Southwest Licking Local School District

Union offers three-year pay freeze

By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Southwest Licking Education Association offered to freeze teachers’ pay for three years during an April 14 special meeting of the school board.

The teachers union’s proposal would include both base pay and annual step increases that are awarded for years of experience and education.

The amount could save the district

$1.8 million over three years.

“We offered to roll over the contract for three years and freeze both base pay and step increases,” association president Scott Parks said. “According to our treasurer, you’re looking at $300,000 a year, and over three years it’s about $1.8 million.”

Parks said the amount compounds each year because each foregone step increase applies to the following years.

“You have $300,000 this year, then

next year $600,000, which is $300,000 from the first year, plus the next step, which is $300,000,” Parks said. “Then in the third year, you’re saving $300,000 from the first year again, $300,000 from the second year again, then $300,000 from the third year, which is $900,000 for that year. It kind of compounds itself over the three years.”

The teachers have been considering their proposal for the last month or so as the union began to prepare for con-

tract negotiations for the contract that expires June 30.

“The association has looked at the financial condition of the district and discussed things we could do to help out,” Parks said. “It’s probably a month that we’ve sat and looked at things and considered things. We went to our membership a few weeks ago and asked what they wanted to do. They voted overwhelmingly that they would like to offer the three-year rollover.”

Safe Routes to School

C OLLEGE FAIR Pataskala

receives grant to improve sidewalks

By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The city of Pataskala received more than $400,000 in grant money from the Ohio Department of Transportation last week as part of the “Safe Routes to School” program.

The program provides money to improve sidewalks and other transportation infrastructure within two miles of school buildings.

“About two miles is what students can be expected to walk or bike,” said city planning and zoning director Dianne Harris.

Harris said the amount of the grant is smaller than the request, but that the city should be able to provide sidewalk improvements on Summit Road as far as the railroad tracks north of the main Licking Heights campus.

“We did not get everything we asked for, but we will have a very nice program from it and significant improvements on Summit Road in the area of the schools, including our longawaited flashing school zone signs,” Harris said.

Harris said it is unlikely that construction would begin this year, but it should be ready for the 2012-13 school year.

“I’m not sure the new infrastructure can be completed before the start of next school year,” Harris said.

The grant includes $28,000 for education and programming, and $407,000 for construction and engineering, according to ODOT documents.

Pataskala Mayor Steve Butcher said Harris has successfully completed several grant applications for the city during her tenure.

“We were fully committed to this project and confident in the grant application so this is indeed wonderful news,” Butcher said.

The state awarded at total of $11.6 million to 90 projects throughout Ohio. The money is provided by the federal Department of Transportation.

The funds may be spent on engineering, construction, education, enforcement and project evaluation. Grants ranged from as low as $1,000 to $500,000.

ODOT director Jerry Wray said the program is intended to encourage students to be See SIDEWALKS, page A2

Parks said there have been no formal negotiations with the district, but that informally, the district was aware that the teachers were considering the possibility.

“We did not officially offer anything until last night, but we had discussed it informally because we had to get figures and budgets and those things,” Parks said.

Etna Township’s economic-development committee met April 14 to discuss several pending matters, including the “Etna” postal code identity project, a biofuels project the committee hopes the township will establish in the next few months, a completed draft comprehensive plan that will go before township trustees April 26 and protection of the township’s drinking-water supplies.

The postal identity program is now fully operational, so that township residents and businesses may begin using “preferred last line” addresses of Etna, Ohio, instead of Reynoldsburg or Pataskala.

“I will start contacting different agencies so that people are aware they have this option,” said zoning administrator Chris Harkness.

The program is voluntary, but the committee hopes to encourage its use to consolidate an “Etna” identify for businesses and future development.

