Trade associations can lead the way with important training, small business networking and fighting for changes in regulations. We want to put a new focus on them. By Jim Kneiszel, Editor
he new year brings a natural opportunity to reassess how youre performing your job and what you might change to improve the services you provide. The same holds true for Pumper, which celebrates 35 years of serving liquid waste haulers in June. When Bob Kendall and Pete Lawonn started Midwest Pumper in 1979, they envisioned creating a trade journal that would become the marketplace for pumping professionals, a place for septic service contractors to sell equipment, shop for new products and exchange ideas. The magazine has proven to be all that and more, promoting greater industry professionalism and serving the community of pumpers with advertising, feature stories about successful contractors and countless business-building ideas. Over the years, the magazine has been tweaked with many improvements to enhance the reader experience. Newsprint was replaced with glossy color magazine pages. Reader-submitted black and white

photography has burst into colorful photo layouts produced by professional photographers. There is a new and exciting synergy between the print product which readers continually tell me is a staple reading material in their offices and the www.pumper.com website. For 2014, were making a few changes in the way we share news about the many state and regional trade associations that serve the pumping and onsite installation industries. Were moving away from the Association News format weve followed for many years and adding two new features to report in greater depth about issues facing the pumping community and to encourage more effective networking. We saw a need to delve deeper into regional industry issues. So were adding a new State of the State feature, dedicating an entire column to the happenings in a state or Canadian province in every issue. This month we catch up with the Iowa Onsite Waste Water Association and its president, Steve Darrah, to learn about topics ranging from the groups partnership with Habitat For Humanity to statewide industry certification efforts. Writer Doug Day will interview a different industry association leader every month to explore the challenges they face and the initiatives theyre pursuing to meet rising expectations. The feature will give associations a valuable platform to share their ideas and goals for the industry. The idea is to reach out to every active trade association over time and involve them in our new feature. If you would like Doug to give you a call and turn the spotlight on your trade group, drop me a line at editor@pumper.com and let me know. As a companion to State of the State, well run a comprehensive list of industry associations with contact information so you can reach out to the folks who represent your interests on a regional basis. Take a look at the list as it appears in this issue, and if you dont see your trade group represented, let me know and well add it. The goal is to link pumpers with the associations that offer training opportunities, industry networking and lobbying regarding regulations. While more and more trade associations now use email and electronic newsletters to stay in constant contact with their members, we continue to provide space for these organizations to promote their annual conferences or training opportunities. We offer a platform for announcing these events, either in the print magazine or through the Pumper online presence. Readers eagerly anticipate the arrival of Pumper magazine in their mailboxes, and we think it covers the industry in great depth and breadth. However sometimes associations may have late-breaking news regarding a new government regulation or updates on important training sessions that we cant respond to in the monthly magazine. The website is built for speed and we can add your association news items as quickly as they could be reported on the nightly news. When you find you need to spread the word to your membership in a hurry, contact me and well share the news at www. pumper.com.

COVER STORY
uesnel Septic Service Ltd. of Quesnel, British Columbia, Can., operates on the principle that we are living on borrowed water, which must be returned to the environment in the best condition possible. The company continues to grow around a core business of septic and industrial pumping as it expands its slate of offerings to include septic tank design and construction and other services. Quesnel (pronounced Kwen-elle) is located more than a seven-hour drive northeast of Vancouver, B.C. The city sits at the center of a thriving logging and forestry industry with a municipal area population approaching 22,000. The company serves an area delineated by smaller towns: Hixon 40 miles north, Nazko 70 miles west, Barkerville 50 miles east and the same distance to the south. Quesnel Septic was founded in 1968 and run as a one-person shop for 30 years. The business was purchased by Kim Pitcher and her then-husband Sean in 1998 with some older equipment. It was a mom-and-pop operation, recalls Kim. But it was something that we could operate out of our house. We

owned 50 percent of the business and our parents on each side of the family owned 25 percent each.
COMMITTED TO GROWTH The business hired its first employee in its first year. Kim worked at administering the office and dispatch, while Sean worked primarily on the road, along with the hired help. Pitcher was also kept busy as a mother, raising son Morgan, born in 1994, and daughters Kim Pitcher Emalee and Jade, born in 1996 and 2001. Kims father, George Yendrys, has always looked after equipment maintenance. From the start, the owners were committed to expanding the business on the foundation of septic service. Its always exciting to try new challenges and invest in new equipment to offer more services to increase revenue, says Pitcher. In a small community, you cant grow and get ahead by depending entirely on septic pumping. There are also two competitors in town and it doesnt pay to stand still. The company soon purchased a pipe camera and pipe cleaning equipment from UEMSI to pursue municipal CCTV contracts. It also purchased a Western Star water truck with a 4,000-gallon steel tank in 2000, used to provide dust control in mill yards. Quesnel got into and then divested itself of a portable sanitation business during this growth period. Then, in 2005, the couple bought out their parents interests, becoming equal partners in the corporation.
Its always exciting to try new challenges and invest in new equipment to offer more services to increase revenue. In a small community, you cant grow and get ahead by depending entirely on septic pumping.
INDUSTRIAL PUMPING The company increasingly turned to industrial pumping to keep its equipment fleet profitable. Currently, half of the companys pumping activity serves industrial clients, balancing the business during the winter months when residential septic drops off. Recent seasonal staffing patterns see the company employing as many as 10 people in the busy season, but as few as five in the winter. The industrial work keeps employees on the payroll. We have a lot of mills and industrial processing customers on our regular route, says Pitcher. However, this is strictly transportation of the fluids from holding tanks or trenches and these arent caustic substances or
(continued)

harsh chemicals. Its often process water and we arent responsible for treating or disposing of these effluents just moving them to a treatment facility somewhere else. While servicing residential septic systems, the company gained increasing experience in diagnosing system failures and predicting imminent problems. Customers were also requesting assistance in repairing or upgrading their septic systems. At that point, we invested a lot of money in a 2006 Gehl 120 excavator, a 2007 Kubota KX161 mini-excavator, a 2006 Bobcat skid-steer and a 1987 International dump truck, so that we could work on repairing our clients septic systems, says Pitcher. British Columbia operates under strict sewerage system regulations regarding septic tanks. While anyone is theoretically allowed to repair an existing septic tank, replacing a septic system or building a new one requires the contractor to be certified as a Registered Onsite Wastewater Practitioner by the Applied Science Technologists & Technicians of British Columbia. ROWP certification involves completing an educational program and proving fully competent in site evaluation and system design. Septic system permit applications to the provincial Ministry of Health must include a scale drawing of the proposed system. As-built drawings of the installed system must also be filed. Sean got his ROWP in 2006 and Below, left: Ray Repetowski we were soon getting into designing and operates the Vactor truck to building brand-new septic systems for area locate utilities. clients, says Pitcher.

