SPRING CLEANING

As we spring forward with the time change we start the think about the flowers

blooming, the birds serenading, how our house still feels like it's stuck with the

winter blues. Even the most well organized business owner gets bogged down

during the winter season. Spring is the perfect time to get the shop or office

back into shape and looking its best. Here is a list of some ideas to get started.

Create a checklist. Jot down every item that needs attention, such as the

dusty vent near the ceiling to the table with the wobbly leg that needs repair.

It helps to remember all those little things that tend to get overlooked. This

can become a checklist for spring cleaning tasks for employees.

Update displays and bulletin boards. It doesn’t matter what rave reviews

they received in November, you need to update

them for spring, and you need to give them a fresh

look as customers tend to overlook something they

have seen over and over.

Clean your website. Update stale with news like

old PDF newsletters from last summer. Remove old

content, check phone numbers and addresses. Make sure your website

meets your strengths and marketing needs. Remember a website is a com-

pany’s shop window after all.

Spruce up software. When was the last time you deleted an email from

your inbox? Delete those 10,000 emails sitting in your inbox or junk email. A

reliable back-up system for your network or computer is a must, a bad back-

up system could potentially cripple your business.

Go Green. Purchase a good scanner that is energy efficient and scan all

your documents. Then get rid of the paper that piles up. Think about a

wireless system in your office to workers can control how their office space is

customized.

There are some cultures with many traditions that view spring cleaning as self-

renewal. In the Persian culture, for instance, a ritual called “khaneh takani” or

“shaking the house” precedes the New Year, which falls on

the first day of the spring. Families traditionally banish dust

from every corner and crevice and polish belongings in prepa-

ration for returning spirits.

Spring cleaning is a time to do away with the clutter in our

homes, offices and our minds and to start the year with a

fresh outlook for future.

FINANCIAL FOCUS

When Evaluating Investments, Look at Value — Not Just Price

Article 12— Feb. 15, 2010

Most investors pay a great deal of attention to the price of their investments — yesterday’s price, today’s price, tomorrow’s price,

next year’s price and so on. And that’s understandable, because we always want the prices of our investments to rise. Yet, if you focus too

much on prices, you could end up making some costly mistakes.

Why? Because price-driven behavior is emotional behavior — and as an investor, you’re much better off making decisions with

your head, not your heart. Suppose, for example, that you’ve seen a steep decline in the price of one of your investments. After a while, you

may feel that you just can’t take it anymore and you decide to “cut your losses” by selling the investment. Conversely, you may have an

investment that has gone up and up — and to grab even bigger gains, you buy more shares.

Both these decisions could backfire on you. When you sold the investment whose price had fallen, you might find yourself on the

investment “sidelines” if that same investment starts to turn around. And when you throw more money at an investment whose price has

skyrocketed, you’re betting against history — because no investment goes up forever. Furthermore, in both cases, your emotions will have

led you to violate one of the guidelines of investing: buy low and sell high.

But apart from the tactical errors you may make when you over-concentrate on price movements, you’re also ignoring another key

characteristic of investments — their value.

Traditionally, an investment’s “value” has been largely defined as whether or not it’s considered “expensive” or “cheap.” That’s

why many investors take a close look at a stock’s price-to-earnings ratio (P/E). Generally speaking, a high P/E means a stock is more expen-

sive, relative to its earnings, than a stock with a low P/E. Investors may be willing to pay more for the high P/E stocks because they feel these

companies will be worth more in the future.

But P/E doesn’t tell the whole story of investment value. Any individual investment may have value to you because it can help you

diversify your holdings. And while diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee a profit or protect against a loss, it can help you reduce the ef-

fects of volatility on your portfolio. For instance, if your portfolio is heavy with stocks, the presence of some bonds — even those whose

market price has fallen because interest rates have risen — can help reduce the impact of a downturn that primarily affects stocks.

Clearly, the value of any investment has several dimensions — any or all of which may be valuable to you as your pursue your

goals. So, as you build, maintain and adjust your portfolio over time, keep an eye on the changing prices of your investments — but don’t

overlook their true value.

Property Secured for Hospital’s

Possible Future Use

Land option puts 38 acres in St. Joseph’s future; no specific plans made

Showing its support for the future of health care services here, Catholic Health Initiatives, the health system that in-cludes St. Joseph’s Hospital and Health Center, has pur-chased an option on 38 acres near the West River Commu-nity Center.

Officials at Catholic Health Initiatives say the property may be the future site for a new hospital, though no plans have been made.

―Catholic Health Initiatives supports St. Joseph’s and its long-term ministry in the Dickinson community,‖ said Jeffery Drop, Catholic Health Initiatives senior vice presi-dent and division executive officer for North Dakota and Minnesota. ―While we do not yet have specific plans for the property, the acquisition fits the health system’s strategic growth plans for the next decade.‖

St. Joseph’s Hospital Board Chair Mike Lefor said, ―Our lo-cal board drove the strategy to purchase the land. The board, hospital administration and Catholic Health Initiatives are working as a team to continue to provide a positive direction for St. Joseph’s, one that serves the best interests of this community.‖

The land acquisition is positive news for St. Joseph’s future according to Reed Reyman, President and CEO of St. Jo-seph’s Hospital and Health Center.

―Our partnership with Catholic Health Initiatives ensures that every person receives quality care right here in Dickin-son,‖ Reyman said. ―Leaders in Stark County and the city of Dickinson have also been instrumental in promoting this effort.‖

Mayor Dennis Johnson said, ―Catholic Health Initiatives continues to demonstrate its on-going support for quality health care to the citizens of Dickinson and the surrounding communities. This is a great day for all involved.‖