The committee also discussed organizing a conference call with academic experts and officials from Utah and North Carolina to determine the possibility of using highway rights of way for a biofuels program. The committee has been working See ETNA, page A3 Photos by Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek

Art teacher wins Licking County Foundation award

By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Licking Heights art teacher Mandy Rubino was surprised in her classroom April 13 when superintendent Thomas Tucker, principal James Kennedy and Licking County Foundation director Connie Hawk walked in unannounced.

Rubino was preparing for the next class and wasn’t quite sure why they were there.

“They kind of hemmed and hawed for a bit,” Rubino said.

“But they had cameras and the kids were really excited.”

Rubino was presented with an original work of art, a glass sculpture in the shape of apple that was prepared at The Works in Newark. Each year, the Licking County Foundation recognizes 14 teachers, at least one in each school district in the county, for outstanding teaching.

ART TEACHER Continued from page A1 Kennedy said Rubino was chosen for the honor because of her efforts with staff and students.

Rubino teaches art to second-, third- and fourth-grade students at Licking Heights South Elementary School, which has more than 800 students.

“She goes to great lengths to exhibit their work,” Kennedy said. “They work throughout the year to exhibit different art in places in the community and she submits students for consideration for awards and competitions. She has a caring attitude with kids and staff and she does a lot.”

Hawk said teachers are selected on the basis of the following criteria: They believe all students can and want to learn; they make a significant difference in the lives and learning of their students; and they are committed to professional development and outstanding classroom skills.

The selections are made by the superintendent’s office, which consults with the staff.

The common element over the years is that all the teachers go above and beyond.

They care and are passionate about what they are teaching.

CONNIE HAWK Licking County Foundation director

“It promotes and recognizes exemplary teachers in our county,” Hawk said.

The program started in 1993, with more than 250 teachers having been recognized since then.

Honorees are eligible to apply for $500 grants for classroom supplies and projects.

The foundation budgets $10,000 annually from the Lindorf-Warner Memorial donor advised fund.

“The donors understand how hard teachers work in the class-

room,” Hawk said, noting the grants have been used for field trips, books, technology and professional development.

“The common element over the years is that all the teachers go above and beyond,” Hawk said. “They care and are passionate about what they are teaching.”

Rubino said it is gratifying to have building administration recognize classroom activity.

“I try hard to put our students’ artwork out in the community,” Rubino said. “It’s displayed at a local restaurant and a bank.

We hang the work in our school and we’ll have an art show in a couple of weeks.

“It’s a great way to get them to think creatively and problemsolve. They learn about artists and a lot of different materials.”

Rubino said the students enjoy working with physical materials that are new to them.

“I want to instill an appreciation of art and help them identify their strengths, whether it is drawing or painting or clay, and help them grow throughout the year,” Rubino said.

PAY FREEZE Continued from page A1 Parks said there was some discussion of alternatives, but in general there was widespread agreement among the teachers to make the proposal.

“There was overwhelming consensus to do this,” Parks said.

“Was there discussion of all the options? Yes.” During a previous special meeting in March, the board had agreed upon cuts amounting to approximately $1.7 million of a total of $2 million that treasurer Richard Jones had said was necessary to balance the budget during the next two years.

Representatives from the Teamsters Union in the district said their members also were

considering a salary freeze in support of the district budget.

The school board did not respond to the union offers during the meeting.

“They did not accept or decline,” Parks said. “They did not comment much on it at all. We thought it was a significant gesture on our part. We know these are trying times for school districts, with Mr. Kasich’s budget and everything else.”

Jones said the teamsters and teachers together would save the district about $360,000 for each step increase, more than $2 million overall during the three-year period. Jones said cuts already approved by the board amount to $1.7 million for next year’s budget.

The board also approved increasing the high school extracurricular activity fee to $235, the middle school fee to $110 and the band fee to $170, with a total family cap of $750 annually. The substitute teacher daily stipend is to be cut from $95 to $80, which is projected to save $60,000 annually.

Johnstown Feed Mill to become part of Granville Milling

By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The last fully functional mill in Johnstown will close June 1 and become Granville Milling.

