“I just wanted to thank you
for the good work you did
creating our new site. It
looks really sharp and we
are getting good feedback.
It was a pleasure working
with you through this
process and your patience
is commendable.”
Jo Boyer
Marketing Communications
Ever-Green Energy, LLC
When the nation was struggling through the energy crisis
of the late 1970s, District Energy St. Paul was conceived out
of a need to establish a stable and cost-effective means of
heating downtown buildings. The founders were visionaries
with an entrepreneurial spirit who looked beyond traditional
solutions. They imbued in the company a culture of
innovation that continues to guide us today.
As proud as we are of our success, we must look beyond
the horizon to ensure that our future energy systems will
be cost-effective and fully sustainable. Our ultimate goal is
to completely eliminate the use of fossil fuel. This goal is
attainable if we broaden our thinking and envision District
Energy as a provider of integrated energy solutions rather
than a traditional district energy system.
An integrated energy system is one that combines aspects of
multiple systems and technologies to achieve greater efficiencies
than any single system could ever achieve on its own. The
combined heat and power (CHP) plant is one example of such
a system. We use steam turbines to generate electricity, and
capture the excess steam to heat the water used to heat
downtown Saint Paul buildings.
Integrating energy systems can help solve the challenges that
prevent a renewable energy technology from reaching its full
potential, thereby making it more viable and cost-effective.
For example, consider the promising technology of solar thermal,
in which the sun’s energy is used to heat water, which can then
be used to heat buildings. This is a great solution as long as the
energy supply and customer demand remain in balance. However,
when the system supplies more hot water than is needed, how do
you store that energy and keep it available for use at night?
A hot water district energy system is the perfect complement
to the use of solar thermal systems. We already have the hot
water distribution system in place. By connecting a solar thermal
system and adding a storage tank to the network, we could take
in as much hot water as the solar system could create, distribute
whatever amount is needed, and store the excess for future use.
District Energy has been testing solar thermal heating on a small
scale for the past year, using panels made in Minnesota, and we
believe there is great potential for larger-scale application in the
near future. Integrating these solutions with a biomass-fueled
CHP plant increases energy efficiency and reduces costs.
Another means of producing more energy with less fuel is by
recovering waste heat from our current heating plant. While
the CHP facility is very efficient by conventional standards, we
could extract even more usable energy from the same amount
of fuel by implementing advanced heat recovery techniques and
additional thermal storage. We are optimistic that we can
implement these advanced techniques in the next three to five
years. This project would also reduce the steam plume that is
visible around our plant in cold weather.
Biomass provides additional possibilities for integration into the
district energy system. Wood residue already comprises about
70 percent of our fuel mix, but we are looking into other sources
of agricultural byproducts, such as corn stover pellets, resulting
from harvesting operations. Other methods of extracting energy
from biomass are also being explored.

As the world confronts the dual realities of climate change and increasing
energy demand, we must look beyond fossil fuels for long-term solutions.
Fortunately, many companies, universities and governments are making
substantial investments in energy research and development. We are uniquely
positioned to integrate the best of these technologies into our system, making
each technology more efficient than it could ever be by itself. That is the
beauty of an integrated energy system, and we intend to be industry leaders
for years to come.

Physician
Intervention

Discreet. Conﬁdential.
Effective.
Do you have a disruptive physician on
your staff? Someone who intimidates,
bullies or demeans coworkers and
patients, has verbal outbursts,
throws items at others or makes
physical threats? A physician who
engages in inappropriate sexual
behavior or retaliates against those
who make complaints?
Physicians exhibiting disruptive
behavior can be extremely costly in
terms of lost time, productivity and staff
morale. Unchecked, they potentially
threaten the safety of your patients and
staff, diminish the reputation of your
institution—and increase your exposure
to malpractice suits.
It’s often hard to know what to do and
how to do it—particularly in the early
stages when an inappropriate behavior
is noticed but not deemed critical.
Yet the need for early and effective
intervention has never been greater:
In order to keep JCAHO accreditation,
every hospital now must have a
system in place for recognizing and
effectively dealing with disruptive
physicians—whether they’re on staff
or simply have privileges.
In order to minimize the risk of
adverse events and malpractice
suits, medical groups must have the
awareness and skill set to intervene
effectively when a colleague or
employee first begins behaving
unprofessionally.
Organizations that identify and
deal with disruptive behaviors
and performance problems at the
earliest stages can not only save a
considerable amount of time and
money—but also mitigate risk.
RESEARCH DONE BY VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY
MEDICAL CENTER SHOWED THAT 9% OF
PHYSICIANS ACCOUNTED FOR 50% OF
UNSOLICITED PATIENT COMPLAINTS—AND OVER
50% OF MALPRACTICE DOLLARS PAID OUT OVER
THE STUDY PERIOD.

