Mark’s Musings

MARK FORTUNE

It sure seems like these two week publishing cycles roll around pretty quick! And as usual, much has happened in the past two weeks. The Eco-nomic Recovery Act is now signed into law – and appar-ently most Americans will start seeing some benefi t in April with more take home pay. How much? I guess that all depends on your income, number of exemptions, etc., but most of the pundits are saying the average American will have around $13 to $15 more per paycheck – enough for a fast food meal for four, a pizza or two depending on the particular pizza deal or maybe a date night movie and box of popcorn. Certainly not enough for a sizeable down payment on a home, car, boat or that big screen television now that digital broadcasting is happening! Speaking of the digital televi-sion broadcast, I can’t believe that I – Mr. Technology Guy – missed writing about that in the February 11th Mark’s Musings. Wow. I even disap-pointed myself over that one. So, here goes. You should be receiving some – and the key word is some – channels in the digital format right now. But the Congress, fi nding that the public was not ready for the transition to digital television, has delayed the deadline until

June 12th. According to the FCC website, this was done primarily for safety reasons – concern about people not be-ing to receive weather broad-casts, vital emergency alerts, and being able to watch Sean Penn accept his Oscar in high defi nition. Okay, kidding on that one.If you still have a pair of rab-bit ears or a regular antenna, you need to get a digital con-verter box. If you already sub-scribe to cable (Time-Warner in virtually all of Coshocton County!) or satellite – you are good to go. Do nothing. You should begin seeing a better display on your tele-vision very soon. For more information about this topic and how you can check re-ception at your home, you can visit the website www.dtv.gov/fixreception.html. You can also visit the Federal Communications Commis-sion website at www.fcc.gov for more information and get a complete list of all full power stations that are mak-ing the transition on or before February 17th.Now, back to all things local. Are you ready for the auc-tion? The Coshocton Coun-ty Chamber of Commerce annual auction (the largest fund-raiser for the Cham-ber of Commerce) is getting ready to go – you can read the press release for more de-tails in this issue of The Bea-con – and watch the March 11th edition for a complete

list of items up for bid. This is a fantastic opportunity to help your community and get some great deals at the same time. Many local businesses and organizations have do-nated items to this cause – and a lot of volunteers have stepped up to the plate to help bring this event to life. The folks involved with The United Way of Coshocton County deserve to be com-plimented – all the campaign chairs, volunteers and donors for helping this past year’s campaign come very close to the goal. Despite the eco-nomic hardships and chal-lenges we all face right now – the campaign generated over $32,000 of new money – and that is something to be proud of. Yes, we can continue to whine about how bad things are but my Dad once told me a story about how a man with no shoes was walking through the woods and ran into a man with no feet. That man soon met a man with no legs – and so the story goes. You get the idea. No matter how bad things are, there is ALWAYS someone dealing with something worse. So be thankful for what we have. We happen to live in a great community where people care about one another in a great state in the greatest na-tion on earth. And we even get to watch countless hours of college basketball in about three weeks. Free.

Several employees of WTNS Radio, joined by Coshoc-ton County Commissioner Dane Shryock, enjoyed a few games of bowling to help support the annual Big Brothers / Big Sisters of Co-shocton County Bowl for Kids Sake event, held at The Coshocton Bowling Center. The event, held Friday and Saturday, February 20 and 21, is the major fund-raiser for the agency. As Baker’s IGA team member Chris-tine “Strike” Roberts said, “Its fun – and we’re helping out the community”. Sheila Mayse, executive director of Big Brothers / Big Sisters ex-plained, “It seems to be going well, everyone is having a good time. We’ve had some new teams this year – like WTNS – they even brought their own clown – they raised over $700 which is great. Saturday (February 21) will see our largest day – Annin & Company is bringing 11 teams. We’re grateful to our corporate sponsors; Kraft

Foods, Domino’s Pizza and Coshocton Bowling Center, our 28 lane sponsors, whom are all local businesses that contributed more than $100. We have lots of various door prizes, all donated very gen-erously by local businesses. We’re also giving a t-shirt to anyone that raises $75 or more and we have a 50 / 50 drawing to help raise addi-

tional funds. Larry Deffen-baugh donated his DJ servic-es this year, which we really appreciate”. Participants also had the opportunity to see a human bowling pin (Tracy Nys) and a human bowling ball (Jessie Flores) during the weekend’s activities. Big Brothers / Big Sisters of Co-shocton County is a United Way Agency.

The United Way of Coshoc-ton County held their annual meeting at the Coshocton Vil-lage Inn & Suites on Thurs-day, February 19th with a breakfast buffet, followed by the presentation of awards and a report on campaign results. With over $357,000 raised, the campaign that helps support 20 local agen-cies that serve youth and adults alike, came up short of the total goal but Execu-tive Director Amy Hasse-man positively reported that, “I’m most proud of the fact

that 8 of our 9 divisions hit their goal in this challenging economy with over $32,000 raised in totally new monies! When asked about the con-tribution of Wes Enlow, who has chaired the United Way of Coshocton County Board for several years, Hasseman stated that, “Wes has been just a tremendous asset to our organization. We’ll deeply miss him”. Smurfit-Stone Container General Manager Dan Truett, added, “We’re very proud of our employees and their willingness to reach