The company, which has been operated by Brent Fetters and his father, Luther, since 1961, will mark its 50th anniversary that day. “We’re just going to kind of slide into home base and touch the corner, so we’ll have been here 50 years,� Brent Fetters said. “That’s a good thing.�

Granville Milling, which currently operates six retail locations, will continue to manufacture and mix feed and fertilizer at its main facility in Granville, and Fetters will continue to work in Johnstown as a manager.

The Johnstown mill will become the seventh retail location for Granville Milling. “We’re going to manufacture feed in Granville, then we plan on acquiring ground somewhere in Johnstown and have a retail store there in Johnstown,� said Phil Watts, president of Granville Milling. “We hope do to that in the next year.�

In 1961, there were three operating mills in Johnstown alone, Fetters told The Independent. Today there are three in all of Licking County, and when Johnstown Feed Mill closes, there will be just two. “Fifty years ago when we came here, with three mills running, we would open at 7 a.m. and we’d be lucky if we were finished at 5 p.m.,� he said. “The farmers would pick ear corn, and you’d take pickup trucks and go pick it up, grind it and deliver it that day. We’d start the grinder at 7 and never shut it off.�

In the 1960s, small farms were common and most farmers raised livestock.

Starting in the 1970s, though, farm operations began consolidating. “We had a lot of small farmers and most of them would have hogs, sheep, chickens, and they’d farm 50 to 200 acres,� Fetters said. “Today it’s not that way. People have gotten bigger, with more equipment. “You could go to Mt. Vernon and buy feeder pigs any day of the week,� he said. “We’d take 30 head hogs to Ohio Pack every week. But today you’d be hard-pressed to find a market to take them to.

The Fetters family has owned the mill for 50 years, and it will officially change hands on its golden anniversary. (Right) Bob Wilson climbs down after making sure that 3 tons of cattle feed are flowing through the mill to a truck on April 14.

A closer look Granville Milling, which currently operates six retail locations, will continue to manufacture and mix feed and fertilizer at its main facility in Granville. The Johnstown Feed Mill will become the seventh retail location for Granville Milling. When the Johnstown mill closes, there will be only two operating mills in the entire county, according to Brent Fetters, whose family owned the Johnstown mill for 50 years.

“The efficiency is just not there for a smaller operation. Today, we’re servicing kids doing 4H projects, advising them on health and nutrition, and the horse business has gotten real big.�

Bessie Meier has worked at the mill for 17 years, since the company she worked for closed when she was in her

50s, and Luther Fetters, who delivered propane to her house, said they needed someone at the mill. “We’re going at a much faster pace today than before,� Meier said. “People are more in a hurry. You kind of lose the hometown feeling, that you care about people. “That’s why people come here,� she said. “We treat them like family. You used to have people come in here and sit and talk, but nobody does that any more. They don’t have time.�

Granville Milling also operates in Delaware and Guernsey counties and is likely to continue expanding. Watts said it is necessary today. “It’s changed quite a bit,� Watts said. “There is less animal agriculture in Licking County than 30 years ago. “That part of the business has really changed. It’s more consumer business dog food, bird feed, and show animals and companion animals instead of mainstream livestock farming,� he said. “You kind of have to grow, to spread the fixed costs among more outlets.�

Tax programs are available to ease burden on residents In today’s tough economy, everyone is looking for an opportunity to save money. Thus, Licking County homeowners should take advantage of every tax reduction to which they are entitled. I want to make sure you know that there are ways to reduce your taxes in Licking County, including four suggestions listed here that may benefit you.

First, all homeowners who live in their own home as their principal place of residence qualify for the 2.5-percent property-tax reduction.

Second, if your property has been damaged by fire or other means, you may be eligible for a temporary reduction in your taxes.

Third, some county residents are eligible for a tax break for the current agricultural use value (CAUV) of their property.

