LOS ANGELES, Calif., Sept. 4, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — On the second Monday of October, many states celebrate Columbus Day to commemorate the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas on October 12, 1492. The event is also celebrated in 16 children’s songs on “Columbus Day Songs That Tickle Your Funny Bone” by Ruth Roberts. The songs have been newly digitized and made available on iTunes.

“While primarily aimed at children in kindergarten through the sixth grade, these sing-along songs are fun for the whole family,” notes Susan Nicoletti, Director of Operations for Goldenrod Music and Michael Brent Publications, the publishing companies that oversee Ruth Roberts’ songs. “We’re also finding that these collections of Ruth’s songs are very popular with special needs children as well as their parents and teachers,” Nicoletti added.

Songs on the album include “Columbus Sailed the Ocean Blue,” “World is Really Round, Round, Round,” and “Nina and the Pinta and the Santa Maria.”

“While many of Ruth Roberts’ tunes are often called ‘classic,’ we’re pleased to have them all available in digital format on iTunes along with the usual CD format available on the Ruth Roberts Music site,” says Nicoletti.

“Children love learning as they sing along with these funny and often pun-filled songs. Plus, they are all G-Rated,” Nicoletti states, referencing her five years as a member of the ratings board for the Motion Picture Association of America.

ABOUT RUTH ROBERTS: Beginning her children’s music career working with Bob Keeshan — TV’s Captain Kangaroo — Ruth Roberts also wrote pop, gospel, rock, blues, and country songs. Sports fans know “Meet the Mets,” “It’s a Beautiful Day for a Ball Game,” and “Mr. Touchdown, USA” while Beatles fans know “Mailman Bring Me No More Blues” on the “Anthology 3″ album (although they may not realize Roberts wrote that song).

Love songs written by Roberts were recorded by stars like Dean Martin, Debbie Reynolds, Theresa Brewer, Jimmy Dean, The McGuire Sisters, Patti Page, Vic Damone, Arthur Godfrey, Steve Allen and Eydie Gorme. Movie and TV viewers have heard Roberts’ songs in “Yes Man,” “The Benchwarmer,” “A Dirty Shame,” “Everybody Loves Raymond,” “Seinfeld,” and the Conan O’Brien show.

Using her facility for children’s music, she created several albums and miniature musicals of fun but educational songs. “Teachers and educators are continually rediscovering the many easy-to-stage musicals written by Ruth Roberts,” states Nicoletti.

Team Seagraves of RE/MAX Alliance Tops List of Most Productive Real Estate Agents

Team Seagraves Ranked Among Top 1,000 in U.S.

RE/MAX Alliance - Team Seagraves the thousandDAYTON, Ohio, July 1, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — RE/MAX agents led the 2013 list of the top 1,000 real estate sales professionals in the U.S. as measured by the number of properties sold per agent, says RE/MAX Alliance.

Published by The Wall Street Journal and REAL Trends, “The Thousand” ranked the top 250 agents and top 250 teams for transaction sides and sales volume. When the 500 transaction standings are combined, RE/MAX agents hold 98 places. That’s one out of five – and more than any other real estate brand in the report, which ranks participating agents based on 2012 production.

Forty-three RE/MAX agents were ranked among the Top 250 individuals for most transaction sides. Mike and John – Team Seagraves of RE/MAX Alliance was ranked 229 on the Top 250 teams list.

“We’re proud of these RE/MAX agents for their outstanding professionalism and commitment,” said RE/MAX CEO Margaret Kelly. “Their dedication to their clients is why– year in and year out – RE/MAX sells more real estate than any other real estate franchise.”

Mike and John Seagraves have almost 30 years experience in the Dayton area real estate market.

“We’re seeing an increase in the market, and our office has been very busy,” shares Mike Seagraves. “There are a number of opportunities right now, no matter what your real estate goals.”

