E-mail Print PDF
The new tax law passed by Congress in December 2017 aims to lower taxes for everyone, but proponents cite its overwhelming benefits to businesses. Under the new law, companies — including sole proprietors and workers in the gig economy — can deduct 20 percent of their revenue from taxable income.

Madame G guide to the stars WEEK OF MARCH 9

E-mail Print PDF
The Last Quarter Moon occurs on Friday, March 9. Consider this an excellent time for rest and reflection. You may notice some residual energy from the Full Moon, but this will only cause anxiety. Look towards your future while focusing on the path in front of you. Put one foot in front of the other and keep walking. Madame G wishes you a fair evening with a little mischief.

 

Aries (March 21-April 19)

What’s that whisper on the wind? You may feel a hint of fear at the opportunity about to come. Instead of wallowing in the unknown and blindly fighting your way through a paper bag, take a deep breath. You can’t always win by strength alone. Instead take a moment to consider the...

Don’t let the quiet fool you. Instead be the wary wise man. Take a few deep breaths and meditate. Use the quiet of this week to rest and reflect. There’s nothing like a little nap to refresh your mind, body, and soul. Madame G recommends that you consider the needs of your body, and listen. What’s yours saying?

E-mail Print PDF
When we go to the hospital we do so because we need supportive healthcare, but we also need reliable and credible information, feel a sense of being cared for, and if it’s not too much to ask, an examination to help us thoroughly understand our present condition. Now let’s be clear there are excellent stewards of your health in hospitals across the country, but unfortunately there are an equal number of healthcare professionals entirely focused on meeting patient quotas, writing prescriptions and getting you out the door as quickly as possible regardless of the questions you have unanswered.

Recently a dear friend and client shared with me a frustrating experience she had at one of...

Threats to GMCS

E-mail Print PDF
Feb. 23, 2018

McKinley County Community Members,

Across the United States school districts are dealing with an increase in shooting threats toward their schools since the Parkland High School tragedy. Unfortunately, GMCS has not been excluded from these threats.

We take all threats seriously no matter how the threatening information comes to us. When a shooting or bomb threat is made we immediately call law enforcement and follow their lead on the investigation. If a student is found to be the perpetrator involved in the threat we will remove that student from our school and use the extant of the law to deter their reentrance. In addition, if an adult is found to be the perpetrator...
