Gilson, PGK Holy Hours at St. Ursula 7:00 pm March 2, 2014 April 6, 2014 May 4, 2014 (Continued on page 4) Culture of Life Activities Page 2 I am afraid that our culture of life is increasingly under attack by federal programs. You know that the affordable care act (generally known as ACA, and lovingly known as Obama care" demands (the fancy word is mandates ) that taxpayers, employers and individuals, must pay for abortions abortion causing drugs, etc. as part of the healthcare provisions of the law. This is contrary to our culture of life. The Catholic Church is presently challenging this portion of the ACA and the question is expected to end up in the Supreme Court for a decision. And, possibly you do not know that the universities and their students are being denied federal education grants if they do not foster diversity by promoting programs which promote homosexuality, lesbianism, etc. And at the same time the colleges are, in several cases in Catholic and Christian (Continued on page 4)

I am afraid that this is only the beginning of attacks upon our Judeo-Christian religions. Take note of what is happening and follow your conscience and pray for our pope and our leaders so that truth will prevail.

Bateman - Fraternal Benefits Advisor Fraternal Benefits Retirement Planning Planning on retiring within the next 10 years? If so there are some things you should have on your to do list to make sure you can enter into retirement with all your bases covered. Most people focus solely on the amount of their nest egg and the retirement income streams they will have. Of course those 2 items are paramount but not taking care of these other items can ruin anyone s retirement in short order. 1. Make sure you have adequate life insurance on you and your spouse. You should have enough to payoff all debts, funeral expenses and provide a lump sum that can generate an income stream to replace any lost income caused by the death of a spouse. 2. Make sure both spouses have long term care insurance. Not having long term care insurance means you are willing and able to shoulder that risk with your own money and income streams. You may think the premiums are expensive but if you get into a situation where you need to pay for long term care expenses out of pocket you will terrible regret not have an LTC policy. 3. Make your nest egg safe. I understand that inflation can eat into a nest egg but failure to protect your retirement money means you are risking it all just to get a few extra points of return. If the market drops and takes years to recover what difference does inflation make anymore you are in a loss situation that will threaten your ability to stay retired. Call me I am your Council s Benefits Advisor and I do this type of planning. Page 5

In South Africa, Duane was honored to be a special guest lecturer at the Siegfried and Roy College Of Magic. In Mexico City he received the illusionist award. In Singapore he was honored as a star of magic. The pres gious Magic Circle, headquartered in London, England, has granted Duane the highest possible status. In 2008, they made him a member of the Inner Magic Circle With Gold Star. Among magicians, Duane is well known for his showmanship, stagecra, and crea vity. He has invented tricks, rou nes, and illusions that are used by performers around the world. A er touring for many years, Duane and Mary se led into Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, where they performed in the Magic Beyond Belief show. This extremely successful and long running show featured Grand Illusions and exo c animals. In 2011 the property surrounding, and including, the Magic Beyond Belief theater was purchased by a developer. This meant the Laflins had to find another place for their show. They developed a new Grand Magic Show and took it to South Dakota. Now they perform near Mount Rushmore, the Crazy Horse monument, and many other wonderful a rac ons. The beau ful Black Hills of South Dakota appears to be the perfect place for their Vegas quality yet always family friendly style of performance Among his long list of credits and honors, Duane was the interna onal president of the Fellowship Of Chris an Magicians from He and his wife, Mary, are strong in their faith. This is reflected in their posi ve, good clean fun, approach to family entertainment.
