Homebuilders: Another one bites the dust

Distr ibut ion is v ita l to survival in the food industry, but approaching a grocery chain can be both an intimidating and confusing process for a local supplier looking to take product to market.

Although grocers may be selective, many are looking for local suppliers who can provide quality product and, in certain

instances, cut down on shipping costs.

“When it makes sense, we have a great opportunity to source locally, particularly produce, dairy and meats,” said Brendan Wonnacott, Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market’s director of communication.

Being discovered can be one of the biggest obstacles to overcome for producers.

Local supplier of nuts, dried

fruits, coffee, soups and more, the Sierra Nut House knows the process well. In its more than 40 years of business, it has expanded beyond its two stores in Fresno and has its product in grocery stores up and down the West Coast, throughout New England and in states such as New York and Montana.

Store shelf shuffleProducers offer tips on landing coveted retail space

Family Dollar Stores, Inc. of North Carolina has set an ambitious schedule to open new locations in the Central Va l ley where popu lat ion growth is strong.

The chain, with more than 6 ,800 stores nat ionw ide , currently has no stores in the state, but has targeted more than a dozen Valley locations as potential sites, according to various sources in local municipal government.

Instead of targeting the trendiest districts, Family Dollar appears to be making a play for the small-town consumer who may not want to drive out of town to get a good deal on everyday goods.

The company has contacted city planners to build mostly n e w 8 , 0 0 0 s q u a r e - f o o t stores in Avenal, Coalinga, Wasco, Hanford, Corcoran, Firebaugh, Sanger, Reedley, Pa rl ier, Fresno, Ker ma n , Tulare, Woodlake, Exeter and Farmersville, for starters.

“I look at them as mini Walmarts,” said city planner Greg Collins, who is familiar with the company's plans in Exeter, Woodla ke a nd Fa rmersv i l le . “T hey may b e m o r e c o m m o n t h a n McDonald’s or Starbucks in the future.”

“The new Family Dollar permit will go to the planning commission in the next few week s ,” sa id Tu la re c it y planner Bonnie Simoes, who notes the company wants to build near Highway 99 off of Bardsley Avenue in Tulare.

Family Dollar plans slew of Valley stores

With all the talk of scanty improvement in home sales and an expectation of a solid real estate rebound in the coming years, builders as well as sellers are hardly out of the woods yet.

The filing for bankruptcy last month of La Dante Rose Homes Inc. of Visalia underscores the continuing challenges in the central San Joaquin Valley’s housing market, especially new construction in an era of deflated values and still-high unemployment.

The builder, in bankruptcy court case 11-13524-7, reported assets of nearly $574,000 but a liability of more than $4.92 million, a likely insurmountable

debt. La Dante Rose reported exemptions of $248,800 — property protected from being recouped by creditors.

The firm had sales offices for its Majestic 3 development in Tulare and Majest ic 4 development in Woodlake. Yet messages left at one office for sales manager Ron Grodsky — named with spouse Ellen Grodsky as the debtors — were not returned. The other number gave a disconnected signal.

Fresno attorney Hilton A. Ryder, the firm’s representative in the proceeding, declined to comment on the case.

Despite the si lence, an Internet search revealed that the family homebuilder plied

its trade in the Valley since 1995. The company says it built a modest 50 homes a year on average, specializing in starter homes around 1,200 square feet but also constructing luxury abodes of 4,500 square feet.

“We mainly focus on building the move-up home, which we can offer at an affordable price that is comparably priced to other builders’ entry level homes,” the company’s website said.

Mike Miller, president of the Central Valley division of builder Lennar Homes, said his firm certainly has seen a slowdown since the housing bubble burst.

Collegegraduatesenteringadifficultjobmarket

As always, Central Valley graduates face fierce competition in the job market as they wrap up their studies.

With the effects of the economic downturn gradually waning, fresh young minds are seeking every opportunity to find a rewarding career, even in a job pool that is still hard-pressed to expand.

Job aggregators and online job boards such as Monster.com and CareerBuilder continue to grow in popularity, as do social media sites like LinkedIn and Facebook for connecting job seekers to the right employers.

However, some feel such websites are too co-pious and distant to account for regional needs while providing little instruction in the way of ré-sumé preparation and interviewing tips.

Serving approximately 30,000 job seekers last year through referrals, resources and job skills training, the Fresno Regional Workforce Investment Board (WIB) works alongside seven other Valley WIB’s to display thousands of local job openings via an online database categorized by industry at www.careersinthevalley.com.

Although seasonal or temporary gigs are still being highly sought out by companies loosen-ing their belts just enough for summer swells, Assistant Director Pam Lasseter said she is seeing more this year in the way of specialized positions and college-level work.

“More and more employers now, because of de-mand, are wanting people to submit electronical-ly,” she said. “A lot of employers in these special-ties are posting to (job sites) because they want those graduates to understand the curriculum be-ing taught.”

According to a study last year by the Fresno WIB, more than 10,075 new jobs will be needed by 2013 in Fresno County, 1,480 alone in agribusi-ness and 1,317 in professional and technical occu-pations. While an improvement from a three-year projection of 13,605 in 2007, tight business condi-tions still strain the county with an unemploy-ment rate that tarries above 18%.

Among 1,063 responses in a survey of local em-ployers used in the study, 33% said they were still hesitant to hire due to low sales and financing and low access to cash, while another 22% faulted gov-ernment regulations for hindering investment in staffing.

While remaining committed to placing new flock of grads in the right position, career services centers at Valley colleges also sense employers’ hesitancy while also making significant sacrifices in light of sweeping budget cuts to higher educa-tion across the state.

Angela Barginear, career technician at West Hills College, Lemoore, said the schools’ career connection center has cut out many of its class-

room visits and dropped activities like its Dress for Success workshop and business etiquette lun-cheon. Even its annual career fair last Thursday, with around 60 employers on hand, was less crowded than past years.

“The armed services usually show up and we have none this year,” she said. “A lot of the ad-ministrative justice (employers) like the police . . . none are hiring.”

