This low-premium, high-deductible plan is compatible with Health Savings Accounts and Health Reimbursement Arrangements giving employees control over their health care dollars. They also receive most preventive and wellness services at no expense and have access to our large provider network. See how marketing representative Deb helps employees understand consumer-directed health plans at DelawareBlueAndYou.com.

from the editor

Daniel Richardson

If I have not mentioned it before, I have a great deal of interest in human psychology and behavior. In

college, I remember being fascinated to learn the degree to which we are capable succumbing to numerous mental pitfalls. Some might say that having an education can shield you from mental blunders, but, as any magician will tell you, the more educated a person is, the easier they are to fool.

Probably the most salient mental pitfalls are known as cognitive biases. These are situations in which our normal ability to use reason and good judgment get thrown out the window.

One of the most pervasive cognitive biases is known as confirmation bias – the tendency to look only for evidence that confirms what you already

believe and ignore any disconfirming evidence you come across.

I think that confirmation bias plays a key role in determining what we see in a news story. When news broke of the climategate scandal, I wrote about how if you were a skeptic of climate science, the emails were proof of a conspiracy to fudge the date, but if you were a believer in climate science, the hacking was proof of just how dastardly the deniers can be.

In business, it is important to be aware of confirmation bias because simply looking for ways to increase profits that you think will work is not the best way to run a company. It’s better to look for research on what is really working to increase profits for companies like yours.

Being aware of Confirmation Bias

Rehoboth launches mobile parking payment solution

Customers will soon be able to pay for parking with their cell phone using Parkmobile’s native mobile applica-tions for the iPhone, Android and Blackberry smartphones in Rehoboth Beach.

To use the new Parkmobile system, customers may pre-register or register on site for free at www.parkmobile.com. Once registered, they can use a mobile app, the Internet, QR Code, or call toll free, 1-877-727-5758 to pay for parking.

Business Report | June 2012

A cooperative project that improves Delaware air quality and the quality of life for neighborhood residents was unveiled at a ceremony recently at Trinity Port Services in New Castle.

Twenty electrified outlets that power refrigerated storage containers at the com-pany’s Rogers Road site have replaced the use of diesel generators, significantly reduc-ing air pollutants, diesel fumes and noise in the community.

Governor Jack Markell and Trinity Port Services Company President Darrel Banning were joined by DNREC Secretary Collin O’Mara, Regional EPA Administrator Shawn M. Garvin, Clean Air Council Coordinator Abby Poses, DuPont Edge Moor Plant Manager Elizabeth Schowe, Rose Hill Community Center Director Shelia Berkel, Senator David McBride (D-Hawks Nest), Senator Margaret Rose Henry (D-Wilmington East), Representative James J. Johnson (D-Jefferson Farms), and New Castle County Councilman Jae P. Street (10th District) to announce the clean-er alternative to diesel generators.

The project addresses the problems of air pollution, odors and noise that have affected residents who live near the facil-ity. Neighbors and community leaders from local civic associations were instrumental in bringing the problems to the attention of environmental advocacy organizations and the state government.

After Trinity Port Services acquired the business in 2007, company manage-ment immediately recognized the needs of the neighborhood, moved equipment and installed barriers to reduce noise and diesel fumes in the area. Additionally, the company has implemented environmentally-friendly improvements at the site.

In 2011, DNREC proposed the project at Trinity Port Services after DuPont applied for a Coastal Zone Act permit to install two large boilers at its Edge Moor facility in Wilmington. Delaware’s Coastal Zone Act regulates heavy industrial activities, as well as new and existing manufacturing activities in the state’s Coastal Zone. Coastal Zone regulations require companies to offset air emissions and other negative environmental impacts.

Under an agreement between DuPont and DNREC, DuPont, as a condition of its

Coastal Zone permit, funded this project to offset air emissions from the boilers at the Edge Moor facility. In addition, DuPont provided funding for technical and adminis-trative oversight of the project to the Clean Air Council through its diesel pollution reduction program.

According to DNREC Secretary Collin O’Mara, the project eliminates up to 120 tons of harmful air pollutants annually from the Trinity site. “This Coastal Zone environmental offset project is an innova-tive solution to the longstanding air quality, odor and noise problems in the neighbor-hood,” he said. “The project ensures clean air by supporting the state’s ongoing efforts to reduce diesel emissions.”

