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 Economic Recovery Act is now signed into law – and apparently most Americans will start seeing some benefit 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 television broadcast, I can’t believe that I – Mr. Technology Guy – missed writing about that in the February 11th Mark’s Musings. Wow. I even disappointed 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, finding 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 being to receive weather broadcasts, vital emergency alerts, and being able to watch Sean Penn accept his Oscar in high definition. Okay, kidding on that one. If you still have a pair of rabbit ears or a regular antenna, you need to get a digital converter box. If you already subscribe 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 television very soon. For more information about this topic and how you can check reception at your home, you can visit the website www. dtv.gov/fixreception.html. You can also visit the Federal Communications Commission website at www.fcc.gov for more information and get a complete list of all full power stations that are making the transition on or before February 17th. Now, back to all things local. Are you ready for the auction? The Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce annual auction (the largest fund-raiser for the Chamber of Commerce) is getting ready to go – you can read the press release for more details in this issue of The Beacon – 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 donated 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 complimented – all the campaign chairs, volunteers and donors for helping this past year’s campaign come very close to the goal. Despite the economic hardships and challenges 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 nation 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 Coshocton County Commissioner Dane Shryock, enjoyed a few games of bowling to help support the annual Big Brothers / Big Sisters of Coshocton 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 Christine “Strike” Roberts said, “Its fun – and we’re helping out the community”. Sheila Mayse, executive director of Big Brothers / Big Sisters explained, “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

The United Way of Coshocton County held their annual meeting at the Coshocton Village Inn & Suites on Thursday, 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 agencies that serve youth and adults alike, came up short of the total goal but Executive Director Amy Hasseman 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 contribution 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 community citizen and I’m very proud of them.” With over half a million dollars contributed to the United Way of Coshocton County over the past nine years, SmurfitStone 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 banner – 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 Hospital, who will be celebrating their 100th anniversary later this year, as the 2009-2010 corporate sponsor. Coshocton Hospital Administrator and CEO Mr. Greg Nowak stated that, “We’re very honored 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 anniversary.

The Malone University Choir gave their first performance 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 direction 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!” Karen Chanay, a 1982 graduate 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”.

Guest Column from Rep. Troy Balderson The start of the 128th General Assembly marks the beginning of the budget drafting process, which occurs every two years here at the state capitol. This process is a collaborative 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 budget proposal to the Ohio House, where the bill is then handed over to the
Working to Pass a Balanced Budget House Finance and Appropriation Committee. Budget bills are traditionally introduced in the House under the sponsorship of the chair of the House Finance Committee. While in committee the bill will undergo extensive scrutiny and revision, as members hear witness testimonies from interested members of the public, state agencies 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 constituents in my district, as well as citizens across Ohio, are struggling with the nation’s difficult economy. I can assure you that my colleagues and I are determined 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 constituents faithfully as the budget moves through the Legislature, as well as during all legislative proceedings in the coming years. I am eager to help make Ohio economically competitive 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 regarding the budget or any other state related matter. You can reach my office by calling (614) 644-6014 or by mail at State Representative Troy Balderson, at 77 S. High Street, 11th Floor, Columbus, OH 43215. You may also email me at District94@ ohr.state.oh.us.

Career Center Holds Open House
Port Authority Approves Loan for Party Package Too
Team captain Georgia Summit said, “the reason for their team’s name Family Matters, is because 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!”

Often called “The winter version of the Coshocton County 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 spaghetti dinner with all the trimmings. With several demonstrations and the opportunity to see students in action, Ginger Reiss, Public Information Coordinator for the Career Center, stated that the evening serves two purposes. Said Reiss, “This event is close to our sophomore visitation and it provides the opportunity for prospective students to bring their parents, and talk to instructors about the training,
jobs and potential earnings in a particular field of technical study. It is also a goodwill building event for the community – we can’t do what we do without a tight partnership in the community. Area businesses 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 enjoy 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 interest 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 rebuilt 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 automotive industry I’d highly recommend it”.

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 authority's revolving loan fund committee 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 business in Coshocton," said Executive Director T.J. Justice. Party Package Too is a onestop shop for all family or business celebrations with a line of products also being made available for classroom purposes requested by local teachers. The port authority's loan allows for the entrepreneur to remain employed 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 Village, and another was provided to EVO Manufacturing which is consolidating operations from Conesville and Pataskala to Coshocton. Most loans are provided at 2/3 prime interest. Sources of the loan funds are from the Coshocton Foundation, Schooler Family Foundation, Montgomery Foundation, Coshocton Rotary Cub and the USDA. To inquire about the revolving loan, contact the port authority at (740)622-7005 or visit www.coshoctonportauthority.com.