Outgrowing its home base, Quesnel Septics new headquarters, built in 2006, offered a 3,500-square-foot shop with a customer storefront. The business continued to thrive, but in early 2013, the Pitchers called an end to both their marriage and the business partnership. For Kim to continue operating the business in Quesnel, she needed to raise enough money to buy out a half-interest in the company. FORGING A NEW PARTNERSHIP Financial rescue arrived in the form of construction contractor Ben Blacklaw who purchased half the companys assets in May 2013. Id played hockey with Sean and knew the family and the business, says Ben. I was actually the contractor who built the Quesnel Septic shop and headquarters for the company. I was becoming tired of working winters in logging, so when I heard about the opportunity, I approached Kim and we struck a deal. Ben also brought a unique set of skills to the table. As a construction contractor, hed already earned ROWP certification and had experience building area septic systems. I wasnt working in the pumper end of the business, but with my experience in installing septic systems, weve now got both sides covered, he says. We also install water mains and fire hydrants and recently took on
20
a municipal contract in the town of Nazko laying 8-inch sewer pipe. With his construction expertise and a large client list, Quesnel now offers complete construction packages, including land clearing, soil drainage work, and construction of roads, houses, retaining walls and commercial buildings. Ben says its challenging to adjust from a sole proprietorship to a partnership, but hes pleased with the number of projects the company is attracting. As an active supervisor, he notes that field workers have also had to adjust to his direct participation in most of the projects. They were working somewhat independently, but having a boss who works alongside them is helping the company to become more efficient, he says. I also have an easy time hiring for the business. If youve been logging you already know half the people in town and if you dont know them personally, you know someone who does. One of the companys original trucks, a 1989 Ford LNT8000, a 2002 Sterling carrying an older tank and pump transferred from another rig, the 2006 Bobcat skid-steer and the 2007 Kubota miniexcavator are still in active service. The current fleet also includes: a 1998 Kenworth vacuum rig with a 2,500-gallon steel tank from Cusco; a 2003 Vactor 2115 combo truck built on a 2003 Sterling chassis from Jack Doheny Companies; a camera unit from Aries Industries Inc.; a 1990 Peterbilt dump truck; a 2007 ED190 Kobelco excavator; and a 2008 John Deere 315 skid-steer. Three dedicated vehicle bays in the shop allow the company to perform most maintenance in-house. With our in-house repair and maintenance capabilities, were keeping our fleet in top shape with whatever we can tackle without sending them out, Kim says. The company is committed to training and professional development. Quesnel Septic has made the long trip to attend the Pumper & Cleaner Environmental Expo International in the past and is considering a future trip across the border. Kim continues to advertise and market the business actively. We advertise in the Yellow Pages, local newspapers and bargain hunter publications, she says. We also actively manage our website and Facebook page. The partners are committed to continued growth. Kim recently received training to operate the companys Aries inspection camera, while Ben continues to expand the companys construction portfolio. Finding a new business partner overcame a big hurdle, Kim says. Im confident this will lead to new business opportunities for both of us.

Taking it all in at the Pumper & Cleaner Expo can be overwhelming. Here is some advice to ensure you make the most of your trip to the industrys best trade show By Briana Jones
arking my fifth Pumper & Cleaner Environmental Expo International in February, I still remember my first show, walking into the vastness of the exhibit hall when I couldnt tell a vacuum truck from a portable restroom. (Dont worry, I figured it out pretty quickly.) The Expo can feel overwhelming for first-time attendees, but the experience and knowledge gained are well worth the time and money spent. Ive been lucky enough to meet many of you because part of my job involves interviewing attendees, seminar leaders and exhibitors for videos. Youve probably seen me with a camera guy wandering around the show floor. Were the video crew, and we create videos and post them on the Expo website (www.pumpershow.com), to our Facebook pages and onto exhibitor websites. And Ive also learned a lot from you during my years at the Expo, which runs this year from Feb. 24-27 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Ind. Now its my turn to pass along some helpful tips to make your show more enjoyable. Heres some advice for Expo goers, whether youre a seasoned pro or a first-time attendee: PLAN OF ACTION As North Americas largest trade show for the environmental services industry with 500,000 square feet of exhibits and new technology using a virtual floor plan is a great way to ensure you see it all. The online tool available on the Expo website will help you plan each day so you dont miss anything. The floor plan offers a quick and easy way to find exhibits and products. A graphic layout shows where each company is exhibiting and provides booth number, website, and phone number and address. Look up companies and products with the Search the Show option in the upper left-hand corner of the floor plan page. For example, a search for Pipeline Rehabilitation/Lining will highlight all the exhibits on the floor plan that have those products. You can also create a show planner to save personal information, company and product information, and keep a schedule of educational seminars. The mobile website on your smartphone is another helpful tool for planning your time at the Expo. You can search exhibitors to quickly find booth numbers, click the calendar icon to see educational seminar schedules and locations, or use the map of Indianapolis to find local restaurants. Sign up for Facebook and Twitter updates on the mobile site to stay informed on everything happening at the show.
DAILY DOSE Ensure you have the most current seminar schedules and company list with the complimentary Expo Daily, the official daily publication of the Pumper & Cleaner Expo. The publication is available each day on stands at the main registration entrance, and includes daily events, news from the show floor, seminar tracks, COLE Pub hours and lunch options in the hall. Articles sprinkled throughout the publication offer tips and tricks for how to make the most out of your time at the show, including nightlife options, Indy attractions and restaurant suggestions. Exhibitors also like to include specific times for product demonstrations and special offers in their booths. A great assortment of current photos from the show floor also brings the publication to life. Grab yours each morning and peruse it as you wait for the exhibit hall doors to open. MEET AND GREET The Expo is the best place to meet other contractors and municipal managers from across the nation and around the world who face similar industry issues. Whether youre strolling the show floor or sitting down for lunch, introduce yourself to someone new. Youre all there for the same

If youre not the type to just walk up to someone and start a conversation, maybe now is the time to give it a try. Whats the worst that could happen? You meet a new friend or colleague who helps you figure out how to make more money or expand your business. The COLE Pub, located in the back of the hall next to the main concession area, is another great place to build your professional network. Open Monday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Tuesday and Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. during the Expo, the COLE Pub is a fun way to relax, have a drink and make a new acquaintance. As part of the video crew, I interview attendees, which usually involves randomly walking up to some of you. Ive learned a lot from having candid conversations about why you enjoy the Expo. Ive heard so many words of appreciation from attendees for the COLE staff and the overall show, and I cant thank you all enough for making the show a great and informative experience. We couldnt do it without you.