Finally, adults who turn 65 years old this year, who are already 65 or older and persons with disabilities may be eligible for the homestead exemption, a $25,000 reduction in the current value of their property.

For example, if the $25,000 homestead exemption reduces a homeowner’s current value in the Johnstown-Monroe Local School District, the taxes will be reduced $350 or more depending on the

taxing district.

So, it is important to file with the auditor’s office for your homestead exemption.

MICHAEL L. I mentioned SMITH that some property owners might be eligible for a tax reduction for current agricultural use value (CAUV). The CAUV program helps reduce the tax burden for real-estate owners who are engaged in commercial farming.

For those of you familiar with CAUV, you are aware the calculation of the CAUV is based upon a formula taking into account the last seven years of cropping patterns, crop prices, crop yields, non-land production costs and capitalization rates to determine the net profit per acre for each of the 3,560 soil types in Ohio.

In the past few years, crop

prices have increased, yields are near record highs and the capitalization rates are low, all contributing to a significant increase in CAUV values for 2011. More information about CAUV will be coming soon from the auditor’s office. The filing deadline for CAUV is June 6.

Please take advantage of these programs to ease your tax burden.

All of the information and applications needed to determine if you qualify for these tax breaks are available at the Licking County Auditor’s Office, open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays at 20 S. Second St. in Newark, and online at www.lcounty.com/auditor.

I want to thank you for the opportunity to serve as your county auditor and please contact me or my staff with any questions or concerns.

Michael L. Smith serves as auditor for Licking County.

Watkins Memorial High School athletics director John McGiffin will be submitting a familiar name to the school board for girls soccer coach.

McGiffin said he’ll recommend Alex Stout, a 2006 graduate, to the board at either its May or June meeting. Stout was the starting goalkeeper on the team that captured the Division II boys state championship in

third-team NAIA All-American in 2009.

“We had several strong candidates,” McGiffin said. “We interviewed five of them, and we think we got a pretty good coach.

We’re hoping he can take our girls program to a higher level.”

If approved, Stout will replace Michelle Lisy, who stepped down after leading the Warriors to a 12-32-6 record in three seasons. That included a Division I tournament victory in 2008.

They finished 5-9-3 last fall.

•The baseball team was living dangerously early in the season. A five-game winning streak included three consecutive victories in which the Warriors prevailed in their final at-bat, and they had trailed in all five.

They fell behind 4-1 after four innings April 13 at Delaware, and the result was a 10-5 loss that came on the heels of a 7-4 home loss to New Albany on April 8. Watkins trailed 6-3 after See WARRIORS, page B2

Licking Heights Roundup

Stakely, teammates giving baseball team bevy of quality starts

By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Licking Heights High School baseball player Mick Stakely likes to finish what he starts.

That being said, he wasn’t too disappointed not to pitch a fourth consecutive complete game to open the season when the Hornets defeated visiting Liberty Union 8-5 in a key MSL-Cardinal Division game April 13. The junior was taken out with one out in the seventh inning and Josh Hoar came on to earn the save.

“It’s big,” Stakely said. “They beat us twice last year.”

Liberty Union, which several coaches said was the preseason favorite to win the league, lost for the second time in MSL-Cardinal play while the Hornets ended a two-game losing streak and were 5-1 in league play after beating Millersport 11-0. West Jefferson was 41 in league play after falling to Fisher Catholic 7-1 on April 14.

“I couldn’t be more pleased coming out of the gate like we have,” coach

Jeff Boyer said of his pitching staff.

“Mick, Josh and Zack (Dunbrack) have given us quality starts every time out, and we haven’t even pitched Dalton (Golden) yet (through eight games).

Zack, he pitched well enough to win, too (striking out seven with only one walk in a 4-1 loss to West Jefferson on April 8). We just didn’t give him any run support.”