out – I hope Smurfit-Stone can always be a good com-munity citizen and I’m very proud of them.” With over half a million dollars con-tributed to the United Way of Coshocton County over the past nine years, Smurfit-Stone Container earned the honor of being the top giver for the ninth straight year. When asked how he felt about Smurfit employee Wes Enlow, Truett responded with, “Wes has done a great job – he has carried the ban-ner – I can’t say enough about the job he has done.” Hasseman, along with the large crowd in attendance, thanked Mr. Dick Baker and the employees of Ohio Heritage Bank with a round of applause for their role as the 2008-2009 corporate sponsor, and then introduced members of Coshocton Hos-pital, who will be celebrating their 100th anniversary later this year, as the 2009-2010 corporate sponsor. Coshoc-ton Hospital Administrator and CEO Mr. Greg Nowak stated that, “We’re very hon-ored and pleased to be able to participate. We already participate in the United Way campaign – but this is the first time that we will be the corporate sponsor. This is an opportune time, as we are celebrating our 100th an-niversary.

Lainie Brillhart is pas-sionate about education. In particular, she believes in keeping up with new tech-nology and giving students and teachers at River View Junior High the tools they need to compete in today’s – and the future’s – high-tech world. A shining example already being utilized in many Ohio schools is the SMARTBoard –an interac-

tive white board that looks like an oversized dry-erase board. While they may in-deed be used with dry erase markers, they’re designed for use in conjunction with peripherals. PCs, laptops, video cameras, DVD play-ers, projectors, etc. can all be plugged in to SMART-Boards, up to four at once. When using a laptop, for instance, instructors can project the computer screen

onto the SMARTBoard for the entire class to view. The interactive surface can then be used as a touch-screen, by simply using your finger as a mouse, or by employ-ing the interactive key-board. Special stylus pens allow the user to write over anything projected onto the board, which can then be saved directly to the computer. In addition, dry-erase notes can be saved to a computer file, eliminating the need for teachers to re-write notes for every class. The sensitive yet durable touch screen also allows the instructor to switch back and forth between all pe-ripherals in use with a quick tap of her finger. Thousands of ready-made lesson plans are available, and SMART-Boards can be used for Power Point presentations, or even to collaborate over the internet with Windows NetMeeting. Sound high-tech? It is, and yet SMARTBoards are user-friendly and come with free training for teach-ers. And they’re essential, in the opinions of Lainie Brillhart and RVJHS prin-cipal, Sharon Tatro. “Keeping technology up-to-date is always go-ing to be a challenge,” says Brillhart. “One of the many advantages of SMART-Boards is that they offer free software upgrades and up-to-date lessons via the internet.” Principal Tatro first ex-perienced SMARTBoards at Muskingum College dur-ing her graduate studies, and recalls how impressed she was with their impact on classroom presentations. “It’s an interactive tool that gives students opportuni-ties to have that ‘hands-on’ instant gratification,” she expresses. “The one model classroom that we have at our school is in constant de-mand, and there is actually a waiting list that extends into the end of the school year.” That demand rein-forces their determination to place a SMARTBoard in every classroom at RVJHS. East Knox and Tri-Valley middle schools have already incorporated

SMARTBoards into ev-ery classroom. Dr. John Marschhausen, Superinten-dent of East Knox Schools, says, “It’s been amazing. Our teachers have done a magnificent job adapting to and utilizing the new tech-nology. They all use them on a daily basis,” he reports. “It allows kids to be interac-tive in the learning process. SMARTBoards have made education at East Knox a collaborative effort between teachers and students.” However, SMART-Boards are not cheap. Considering several failed levies and a compromised economy, the funding for new technology simply isn’t there. Lainie’s solu-tion … raise it. On March 14th at 11am in the RVJH gymnasium, the second annual Fund-raiser Auction will be in full swing. Items from lo-cal merchants and national corporations alike have been kindly donated, and Brad Baker, a mathematics teacher at RVJHS, has gen-erously offered his auction-eering services. Plan to eat lunch while you bid - RVJH parents Teresa Grashel and Tanya Stottlemire will organize a food stand benefiting the project, run with help from the student council. There promises to be

a huge selection of items to bid on, from useful to unusual. A few notables are a certificate from Sky-Dive Columbus, a Florida Vacation Package includ-ing tickets to Walt Disney World, a Columbus pack-age including Magic Moun-tain and Fort Rapids Water Park, a GPS System from MFM Building Products, and even a tent rental pack-age including a 20’x 30’ tent, plus twelve tables and chairs to seat 100 guests from ALL Inclusive Tents and Events, owned by Alan and Susan Brinker and fam-ily. One SMARTBoard for RVJHS was purchased out of last year’s auction pro-ceeds. That’s a start, but they’re aiming for seven-teen more. Brillhart intends to rally for funds until that goal is realized. Besides al-locating all proceeds from this year’s auction, Brill-hart is encouraging local companies and organiza-tions to “sponsor” a class-room at the JHS. A $2500 sponsorship will purchase one SMARTBoard for a classroom, which includes the board, a projector, free teacher training and yearly software upgrades. Spon-sors will receive a perma-nent plaque outside the classroom, denoting their generosity and support.

Brillhart added that one SMARTBoard has already been generously sponsored by the Coshocton Rotary Club! As Brillhart excitedly reported, “We are tremen-dously grateful to the club for this very generous gift – the kids will benefit from the Rotary club donation for many years!” Donations of auction items from the community are still gratefully accepted. “We welcome any help you can offer,” Brillhart stress-es. “We need donations of new and used furniture, household items, gift bas-kets, professional services, and gift certificates to sell at the auction, as well as mon-etary donations to meet our goal.” Items can be dropped off at RVJHS Mon-Fri from 7am-3pm. Assistance is available for those who need help unloading. Other arrangements can be made by calling the school office at 824.3523 or Lainie Brill-hart at 327.2000.

