The “Look into Your Future” luncheon on Dec. 4 will feature guest speaker Russ Sullivan, attorney and vice president of Health Care Solutions for the Associated Industries of Massachusetts, who will present an interactive session that draws upon lessons from Massachusetts’ seven-year health care reform experience. Sullivan will provide insight into how to prepare for the changes ahead.

A Carson City man was arrested Nov. 5, 7 p.m. near Sherman Lane and Dori Way. He faces a gross misdemeanor charge of being an ex-felon carrying a concealed weapon and misdemeanor charges of failure to register as an ex-felon and not having a bicycle headlight.

According to the arrest report, a deputy patrolling the area stopped the man for not having a headlight on his bicycle. The arresting officer asked the man if he had any identification and the man responded he did not and provided a name and birth date.

Congress has special tax rules for ministers and clergy. Internal Revenue code section 107 provides “…gross income does not include, in the case of a minister of the gospel, the rental allowance paid to him as part of his compensation, to the extent used by him to rent or provide a home….”
