JULY 2021
At A Glance From the Desk of the CEO
Rod Burkett
I was recently asked if I saw anything positive coming from
COVID-19. My initial reply was no, there was no positive
direct impact from the disease itself, but there were some
positive benefits from how the pandemic made us think and
behave differently than what we were used to.
The implementation of various safety precautions and restrictions resulting
from the pandemic sparked the question, “why do I/we carryout the various
routines and procedures in our daily work and personal lives?” Are these
numerous things that take so much of our time and energy truly important, or
are they more of a habit that we follow, whether they provide a decent payoff
or not?
Happy Independence Day!
The pandemic caused us to pause and ask ourselves, what things or processes
are no longer relevant, or no longer needed? What things can be left behind, or
what procedures can be minimized to leave room or time for more high value
items or activities?
Therefore, the pandemic can be seen as providing all of us with a gift…while
being somewhat isolated, it was the gift of pausing, reflecting, and thinking
differently. Because of this mind shift, what things did we realize that can be
left behind, freeing us up to focus on the more important things in our work
and personal lives. Did the pandemic create a mind shift in you?... one in
which old ways that didn’t serve you well were traded for impactful new ways?

IN THE NEWS
About the Month of July
Rick Banas
President Abraham Lincoln signed the first income tax bill on July 1, 1862. The tax on incomes of $600 to
$10,000 was 3%. For incomes of more than $10,000, the tax was 5%. Also on July 1, 1862, the Internal
Revenue Service was established by an Act of Congress.
The first international telephone call was made in July 1881 between Calais, Maine and St. Stephen in New
Brunswick, Canada.
July is the month crop circles reportedly start to appear in fields of corn.
July is National Ice Cream Month. Vanilla is the most popular flavor. The explanation is that it is simple and
goes with everything. Chocolate is #2.
July is National Watermelon Month. Watermelon is in the same botanical family as cucumbers, pumpkins, and
squash. It is the most consumed melon by weight in the U.S. There are several hundred varieties of watermelon
in the United States and Mexico. The five main types are seeded, seedless, mini, yellow, and orange.
July is also National Hot Dog Month. According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, an estimated 7
Billion hot dogs are consumed in the U.S. between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
The 17th Annual National Day of the Cowboy is on July 24.
July 27 is Take Your Houseplant for a Walk Day.
July marks the time of year when the sun is furthest away from earth.
Up until a few hundred years ago, the way July was pronounced was altogether different. It rhymed with
“truly.”
Here in the United States, July is a very special month as we celebrate our freedom and independence.