Theres no point in networking if people dont remember your name, so make sure you stand out with these strategies By Patricia Fripp
veryone knows how important networking is in building your business and developing good contacts. But whether its a local business meeting or a service industry event, if no one remembers you afterward, what was the point in attending? Such contacts only work if you make yourself memorable. And this doesnt mean being loud and boisterous. It never ceases to amaze me how many knowledgeable people attend networking events yet overlook their big chance to be memorable by developing a mini-presentation for audiences of one to five. All speaking is public speaking. Outside the privacy of your own home, you are speaking in public no matter the size of your audience. Here are seven strategies that let you walk into a room, confident that people will enjoy meeting you and will recall you afterward: 1. Look your best. If you have a hectic day before going to a business meeting, seminar or other work-related event, keep a change of clothes in your office or car so you can arrive unwrinkled. 2. Wear your name tag. Were all more likely to retain information that we see and hear at the same time; therefore, wear your name tag near your shoulder so people can read it as they hear you say your name. 3. Develop an unforgettable greeting. When you introduce yourself, dont just say your name and job title. Instead, start by describing the benefits of what you do for clients. One of my responses is I make conventions and sales meetings more exciting. Almost invariably, the person Im talking to asks me, How do you do that? Immediately, I get to market myself: You know how companies have meetings that are supposed to be stimulating, but theyre often dull and boring? Well, I present practical ideas in an entertaining way so people stay awake, have a good time and get the companys message. My name is Patricia Fripp, and Im a professional speaker. People remember the pictures you create in their minds more than the words you say. 4. Greet everyone. No name tags? That doesnt mean you ignore people you recognize if youve forgotten their names. Smile and ask a provocative question like, What is the most exciting thing that has happened to you since we last met? And never be afraid to say, The last time we met, we had a great conversation. Will you remind me what your name is? Best-selling author Susan RoAne tells people, Forgive me for forgetting your name. Since I passed 40, its hard to remember my own.
By saying something interesting, memorable or funny, you become an object of interest to your listeners.
shy. For many people, mingling with a room full of strangers can be an unpleasant or even scary experience. Focus on the benefits of meeting new contacts and learning new information instead of any butterflies in your stomach. Until youve gained confidence, a good way to do this is to volunteer for a job that requires interacting with other attendees, such as serving as a greeter, who stands at the entrance and welcomes people to the event: How do you do? Im Chris Carter. Welcome to the state wastewater conference. Please find your name tag, and help yourself to refreshments; our program will start in 30 minutes. Soon you will start feeling like the host of the party. Youll meet new people this way and get cheery nods of recognition throughout the event, making it easy to stop and talk later. 6. Travel with your own PR agent. This is a powerful technique that maximizes your networking. Form a duo with a business associate. When you arrive, alternately separate and come together, talking up each others strengths and expertise. As your friend walks up, you say to the person youve been talking to, Jack, Id like you to meet Elaine, our customer service manager. She has been with us only eight months, but her ability to listen to clients needs has given us a competitive edge. Then Elaine can say, Well, Greg is being generous. Its his knowledge of the septic service industry and his skill in running the company that really helped me get up to speed on the job. When you do this, youre saying about each other exactly what you would love your prospects to know, but modesty prevents you from telling them. By saying something interesting, memorable or funny, you become an object of interest to your listeners. When they go to work the next day and talk about the networking event they attended, theyll remember you and your company. 7. Always send a note or brochure the next day to the people you have met. Keep business cards you receive, and make notes of what you said for the next time you meet them at an event. These are all easy and positive ways to be memorable. Get the most out of your networking time and energy by making yourself worth remembering!
5. Overcome shyness. Much of the value of networking events can be lost if you let yourself focus on being unassuming or fundamentally

CONTRACTOR PROFILE
Pam Weierke prospects for pumping customers throughout the farm and ranch territory in northwestern South Dakota and strikes pay dirt
By Betty Dageforde
he population of Sturgis, S.D., swells to about half a million when the town hosts its annual motorcycle rally the first week in August. Otherwise, its only about 7,000. And surrounding towns in this northwest portion of the state are even smaller and are few and far between. This remote area is where Pam Weierke, owner of Weierkes Septic Service LLC, found an underserved market among the areas ranches and farms. The distances she travels are so vast that several times a year she goes out for days at a time. And just for a change of pace, during the motorcycle rally shes right there in the thick of it, pumping anything and everything. UNEMPLOYMENT TO SELF EMPLOYMENT In 2005 Weierke and her husband Ray moved to South Dakota from Minnesota when she had an opportunity to be safety director for a trucking company. But in 2007 she was laid off when the company was bought out. As she considered options, she kept coming back to the idea of doing septic work, which she had done with her first husband some 30 years prior. (continued)

So the then-49-year-old grandmother checked out the competition, researched the going rates, called the state to learn about local regulations, got a loan and then asked her son and ex-husband Cody and Mike McKinley to find her a truck. With the enthusiastic support of her husband, Ray, and extended family she was off and running. It was like I never left it, she says. I knew the process, I knew what to do. What was hard was building up a clientele, especially since she was relatively new to the area and people did not know her. A big breakthrough came when she started attending local fairs called homeand-ag shows held January through April in surrounding towns. I put up a booth there just to introduce myself to the public, answer questions and get to know people. She says its one of the best things she ever did and continues to do. She also sent flyers to people in nearby towns. Although they didnt always produce immediate results she is constantly amazed that years later people still call her because they had stuck her flyer up on their refrigerator and now needed service. CONTINUING EDUCATION After establishing her business, Weierke went through the state certification process and began performing septic inspections. She also went through the University of Minnesotas onsite sewage treatment program, a course of study not offered in South Dakota. She took all the required tests and goes back every three years for training updates. This is helpful not only to her but to her clients as she wants to pass along the most current information as it evolves.