While many employers may be holding on lon-ger to their seasoned veterans, some light may be on the horizon for new grads. The Bureau of Labor Statistics show that 20- to 24-year-olds saw the largest employment increase over the first three months of 2011 with the number of people in the age group growing by 308,000 or 2.4%.

In a recent survey conducted by CareerBuilder.com among 2,878 U.S. hiring managers and HR professionals, 46% of employers say they plan to hire recent college graduates in 2011, up from 44% in 2010 and 43% in 2009.

Twenty-six percent say they will offer higher starting salaries than they did in 2010, an improve-

ment from 16% who said the same in last year’s survey and 11% in 2009.

Even better news for the Valley is a general tendency for graduates to stay close by after school. Charlezsette Day, job developer with the Employment Resource Center at Fresno City College, said its become more difficult to jump ship considering high gas prices and fewer com-panies subsidizing travel expenses for new hires. Many graduates, she added, will simply take what-ever they can get at the time as long as it bears some semblance to their field of study.

“I tell students an employer is more likely to gather someone up that has educational back-ground and skills than someone that is a journey-men and set in their skills,” Day said.

Fresno law firm of McCormick Barstow, with around 220 local attorneys and support staff, maintains a balanced mix of longtime associates and young attorneys with a program that brings on around four law students each summer as in-

ENTERPRISE LauraLodgeprovidesprofessionalsatemporaryhomeinCoalinga

The Laura Lodge doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the ritzy hotels, but for decades the motel has served the housing needs of professionals who call Coalinga home on a temporary basis.

The Laura Lodge operates under a different business model than most motels. Because Coalinga doesn’t have a strong tourism industry, the lodge doesn’t market to the traditional vacationer looking for a place to stay.

The majority of the lodge’s clients are employees of a drilling company, solar company, Coal inga State Hospital or the Pleasant Valley State Prison who have been given a temporary assignment and need a place to crash.

“They prefer to live here because they check everywhere else and those other motels are not up to standard, and my prices are low,” said Inder Deswal, the owner of the lodge.

The hospital in particular has been a steady source of renters for Deswal.

Depending on thei r speci f ic assignment, Deswal’s clients will stay on average between four months to a year. Occasionally, he’ll have a tenant that will stay as short as a

week.As opposed to most motels or

lodges, Deswal does not have a nightly charge, but a weekly charge. The tenant is charged $175 per week for one person or $225 per week for two people.

“If someone wants to share the room, it comes really cheap,” Deswal said.

A lot of his clients come from within the state, but people from all over the world have stayed at the Laura Lodge. He recalls a time when a man came from Italy to work for the solar company.

“He said, ‘Your place is good, sir,’” Deswal said.

The lodge has been around for more than 50 years, and Deswal finalized the purchase of the lodge in 2008.

Deswal obtained a small business loan, but also turned to family members for additional financial backing.

The lodge was in need of serious renovations that included, among other things, replacing the wiring and upstairs walkway, painting the interior and exterior and installing a new fire alarm system.

The renovation also made it one of the nicer motels in Coalinga, and the lodge sells itself, Deswal said.

“I’m not asking anyone to come here,” Deswal explained. “When they see the rooms, they decide to stay here.”

But with a l l the renovations, Deswal elected to keep the Laura Lodge sign in front of the motel, which is the same sign as the day the lodge opened over 50 years ago.

The University of California, Merced’s Small Business Development Center recently recognized the Laura Lodge with a 2011 Small Business Award in the category of Family Owned Business.

found the best way to get a foot in the door is to allow distributors to sample its wares.

“Once they try our product, they are amazed how good it is,” said Jennifer Jones, co-owner of the Sierra Nut House. “Any opportunity we have to allow them to sample our product is great.”

Jones is particularly fond of trade shows, which she credits for being responsible for establishing the brand so strongly on the East Coast.

Last month local companies such as Deb’s Gourmet, Valley Lahvosh Baking Co. and Busy Bee Honey Farm presented their products to chefs, hotels, supermarkets and distributors from across the country at the Fresno Food Expo.

The event put a variety of local companies in front of some big-time buyers.

Wonnacott said Fresh & Easy finds a small amount of its product at trade shows, but finds a larger portion through word of mouth.

“We have a nice network of suppliers and partners that we work very closely with,” Wonnacott said.

National chain Whole Foods uses local farmers’ markets as a sort of minor-league system to find new products and also as a means for suppliers to fine-tune their product before it’s ready to go to market.

But finding out how to get the

attention of the distributors may require some research.

“Ask a lot of questions,” recommends Jones. “The more educated you can be, the better off the chances are you’ll get into the chain.”

One of those first questions may be which person specifically to talk with. Finding that individual can be difficult at times.

“They like to keep their buyers’ info almost top secret,” Jones said.

Whole Foods has made an emphasis of putting its buyers in the sunlight.

“You can walk into a local Whole Foods and ask to meet with the buyer to set up an appointment to present your product,” said Harv Singh, Whole Foods’ local forager for the Northern California region, based out of Emeryville. “If the buyer wants to bring it in, they can work with the supplier at the regional level.”

“It creates ownership, and the buyers get really excited by encouraging the local vendor relationship. The stores are really connected to their communities, and the communities are connected to their stores.”

Singh estimates during the peak-growing season of the year, 60% of the product at a typical Whole Foods comes from local suppliers.

K nowing the loca l laws and regulations is vital.

When the Sierra Nut House began exporting to Canada, it ran into complications with the government.

There was an issue with the label on

“In ’06 we were doing a thousand, twelve-hundred homes. That was just from Tulare to Fresno. Now we’re pushing about four-fifty from Bakersfield to Fresno.”

He said the new home market has evolved from a trend in 2,300-square-foot, big-box, two story homes built for move-up and investment buyers to pockets of 1,300- to 2,200-square-foot, single story starter homes.

Fueling that is competition from existing homes, including heavy pressure from back-to-bank properties.

