The Winnfield High School Baseball Team ended up with a record of 8- 3 during the month of June, playing teams form Ruston High School, Jena, Caldwell, Grant, Bunkie, Oak Grove and St. Marys. June Summer Ball is mostly to tune up for next year’s season. The team will have 8 returning starters coming back form this past year’s district championship team, which landed them in the Regional State playoffs in 2018. This next year’s season looks very promising if the boys continue to be dedicated, work hard, play as a team and stay healthy.

Kiwanis President-Elect Steve Bates spoke to the Kiwanis club June 9th about the changes in the tax act. For individuals, the biggest change is in the deductions bracket, down 3% in each bracket. The top rate is 37% for joint filing with over $600,000 of taxable income. The standard deduction increase will keep a lot of people from itemizing because the standard deduction will be more. The standard deduction is $12,000 for single individuals and $24,000 for married. If you itemize, home mortgages are deductible up to $750,000 but no second homes. Charitable contributions are at 60 % of taxable income. There is no state income tax deduction. A concern is that people will no longer be giving to charities if they are not able to itemize.