Stakely improved to 4-0 and likely will make his next start at home against Grandview on Monday, April 18. Entering the Liberty Union game, he had allowed only one earned run in 19 innings for a 0.37 ERA. He was 1-3 last spring and entered this season battling a shoulder injury.

“I’ve just tried to step up and help the team,” he said. “We lost one of our best starters (when Cody Bailey graduated a year ago), but we’re deeper pitchingwise now than we have been.”

Hoar won his first two starts, which included a five-hit complete game to beat Berne Union 4-3 on April 5 even See HORNETS, page B2

By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek

Mic Stakely of Licking Heights delivers a pitch en route to earning the victory as the Hornets beat visiting Liberty Union 8-5 on April 13.

The Granville High School track and field teams are off to a faster start than coach Bob Hollen expected.

The Blues Aces have more than 130 athletes out, including 74 boys. When asked before opening the season in the Dick Houston Relays at Licking Valley on April 7 if that depth would equate to team victories, Hollen preferred to take a cautious approach.

“That’s what we’re hoping for, anyway,” he said. “It may not help so much at the early meets, but we’ll see. Our schedule is kind of funky here at the beginning.”

After finishing third at Licking Valley as Watkins Memorial swept the titles, the boys team totaled 127.5 points to win the Granville Invitational on April 8 as Caledonia River Valley was second (80.5). The girls team, which placed fourth at Watkins Memorial, was edged 86-81 by Heath, which should only add further intrigue to next month’s MSL-Ohio Division meet.

The Bulldogs outscored Granville’s girls team 161-152 to win last year’s league championship after the Blue Aces had unseated Heath as the two-time champion in 2009. Granville’s boys team pulled out a 123.5122 victory over Columbus Academy to win a third consecutive MSL-Ohio title.

Cody Lenfest, a sophomore who was Granville’s third-best jumper a year ago, cleared 6 feet, 2 inches in the high jump to win the event at the home meet. That has him tied for fifth in the first central Ohio honor roll of the season. Lenfest also won the triple jump (40-0) while his brother, freshman Casey, won the 200 meters (23.33 seconds) to post the team’s other victory.

Heath’s girls team posted topfive finishes, including a runner-up showing at Licking Valley, in its first four meets while facing plenty of Division I competition. The Bulldogs were the Division II district runner-up (81) behind Hartley (121) last spring as Granville (77), which continues to be led by a strong distance group anchored by seniors Anna Lamb and Megan Gaysunas, finished third. Hartley edged second-place Granville 91-90.5 for the Division II, district 2 boys title.

“Heath’s got the top (girls) throwers in the area,” Hollen said. “They’ve got some hurdlers and (senior) Emily McCall (a state qualifier in the 1,600) in the distance events, too. They’re going to be very strong, no question.”

Heath senior Liz Clippinger, a state qualifier in both throwing events a year ago, is ranked fourth in the shot put (39-9) and seventh in the discus (107-1) in See TRACK, page B3

Continued from page B1 three innings in that game.

“The games we’ve lost, well, we deserved to lose them,” coach Don Schone said. “We got beat

by New Albany even though they only had four hits. We gave up 10 walks, though, and that’ll kill your chances every time no matter if you’re hitting well in the clutch or not.

“Of the 36 batters we faced, we went to a three-ball count on 14 of them. You’re going to have trouble when you do that.”

Schone is utilizing a pitching staff that’s deeper than in recent seasons and includes multiple left-handers. The Warriors got four wins from relievers through eight games, including senior D.J. Collins’ two.

Reno Reda and Evan Werner had the others.

“It sets up nicely because we have a lot of options,” Schone said. “We can situational pitch, and not many people have that luxury. I know I haven’t in the past.

“As we get deeper into the season, and with games backing up like they are (because of weather-related postponements), that should help us.”

The Warriors are scheduled to play OCC-Capital games on three consecutive days starting with Olentangy Orange at home Monday, April 18. That series continues two days later at Orange. They’ll also play a makeup game at New Albany on Tuesday, April 19. The Eagles scored twice in the bottom of the seventh inning to defeat Orange 4-3 on April 13, improving to 9-1 overall and 4-0 in the OCC-Capital.

