Introducing Tim Herzog, Realtor. Since Today In Real Estate on page 7 is the first article I am submitting to this publication, let me introduce myself. I am your ‘Local Realtor’ right here in Rathdrum, Idaho and have been licensed since 1991. Over the years I have worked at several real estate firms in the area and about a year and a half ago came to Twin Lakes Realty. My background is diverse with owning small businesses over the years, co-forming several nonprofit organizations, working as an unpaid lobbyist and initiating the successful passage of legislation in Idaho in 2006. I have also been involved in the ‘political arena’ as a candidate for public office several times. I welcome new clients and offer my 40+ years of combined business and real estate knowledge and experience to work for you.

Say you saw it in the Rathdrum Weekly News Rathdrum Weekly News - http://www.RathdrumWeeklyNews.com 13785 West Highway 53 / Rathdrum ID 83858 / v 208.687.0183 / f 208.687.5838 Will the Presidential Election Affect Investment Outlook? We’re just a few weeks away from the first caucuses and primaries, so presidential election season is in full swing. As a voter, you may be keenly interested in the election process. But as an investor, should you be concerned? year ahead, in terms of the performance of the financial markets. As mentioned above, many factors influence this performance, and at this early stage in the year, we just can’t predict which of these factors will take precedence. If you take a look back, you might be somewhat encouraged over the prospects of the financial markets this year. In the last 12 presidential election years, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has been up nine times and down just three. So, election years must be good for the financial markets, right? So, instead of worrying about things you can’t control, focus on those that you can. For starters, review your investment mix. Does it still properly reflect your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon? Over time, even if you haven’t made many changes to your portfolio, it can become “unbalanced.” For example, if you own some stocks that Not necessarily.

And it’s safe to say that 2016 degree of risk. Consequently, you might want to consider selling off some of these will be no different. At this early stage of the year, one could say that some of these stocks and using the proceeds to fill in other gaps in your portfolio. factors, such as continued low interest rates and a reasonably strong economy, On the other hand, if you think your mix of might bode well for investors. But there’s a investments is not providing you with the lot of 2016 ahead of us – and it’s returns you need to help make progress notoriously difficult for anybody, even sotoward your long-term objectives, you may called experts, to accurately predict the need to add some vehicles that can provide market’s performance over a relatively you with more growth potential. After all, short time, such as a year. it’s 2016 now, so whatever your age, you are another year closer to retirement. Still, the market’s history of pretty good results in presidential election years may not be entirely random. For one thing, the White House is never the only office being contested; elections are also held for every congressional district and many seats in the Senate. Consequently, during these election years, campaigning often takes precedence over legislating. This legislative inactivity tends to be welcomed by the financial markets, which generally dislike surprises, big changes and new directions. Will this year look like past presidential election years, as far as good returns from the stock market? No one can say for sure. But if you “vote” for smart investment moves, you won’t be sorry. However, you can’t really count on past trends to provide a certain roadmap for the Stop by to say Hi! and to pick up a copy of this weeks newsletter.

Highway 53 Rathdrum, ID. 83858 From page 1: Post 154 News over telephone service. 2015 was an exciting and productive year. We created a new American Legion post 1 year ago from a small group of 16 motivated people. We now have 73 members who jump in when help is needed! We have our permanent charter and our name - Manuel Schneidmiller Post 154, and are financially sound. That is really a huge accomplishment that we can all take pride in. The community of Rathdrum has welcomed us enthusiastically and always supports our programs and events. The Schneidmiller family not only allowed us to name our post after Mannie Schneidmiller, but also made a very generous contribution to our Post. March brought us Rob Reiner's (remember Meathead?) mockumentary “This is Spinal Tap”. It is a movie that chronicled the fictional comeback tour of the British heavy metal rockers Spinal Tap. The new year is ripe with potential and promises only positive things for Post 154. May this new year be full of health and happiness and fondest desires met.

In July 1984, President Reagan declared July to be National Ice Cream Month, with National Ice Cream Day on the third Sunday of that month. The “Moon Treaty” also took effect with 15 countries ratifying it. September 1984 introduced us to the Autobots and Decepticons and their ongoing battle for the resources necessary to return to their home planet of Cybertron. From page 1: Welcome to 2016!

Texas, the second-most populous state, is joining 44 other states in allowing at least some firearm owners to carry handguns openly in public places. Under the Texas law, guns can be carried by those with licenses and only in holsters. Delaware is allowing people who are in the United States illegally to be licensed to drive. Currently ten states and the District of Columbia allow this. Conversely, California, the most populous state, has multiple new laws on gun control. One tightens a ban on firearms in and around schools. Under the new law, the prohibition will apply even to most people who are allowed to carry concealed weapons generally. California and Oregon will become the first states that automatically register eligible voters when they obtain or renew their driver's licenses. You can opt-out if you wish, but how many will? Hawaii is becoming the first state to raise its minimum age, from 18 to 21, to buy or use cigarettes or e-cigarettes. While the law goes into effect on the 1st, it won't be enforced until March 1. Illinois is making it a misdemeanor to leave pets outside during extreme weather.

When fewer people are out of work, those claiming the benefits will be cut off sooner. The maximum length of the benefits will be reduced from the current 20 weeks - already among the shorter periods in the nation - to 13. Oregonians driving non-commercial vehicles will be allowed to pump their own gas — so long as they're stopped at a service station in a rural area (counties with 40,000 people or fewer) between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. South Dakotans looking to toast the new year can now get wine delivered by mail. A new law allows adults in the state to order up to 12 cases a year from any properly licensed winery. North Carolina, a voter identification law passed in 2013 that requires people to show a photo ID is taking effect this year. In Idaho we have had to present photo ID since 2010. The wages are rising in California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Rhode Island, Vermont and West Virginia on Friday January 8th. States with automatic annual increases effective Jan. 1 are Arizona, Colorado, Montana, New Jersey, Ohio and South Dakota. Other items of interest this year. Under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, individuals who choose not to get health insurance through government exchanges, on their own or via their employers have to pay an additional tax. If you do not have health insurance coverage in 2015, you’ll have to pay the higher of these two amounts: • 2 percent of your yearly income above the tax-filing threshold (generally about $10,150) up to a maximum cost of the national average premium to purchase a Bronze Plan from the federal healthcare exchange. Or … • $695 per person ($347.50 per child under 18). The maximum penalty per family using this method is $2,085. Those costs have more than tripled from calendar year 2014 when the penalty was $95 per person or 1 percent of household income. The normal tax due date of April 15, 2016 falls on an official District of Columbia holiday called Emancipation Day. As a result, taxpayers will have until April 18, 2016, to file their 2015 returns.
