CIDER PRESS December 2020 CIDER PRESS December 2020 Time Moves Us On In 1959 our Grandfather and Father came up from Palisade to New Castle to purchase an orchard and hayfield to expand the fruit operation that they had in Palisade. At that time, they never would have imagined that the farm would become a Mobile Home park. But I-70 came through and times change. The property was changed from a farm into a community. As we grew up in the business, we never imagined that life would be any different. But as we have aged and life changes have continued to press in on us, we find ourselves again at another crossroads in life. We have made the leap to pass the community on to another operator. We did a lot of work and asked a ton of questions to narrow the options to someone who represented that they would take care of the community in a positive way so that we could feel good about who we passed the responsibilities on to. Of course, we can never know all that might happen in the economy or in life, yet time moves on relentlessly, so must we. It has been a difficult process for us as we have grown up alongside many of you and interacted with some of you for 30 or more years. We want to thank you all for being part of our life and we will pray and encourage the continuation of a healthy community here. We are going to continue to live in the area and be part of the valley that is home to us. As we hand off the operation and responsibility to IPG, we are glad that they are keeping most of the crew that has been here for so long. Henry has shepherded this community for many years and will continue to be the point man in operations and management. Bill will also continue to be the lead in the maintenance department. Some of the others will continue their own journey and will help this community continue to be the wonderful home that it has been for so many for many years to come. May your journey in life be blessed with many days and much good. Talbott Enterprises wishes to express to you a heartfelt “thank you” in this transition. Not a goodbye, but a “see you again soon.” The Talbott’s Henry’s Corner: Porch Shoppers Tis The Season. I have been experiencing butterflies, the jitters and day-dreaming about the chance to stand in line for hours on end so I can be elbowed, punched in the stomach and kicked in the groin by the sweet little blue hair grandmas fighting over totally unnecessary toys for their grandkids. This event is called “Black Friday” and I am SO EXCITED! In fact, I am thinking about going to Cabela’s right now to buy a tent, sleeping bag and propane heater so I can set up camp in front of Wal-Mart a week before “Black Friday” and maybe even collect a few bucks from passerby’s who think that I am homeless. This is really getting me excited about the Holiday Shopping Experience! I needed to get on this so, I called the town’s police department to let them know that I would be setting up camp in front of Wal-Mart so that I can be first in line to get the best “black Friday” deals on the things that I have absolutely no use for! I was told by the officer that no camping is allowed in city limits and even if it were, I would have to get a permit. That takes about two to three weeks to process. My holiday shopping dreams were crushed. I could not even pull myself out of bed the next day, I was so depressed. But as luck would have it, I received a call from a close friend. He said, “dude, there is a new shopping trend, and it won’t cost you any money at all! It is called Porch Shopping. All you need to do is drive around and when you see a box on a porch, just make sure nobody is around, snatch the box and throw it in your car!” BRILLIANT! I could only imagine what wonderful things would wait for me in those boxes! Play Stations, TV’s, clothes, and tools! “Porch Shopping,” what a great concept. I called the local police station back and told them that I would no longer be needing a camping permit because “Porch Shopping” was the solution for me this year! They proceeded to tell me that if I also was in the holiday spirit of meeting new friends, I could come hang out in jail with them as they would also be out “porch shopping” in the neighborhood. I guess a camping trip at the local Wal-Mart is the route I am having to go this year. I asked the gang at the office to come up with a few suggestions so that you can avoid “porch shoppers” this holiday season. Here is what we came up with: • Put a large tube or box with a lid on the porch and mark it for UPS and Fed Ex • Post a “smile you’re on camera” sign on your gate • Have a neighbor who is home during the day hold your packages for you • NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH! Let’s look after our neighbors like we have been and call the office or police when you see suspicious activity! I think I the boxes are out of site in the first place, there should be no reason for a porch shopper to shop your porch anyway! “Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.” Good -Bye Apple Tree By Rochelle Firth It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this to you. th As of Friday, November 20 , I will no longer be your office manager. I am moving on to take over for Debbie Nichols at the Town of New Castle to better serve you. I will continue in my efforts to include all of you in future activities and events with the town. So, do not think of this as a good-bye, but like the Talbott’s said, a “see you again soon.” I will miss all of you, but if you have ever read my past adventure blogs, I am a big advocate of doing things out of your comfort zone and that scare you. You never know where it will take you. Well… off I go. I would like to thank each of you for every experience shared, friendship and the good times we have had together. Thank you for allowing me to be privy to your stories. I wish you all the absolute best. Thank you for letting me serve you! Please Note: Your website will be deactivated on the 20th of November. Please contact the office to get information on your new online payment portal. -Thank you Mom’s Circle A favorite family phrase or slogan can go here. So long 2020 2020 has been quite the year. So many of us have lost loved ones close to us. Others their jobs, and others their sanity. Let us say so long 2020. It is time to move on. A Time for Everything Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; A time of war, and a time of peace.

As the new general manager at West Central Electric, I thought I’d take this opportunity to introduce myself and give you a little of my background information in this month’s report. One of the most telling things about me is that rural electric cooperatives have always been a part of my life. My father’s first job out of college was as a secretary at Moreau-Grand Electric Cooperative in Timber Lake, S.D., where I spent the first 18 years of my life. Through the years, I watched my dad work his way up until he became the general manager. I don’t know how many annual meetings I’ve attended, but they started before I was in kindergarten! I also remember that during severe outages, my dad left our home for work. One time in particular and during a blizzard, I remember a lineman coming to get him in a tracked Bombardier. As I watched him leave and go down the street, I remember thinking how neat that was. It wasn’t until I was older, that I realized just how serious the situation was. Anytime we have members and livestock without power, it’s all hands on deck until the Jeff Birkeland, CEO lights are back on. I also suspect I was like a lot of young men who idolized their dad and wanted to [email protected] be just like him.