Mark Hogue, teacher at Union Elementary, uses his SmartBoard on a daily basis to teach math to his 5th and 6th grade classes. Students were enthusiastic and attentive during the interactive lesson.

SMART Auction Coming March 14 By Kori Hardesty


The Malone University Choir gave their first per-formance of the year at Roscoe United Methodist Church this past Sunday, February 22nd. The 68 voice strong choir, with the ladies resplendent in long black dresses and tuxes for the gentlemen, provided songs of inspiration and delighted the audience on a blustery Sunday afternoon. The choir, under the direc-tion of Minnesota native, Dr. David Donelson, sang a song in Latin that was penned by Eric Whittaker

among many others that drew rounds of applause. Donelson thanked Mr. Les Widder, choir director at RUMC, for inviting the choir to perform at Roscoe. RUMC Pastor Coralee Cox said, “We’ve been inspired by this performance!” Kar-en Chanay, a 1982 gradu-ate of Malone University, and a former member of the choir, added, “They’re excellent. This was very uplifting and it brings back fond memories for me”.

The start of the 128th General Assembly marks the beginning of the bud-get drafting process, which occurs every two years here at the state capitol. This process is a collab-orative effort among the governor, the Ohio House of Representatives and the Ohio Senate to produce a bill that accurately reflects Ohio’s fiscal priorities and needs. The state budget is the largest policy statement in a General Assembly, and covers topics from school funding to Medicaid. It is also the expression of how taxpayers’ money will be used over the next two years. The budget process commences when the governor submits his bud-get proposal to the Ohio House, where the bill is then handed over to the

House Finance and Appro-priation Committee. Bud-get bills are traditionally introduced in the House under the sponsorship of the chair of the House Fi-nance Committee. While in committee the bill will undergo extensive scrutiny and revision, as members hear witness testimonies from interested members of the public, state agen-cies and other interested parties. After the committee members finish debating and working on the details of the bill, it must then be passed by a majority of the committee members. From there the bill is sent to the House floor to be voted on by all House members. The majority of the House must pass the bill before

it can be introduced in the Senate, where the budget plan undergoes a similar process. Once the budget is passed by the House and Senate, it will be sent to the governor for his signature. The governor must sign the new budget into law by June 30th so that it may be in place for the new fiscal year beginning July 1st. As state representative of the 94th House District, I know that the constitu-ents in my district, as well as citizens across Ohio, are struggling with the na-tion’s difficult economy. I can assure you that my colleagues and I are deter-mined to strengthen Ohio’s economy and will continue to work together to make sound decisions that will prepare us for the future. I

am honored to take part in this legislative process and intend to represent my con-stituents faithfully as the budget moves through the Legislature, as well as dur-ing all legislative proceed-ings in the coming years. I am eager to help make Ohio economically com-petitive so that we might continue to show that Ohio is a great state to live, work and raise a family. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns re-garding the budget or any other state related matter. You can reach my office by calling (614) 644-6014 or by mail at State Rep-resentative Troy Balder-son, at 77 S. High Street, 11th Floor, Columbus, OH 43215. You may also email me at [email protected].

Guest Column from Rep. Troy BaldersonWorking to Pass a Balanced Budget


Stefani Udder, a former employee of The Party Package in the Down-towner Plaza, has opened “The Party Package Too!” in downtown Coshocton. The store is located at 408 Main Street in Towne Cen-tre, Coshocton, located between Century 21 Court-square Realty and Carton’s Shoes. They will be featur-ing balloons, cake supplies, party supplies and more. Udder explained that she worked 10 years for The Party Package and she is a Wilton Certified Cake dec-orator. Udder is also very involved with the Coshoc-ton County Relay for Life. When asked what is unique about the business, Udder stated that, “Our balloon

quality is second to none and when combined with our customer service and our ability to offer Wil-ton Cake classes we think The Party Package Too! is well positioned to serve the people of Coshocton County”. The business has been open since early February and Udder points out that The Party Package Too! will feature many gift and specialty items here in Coshocton that you might otherwise have to leave the community to purchase. You can contact the busi-ness at 740-623-0386. The Party Package Too! is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm. The fax number is 740-623-8018.

The Party Package Too! Opens in Downtown Coshocton

Often called “The winter ver-sion of the Coshocton Coun-ty Fair”, hundreds of area citizens mingled through the hallways and classrooms at The Coshocton County Career Center on Thursday, February 12th, to see the various wares and offerings from over one hundred Coshocton County businesses and organizations. The annual event provides an opportunity for area residents to visit the Career Center, talk to students, faculty and also enjoy a freshly prepared spa-ghetti dinner with all the trim-mings. With several demon-strations and the opportunity to see students in action, Gin-ger Reiss, Public Information Coordinator for the Career Center, stated that the evening serves two purposes. Said Re-iss, “This event is close to our sophomore visitation and it provides the opportunity for prospective students to bring their parents, and talk to in-structors about the training,

jobs and potential earnings in a particular field of techni-cal study. It is also a goodwill building event for the com-munity – we can’t do what we do without a tight partnership in the community. Area busi-nesses and members of the community are key to helping us provide a bright future for