METH IN
MINNESOTA
Bodygraphiccourtesyof©TheCourier-Journal.
The body’s natural reaction to
stress, called the fight or flight
response, is designed to last only
a couple of minutes until a person
reaches safety.
But drugs like meth release a rush
of dopamine that hyperstimulates
body systems for hours at a time.
Meth impacts every organ system
in the body: skin, heart, lungs,
kidneys, and perhaps most
devastating of all, the brain.
METH CAN BE SNORTED, INJECTED, SMOKED,
OR DISSOLVED IN LIQUID AND INGESTED.
Syringes are used to inject drugs. Items like the insides of pens or rolled dollar bills
can be used to snort drugs. Foil, pipes or even hollowed-out light bulbs can be
used to smoke drugs. A heat source – like a lighter – is used to vaporize the
drug. Scorch marks are often left on the paraphernalia.
Powder, flakes, crystal (ice)

“NCCT fits right into the

M I S S I O N
The National Conservatory of Contemporary
Theatre (NCCT) is a post-secondary school
modeled after top conservatories in New
York City with a progressive curriculum
taught by some of nation’s premiere industry
professionals. The core values of NCCT are:
1. A pragmatic and forward-looking
approach to curriculum and teaching
methodologies.
2. A deep-rooted belief in collegial and
mutually supportive community partnerships.
3. A focus on profitability as key to our
continuing high-level of quality service and
performance.
G O A L S
The primary goals of NCCT based on our core
values are as follows:
1. To provide cost-effective professional
actor training, utilizing the best of traditional
acting conservatory models, blending
Stanslavski based technique and Viola Spolin
improvisation with forward thinking trends in
post-secondary education and theatre training
curriculum.
2. To graduate students who are
prepared to work in the theatre upon
completion of our program. Armed not only
with solid training from our expert instructors,
guest directors and the best industry
professionals the market has to offer, but also
with professional contacts in the Twin Cities,
New York, and Los Angeles they have made
during their training.
3. To enhance the already dynamic Twin
Cities’ arts community through partnerships
with local theaters—including: Mixed
Blood Theatre, The Jungle Theater, The
Children’s Theatre Company, Theater Mu,
and The Playwright’s Center. This reciprocal
relationship with our local partners (and
partners in New York) will augment the student
experience, provide a well-trained talent pool
to the already excellent Twin Cities market,
and make NCCT a destination for education,
collaboration and arts dialogue.
4. To become a fully integrated member
of the Twin Cities artistic and educational
communities while creating a national
reputation of Minnesota as a destination for
professional theatre training.
W E L C O M E T O N C C T
The National Conservatory of
Contemporary Theater is leading
the way in the rethinking of post
secondary education by providing
alternatives to traditional education
models, making conservatory training
affordable and practical while still
maintaining the highest quality.

Windsor Companies believes that landscapes are an extension of a home or
building. That’s why Windsor has spent the past three decades designing,
constructing, and maintaining landscapes that are perfectly suited to the
people that will use them. Windsor has won more than 30 national and
regional design awards.
Windsor’s staff has the expertise to tackle large, complex projects. But they
are also friendly and approachable. And that makes every design special.
Windsor understands landscapes. And Windsor understands its clients.
That’s because the people at Windsor see landscapes as vital extensions of
the homes and buildings they surround. A Windsor landscape is creatively
designed, carefully crafted, and impeccably maintained. A Windsor
landscape is a place for living.

AWARD-WINNING
RESIDENTIAL DESIGN This home is perched at the top of a steep hill that descends to a small lake.
Unfortunately, the slopes were eroding, the dining areas were too small and the
wooden walls and steps were beginning to fail.
The simple, richly detailed solution demonstrates Windsor’s ability to work with
its clients and creatively solve landscape problems. A larger wooden deck, a stone
terrace and a sinuous stone wall replaced the multi-level decks and steps.
The pool is now surrounded by warm patterned concrete. The terrace is home to
a large overhead pergola for shelter from the sun, a stone ﬁreplace for evening
entertainment, and the sound of a cascading waterfall.