More than half my job is educating the customer. Many still believe if youre not having problems you dont have to pump them. But Ive made a lot of believers out of them. Pam Weierke
Grandmother Pam Weierke moved to South Dakota with her husband, Ray, and has found a new and exciting career as an independent pumper.
Weierke always carries her Crust Buster to agitate septic tanks, like shes doing here on a ranch in Meade County, South Dakota.

More than half my job is educating the customer, she says. Many still believe if youre not having problems you dont have to pump them. But Ive made a lot of believers out of them. When she meets a customer for the first time, she explains the dos and donts of a septic system. She also gives them a brochure from the University of Minnesota on the topic. She puts the brochure into what she calls her goody packet a marketing tool she fills with useful items such as lighted key rings, calendars and business cards. Weierke also keeps up with state, local and federal regulations which continue to evolve. Thirty-five years ago it wasnt anywhere near as controlled or regulated as it is now, she says. For example, homeowners in her county are now required to have their tanks pumped
and inspected before selling their house. And in Weierke links hose to reach a ranchs septic a nearby county all tanks must be pumped and tank. Shes found an inspected every six years. She believes its only a underserved market for matter of time before those regulations expand to septic pumping in the the whole state and she wants to be prepared. ranch areas far from Pumper has also been a valuable source of her Sturgis, S.D., home. information, she says. I go through every issue and take out articles that would be helpful to me. Ive got those in a three-ring binder and if I have questions what did this person do in this situation its a good reference for me. HAVE TRUCK WILL TRAVEL A few years ago a friend of Weierkes suggested she check out the area around Faith, N.D., (population 400), about 130 miles north, saying no one was offering septic work there. So she did and says she was astounded how quickly the customer base grew mostly farmers and ranchers to the point that now she sets up appointments with her customers and goes up there at least twice a year, sometimes three or four times, for as much as a week at a time. Its worked out so well shes now planning to tack on a day or two to her trips and expand another 60 miles north into the area around Bison, N.D. (population 300). Weierkes husband often tags along. Hes retired and likes to make a vacation out of it. He drives their horse trailer/camper and she takes the septic truck a 1999 International DT466 built out by Abernethy Welding & Repair with a 2,500-gallon steel tank and Masport H15W pump along with her 150R/T sewer line camera from Amazing Machinery Inc. and her other faithful companion, dog Skippy. Weierke calls Ray the agitator and the entertainment committee. First he stirs up the contents of the tank with the Crust Buster from Schmitz Brothers LLC, then he sits back and chats with the ranch owner while Weierke goes to work. Hes a real character, she says. People are either shaking their heads or theyre smiling. Although ranchers often invite her to camp on their land, the Weierkes generally stay at a park in Faith where theyve got hookups and a nearby gas station. She tries to be considerate of other campers, cleaning the truck before going so it looks and smells good.

Dennis Bass of Bass Reddy Rooter goes to Expo every year to see what latest industry innovations can do for him. The best tool Ive come across in several years is AfterShock. AfterShock has helped me to remediate drain elds and chamber systems, saving my customers thousands on excavation and replacement of septic components. Ive saved greaseclogged elds at restaurants, overloaded elds at schools, and of course residences. Since the introduction of AfterShock soil absorption restorative in 2009, drain elds all across America have been remediated by this great product. Jeff Nest, a contractor in Maine went so far as to say, Im going to sell my backhoe and use AfterShock all the time instead. (He was joking about the backhoe, but he loves the job done by AfterShock.) A contractor in Pennsylvania gushed, Ive been waiting for this product my whole life! A contractor in Ontario says, AfterShock is working great in the tile bed that receives our portable restroom waste. Coast to coast and in Canada, AfterShock is saving homeowners thousands in replacement costs.
rant funding for the repair or replacement of residential septic systems is available in the upper White River watershed of southwest Missouri. Through early October, the Ozarks Water Watch had replaced 75 systems in the area, funded by $1 million the not-for-profit organization received from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Table Rock Lake Water Quality and the Department of Conservation. The program will pay 60 percent of the cost, with as much as 98 percent available for low-income homeowners. Originally, the maximum a homeowner could receive was $10,000 but that has been increased to $25,000, with half available as a grant and the rest as a no-interest loan. Repaid funds will go to a revolving loan fund for future replacements. Funds will be available through July 2015 or until they are exhausted. Ohio Funds are available until May 2014, or until they run out, for residents in five counties facing pollution issues that feed toxic algae bloom into Lake Erie. Residents of owner-occupied homes in Erie, Wyandot, Sandusky, Ottawa and Seneca counties can access funds to assist with replacing or repairing their onsite systems. Property owners must meet income guidelines, and the projects will go out for bid to all contractors registered with the countys health department. Funds will not cover installation of a new homes sewer system, connecting a failing system to the public system or abandonment of drinking water wells, even if it is required by the local health department. New York Nitrogen polluting Long Islands waters has long been a concern rising levels have worried scientists and residents for three decades. To help raise awareness, the Long Island Clean Water Partnership has launched a $3 million, three-year advertising and education campaign about protecting Long Islands waters. Whats to blame? Experts point to aging sewage treatment plants, antiquated septic systems, storm runoff and fertilizer use. According to one study, between 1987 and 2005, nitrogen in the aquifer that supplies most of Long Islands drinking water increased by as much as 200 percent. While those numbers are below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency limit for safety, some remain concerned about the effect of nitrogen on groundwater and surface water. According to the EPA, nitrogen pollution is one of the most widespread environmental problems in the country, affecting 15,000 waterways, including 2.5 million acres of lakes and reservoirs, and 80,000 miles of rivers and streams.

