IN MEMORY OF
GORDON K. RUCKER
3/2/05 - 12/8/99
A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried,
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
If all the world was ours to give,
We would give it, yes, and more.
To see you coming up the steps
And walking through the door.
To hear your voice
To see your smile,
To sit and talk with you a while.
To be with you the same old way,
Would be our fondest wish today,
A heart of gold stopped beating,
Two smiling eyes closed to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST.
You're loved and missed daily,
Gary, Margie, Sis Lisa and family
Tammy and family Terry and family
Mary and family Larry and family

Stay calm in a volatile market
SCHOOL LUNCH
MENU
There are two things we can be
fairly sure of in the investment world.
The first is that prices will sometimes
go up. The second is that prices will
sometimes go down. When the ups
and downs become too volatile, many
investors may be tempted to make
snap decisions based on short-term
events. But the secret to successful
investing during jittery markets is to
stay calm. "
Of course, that's easier said than
done. However, you can do it. Here
are a few suggestions that may make
it easier:
Concentrate on long-term objec-
tives - It's important to develop an
investment strategy, stick with it over
time and keep your long-term objec-
tives in sight. You may want to adjust
your portfolio to reflect changing cir-
cumstances, but don't abandon proven
principles of investment success, such
as diversification and striking the
proper balance between risk and re-
ward.
Look for opportunities - During
choppy markets, many people turn to
"defensive" industries, such as con-
sumer staples and drugs. These sec-
tors are rarely out of favor for ex-
tended periods of time, for the simple
reason that people will always need
these products and services. Other
sectors, while struggling along with a
down market, may still be poised to
do well during the next upturn.
Accept normal market adjustments
- Sometimes when the market ap-
pears to be going through convul-
sions, it's actually "shaking out" ex-
cesses of one kind or another in a
move toward equilibrium. Such may
have been the case this past spring,
when overpriced technology stocks
fell sharply, causing a drag on the
market. While these shakeouts can
seem unsettling at the time, they're
often healthy for the market in the
long run.
Put your idle money to work - It's
probably not a good idea to ever get
totally out of the market, no matter
how turbulent things may get. By
being on the sidelines, even fot a
short time, you're likely to miss out
on opportunities for growth, espe-
cially given the speed with which
markets can turn around. But if you
do have money that's not invested in
the market, at least make sure it's
working for you - in a money market
account, for example. Your money
will earn a decent rate of return and,
more importantly, will be available to
invest when you're ready.
Shelter money in qualified retire-
ment accounts - Put as much as you
can afford into tax-qualified retire-
ment plans, such as an IRA or a 401 (k).
The money you invest in these plans
is certainly not immune to market
fluctuations, but it will grow on a tax-
deferred basis - which means it will
grow much faster than if it were placed
in an investment on which you paid
taxes each year. (And, if you have a
Roth IRA, your money will grow tax-
free, provided you meet certain con-
ditions.)
By following these suggestions, you
should be able to keep your compo-
sure, no matter what the market throws
your way. And when it comes to
investing, the less emotion that's in-
volved, the better.