“There is a supply issue,” Miller said, “not necessarily new homes but just the quantity of the foreclosures that are still occurring out there. We have to compete with the resale market.”

He expects the foreclosure glut to finally ease into a “more normalized market” by 2014 or 2015. “We should start seeing recovery before then,” he said. “It’s going to be incremental. There’s not going to be a light switch that turns on.”

Some builders that have kept afloat have taken on developments abandoned by defunct players. Lennar bought two tracts of finished lots from Porterville-based Ennis Homes, which went bankrupt in 2009 and emerged from the status without, apparently, returning to business.

Calls to president and founder Ben Ennis seeking comment were not returned.

Lennar plans to demolish 90% of the partly built homes that stand on Ennis’ 80 sites in Visalia and 81 in Tulare before building its own models in their place, Miller said, to “kind of clean up the blight.”

“It saddens me to see bui lders , fel low businesspeople, going under,” he said. “There are less people employed, less money flowing through the economy.”

Florsheim Homes LLC of Ceres has faced its own challenges, though it has been building in the recovering Manteca area and recently branched out of California for the first time to the Reno, Nev., market. President and CEO Joe Anfuso said the Modesto market is still soft.

“It’s been tough. Our ability to survive was really our ability to see what was going to happen,” he said.

“I didn’t imagine it was going to take a decrease as much as it did. We made sure we could liquidate out of positions we didn’t want to be in, and planned to reduce our debt load and bring prices down.”

Additionally, the builder recently took on the job of finishing nine units in a north Fresno development left incomplete by developer Patriot Homes, which went bankrupt last year and also left a Clovis subdivision unfinished.

“It’s not a Florsheim project,” Anfuso said. “These are just resale projects. We finish them off under a separate LLC. We didn’t lay the foundation or pull permits.” The Fresno homes are for sale through Escala Properties.

Anfuso said his firm did about 100 houses last year, “down considerably” from the builder’s volume five years ago. The firm typically does 1,500- to 2,000-square-foot, entry-level domiciles, with Central Valley price points from $130,000 to the low $200,000s.

Darius Assemi, president of Fresno-centered Granville Homes, said he is encouraged by consumer confidence edging slightly up and unemployment stats finally trending down, yet said builders are “still skimming the bottom.”

“We’re seeing homeowners walk away from their homes,” he noted, saying however that he looks forward to a summer or fall rebound in big-ticket buying.

When the housing recovery is firmly on track, he said there could be a dearth of supply in growing Fresno, which added about 6,700 people per year from 2000 to 2010 but saw an insufficient number of living units being added, perhaps 1,200 to 1,300 for an average household of about three people.

“There’s a shortage,” Assemi said. “There’s going to be a pent-up demand in the market. From 1995 to 1998, we didn’t produce a lot of homes. That’s why we had that boom in 2000.

“Fresno County is still growing at the same rate as before, but the supply of housing is not there. Buyers aren’t buying, so developers aren’t developing. Someday they’ll catch up two or three years down the road.”

Regarding La Dante Rose, he said. “I’m sorry to hear they had to file for bankruptcy. That’s never a pleasant thing for their staff and their

subcontractors.”The ripple effect from the housing downturn

has claimed satellite businesses as well, including Fresno’s Merzon Industries, which in 2006 employed about 100 people to fabricate windows and patio doors but started laying people off steadily to zero employees today.

“We’re no longer producing windows,” said Merzon President Patrick Redell. “We have all of our factory equipment for sale. For two years we did replacement window market sales. We’re trying to evolve into a dealer of other window brands.”

While he looks forward to contributing to an “up out of the ashes” article, he said the goal has been elusive for the last four years. “Manufacturing in California in general has really taken it on the chin,” he said.

“The market’s going to continue to be challenging,” Anfuso said. “It’s not going to be a decent market for homebuilding any time soon. The Valley was hit hard. All you can do is try to find different opportunities and capitalize when you can.”

Yet despite dimmed fortunes in recent years, he said, “There’s always been a buyer at the right price.”

the packaging, and Canadian officials decided to go further in depth with the product and test it. Ultimately, the Sierra Nut House added an additional sticker to the package to address the issue.

The grocery stores will also have quality standards, and natural food stores will have specific requirements or restrictions about things such as ingredients, artificial colors and preservatives.

Another consideration is the practice of “free fill” that has become standard with most of the grocery industry, where the store requires a certain amount of free product for it to be placed on the shelf.

Whole Foods is one of the exceptions that does not require free fill for local vendors.

“We try to make it really easy for local suppliers,” Singh said. “We even take a margin cut for local producers.”

Whole Foods has also instituted a local producer loan program to

help these companies scale up their business. At this point, the program has resulted in close to $900,000 in loans to 16 producers in the Northern California region.

“The program really does help companies scale up their business to place their product in multiple stores, and sometimes multiple regions,” Singh said.

The program was designed mostly for existing suppliers, but Singh feels a lack of outreach and publicity has kept it from being fully utilized. Singh said there haven’t been any applicants for the program from the Central Valley.

“But I would love to see some,” Singh said.

He says local suppliers can contact him about the program or about a product they would like to put on the shelves by email at Harvindar.Singh@wholefoods.com.

RETAILMercedes dealership in local hands

Mercedes-Benz of Fresno has been acquired from a publicly traded ownership group by Scott Biehl, the dealership's general manager.

Biehl bought the dealership from Georgia-based Asbury Automotive Group, one of the country's largest automotive retailers. The terms of the deal were not disclosed. Asbury Automotive Group hired Biehl as general manager when it acquired the dealership in 2003.

Biehl said he plans to keep the current management staff on board.

"My customers and staff are very pleased to have Mercedes-Benz of Fresno back as a locally owned and operated dealership," Biehl said in a statement.

Biehl is a third-generation Fresnan who has worked his entire 24-year automotive career in the Fresno market, starting in 1987 as a salesman.

HEALTH CAREDental offices acquired

Four Valley dental offices are included in a sale of assets by Santa Ana-based SmileCare to Coast Dental Services, Inc., which is based in Tampa, Fla.