our students”. Carol Wears, head cook at the Career Center, said that it takes over 100 pounds of spaghetti to serve the nearly 1,000 people that attend the event. “That is 22 pans of spaghetti. It’s a lot of fun and also a lot of work but we en-joy it. This is a great group of people to work with!”Dennis Rine, who has taught auto technology for 25 years at the Career Center, said that, “We’re seeing a lot of inter-est right now. Kids like cars – our enrollment is high. It’s a good field – you’re never out of a job”. Kasey King, a junior at the Career Center, who, along with Chris Kent, tore down and completely re-built a small block 350 V-8 Chevrolet engine said, “It’s a good learning experience. They have a lot to offer – you can learn a lot if you listen and if you’re truly into the au-tomotive industry I’d highly recommend it”.

Family Matters - In 2008 raised $2,218.59Team captain Georgia Summit said, “the reason for their team’s name Family Matters, is be-cause our family has had so many members struck with cancer, as well as, family members who are still survivors.” She also said, “we want to wipe out cancer!”

Gospel Hill Ministries - In 2008 raised $7000.00The team’s Captain is Nancy Modensett. Comments made by Pastor Ron Davies who said, “This team is made up of all ages. Our fundraising projects are food stands at relay, selling of alumina and cancer awareness bracelets. The team is praying for a cure of cancer!”

The original Party Package in Coshocton's Downtowner Plaza may be closing its doors but Party Package Too is opening its doors in the 400 block of Main Street downtown. The new business was approved for an $8000 loan by the port author-ity's revolving loan fund com-mittee which met last Thursday to consider the request."I'm pleased that our funds are being used in a way to support an entrepreneur who wants to preserve a long standing busi-ness in Coshocton," said Execu-tive Director T.J. Justice.Party Package Too is a one-stop shop for all family or busi-ness celebrations with a line of products also being made avail-able for classroom purposes re-quested by local teachers. The port authority's loan allows for the entrepreneur to remain em-ployed while also creating 1-2 part time positions within three years.The port authority approved two loans last year. One loan was provided to Uncorked, a wine and cheese shop in Roscoe Vil-lage, and another was provided to EVO Manufacturing which is consolidating operations from Conesville and Pataskala to Co-shocton.Most loans are provided at 2/3 prime interest. Sources of the loan funds are from the Coshoc-ton Foundation, Schooler Fam-ily Foundation, Montgomery Foundation, Coshocton Rotary Cub and the USDA. To inquire about the revolving loan, con-tact the port authority at (740)-622-7005 or visit www.coshoc-tonportauthority.com.

This filing season, there are several steps taxpayers can take to maximize their re-funds and speed the delivery of money from the IRS.Taxpayers should look into the numerous tax breaks available and take every credit, deduction and exclu-sion for which they qualify. People who had less income in 2008 could find they qual-ify for credits for which they previously did not qualify. And there are several new

benefits this year:• First-Time Homebuyer Credit: Those who bought a principal residence recently or are considering buying one should take note. This unique credit of up to $7,500 works much like a 15-year interest-free loan. A special page on IRS.gov has more details and answers to com-mon questions.• The Recovery Rebate Credit: This credit is figured like last year's Economic Stimulus Payment except that Recovery Rebate Credit amounts are based on tax year 2008 instead of 2007. Most people already re-ceived their full benefit in the form of the Economic Stim-ulus Payment. However, a taxpayer may qualify for the Recovery Rebate Credit, if,

for example, he or she did not get an Economic Stimu-lus Payment, had a child in 2008 or had a change in in-come level. If you receive this credit, it will be included in your refund and will not be issued as a separate pay-ment. See the Form 1040 In-structions, Fact Sheet 2009-3 or the information center on IRS.gov for details.• Standard Deduction for Real Estate Taxes: Taxpay-ers can claim an additional standard deduction, based on the state or local real es-tate taxes paid in 2008. The maximum deduction is $500, or $1,000 for joint filers.• Mortgage Workouts and Foreclosures: For most hom-eowners, these are now tax-free. Eligible homeowners can exclude debt forgiven on their principal residence if the balance of the loan was less than $2 million. The limit is $1 million for a mar-ried person filing a separate return. See Form 982 and its instructions for details.This Web site, IRS.gov, has more information on these and other popular credits, such as the child tax credit, the Earned Income Tax Credit and alternative fuel vehicle credit.

Maximizing Refunds and Speeding Refund Delivery from irs.gov

The IRS has received a num-ber of recurring questions in-volving stimulus payments and the recovery rebate credit. Here are some important tips to keep in mind:Taxability. The economic stimulus payment is not taxable and it should not be reported as income on the 2008 Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ.Refund delays. IRS personnel are aware of reports that er-rors in claiming the recovery rebate credit could delay tax refunds for as much as eight to 12 weeks. These reports are false. As the IRS detects and corrects return errors concern-ing the recovery rebate credit, refund delays are currently no longer than about one week.One payment. In addition, the IRS notes taxpayers will receive a single refund that includes any recovery rebate credit to which they are en-titled. The IRS will not be is-suing separate recovery rebate credit payments.Refund amounts. The IRS re-minds taxpayers they should not use their regular refund from last year in calculating the recovery rebate credit. Some taxpayers may be con-fusing their regular tax refunds with the economic stimulus payment they received when completing their 2008 tax re-turn.Direct Deposit Requests. Tax-payers who request a direct deposit will receive the refund in the form of a direct deposit even if errors are detected.