“If teams don’t have enough pitching they’re going to be in trouble,” Schone said. “The weather’s definitely impacting things; how much so, we’ll see in the next couple of weeks.

Trouble is, now we don’t have a lot of margin for error.”

Continued from page B1 though his teammates supported him with only one hit. The senior had allowed four earned runs in 14 innings for a 2.00 ERA. Zak Scott, the starting catcher, also has pitched well in the closer’s role.

“We have a pitching coach (Nick McIlwain) this year and we didn’t last year,” Stakely said, referring to the school’s boys golf coach. “Everybody worked real hard in the offseason, too.”

Boyer said his team focused more on pitching and defense in the preseason. The Hornets have been known more for their hitting in recent seasons, but a slew of graduates last spring included four-year offensive catalyst Dan Pennington.

“Like everyone else, we spent a lot of time in the gym,” Boyer said. “This year, we changed up the emphasis a little bit. We worked a lot more on pitching and our glove work where it used to be about a 50-50 mix.

It’s definitely showing.”

Offensively, Boyer expects his lineup to come around as the weather warms. Getting senior Graham Jonker, who bats second behind Dunbrack, back from a concussion should help.

Boyer is being careful with the injury, but he said Dunbrack could return as early as this week. In the interim, Boyer has moved Scott up in the order to hit second ahead of Ronnie Dawson and Hoar.

Defensively, Ty Stallings has settled into center field while Bryan Haist has enjoyed a strong start playing in left or right field.

OHSAA votes down spring football practice Girls soccer expanding to three divisions next season

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The OHSAA sparked emotion in more than one direction April 7 when it denied a proposal from the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association to allow a two-week period of skill instruction in May. According to the official OHSFCA release that has been posted online by several news outlets, including JJHuddle.com, the proposal asked for two weeks of football instruction during the final two weeks of May. The timeframe for the workouts would have been a maximum of 10 hours and would not have exceeded more than two hours per workout.

Also as part of the proposal, athletes participating in an OHSAA spring sport would have been required to complete their season before participating in the football workouts.

For spring sport coaches such as A.J. Auld of the Dublin Jerome High School boys lacrosse program, the OHSAA’s unanimous rejection relieves the continuing pressure for prep athletes to specialize.

“I encourage my guys to be multi-sport athletes because it’s good for a number of reasons,” Auld said. “I know the OHSAA promotes all sports and not just football. If they approved this, why would they just allow one sport to be able to do that? Why wouldn’t they allow basketball to do it? I have a good relationship with the football coach at Jerome, and us sharing players has been mutually beneficial. I know I can’t simulate the intensity (during a practice) that one of my players can have going up against one of their rivals on a Friday night, and the same is

true in the other direction.”

For others such as Brookhaven’s Steve Ayers, the OHSAA’s decision to deny the proposal was “kind of disappointing.”

In its official release, the OHSAA cited “concerns over the impact it would have on other spring sports, as well as the requests that would come from other sports.”

The OHSAA indicated, however, that it is examining the possibility of expanding the 10 days of coaching currently permitted over the summer in all team sports.

Some of the nation’s most recruited football states, including California, Florida and Texas, are among those that have some format that includes spring football practice.

“We really don’t get that many days in the summer,” said Ayers, who is an assistant football coach with the Bearcats and the school’s head coach for wrestling and boys track and field. “Down south they all have spring football, and as a state it kind of puts us behind. It seems like another thing to hold us back. We kind of felt good that they were thinking about it. When coaches collaborate, they can work it out.”

Among the reasons the OHSFCA created the proposal was a concern regarding AAU flag football programs and their influence on OHSAA-sponsored football.

In addition, it cited a lack of opportunity for Ohio high school football players to display their skills to college coaches during the May recruiting period.