Coast Dental Services has entered an agreement to acquire 57 of SmileCare's dental practices in California, Nevada and Texas that employ 1,200 staff members, including 130 dentists. Three of those practices are in Fresno, with another in Clovis, according to the SmileCare website.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The transaction is subject to approval by the California Department of Managed Health Care.

The acquisition gives Coast Dental — with its 125 dental practices in Florida and Georgia — its first foray into the Western U.S. It also makes it the fifth-largest dental provider in the U.S. with 182 affiliated practices and 2,200 employees. The SmileCare dental centers will continue to operate under the SmileCare name.

TRANSPORTATIONRail could traverse Grapevine

The California High Speed Rail Authority will reintroduce a study to route the proposed bullet trains over the Interstate 5-Grapevine corridor from Bakersfield to Sylmar if the board approves the study at its May 5 meeting (after The Business Journal’s press time)

The Grapevine alignment had previously been discarded in favor of a route through Soledad Canyon over the Tehachapi Mountains crossing further to the east. That route would pass through Antelope Valley to Palmdale and on to Los Angeles. In earlier studies, the Grapevine route was dropped from consideration due to seismic issues and perceived high costs along I-5.

But after further study, the Authority operations committee is suggesting a new look at the I-5 corridor that could cut costs of this leg of the statewide system by “billions,” according to a staff report.

Sequoia Shuttle sees spring successFor its first year of providing

The students of Porterville High School, along with staff and representatives of Porterville Unified School District, will be assisting the nonprofit GRID Alternatives as they install the system at Casas Buena Vista, an affordable housing development located off Orange Avenue.

The installation, to last from 10 a.m. to noon, will provide instruction to the students about the benefits of renewable energy while GRID Alternatives staff will be on hand to answer any questions from the public.

Since piloting the Solar Affordable Housing Program (SASH) in 2004, GRID Alternatives has installed more than 889 solar electric systems with low-income families throughout Northern and Southern California.

Areva sees sales jumpAreva, the French energy firm

working to build nuclear reactors in Fresno County, announced first quarter sales of 2 billion euro, or about $3 billion — a 2.2% jump compared to last year.

Areva's front-end division, which includes services such as uranium mining and enrichment, saw sales of 802 million euro (about $1.2 billion) for the quarter, up 19%. Its nuclear rector building and nuclear waste treatment operation saw sales fall about 4.6% to 739 million euro ($1.1 billion).

The company said that it is reviewing the impact on its operations of the March disaster at Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. It is also reviewing its forecasts for 2011 and 2012.

At the end of March, Areva and the Fresno Nuclear Energy Group signed an agreement to begin preliminary work on a solar-thermal energy plant to be part of a "Clean Energy Park" west of Fresno. Plans for the park also include water desalination facilities and two 1,600-megawatt nuclear reactors.

ENERGYSurvey: Business confidence growing

Not only do area businesses still see more good times ahead, their optimism continues to grow stronger, according to the San Joaquin Valley Business Conditions Index, which increased in April for the fourth straight month.

The index, produced by research associate Dr. Ernie Goss with the Craig School of Business at California State University, Fresno surveys a number of Valley businesses to find their outlook for the future.

The leading economic indicator rated at 56.7 in April, compared with 55.4 the month before. The index is not a percentage, and anything above 50 indicates expansion.

Astone Thielen agency rebrands

Astone Thielen, the merger of top-shelf Fresno advertising firms Thielen Ideacorp and Astone, announced the combined firm’s official rebranding as Catalyst Marketing Company.

President Mike Thielen said the identity shift is a strategy to achieve greater “statewide influence” and broaden the firm’s appeal to major markets unfamiliar with the names Thielen or Mark Astone, CEO of Catalyst.

“The name Catalyst is symbolic of how we see ourselves now,” Thielen said today by phone. “We’re trying to facilitate positive change, to accelerate our clients’ brands in a situation where they can reach their full potential.

“Our mission has really been results-oriented on behalf of our clients. We’ve got the industry expertise and strategic thinking to deliver a multifaceted campaign with greater speed than we could before.”

The same talking points can be found in a statement mailed to clients on newly branded letterhead regarding the name change.

While Central Valley businesses are familiar with the names of Catalyst’s two top executives, who merged their companies late last year, Thielen said the fresh moniker will enable the company to better court clients in the Bay, Los Angeles and San Diego areas and to become a California-wide marketing force.

“We looked at a lot of names,” he said. “You kind of challenge your creative director to see, ‘Who are we.’”

Après sale — the real test of a successful sales professional

The average sale takes a matter of hours. And that’s where 95% of sales training

is focused. Not good.After a customer

purchases, that’s when USE of product or service begins, and that’s where 95% of their time is spent.

• What are you doing to create loyalty?

• What are you doing to create word-of-mouth advertising?

• What are you doing to create value in the mind of the customer?

• What are you doing to create memorable moments?

• What is your social media presence that focuses on customer communication and interaction?

• What are you doing to create and ensure reorders?

• What are you doing to earn referrals?

• What are you doing to build a value-based relationship after the sale?

• What are you doing to ensure it’s easy to do business with you?

• What are you doing to ensure that everyone who answers your phone is happy, friendly, and helpful?

• What type of customer service and customer loyalty training are you doing that ensures consistent, positive, helpful responses?

ANSWER: Nothing or not enough.MAJOR CLUE: These questions

are the HEART of your future. And for the most part, the answers are way below an acceptable level to ensure your future success.

REALITY: It’s likely that your present actions will ensure that you’ll have significant customer attrition, or churn, or some other BS corporate buzzword that will cost major dollars in lost customers, and further ensure that your sales team will have to sell more than last year just to maintain present sales levels.

Many companies employ the “Hunter-Farmer” strategy in making sales. One person makes the sale, and immediately turns it over to some service person (often with little or no personal handoff), and heads for the next sale.