“The new outlets installed at Trinity will eliminate the use of up to 600 gallons of diesel per week,” said Abby Poses, Clean

Transportation Coordinator with the Clean Air Council. “The installation of these outlets will go a long way towards improv-ing air quality and minimizing the effects of diesel on public health. The Clean Air Council has been honored to be a part of such an important project with DNREC, DuPont and Trinity Port Services.”

“This project demonstrates Trinity’s commitment to our community as well as our environment,” said Trinity Port Services Company President Darrel Banning.

“We appreciate the teamwork and col-laboration with all of the involved parties for the common goal of cleaner air. We are very thankful for the funding, as this is only the first step in the future develop-ment of greener initiatives for Trinity Port Services.”

W e are “solutioneers” — specialists in turning ideas into marketable products. When it comes to deliv-

ering active ingredients, no other company offers the range of solutions and expertise that we have at ActivTech!

ActivTech in Seaford, Delaware specializes in providing solutions for delivering Active Ingredients. Whatever the active ingredient (a fragrance, hair spray, cleaning agent — you name it) we offer three different methods of application: Aerosol, Liquid Fill, or Porous Media release systems. None of our competi-tors has the portfolio and breadth of solutions that ActivTech provides.

Creating this portfolio of effective solu-tions has taken more than 40 years. It all started with a company that relocated to Delaware 15 years ago, called Rite-Off from Long Island (New York), bringing 30 years of

aerosol experience, more than 800 formula-tions and a legendary history of innovation with them.

Add to this history an engineering team that cannot be matched by any of our competi-tors and you have a perfect mix for success.

We bring more than 200 years of engi-neering experience to the table every time we develop a new product. We have a PhD Organic Chemist on staff, two profes-sional engineers, two Post Graduate Chemical Engineers and a global sales team of industry veterans with engineering backgrounds and certified QA “Black Belt” credentials.

Then add to this history and the engineer-ing team significant manufacturing resources, a 38,000-square-foot plant, three modern auto-mated aerosol lines, two liquid filling lines, and a porous media production facility and Voilá! — our clients suddenly find a partner

with an unsurpassed combination of resources ideal for product launches and manufacturing partnerships.

Contract packaging has developed across three manufacturing platforms, ActivAir (aero-sols), ActivPack (liquid perfumes, detergents, etc.) and ActivMedia (writing instrument nibs, fragrance release systems, porous media). Additionally, ActivTechnologies markets its own brand of products under the “Olimpia” and “Cristal” brand names to very narrow market niches for industrial and maintenance applications sold directly to end users.

Here is a little more information about each of our manufacturing platforms.

ers. Full capacity in the facility is 100 million aerosol units. An on-premise tank farm of five 2,000-gallon storage tanks enables ActivAir to produce and fill orders both large and small.

Liquids with ActivPackActivPack utilizes two new liquid filling

lines with the ability to fill virtually any liquid viscosity. Full capacities of the lines are 60 million liquid packaging units. ActivPack offers compounding and batching in any sizes with fills starting at 3 oz.

Media with ActivMediaActivMedia features a brand new porous

media production line to produce custom molded, three-dimensional porous plastic media. Pore size ranges are from 5 to 100 microns, with porosities between 20% and 60% void volume. ActivMedia also has an impregnation capability to imbibe porous media with active ingredients such as fra-grances or inks. Full capacity for nib produc-tion exceeds 150 million units a year.

ActivNIBS and ActivApplicators are avail-able without tooling charges in a variety of sizes for writing instruments and cosmetic applicators. In addition ActivMedia proudly patented a new method to apply images to porous media for scented media products, which have been used by many companies as a way to advertise and further support their brands.

ActivFulfillmentActivTech offers fulfillment for existing

products, private label designers and contract packaging. With the ability to keep sellable stock on hand in the large 10,000 sq ft in-house storage facility ActivTech offers a wide range of turnkey products ready to ship.

Another exciting feature of ActivTech is where the plant is located. Seaford, Delaware is within three hours drive of 33% of the population of the United States and within an overnight drive of more than 50% of the population of the United States. Seaford is also within a two-hour drive of three major marine terminals (ports) that handle more than 300 million tons of cargo a year. This is more cargo than all the rest of the ports in the U.S. Also, Seaford, Delaware is within three hours drive of four major refineries — the best con-centration of refineries on the eastern seaboard of the U.S. This makes our plant ideal for pro-duction and product fulfillment. Many of our clients store their product at our warehouse for direct shipment to their clients. It saves them money and valuable time.