Life in Motion
You might say pumper Tammy Thompson-Oreskovic is spinning her wheels in her moonlighting retail business By Sharon Verbeten
ortable sanitation providers live some pretty busy lives and often may look for ways to de-stress and unwind. For Tammy ThompsonOreskovic, owner of Arnolds Environmental Services in Saukville, Wis., that outlet is bicycling. The avid cyclist and fitness enthusiast had taken many bike rides on the 40-mile Ozaukee Interurban Trail, but after getting two flat tires along the way, frustration brought with it an idea. When Thompson-Oreskovic wasnt able to find a bike shop for trailside repairs, she thought about starting one of her own. For some reason, it just stuck in my head, she says, noting that her nearest competitor is 20 miles away. Being an entrepreneur, I just kept thinking about it. In 2011, that idea came to fruition when Thompson-Oreskovic opened Zuzu Pedals in the nearby touristy lakefront city of Port Washington. IT ALL BEGAN WITH A BIKE Although she was already busy with her marketing and administrative duties for Arnolds, Thompson-Oreskovic, 49, planned to start her

I just thought it would be pretty colorful single-speed comfort simple and pretty straightforward, she bikes that are perfect for riding says. She planned on just renting out the trails along Lake Michigan. single-speed, pedal-brake beach cruiser (Photos by Jim Kneiszel) bikes ideal comfort riding for those enjoying the lakefront and popular trail built on an abandoned railroad bed. In the city of about 11,000, Thompson-Oreskovic noticed a lot of vacant storefronts, so she began talking with local merchants and the Chamber of Commerce and decided to move forward, using her own savings as her initial investment. Lets just start out with this and see what happens, she recalls, and launched her business in a small storefront just two blocks from Lake Michigan.

It was tough in the beginning, she says; she started with only 12 bikes to rent. But soon customers came in asking if she did repairs. She hired a mechanic and started doing repairs in the fall and winter; she also considered selling bikes and accessories. By the following February, Zuzu Pedals became a dealer of Specialized brand bicycles. As it continues to grow, it becomes its own entity and requires its own set of strategies, she says, adding, Its been received really well. I feel like weve become the little corner bike shop. We try to excel at helping people feel comfortable.
In addition to renting When shes not running bikes, the shop now sells Arnolds Environmental several brands of bikes, Services, Tammy Thompson-Oreskovic is apparel and accessories. In the hanging out at her Port quiet winter months, the shop hosts yoga and indoor cycling Washington, Wis., bike classes. Zuzu Pedals sponsors shop, Zuzu Pedals. the local multisport club and organized rides, in addition to being involved in the citys Main Street downtown business organization. Being involved is really important; its a really civicminded community, she explains. In two years, Thompson-Oreskovic says the city itself has really grown, showing a tangible community reinvestment, which now rarely has storefront vacancies on the main drag. HER BUSINESS SYNERGIES While both Zuzu Pedals and Arnolds may appear to be seasonal businesses, Thompson-Oreskovic stays busy, especially trying to grow and market both the companies. Arnolds rents out about 1,700 restrooms and 10 restroom trailers from manufacturers PolyJohn Enterprises, Five Peaks Technology, Satellite Industries, JAG Mobile Solutions, NuConcepts, Black Tie Event Services and McKee Technologies. Several vacuum trucks are built out by Imperial Industries Inc. with National Vacuum Equipment pumps. The pumping equipment and bicycles/fitness apparel may seem an unlikely pairing, but she has found synergy between her two businesses which helps both grow and succeed. They do feed off of each other. For Arnolds, we do a lot of restrooms at special events that include bike races, triathlons, etc., she says. I already
had a lot of relationships with promoters. Every time such an event comes up, Thompson-Oreskovic knows it could potentially benefit both businesses. I never know which hat Ill have on, she says, recalling a day when the race director of an Ironman event visited her bike shop. It was a perfect opportunity to talk with him about providing restrooms at the event as well. And when Arnolds provided the restrooms for the 5K Dirty Girl Mud Run in Pleasant Prairie, Wis., the event was also promoted at Zuzu. Admitting she has a lot of energy, ThompsonOreskovic has seemed to hit her stride in terms of time management of both businesses. There are a lot of people I know doing a lot more than I am, she says. Im pretty good at time management. Technology helps a lot and surrounding yourself with really good people. She works seven days a week, starting her day at Arnolds, where she oversees a staff of managers. She ends her day at Zuzu, where even though the business is trending well she is working on creating more awareness. My forte is marketing, she says. Your marketing and customer service have to be your primary focus. Once you figure out how to make that work, you can apply that skill to any industry. I think more about what Im doing now to make the future happen, says Thompson-Oreskovic. To that end, she uses Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook and other social media to peddle the word about Zuzu Pedals. Im a big believer in social media; its free and it works. So when shes not working the office at Arnolds, caring for her two teenagers or running yet another triathlon, Thompson-Oreskovic is happy to hang her hat, or bike helmet, at Zuzu. I really am enjoying it, she says. Its challenging; its fun. I get to meet people every single day, [often] from around the world. I get to do what I love.

IOWWA partners with government agencies, onsite product suppliers and Habitat for Humanity to educate installers By Doug Day
he Iowa Onsite Waste Water Association is one of the largest in the country, with about 400 members representing installation and maintenance contractors, regulators, engineers, soil scientists, manufacturers and educators. President Steve Darrah says such a broad base has helped IOWWA develop a good working relationship with interested groups to improve the certification program and onsite regulations, and help improve Iowas water quality. Darrah, owner of Crystal Heating and Plumbing in Waverly, took over as president of IOWWA at the beginning of 2013 after three years on the board of directors. He has 23 years of experience as an installer and 40 years as a plumber. Darrah talked about the organization and the state of the industry in Iowa.
2009 and have them in our online library [www.iowwa.com]. Its a really good asset for learning or if installers are looking for a different system for a particular application. Its been a great place for us, the suppliers and manufacturers to show their wares and the proper way to install and maintain them. We have installed time-dosing systems, mounds, peat filters, aerobic systems and others and hopefully more are coming. [Installed systems include: Advantex, Concrete Peat System, EcoFlex, FAST System, Fusion Tank, Hoot System, Hydro-Action Aerobic Unit, and Multi-Flo.] What are the licensing requirements in Iowa? Darrah: We have the statewide Certified Installer of Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems [CIOWTS] program. IOWWA proctors the test provided by the National Environmental Health Association [NEHA]. The NEHA test is well-respected, very detailed and in-depth. We give that test twice a year to certify installers and IOWWA manages renewals. As part of that, we offer a [1 1/2-day] Installation Overview course for those taking the exam, though they dont have to take the class before taking the test. Certification requires continuing education credits. So along with the annual conference, where installers can get those, we have meetings throughout the year across the state on different topics where they can get CEUs to maintain their license. How does the certification work with individual counties? Darrah: Requiring certification hasnt been picked up by many counties, but were working on it and encourage the counties to adopt regulations requiring licensing of installers and certification through IOWWA. Contractors work in a lot of different counties and some work in neighboring states; a good majority of them are getting certified. But only 10 out of 99 counties require certification. Some counties have sanitarians to make sure perc tests and soil analysis have been done and systems are inspected. Other counties dont have the resources and dont require as much. Thats been a focus of the IOWWA board to get better at that in the coming years. A lot of it has to do with funding. The state would like them to require certifications, and thats part of our efforts to get out there and meet with the county health departments to explain why its important, what wed like to see them do, and if they need any help implementing a program for onsite wastewater. The state has been a good partner and we have a good working relationship. Theyve helped us with the Habitat for Humanity project and gave us a grant for our Trailer of Training.
(continued)
How did IOWWA get started? Darrah: It began in 1999 to help onsite wastewater people learn more about what were dealing with here in Iowa as far as our soil conditions and septic systems that work in certain soils. A lot of work has been done Steve Darrah is on alternative systems over the last few years. president of the Iowa We have a large variety of soil conditions in Onsite Waste Water Iowa. In the northeast, we have solid lime rock with three to eight inches of loam cover, to areas where its Association. almost wetland. You might run into the water table at three feet in the north. Southern Iowa has coal, southwest Iowa is extremely hilly, very rocky and highly erodible. Plus we have a lot of streams and rivers, including the Mississippi on the east side and the Missouri on the west side of state. What have you done to explore the various septic systems? Darrah: In 2005, we started working with a Habit for Humanity project on an old Air Defense Command radar site just outside Waverly, where I live. They build new three-bedroom homes and revamp some of the old homes that were on the site, now called Heartland Hills. Weve installed eight different systems and we maintain and monitor them monthly to see how they work. We hope to do more out there. Its been real interesting. For each installation, we have a class open to our membership to see how they are installed. We have manufacturers there so its a good time to see how theyre expecting things to be installed and tested. Thats been a good piece of knowledge for the association. We have received a USDA Technical Assistance and Training grant for the development of a training program for the operation and maintenance of the onsite systems there. We have filmed some of the installations since

