Laura Franks Dividend Note No. 22, March 28, 2010 for Bexley Public Radio.

This is a report on fifty-seven companies that have increased dividends during March. It is an occasional note by Laura Franks.

This informal collection marks dividend increases for mostly U.S. stocks. This report includes some equities based outside the United States that do business in the United States.

Laura’s commentary and analysis is sometimes offered in this informal journal. The ones that Laura notes as interesting are America Service Group, Inmarsat and Stanley Gibbons.

America Service Group through a subsidiary contracts with correctional facilities and provides healthcare services to inmates. In the context of the new federal healthcare law, Laura is curious how prisoners are treated and who will pay for the prisoner healthcare needs.

Inmarsat operates a communications satellite. The company is a reminder that not all satellites are owned by governments.

Stanley Gibbons is a dealer in postage stamps and other items. Its increased dividend is a reminder that, beyond the financial markets for stocks and bonds, there are other markets where prices are determined for many things.

Artesian Resources Corporation (Nasdaq: ARTNA) announced that it is increasing its dividend by about five percent and that revenues for 2009 were $60.9 million, up 8.4% from $56.2 million in 2008. Net income was $7.3 million, compared to $6.4 million last year. Diluted net income per common share for 2009 rose 12.8% to $0.97 from $0.86 in 2008.

"We have a clear vision of what we believe is necessary to ensure superior service for our customers while also achieving a fair return for our shareholders," said Dian C. Taylor, Chair, President & CEO. "We faced many challenges in 2009—the recession limited new housing development and there was record rain fall, both of which lowered customer demand for water. However, we delivered positive financial results by carefully managing our expenses and generating additional revenue from our non-utility businesses."

Artesian paid out dividends every quarter in 2009, as it has for the last 17 years. The dividend was increased in the fourth quarter of 2009 by approximately 5%, raising the current annualized dividend rate to $0.7492. In addition, Artesian won national and local awards for customer service innovations and the quality of its water and was named in 2009 as one of the FORTUNE Small Business top 100 companies. Artesian was included in the broad-market Russell 3000® Index and the small-market Russell 2000® Index during the year.

Artesian's revenue increase in 2009 was partially due to a 17% increase in non-utility revenue, which climbed to $4.8 million from $4.1 million in 2008. Revenues from water sales also increased as a result of the full-year implementation of a 15% rate increase, which was made permanent in 2009 with the settlement of the Company's rate case in Delaware. Revenue also increased as a result of the addition of more than 1,000 water customers and 100 wastewater customers. However, water revenues increases were partially offset by the record rainfall of 2009, which lowered per customer demand.

Artesian Resources Corporation operates as the holding company of eight wholly-owned subsidiaries offering water, wastewater and engineering services. Artesian Water Company, the principal subsidiary, is the oldest and largest investor-owned public water utility on the Delmarva Peninsula, and has been providing water service since 1905.

Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS) Cincinnati, OH March 18, 2010 reported results for the third quarter of its fiscal year 2010, which ended on February 28, 2010. Revenues for the third quarter were $861.8 million and earnings per share were $0.32.

The third quarter of fiscal year 2010 had one fewer workday than both last year's fiscal third quarter and the second quarter of this fiscal year. When adjusting for the one fewer workday in this year's third quarter, revenues were 3.7% less than last year's third quarter, an improvement from the 10.2% decline experienced in our second quarter ending November 30, 2009, versus the prior year's second quarter. Revenues were comparable to the first two quarters of this fiscal year when adjusting for workday differences.

Scott D. Farmer, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are encouraged that job losses appear to be moderating from what we saw in calendar year 2009. However, we believe job recovery will continue to be sluggish and thus our revenues will be slow to return to prior levels. Despite the weather difficulties and holiday shut downs during our third quarter, our revenues and margins met our internal plan."