Stimulus Payments Not Taxable; Reports of Extensive Refund Delays False

In volatile markets, it's common to feel uneasy about your investments. It's only natural. But rest assured, market volatility is completely normal and is to be expected, whether you invest in a lifecycle fund, or manage your own investments.

1. Clarify your investment strategyLiving with market vola-tility is a lot easier when you have a firm investment strategy in place. To create your strategy, you'll need to understand several key fac-tors, including:

* Your time horizon * Your goals * Your tolerance for risk

Your time horizon is de-termined by counting the number of years left until you need your money. And your tolerance for risk re-flects your broader financial situation -- your savings, your income, your debt -- and how you feel about it all. Looking at the whole picture will help you clarify if your strategy should be aggressive, conservative, or somewhere in between.

2. Match investments to your comfort levelDon't let emotions get in the way of your financial goals. If you are up at night or have unsettled emotions, maybe you are not in the right investments. Never is this statement more true than in a volatile market-place. Even if your time horizon is long enough to warrant an aggressive-

growth portfolio, you need to make sure you're com-fortable with the short-term ups and downs you'll en-counter. If watching your plan balance fluctuate is too nerve-racking for you, think about re-evaluating your investment mix to find one that feels right and set realistic expectations.

3. Diversify, diversify, di-versifyOne way to help pro-tect yourself from market downturns is to own vari-ous types of investments. First, consider spreading your investments across the three asset classes -- stocks, bonds, and short-term investments. Then, to help offset risk even more, diversify the investments within each asset class. Keep in mind, however, that diversification doesn't ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

4. If you can, think long-termTo help calm the jitters caused by short-term fluc-tuations, it's a good idea to focus on long-term trends and your long-term goals. As the chart on the next page shows, dramatic short-term changes in value can be positive or negative. And historically, time has reduced the risk of holding a diversified stock portfo-lio.

5. Don’t try to time the marketNo one can consistently predict the market, not even the experts. Staying fully in-vested can give investors an opportunity to fully partici-pate in the market’s long-term upward trend. Many of the best periods to invest in stocks have been those environments that were among the most unnerving,

and attempting to move in and out of the market can also be costly. A signifi-cant portion of the market’s gains over time have tend-ed to come in concentrated periods, and investors face very long odds when trying to time the ups and downs of the market.Looking back at the per-formance of the S&P 500 since 1980, an investor who missed out on only the five best-performing days in the market would have ended up with a portfolio worth roughly 26% less than one that had been fully invested throughout the pe-riod. Further, missing just 30 of the best-performing days for the market since 1980 would have reduced the value of a portfolio by about 73%, compared to one that remained fully in-vested.1

6. Do well “on average”By investing regularly over months, years, and decades, you can actually benefit from a volatile market.

Through a time-proven in-vestment technique called dollar cost averaging, you simply put a set amount in each of your plan invest-ments every pay period, regardless of how the mar-ket’s doing. Over the years, your money buys more units of each investment option when prices are low, and fewer when the prices are high. As a result, the average price per share of your investments may be lower than if you invested all your money at once. (See the table below.) More importantly, you avoid the temptation of trying to time the market.

7. Consider a hands-off ap-proachTo help ease the pressure

of managing investments in a volatile market, some investors prefer to take a “hands-off” approach by investing in lifecycle funds for their longer-term goals. Lifecycle funds of-fer management assistance by providing investments that represent various as-set classes and investment styles in a single fund based on a single retirement date. The investments are then rebalanced on an ongoing basis to become more con-servative as the fund ap-proaches its target date and beyond. The diversification and asset allocation of life-cycle funds can help reduce volatility and risk, although they can’t ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss.

Real Living The Right Choice will be presenting a series of four free workshops to assist potential home-buyers in understanding what is currently happening in the world of real estate. Cheryl Cooksey, Realtor with Real Living The Right Choice, is coordinating the workshops and has lined up many local financial representatives to provide information on current opportunities. As Cook-sey stated, “The need for housing has not changed and for the majority of people seeking the American Dream of home ownership, the opportunity has never been bet-ter. Interest rates are at an all time low, government tax benefits are being offered and lower home prices make this a prime time to get into the housing market”. Realtors are suggesting that you discuss all current op-tions with a licensed Realtor and professionals who are in the business who are able to educate potential buyers in the market. This series is designed to provide information from professionals who are in the market and experts in their field. A question and answer session will be part of each workshop to help you further understand the various options and steps to achieve home ownership. Each workshop will be held on Saturday morn-ings in March from 10:00 am to 11:30 am at the Real Living The Right Choice office, located at 711 Walnut Street in Coshocton.

The workshop schedule is as follows; • March 7th will feature Beccy Porteus of Century Na-tional Bank speaking on the $8,000 tax credit and Jennie Thompson of Ohio Heritage Bank discussing Fixed Rate Mortgages. • March 14th will feature Laura Miller of The Home Loan Savings Bank presenting the “Welcome Home Pro-gram” and Doug Speicher of Chase Bank speaking on being a first time home buyer. The March 14th program will conclude with Cheryl Staron presenting the topic of Predatory Lending. • March 21st will feature Ken Cramer of Concorde Mortgage discussing RD, FHA and VA loans with Farm Credit Services presenting their current offerings. • The final workshop on March 28th will have Marlise Hitchens of Ohio Heritage Bank and Paula Carpenter of The Home Loan Savings Bank talking on how your cred-it score impacts the market. This workshop will conclude with representatives of Baltic State Bank discussing their products. These workshops are for anyone interested in purchas-ing a home or those who are considering moving up in a home. Please call 740-622-7653, extension 102 to regis-ter and / or more information.

