Acerca de BACK TO MAIN Work, Meet Life. The most important part of who we are is outside of working hours. Let's recognize that too. Though you might spend a large portion of your time on the clock for your work team, you lead a whole life out there that doesn't include MCI or Gamut. So let's celebrate the good news, exciting updates, welcome new babies, see your pets, watch your kid make that soccer goal, and even share in the tough stuff that could use a little support. We could all use a moment to smile, celebrate, and just be human. Here's the space to do it! Let's go Gamut Marathoner, Katrina Ramey! KR1 KR2 KR7 KR1 1/7 Elevating this to the top spot because our next newsletter update will be celebrating Katrina's remarkable achievements! Meet Katrina Ramey, the Account Manager extraordinaire for our Gamut team. We can't help but boast about her incredible accomplishments. Just last year, Katrina conquered the Chicago Marathon, crossing the finish line with a remarkable time of 4 hours, 30 minutes, and 58 seconds, maintaining an impressive average pace of 10 minutes and 21 seconds per mile! But here's the exciting part: Katrina is gearing up for an encore performance at the Chicago Marathon this October. She's already marked two half-marathons off her list, with three more to conquer. Her race times are improving steadily, as evidenced by her outstanding performance in the Mother's Day half-marathon, where she secured a well-deserved 3rd place finish in her age group. But wait, there's more! Katrina is taking her athletic prowess to a whole new level by participating in her very first triathlon in Culver, IN, this August. And if that's not enough, brace yourself for this: right after the Chicago Marathon in early October, she's set to tackle the Indianapolis Marathon in late October. Can you believe it? Katrina's unstoppable! Congrats, CNA Bailey! Bailey, the granddaughter of Rebecca Caldwell, has achieved a remarkable milestone in her journey towards a fulfilling healthcare career. With determination and dedication, she recently earned her CNA certification and has taken up a vital role at Caramont Regional Medical Center. Bailey's exceptional commitment to her education and passion for nursing caught the attention of Gaston College, where she has been handpicked for a prestigious full scholarship. This scholarship marks her final 'regular' semester of college, paving the way for her entrance into their esteemed nursing program. Congratulations to Bailey for her outstanding achievements; she is on a path to make a significant impact in the world of healthcare!" Employees of MCI & Gamut Embark on Exciting Adventures as Summer Comes to a Close. Andy Lies headed "Out West"! Our journey started with a lengthy drive to Denver, Colorado. Over the course of a couple of days, we explored the stunning locales of Red Rocks and Golden, Colorado. A highlight of our trip was the picturesque drive up the mountain to Bolder Falls, followed by a visit to Lookout Mountain. We also embarked on a hike and paid a visit to Wild Bill's museum and gravesite. The following day, we set out early for a four-hour drive to Moab, Utah. The transition from the Colorado mountains to the vast landscapes of Utah felt like entering another world. Our initial destination was Canyonlands National Park. Here, we spent some time hiking and marveled at what geologists believe to be a fascinating formation created by a meteor impact. With temperatures soaring to 100 degrees, the remainder of the afternoon was dedicated to cooling off in the pool. The next morning, we were up at the crack of dawn to explore Arches National Park. The breathtaking vistas and hiking trails left me speechless – an experience beyond words. Even the kids managed to complete the challenging 3-mile hike to the iconic Delicate Arch. Our journey continued as we drove a few hours to reach Capitol Reef National Park. Nestled between imposing canyons, this is Utah's smallest national park. We had the pleasure of camping by the Fremont River, which meanders through the park, and the kids cherished every moment of our stay. Regrettably, we couldn't find the time to visit the other two remarkable national parks in Utah, namely Zion and Bryce Canyon. However, we're already planning a return trip to explore these incredible destinations. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone in search of adventure to venture out west and discover our national parks. Lacey Knapp took off to the Middle East I had been eagerly anticipating this bucket-list trip with my adventurous friend for an entire year. The question I heard most frequently before embarking on this journey was, "Why Jordan?" To which my immediate response was, "Why NOT?!" Jordan, though a relatively small country, smaller even than the state of Maine, is often underestimated as a travel destination. However, it is a place that offers a captivating blend of stunning natural landscapes and world-renowned historical and religious sites. More importantly, it stands as a safe and secure gem in the heart of the Middle East, waiting to be discovered. Our 8-day adventure commenced in the vibrant capital city of Amman. From there, our first stop was Jerash, a place considered one of the largest and most well-preserved sites of Roman architecture in the world, rivaling even those found in Italy. Jerash's history spans over 6,500 years, making it a captivating journey through time itself. After Jerash, we embarked on a short bus ride to the enigmatic Dead Sea, an extraordinary body of water renowned for its unparalleled buoyancy, owing to its salt content being ten times