TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

The More, The MerrierBy Tresa Erickson

Some folks prefer hunting solo. They enjoy being out in the field alone and having no one to account for. Others prefer hunting with a few buddies. Not only do they have someone to look out for them, but they have someone to share stories and tips with. If you are just beginning, you might find it best to hunt with others, at least for

the time being. Don’t know of any hunters? No problem. You can join a hunting club.

Hunting is as popular as ever, and there are hundreds of hunting clubs across the coun-try. To find one in your area, conduct a search online. You will find many Web sites where you can look up hunt-ing clubs in your area.

Before you contact any clubs, be aware that membership usually does not come free. You will probably have to pay some sort of annual or monthly fees.

There are several perks to being part of a hunting club beyond the camaraderie. Members often receive information on various locations and developments in the field as well as discounts on hunting gear and equipment at a number of retail-ers. You might also receive information on

various tournaments in the area and the chance to represent the club at a particu-lar one. Other perks include access to pri-vately owned lands, accommodations at certain lodges or cabins, guided hunts and more.

As with anything, you need to choose a hunting club carefully. Find out what type of hunting the club does. If you’re interest-ed in hunting whitetail deer using dogs, make sure the club is akin to that. If the club owns land, find out how much, where it is located, how wooded it is, what kind of game it holds and how many members use it. Ask to see records of the harvest and compare the acreage to the number of members. Most experts recommend there be no more than one member per 100 acres. Find out about any amenities offered on the land as well. Is there a club-house or at the very least some sort of shelter with electricity and water? If not, are you prepared to rough it?

There are good clubs and bad clubs. Look closely into any that interest you and know what you are getting into. The better the club, the higher the fees may be. You defi-nitely get what you pay for with a hunting club.

Increase Your Tax DeductionsYou have another month to wrap up your 2009 tax year. Taking even a few steps now can give you more deductions from your taxes next April. Here are some ideas:--Make an additional mortgage payment this year and get a larger mortgage interest statement. That amount gets deducted from your Schedule A, assuming you itemize and don’t take the standard deduction. Be sure to send it early enough that it’s included in your 2009 payments.--If your property taxes aren’t escrowed, you likely get a bill with the amount due in two equal installments, one payable now and one in the spring. Pay all of it now and deduct it on your Schedule A.--Make de-cluttering part of your holiday pre-guest cleaning, and donate the usable stuff to Goodwill or the Salvation Army. Get a receipt for your donation with each item clearly listed. Consider using a software program called It’s Deductible made by Turbo Tax that will help you assign a realistic value. Keep your paperwork and deduct it on the Schedule A.--If you itemize your deductions, your medical and dental deductions have to exceed the 7.5 percent Adjusted Gross Income before you actually get a deduction. If you know you’re already over that amount, consider using December for medical and dental procedures and add those to your deductions for the year. Remember to add up all of your medical mileage, too.--Are you self-employed? Stock up on office supplies you’ll need for the coming months. Buy computer paper by the carton and printer cartridges by the dozen if you’ll use them before they dry up. (Check the expiration dates.) Consider whether it’s time for a new computer, printer, external hard drive or monitor, and buy them now. Watch the store sales between now and the end of the year for bargains.If your office phone is likely to fail in the next six months, consider buying a new one. You don’t actually have to use it until the old one stops working. Be sure to save all your receipts. Pre-pay any subscriptions you order for business. Defer income, if possible, by sending out invoices near the end of December so the payments won’t arrive until January.

EVERY WEEK!

By Samantha Weaver

• It was way back in the 19th century that American statesman Daniel Webster made the following sage observation: “The world is governed more by appearances than realities, so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it.”

• Scary movies like “Jaws” notwithstanding, experts claim that you are 50 times more likely to be killed by a bee than you are to be killed by a shark.

• All official American flags must be lowered and put away at night -- all except one. The flag that was placed on the moon on July 20, 1969, by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin (for obvious reasons) remains flying at all times.

• Although almost everyone today thinks of the dictator Napoleon as being unusually short, records show that he was actually 5 feet, 6 inches tall, which was the average

height for a man in France at that time.

• Those who study such things say that the coolest parts

of the sun are approximately 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, while the hottest spots can reach a whopping 15 million degrees.

• The popular pub pastime of darts originated in the Middle Ages as a training game for archers.

• Theodore Roosevelt was the first American president to drive an automobile, as well as the first to own one.

• Although our lives are centered around (and sometimes seem completely ruled by) the seven-day week, not all cultures have demarcated dates that way. Ancient Egyptians once used a 10-day week, and ancient Romans followed a pattern of 8-day weeks.***Thought for the Day: “In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress.” -- John Adams
