Bexley, Ohio. Sotheby's auction to benefit International Crane Foundation covered by WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM, Local Power Radio

In its weekly auction market report, WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM Local Power Radio gave attention to the charity auction sale of The Brooks McCormick Collection of Ornithology. WCRX-LP is the radio service of Bexley Public Radio Foundation.

The auction sale will be conducted on Friday afternoon October 5, 2007 at Sotheby’s auction rooms at 1334 York Avenue and 72nd Street, New York City. Bidding at this charity event will begin at 2:00 p.m.

The WCRX-LP coverage of the sale included descriptions from the Sotheby’s sale catalogue. Items to be sold on October 5 are books and prints that are important parts of the history of ornithology. Core items of John James Audubon, Mark Catesby, François Levaillant, F. N. Martinet, Charles Darwin and others will be presented for sale.

The late Chicago businessman and philanthropist, Brooks McCormick assembled the collection. McCormick was a strongly committed conservationist.

The proceeds from the Sotheby’s sale will benefit the International Crane Foundation. During his life, McCormick was a supporter of the International Crane Foundation.

Highlights from the collection will be on view at Sotheby’s Chicago auction rooms at 188 East Walton Place on September 20 and 21, 2007.

The collection will also be on show to the public in New York from September 29 to October 4, 2007. The New York show is at Sotheby’s location at 1334 York Avenue and 72nd Street on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

Ninety nine lots will be offered at the October 5 sale.

The lots included Mark Catesby's “Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands,” London, 1731-1743. The pre-sale estimate for Cateby’s work is $400, 000 to $600,000.

Brooks McCormick (1917-2006) was the grand-nephew of Cyrus McCormick (1809–1884), the inventor of the first commercially successful reaper and founder of the International Harvester Company. Brooks was the last member of the McCormick family to be active in International Harvester.

In 1972, Brooks McCormick founded The Conservation Foundation, which has preserved more than a thousand acres in the counties surrounding Chicago.

McCormick also arranged that after his death, his 620-acre St. James Farm near Warrenville would be sold to the Forest Preserve, ensuring that it would remain open space.

In the 1980s, McCormick, who with his late wife Hope Baldwin McCormick had long supported the Art Institute of Chicago and many other Chicago cultural institutions, began to collect books and prints about the history of ornithology.

During this period, McCormick began to support the International Crane Foundation, which was founded in 1973 by George Archibald and Ron Sauey in Baraboo, Wisconsin.

Beside the Marc Catesby's “Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands,” other important works offered at the charity auction are nearly ninety hand-colored aquatints from John James Audubon’s monumental double-elephant folio “The Birds of America” (1827–38). Such recognizable classics as Hooping Crane (Plate CCLXI) and Purple Heron (Plate CCLVI) will be offered at the Sotheby’s sale on October 5.

A set of François Levaillant’s studies of exotic birds, “Histoire naturelle des oiseaux de paradis et des rolliers” (1801–06) and “Histoire naturelle des Promerops et des Guepiers” (1807) will be sold to benefit the International Crane Foundation. Pre-sale estimates for these as a single lot are $150,000 to $250,000. Another French work being offered for auction sale the auction is Comte de Buffon’s encyclopedic “Histoire naturelle des oiseaux” (1770–86). This book includes 973 fine hand-colored etched plates by F. N. Martinet.

Another notable item for sale from the McCormick collection is a copy of the first edition of Charles Darwin’s “On the Origin of Specie” (1859). The price estimate for this work is $60,000 to $80,000. The author makes frequent references to birds in support of his thesis about evolution.

The International Crane Foundation has worldwide activities to conserve cranes and the wetland and grassland ecosystems on which they depend. The foundation has programs in endangered species management, wetland ecology and habitat restoration. It is also active in creating areas of international cooperation for protecting cranes and their habitats.

Bexley, Ohio. JCC schedule of events.

Kriss Galloway, director of communications for the Jewish Community Center was the morning guest with John Manning on WCRX-LP. Kriss began by answering a question that was discussed the previous week, namely “What is ‘bingo’ in Yiddish?” Kriss said she contacted a Yiddish expert and that the answer is “BINGO.”

Listeners who are interested in speaking Yiddish with others who grew up speaking it, are invited to a meeting of the Yiddish Club. The next meeting is Wednesday, September 19 at 1:30 p.m. at Creekside. Ann Rubin is the Yiddish Club contact at 231-5838.

Kriss also reported on the Pooch Pond held at JCC last Sunday. Twenty dogs and their owners participated. The event marked the closing of the outdoor pool for the season. The JCC indoor pool remains open and is available for individual exercise, aquatics fitness classes, swim lessons

Final preparations are being made for the premiere of the JCC Juried Member Art Exhibit. A juror for the show has been selected by the committee from outside the JCC membership.