What is that? Darrah: The Trailer of Training can be Do you want used by members for things like county to learn more? fairs and IOWWA brings it to the state fair. Contact: We acquired it through a grant from the Steve Darrah Iowa Department of Public Health. Iowa Onsite Waste Water A lot of people dont know anything Association about their septic systems, so we have crystalhp@mchsi.com displays and handouts about our 319-352-3241 organization and who to contact. People can learn about the type of system they have, what kind of condition its in, how often it should be inspected and pumped, and information about the time of transfer law that requires septics to be inspected when a home is sold to make sure it is operating properly. Iowa updated onsite wastewater regulations last year. How was IOWWA involved in that? Darrah: The regulations allow more alternative peat and aerobic systems in places where conventional systems like pipe and rock, sand filters and chamber systems cant be used. IOWWA commented and we were in favor of the changes. We work pretty closely with the Department of Natural Resources and have a good relationship with them as far as regulations; we get along pretty well. We typically use conventional systems; sand filters, seepage beds, pipe and rock, and chamber systems. Some septic systems are in highly populated areas. The type of system depends on lot sizes and how the lot is laid out. If
they are close to streams, rivers and lakes they need a special permit and testing twice as often as other systems. Lots may seem to be big, but when you try to put a well and septic system on the same lot, all of a sudden theyre fighting each other or with a neighbors well. Now we have alternatives like peat, aerobic and anaerobic systems. There are a number to choose from, but they dont come into play unless a conventional system cant be used for some reason. Back in the day, septic systems may have had a tank or maybe it went into the front of a 57 Chevy buried 10 feet under the ground. A lot of them had straight pipes from a homemade tank into a ditch. Between system failures and the time of transfer program, those problem areas are being found and corrected to better protect water quality in Iowa.

Pay attention to these guidelines when its time to borrow money for your next truck
s it time for another truck? Whether your business is expanding or you simply need to replace an older piece of equipment, you can expect to spend a fair amount of time making your decision. That new asset is an important investment, and youll want to make sure you get one that meets all your needs. But once youve picked it out, your decisions arent over. Perhaps you have the resources to pay cash up front, but its more likely youll need to finance the purchase. And that means more choices. Will you take financing from the dealer? Get a bank loan? Consider other options? Your course of action is anything but automatic and when youre preparing to take this step, you have to be deliberate about which choice will be best for you and your business. DEALING WITH THE DEALER Dealer financing whether its part of a program from the manufacturer or is independent of the company making your new vehicle is probably the path of least resistance. Just being able to do one-stop shopping for a truck and loan together is likely to make it attractive. Dont snub the value that convenience offers you. At the same time, though, dont forget that you have other options. Financing through a dealer or manufacturer could be a bit more expensive. One reason is that in its eagerness to make a sale, the dealer- or manufacturer-affiliated lender might be willing to take a bit more risk on the loan than a conventional bank and the riskier the lender thinks you are, the more youre going to pay. If youre a strong candidate for a loan, however, you may do better going through that conventional bank. TAKING IT TO THE BANK For most businesses seeking a loan for some piece of heavy equipment a vacuum truck or a trailer-mounted jetter, perhaps it is just as easy to get it through bank financing as it would be to go through your dealership, says Bud Miller, chief sales officer and senior VP for small business sales and distribution at TD Bank. Strong borrowers are very attractive to banks these days, Miller says. While the economy is still a bit feeble, the downturn winnowed out the weakest banks. The survivors are now ready to try to grow again, he says, and so the competition is very, very strong for strong borrowers. THE 3 CS The key to a bank loan is to understand that your bankers top priority is making sure the bank gets its money back and profits from the deal. One easy way is to show them youre on top of all of the 3 Cs cash flow, credit history and collateral.
You want to show the bank your business has a strong cash flow and that paying your loan on time will not strain your budget. That doesnt mean you have to present a formal business plan simply for a loan for one piece of equipment, but you will need to be sure your recent business tax returns are in order and easily show the condition of your business. In demonstrating your cash flow can support the loan, youll want to look forward, not just backward. If this is replacement equipment, your job may be fairly easy: Just show how youve profited from the unit your new purchase will take the place of. If the new one has efficiencies built in that could make it do more work in less time, make sure to show that, too, as concretely as you can.
If youre buying a truck because you just received a new contract, and your current cash flow is fine for what you currently have, but adding on will stretch your cash, having some projections for what the new business is going to bring you is going to be important.
Bud Miller
But what if your new asset will allow you to expand into a new geographic area or a new subspecialty in your work? Your task might be a bit tougher, but if youre making a realistic decision, you should be able to demonstrate it. Show the bank youve crunched the numbers and produce solid evidence for the increased business youre projecting. If youre buying a truck because you just received a new contract, and your current cash flow is fine for what you currently have, but adding on will stretch your cash, having some projections for what the new business is going to bring you is going to be important, Miller says. GOOD CREDIT Youll also be asked for both a business credit report and, in all likelihood, a personal credit report. Paying your debts on time, as a business and as an individual, can make the difference down the road as to how much it will cost you to borrow when you need to make that purchase. If you ran into a crunch sometime back and it shows up on your report business or personal be prepared to discuss what happened, Miller warns. Another standard request will be for a copy of the invoice on the equipment youre buying. The bank will want to make sure its value is appropriate to what the individual is paying. After all, if you do default on the loan, the bank will be stuck with having to resell the item in order to recoup its losses. Thats the collateral.