How about some free Friday night entertainment? On Friday, March 6th at 7pm, the River View 7th and 8th grade choir will present “S’COOL” – a modern-day musical production led by Mrs. Dawn Anglin, choir director. The choir will per-form in the RVJH audito-rium. “It’s about everyday school life,” Anglin divulg-es. “It’s reminiscent of High School Musical – kids find-ing out who they are and re-alizing their identities.” Packed with dancing, di-alogue, and of course sing-ing, the musical was written just last year by Roger Em-erson. Anglin met the writ-er-composer during show choir camp at Heidelberg University, where Emerson was a guest clinician. Once

she read Emerson’s work, she decided she wanted her kids to perform it. Anglin had considered a junior high play/musical for several years, but schedul-ing constraints didn’t allow enough time for practice. This year, choir has been scheduled every day during the school week, allowing for more rehearsal time. She felt “S’COOL” would be the perfect fit for this year’s choir. Her instincts were right – the students took to it im-mediately. “I don’t even have to ask them to practice – they ask me when they can get started,” Anglin laughs. “The music is catchy and current. The kids are the true indicator – they love singing it.” There are quite a few

solo speaking / singing parts in the musical, but Anglin considers the “lead” roles to be comprised of a group of 8th grade choir members. “S’COOL” features Kassidy Meek, Alexis Speicher, Gar-rett Gee, Austin Bible, Zach Pessia, and Courtney Ank-rum. Anglin’s pride in her kids is evident. “I’ve seen many students take on leadership roles to get the ball rolling,” she praises. Preston Samp-sel, an 8th grader at RVJH, designed flyers for the pro-duction and even took care of making calls to Sprint Print to have them printed. Anglin is hopeful they will have another produc-tion next year, but they need to raise funds in order to prepare the sets. “We basi-cally had no budget for this

performance,” she points out, “so all proceeds from the evening’s food stand will benefit our next choir production.” Prior to the performance, you can enjoy hot, homemade food in the Commons area from 5:30pm until 6:45pm. Funding aside, much time and effort has gone into this production. Anglin made it the focus of the current nine weeks grading period, so the choir has really poured their hearts and souls into deliv-ering a terrific performance; and she upholds it has taken more than rehearsals to en-sure a successful evening. Randy Thomas of the custo-dial staff and Scott Limburg, River View’s transportation and food service director, were especially instrumen-tal in creating and securing props for the show. “We are really grateful to them,” An-glin expresses.

Everyone involved is hoping to see a full house on perfor-mance night. Mrs. Sharon Tatro, junior high principal, knows how important it is for the kids to have commu-nity support. “The students always appreciate the grati-tude they see from the audi-ence.” Tatro herself always looks forward to the choir’s performances. “I can’t wait

National FFA WeekFebruary 21-28, 2009

How many times have you heard a student say, “When will I ever use this in life?” As Agricultural Education students, FFA members get to apply what they learn in the classroom to real-life scenarios in competi-tive situations called Ca-reer Development Events. Through CDE’s, students are able to exercise their learning and have the op-portunity to earn monetary awards, gain recognition for their accomplishments, and travel for higher level competitions. During the year, River View FFA members par-ticipate in many CDE’s. In 2008, members partici-pated in three events at the State FFA Convention. Jesse Wright, Suzie Mc-Mullen, Tyler Hess, and Joshua Rice competed in the Agricultural Engineer-ing event, and placed 24th. The Cooperative Educa-tion team consisted of Car-ly Babcock, Duane Stutz-man, Seth Cunningham, Brittany Rich, and Drew Courtright, and placed 33rd as a team. The team of Morgan Landis, Em-ily Stout, Jordon Mullett, Charity McMullen, and Casey Wilson competed in the Greenhand Quiz con-test and placed 13th at the state competition.There are a number of CDE’s that are held in the spring. Members of the Agronomy team earned a banner to recognize their accomplishment of plac-ing fourth at the state lev-el. The team was led by

member Jesse Wright, who earned a fifth place indi-vidual placing, and round-ed out by Suzie McMullen, Nick Gustin, and Morgan Landis. Nine members participated in the Equine Management CDE, which placed thirty-first at the state level. Team members were Duane Stutzman, Kelsey Fowler, Lindsey Good, Jordain Latham, Charity McMullen, Carly Babcock, Brittany Rich, Kim Alton, and Mandy Rice. The General Live-stock team of Joel Hamric and Evan Ehman earned a 122nd place finish.Career Development Events are also held dur-ing the winter season. The Food Science & Technol-ogy team earned a banner recognizing their accom-plishment of placing fourth at the state level. Suzie Mc-Mullen placed fourth in the individual rankings to lead the team, which was com-pleted by members Molly Daniel, Charity McMullen, and Jordon Mullett. River View FFA’s Agricultural Sales team placed tenth with members Charity Mc-Mullen, Brittany Rich, Su-zie McMullen, and Duane Stutzman.All members are encour-aged to participate in Ca-reer Development Events so that they have a chance to apply the knowledge gained in the classroom to real-life situations. It gives them a chance to answer the question “When will I ever use this in life?”