The IRS has received a number of recurring questions involving 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 errors 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 concerning 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 entitled. The IRS will not be issuing separate recovery rebate credit payments. Refund amounts. The IRS reminds taxpayers they should not use their regular refund from last year in calculating the recovery rebate credit. Some taxpayers may be confusing their regular tax refunds with the economic stimulus payment they received when completing their 2008 tax return. Direct Deposit Requests. Taxpayers who request a direct deposit will receive the refund in the form of a direct deposit even if errors are detected.

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 common 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 received their full benefit in the form of the Economic Stimulus Payment. However, a taxpayer may qualify for the Recovery Rebate Credit, if,
for example, he or she did not get an Economic Stimulus Payment, had a child in 2008 or had a change in income level. If you receive this credit, it will be included in your refund and will not be issued as a separate payment. See the Form 1040 Instructions, Fact Sheet 2009-3 or the information center on IRS.gov for details. • Standard Deduction for Real Estate Taxes: Taxpayers can claim an additional standard deduction, based on the state or local real estate taxes paid in 2008. The maximum deduction is $500, or $1,000 for joint filers. • Mortgage Workouts and Foreclosures: For most homeowners, these are now taxfree. 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 married 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.

Seven Principles of Investing in a Volatile Market
1. Clarify your investment strategy Living with market volatility is a lot easier when you have a firm investment strategy in place. To create your strategy, you'll need to understand several key factors, including:
Your time horizon is determined by counting the number of years left until you need your money. And your tolerance for risk reflects 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.
3. Diversify, diversify, diversify One way to help protect yourself from market downturns is to own various types of investments. First, consider spreading your investments across the three asset classes -stocks, bonds, and shortterm 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 longterm To help calm the jitters caused by short-term fluctuations, 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 portfolio. 5. Don’t try to time the market No one can consistently predict the market, not even the experts. Staying fully invested can give investors an opportunity to fully participate in the market’s longterm upward trend. Many of the best periods to invest in stocks have been those environments that were among the most unnerving, 0018_022509
2. Match investments to your comfort level Don'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 marketplace. Even if your time horizon is long enough to warrant an aggressive-
growth portfolio, you need to make sure you're comfortable with the short-term ups and downs you'll encounter. 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.

and attempting to move in and out of the market can also be costly. A significant portion of the market’s gains over time have tended 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 performance 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 period. 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 invested.1 6. Do well “on average” By investing regularly over months, years, and decades, you can actually benefit from a volatile market.
from fidelity.com
Through a time-proven investment technique called dollar cost averaging, you simply put a set amount in each of your plan investments every pay period, regardless of how the market’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 approach To 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 offer management assistance by providing investments that represent various asset 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 conservative as the fund approaches its target date and beyond. The diversification and asset allocation of lifecycle funds can help reduce volatility and risk, although they can’t ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss.

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.

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 perform in the RVJH auditorium. “It’s about everyday school life,” Anglin divulges. “It’s reminiscent of High School Musical – kids finding out who they are and realizing their identities.” Packed with dancing, dialogue, and of course singing, the musical was written just last year by Roger Emerson. Anglin met the writer-composer during show choir camp at Heidelberg University, where Emerson was a guest clinician. Once

Anglin had considered a junior high play/musical for several years, but scheduling 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 immediately. “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, Garrett Gee, Austin Bible, Zach Pessia, and Courtney Ankrum. 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 Sampsel, an 8th grader at RVJH, designed flyers for the production and even took care of making calls to Sprint Print to have them printed. Anglin is hopeful they will have another production next year, but they need to raise funds in order to prepare the sets. “We basically 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 delivering a terrific performance; and she upholds it has taken more than rehearsals to ensure a successful evening. Randy Thomas of the custodial staff and Scott Limburg, River View’s transportation and food service director, were especially instrumental in creating and securing props for the show. “We are really grateful to them,” Anglin expresses. Everyone involved is hoping to see a full house on performance night. Mrs. Sharon Tatro, junior high principal, knows how important it is for the kids to have community support. “The students always appreciate the gratitude they see from the audience.” Tatro herself always looks forward to the choir’s performances. “I can’t wait