Most lending programs for vehicles and similar business assets are pretty straightforward. Miller notes, however, that there are some additional options for smaller companies through the federal Small Business Administration. SBA-backed loans can be especially helpful for newer companies that havent been around long enough to build a strong business track record. Essentially, the government agency helps guarantee the private banks loan, which can make the difference for some companies in their ability to borrow, or borrow at a better rate. From time to time, SBA has waived up front fees on loans like that, so make sure to see if your bank is participating in such a program and what help it might offer you. SBA loans can also help if you want to put less money down, Miller says. A LEASE ON LIFE Still another option might be a lease. Leasing is likely to cost a bit more than a conventional loan, but Miller says it doesnt have to be significantly more expensive perhaps a half a percent or 1 percent more. The big advantage to a lease is that it could allow you to buy the asset with no money down. Whatever decision you make, one thing will make the whole process a lot easier: a strong relationship with your bank going in. THE IMPORTANCE OF RELATIONSHIP Forming that relationship and nurturing it long before you actually have to seek a loan can do a lot for smoothing the application and approval process, Miller says. That way you have an ally and a supporter in the bank who can hear the unique story of your business and then relate it up the chain in their own organization to make the best case possible on your behalf. And when the time comes to buy that truck, you may find that the choices are actually a whole lot less complicated than you feared.

o, youre attending the 2014 Pumper & Cleaner Environmental Expo International in late February, youve arrived a few days early and are looking for something to do, right? You dont have to go too far if youre an NFL fan. Just look to Lucas Oil Stadium where the 2014 NFL Combine will be taking place the combine and the Pumper & Cleaner Expo overlap by two days. Itll be the third straight year the NFL will be distributing tickets for the scouting combine that is held each February in Indianapolis and draws the best college athletes hoping to make it onto an NFL roster. In 2012, the NFL opened the scouting combine to 250 and demand was so high that the NFL increased the number of tickets available to 600 and fans could be allowed in for two days instead of just one. This year, NFL officials are saying more tickets could be available. Those tickets would either be sold via a ticket outlet such as Ticketmaster or, as done in the past, fans would need to write an essay saying why they deserved the ticket. Those plans werent finalized by deadline, according to Corry Rush, AFC Football Communications Director. The NFL is looking for real, die-hard fans to be a part of this opportunity, says Rush. Fans getting tickets will get a chance to see some of the top draft prospects Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater; South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney; Texas A & M tackle Jake Matthews; Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins; and UCLA linebacker Anthony Barr. Its the ultimate job interview, said Indianapolis Colts General Manager Ryan Grigson. Fans could watch the 40-yard dash for quarterbacks, wide receivers, offensive linemen and tight ends, and position skill drills. The NFL Scouting Combine has been growing in popularity over the last several years. In 2012, more than 6.5 million people watched on the NFL Network and ESPN. Last year, more than 7 million watched. There arent too many outdoor activities centered around the NFL Combine, but if youre attending the Pumper & Cleaner Expo and book your hotel room early, you have a chance to stay in the expos host hotel the JW Marriott which is also the host hotel for the NFL Scouting Combine. Fans will see coaches, general managers and college athletes walking around the hotel, through the convention center and around that area of Indianapolis, Rush said. The NFL Combine will be held Feb. 18-25 this year, while the first day of the Pumper & Cleaner Expo is Monday, Feb. 24 with Education Day. The Expo is returning to the Indiana Convention Center connected to the JW Marriott Feb. 24-27, 2014, showing off the latest products and technologies in the environmental services industry. Early registration costs just $50 until Jan. 24. At-the-door registration is $70 for the full program. To find out more, visit www.pumpershow.com or call 866/933-2653.

How can I fill my tank to the brim without watching the truck buck and jump?
This feature in Pumper reports noteworthy conversations that take place at the Pumper Discussion Forum, an online forum for industry professionals found at www.pumper.com. Pumper Discussion enables exchange of information and ideas on septic and drainfield installation and maintenance, trucks and equipment, portable sanitation, chemical and additives and much more. Information and advice in Overheard Online is offered in good faith by industry professionals. However, readers should consult in depth with appropriate industry sources before applying such advice to a specific business situation.
air. The truck jumps a bit because of the free air entering my truck, and this must make the ball jump in the primary [closing it off]. Yesterday I pumped a tank holding 780 gallons of liquid, and the truck jumped a few times and plugged the primary off. My truck should be able to hold about 825 gallons. Are there any tips or tricks around this without modifying my primary? I have a low-profile 12inch manway/primary combo.
ANSWERS:
Change your primary to one of the two-ball configurations with a clear sight glass. You cant suck air when the truck tank is near full. Also, you cant use a hollow rubber float ball. It will grow in a vacuum. Use a solid rubber or hollow stainless steel ball instead.
QUESTION:
Ive noticed that when my truck is close to getting full the ball in the primary jumps up prematurely and closes off my supply line when I still have room for about 75 to 100 more gallons. It seems to do this when Im at the bottom of a customers tank and the hose is sucking
QUESTION:
I am setting up a home office for my pumping/Title 5 business. Please share your ideas about computer software, filing systems, etc. Right now, I have a yearly calendar notebook and five boxes filled with invoices . . . Theres got to be a better way! How do you do it?
ANSWERS:
I just use Quickbooks. I update my Quickbooks about once a week. I leave all my pumping slips in a little box. Then once a week take all the slips and enter them into Quickbooks. I know they make software for pumping. But Quickbooks seems to work fine for me. Yes, Quickbooks. I use the online version. Anywhere I have access to the Internet, I have access to my books. With a printer in the truck, Im able to do invoices from my smartphone.

