been devoted to philanthropic causes throughout their careers,” Brown said. “They have demonstrated selflessness with their time and resources to the betterment of the community.” This was the ninth year that Nanticoke has held its Tributes Dinner. The hospital has adopted a quote by Sir Isaac Newton for the motto of the event. Newton said, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” “Tonight, we are in the presence of giants,” Brown said. “That’s why we have this event every year, to remember those who have helped us along.”
HEALTH DIGEST NHS welcomes Dr. Ruiz Nanticoke Health Services welcomes Dr. Ximena Ruiz, MD to its medical staff. Dr. Ruiz joins Nanticoke Health Services as a rheumatologist at the Arthritis and Osteoporosis Center located at 1350 Middleford Rd., Ste. 502, Seaford. Dr. Ruiz completed her rheumatology fellowship training at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. She completed her internal mediruiz cine residency at the University of Connecticut in Farmington.

They help identify pathologies, plan and administer treatment and restore patient health. Betsy Freidel, RT(R)(M), mammography technologist, has been providing mammograms at Bayhealth since 1988. She has been a firsthand witness to the incredible leaps in technology that make it possible for many cancers to be discovered earlier. Over the years, the standard has moved from xerography to film, and most recently to digital mammography. “The use of digital mammography has enhanced Bayhealth’s ability to detect breast cancer at its earliest stage. Early detection is a vital component in the successful treatment of breast cancer,” Freidel said. Getting a mammogram can be a scary experience for many, and Freidel welcomes the chance to reassure, explain, and comfort patients through the process. Working with patients and their families is also what inspires Mabel Marshall, BSRTR, CT, M, CT supervisor, with Bayhealth since 1994. A CT scan may be recommended if a patient has a headache or stomach pain without an obvious cause.

Anderson joins Bayhealth Bayhealth is pleased to welcome a physical therapist with a special interest in women’s health and pre/post-natal physical therapy, a new service offered at both Kent General and Milford Memorial. Megan Anderson, DPT, of Dover received her doctorate in physical therapy from Indiana University in 2009. After beginning her practice in Seattle, Wash., she was introduced to pelvic floor rehab and pre/post natal PT by a colleague. She has since completed focused coursework through the Herman and Wallace Institute including treatment of diagnoses such as dyspareunia (pelvic pain or pain during intercourse), stress and urge incontinence, pudendal neuralgia and many others. She is also trained in biofeedback for neuromuscular re-education of the pelvic floor. Patients may see their family physician to request a prescription for this specialized physical therapy, so Anderson may evaluate their condition and create a treatment plan.
