Deb Hight
 Morris,
Inc. is proud to announce that two of our employees,
Debra Hight and Calvin Frederick, tied for
Employee/Safety Employee of the Month for March 2012
as voted on by their peers.
Debra Hight is the accounts receivable
administrator in the main office and has been with
us since September 2009, when she began as our
receptionist.
Over time, Deb cross-trained throughout the
accounting department and was promoted to her
current position, where she bills customers,
collects payment, does our daily bank deposit,
assists in insuring our equipment and providing
insurance and gas cards for each unit, and acts as
backup to the current receptionist, answering phones
and tracking equipment in her absence.
Deb is very dependable.
She does a great job balancing patience with
a no-nonsense approach to collections, and she takes
her job seriously.
Deb has two young children,
Mikayla (5) and Chase (3), and she enjoys going to
the park and for walks with them in the warm months
and snuggling up for weekly movie nights in the
winter. Deb
also enjoys fishing, going to the beach, and an
annual trip to Deadwood.
Thank you, Deb, for your hard work and
dedication.

Calvin Frederick
 Calvin
Frederick has been with Morris, Inc. for a very long
time. He was
originally hired as a summer temp in 1989.
In 1994, Calvin was hired full time in the
residential turf irrigation department, where he
worked for several years.
Now, he’s a foreman in the aggregate
production department, where he trains and
supervises the crew as it produces materials for
customers and the company.
Calvin is an employee who “grew up” working
for Morris, Inc., in more ways than one.
He started here as a kid and as a laborer,
and over the years has matured to become the
respected job foreman he is today.
Calvin works cooperatively with mechanics
when machines need preventive or routine maintenance
and he’s not afraid to ask questions about how he
and his crew can take even better care of his
machines. He
pays attention to detail and pushes safety
procedures to everyone so no one gets hurt, while
following all safety policies himself.
Calvin is pleasant to be around, generally
has a laid-back attitude, yet takes pride and cares
greatly about the materials he and his crew
produces.
Calvin has one son named Jamie (13) who currently
lives in Iowa.
He enjoys spending time with him whenever
possible and is looking forward to Jamie spending
the summer here in Pierre.
Calvin and his fiancée, Holly, enjoy quiet
time at home with her children and other family
members and friends.
We are proud to have Calvin as part of the
Morris, Inc. team.

services and the aggregate department, where he has
found his home as an equipment operator and leadman.
Steven has learned to run all types of
equipment and he is the go-to guy when it comes to
training newly hired miners.
He takes the time to read the equipment
manuals to be sure he knows the equipment he’s
running inside and out.
That is also
what makes him a great trainer.

valuable input during daily safety meetings and is
not afraid to share ideas on how to make the plant a
safer place to work.

help make whatever crew he works with be productive
