CALLING ALL
BLOOD DONORS!
The next blood drive is

October 27th at the Humboldt Bible Church on Old
Black Canyon Hwy.
Donors at the last two
drives have fallen off some
so I really need people who
can give. You really do save
lives with your
donations. If you
make an appointment it doesn't
take much time.
You can give 4
times a year.
How else can
you help so many people
with so little time and money
invested?
To top it off we have
some great local bakers who
make the treats for the donors. Please donate!
If you can't make an
appointment you can walk in,
but be aware appointments
go first so you may have to
wait a short time.
Support this community.
Give blood at our drive. Call
me for an appointment: Mary
Franks 928 642 2115 or 237
6596. You can also email
mary2arett@bullerineworks.n
et or go to blood heroes and
sign up for the D-H blood
drive on Oct. 27.

as a child, as a young adult, and
then later in life? Do they think they
have learned anything about themselves, and especially about their
place under the Sun? Has their position about religion changed - for the
better or for the worse? What do they
think about the Soul, and is there
anything real about Infinite Intelligence? Is science becoming more

religious, or is religion becoming
more scientific? John Carter will moderate the group with a focus on engaging in short dialogs between individuals while they examine their beliefs openly. The IONS meetings are
open to everyone with all points of
view.

Dodge Copper.
These women
held the line,
picketing the
mines as the
unionized men
were barred
from picketing. The book recounts

even with the dangerous presented
by the mining company and with the
National Guard occupying the mining
towns. Come in to the library to pick

A NOTE FROM THE MAYOR
Evading state taxes is not only a serious crime; it hurts everyone in Arizona. Taxes are used to fund government programs such
as education and public safety. When people evade taxes, these
programs do not get the support they need.
The Department of Revenue is offering a Tax Recovery Program that provides a limited-time opportunity for taxpayers to come

into compliance.
The goal of the Tax Recovery Program is to offer relief to those taxpayers who,
for whatever reason, underreported or failed to file returns and pay their taxes. Tax
Recovery Applications must be received by the Department between September 1
and November 2, with all tax liability paid with the application. Taxpayers who meet
all the requirements will pay no interest and have no civil penalties imposed.
Now is your chance to avoid harsh penalties, criminal sanctions and higher interest. Visit www.azdor.gov/TaxRecovery.aspx to download forms and read the latest on the program. You may also call the Arizona Department of Revenue at 1-844698-9176 to get further details.
