Year-End Tax Planning

by Carroll Miller, CPA
Traditional year-end tax planning involves finding ways to reduce current year taxes, pushing taxable income into future years. The theory being that the longer you keep your money, the better. I am not sure that traditional tax planning still exists. One needs to approach year end 2012 with caution and be flexible. Much depends on the folks in Washington, and it seems to me that there is a very good chance that tax rates will be higher in 2013 than they are in 2012. Tax deductions may, therefore, be more valuable in 2013. In 2012, there is a continuation of recent trend of making tax law changes close to the end of each year. This puts pressure on tax and financial planners when trying to figure out what is best for their clients. Tax law changes are but one of the considerations which have folks talking about the "fiscal cliff" that America is approaching in 2013. There are tax laws which will expire 01/01/13, automatic federal spending cuts which start in 2013, federal budget caps on many items, the need to change "alternative minimum tax", portions of the "healthcare" law become effective and estate taxes are due to change again. Many folks from different backgrounds believe that if Congress fails to address these coming changes, then we will be looking at continued economic problems. While these problems are complicated and serious, I believe that individual Americans and American business has the amazing ability to react and adjust to almost any situation. We just need more long term decisions and less short term reactions. From the income tax point of view, we need to be as flexible as possible and see what the year end brings.

Holiday Sugar Plums Danced in Their Heads

By Jo Johnson, The McNeill Company
The holidays are surely for children. It is a time filled with children dreaming of the things that make them happy. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukah, or Kwanza, it is the child that we believe should be celebrated with gifts more than any other time of the year. If you are looking for a local store so you do not have to travel to Wilmington or Myrtle Beach to shop the big chain stores to find something to please your child, we just might have what you are looking for in the way of really special plush toys, collectables, books and interactive games that are sure to please and intrigue kids of all ages. As the largest gift store in Brunswick County we believe that we should help adults by See Sugar Plum Visions on page 15

Couponing: Saving This Holiday Season

By Lisa Sokolowski
It's the holiday season or, better yet, impulse buying season. You can spend countless hours buying things that someone on your ever-growing list might want. And suddenly you need to take out a loan to pay your credit card bill. Where is the happy in that holiday? Don't do that this season. Focus a little more on your shopping , a little less on shiny objects at the register, and your wallet will thank you. To help, I have five simple tips help this season. Tip 1: Use Coupons When it comes to gifts, most people don't think they should save. Why not? The recipient doesn't know if you spent 80% or 100%. Sign up for email lists of your favorites stores, like Kohl's and Toys R Us, which email coupons regularly. But what if you forget your coupon? Bed, Bath and Beyond sends 20% off coupons in the mail almost weekly, but sometimes you leave the stack on your kitchen table. No worries. Next time you're there, just bring the coupon and your receipt and BB&B will refund the difference. Tip 2: Wait For Free Shipping Day December 17, 2012 is free shipping day. There are over 350 stores, including Barnes and Noble and Best Buy, which will waive shipping costs that day. Shipping adds up, so this is a great way to save. Tip 3: Get Rewarded Join an online cash back program, like eBates.com or ShopAtHome.com, to get a percentage back in your account. Old Navy, for example, offers 2% back via eBates. If you go through eBates and spend $50 on Old Navy's website, you will get $1 in your eBates account. That doesn't sound like much, but it adds up quickly. Tip 4: Prepare for next year Stores start selling Christmas items in August, so when December 26 hits, stores want them out the door. That's great for consumers because almost every store will clearance its holiday items to 50% off immediately after the holiday. If you don't mind getting seasonal items a little early, you can save quite a bit of money. Tip 5: Follow Drugstore Divas The frugal lifestyle blog Drugstore Divas (http://drugstoredivas.net) posts freebies, deals, and more. Free samples make great stocking stuffers, cheap makeup is a fantastic gift bag gift, and I'm always posting deals for big ticket items. I recently found a deal to get a brand new Keurig brewer, which retails for $124.99, for $31 shipped. Stick with me and you'll be saving - and saving yourself from a headache this season. Lisa Sokolowski is the founder of the Brunswick County-based frugal lifestyle blog Drugstore Divas (http://drugstoredivas.net). She posts ways for you to get free groceries, free gifts, and more. Think of her as your little elf this holiday season.