Mr. Farmer continued, "Our expectations for our fourth quarter remain unchanged from our previously released guidance. We expect revenues to be between $870 and $890 million and earnings per share to be between $0.30 and $0.34. Our businesses continue to be profitable, generating positive cash flow. During the third quarter, we increased cash and marketable securities by over $70 million. With total cash and marketable securities of over $550 million at February 28, 2010, our balance sheet is very strong. Last week, we paid our annual dividend to our shareholders amounting to $0.48 per share, an increase from $0.47 paid last year. We have increased our dividend every year since going public in 1983."

Scott Farmer concluded, "We remain confident about the future because of our strong market share position and balance sheet, and most importantly, due to the quality and ability of our employee-partners who have continued their commitment to taking care of our customers and focusing on managing costs."

which will be paid on March 15, 2010 to all shareholders of record on March 8, 2010.

"Our fourth quarter results benefited from higher rates earned by our vessels on fixed-rate charters which enabled us to declare an attractive dividend of $0.26 per share despite weak spot tanker rates during most of the quarter," commented Bjorn Moller, Teekay Tankers' Chief Executive Officer. "The spot tanker market strengthened near the end of the fourth quarter and into January due to a combination of improving economic fundamentals worldwide, seasonal factors, and the continued use of tankers for floating storage, all of which contributed to tighter supply and demand fundamentals."

Mr. Moller continued, "We have positioned Teekay Tankers' fleet in anticipation of further spot tanker market volatility in 2010. Currently, we have locked-in approximately 55 percent of our 2010 vessel operating days at fixed rates averaging over $26,500 per day leaving the rest of our vessel days to benefit from any upside in the spot market. Combined with our low quarterly debt service costs, this approach provides a floor under our cash flows, enabling us to pay a dividend under any market scenario while at the same time providing shareholders with potential upside in tanker rates. In 2010, our fixed-rate revenues alone are expected to cover all of our costs and required debt repayments for the year, which means all of our spot revenues can be paid out as dividends."

Estimated First Quarter 2010 Dividend

The table below presents the estimated cash dividend per share for the quarter ending March 31, 2010 at various average time-charter equivalent (TCE) rates earned by the Company's spot tanker fleet and reflects the contribution from its existing fixed-rate time-charter contracts and the effect of scheduled vessel drydockings.

Chief Rinehart and "Ride Bexley Ride."

Bexley Police Chief Larry Rinehart announced the third annual "Ride, Bexley, Ride" scheduled for Saturday May 22, 2010.

"Ride Bexley Ride" is the police chief's family bicycle ride and walk against domestic violence. The event starts at 9 am at the magnificent Jeffrey Mansion in Bexley with stops at the Governor's Mansion and OSU President Gordon Gee's home.

The entry fee is $25 per individual and $50 per family with all proceeds going directly to CHOICES.

Sponsors are also needed for the ride. For more information and to sign up or make a donation please go to WWW.CHOICESColumbus.org.

Chief Rinehart said "I am an active advocate against domestic violence and have been since May 12, 2001. In that time I have had the opportunity to speak to more groups of people than I can remember; large and small groups, adults and students, and all types of civic, social, and church groups.

"I have given my presentations to literally thousands of people all over this state. In the course of talking with people before and after my presentations I have come to realize several things that you will not find in the national and local statistics about domestic violence. First, I truly believe that at least 50% of every women in our society will be the victim of physical or emotional violence by the time she is an adult. Either in high school, college, or some dating relationship, at least one half of all women become victims of some form of violence, almost always at the hand of a man.

"Most women recover, get away, get on with their lives and often times forget about it.

"Many do not survive or ever forget it.

"The second thing I have learned is that most men believe it is a women's problem, especially men who have never lived in a violent home, have never experienced relationship violence, and have never been violent to their partner.

"Men simply see it as a women's issue and they could not be more wrong. The vast majority of the time when there is violence in a relationship it is the man who is dishing it out. That is an undisputed fact.

"Men are not only responsible for their own behavior, but men need to accept the responsibility of mentoring the young men in their lives. Us men need to mentor and teach our sons, grandsons, nephews and any other young man who looks up to us that violence against women is not acceptable.

"We need to teach the young men in our lives how to properly deal with emotion and relationships. Until we men step up and have the hard talks with our young men, the plague of domestic violence in our society will continue as it has for far too many generations.