MAJOR CLUE: THERE IS NO DUMBER SALES STRATEGY THAN HUNTER-FARMER — other than cold calling.

The hunter-farmer strategy creates a vacuum between what was promised and what will be delivered. And the “hunter” has to continually prospect and cold call to make new sales rather than cultivate an existing relationship and earn referrals.

For the past three years, I have asked my corporate and public seminar audiences this question: What ten things are you doing

AFTER the sale to ensure loyalty, reorders, referrals, and reputation.

99.9% give me a blank stare.Okay, so what can you do and

what should you be doing to make certain that you are keeping the customers you have in a manner that THEY value? Or better stated: What happens after the sale?

Here are a few suggestions for what to do… (CAUTION: They require work.)

• Send a weekly value message. My email magazine, Sales Caffeine, is the most effective communication tool to send a weekly value message to every one of my customers. It’s now almost 500 issues strong. IDEA: Read a business book and send your customers your review with salient points of value.

• Enhance your social media effort. By setting a full-blown, VALUE-BASED business social media campaign in motion, your customers will have the chance to learn about you and get your messages, and you will have a chance to learn about them and get their messages. Examples of value-based message: If you sell health insurance, tell me how to avoid common colds or keep my kids healthy.

• Help their social media effort. Your customers could gain insight from your social media effort, and visit you to learn and emulate. You have to set the example, then set the standard, and then invite your customers to study your strategies to help their success.

• Share ideas that can benefit your customers. Not offers to buy your product.

• Share observations and tips. When you visit other businesses, become aware of things other successful businesses do, note them, and post about them.

• Bring several customers together for a monthly mastermind meeting. Be the pivot person that brings together value-based meetings.

• Refer customers. The best way to get referrals is GIVE referrals.

• Do business with them. Go out of your way to patronize those that feed you.

Every business wants re-orders, every business wants loyal customers, and every business wants to have a great reputation. The question to ask yourself is, “What (of value) am I doing about it?”

What you do after the sale determines the next sale, and a whole lot more.

terns before they pass their bar exam and ap-peal for a permanent place in the company’s ranks.

“It’s a nice fluid program where we get to find them and train them and see if they have the chops that they said they do,” said the firm’s recruiting specialist Elizabeth Betts. “It’s our main way of growing our firm. That’s how we continue to hire and build from the bottom.”

Perhaps nowhere does the draw for jobs seem more magnetic and critical than in the health care field. A report late last year by the by the Valley Coalition for UC Merced Medical School said the Central Valley has 31% fewer primary care physicians and 51% fewer specialists per capita than California as a whole, which faces a 17,000 doctor shortage in five years.

Registered Nurses made up the bulk of job postings through the Fresno Regional Workforce Investment Board at 289 in a 24-hour period, while the number of degrees awarded to nursing majors at California State University, Fresno moved from 153 in 2005 to 226 last year.

But sure enough as interest in the medi-cal trades grow, hospitals and clinics in the Valley find themselves full to capacity with nurses, assistants and administrators all the way up to doctors and specialists.

“With the economy, the nurses that were going to retire have stayed on and the nurses that were part time have gone full time, so the new graduates are not getting jobs as quick-ly, but they are getting jobs,” said Dr. Mike Russler, chair of the nursing department at Fresno State. “There still is a gap, and it’s a serious issue that we can’t let down and say we don’t need them right now.”

Many grads are also clamoring for high-paying positions in IT, ranging from comput-

er programming and website development to network setup and data management.

Fresno consumer survey company Decipher recently announced its need for 20 to 40 skilled workers as it expanded into the former Gottschalks corporate headquar-ters after growing from two employees to 110 since moving to the city nearly a decade ago.

Fresno State computer programming stu-dent Angela Dominguez was one of those that showed up at the welcoming ceremony for the company last week, dropping off her résumé after hearing one of her instructors make the announcement in class about the expansion.

Although it was her first real attempt at find-ing work leading up to her graduation in May, Dominguez said her goal, at least for now, is simply competing for experience in a field al-ready equipped with seasoned professionals

“I think my experience level is low so that’s going to hurt me compared to people in the industry right now,” Dominguez said. “Right now I’m just trying to find something local so I can get some experience.”

However, filling employment holes in any industry is often stymied by the lack of qualified applicants for professional posi-tions. Fresno exemplified that dilemma in a February Washington Post article describ-ing a city with thousands of job openings yet claiming one of the nation’s highest un-employment rates. In the article, managers at the 7,000-employee Community Medical Centers of Fresno stated they couldn’t find enough qualified technicians, therapists or even custodians willing and able to work with medical waste.

Nationwide, there are 4.6 jobless Americans for each opening, according to the Labor Department.

In larger towns such as Visalia, Bakersfield and Fresno, Family Dollar is scouting multiple locations to open. In Hanford, Barbara McCurdy Marty, economic development director, said Family Dollar’s agent is evaluating several sites in town.

Sources say the retailer is also looking at the Tulare County town of Lindsay, but the city planner said he couldn’t talk about it.

The retailer prefers to build stand-alone stores, although in some towns they fill existing vacant space. In Sanger, the retailer is already remodeling an existing building, according to the planning department.

Sanger officials who attended a presentation by the retailer hosted by the Economic Development Commission serving Fresno County said the chain plans as many as 1,000 stores in the state, and is working on eight in Fresno alone, said Dan Spears, Sanger economic development manager.

The discounter sells apparel, beauty products, home goods and food. Approximately 90% of Family Dollar’s products cost less than $10.

Family Dollar has embarked on an aggressive growth strategy, with plans to open 300 new stores in 2011. Revenue in 2009 was $7.4 billion. Each store employs just seven workers.

Many of the new openings will be on the West Coast, where Family Dollar expects to build a new distribution center.

More recently, Family Dollar, based in Charlotte, N.C., reported that net income for the quarter ended Feb. 26 rose 10% to $123.2 million, compared with $112.2 million a year earlier. Revenue increased 8% to $2.26 billion from $2.09 billion. Same-store sales, among locations open at least a year, rose 5.1%.