Operation Medicine Drop Collects 8.5 Million Pills in NC

Local Law Enforcement Held 150+ Events Across NC to Fight Prescription Drug Abuse
Raleigh: North Carolinians turned in approximately 8.5 million doses of old prescription and over-the-counter drugs during Operation Medicine Drop events on September 29, Attorney General Roy Cooper announced today. That beats the previous record of approximately 7.7 million doses collected during a week of drug take back events held in March. "North Carolinians cleaned out their medicine cabinets and turned in more unused drugs than ever before, keeping potentially dangerous drugs from being misused or abused," Cooper said. Operation Medicine Drop helps cut down on prescription drug abuse and environmental damage by encouraging people to properly dispose of old drugs that are no longer needed. Cooper, the State Bureau of Investigation, local law enforcement agencies, Safe Kids North Carolina, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration sponsored more than 150 prescription drug take-back events in 60 by 98 agencies across North Carolina on or around September 29. The Brunswick County Sheriff's Office led the collections with just over one million dosage units of prescription and over-the-counter drugs. The Union County Sheriff's Office collected approximately 500,000 dosage units, and Greensboro Police Department collected approximately 475,000. demic." Nationwide, fatal drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death due to unintentional injury, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Prescription and over-thecounter medications cause more than three-fourths of all unintentional poisonings in North Carolina, according to the N.C. Division of Public Health, and approximately 1,000 people died in North Carolina last year from overdosing on prescription drugs. The intentional abuse of prescription pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants and sedatives to get high is a growing concern, particularly among teens. Among people ages 12-17, prescription drugs are now the second most abused drug, behind marijuana. Safely disposing of old medications through Operation Medicine Drop events instead of flushing them down the drain also helps the environment, by preventing chemicals from ending up in the water supply. The SBI gathered the drugs collected by local law enforcement and delivered them to a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved incinerator in Alamance County for safe destruction. Thanks to the North Carolina Highway Patrol for assisting in transporting the drugs.

"More and more young people are abusing prescription drugs, and most of them get the drugs from their own home or a friend's home," Cooper said. "By getting unused drugs out of our homes, we can help fight this epi-

Wine & Food Pairings For Your Holiday Meals

By Candace Hobbs, Owner, The Grape & Ale, Oak Island, NC
It is very easy to take the stress out of planning what wines to serve with what dishes when preparing your holiday dinners. Come on people, it isn't rocket science -- you drink what you likesee how simple that is? There are those of us type A's including yours truly who is always on a quest to find that perfect wine to pair with my perfect d i s h e s . You might subscribe to the old tried and true methodalways red with red meat/white with white meat. That's fairly safe, but what about pork? And what about the spicy beef Thai dish that tastes so yummy with a coconut flavored sake or a semisweet Gewurztraminer? That rule has just flown out the window. Then, there's this guy who wrote an article for one of the wine mags that I read who had devised a method of pairing wine and food by breaking down the chemical components of each to determine the perfect wine and food synergy. REALLY? Give me a break. Let's simplify. You know how you like to add parmesan cheese sprinkled over some of your Italian sauces, or living in the South, sprinkling your collard greens with pepper vinegar, just because that small Facebook: Sister Publications, Inc. addition of different flavors complements the food so much? The same principle applies to matching varietals of wine with your dishes. A good guideline to remember is the more flavorful the dish, the more flavorful the wine should be. There are two wine styles that pair with anything and everything Rose a n d Champagne or a Dry Sparkling w i n e . Sparklers are great for a p p et i z e r s and they set the mood for the rest of the meal. Another tip is to stick with wines that are user friendly, meaning they will easily satisfy those diehard "I only drink red or I only drink white" drinkers who aren't willing to experiment. White wines include Pinot Grigio, Fume Blanc, Macon-Villages, or a dry Riesling. Red wines that fit this description are Chianti Classico, Rioja Crianzas, Beaujolais-Villages, Cotes du Rhone, Pinot Noir, or Merlot. Would you like some suggestions or taste the possibilities? Stop by The Grape & Ale on Friday, November 16 for our annual Thanksgiving Food & Wine Pairing Event starting at 5:00 p.m.

Hunting season with guns is just about here and a lot of Brunswick County citizens will take to the woods. Gun safety is very important and it cannot be stressed enough when handling firearms, especially when you are around others. Please make this year's hunting season the safest and most enjoyable. PRIMARY RULES FOR GUN SAFETY sAlways point muzzle in a safe direction, preferably up or at the ground sAlways give the firearm the respect due a loaded gun sAlways know what your target is and what is in front and behind it sNever put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot Also remember; sLet someone know exactly where you are hunting, and what time you expect to come out of the woods. If you have a cell phone, keep it on you. sKnow who else is hunting in the area around you, if possible. There are hunter safety courses available throughout the state, and some very close to this area. Contact the Wildlife Enforcement office at (919)-707-0031 or the hunter education specialist for your area district 4. www.wildlife.org

THE LINE ON FISH

By Jon Haag, Haag & Sons Seafood
As the seasons transition from the warmth of summer to a little bit of an autumn chill, the inshore fish make a massive migration out of the estuaries and into the ocean. The food chain moves out of the shallows for deeper and warmer waters.Some of the more cold tolerant species remain behind, such as Speckled Trout and a few Red and Black Drum; all good eating. Great weather conditions make it an ideal time for smoking fish also. Speckled trout, mullet, king mackerel, greater jacks and salmon are all great choices

.As it cools off, the smell of the sweet and salty marsh air brings me to thoughts of oyster stew, clam chowder, gumbo, jambalaya, and low country boils to warm the weary bones.