"For the man who replies to this with, "hey, I don't have violence in my house and I have never been violent in my relationships with others," I say, that is not enough. We must mentor our young men. We owe it to our daughters, granddaughters, nieces, sisters, and to all the women in our lives.

"I am honored to serve as a board member for CHOICES eliminating domestic violence. CHOICES has been a powerhouse nonprofit in the fight against domestic violence for over 30 years, running the battered victims shelter and hotline here in central Ohio as well as conducting a host of other advocacy efforts.

"But these are tough times for most nonprofits and CHOICES needs your help. Please join me in my advocacy against domestic and relationship violence by signing up to ride in the third annual "Ride, Bexley, Ride" Police Chief's family bicycle ride and walk against domestic violence on May 22. The event starts at 9 am at the magnificent Jeffrey Mansion in Bexley with stops at the Governor's Mansion and OSU President Gordon Gee's home. The entry fee is $25 per individual and $50 per family with all proceeds going directly to CHOICES. We also need sponsors for the ride. For more information and to sign up or make a donation please go to WWW.CHOICESColumbus.org

"Come join us in our stand against domestic violence and take a ride or walk through beautiful Bexley. Don't forget your helmet."

Sociedad de prensa condena acciones de Chávez

(Journalist Organization condemns Chávez’s actions)

La Sociedad Interamericana de la Prensa (SIC) ha condenado las acciones del presidente venezolano, Hugo Chávez, para controlar y hasta eliminar la prensa libre en su país. Según la SIC el mandatario de Venezuela ha severamente limitado la libertad de expresión mediante la imposición de leyes y reglamentos que violan la constitución, incluyendo el cierre de emisoras y el sabotaje de la industria periodística nacional. De ahí que la SIC piensa denunciar el gobierno de Chávez ante la ONU y la OEA por sus acciones. Entre otras medidas, ha solicitado una visita de la Sociedad Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (SIDH), entidad a la cual se le ha negado la entrada al país desde el año 2002. La resolución en contra del gobierno de Chávez por parte de la SIC se tomó durante la reunión de medio año de la organización en la capital de Aruba.

Cortocircuito cierra aeropuerto de Santo Domingo

(Short Circuit closes Santo Domingo airport)

Un cortocircuito ha dejado el aeropuerto de Santo Domingo, la capital dominicana, sin energía por más de 24 horas. Así que el aeropuerto ha debido reducir operaciones además de utilizar plantas externas. Entre los retrasos figuran vuelos de American Airlines a la costa este de EEUU y a Puerto Rico así como otros vuelos de las aerolíneas Iberia, Cóndor, y Copa. Pese a la falla eléctrica, la iluminación de la pista de aterrizaje y el funcionamiento del radar no se vieron afectados. Poco después del corte eléctrico tuvieron que trasladar servicios a la terminal norte, zona no afectada por el corte, de forma temporaria antes de instalar generadores alquilados por el aeropuerto en la terminal sur. Según las autoridades el cortocircuito se debía a la humedad de un cable o quizá otra avería hasta ahora no identificada.

Congresista colombiano condenado por aliarse con paramilitares

(Colombian congressman convicted for ties with paramilitary group)

En Colombia, la Corte Suprema de Justicia ha condenado al ex-senador Álvaro Araujo Castro a nueve años de prisión por tener contactos con paramilitares. La corte le condenó por el delito de concierto para delinquir agravado además de promover lo que se considera un grupo ilegal bajo la ley. La sentencia se fundamenta en cargos elevados por El Fiscal General de Colombia por haberse cooperado con el bloque norte del grupo paramilitar: las autodefensas campesinas de Córdoba y Urabá (ACCU) durante el período de 2002-2006. Es más, el cabo de los militares, Rodrigo Tovar Pupo, alias Jorge 40, se ha implicado en casos de fraude durante las elecciones parlamentarias de 2002 en que uno de los candidatos fue el mismísimo senador Araujo Castro. De hecho, han condenado a otros 11 congresistas elegidos en 2006 por haberse concertado con grupos paramilitares.
