She found there was more money to be made in bars and she owned and operated numerous bars for many years. Anna was a psychic and a fortune teller, using Tarot and Gypsy cards for readings. She was also into palmistry. She was a real character and she said what came to her mind and may have offended some people, but what she said, she truly believed. She will be sorely missed by members of the family she married into. She traveled the United States from coast to coast and spent many years in Alaska and Wyoming., She is survived by nieces and nephews and two sisters-in-law. Anna requested, as did her husband, hus-band, that she be cremated. Funeral director, Thomson's Vernal Mortuary.

Beware of sweepstakes scam Uintah County Sheriff Rick Hawkins wants to warn the public about a telephone scam that was reported this past weekend. Uintah County Sheriff's Deputy J.R. Oaks was contacted by a resident resi-dent of Randlett in reference to a telephone call that she received. The citizen reported that she received a telephone call from a subject in California who advised her that she had just won a 1999 Cadillac and that in order to deliver it to her, she had to wire one hundred dollars via western union for shipping charges. The caller went on to say that once the vehicle was delivered, they would reimburse the one hundred dollars to her. While doing additional addition-al follow-up on this, Deputy Oaks spoke to a Duchesne County deputy and was advised that a citizen in their jurisdiction had also been victimized. vic-timized. Uintah County Sheriff Rick Hawkins would like to make the citizens cit-izens of Uintah County aware of this scam and specifically remind citizens that "If you haven't entered any contests, you won't likely win something that you haven't entered." "Furthermore," state Sheriff Hawkins, "If this were a legitimate contest, it would appear if this company com-pany can afford to give away a brand new $50,000 car away, then they can surely afford to pay one hundred dollars to have it delivered. The old saying still holds true, 'If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.'" Sheriff Hawkins would also like citizens to contact the .Sheriff's office if they have received any of these calls. thank all those who si joai scnow Jvhn Hunpr; Y.'zym Spafford, J 224 E. 5:3 S. -Vernal i y 1 A " Careful thought goes into lighting and color schemes when choosing just the right ornaments to decorate a tree for charity.

Without hesitation, he replied, "Compound interest." Of course, you don't have to be a scientific genius to appreciate the "miracle" of compounding. The ability of money to grow over time has benefited anyone who has ever saved for a goal. Let's see how compounding works. Suppose you put $100 in an investment that earns a fixed 10 percent per-cent rate of interest. At the end of the first year, you wiH have $110. After two years, you will have $121. The extra dollar, which was earned on the $10 interest from the first year, is the compounded interest (This example shows interest compounded com-pounded annually; interest can also be compounded daily, quarterly or semiannually.) Earning compound interest is obviously a good thing, but it won't help you escape the tax man. In the above example, you would pay $3.71 in taxes on your $10 interest the first year, $7.79 on your $21 interest the second year, and so on, assuming you had a combined state and federal tax rate of 37. 1 percent If you withdrew this amount each year to pay taxes, you would be left with considerably fewer dollars to compound. What's the alternative? You might want to put the same amount of money in a tax-deferred investment, invest-ment, such as an annuity. With a tax-deferred tax-deferred vehicle, you pay no taxes on your earnings until withdrawal. By investing in an annuity or other tax-deferred product you can bene rAfFordablel k hiderly l The Next Best 7; Thing To Home! Private Rooms, with rVrl.

Last year the Trees for Charity raised about $3,000. "We would like to raise more than $3,000 this year," said Susan Bellew, Trees for Charity committee member. "Please help us make a difference dif-ference in the lives of those who need some care."

Second, you'll earn interest inter-est on your earnings. And third, you'll earn interest on money that would normally have been lost to taxes. Over time, the benefits of triple compounding can add up. Suppose, for example, that you invest $50,000 in an annuity that earns 8 percent each year. After 30 years, your initial ini-tial $50,000 investment will have , grown to $503,133. Conversely, if you had put the same $50,000 in an investment on which you paid taxes every year, your money would only have grown to $218,082 after 30 years, assuming an 8 percent annual rate of return and a combined state and federal tax rate of 37.1 percent. You will eventually have to pay taxes on your earnings when you start making withdrawals. However, by that time, you may be retired and in a lower tax bracket. Or you may be able to structure your annuity payouts in a way that will reduce your tax burden. Even if you took your annuity as a lump sum, you would end up with an after-tax amount of $335,020 after 30 years nearly $117,000 more than you would have accumulated on an investment that wasn't tax-deferred. Before you purchase any annuity, you will want to make sure the issuer, typically an insurance company, com-pany, has earned high ratings for safety and financial management. But once you choose a high-quality annuity, you'll be harnessing the power of compounding in triplicate. tripli-cate. .'