ActivTech is fully insured, inspected and compliant with codes and certified by the EPA. ActivTech does not use any CFCs or other ingredients in their products that degrade our planet’s ozone layer. ActivTech is fully committed to environmental stewardship.

Case Study ActivTech takes great pride in their qual-

ity, flexibility, speed of execution and creativ-ity. While many companies shy away from small quantity initial runs, ActivTech will ramp up to any initial volumes and invest in its clients’ futures. Our “ramp up” speeds are legendary in our industry. Last year around Christmastime, a major hair products mar-keting company asked a number of aerosol packaging companies to formulate and ship literally hundreds of thousands of a complete new product line that needed launching before the end of the year. After hearing NO from everyone else, we at ActivTech were the only ones that would do it and actually did it! Everything from ordering ingredients, to improving their formula, designing shipping containers and setting up quality control sys-tems was done in a two-week time frame over the holidays and we met their product launch goals. There wasn’t a single blemish or quality defect in any of the product shipped. It was simply perfect. It’s unbelievable – but we did it.

Without sounding modest or arrogant, I think it’s fair to say the team at ActivTech is an incredible team. We relish challenges and opportunities to show off our capabilities with our actions – not just words. Give us a chance to prove to you how good we really are!

A wellness program is a win-win for both employer and employee

GUESt CoLUMN

By suzanne Kountourzis

Having healthier, happier, more productive employees must rank high among the goals of every business owner. Idealistic as that goal might sound, it need not be expensive or dif-ficult to achieve.

Developing a wellness plan for your orga-nization could be the solution. Findings from 56 studies on worksite wellness programs that were published in the American Journal of Health Promotion showed an average 27 per-cent reduction in sick leave absenteeism, a 26 percent reduction in health-care costs and a 32 percent reduction in workers’ compensation and disability claims.

In other words, a wellness program is a win/win for both employer and employee, an inexpensive way to build morale and save money over the long haul.

There is no single right way to develop a wellness plan for your business. It can be as simple or as comprehensive as you choose. Successful plans do share some common characteristics, including commitment from management, employee involvement, adequate resources, and clear policies on workplace health, wellness and safety that align with the organization’s mission, vision and values.

What goes into a wellness plan, and how should you get started on developing one?

Wellness plans typically address health and fitness issues in a variety of ways. One typi-cal component is to provide encouragement or incentives for employees to walk more. Some companies arrange to hold weight-loss or diet classes on site. Others offer incentives for employees to stop smoking. Some businesses have decided to replace sugary snacks and sodas in vending machines with healthy foods and drinks.

Before deciding what direction to take with your plan, the best approach is to get employ-ees involved. Surveying employees about their needs and interests related to health, wellness and physical activity will help ensure that your program will receive a positive reception and ongoing support. Some insurance companies and outside vendors offer a questionnaire

called a Health Risk Appraisal (HRA) that reviews personal lifestyle practices and identi-fies risk factors. You must be careful if you use an HRA to survey employees because fed-eral laws protecting individuals’ health infor-mation limits how the data can be used.

While surveying employees, also examine your company’s facilities, looking for areas that could be used to promote wellness. Are there paths outside or nearby for walking? Can a portion of your lunch or break room be configured to promote healthy eating habits? Is there a place for fitness equipment? Can bicycles be stored somewhere in the office?

After you have a good idea of employ-ees’ needs and how your facilities might be adapted, you can begin to pull your program together.

One of the best places to start is with the company that provides your health insurance plan. Blue Cross companies and many other major health insurers offer wellness packages, and some features may already be included in the insurance you already provide your employees. Offerings can include flu and teta-nus vaccinations, exercise classes, nutritional counseling, massage therapy and health educa-tion classes.

Check with state agencies, health-care sys-tems and nonprofits like the local American Lung Association or American Cancer Society chapters. Organizations like these are likely to offer stop-smoking quit lines and classes, and even on-site screenings for certain types of cancer.

If offering screenings at your workplace is too costly for your budget, you can at the very least distribute flyers, hang posters or send emails to your employees to give them infor-mation about screenings and encourage them to make appointments on their own.

If your business has a training room or meeting area, consider reaching out to yoga and exercise instructors and operators of weight-loss programs. They are looking for business too and might welcome the opportu-nity to partner with your business in providing a wellness service.