that of a typical ocean. Regrettably, experts predict that the Dead Sea may vanish completely within the next 25 years, making our visit all the more poignant. Our next destination was a three-hour drive south to the iconic Petra, often referred to as the Rose City. You might recognize it from its appearance in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." Petra, one of the "New" Seven Wonders of the World, is a marvel of human achievement, with structures that are both half-built and half-carved into the rock. The city is surrounded by mountains filled with labyrinthine passages and gorges. While "The Treasury" is the most famous feature of Petra, the entire site is vast and awe-inspiring in its scale. We concluded our tour with an unforgettable overnight stay in the Wadi Rum desert. Its surreal landscape is often likened to that of Mars, which is why it served as the filming location for "The Martian" with Matt Damon in 2015. The pitch-black desert sky, devoid of light pollution, offered us a breathtaking canvas for stargazing, complete with a clear view of the Milky Way. Additionally, we had the chance to experience a quintessential desert adventure by riding camels, guided by a local Bedouin. These towering and peculiar creatures added a touch of exoticism to our journey. In summary, our trip to Jordan was nothing short of epic. The place was incredible, and the Jordanian people were among some of the kindest I have met in my travels. I wholeheartedly recommend this remarkable country to anyone seeking an experience that is far removed from our everyday lives. Jordan not only exceeded our expectations but also left us with memories that will last a lifetime. Heartwarming Reunion: Stray Kitty Finds Family After 2 Months! Cheryl Rukse's encounter with a stray kitty on our bustling industrial street stirred concerns. Given this is no place for a lost kitty, she approached the elusive feline, who promptly darted away. A week later, Cheryl spotted the same cat and wisely carried food this time. She offered the cat food and called her "Mommy", and to her amazement, as she placed the food down and stepped back, the cat abandoned the meal to rush towards Cheryl, showering her with affection. Cheryl sought the help of Michelle Alonzo to safely contain the cat. With the arrival of her husband, Phil, and a carrier, they took the cat to the vet and discovered her name was Mimi, missing for two long months. The similarity between "Mimi" and "Mommy" explained her affinity for Cheryl. Mimi's joyful reunion with her family left a heartwarming impression, emphasizing the importance of pet microchipping in reuniting lost animals with their loved ones. Microchip your pets, please! It works! Oh Baby! Lisa Simmons, a valued member of the Gamut team, is eagerly anticipating the arrival of her very first grandchild, who is expected to make their debut in March of 2024! This joyous occasion marks a new chapter, filled with the excitement and love that comes with the arrival of a grandchild. A heartfelt congratulations to Lisa as she prepares to embark on this wonderful journey of grandparenthood!

Top of Page Wild Wiring Hulk-Smash.... the FPB BACK TO MAIN Everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is not to make the same mistake twice. Each quarter we will take a moment to review a few details where encountered a learning experience of some sort. The goal is not to point fingers or assign blame, but rather to create a space to learn from our collaborative experience, and offer resources so that if these issues ever occur in the future, you know what you are looking for, and how to *hopefully* ward of costly errors. Hulk-Smash.... the FPB. The Issue: Our crews were installing a fan-powered box on site and were in the process of elevating it for installation on the duct jack. When it reached about 10' off the ground, the jack suddenly DROPPED about 18”, which caused the FPB to fall off and SMASH to the floor! Thankfully, nobody was injured. The reason this happened is because at some point before the duct jack was overloaded. When that happens it puts added stress on the mast pinching the cable. This causes slack to build up. When it can’t handle stress, it lets go and jack drops until the slack is gone. The Fix: D on’t ever overload jacks-- just because it might work once, doesn't mean it will always be that way. Know what you are lifting and your capacity. Also, don’t allow anyone else to use our jacks. Other trades are notorious for overloading them. Each duct jack costs about $4000 so it can add up fast (think like an owner), not to mention the potential injuries and damaged equipment. Smashed unit-- LOSO-5-12-2023 Duct Jack 2--LOSO--5-12-2023 Smashed unit-- LOSO-5-12-2023 1/2 LEARN: Check out our MCI STAT Course on Duct Jacks, and freshen up your knowledge on capacities! See mm. 9:01. Take the Course Hulk-Smash.... the FPB Wild Wiring The Issue: Our electrical subcontractor ran thermostat wire for a 480v unit; the transformer was a multi-tap with a 480v option. Turns out, they ran it as 277, tapping off of the 24v coil side of the contactor for the ‘neutral.’ There is not a neutral wired to this unit (note that there is no white wire on the right), so it was wired to ground. The wire hit a sharp metal edge in this unit and shorted out. Takeaways: Just because they're supposed to be the experts hired to do the job, doesn't necessarily mean they know what they're doing. Check behind your subs, and read the wiring diagram to make sure their work is correct. Check out this information from our friends at HVAC Know It All on reading HVAC wiring diagrams.

