Keen Observation and Instincts Vital
SGT Charles Stapleton leads the
session. (above) Drug identification was also discussed with
simulated samples.
Kids Central Inc's family advocates hosted a Home Visitor Safety Training session last week at our Esserville administration office. The workshop was designed for employees who visit the homes of the people they serve. The session was led by SGT Charles Stapleton of the Wise County Sheriff's Office. The training detailed safety awareness strategies in dealing with environments we are not accustomed to, such as dogs, or any unexpected happenings and/or situations. He stressed that keen observation techniques and instincts are vital in maintaining a safe working environment. Also on hand were staff from neighboring Head Start agencies. People Incorporated, Scott County, and Lee County Head Start along with representatives from Wise County Department of Social Services.   Kids Central Hosts Home Visitor Safety Training

Pad your paycheck with an

The idea here is to increase the number of exemptions you take while avoiding underpaying. To nail the number, use the IRS' withholding calculator For more information got to the full article at Yahoo.com
What's wrong with getting a refund?
I know it's hard to beat the thrill of a windfall, but consider what you're passing up by giving Uncle Sam an interest-free loan for roughly six months (on average). If the IRS were paying out measly checking-account rates of around 0.5%, you'd be able to pick up the tab for a few espressos -- or $6. Even if you could earn 2% from a high-yield savings account , it'd amount to just $24.  Fiscal Fitness: Give Yourself A Raise
Do you like lending money to the IRS? The answer is yes
for three-quarters of taxpayers.
Every year, about 75% of us overpay our taxes. By quite a lot. In fact, the average tax refund last year was around $2,400, which amounts to $200 a month lining Uncle Sam's pockets until he pays it back to you ... without interest. If you hit the refund jackpot last April (or already know that you're getting a refund this year), then it's time to give yourself a raise, starting with your next paycheck.