JCC members may submit up to two pieces of art to be considered for the exhibit. Artwork may be dropped off at the JCC front desk on Tuesday, September 18 and Wednesday, September 19, from 4 to 8 p.m.

All types of artistic media are welcome, and must be ready for display. The artwork selected will be placed on exhibit in the JCC lobby from Sunday, October 7 through Sunday, November 4. Tim Kauffman, JCC assistant executive director is the contact for more information at 559-6223.

Kriss also noted that Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown Wednesday, September 12. The JCC will close at 5 p.m. Wednesday and remain closed for the Jewish New Year on Thursday and Friday. JCC will reopen on Saturday at 1:30 p.m.

Kriss also discussed Rosh Hashanah. She said that it is widely understood as the Jewish New Year Day. She said that the holiday has a fourfold meaning. First. It is the Jewish New Year, celebrated with holiday greeting cards, special prayers, and festive and sweet foods (such as apples and honey) to ensure sweetness in the New Year. Second. It is also the Day of Judgment, a day when Jews worldwide examine their past deeds and ask for forgiveness of their sins. Third. It is a Day of Remembrance when Jews review the history of their people and pray for Israel. Finally. It is the Day of Shofar Blowing. The Shofar is blown in the synagogue to herald the beginning of the 10-day period known as the High Holy Days. The Jewish High Holy Days are observed during the 10-day period between the first day (Rosh Hashanah) and the 10th day (Yom Kippur) of Tishri, the seventh month of the Jewish calendar.

Kriss said that a free concert by Mark Wilder will take place Sunday September 23 as part of the dedication of a new mural in the JCC College Avenue Preschool Multi-purpose room. The mural, which depicts the Creation and other stories from the Torah, is being dedicated to Mim Chenfeld in honor of her 37 years of service to the Early Childhood program at the JCC. The event will begin at 4 p.m.

In November, Holiday Bazaars are scheduled at the College Avenue and New Albany JCC locations. The Holiday Bazaars showcas the work of artisans from across Central Ohio.

Kriss also reported on activities for seniors. She noted that the JCC provides transportation to seniors within a 10 mile radius, and that participants do not have to be Jewish to participate in programs. She said that the programs currently scheduled are a Senior Camp Out, Wednesday, September 19, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Blacklick Woods.

Another interesting program coming up is “Get to know your voting machine,” presented by Howard Heard of the Franklin County Board of Elections, on Monday, September 24 at 11:15 a.m. This program also is free and open to everyone.

Heath, Ohio. Bexley girls soccer team defeats Heath girls.

The final score was Bexley girls 10, Heath 0.

The Heath girls were good individual players but did not coalesce as a team.

Both teams showed good sportsmanship.

The soccer field was in a low area, on an irregular shaped lot surrounded by tree-covered hills. Beautiful setting for a soccer match. When autumn colors come in another month, the setting will be even more beautiful.

The Heath girls team colors were orange and white. The boys teams played after the girls teams. The Heath boys soccer uniforms were orange, black and white.

More Bexley parents attended the girls game than the boys game. More Bexley parents attended both the girls and boys matches than Heath parents.

Cleveland, Ohio. CMOs. Toxic waste or the green fields of summer?

My impressions of Wall Street trading activity and financial reporting this summer.

Wall Street journalists described a choppy financial August for banks, lenders and sophisticated investors.

Sub-prime lenders and sub-prime paper were painted as villains and by innuendo the paper became over -valued.

Derivatives, hedge funds, real estate lenders, banks and insurance companies were described, particularly in August, as facing tough times. Some journalists even suggested some investment paper was “damaged without chance of repair.”

The holders of sub-prime paper responded by pointing fingers of blame at the sub-prime lenders.

Class action litigators were licking their lips with anticipation.

In early June someone gave me a policy discussion paper from the Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank. It had a catchy title that seemed interesting so I put the paper aside to read later. I didn’t pick it up until Labor Day weekend. The title was “Who holds the toxic waste? An investigation of CMO holdings.”

CMOs are Collateralized Mortgage Obligations. This is the very paper that, according to journalists, was roiling the August financial markets.

“Toxic waste” seems a bit edgy way to describe the financial instruments that banks, insurance companies and mutual funds were buying.

The two researchers at the Cleveland Fed described their research undertaking as using simulations to predict how the risk from Collateralized Mortgage Obligations would “manifest itself” in various interest rate environments. “Manifest itself?” “Toxic waste?” These economists began to sound like evangelical preachers or a couple Al Gores on the stump.

The researchers said they also were looking for evidence of how much of this paper was held and by whom. The researchers said that very limited public information is available except for the reports that commercial banks are required to file.

