You don't have to be THE Champion to be a winner! It was a week ago (AND A YEAR AGO) that I watched the Butler Bulldogs come agonizingly close to winning  the NCAA men's national basketball championship, only to have traditional powers Duke and UConn prevail.  UConn is a deserving champion as they were the only team in the NCAA tournament this spring to figure out a way to shut down Butler's patient and ever deliberate offense in that decisive second half. My colleague Gwen Banta, a Butler grad and longtime Hoosier resident, wrote a great post explaining the meaning of Hoosier Hysteria and its impact upon people beyond the basketball court.  You should read it and the comments as well. Growing up in Indiana our state basketball championship was unlike any other state.  Tiny schools of ...

  UNEMPLOYMENT RATE DROPS IN TIPPECANOE COUNTY:  10th BEST IN INDIANA     Tippecanoe County's unemployment rate dropped to 7.6% which is the lowest unemployment experienced since December of 2008 for the Greater Lafayette area. In order to be considered unemployed an individual must be at least 16 years old AND trying to find employment. The road to economic recovery has been a slow process for the Lafayette area. West Lafayette has a 4.9% unemployment rate and Lafayette's was almost double that at 8.6%.

  Congratulations to Jennifer O'Shea of the Keller Williams Signature Partners Market Center in Lafayette, Indiana.  Her husband, Kevin O'Shea, just coached the Lafayette Central Catholic Knights to the Indiana CLASS A State Football Championship!!! WAY TO GO KEVIN AND JENNIFER!!!  Our youngest daughter attended the game and kept us up to date with text messages throughout the game.  Central Catholic finished the season with a perfect 15-0 record and they defeated Fountain Central 52-0 for the state title.  It was the NINTH shutout for the Knights defense this season-an incredible feat! You can relax now Jennifer and enjoy the holiday season!

Today was a great today in our Keller Williams Lafayette Market Center.  We had a great turn out for our first KW Cares Luncheon.  Several of our agents and staff brought in food, salads and deserts to share with our agents.  All the agents had to do was donate $5 for the lunch. We then donate that money to our KW Cares.  Lots of agents showed, food was yummy and we already have 4 of the guys who will provide the lunch next month. Thanks KW.

    How can an automotive plant that employes almost 3,000 people have zero landfill waste since May, 2004? We covered  in parts I-III how Subaru cuts down on potential waste by REDUCING the potential amount of landfill waste and then RE-USING materials instead of recycling them(it does cost to recycle).  All the materials that can't be reduced any more as usable material or re-used are then RECYCLED. Even waste from the SIA cafeteria is not considered waste.  It is composted on site of the factory and used to amend the plant grounds.  Associates are welcome to take the new composted soil to their house and use it as well. Anything that remains is then recycled.  The ponds and wetlands on the factory site are also home to various wildlife animals that surrond the Lafayette area:  deer, ...

   WHAT CAN REALTORS LEARN FROM THE SUBARU AUTOMOTIVE PLANT IN LAFAYETTE, INDIANA?  part III                         ARE WE MAKING AN EFFORT TO CONSERVE ENERGY AND TO REDUCE WASTE?   Since May of 2004 our Subaru Indiana Automotive (SIA) plant which employs almost 3,000 associates in Lafayette, Indiana has NOT sent a single ounce of waste to the landfill.  Every WEEK our real estate company that has about  40 active agents sends a dual  dumpster bin of solid waste to our local landfill. How does Subaru do it?  They reduce, then re-use, and finally recycle all of their waste!!!  SIA was the first auto plant in America to be certified in the tough international standard of excellence for managing environmental systems.

    Our Keller Williams agents toured the Subaru Indiana Automotive plant in Lafayette, Indiana last week and in part I we talked about the teamwork and cooperation we witnessed at SIA. I would like to share with you the efficiency of time, materials, and productivity that we experienced in our tour of the Subaru Indiana Automotive plant. ***  Associates worked as a team to accomplish their given task on the assembly line. ***  Associates switched tasks for the last half of the day so the work would not be repetitive,  and their body would use different muscle groups to protect their physical health. ***  Communication at all levels was emphasized so every associate knew what was expected each part of the day. ***  Management VALUED feedback from associates working on the assembly line ...
