ITEM 8.01.   OTHER EVENTS.

     Glenn C. Christenson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer,
has entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan to sell up to 93,462 shares of the
Company's common stock upon the exercise of certain options or sale of shares.
Portions of the shares may be sold any time the stock achieves certain
prearranged minimum prices and may take place beginning on February 9, 2005 and
ending on August 31, 2005, unless sooner terminated. Mr. Christenson will have
no control over the timing of any sales under the plan and there can be no
assurance that the shares covered by the plan actually will be sold. Mr.
Christenson entered into the plan in order to diversify his financial holdings,
although he will continue to have a significant ownership interest in the
Company.

     The trading plan is intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company's insider trading policy. Rule
10b5-1 allows corporate insiders to establish prearranged written plans to buy
or sell a specified number of shares of a company stock over a set period of
time. The specified number of shares sold may be determined pursuant to a
formula or may be at the discretion of a third party, so long as such person is
not aware of material non-public information. A plan must be entered into in
good faith at a time when the insider is not in possession of material,
nonpublic information. Subsequent receipt by the insider of material, nonpublic
information will not prevent transactions under the plans from being executed.