If your business is not large enough to attract these outside entrepreneurs, don’t hesi-

tate to contact other businesses located in your office complex. Some of your neighbors might also be interested in establishing a wellness program and collaboration between two busi-nesses could be what you need to get it off to a good start.

As you consider your employees’ well-ness needs, don’t hesitate to expand on the traditional definition of wellness to incorpo-rate useful options. For example, contact auto insurance companies about offering driver safety classes. After all, preventing motor vehicle accidents keeps your employees in good health and promotes their overall well-ness.

Your wellness plan can also include oppor-tunities available near your place of business — subsidizing memberships in a YMCA, a swim club or a skating rink, for example. Also, consider offering more flexible work hours for your employees. Not only will it expand their options for engaging in healthy activities, but it might also enable you to stretch the hours that your business remains open.

Other management policies and initia-tives can also promote wellness. For example, hire an ergonomic specialist to assess your workstations. Encourage work-life balance by developing policies that permit flextime, establish mandatory vacations and limit the number of hours worked. Include health and wellness tips in employee newsletters.

The more thought you give it, the more you realize that there’s no limit to the possible components of a company wellness program. And, as the examples given here indicate, the costs are not exorbitant and many of the pro-grams offer the potential of a positive return on investment in the form of reduced absen-teeism, greater productivity and lower health insurance premiums.

If you don’t have a wellness program yet, the time to start one is now. You will feel good about it. I promise.

It has been in existence for nearly 20 years, but the Dover-Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization is still a hidden treasure, simply because many people are unaware of the agency. A feder-ally mandated body, one of hundreds of similar organizations across the nation, the MPO is responsible for coordinating transportation planning and programming in all of Kent County, including all of Milford and Smyrna. Plans and programs adopted by the MPO outline how federal transportation funds will be spent and must comply with federal laws govern-ing clean air and transportation. Every four years, MPO updates a long-range Regional Transportation Plan which deals with issues such as air quality, quality of life, transportation projects and land use. The plan must be consistent with state and county comprehensive plans.

The MPO's policy-making body is a council comprised of elected officials, or their designees, and the operators of major transportation modes. There's a technical advisory committee and a public advisory committee.

The MPO isn't concerned just with car and truck traffic, but considers and encour-ages walking and biking as additional transportation choices, explained Kate Layton, MPO public liaison. The MPO likes to see streets designed for all users, Layton said. "That includes children, who are too young to drive, and adults who can't drive for various reasons." It also includes making sure there is enough road and sidewalk space, ideally, for people with disabilities.

Last May, the Delaware General Assembly passed "Walkable, Bikeable

Delaware" which called for strategic investments in walking and biking, includ-ing multi-use paths for pedestrians and bikers.

In his 2012 State of the State Address, Governor Jack Markell, who enjoys biking himself, said "one of the best ways we can improve our quality of life, and promote healthy lifestyles at the same time, is to make our state more walkable and bike-able." He proposed dedicating $13 million to build miles of new and enhanced trails throughout Delaware.

Rich Vetter, who has been MPO execu-tive director since last summer, said an MPO working group began meeting in November 2009 to develop the "Regional Bicycle Plan for 2030," which was adopted in September 2011.

One of the first projects expected from the bike plan is a connection from Silver Lake in downtown Dover to the existing Isaacs Branch bike trail. A recent public workshop "produced positive feedback from the public," Vetter said. The intention is to have DelDot design the trail this year, with construction to be done next year, contingent on funding.

Other projects will incorporate a bike lane when DelDOT paves a road or repaves a shoulder. Where feasible, lanes will be striped to accommodate bicyclists.

According to the plan's summary, while bicycling has been primarily a lei-sure activity or sport, in consideration of increased auto congestion, deteriorating air quality and increased rates of obesity in the country, it is time to expand bicycle use for short trips in place of automobiles. Kent County does not have adequate bicycle facilities to make safe and convenient trips by bicycle an option for most citizens. The plan will focus on increasing bike use not just for commuting but for running errands

HiddEN tREASURE

or visiting friends or relatives.The plan has four recommendations: • Select appropriate bicycle facilities • Put bicycle facilities at intersections • Increase bicycle parking, and• Increase education and enforcement of

bicycle laws. A recently launched Delaware Trails and

Pathways website at http://trails.delaware.gov includes an interactive map describing 20 proj-ects to "create a world-class statewide network of pathways and trails for Delaware's citizens and visitors, to promote biking, hiking, walking and active living."

