Logan County Chamber of Commerce Honors

Tennant Funeral Home 

As The Business Of The Week

330 South Second St............................................... 970-522-3544

Tennant Funeral Home is this week's Logan County Chamber of Commerce Business of the Week.

Honored at the ceremony were David Tennant, Dave Tennant, Jennifer Tennant and Justin Tennant.

…Tennant Funeral Home & Crematory has served Sterling and the surrounding area since 1985 when Dave Tennant returned to his hometown and purchased the business. As the funeral home grew, so did the involvement of Dave’s family. His sons David and Justin joined the family business full time in 2003 and 2005.

…Growing up helping with the family business, David and Justin learned the values of empathy, respect, and dedication, which are the cornerstones of the funeral home’s success. Dave graduated from the San Francisco College of Mortuary Science. David and Justin are graduates of Arapahoe Community Colleges Mortuary Science Program.

…All three have completed their degrees and passed the national board exam as accredited funeral directors and embalmers, an important distinction in Colorado where formal education is not required to work in the funeral industry. When you call on Tennant Funeral Home rest assured that an experienced funeral professional will be there to assist during that difficult time. Known for their expertise and experience, Dave, David, and Justin have spent years helping guide families through the loss of a loved one.

…Tennant Funeral Home offers our area the largest selection of caskets, urns, and memorial items to fit any family’s needs whether burial or cremation is chosen. Their one level ADA accessible facility has seating for up to 280 for services and a reception area capable of hosting up to 70 guests. They also operate their own on-site crematory to provide families with peace of mind knowing their loved one is being cared for at their location and by their staff.

…Tennant Funeral Home is also able to assist with pre-planning your end of life wishes, should you want to make selections to take that burden from your family.

…In addition to its core services Tennant Funeral Home and the Tennant Family remain actively involved in com- munity programs. They believe supporting our community and contributing to local organizations and youth programs is an essential part of what makes them not just a business but a pillar of the community.

…Tennant’s is a place where love and service come together to create a lasting legacy that will continue to support our community for generations to come.

…Tennant Funeral Home & Crematory is located at 330 S. 2nd St, Sterling, CO 80751. For more information contact them at (970) 522-3544, or their website: Tennantfh.com.

Sell More By Talking Less

When spewing countless features of your products is the bulk of your sales training, the logical thoughts for your employees are to use all those facts to speed up the sale. But that’s not how it works. Unless your sales team is trained in how to create rapport and bond with a shopper before pitching the product, the sale can feel like gladiators trying to wear down the other: the associate trying to wear down the shopper to get them to buy, the shopper trying to wear down the employee to get a better price. Neither works in this day and age. Don't risk losing the opportunity for shoppers to buy from you.

Regulators Include Business Requests

After more than two days of strenuous debate, Colorado regulators late Friday approved a first-of-its-kind set of regulations to limit emissions from large manufacturers — rules that include most of the changes that business leaders requested of the state to make them more feasible. The compliance pathway for the 18 companies affected by the Greenhouse Gas and Energy Management for Manufacturing Phase 2 (GEMM 2) regulations won’t be easy, to be sure. Facilities ranging from the Suncor Energy refinery in Commerce City to the Molson Coors Beverage Co. plant in Golden to the remote Natural Soda mine in Rio Blanco County must begin cutting emissions by 2026, reduce greenhouse gases by as much as 15.5% by 2030 and face even more stringent regulations if they can’t hit near-term goals.But by the end of a Colorado Air Quality Control Commission hearing where the debate often turned to whether state officials should consider potential production cutbacks and loss of jobs as they determined the severity of the rules, a majority of commissioners said that they should. As such, a split commission agreed to several concessions that a coalition led by the Colorado Chamber of Commerce had sought, including a two-year delay in the imposition of the first emissions-cutting requirements, the creation of a fund into which facilities could pay as an avenue of compliance and the creation of a future carbon-capture option as an allowable way to cut emissions.

Business Concerns

Gas Powered Equipment?

Colorado air-quality regulators will turn their attention next to gas-powered lawn and garden equipment. The question is whether they will so far as to ban the sale of that equipment along the Northern Front Range. Air Quality Control Commission members voted Thursday to set a rulemaking hearing on Dec. 12-15 for Regulation 29, which would place new restrictions on the use of hand-held and push gas-powered equipment. The regulation would begin in 2025, and it follows an executive order issued last week by Gov. Jared Polis that bans use of such equipment at state facilities within the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ozone-nonattainment area by June 2025. Leah Martland, supervisor of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s regulatory development and engagement unit, presented the AQCC Wednesday with a proposal to reduce the use of equipment that’s become an increasing target of environmentalists. Gas-powered lawnmowers, weed whackers and other lawn-care instruments are estimated to be responsible for 75% of non-road volatile organic compound emissions in the state — a category that also includes agricultural, aviation, railroad, recreation and commercial equipment.

Shutdown Is A Choice

With recent setbacks in negotiations and the deadline quickly approaching, emerging consensus among lawmakers, staff, the Capitol Hill news media and longtime Washington operatives is that the federal government is almost certainly heading for another government shutdown come Oct. 1, the beginning of the government’s fiscal year. A government shutdown isn’t inevitable – it is a choice. And it is among the dumbest decisions Washington can make.

 Ridiculous Choice

Substantial Consequences Of Strike

The United Auto Workers have initiated a strike against the “Detroit Three” — Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis — after failing to reach a deal on a new labor contract. U.S. Chamber President and CEO Suzanne P. Clark issued a statement calling for an immediate resolution to avoid substantial economic impact: “The decision by the United Auto Workers to initiate a strike will have far reaching negative consequences for our economy, for the American workers directly employed by the Detroit Three, their suppliers and dealers, as well as the thousands of small businesses and families whose livelihoods will also be put at risk. The UAW strike and indeed the ‘summer of strikes’ is the natural result of the Biden administration’s ‘whole of government’ approach to promoting unionization at all costs. For the 94% of American private sector workers not in a union, the costs are starting to stack up – from increasing consumer costs – now for new cars – to sudden loss in business for those in related industries like auto suppliers, restaurants and caterers whose customers are now on strike....................Strike