Using What You Learn in Real Life

Several of the Ridgewood FFA Chapter officers attended the fall COLT conference (chapter officer leadership training) held in Colum-bus. The highlight was getting to tour the statehouse and seeing agricultural politics at work. Pictured here are six members of the chapter posing in the Capital building.

In September, the River View FFA chapter holds a Barnyard Olym-pics to allow new and existing members to get to know each other. Here, members Suzie McMullen, Anisha Seitz, Zane Lambert, Dan-ielle Wells, Mandy Rice, and Michael Hedrick complete the 2 x 4 skiing competition.

Seven members of the River View FFA Chapter attended the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, In-diana in October of 2008. On their way to the convention they stopped at COSI in Columbus to engage in hands-on science learning and to have a little fun. While they were at the convention, the members attended sessions, lis-tened to guest speakers, and visited the career show, where they learned about different colleges, universities, technical schools, and resources for

agriculturalists. The first session they attended consisted of the recognition of the recipients of the Agri-Entre-preneurship awards, the introduction of the National Officer Candidates, and a retiring address by the Eastern Region Vice President. During their second session they heard the retiring address from the Southern Region Vice President and saw award pre-sentations for Creed Speaking, Pub-lic Speaking, and Extemporaneous Speaking contests. Also, they saw the Agriscience student and teacher

recognition along with Agriscience Fair finalists. To round out the sec-ond session they listened to Michael Peterson, who was one of the guest speakers. Finally, at their third session they watched the American Degree Cer-emony where they watched graduate members of their own chapter receive their American Degree. These mem-bers were Ben Young, Katie Croft, and Derek Weatherwax.

River View FFA Members Attend National Convention

Members Mandy Rice, Jordain Latham, Emily Stout, Jordon Mullett, Joel Hamric, and Drew Courtright visited the state Capitol building after attending the COLT conference, a leadership development workshop. Ridgewood FFA started a small animal cooperative for urban stu-

dents in the West Lafayette community to raise chickens and rab-bits to show at the Coshocton County Fair. Despite everyone being rookies, everyone involved learned much and had fun doing it!

Seven River View FFA members attended the National FFA Conven-tion in Indianapolis. The members who attended were Michael He-drick, Kyle Lowe, Morgan Carey, Suzie McMullen, Morgan Landis, Nelson Seevers, and Craig Hunter.

The largest fundraiser of the year, the annual winter fruit sale gen-erates enough profits for the Ridgewood Chapter to attend judging contest, conferences, and provide food for monthly meetings.

Members of the Ridgewood FFA Chapter went on an officer training retreat in August at FFA Camp Muskingum where they met tough obstacles (like this one), but through teamwork they were able to complete each task.

Premier leadership – the ultimate ability to lead in situations in which a per-son finds himself or her-self. Membership in the FFA provides students with many opportunities to develop their capac-ity for premier leadership. Students have the chance to participate in confer-ences ranging from one evening to multiple days.

Conferences available to the students are COLT conference, Made for Ex-cellence, and Washington Leadership Conference. In 2008-2009, ten students participated in these lead-ership development oppor-tunities.During these opportuni-ties, students heard from motivational speakers, interacted with members

from other chapters, and attended workshops on goal-setting and motivat-ing others. Through their participation in these con-ferences, members are able to develop their potential as well as learning how to best help other members to best develop their poten-tial.

The River View Agricul-tural Department, along with members of the Wal-honding Valley Farmers, held the 43rd annual Corn Club Banquet at River View High School on Tues-day, February 10th. The club, chartered at Warsaw in 1957, was the first corn club chartered in Coshoc-ton County. Charter Mem-bers were Ed Jones, Jerry Veigel, Norman Cullison, Lewis Allen, Ronnie Ro-dehaver, John Fox and instructor Mr. D. D. Ken-nedy. Following a deli-cious meal of Monterey Chicken, pork loin, corn, fruit, rolls, butter and pie, which was prepared by Sheila Guthrie, guests and officers of the River View FFA Chapter were excused to the library to hear the guest speaker and for the awards presentation. Marty Domer of the Blue Ribbon Fish Farm was the guest speaker and talked about

the growing demand for farm raised fish. As Domer explained, “the supply is shrinking and the demand is growing. Lake Erie is only harvesting around one to one and a half million pounds of yellow perch per year versus twelve mil-lion pound 25 years ago”. Domer went on to say that this “is a wide open mar-ket. If your neighbor is successful then you’re suc-cessful. Buyers want to buy in large quantities versus small so we all help each other. There is really a lot of potential with lots of op-portunity for spinoffs, like bait, fish dinners, etc. Fish could literally breathe life back into the small family farm”.Martin Daugherty, who, along with son Bill, farms 1100 acres, earned the honor of being the club’s top producer in 2008, said that, “We must have had the rain at the right time.

The state of farming is still good – it’s a lot of hard work. It’s hard for a young person to get started. When asked about the award, Daugherty said, “This was a surprise to me!” Trophies for the evening’s festivi-

ties were sponsored by the Coshocton Soil and Water Conservation District and the Coshocton Grain Com-pany. Plaques were donat-ed by Chase Bank.

Former student Jesse Wright orchestrated the construction of a human-driven engine that members of the chapter "drove" through the Warsaw Memorial Day parade.