Accordingly, the researchers concentrated their efforts on the commercial banks sector.

Much of the report concerns common types of mortgage derivatives traded on Wall Street namely Z values, IO values and PO values. (Z’s are security holders who are last in line. IOs are security holders who get interest payments and POs are security holders who get principal payments.)

Obviously the researchers compute the mean reversions for each of these mortgage derivatives. Not surprisingly, they use a Monte Carlo model of stochastic interest rates and mortgage cash flows.

Their principal assumption in computations is that interest rates will follow a discretized Cox Ingersoll and Ross (1985) process with monthly shocks to annual interest rates being decribed by the Cox Ingersoll and Ross formula.

The other assumptions are pretty normal: an assumed upper interest rate boundary of thirty percent and an assumed interest rate volatility based on a fourteen year data base. (fourteen years seems a paltry number of years, but given the similar short existance of CMOs I can understand a rationale for the short span of interest rate data).

A final noteworthy assumption was based on some investment bank estimates. The researchers assumed that there is a nonlinear relationship between prepayment rates and interest rates, that is, just because interest rates rise, prepayment rates will not necessarily rise at the same rate.

From all of these assumptions and some math, the researchers offer their first conclusion: “…[W]e find that under conditions of typical interest rate volatility, the value of these derivatives is highly volatile.”

Good heavens.

It is a banal conclusion but that does sound like the Wall Street that journalists were describing in August.

The general conclusions of these researchers is consistent with their labeling CMO paper as toxic waste: “…CMO contructs can be dangerous.”

For the danger, they cite as examples the 1994 “multimillion-dollar losses” at Akin Capital Management, Piper Jaffray, the Louisiana State Retirement Fund and Yamachi Securities.

Another conclusion: “Unfortunately, the institutions that have assumed the risk in recent years are opaque and it is impossible to determine whether and where there are concentrated exposures.”

So these researchers tell us that CMOs are dangerous papers and that we don’t know who holds this toxic paper except for banks which are required to report their holdings of “toxic waste.”

In the full report, the researchers give the names of ten banks that they think held this “toxic waste” in 2005. For these ten banks, they list the amount of the CMO holdings as a percentage of assets and as percentage of capital.

All of the banks listed are owned by publicly traded financial holding companies.

The information is displayed in Table 4 in the paper.

The information is easy to find, easy to understand and it really seemed to me that the Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank was inviting investors to sell these stocks to avoid the risk of the toxic waste that these researchers said the banks held.

Name
CMOs (thousands of dollars)
Percentage of total assets
Percentage of capital

Commerce Bank, NA
$14,551,881
41.89% assets
724.96% capital

Merrill Lynch Bank
$7,930,545
13.14% assets
133.34% capital

Countrywide Bank, NA
$4,946,132
6.76% assets
92.56% capital

Merrill Lynch B&T
$4,460,239
42.47% assets
583.85% capital

Fifth Third Bank
$3,700,011
7.77% assets
75.17% capital

Charles Schwab Bank, NA
$3,424,178
50.13% assets
619.49% capital

New York Community Bank
$2,684,223
10.48% assets
132.87% capital

Branch B&T, Virginia
$2,577,437
11.45% assets
162.71% capital

HSBC Bank USA, NA
$2,339,228
1.66% assets
24.03% capital

Associated Bank, NA
$2,251,297
10.31% assets
150.99% capital


Did investors take the bait offered? Did investors dump the stocks of the banks that these two researchers said held this toxic waste? Admittedly, their list was for banks that held CMOs in 2005.

First a couple observations on Table 4. The CMOs cause noticeable distortions of financial measures for three of the banks. Commerce Bank, Merrill Lynch B&T, and Charles Schwab Bank. These three banks are in first, fourth and fifth positions as to total amount of CMOs held. They are also the top three when it comes to CMOs as a percentage of total assets and percentage of capital.

These are the kinds of distortions that catch the attention of investors and analysts. Also they are the kinds of distortions that give class action plaintiff attorneys whiffs of fresh red meat.

By these three ordinary measures, the three banks Commerce, Merrill Lynch B&T and Charles Schwab appear to be toxic waste dumps.

The Cleveland Fed policy paper is dated June, 2007. I received it sometime in July. Who knows if anyone on Wall Street received the policy paper or even read it.

I decided to make an estimate of whether the policy discussion paper might have had an effect on trading in the stocks related to the banks listed in Table 4.

I could have used trading volume in these stocks. Instead I chose approximate average closing price for the period April, 2007 through August, 2007.

The six months worth of monthly average closing price for the financial holding companies that own the banks in Table 4:

Name of bank and ticker

July $90
August $90

Associated Bank, NA . ASBC

The parent of Commerce Bank begins the period with a stock price of $33 and ends the period with a stock price of $37.