“I know a lot of people might be against it, but obviously I’m a football coach and I’m also a football fan,” Dublin Coffman football coach Mark Crabtree said. “Anything that can be done to promote the sport of football I’m in favor of doing. During the last two weeks of May, most of our players are doing absolutely nothing unless they’re competing in a regional tournament in their spring sport,

and those are the kinds of athletes that we’d want to be competing at that time.

“Football is the one sport that gets the short end of the stick because all of the other sports you can do year-round in some form. We’re limited the most, yet it’s the biggest sport with fans and them being fanatical about it.”

•The OHSAA voted 6-3 to approve a proposal from the soccer coaches association to expand the girls soccer state tournament from two divisions to three beginning this fall. Girls soccer surpassed the 501-team benchmark during 2010.

Twenty-three teams from the Central District competed in Division II last fall, producing one district champion.

Although the OHSAA has not announced breakdowns by division, teams such as Worthington Christian (116 girls) and Wellington (77 girls) likely would be among those that would drop to Division III. Worthington Christian was seeded third for the district tournament and Wellington was seeded eighth last fall.

“That gives us a better chance once we get into the tournament,” Worthington Christian athletics director Kevin Weakley said of his team’s likely drop.

“The challenge in Division II is that there are a lot bigger schools than us in it like Bexley and Hartley. When we made the jump to Division III with the boys, it helped us significantly.”

Another effect of the increase in divisions is that schools such as DeSales and Watterson as well as some Columbus City Schools would drop from Division I to II. DeSales and Watterson have been perennial powers in boys soccer while competing in Division II, but neither school got past the district semifinal round while competing in Division I in girls soccer last fall.

Financial finesse

Home sales

Setting and keeping financial goals With the coming of the spring season comes the opportunity to start fresh in all areas of your life — including your finances.

As you consider this, it’s important to include financial resolutions on your list. Following are some tips to help you set financial goals and start off on the right foot: Set measurable goals and put them on paper. Instead of making a resolution to simply save more money, set an amount you’d like to save and chart your progress. Writing out your resolutions creates a contract with yourself that will increase your likelihood of success.

Have a plan. If you decide to save, break it up into more manageable pieces and write down your plan. Reaching $5,000 means saving roughly $420 per month.

Then figure out how you can trim about $100 a week from your expenses (bringing lunch from home, skipping the lattes, etc.). By breaking it up, the big number will seem reachable.

Make it automatic. If creating an e m e rg e n cy fund is your goal, consider having a portion of each JORDAN paycheck auMILLER III tomatically deposited into a savings account. Direct deposit makes it less likely you’ll be tempted to use the money for other purposes and both employers and banks make it easy to set up and direct funds into different checking, savings or other accounts. Saving just $25 a week through this disciplined approach will net you $3,900 in three years.

Use a system to track your money. Money management software can provide a complete picture of your personal finances; free demo versions of some of the popular money management programs are available online. Additionally, through online banking, many financial institutions

make it easy to download your account information to these programs.

Save your receipts. Keep all of your receipts and statements for the year in a folder. Having detailed records of expenditures can help you gain a better understanding of your spending patterns and could lead to greater tax deductions for those who itemize.

When you set your financial resolutions and develop your plan, include your entire family in the process. This is a great way to teach children how to manage money and develop good spending habits — a crucial life lesson and one that children should learn at an early age.

Teaching children about finances and personal responsibility will help them become successful, independent adults.

Life Saving Messages From The Energy Cooperative Providing Revolutionary Eye Care Since 1967

The Energy Cooperative is committed to providing safe and reliable energy to our member-owners with highly-responsive service consistent with Cooperative principles.

The Purpose and Reliability of Natural Gas and Propane Gas Pipelines: Purpose: To safely transport natural gas and propane gas. Reliability: Our natural gas and propane gas pipelines are installed only by qualified professionals and tested for leakage before they become operational.