ESOP Education Series BACK TO MAIN Who Does What in an ESOP Company? ESOP companies have more moving parts than other companies. Like all companies, they need a board of directors and managers , but they also need a plan trustee to make sure the plan is operated for the interests of plan participants to act as the shareholder of record, and a plan administrator to make sure the plan runs properly. Some companies also have ESOP Communications committees (that's us!) What are the Rules for ESOP Distributions? According to the National Center of Employee Ownership , an employee can receive distributions from the ESOP after employment terminates. Distributions are normally paid out as either a lump sum or annual distributions that span up to five years. Distributions resulting from reaching the plan retirement age, death or disability will start the next year. Distributions resulting from employment termination must begin within six years following job termination. Vesting determines how much the employee is eligible to receive. For example, if a fully vested employee reaches 65 and retires in 2022, their distributions will begin in 2023 and must be fully paid no later than 2028. What are the Rules for ESOP Distributions?

BACK TO MAIN Gamut Update Lift Station Installations What is a Lift Station? Wastewater lift stations are crucial components of sewage systems that help transport wastewater from lower to higher elevations, especially in areas with uneven terrain. These stations utilize powerful pumps to lift the wastewater from underground collection pipes into higher-level sewer lines or treatment facilities. As the wastewater enters the lift station, it passes through grinders or screens that remove solid debris, preventing clogging and damage to the pumps. Float switches or level sensors are employed to activate the pumps when the wastewater reaches a certain predetermined level, ensuring efficient and controlled operation of the lift station. Where does Gamut fit in? When lift stations get to high they run the risk of overflowing which causes a mess and government agencies must oversee the clean-up. Usually, a light at the top of the panel would alert some to check out the panel… however, based on where it is located this may or may not happen in a timely manner. Gamut’s cellular panel is now sending text/email and phone follow-ups now whenever an alarm happens. In the last month, Gamut has installed 6 units for a local municipality in Indiana as well as 6 private units operated by Kimco in TX. We look forward to this new market which will make us more diverse in our remote monitoring capabilities.

In a desperate bid to fill the page (and, let's be honest, to show off), I've commandeered this space to introduce the latest, furriest member of the Knapp household - meet Finley! Our "Gotcha Day" celebration was on February 7th, marking the day this adorable mix of Coonhound, Boxer, and Pitbull made our home her forever home. At 9 months old, Finley is a blend of hound intelligence, Boxer enthusiasm, and Pitbull love, making every day an adventure filled with energy, smarts, and cuddles. Finley's journey to us was made possible by the amazing folks at Saving Grace Animal Rescue in Wake Forest, NC. If you're in the vicinity and thinking of expanding your family with a four-legged friend, I couldn't recommend them more highly. The Shih-Poo Coup: How Sammy Stole the Show (and Dane's Heart) at MCI In a daring attempt to one-up the editorial desk's recent puppy news, the Osburn clan has made a bold move by introducing their own bundle of joy (and inevitable chaos). Enter Sammy, the pint-sized Shih Tzu-Poodle mix, or as those in the know call him, a "Shih-Poo." This little furball, pictured on the right alongside his sister, recently graced the Raleigh office with his presence, and let's just say, he was quite the hit—especially with PM Stephen Sellers, who might just have found a new best friend. (I sense a new series... Puppies and Project Managers? Who's in??) At just 8 weeks old, Sammy has already shown signs of becoming the office's most adorable troublemaker. While Dane Osburn might put on the façade of a man coerced into dog-dad duties, it's clear for all to see that Sammy has firmly wrapped his tiny paws around Dane's heart. So, as the newsletter becomes an unofficial pet showcase, let's give a warm welcome to Sammy. Dane, you can pretend all you want, but we're onto you—you've totally fallen for the puppy eyes. Here's to Sammy's future adventures and the inevitable "who's rescued who" story unfolding at the Osburn residence!