The MPOs' bicycle plan is online at www.doverkentmpo.org. The Dover/Kent Country MPO also can be found on Facebook.

More and more businesses seem to be concerned with the wellness of their employees, and why not? As Pam

Marecki, Bayhealth's assistant vice president for marketing communications, put it, if peo-ple feel better and are happier at home, then they'll be happier and healthier and maybe become sick less often.

Bayhealth has addressed healthy lifestyles in the past, Marecki said, but recently a group came together and "reinvented" the initiative, reintroducing it as "Be Healthy Bayhealth." Launched during employee recognition week, the program focuses on nutrition and fitness.

The task force reasoned: "When we eat better daily and exercise regularly, we are able to enjoy our family more, we feel better, we get sick less often, and we are able to perform our duties better at Bayhealth. "

Bayhealth has 3,100 employees. During the week of May 7, they were given healthy snacks, offered a confidential health risk assessment, and invited to participate in an employee walk around the campuses of Bayhealth Milford Memorial and Bayhealth

Kent General. The week also featured an Employee Health Fair including free screen-ings for blood pressure, cholesterol, weight and body fat.

The healthy treats included bottled water, granola bars, fruit and a yogurt bar, but Marecki confessed, "We took Friday off and had an ice cream bar. We have to reward our-selves!"

Helping employees become healthier makes sense, "because in our minds we are the role models for the community," Marecki said.

"We also launched 'Walk and Talk Wednesdays.' If staff can get away for a few moments, they meet at the entrance and take a walk around the campus. We did that in April for the American Heart Association's 'Start Walking Day' and it was well received. We're hoping to start a new trend of getting employ-ees out and walking during their breaks."

An intranet site accessible only by employ-ees includes videos of exercises one can do sitting at a desk. There's a whole section on Be Healthy Bayhealth.

"From here on, to keep it interesting and fun, we'll have contests and things quarterly," Marecki continued. "And certainly we have partnered with the people who run our food

and nutrition services. They try to offer more healthy options for the employees.

"This is the start of what I hope will be a program that grows and benefits employes."

At Nanticoke Memorial Hospital in Seaford, Tres Pelot, senior director of therapy service and wellness described a "Commit to Be Fit" program that started last year. "We gave employees $5 off their (health insur-ance) premium biweekly if they participated," Pelot said. First the employees had to get their biometrics done — getting blood pressure, cholesterol, weight and body mass index num-bers. All that was submitted to an independent health risk assessment company so individual employees could get their own assessment. Employees were encouraged to review the data with their own health care practitioner. Pelot noted that 40 percent of the staff have not taken advantage of an annual wellness visit which is one of their benefits.

Participants were also required to get a flu shot. "Ours is a high risk environment," Pelot explained. "We need to protect ourselves and our customers."

In February, Nanticoke held its first "Commit to Be Fit Challenge," with 280 employees participating in walking and weight

loss. "We logged 29,000 miles in an eight-week period and had 800 pounds of weight loss," Pelot said. In an awards ceremony, the top three teams got gift cards. One employee had walked 694 miles.

A walking trail was established inside the hospital. "You'd see employees walking at lunchtime. It was neat," Pelot continued. "Certain employees took it very seriously."

The wellness effort followed a suggestion in April 2011 from CEO Steve Rose. While administration did not see the results of indi-viduals' health risk assessments, they were provided a "snapshot" of where weaknesses were. "The biggest were lack of physical activity and obesity," Pelot said.

He cited a statistic provided by John Hollis of Nemours Health and Prevention Services: most kids spend 42 hours a week in front of a screen, whether television, computer or video game. They get only an hour or two of physi-cal activity.

Over the winter, Pelot realized he himself was not being a good role model for his child. He established his own account at the presi-dent's fitness challenge website, www.presi-dentschallenge.org.

"We need to encourage employees to live more active lifestyles and take advantages of the resources in this area," he said.

The Commit to Be Fit Challenge will be repeated in February. Other than that, Nanticoke hasn't developed a full scale plan, although Pelot has done a lot of research into what other organizations are doing. Some offer large rewards, such as substantial reduc-tion in health care premiums, but he noted the cost of those rewards are offset by increasing the base premium.