Charles Schwab begins the period with a stock price of $19 and ends the period with a stock price of $19.

Merrill Lynch is the only one with a noticeable decline from $80 to $72.

Similar varieties of trading results appear for the other seven banks.

My common sense conclusion is that the Cleveland Federal Reserve report had no effect on Wall Street trading in the stocks of the parent companies of these ten banks.

Whatever happened on Wall Street during the month of August was not related to the Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank policy paper.

Bexley, Ohio. Solar Schools. Foundation for Environmental Education interviewed by WCRX-LP host Joe Contino.

WCRX-LP afternoon host Joe Contino interviewed the executive director of Foundation for Environmental Education, Glen Kizer.

Glen Kizer described a Solar Schools project that helps school districts in Ohio install solar panels on individual school buildings.

The program is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Ohio Department of Development and private funding sources.

Besides the foundation’s activities in Ohio, Kizer also described the foundation’s projects in California.

He said that the largest concentration of solar panels in the United States is in Northern California.

Kizer said that in Northern California there is a fortunate conjunction of all of the elements necessary for solar energy to become practical. He said the utilities in the area are familiar with the engineering requirements and support the development of solar power.

In Northern California, retail stores supply solar equipment. Banks and other lenders are familiar with the installations. There are skilled tradesmen and contractors who can efficiently install solar equipment.

And most importantly, consumers and local business executives in Northern California are knowledgeable about solar power.

The executive director of Foundation for Environmental Education said that Ohio is making progress in developing solar power but that the solar power infrastructure is in its infancy here.

Ohio utilities are generally supportive; banks are making progress in understanding about the solar industry and there is growing consumer interest. There are solar installation contractors and governmental support local and state agencies.

Program host Joe Contino described his own consideration of residential solar power.
Although he chose not to install solar power equipment at his residence, he is still interested in solar power and as the market develops said that he would continue to see it as an option.

Foundation for Environmental Education is an Ohio non-profit organization exempt from federal taxes under IRC 501(c)(3). Contributions to Foundation for Environmental Education are deductible from federal income tax for individuals who itemize their deductions.

The foundation has a blog at www.energyseeds.com and a website at learnenergy.org. Email to the executive director at glen@learnenergy.org.

Galloway also discussed Communiteen High School and the Florence Melton Adult Mini-School.

Communiteen allows teens in grades 9 through 12 to explore faith, values, ethics and Jewish history through current events and contemporary thinking. Classes for both programs begin on Sunday, September 16.

The Florence Melton Adult Mini-School is a two-year program that presents a comprehensive Judaic curriculum ranges from the Jewish life cycle to Jewish ethics and history.

The views of Reform, Conservative and Orthodox Judaism are presented in a comfortable setting that encourages discussions, questions and exploration.

“Jerry’s Girls,” is the opening production of the 2007-2008 Gallery Players’ season. The musical has been cast and rehearsals are underway.

Cast members include Gallery Players’ veterans Susan Bunsold, Wendy Cohen, Eileen Howard and Julie Russell. Making their Gallery Players’ debut will be Dawn Farrell and Danielle Mann, as well as newcomers Octavia Bogan and Ashley Parizek.

A brief review of events for senior was also provided by Galloway. She began by noting that JCC provides transportation for events within a 10 mile radius, and that events are open to participants who are not Jewish.

The Ohio Alliance for Retired Americans will give a presentation Friday, September 7. The program is free and open to everyone age 60 and older.

The New Horizons 60+ seniors group will tour the Ohio Governor’s Residence and Heritage Garden on Tuesday, September 11. The tour bus will depart the JCC at 9:30 a.m., and the docent-guided walking tour will take a little over an hour. There is a fee of $5 for JCC members and $6 for non-members.

Clintonville, Ohio. Green programing topics from Simply Living.

A commentator proposed the following guests to Simply Living for its radio programs. The suggestions were made in March, 2007 on Green Radio, the Simply Living blog.

1) Meera Parthasarathy to speak about the Columbus Green Building Forum

2) Mayor Michael Coleman to discuss his Get Green Columbus initiative

3) Representatives of Mayor Coleman's five "Green Team" subcommittees

4) A representative of MidOhioBio to talk about the biofuel cooperative proposed for Central Ohio

5) Dr. Fiksel to discuss the OSU Center for Resilience

The WCRX-LP Editorial collective has referred these suggestions on to its program host Amy Maurer for her Lunchtime Gardener program on WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM, Local Power Radio.

The speakers and topics are much more general than usually recommended to WCRX-LP program staff. With skillful direction, the topics might be adapted for Bexley area audiences.

Amy Maurer's Lunchtime Gardener is broadcast Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning at 11:00 a.m.