BACK TO MAIN Honoring a Legacy. Lea Burt Lays Wreath at Normandy American Cemetery Lea Burt , the retired president of MCI from 1998 to 2020, recently had the profound honor of laying a wreath at the Normandy American Cemetery in France during the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings . This moment held deep personal significance for Lea, as his father, Ralph Burt Sr. , was a World War II veteran and the founder of MCI. Ralph led the company as president until his passing in 1998. Ralph Burt served in the 7th Armored Division , a crucial component of the Allied forces during the war. His division was equipped with tanks and specialized equipment, working in tandem with infantry divisions but under separate command structures. Ralph was part of an ordnance company responsible for retrieving and repairing damaged equipment. His team, which included mechanics, welders, and even morticians, worked tirelessly to ensure that equipment could be returned to the front lines swiftly. Trained in the Nevada desert to confront German General Rommel, Ralph's plans shifted when Rommel was defeated before deployment. Instead, he was transported to England aboard the Queen Mary, a troop transport that thankfully avoided U-boat attacks. Ralph landed at Omaha Beach two weeks after D-Day in 1944 and was assigned to British General Montgomery’s 2nd Army Corps. His division played a significant role in the advance across northern France, famously defending the small town of St. Vith during the Battle of the Bulge. Despite being outnumbered, the 7th Armored Division held its ground, delaying the German advance and allowing the 82nd Airborne to position and stop the Germans before reaching critical river crossings. Ralph's division endured heavy losses, with 70% of their men and equipment lost. Despite the peril, Ralph and his team managed a fighting withdrawal, avoiding capture or death. His experiences during the war, including being just 15 miles from the infamous Malmedy massacre, were harrowing and shaped his resilient spirit. Lea Burt's participation in the wreath-laying ceremony was not just a tribute to his father but also a shared moment of reverence with another tour member whose father landed at Utah Beach at the same time as Ralph Burt landed at Omaha; two weeks after D-Day. This remarkable coincidence highlights the enduring legacy of those who fought for freedom, as their children now come together to honor their sacrifices. As we reflect on this special event, we are reminded of the courage and dedication of Ralph Burt and countless others who served during World War II. Their legacy continues to inspire and guide us, especially within the MCI family, where Ralph's values and leadership remain at the heart of our company. Lea's wreath-laying at Normandy stands as a poignant reminder of our past and the enduring importance of honoring those who have given so much for our freedom. Load More

ESOP Education Series BACK TO MAIN NCEO Study Finds Employee Ownership Provides Significant Advantages in Uncertain Economy A new survey by the National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO) finds that workers who own their companies through employee stock ownership plans (ESOPS) have significantly greater retirement security than most American workers. At a time when many businesses are experiencing high turnover rates and staffing shortages, employee-owned S corporations also report better employee retention through a corporate culture that fosters worker satisfaction, the survey reveals. “The evidence continues to show that employee-owned businesses and their employees are faring better than most, positioning them to better withstand the challenges of a volatile economy,” said Stephanie Silverman, President and CEO of the Employee-Owned S Corporations of America (ESCA), which commissioned the survey. “As business leaders prepare for possible economic uncertainty ahead, ESOP-owned private firms offer a compelling model for positioning workers and companies alike.” Key findings of the survey include: S-ESOP leaders report voluntary quit rates of their employees at roughly one-third of the national average. Nearly 80 percent of S ESOP leaders feel they are able to do better than their non-ESOP competitors when it comes to retaining and recruiting employees. Employee-owners are experiencing layoffs at nearly one-fourth of the national average. Nearly 80 percent of S ESOP leaders believe employee-ownership helps them manage economic disruptions. Employee-owners are staying put because of the benefits. ESOP respondents estimate that the median ESOP account balance across their participants is $80,500, not accounting for other retirement savings vehicles they provide like a 401(k).