In March, Family Dollar declined an approximately $7 billion buyout offer from minority shareholder Nelson Peltz's Trian Fund. Family Dollar officials said in a press release that the bid “substantially undervalues the company.”

Family Dollar stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol FDO. At close of market Tuesday, a share was valued at $53.78, with a one-year high price of $55.62.

What’s your background in construction and how did that lead to founding DMOTS Construction?I got into the building construction industry as a remodeler back in 1975-76 when I graduated high school. I worked as a draftsman in an office drawing their plans and doing their modeling, and that’s where I started getting my experience. I had some education in my background, but branding yourself and getting a name or logo that people can identify with was something that was stuck in my mind from all of my training. So I knew if I was going to be doing something in the industry, people needed to know who I am with a brand or logo they identify with.Dmots Custom and Remodeling Repair, Inc. was my original corporate name when I started years ago. I incorporated in 2005 for purposes of insurance and protection. I got a DBA as Dmots so that way I could do Dmots Construction in general because there are a lot of things I do.

What led you to offer OutBack Steel Buildings?I wanted to get into something a little simpler and easier because remodeling can be extremely complicated, and it’s very competitive. There are very few really good guys out there, so there’s not a big market that would pay good money to do what I do. And it’s hard to find good employees that care about their job. So over the years I decided I wanted to find something that’s in the same line as my business field, but a little easier. I’m getting older. I can’t go out there and do the hard work anymore, so I wanted to get into the steel building business. I got burnt by a couple companies really bad so it was a hard lesson to learn about the steel building industry, but I was determined that I was going to still give it a go. I fell across Outback Steel Buildings a couple years ago through another dealer down south, and their concept was unique and different.

What kind of marketing do you do to get steel buildings and other products in the public eye?Most of it is word of mouth right now. I just started an ad campaign. I have my website up and running. There are a couple lead companies that specifically search leads for people looking for building quotes. This one company through Outback had good leads and I figured they’re affordable. So I’m getting leads on a regular basis just for people to talk to and give quotes to.

Do you feel like the construction industry is improving in the Valley and what is driving that?No, it’s not improving. There is commercial work out there because of grants and federal money, and businesses taking advantage of the economy being down, trying spin their investment money to keep going, but it’s a very tight market. Guys are giving themselves away and losing money on bids, and there’s no money to be made out there unless you have money. There is some work. I’ve been staying busy, but I don’t see it turning around that much.

You describe your company as an energy efficient builder. Talk about that aspect of the business?I’m an energy efficiency nut. I’ve done a lot of energy building. I started with infrared technology 10-plus years ago to combat what people are fighting out there. There are guys out there that will sell anything and people are buying things they don’t need. I began to realize that I need to prove to these people that there are some things you need to do first, so I got heavily involved in the energy market and how to make the home tighter and more energy efficient. I just connected with people back East and did a lot of research. I started recommending better insulation, sealing homes, better windows and doors, sealing all the air pockets up. I wanted to tell my customer if you’re buying insulation, why are you buying it? What’s it going to do? How much are you spending on it? Is that the best bang for your buck?

What are your roots in the San Joaquin Valley?I was born and raised in Fresno. Moved out to Sanger in 1969 with my family and lived out there ever since. I’ve lived in the country for the most part, so I’m native here. Been here all my life.

What was your first job and what did you learn from it?At 14 years of age I became a dishwasher and a bus boy in a small restaurant in Sanger for my mother when she was a waitress there. They did not have bus boys or dishwashers there. The waitresses had to do their own dishes, so my mother talked them into hiring me to bus her tables and wash her dishes. I got paid $1.35 an hour. My mother convinced the owner that if he would hire a bus boy and dishwasher to bus their tables, the waitresses could do a better job serving customers, and they would share their tips with me. I learned hard work. You do a good job and you’ll get paid and rewarded for it, and it was nice to see a check at the end of the week. It was nothing, but to me, it was everything.

INSIDE 15 What's old is new again

Firefighters tend to be supporters of any innovation that spares people from being consumed by smoke and fire. After all, they have to face the consequences of a blaze

unflinchingly. On the other hand, any additional regulation for

smoke alarms or sprinkler systems on builders is typically decried as imposition that adds costs to construction that get passed onto buyers and, in this market, potentially discourages consumers.

Is there a middle ground? It turns out many in-surers offer a discount on homeowner policies when the structure has a now-mandatory integrat-ed smoke detector system and a sprinkler system.

“For a fully protected house, some of our mem-bers offer discounts of up to 10%,” said Tully Lehman of the Insurance Information Network of California. The Los Angeles-based group counts Allstate, Farmers Insurance Group, MetLife, State Farm Insurance and others as members.

He said around 60% of companies in the group offer a 5% to 10% break on policy costs for a sprin-

kler system that costs between 74 cents and $1.84 per square foot, according to fire officials. Con-struction spokesmen argue the cost can exceed $2 per square foot to be installed, adding $4,000 to the cost of an average new home.

A California rule that went into effect Jan. 1 re-quires fire suppression sprinklers in the living areas of all newly built single family and manu-factured homes, prefab homes that are assembled piece by piece on site.

Lee Kraft, interim fire chief for the Clovis Fire Department, said statistics he got from the Califor-nia Building Industry Association, plus such Fres-no-area homebuilders as Wilson Homes, Wathen-Castanos Inc. and DeYoung Properties, is that the typical range for a mandatory sprinkler system is $1.21 to $1.84 per square feet.

“Of course they pass it on to the homebuyer,” he said, noting of builders and plumbing subcontrac-tors, “They’re also hit with all kinds of code chang-es, Title 24 for greener homes, tighter homes with dual- or triple-pane windows. When the economy is struggling, to put an affordable home on the market is challenging.”

Yet he said the human value of fire suppression is an incalculable value for the cost of enhanced safety measures such as sprinklers.

