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.

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

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

This end of the year data is what I have compiled from the local MLS and any
inaccuracies may be contributed to the author!
Well that should give everyone a good idea on what the local market has done this past
year. Rathdrum properties have been especially in demand and more residential listings
are needed. As long as lending rates don’t rise significantly, 2016 should be a very good
year again for real estate in our area.

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

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.

New Laws for 2016
As we gaze around the country, some new laws that are taking effect with the new year.
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.
In Missouri, a new law will link the duration of jobless benefits to the state's

unemployment rate. 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.

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.

The Community Center does not receive ANY government or taxpayer support. It is
completely run through the hard work of dedicated volunteers who realize the value and
rewards of being independent. If you would like to volunteer, please call the Center at

well as at events throughout the year.
