“Ten years ago, we came into this mar-ket with no name recognition and we knew we had to do something to let people know we were here and to start building a brand. Ingram’s comes to us with ideas and adver-tising and sponsorship opportuni-ties that others don’t match, and their programs, like 40 Under For-ty or CEOpen, validate our belief that we’re dealing with the right organization to help us build our brand in the marketplace.”

Congressional bills that run past 1,000 pages, and the legislative processes that produce them—as with the Affordable Care Act and the Dodd-Frank financial reforms—failed to generate much outrage with the voting public in recent years, despite ample evidence to demonstrate that neither had achieved its stated goals.

Perhaps it was only a matter of time-before we’d see four-figure administrative actions. The most recent of those is the Clean Power Plan, rolled out in early August at an impressive 1,560 pages, with thou-sands of pages to follow. Combined with thousands of pages of additional guidance still to come, it will do for America’s energy sector, critics say, precisely what ACA did for health care expenditures and Dodd-Frank did for compliance costs at community banks.

Only this time, anyone whose electricity comes from burning coal will be able to see the effects on the monthly utility bill.

“It will be, by far, the most expensive compliance policy the EPA has ever undertaken,” cautions Andrew Ferris, director of electric supply planning for the Kansas City Board of Public Utilities. At $311.5 million in 2014 revenues, the Wyandotte County-based municipal utility is but a fraction of the size of investor-owned utilities like Western Resources, parent of Kansas City Power & Light, or Westar Energy in Topeka.

But the BPU will more acutely feel the effects of new federal restrictions because it lacks the economies of scale enjoyed by the larger utilities. The effect would be multiplied within this region because the utility not only pro-duces power for 63,000 customers in the county, but hundreds of thousands more who rely on it to power municipal water systems in the region, including Johnson County’s massive Water One.

At this point, the BPU has no solid estimates on what the costs of CPP compliance will be, Ferris says. An hour to the west, Westar’s John Bridson has a more forceful opinion about what the CPP will impose on consumers and businesses: “I think the impact to the people of Kansas is going to be big, and that concerns us because we’re worried about those families’ ability

With the EPA’s regulatory bomb on U.S. utilities that rely on coal to generate electricity, the cost of doing business here is headed up.

By Dennis Boone

Concerns the right yield for you?the right yield for you?

On one hand, today’s investor must feel like a kid in a candy store, eyes wide open with all the potential choices—individual stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, precious metals, consumable commodities, energy plays, angel and venture-capital possibilities . . .

The complexity and inter-connectedness of those choices is staggering, and only the stout of heart would risk venturing into some of those combat zones without a small army of trusted advisers as back-up. And the task for all is no easier as mid-2015 approaches, where we find that: The Dow Jones Industrial Average isn’t far off

its historical high of 18,312.39 and hasn’t had a major correction in six years. 10-year treasuries are still throwing off yields of

roughly 2.4 percent and have only cracked the 3 percent mark on two trading days in the past four years. Gold is down nearly 40 percent from a 2011 high. Oil is less than half its price a year ago, taking

the prices of other energy sources down with it. And grain commodities are taking a beating. Those are just a few of the mileposts along the

current investment highway. What to make of them? Ingram’s turned to professionals from a wide range of investment disciplines for some guidance, and their answers could prove useful for those taking mid-year stock of their portfolios.

In some ways, it is the typical small-business succession story: After a decade of building a start-up with a relative handful of em-ployees into a leader in its field with more than 150 on the payroll, the chief executive is ready to turn the reins over to the next gener-ation of leadership. So he does his diligence, brings on board some-one prepared to take the organization to even further heights, and prepares to step out of the limelight.

The time draws near for millions of business owners and executives nationwide to hang it up. That’s creating opportunity for many sellers—and buyers, too.

Armed Forces Bank recently sponsored—and hosted—the first ever Military Industry Outlook forum in partnership with Ingram’s Magazine. As I look forward, it is clear that the military will continue to be a core segment of the DFC family of banks. Understanding the impact of the military in the communities we serve and the issues they are facing are important if we are to truly “know our customer”. I encourage you to read this summary of the forum. Like me, I’m sure you will find it insightful and beneficial as we seek to meet the financial needs of these heroes.

