Help for Kids who Stutter!


K ids who stutter have a lot to say, and friends can show them how in Stuttering: For Kids
By Kids, a DVD in English and Spanish starring kids who stutter, available at most public
libraries or through interlibrary loan.
Many children who stutter have never met others who struggle with the same disability.
In this DVD from the Stuttering Foundation, they meet kids who recount how they handle chal-
lenges such as teasing, speaking out in class, and teaching others about stuttering.
Swish, a lively and engaging animated basketball character designed by students at Purdue
University, narrates the DVD. The children, who range in age from first-graders to high school
students, offer frank and sometimes differing views of stuttering.
“All those interested in helping kids learn more about stuttering will want to see this tape,”
said speech-language pathologist Bill Murphy of Purdue University. “The children featured are
a perfect example of how to openly and honestly handle stuttering.” “This is an important tool
for families and teachers of kids who stutter,” added Jane Fraser, president of the nonprofit
Stuttering Foundation.

Why Do We Give Valentine Cards?


V alentine’s Day, also called St.
Valentine’s Day, holiday (February
14) when lovers express their affection
with greetings and gifts. The holiday has
origins in the Roman festival of Luper-

The festival, which celebrated the
coming of spring, included fertility rites
and the pairing off of women with men
by lottery. At the end of the 5th century,
Pope Gelasius I replaced Lupercalia with
St. Valentine’s Day. It came to be cele-

tate lawmakers took steps on two bills on Thursday, February 13, 2020 that could
S bring protections for companies that insure cannabis-related companies in the Gar-
den State and also allow those on workers’ compensation to have their medical weed
covered. The state Assembly committee on financial institutions advanced the two bills,
but the state Senate has yet to take up either.
The first (A377) protects insurance companies and their employees from retalia-
tion by state or local government if they engage with marijuana-related businesses.
The bill cleared committee 11-1 with one abstention. The bill would not require insur-
ance companies to take on cannabis-related clients.
“As we move forward addressing marijuana as a medicine and holding up indus-
tries, we have to put in place, first protections for our residents, but also protections
for professional businesses that participate in the industry,” said Assemblyman Joe
Danielsen, D-Somerset, who sponsored the bill.
Marijuana remains a federally illegal schedule 1 drug, even though states like
New Jersey have legalized it for medical use. The contradicting federal and state laws
have left banks and insurers wary of doing business with any pot-associated company.
The Secure and Fair Enforcement, (SAFE) Banking Act passed the U.S. House in
the fall, but has stalled in the Senate. It includes a provision sought by U.S. Sen. Robert
Menendez, D-N.J., that would allow companies to seek insurance.
If passed, the proposed state law would not supersede federal regulations, meaning
insurers could see federal actions against them. But federal officials have largely left
state medical and legalized marijuana programs around the country untouched.

How to Pay Taxes?
I n order to determine how much income tax you owe, you will first need
to prepare your tax return. You have until April 15th to file and pay your
individual income tax. If you miss the deadline, you will be charged penal-
ties and interest. The IRS gives you several options for paying your taxes. To pay
your tax liability in full right away, use one of these three methods:
1. Pay by Check or Money Order: If 5. Offer to Settle: If it will cause

amount owed on your income tax return.
3. Pay with Cash: If you want to pay
your taxes in cash, the IRS provides a
way for you to do this at participating re-
tail stores. The program is called “PayN-
earMe” and there’s a $3.99 fee per cash
payment. Note that it usually takes 5-7
business days to process cash payments,
so make sure you know the applicable tax