“The Thousand” results are not the first time that RE/MAX agents have been shown to be more productive. Earlier this year, RE/MAX agents were found to be the most productive in the 2013 REAL Trends 500 survey of the nation’s largest participating real estate brokerages, based on total transaction sides. RE/MAX agents averaged twice as many transaction sides per agent as all other agents.

Deer Park Schools Updating Buildings to Save in Annual Utility Expense

energy optimizers, usaTIPP CITY, Ohio, June 27, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Jeff Langdon, Superintendent of Deer Park Community City Schools, announced that the district is implementing an energy conservation project to reduce energy usage, improve the facilities, and save taxpayer dollars. “We are very fortunate to be able to increase the efficiency of our school buildings and at the same time save our taxpayers significant tax dollars. We look forward to the completion of the HB 264 Project so that we can showcase the results to our school community,” stated Jeff Landon, Superintendent of Deer Park Community City Schools. The district selected Energy Optimizers, USA, to develop complete turn-key energy conservation solutions for four district buildings.

To implement this project without asking for any taxpayer money, the district is utilizing a funding mechanism through the Ohio School Facilities Commission’s House Bill 264 program.

Energy Savings for Deer Park Community City Schools
With efficiency, sustainability, and cost savings in mind, Energy Optimizers, USA, along with strategic partner, SHP Leading Design, has designed the Deer Park Community City Schools project to include significant energy conservation measures that will result in a reduction of at least $45,352 in annual energy savings. The implementation of this project will ensure that both Holmes Primary Schools and the Deer Park Junior/Senior High School will experience building upgrades and improved utility efficiencies.

“To date, SHP has helped over 30 school districts with energy saving initiatives,” noted Charlie Jahnigen, Vice President of SHP Leading Design. “Since 2009, SHP has worked with Deer Park Community City Schools to improve their learning environments. Focusing on energy efficiency is a great step to long-term facility management,” added Jahnigen. The breadth of project experience and commitment to a critical mission by Energy Optimizers, USA and SHP will serve this Cincinnati-area school district well. The benefits of this partnership are multi-faceted in the sense that not only will the project be implemented in a timely and thorough manner, the mission of both companies is met by executing sustainable, responsible energy conservation projects while alleviating the costs associated with maintaining a comfortable and productive space for learning.

At a cost of $523,352, this project includes interior and exterior lighting updates, kitchen walk-in temperature controls, real-time energy management, and a variable refrigerant flow system in the High School’s computer lab and in Holmes Primary, which is vastly more efficient than the existing window units and will maintain a comfortable, productive environment for both students and faculty. In addition to the two-year energy management program, Energy Optimizers, USA will also provide funds to both the Primary and Junior/Senior High to implement an energy education program, which will be available to interested students.

“We are excited about the implementation of this project,” notes Greg Smith, President of Energy Optimizers, USA. “Through this process Deer Park Community City Schools will not only experience a reduction in energy consumption, resulting in a significant annual savings in utility costs, their facilities will be more efficient and sustainable. We have made a commitment to the educational institutions we serve to create a comfortable, environmentally responsible learning environment where students can flourish, in addition to providing funds to foster energy education.”

Energy Education Program
Energy Optimizers, USA will work with the school district to implement an energy education and training program, tied to the curriculum, for students and staff. Activities will include creating and implementing a district-wide energy conservation handbook incorporating suggested student and staff behaviors and expectations that directly affect energy usage, and having the school district qualify for and become recognized by the Federal Energy Star Energy Efficient Buildings Program.

The Eaton Community Schools energy conservation project, implemented in 2011, included lighting retrofits, advanced building controls, solar thermal and solar PV systems, and kitchen exhaust retrofits, resulting in an annual $287,535 in energy cost savings.

The Youth Leadership Award, a $2,500 scholarship funded by Energy Optimizers, USA, was awarded to Halderman because of his exceptional academic performance, leadership abilities, commitment to his local community, and post-secondary interests.