Thanks for all you do.

the prices of other energy sources down with it. And grain commodities are taking a beating. Those are just a few of the mileposts along the

current investment highway. What to make of them? Ingram’s turned to professionals from a wide range of investment disciplines for some guidance, and their answers could prove useful for those taking mid-year stock of their portfolios.

November 2015

Kamal Mikhail knows steel—its potential, its strength, its endurance.

In 2012, the Leawood, Kan., businessman had been an integral leader in

Kansas City’s commercial construction scene for decades.

He was also dying.

The cardiomyopathy diagnosed in 2000 had destroyed his heart. His

long-time cardiologist said nothing more could be done.

But this savvy businessman believed something could always be

done—with the same excellence and dedication he demanded of himself.

He sought advice from others who’d had similar heart problems. He

discovered some of the top programs were at Mayo Clinic in Boston and

Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.

And right here in Kansas City at Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart

Institute.

When Mikhail learned all six of the area’s cardiologists board certi-

fied in heart failure medicine were on staff at Saint Luke’s, he figured his

chances were excellent.

He met A. Michael Borkon, M.D., Saint Luke’s surgical director for

heart transplants, and was impressed by the entire heart team’s skill,

professionalism, and passion.

“The Saint Luke’s team saw the man, not the bad heart,” Mikhail,

now 71 years old, said. “I have daughters and a wife and three busi-

nesses with employees who count on me for their livelihoods. The other

doctor said I was dead. Dr. Borkon said, ‘We’re getting you a heart.’”

On April 21, 2012, Mikhail became the 540th patient to receive a

new heart at Saint Luke’s.

The right people

If you look strictly at data, it’s clear why Saint Luke’s Mid America

Heart Institute is one of the nation’s premier heart care institutes:

• Among the nation’s best heart failure outcomes

• The nation’s top 10 for heart transplant volumes—nearly 700 since

its first in 1985

• The first dedicated heart institute in the nation and one of the first

to address women’s heart health

• Among select facilities worldwide chosen for leading-edge clini-

cal trials

• A robust research program featuring two of the world’s most influ-

ential scientific minds, according to Thomson Reuters

Remarkable, yes, but Mikhail will tell you the Institute is so strong

because its foundation is built upon outstanding people.

“I have known a lot of doctors in my lifetime,” he said. “Never have

I been treated better than the care I received from every single person

at Saint Luke’s during the most difficult time of my life. There is no doubt

in my mind. They are simply the best.”

Mikhail likened it to smart business strategy. When seeking a busi-

ness partner, he looks for a company staffed by people with expertise,

history, and knowledge. He wants dedicated workers who know the

business inside out, upside down—those who spent years fine-tuning

their skills.

He wants a company staffed by experts with specialized knowledge

who can achieve desired results.

“Their attention to detail at Saint Luke’s is unprecedented,” he said.

“They don’t just do a procedure to build up their numbers. They wait for

the perfect match to ensure each person has the best chance.”

The right home

In fact, Mikhail was so impressed with Saint Luke’s heart team that

he now is a co-chair of the Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute

Ambassadors Group.

“I tell everyone who needs heart treatment, those here or coming

from overseas, to knock on the door in Kansas City first,” Mikhail said.

“You get the exact same expert care you’d get at Boston or Cleveland,

and nobody can top Saint Luke’s people.”

Saint Luke’s Health System is Kansas City’s only locally owned and

operated faith-based, nonprofit health system. The Ambassadors Group

hopes to build lodgings for family members who travel to Kansas City so

their loved ones can get lifesaving care.

Don’t tell Mikhail it can’t be done. He has made it his personal

mission to unite construction companies and make it happen.

“I call on all area construction companies to donate their overhead

and profit. Together we can build this and give back to our community

where we live and work,” he said. “What a great accomplishment we

can build together.”

Institute Ambassadors Group, contact Susan Melton, senior director of

development, at 816-932-9083.

Armed Forces Bank recently sponsored—and hosted—the first ever Military Industry Outlook

forum in partnership with Ingram’s Magazine. As I look forward, it is clear that the military

will continue to be a core segment of the DFC family of banks. Understanding the impact of

the military in the communities we serve and the issues they are facing are important if we

are to truly “know our customer”.

I encourage you to read this summary of the forum. Like me, I’m sure you will find it insightful

and beneficial as we seek to meet the financial needs of these heroes.

Thanks for all you do.
