President Michele Turner JANUARY 2018
Welcome to the New Year of 2018. We have many
programs that we will be busy with this year. This is an
election year. Primary is in the spring and the General election follows
in November. It will be great to meet and listen to each candidate when
they join us at our luncheons and tell us their plans for the future should
they win. We should unite and work for the candidates of our choice.
This will show that SHRW is working for the Republican Party.
I enjoy walking the neighborhoods, meeting so many interesting people.
I also talk to women and men of the clubs I belong to: duplicate bridge,
swimming, book clubs, etc.
Be the first on their list to call with questions and maybe they would like
to know how to volunteer. This is another way to increase our SHRW
membership also. I truly believe that women are the heart and soul of
working for the Republican candidates.
Step forward and let Southern Hills Republican Women be the
leaders for our candidates.

GOT KIDS? By Bob Beers
Section 529 plans provide small tax advantages to reward parents and grandparents who save money for the eventual college expenses of children in their lives. Several types of these plans are administered by the Nevada Treasurer’s office on behalf of the Nevada Legislature. The federal tax law changes passed by Congress at the end of 2017 changed these programs. Before describing the change, we must describe how they worked before.
Unlike contributions to your IRA, contributions to your 529 account are “after-tax” so there is no immediate tax benefit. Earnings in the account are reinvested, and over the course of a childhood, could grow to double contributions. No income tax is assessed as the account value builds.
After the beneficiary graduates from high school, their junior college or college expenses (tuition, books, living, travel, etc) can be paid for from the 529 account and the earnings are not taxed (the principle is all contributed after-tax, so income tax is never assessed when it is withdrawn).
In the 2017 tax bill, Congress opened this up for parents to pay for up to $10,000 per year for elementary and secondary private school expenses from their 529 savings, free of income tax.
Because only the investment earnings portion of 529 accounts are tax-advantaged, the longer between when money is invested into a 529 account and when the principle and earnings are withdrawn for educational purposes, the greater the tax benefit of the program.
Because the years between birth and kindergarten are so much shorter, the value of the change in the tax benefit is much smaller than the benefits that 529 plans already offer parents saving for their newborn’s college.
529 accounts spark heated discussion among groups of political and social scientists. Critics of 529 accounts say they only help the rich. Defenders of the program argue they promote self-sufficiency for middle class and higher families whose children generally are not eligible for means scholarships, and that it is structured so that no tax benefit at all happens until a child is getting educated.
The Nevada Legislature has offered several kinds of savings accounts, administered by the Nevada Treasurer. Learn more at nv529.org.

FEBRUARY 27th Rana Goodman will be our guest speaker bring-ing Us an update on the changes in guardianship. There have been ad-vances in the way the different state judiciaries are treating the subject and in the legislature too and she has been attending seminars and workshops keeping abreast of it all.
The idea is to promote “Supported Decision Making” as an alternative to guardianship in all of the court systems whenever possible. Something that will be discussed at this luncheon.
We hope to see you there.

My Point of View
By Rana Goodman
Isolate, Medicate, Take the Estate is a common thing you will hear when talking to families of guardian abuse victims... However if you have ever had the heartache of caring for an aging loved one, you may already know the pain of keeping them comfortable, while managing the correct
level of medication staff is prescribing for them and giving to them.
My own daughters asked me check the list of medications that were being given to their father at the care facility he had been in a few months ago. When I began feeding the names of each into my computer, I found many overlapped each other. I had one of my daughters take my print-out to his doctor and question what her father was being given and why he was no longer able to deal with physical therapy treatments. As soon as the requested adjustments were made and the offending medications removed he was able to resume therapy.
It is really frightening to comprehend how many nursing facilities, be it due to understaffing or lack of training, seem to rely on medications to control patients behavior by keeping them “docile or in sleep mode” rather than deal with their needs in a “non-hospital” facility. The more people I speak to looking for referrals on assisted living, nursing homes and group homes all seem to report the same complaints of friends and/or family always seeming to be “asleep”…..
If you find that you must place someone , even for a short time in a nursing facility, please take a copy of their medications and verify what they are being given to your pharmacy. Confirm that none conflict with each other and that what they are being given is needed for their condition.
If they are not in an agitated state they do not need powerful tranquilizers or sleeping pills and they certainly, at our age, don’t need opioids that are addictive. It is “an ounce of prevention” that could save your loved ones life….. Please be aware and be firm in your insistence that they be treated with dignity and care.

Remembering Kate By Janet Suttcliffe
As you read this, we’ve just turned the calendar to January 2018! You’re probably busy putting decorations away and getting ready to jump into the New Year.
But as I sit here writing this, it’s one week before Christmas and my thoughts are totally submerged in the Holiday festivities. There are parties to go to, cards to mail, presents to wrap and send out, family and friends I can’t wait to spend the holiday with – it’s a wonderful time of the year.
As I reflect on all the fun parties, the family and friends and the many blessing of the season, I can’t help but think of the Steinle family and what this Christmas holiday will be for them. And of the people and events that changed their lives forever.
Jose Ines Garcia Zarate. Jose is the perfect example of the effect sanctuary policies will have on California. He’s a barely literate drug dealer from Mexico with a second grade education. Deported five times for committing crimes in our country. He was in San Francisco to be deported for the sixth time, but the sheriff ignored the request from ICE to hold him, instead let him go back out into the streets.
Zarate chose to stay in San Francisco later picked up a gun and shot Kate Steinle in the heart. Kate, a beautiful 32 year old who just happened to be taking a walk with her Dad.
Jose had many different stories to tell about what happened. First, he was aiming at a sea lion not Kate; then, he didn’t know that he was handling a gun. The gun had been stolen from a Law enforcement agent’s car but Jose didn’t know how it got from the car into his hand. Then he said he picked it up with a rag and it accidentally went off. His lawyer said this gun can be fired without the trigger being pulled. What??? The gun was a Sig Sauer P239 double action with a 10 lb. pull. That’s quite a trick.
The public defender, said Jose’s immigration status had no relevance to this case. Jose killed Kate and was acquitted on all homicide and assault charges and was only found guilty of illegal gun possession.
The Steinle’s lives have changed forever. I pray that their hearts will heal and they know there are a lot of us out there fighting for them and Kate’s Law, and we’re not going to give up. Legal immigration is one fight we are not giving in on. We’ve got a lot to do this election year! Draining the swamp and getting some real conservatives elected is going to be a big job but we’ve already proven that, against all odds, we can do it!
Agenda 21 By Linda Buckardt Agenda 21, now called Agenda 2030, is a mandate by the United Nations for our country. Other countries have put demands on the United States, and all countries, regarding our environmental standards, CO2 reduction policies, land grab by BLM (in NV, we are only allowed to use 14% of our land) ride our bikes to reduce pollution, paths for walking, control of health care, education and basically, our lives. They are stacking people into high density, so to control their movements. There is a connection to the demands of the UN in our Henderson Strong Plan. Any new road is required to have bike paths, new curbs and sidewalk. That plan also seems to shame us for driving our cars. Property is being rezoned from medium to high density. We also are paving our roads so that value of the land owner's property goes up. A giveaway?