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 Livestock team of Joel Hamric and Evan Ehman earned a 122nd place finish. Career Development Events are also held during the winter season. The Food Science & Technology team earned a banner recognizing their accomplishment of placing fourth at the state level. Suzie McMullen placed fourth in the individual rankings to lead the team, which was completed by members Molly Daniel, Charity McMullen, and Jordon Mullett. River View FFA’s Agricultural Sales team placed tenth with members Charity McMullen, Brittany Rich, Suzie McMullen, and Duane Stutzman. All members are encouraged to participate in Career 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?”
Several of the Ridgewood FFA Chapter officers attended the fall COLT conference (chapter officer leadership training) held in Columbus. 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 Olympics to allow new and existing members to get to know each other. Here, members Suzie McMullen, Anisha Seitz, Zane Lambert, Danielle Wells, Mandy Rice, and Michael Hedrick complete the 2 x 4 skiing competition.

National FFA Week
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 reallife scenarios in competitive situations called Career Development Events. Through CDE’s, students are able to exercise their learning and have the opportunity to earn monetary awards, gain recognition for their accomplishments, and travel for higher level competitions. During the year, River View FFA members participate in many CDE’s. In 2008, members participated in three events at the State FFA Convention. Jesse Wright, Suzie McMullen, Tyler Hess, and Joshua Rice competed in the Agricultural Engineering event, and placed 24th. The Cooperative Education team consisted of Carly Babcock, Duane Stutzman, Seth Cunningham, Brittany Rich, and Drew Courtright, and placed 33rd as a team. The team of Morgan Landis, Emily Stout, Jordon Mullett, Charity McMullen, and Casey Wilson competed in the Greenhand Quiz contest 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 placing fourth at the state level. The team was led by

The first session they attended consisted of the recognition of the recipients of the Agri-Entrepreneurship 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 presentations for Creed Speaking, Public Speaking, and Extemporaneous Speaking contests. Also, they saw the Agriscience student and teacher

Finally, at their third session they watched the American Degree Ceremony where they watched graduate members of their own chapter receive their American Degree. These members were Ben Young, Katie Croft, and Derek Weatherwax.

FFA Provides Leadership Opportunities
Former student Jesse Wright orchestrated the construction of a human-driven engine that members of the chapter "drove" through the Warsaw Memorial Day parade.
Premier leadership – the ultimate ability to lead in situations in which a person finds himself or herself. Membership in the FFA provides students with many opportunities to develop their capacity for premier leadership. Students have the chance to participate in conferences ranging from one evening to multiple days.
Conferences available to the students are COLT conference, Made for Excellence, and Washington Leadership Conference. In 2008-2009, ten students participated in these leadership development opportunities. During these opportunities, students heard from motivational speakers, interacted with members
from other chapters, and attended workshops on goal-setting and motivating others. Through their participation in these conferences, members are able to develop their potential as well as learning how to best help other members to best develop their potential.

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 million pound 25 years ago”. Domer went on to say that this “is a wide open market. If your neighbor is successful then you’re successful. 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 opportunity 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. 0012_022509
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.
The River View Agricultural Department, along with members of the Walhonding Valley Farmers, held the 43rd annual Corn Club Banquet at River View High School on Tuesday, February 10th. The club, chartered at Warsaw in 1957, was the first corn club chartered in Coshocton County. Charter Members were Ed Jones, Jerry Veigel, Norman Cullison, Lewis Allen, Ronnie Rodehaver, John Fox and instructor Mr. D. D. Kennedy. Following a delicious 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.

Supervised Agricultural Experiences Summer jobs, after-school jobs, market animals, breeding livestock, and running your own business. All examples of Supervised Agricultural Experiences that FFA members can operate. Students are able to make money, learn record-keeping skills, and invest their earnings in either their entrepreneurship SAE or in other assets. Through participation in the River View FFA, students have the op-
portunity to be members of two different cooperatives 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 community. Another cooperative opportunity for students
is the hog co-op. Through this co-op, students raise and produce market barrows and gilts that are exhibited at the county fair. Students who are successful in their respective SAE areas are able to gain recognition for their accomplishments through proficiency awards. In 2008, two graduate members of the River View FFA gained high honors at the state level for their achievements in their SAE’s. Ka-
