Approximately 6:30 am the vehicle was traveling eastbound on I-40 when she lost control of her vehicle and spun out and collided with a guardrail, at a bridge. Henry got out of the vehicle and apparently slipped on the roadway thereby plunging her over the guardrail and where she landed approximately 50-feet down. River Medical responded to the scene. Detectives determined Henry's death was due to the fall.
Police have released the name of a person killed in a single vehicle rollover accident on Christmas Day. The driver has been identified as Shalimar Deller, 28, of Bullhead City. It is unknown if alcohol or drugs were on board or not. According to reports, the vehicle rolled over in the vicinity of Bullhead Parkway and Highway 95.

SSI STOLEN?
Social Security -
Submitted by Loretta Pope
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month -- and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the federal government to "put away," you may be interested in the following:
Q: Which party took Social Security from an independent fund and put it in the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the Democratic-controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which party put a tax on Social Security?
A: The Democratic party.
Q: Which party increased the tax on Social Security?
A: The Democratic Party with Al Gore casting the deciding vote.
Q: Which party decided to give money to immigrants?
A: That's right, immigrants moved into this country and at 65 got SSI Social Security. The Democratic Party gave that to them although they never paid a dime into it.
Then, after doing all this, the Democrats turn around and tell you the Republicans want to take your Social Security. And the worst part about it is, people believe it!

EDITOR NEEDED
The editor of this paper AND The Civic needs an assistant. I need someone that I can train to possibly take over in the event something happens to me. Besides, this little paper is growing very fast and there is going to be room for expansion soon. It would be part time work, but you must be quite computer literate. There is no pay from the Civic Association, so the hours and pay are low, but great potential. If interested, call me at 768-1400 or email ys@goldenshores.net.