Jim Anderson, Ph.D., is an emeritus professor at the University of Minnesota Department of Soil Water and Climate, education coordinator for the National Association of Wastewater Technicians, and recipient of the pumping industrys Ralph Macchio Lifetime Achievement Award. Email Jim questions about septic system maintenance and operation at editor@pumper.com.
Customer education is the key to keeping septic systems working properly and avoid getting called out for emergency service By Jim Anderson
In many households, the toilet is used as a handy wastebasket to flush away a number of items. This may work where homes are serviced by the big pipe but for onsite systems this can be disastrous.
DISPOSE OF MEDICINES PROPERLY. The tank should not become a repository for unused medicines. Medications should be properly disposed of according to local and state rules. Some medicines can harm the bacterial action in the tank, resulting in problems with the drainfield. If a septic system user is taking heart medication or chemotherapy, recommend a service contract to have the tank cleaned regularly. Suggested time frame is every 6 months to be adjusted depending on how the contents of the tank look upon cleaning. SAY NO TO SOLVENTS. Homeowners should not put paint or solvents down the drain because these can be harmful to the bacteria in the tank. Paint brushes should not be cleaned in the sink and excess paint disposed of in the system. Likewise, other materials such as gasoline or other petroleum products should not go down the drain. GIVE NEW SYSTEMS A FRESH START. If a house is new, I recommend pumping the tank soon after occupancy. This is to remove any items that may have been flushed or washed down the drain during the construction process. These could be drywall materials, paint residuals, solvents or cleaning materials. Recommend homeowners give the system a fresh start. EDUCATION IS KEY Homeowner education materials are available to help your customers understand their septic system. The one I like to promote is the Homeowners Guide published through the University of Minnesota Extension Service. There is a charge for this publication, but it is very comprehensive and provides a worksheet for homeowners to determine when they should have their septic tank pumped. It can be purchased by clicking on the Homeowner Information tab on the Minnesota Onsite Sewage Program website, www.septic.umn.edu. There are free materials and brochures on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency website, www.epa.gov/owm/onsite, and the National Onsite Wastewater Recycling Association has a homeowner pamphlet available.

Join NAWT for valuable programs at the Pumper & Cleaner Expo
By Jim Anderson
oin the National Association of Wastewater Technicians in Indianapolis for the Pumper & Cleaner Environmental Expo International Feb. 2427. Many special events and activities begin with the NAWT-sponsored session during Education Day Feb. 24 at the Indiana Convention Center. We have a great line-up on two topics that should interest every service provider. During the three morning sessions, Buddy Mauger, a compliance and training specialist and former State Patrol officer, will bring 23 years of knowledge to discussions of DOT compliance issues. As a police officer, he specialized in Motor Carrier Safety and Hazardous Materials Compliance. Buddy now travels nationwide training drivers and employers on the various state and federal regulations regarding motor carrier compliance and assisting companies with US DOT FMCSA audits. SYSTEM INSPECTIONS The topics he will cover are CSA 2010 Implementation/Impact on Carriers/Drivers, DataQs When and How to Challenge, and US DOT Update/Recent, Upcoming and Proposed Regulations. You cannot afford to miss these sessions. In the afternoon we will take a closer look at onsite system inspections and, specifically, how, when and why a hydraulic load test should be conducted. The afternoon starts off with Frank Parker, who has worked on onsite systems for 32 years. His main focus for 12 to 15 years has been in the real estate sale/inspection arena, serving the southeastern region of Pennsylvania and staying involved in the Pennsylvania Septage Management Associations Inspection Training program. He will discuss what goes into conducting a thorough inspection. Following will be Ray Erb, President of Thomas H. Erb & Sons, Inc., an onlot wastewater treatment system maintenance and installation company located in Pennsylvania. Erb has worked in the onsite industry for 40 years. He will give background on the development of Pennsylvanias standard for hydraulic load tests. The final presentation in the series will be provided by Kitt Farrell-Poe, Extension Professor at the University of Arizona with an assist from Dawn Long who, along with her husband, Don, has operated a pumping and inspection business in Sierra Vista, Ariz., for 15 years. They have worked closely on developing Arizona education programs. Farrell-Poe is participating with the Onsite Wastewater Advisory Committee in Arizona. They will discuss the hydraulic load test and problems they have encountered. The NAWT Education Committee has worked hard to put these two relevant programs together, so we hope to see you all on Education Day.
LAND APPLICATION COMPLIANCE NAWT, in conjunction with COLE Publishing, has scheduled a Tuesday morning series covering aspects of land application to be in compliance with the Federal 503 rules. We have Bill Toffey, executive director of Mid-Atlantic Biosolids Association, leading the session by discussing how to prepare to land-apply. This will be followed by a discussion led by Dave Gustafson, of the University of Minnesota, and Bruce Fox, a popular presenter from last years session, focusing on the land application site from the perspective of the soil and slope conditions and how they impact application rates. This will be followed by a session led by Jim Anderson, NAWT Education Program coordinator, and Fox on crop nutrient requirements and how they are supplied through land application. So look for the NAWT sessions to get the most current information and dont forget to visit the NAWT booth at the Expo.

INDUSTRY NEWS
GapVax owner Gary Poborsky and Paul Teutul Sr. of Orange County Choppers

We would like to start off this year by remembering Mr. Bob Chandler and all that he did for the vacuum tank industry and his own company in Springdale, Arkansas. Chandler Equipment was founded in 1982 by Bobby Joe Chandler and his wife Faye Chandler. Bob & Faye first started Chandler Equipment as an agricultural based company, working out of one warehouse with only 9 employees. As time progressed, so did the vision Bob had for his company. He was known for being an amazing salesman, and proved that in 1992 when Chandler moved into the vacuum tank industry. Not only was he taking on new challenges as a small business owner, he was taking on new industries all together. These new challenges only fueled his drive for success leading his company to growth and success every single year that he held the reins of his booming company. When he was ready to retire in 2007, he passed down the business to his son, Jeff Chandler, and grandson, Chris Chandler, who still run the business currently. Bob was able to build such a strong foundation for his family business that it still continues to flourish to this day, two generations later.