The Ridgewood FFA newly formed "8th grade aggie club" is a hit in the middle school. Here the chapter is at a leadership conference in Columbus learning the value of "leaning" on each other when working with teams.

Each year, leaders in the River View FFA chapter are elected to serve on the chapter officer team. For 2008 – 2009, eight mem-bers were selected to par-ticipate as part of the officer team. Senior Suzie McMul-len served as President, se-nior Morgan Carey as Vice President, senior Morgan Landis as Vice President, junior Duane Stutzman as Vice President, junior Drew Courtright as Secretary, se-nior Michael Hedrick as Treasurer, junior Brittany Rich as Reporter, and senior Craig Hunter as Sentinel.These eight officers were

required to spend the year leading the chapter meet-ings, planning chapter ac-tivities, and participating in training and leadership exercises. They began their year of service when they were installed into their respective offices at the an-nual banquet in April, and will retire from their of-fices at the annual banquet in April 2009. During the year, the officers attended District Officer Training, went to leadership confer-ences during the summer, and awarded chapter mem-bers for their accomplish-ments at ceremonies.

Summer jobs, after-school jobs, market animals, breeding livestock, and running your own business. All examples of Super-vised Agricultural Experi-ences that FFA members can operate. Students are able to make money, learn record-keeping skills, and invest their earnings in ei-ther their entrepreneurship SAE or in other assets. Through partici-pation in the River View FFA, students have the op-

portunity to be members of two different coopera-tives that are offered by the chapter. One of these is the firewood cooperative, which allows students to gain experience in cutting timber, safely operating a chainsaw, and splitting logs into correctly sized firewood. They also are responsible for marketing and delivering the firewood to members of the commu-nity. Another cooperative opportunity for students

is the hog co-op. Through this co-op, students raise and produce market bar-rows and gilts that are ex-hibited at the county fair. Students who are successful in their respec-tive SAE areas are able to gain recognition for their accomplishments through proficiency awards. In 2008, two graduate mem-bers of the River View FFA gained high honors at the state level for their achieve-ments in their SAE’s. Ka-

tie Croft, daughter of Neil and Debbie Croft, won first place in Home and Community Development. Croft went on to repremit Ohio at the national level, where she earned a silver rating. Ben Young, son of Nelvin Young and Steve and Rajene Fox, placed second in the area of Di-versified Crop Production – Entrepreneurship.

Supervised Agricultural Experiences

River View FFA graduate members Ben Young, Katie Croft, and Derek Weatherwax earned the highest degree given by the National FFA Organization when they re-ceived their American FFA Degrees in October.

River View FFA members Jessica Breneman, Anisha Seitz, and Jessie Carnes pack gift boxes during the chapter's annual fruit sale fundraiser. Members of the River View

FFA chapter attended the State Convention in May of 2008 where they attended sessions, listened to guest speakers, competed in Ca-reer Development Events, and received numerous awards.Sisters Allyssa and Suzie McMullen received their State FFA degrees, having earned the degree through the results of their Super-vised Agricultural Experi-ences. Suzie also received a Washington Leadership Conference scholarship from the Ohio FFA Alum-

ni. Michael Hedrick was recognized for receiving a Gold rating on his Treasur-er’s book. Katie Croft won first place in the Home and Community Development proficiency area for work she completed at her family farm. Ben Young was sec-ond in the Diversified Crop Production – Entrepreneur-ship proficiency area. Kim Shepler performed in the percussion portion of the State FFA Band and Duane Stutzman sang in the State FFA choir.

to come and enjoy the sights and sounds of our youth ... both Mrs. Anglin and Mr. Wagner in our music depart-ment consistently provide meaningful ways for our musical students to shine. It’s always a family event for me, my husband and my five-year old, and we’re al-ways excited to attend.” Choir director Anglin feels the same way when it comes to community encour-agement. You don’t have to have a child or grandchild in the choir to enjoy what these youths have to offer. “The production is so entertain-ing, and valuable and worth-while,” Anglin says. “They just have so much talent.” Not to mention it’s free, so come enjoy it! “In a stressed economy such as this, it’s a way to experience an evening of free entertain-ment,” she reasons, “and the kids really appreciate seeing a full audience out there.”

The All Ohio Youth Choir, un-der the direction of Mr. Charles R. Snyder, presented a winter concert at the Coshocton High School McKinley Auditorium on Sunday afternoon, Febru-ary 15th. The All Ohio Youth Choir has been called Ohio’s “Singing Ambassadors of Goodwill”. Mr. Snyder has

led the choir since 1992 and focuses on vocal health due to the rigor-ous schedule the All Ohio Youth Choir follows at The Ohio State Fair

each summer. Marching up to ten miles each day and per-forming six to eight concerts takes a toll on the young men and women, yet, their cama-raderie and strong bonds of friendship can be seen before, during and after their concerts. Many hugs, laughs and even a few tears were shed follow-

ing the concert as members of the choir will be separated by different career paths and the distance of miles. River View senior Luke Widder, a talented musician in his own right, said of the All Ohio Youth Choir, “It’s the greatest decision I’ve made. There’s such a connec-tion and camaraderie – it’s like another family”.Julie Rice, a counselor in train-ing and former member of the All Ohio Youth Choir, said of the performance, “It was really good – really an impressive performance!”Rice has a sis-ter, Melanie, who is currently in the choir. Saying about her sister being in the choir, “It’s cool because I know she’ll have some great experiences”.
