twice. I was very happy with the progress that he was making, and from that moment he said he was going to be eating healthier. He had been talking with the dietitian and agreed to make some changes in his diet and would exercise more. Just five days later dad was home and was doing what the doctor told him to do: writing everything down, checking his blood pressure, and going for walks, which he had fun doing. He would even get up and mov- ing by dragging a string on the floor so the cats (Clowey and Oscar) would chase him around the house. Six weeks later he started therapy and was still doing very well with his diet. Gladly, a year after his surgery he is still doing very well and has lost 85 pounds in the past year! He still watches what he eats and exercises regularly. At the age of 69 he says he feels better than ever and that he should have done this a long time ago. Mom, Andrea, Bryan, Bradley, Gene and I just wanted to say we are very proud of you dad! Construction Updates
New equipment storage area at the Main Plant
Dairy Ingredient Division Warehouse
New production area under line 35 in the Main Plant
• The consumer products research laboratory is complete! See article elsewhere in Crest Ink. • The office expansion at the West production facility is nearly complete. We have moved into the new produc- tion office, the new conference room is filled with tares while the QA room is being renovated and the new nurse’s office will be where the production office used to be. Look for everything to be complete early in April. • We are ahead of schedule on the dairy ingredient division warehouse. Despite several weeks of nasty winter weather, the winter has been reasonably mild and construction has continued throughout. We are hoping to be ready to move sometime in June. • The new equipment storage area for packaging is complete and we are nearly moved in – what an upgrade in space over where we were previously. • The area under line 35 is in the process of being converted to a production room – this is where we previously stored equipment. This will give us the ability to run several standard two level production lines in this area. High on our priority list will be to put in a cup style line which will be a new packaging format for Crest. Look for lines to be running in this room in April.