  • Black Friday and Christmas Preview 2017 a Report Looking at What We Can Expect from Black Friday and the Online Retail Christmas Trading Peak in 2017
    Black Friday and Christmas Preview 2017 A report looking at what we can expect from Black Friday and the online retail Christmas trading peak in 2017 A report researched & compiled by IMRG, supported by INTRODUCTION – A SETTLED PEAK PERIOD? When we talk about Christmas peak in retail, these days we tend to mean Black Friday. Or at least the Black Friday period, to be more accurate. There are other peaks of course, but that’s become the one that really matters for many. It’s been fascinating to watch this event evolve over the past few years. The scale of it is so huge that it appears to be a bit uncontrollable. Its character changes, the period it covers extends (might it contract again?), tactics and strategies adapt to suit this new format of peak trading. And therein lies part of the problem. It’s such an important time of year for sweeping up a share of the huge (albeit, often discounted) spend that goes through the virtual tills that the approach retailers take does seem to have become a bit safe; a bit uniform. We’ve had 3 years of this new format peak trading now and the first year (2014) was a bit traumatic. Retailers don’t want to (indeed, can’t afford to) miss out on having a successful peak, so they do what seems to work. Andy Mulcahy But – and it’s a big but – this thing doesn’t ever seem to settle into Editor, IMRG a reliably predictable pattern. It’s shown a remarkable capacity for evolving in size and scale each year and the opportunity for innovation is absolutely ripe for those who find clever ways to stand out against their competition.

  • You've Unlocked BLACK FRIDAY & CYBER MONDAY Marketing Tips!
    BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: You’ve unlocked BLACK FRIDAY & CYBER MONDAY marketing tips! By Kat Dessenon and Dan Gingiss www.persado.com | [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION It’s the most wonderful time of the year – for retailers and bargain-hunting shoppers, that is. The four days in late November that encompass Black Friday, Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday are often make-or-break for retailers in terms of hitting or exceeding annual sales goals. According to the Canadian e-commerce company Shopify, merchants on its platform collectively generated more than $1 billion US in sales during those four days last year. Put into further perspective, buyers were placing orders at a rate of 2,800 per minute and spending $1 million per minute at the peak of Black Friday. The top three shopping categories: Apparel, Accessories and Housewares. Overall, according to Adobe via TechCrunch, last year’s Black Friday was a record-breaker for online sales in the U.S. – to the tune of $5 billion. Cyber Monday was even bigger for online sales, which makes sense given its digital focus. Adobe says that it was the largest online sales day in history with sales coming in at a whopping $6.59 billion. Another incredible statistic: Adobe projects that online sales will increase nearly 15% in 2018 to $124 billion during the months of November and December. And which marketing channel drives the most conversions? With apologies to Mark Twain, the reports of email’s death are greatly exaggerated. Email actually led all channels with a conversion rate of 4.29% last year, according to Shopify.

This is my rule in all the churches.” (1 Corinthians 7:17) When we pastors talk about stewardship, it is easy for us to think “Oh boy… here we go again! Asking for money!” It is easy for us to fall into the trap that the devil, the world, and our sinful nature sets for us. This trap is to make us think that all we have in life is of our own making. I earn my money. I buy my stuff. I have worked for this. I… I… I…. However, the Biblical view of stewardship does not focus only on money.

  • Black Friday, Navidad Y Rebajas
    Informe de Criteo sobre la temporada de fiestas: Black Friday, Navidad y Rebajas 2018 Resumen En 2017, Black Friday y Cyber Monday batieron todos los récords de ventas en los EE. UU., logrando una de las temporadas de fiestas más beneficiosas de toda la historia. En Europa también se registró un mayor gasto por parte de los consumidores y eso alentó y entusiasmó a los retailers. Pero lo más destacable del año pasado fue la permanente transformación del sector retail, con consumidores capaces de encontrar increíbles productos cuando quieren y donde quieren, a la velocidad del rayo. Esta temporada de fiestas, crea más instantes únicos e irrepetibles. Con el auge de los estilos de vida en constante movimiento, cada momento cuenta. Tus compradores ya no solo van a tu tienda física o navegan por tu sitio web. Utilizan navegadores de búsqueda, leen reseñas, realizan búsquedas de productos mientras que están en otra tienda. La omnicanalidad es la norma hoy en día. A nivel mundial, más de 3 de cada 4 compradores finalizan compras online que iniciaron offline, y viceversa1. Es imposible saber el journey que seguirán tus compradores. En 2017, las empresas optimizaron sus tiendas físicas con espejos interactivos y montañas rusas de realidad virtual. Ofrecieron coleccionables, merchandising exclusivo y pensaron en cómo hacer sus escaparates más Instagrameables. Añadieron dependientes muy profesionales, apps optimizadas para compras y opciones de entrega más rápidas...todo ello con una clara intención de atraer y enamorar a los consumidores con una experiencia de compra totalmente renovada. Basándonos en los datos de 2017, esto es lo que esperamos en 2018: En 2018 esperamos ver más de lo mismo.
