ain Gardens and bioswales are some of our most effective tools in implementing sustainable water practices. In the presentation, Barrett will discuss how rain gardens and bioswales protect, restore, and mimic the natural water cycle. Additionally, Tom will explain how rain gardens and bioswales can help develop a natural solution for water efficiency, and relieve storm water management issues. Rain Gardens and bioswales create natural filters through which our rainwater can flow. We are in essence helping to remove the contaminants, while reducing the speed and volume in which the water runs to the storm drains. By choosing to create a rain garden or other environmentally responsible landscape solution, we can reduce the contaminants that collect in the sewer systems, and make a significant improvement for a cleaner and healthier environment.

In the presentation, Barrett will discuss how rain gardens and bioswales protects, restores, and mimics the natural water cycle, and how they can help develop a natural approach to water efficiency, and relieve storm water management issues. “The American Society for Civil Engineers gave the United States’ water systems a grade of ‘D-,’ the lowest of any America infrastructure,” said Barrett. “Through increased use of rain gardens and bioswales, we can improve our water systems and create a better environment for plants, animals, and people.” www.ThinkGWI.com

Capture the Growth - Capitalizing on the Growth in the Landscape Industry

Most people focus their attention for retirement planning on investment options without ever considering the structure of their retirement plan. I am not an investment advisor. We, at Dunbar, Bender, & Zapf, are experts in retirement plan design. Often called "Hybrid Plans," most of the Cash Balance Plans are established for the primary benefit of the owners or executives of a company. Therefore, the contributions for owners and executives are typically very large with a smaller contribution provided to staff to meet IRS requirements. Today, this is the fastest growing retirement plan in the U.S. For owners and partners who are looking for larger tax deductions and accelerated retirement savings, the Cash Balance Plan may be the perfect solution for them. I invite you to learn more about Cash Balance plans, where you could save more towards your retirement.

Retirement Plan for Small Practices

The economic recovery is in full swing. 2015 was an excellent year and, for the landscape industry, it is predicted that 2016 total industry sales will be even better. Profitability is up, home starts are up, and the home improvement market is forecasting accelerated growth throughout the year. Unemployment is below 5% and there is pressure to increase the minimum wage. This will put pressure to increase wages, even those wages above the minimum wage. With a growing economy and high levels of employment it will be challenging to find qualified labor. Aggressive recruiting and training to will help compensate for the increasingly tight job market.

Most irrigation contractors are as confused about website, internet marketing, and social media as Groucho was about Camels. There is an overload of information available about the which social media channel to use and how to use it. And a lot of doesn't work for irrigation contractors. In this presentation Tom Barrett clears up a lot of the myths about internet marketing, websites, social media, and email.

Bridge the Gap Villages is an ecotourism travel adventure on Vororovoro Island in Fiji. Do you want to learn more about—or even integrate into—the traditional life of Fijian villagers? Do you want to share the best parts of your culture with the Fijians—and learn from them the best parts of theirs? Are you between 0-90 years of age? (We’ve had babies on the island, people in their eighties and every age in between.) Have you been seeking a place to get away from it all, indulge in natural beauty, and find space for your yoga practice, your dreams of a writing retreat, a romantic escape, or a stop on your round-the-world surfing trip? Do you have good basic mobility? Vorovoro is a very physical place, reached only by boat, with no roads and limited creature comforts. Can you bring a camper’s mentality? Great! We’ll exceed your expectations. If you’re more of a five-star resort person, you might struggle—but let’s talk it over and see whether we can do a little pre-planning to accommodate your requirements. In short, who should come to Vorovoro? Anyone with an open, inquisitive mind. Lako Mai!

Permeable paving is a transformative approach to sustainable site development. Permeable hard surface construction is part of a continuing series of engineering solutions to water management that protects, restores, and mimics the natural water cycle. Permeable paving is an efficient solution for stormwater runoff. It will reduce flooding, increase water infiltration, recharge groundwater and improve water quality.

Irrigation Association State Affairs Indiana Presentation(02 15-2011)

The water we use to irrigate our crops is vital and still we as a nation continue to practice inefficient irrigation methods. Current irrigation practices waste an exorbitant amount of money and water using our current process. The EPA states, "Commercial and residential outdoor water use in the United States accounts for more than seven billion gallons of water each day, mainly for landscape irrigation." The EPA estimates over three and a half billions gallons of water are wasted every day with inefficient and ineffective irrigation practices. More than fifty percent of irrigation water used in residential and commercial irrigation systems is wasted. In this presentation, Barrett presents the "State of the Art" in irrigation design and installation. Barrett will present a comprehensive and sometimes controversial exploration of alternate water sources as well as the EPA WaterSense Program, SMART irrigation technology and current regulatory trends in the irrigation industry.
