Relay for Life Event At Cassville, Missouri

Shell Knob has three Relay for Life teams participating in the July 16th and 17th Annual Relay for Life event in Cassville, Missouri. The program will take place at 7 p.m. till 7a.m. on the Cassville High School football field. The teams, Lakeview Dream Makers, Lake Bloomers, and Shell Knob Warriors have worked tirelessly since March in fundraising efforts to aid in the effort to cure cancer. The program consists of a Cancer Survivors Dinner (please register to attend dinner), relay begins with a Survivors Lap at 7p.m., a Basket Auction at 8:30 p.m., and at nightfall a Luminary Ceremony. The Survivors Lap and ensuing laps are meant to imitate the path that the cancer victim takes throughout their battle with cancer. Many volunteers and others spend the night at the track visiting and keeping memories alive of lost family and friends to cancer.
The kick off for this year took place at St. John’s Clinic in Shell Knob. St. John and their staff have been key members in supporting this program. This important program owes it origin in Shell Knob to a hardworking individual, Gail Megura. This lady, brought the Relay for Life program to Shell Knob two years ago. The program will continue with members from the community and local businesses.
A basket auction will take place the night of the Relay. In the past, purses, food, popcorn, BBQ items, coolers filled with spa items, baseball memorabilia, picnic items, fishing supplies, or makeup items, anything but tobacco alcohol items. No animals please. Contact Sue Beck for additional information at 858-1185 or if you have items you would like to donate.

Raising Taxes in 2011
by Joan Pryde
I contacted my Congressman about House Bill 3590, the
Health Care bill and asked for a summary of changes. The Aide directed
me to go to http://www.thomas.gov/, enter “HR 3590″ in the search box and look for “CRS Summaries.”
Starting in 2011—next year—the W-2 tax form sent by your
employer will be increased to show the value of whatever health insurance you are provided.
It doesn’t matter if you’re retired; your gross income
WILL go up by the amount of insurance your employer paid for. So you’ll be required to pay taxes on a larger sum of money than you actually received; take the tax form you just finished and see what $15,000.00 or $20,000.00 additional gross income does to your tax debt. That’s what
you’ll pay next year. For many, it puts you into a much higher bracket.
This is how the government is going to buy insurance for fifteen (15) percent that don’t have insurance and it’s only part of the tax increases, but it’s not really a “tax increase” as such; it a redefinition of your taxable income.
Not believing this, I researched the CRS Summary and
here’s what found:
Title IX Revenue Provisions—Subtitle A: Revenue Offset
“(Sec. 9002) Requires employers to include in the W-2 form
of each employee the aggregate cost of applicable employer-sponsored
group health coverage that is excludable from the employee’s gross
income (excluding the value of contributions to flexible spending
arrangements).”
Joan Pryde, is the Senior Tax Editor for the Kiplinger
Letters. Go to Kiplinger’s and read about the thirteen (13) tax changes
for 2010 that could affect you.
Why am I sending you this? The same reason I hope you
forward this to every single person in your address book. People have
the right to know the truth because an election is coming in November.
So vote intelligently, based on your values. But also adjust your tax
withholding, or increase your savings, so that you aren’t surprised and
put in a jam when your federal income taxes are due on April 15, 2012.
Thanks a lot, no-tax-raising liars.

A WOMAN’S POEM:
Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man who’s not a creep,
One who’s handsome, smart and strong.
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who’ll call, not wait for weeks.
I pray he’s rich and self-employed,
And when I spend, won’t be annoyed.
Pull out my chair and hold my hand.
Massage my feet and help me stand.
Oh send a king to make me queen.
A man who loves to cook and clean.
I pray this man will love no other.
And relish visits with my mother.
A MAN’S POEM:
I pray for a deaf-mute gymnast nymphomaniac with big tits who owns a bar on a golf course,
and loves to send me fishing and drinking. This
doesn’t rhyme and I don’t give a shit.