“It’s designed to ‘wetten’ the walls, to keep the fire in its incipient stage, allowing egress for the occupants,” he said. “In our world, if everyone gets out safely, it’s a save, even if we lose the $350,000 house. We’re in the life business first and the prop-erty business second. I could talk to you all day about residential sprinklers. I’m passionate about it.”

There are two types of systems that builders can go with, he said. A multipurpose system is hooked up to the domestic potable water supply and “looped” into the attic. “If your toilet flushes, you know you have water,” he said. “If your washer or dishwasher is working, you know you have a hot system.”

That version involves Aquapex tubing, which comes in a single roll and does not require the in-staller to cut, clean, glue or dry pieces. The mate-rial is more costly than the alternative, but labor

Clovis firefighters receive training on home-based fire suppression sprinklers. The devices are now mandatory in all new homes, which builders say adds to the cost of building. The cost is passed down to buyers.

costs are cheaper, Kraft said. The other option is a standalone

system that uses orange CPVC pipe, which involves cutting and gluing to build the hose system. The ar-rangement also requires a backflow protector to keep potentially stag-nant water from flowing back to the municipal supply. A backflow device might cost $80 to $280.

Michael Prandini, president and CEO of the Building Industry of Fres-no and Madera Counties, said many homebuilders figure an integrated smoke alarm system should be suf-ficient. Those are wired together in living areas so that if one alarm goes off, they all do.

He said the new sprinkler rule, while presenting an additional cost for buyers, is just one more add-on in

an already challenging state to build in.

“It’s not really an issue for the builder,” he said. “It just makes it a little more expensive. You have to add all of these little issues up, devel-opment impact fees — your park fee, water fee, sewer fee, lease facility fee, street fee, traffic signal fee — they’ve got a lot of capital impact fees that go to the city to provide infrastructure to serve those developments.”

Add in the requirement for a car-bon monoxide detector and the rising cost of oil, an ingredient in asphalt, and consumers can see why the housing market bust coupled with development costs puts a squeeze on housing growth.

As for the sprinklers, Prandini said, “It just costs more money. The fire safety people say it’s required to get people out of the house. That’s

what the smoke alarm system is for.”To answer that argument, Kraft

noted a side-by-side video dem-onstration that shows how fast a sprinkler system can suppress or extinguish a fire. The video can be found on the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition’s website at http://www.homefiresprinkler.org/videos/Side-by-Side-Burn.html .

“It’s a time and temperature curve,” Kraft said of how fast and powerful a blaze can grow. “It doubles in size ev-ery 45 seconds.” While he said sprin-klers are mostly intended to give people extra time to escape a house on fire, “In 90% of situations it will put the fire out.”

The devices activate at a temperate of 155 degrees and dispense 13 gallons of water per minute. “That’s really easy to overwhelm,” Kraft said of an arson job that involves accelerant. He

said a fire hose brought to the scene issues 130 to 150 gallons per minute.

Minutes count, and Kraft said dis-covering the fire, calling 9-1-1, getting the emergency processed and getting firefighters to the incident can add up to eight or nine minutes, long enough for a blaze to get “fully involved.”

While he understands reservations held by builders and subcontractors about added costs, he said “fire safe homes” are a new marketing strate-gy for sellers as well and, ultimately, will become the industry standard in California, if not the rest of the na-tion.

“Five years from now, you’ll look back, and buying a home without sprinklers would be like buying a car without air bags.”

Ripping out old construction work, known as demolition, now focuses on “deconstruction” — recycling building materials and even nearby landscaping.

A visible example in downtown Fresno is new residential and com-mercial development around Broad-way and Divisadero streets, where Tim Schulv and his business, ReVive Industries, helped clear the way for developer Reza Assemi. Schulv re-covered old materials for reuse, and in the process saved hauling and dumping fees.

“I’m taking materials that some might consider trash,” Schulv said last week. “I use recovered steel, glass, all sorts of stuff.”

ReVive Industries builds custom art, furniture and accessories from the recovered materials.

ReVive Industries isn’t alone. Oth-er Central California “deconstruc-tion” specialists emphasize recy-cling as a way of saving money. The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, or CalRe-cycle, list of recyclables includes lumber, drywall, metals, masonry (brick, concrete etc.) carpet, plastic, pipe, rocks, dirt, paper, cardboard and green waste related to land de-velopment.

Recycling studies in 2004 report-edly found that waste materials from demolition amounted to 22% of the state’s waste stream.

Rather than demolition of an en-tire building, the state encourages carefully taking apart portions of old buildings or removing their con-tents with reuse as a primary goal.

Schulv said he recovered hard-ware, doors and “some porch col-umns” from a future residential lofts site near Broadway and Calaveras streets. Recovered wood has also gone into counterwork in the Iron Bird Lofts, he said.

“I recovered a majority of the old lumber,” Schulv said about the downtown development sites. “To

date, I’ve built two dining room ta-bles, a buffet, kitchen table.”

Fresno-based Caglia Demolition and Recycling Company is family-owned and has been in the waste disposal and recycling business since 1939. Recycling becomes nec-essary to save on disposal costs, General Manager Nathan Caglia said last week.

“The more we can do on-site, the less we have to truck to landfills and pay disposal fees,” Caglia said.

The Caglias have become known for salvaging historical items. Asked a few years ago about demolishing the old Warners Theater on Fulton Street in downtown Fresno, the Ca-glias decided to instead preserve it as the still-active Warnor’s Theatre.

“We’ll salvage it,” Caglia said about historic materials that may be encountered at Fresno deconstruc-tion sites.

The historic items could either be taken to a family warehouse or do-nated to the Fresno Historical Soci-ety.

Salvaged electrical components could also be taken to another fam-ily-owned long-time Fresno busi-ness, the Electric Motor Shop, Ca-glia said.

Hazardous materials like lead and asbestos, both found in older struc-tures, sometimes require subcon-tractors.

“We do a lot ... all in-house,” Ca-glia said.

