Elmon and Lois Knox Myers recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. The occasion was held among family and friends at “Special Events.” The Myers’s were married June 18, 1938. They have three children, Donald Myers (Ruth), Elinor Nelson (James), and Louis (i. Myers (Charlotte). Elmon and Lois are members of Trinity C.M.E. Church since it’s inception. Their love and commitment to each other and faith in God has been their source of strength through the years.

mathematical factor that eliminates the need for counties to reprogram - which was a concern to them but resolves the issue," said I lenkel.

The new bills will lx* printed in blue ink instead of the normal red ink and payment are due on July IS, and will carry a 10 percent pen<dty if paid after the due date. "With property taxes increasing the way that they are this year, there will be some people ineligible to pay on time. I don’t thinks it’s fair," Barnes said in a frustrated tone. Fight counties were directly affected by the sudden halt, six of which had already issued bills. “We will continue to consult with these counties to address any unique issues they raise," Henkel said. Payment due by July 18 Marion County’ property taxes will be due on July 18. Payments made after the due date will carry a 10 percent penalty. • Taxpayers who have received a tax bill in red ink and have no homestead exemptions (exemption 16 on the bill) on it, then your bill is correct. • Taxpayers who have received a bill with a homestead exemption on it should expect to receive a new bill printed in blue ink. • Taxpayers w’ho have not received a bill, should expect to receive a bill printed in blue ink.

Casinos to seek approval for 24-hour operations

KIDNEY

(AP) — All 10 of Indiana’s casinos are expected to seek permission to stay open 24 hours a day, a change lawmakers authorized in hopes of generating more tax revenue. “Our indications are that in one way or another, everyone will participate in 24-hour gaming, even if it will only be on certain weekends and certain holidays,” said Jennifer Arnold, spokeswoman for the Indiana Gaming Commission. “No one has indicated they won’t be domg it. Last week, Caesars Indiana in Harrison County filed a plan for 24-hour operations with the commission. The panel is expected to review the proposal and vote on it at a meeting July 11. Arnold would not say how many other casinos had filed requests. She said the commission would not release the submitted plans because they include information about security, surveillance and accounting, as well as other proprietary data. Casinos are now restricted to 21 hours of operation daily, although some are not open that

long, especially on weekdays. Arnold said the commission initially required casinos to close for at least three hours daily to remove money from slot machines and table games and handle accounting tasks. But in a move aimed largely at gaining additional casino tax revenue, the General Assembly voted last month to permit the boats to remain open 24 hours. Some casinos sought the change as a replacement for a legislative proposal to raise their taxes. The casinos estimated then that they could generate $10 million in additional cash annually for the state’s coffers.

If she receives a kidney transplant, she will have a chance at a semi-normal life because she will still have diabetes,” said Muldrow. “Dasia is so strong. She has been through a lot, but she is such a fighter." Next Thursday Dasia will have to visit the hospital for yet another surgery. She will have a feeding tube placed in her to provide nutrients to help her gain weight and allow her to take her medication. She is currently taking four-to-six medications aday, including Epogen for extreme anemia and calcium carbonate to help strengthen her bones. Although Dasia’s days are filled with hospital visits, dialysis, insulin shots and taking medications she enjoys playing with her 14-year-old sister, Brittany and her 11-year-old brother, Brendon. She also enjoys to color and says her favorite season is winter because she likes to watch the snow fall. Muldrow says Dasia misses school the most and wants to go back badly. “I’m talking with IPS and hopefully she will go back in the fall,” said Muldrow.