The Blood Bank of Delmarva has taken part in health initiatives in the past, includ-ing a "Walk It Off" Campaign with the News Journal that drew 70 staff members. The human resources department is working on what to do next, internally.

The blood bank is the exclusive supplier of blood and blood products for the entire Delmarva Peninsula, providing blood to 16 hospital customers. "It takes 350 donors per day to keep blood in adequate supply on the peninsula," said Michael Waite, director of marketing and community relations. "We have 160,000 members who have at one time or another made a commitment to donate blood."

He added that 65 percent of the population is unable to give.

Drives are conducted at schools and col-leges, including the biggest effort of the year, the Colonial Athletic Association Blood Challenge, in which 12 member schools compete. Delaware won last year with 1,300 donors in a single day in four locations.

Companies interested in a program should first visit the website, www.delmarvablood.org.

The owner of Sherry T. Wilkins Hypnotherapy LLC said she is definitely open to going to a business to help its employees be healthy. Most of her work is one-on-one now, Wilkins said. A certified hypnotherapist, she is working to dispel myths about hypnosis and conducts workshops on the power of hypnosis.

She likened hypnosis to going to a movie theater where "message units" increase in number as one buys a ticket, gets food or drink, finds a seat and becomes engrossed in the movie. "It's a type of environmental hypnosis," she said. "Do you cry in reaction to what happens? Movie-makers make us believe that what we see and hear is real. But if some-one yells 'Fire!' we'll snap out of it and get out of the theater."

There are 146 ways in which hypnotherapy — behavior modification therapy using hyp-nosis — can assist someone, including weight loss, smoking cessation and stress reduction, even pain management. She invites business owners and others to visit www.sherrywilkins.com to learn more.

Sometimes the health of other family mem-bers affect employees' performance, especially

with today's "sandwich generation" of workers who have children at home as well as parents either in their home or even at long distances for whom they bear responsibility. Connie Lewes of Flawless Transitions may be able to help when seniors need to be relocated. She also can be of service to single proprietors working from home who need help setting up or rearranging an office, or to businesses who want to accommodate an employee's disabil-ity. Many seniors are still working; many of them out of their home, as does Lewes. She is a "move manager," she said. She does coun-seling and consulting and has people who help do the actual moving.

"I know the distance required around a bed for a walker or wheelchair, or how much furniture one can take to an apartment. I make residences accessible," she said.

Especially when one has been in a resi-dence for many years and accumulated a lot of possessions, it is easier to have a third party decide what to do and actually disperse prop-erty to a charity or family members, or ship things across country. Children don't always have the patience required. "It's always a struggle to let a lifetime of memories go," she said. "It takes kid gloves to help (people) to separate from these things."

Having someone to take care of a move helps the senior and his or her family, who likely have "a plate full already. (Moving) is just one more stress, or a bunch of stresses put on them, and we relieve the stress as much as possible."

Risk Control Captives Workers Compensation

Tröegs Craft Brewery, located in Hershey, Pa., has hired restaurant manage-ment and consulting company Highwater Management to facilitate and advise the food operation of their newly opened tasting room.

Owned and established by brothers Chris and John Trogner in 1996, the quality prod-uct of Tröegs Brewing Company has infil-trated the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond, earning countless awards and impressing beer enthusiasts alike with their small-batch brews. Tröegs handcrafts and distributes more than a dozen widely acclaimed beers.

The brothers recently expanded into a 100,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art brew-ery which includes self-guided tours to explore the facility, along with a sizable tasting room and patio to sample beers and enjoy locally-inspired fare designed to com-plement the brews.

Scott Kammerer, co-owner of Highwater Management alongside restaurateur Matt Haley, says Tröegs hired the Highwater team specifically for their expertise to help ease the transition into food.

“We’re designing the kitchen, admin-istering our operating systems, hiring the staff, and implementing all ordering, track-ing, and operational controls,” he explains.

“We’re hoping to help the Tröegs com-pany realize their vision of creating a hand-crafted, independent product that reflects the surrounding area.”

Widely acclaimed Baltimore chef Christian DeLutis signed on to work with Chef Matt Haley, resulting in a menu that not only pairs well with a variety of beers, but also highlights the local fare from near-by Pennsylvania farms and bakeries.

Kammerer states that the tasting room has been “a smash hit,” and has been packed

every night. “Matt has definitely added some of his swerve and flair to the food,” he says. “I think it’s some of his best work.”