Hazard Awareness and Prevention Measures: Awareness of Hazards: Damage to gas piping can cause a fire or explosion.

Prevention Measures Undertaken: Natural gas and propane gas companies are required by law to perform leakage tests on all jurisdictional main lines and service lines before activating them with natural gas or propane gas. Periodic leak surveys are also required as a method to locate and/or repair a leak before it becomes hazardous.

Pipeline Location Information: The natural gas transmission, gathering and distribution or propane pipelines we operate and maintain are mostly not visible to the public. The pipelines are buried below ground on our right-of-ways. The approximate locations of our pipelines are identified by pipeline markers that are placed within the right-of-way. In accordance with federal regulations our pipelines are patrolled on a regular basis, to inspect for any leakage corrosion problems, encroachment, etc.

Some segments along our pipelines have been designated as “high consequence areas.” We have developed supplemental assessments and prevention plans for these highly populated areas that are near our pipelines’ right-of-way.

Purpose of Pipeline Markers and What They Are Used For: Natural gas and propane gas pipelines are identified by markers placed at intervals along pipeline right-of-ways. The markers display the name of the owner of the pipeline and display a 24 hour emergency telephone number. The markers are generally placed whenever needed to indicate the presence of a pipeline, such as where a pipeline easement intersects a highway, railroad, creek or river crossing and in heavily congested areas. The markers are used to show the approximate location of the pipeline.

Availability of the National Pipeline Mapping System (N.P.M.S.): Our transmission pipelines are located within four Ohio counties – Licking, Muskingum, Noble and Perry. The pipelines are a safe and reliable source of moving natural gas within our system. The pipelines are not visible because they are buried within our right-of-ways.

The pipelines are patrolled and surveyed on a routine basis for leakage, corrosion and encroachment problems, etc. To view our transmission pipeline system go to www.npms.phmsa.dot.gov.

Leak Recognition and Response: Remember the three ways to recognize a natural gas or propane gas leak: • SMELL: To help you SMELL a leak from a gas line or appliance, a familiar odor like rotten eggs is often added to natural gas and propane gas.

• SEE: Near a gas leak, you might SEE blowing dirt, bubbling water or an unusual area of dead vegetation.

• HEAR: A leaking pipeline might make a hissing sound you can HEAR. • If you recognize even one of the above signs, walk away, right away.

• Don’t try to stop or repair the leak yourself or use anything that might create a spark, such as a cell phone.

• Avoid using potential ignition sources, such as telephones, doorbells, electric switches or motor vehicles.

• Contact The Energy Cooperative immediately at 1-800-255-6815 from a safe distance.

• Call 911. Never try to extinguish a gas fire or operate any pipeline valves.

• Include the emergency telephone number for The Energy Cooperative on your list of important phone numbers (e.g. fire, police, physicians, etc.)

Emergency Preparedness for Gas-Leaks in the Home: Be prepared. Practice safety drills for getting your family out of the house at night before an emergency occurs. Don’t turn lights on or off.

Remember: • Don’t light matches or cigarette lighters.

• Don’t use a flashlight during the drill because an electric arc might ignite the gas.

• Don’t use the telephone or cell phone because an arc might ignite the gas.

• Plan what you’re going to do and move slowly and carefully.

• Practice the drill in the daylight first.

Be Safe - Call Before You Dig: Before you break ground at any construction site or begin a project around your home, be sure you have taken the proper measures to achieve the highest level of safety possible. A simple phone call at least two days before starting the excavation work to the Ohio Utilities Protection Services (OUPS) will result in a representative locating buried facilities at your construction site or at your residence. This free service can help protect you from personal injury or property damage, and prevents interruption of your Energy Cooperative and other utility services.

• To contact the Ohio Utilities Protection Services, call 811, or 1-800-362-2764, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

• In case of Emergency call The Energy Cooperative at 1-800-255-6815.