One deconstruction job for the Caglia company involved the old Fresno Unified School District maintenance facility on Kings Can-yon Road at 8th Street. There was a lot of recyclable steel, but nothing historic. Most of the material from the site was recycled, Caglia said.

Caglia Demolition and Recycling

Company lists building demolition, land clearing, concrete sawing and drilling, excavation, on-site crush-ing as well as recycling. A sister-company, Cedar Avenue Recycling and Transfer, “owns and operates a state-of-the-art construction and demolition debris sort line.”

“CARTS is able to recycle over 60% and up to 80% of that material, saving landfill space,” the Caglia website notes.

A portable crusher is pictured working a few years ago on another Caglia project inside Yosemite Na-tional Park, recycling asphalt and concrete.

“We were able to reuse the crushed material back on the same project and save hundreds of truck trips in and out of the park,” the cap-tion notes. “The plant can be set up and crushing concrete in less than three hours.”

Web Poll

Opinion

Every now and then, some-thing really good happens in Washington, D.C. Every now

and then, wrongs are righted and common sense prevails.

Last month, there was a mo-ment of logical resolution in Washington that didn’t make big headlines, but it should have because it was a major victory

for America’s job creators: small-business owners.

On April 14th, President Obama signed a bill that repeals a small piece of the massive health-care reform law. The provision would have forced the nation’s small-busi-ness owners to spend an inordinate amount of time helping the IRS fill the so-called ‘tax gap’ — taxes that go uncollected for various reasons. By requiring every small busi-ness to file an IRS 1099 form for business-to-business transactions totaling $600 or more over the course of one year, the government hoped to catch enough otherwise-

unreported revenue to contribute to payment for the colossal cost of the health-care law.

Talk about add-ing insult to injury. The health-care law had already injured small-busi-ness owners with requirements that promised to in-crease the cost of health insurance, when reducing that cost has been the No. 1 concern of the small-busi-ness community for years. The addition of a regula-tory paperwork burden that would disproportionately impact the smallest firms was an added slap in the face.

The “1099 provision” was so il-logical, and so burdensome, that it was quickly identified as a must-re-peal not long after the health-care law was signed into law last spring. Everyone — from the president himself to congressional Republi-cans and Democrats — agreed that inclusion of this money-grabbing provision was an embarrassing gaffe and it simply had to go. The

Opinion

Congress answered the cry of main street (this time)National Federation of Indepen-dent Business — the nation’s larg-est small-business advocacy group

— bore down on Congress to make sure they followed through with their promises of repeal.

The ultimate de-mise of the wicked 1099 provision is great news, but it wasn’t quite a tidy story-book end-ing. It took Con-gress more than six months to get

this simple job done. They lingered over it, savoring the repeal effort in a way that only a politician can, knowing that claiming credit for slaying this paperwork dragon would make for great campaign talking points down the road. The process was deliberately prolonged by casting multiple votes for sym-bolic bills before voting on a piece of legislation that actually guaran-

teed repeal. Meanwhile, Main Street waited.

And NFIB kept the pressure on. And we did win. Washington did

listen this time, and they need to keep on listening to small busi-ness. After all, no other sector of the economy has the power to put our country back on strong eco-nomic footing. Small businesses create two-thirds of net new jobs and generate roughly half of the privately-generated GDP.

The story of the 1099 provision was a reminder of two important facts. One: when left unchecked, government has a tendency to hurt, rather than help, America’s small businesses. Two: when the small business community says “enough!” politicians will listen. Sometimes we just need to shout it a little louder. And we are.

Dan Danner is president and CEO of the National Federation of Independent Business, which represents 350,000 small-business owners in Washington, D.C. and every state capitol.

A California Chamber of Commerce-supported bill that allows the collection of personal information including zip codes in legitimate business transactions, won unanimous approval from an Assembly committee this week.

AB 1219 from Henry T. Perea (D-Fresno) stems from the case of Pineda v. Williams-Sonoma Stores, Inc., in which the California Supreme Court deemed zip codes to be personal information under the state credit card regulations, thus prohibiting collection even if used for fraud prevention.

The bill makes clarifying changes to a provision of the Song Beverly Credit Card Act of 1971. One section of that act defines certain information as “personal identification information” (PII) and limits when PII can be collected as part of a credit card transaction.

AB 1219 makes clear that the restrictions on collecting PII apply when the cardholder physically presents an electronically readable credit card to an employee in order to complete his or her transaction.

In Pineda, the California Supreme Court ruled that a zip code constitutes PII under the Song Beverly Credit Card Act. According to the decision, a retailer may violate the act by requesting and recording a customer’s zip code in conjunction with a credit card purchase.

Since the Pineda decision was handed down in February, more than 150 class action suits have been filed against retailers in California. Many of those retailers were collecting zip codes for legitimate reasons that should be allowable under the law.

For example, some retailers have been sued simply for collecting zip codes when the customer placed an order online and the zip code was needed for delivery. Others have been sued when they were only collecting the zip code in order to reduce the likelihood of fraud or identity theft.

The purpose of AB 1219 is to continue to limit the collection of PII while still allowing and recognizing the legitimate business need for a retailer to use PII to appropriately process and complete all components of a customer transaction. AB 1219 also will help to address the potential for identity theft in situations where the person or functioning card is not present.

The California Chamber of Commerce represents 15,000 member businesses.

WIll rISInG GAS prIcES STAll ThE coUnTry’S EconomIc rEcoVEry?

An exclamatory 93% of respondents to last week’s poll by The Business Journal believe gas prices heading toward $5 per gallon will hurt the country’s economic recovery. About 7% said the surge in fossil fuel prices will not hamper the nation’s bounce back from recession. Less than one respondent, statistically, was undecided. One-hundred and thirty-three people took part in the poll.

92.5% Yes, high gas prices hurt tourism, travel and other consumer spending

6.8% No, we have turned a corner, and gas prices will play a smaller role in the recover 0.7% Undecided

The “1099 provision” was so illogical, and so burdensome, that it was quickly identified

as a must-repeal not long after the health-care law was
