Mustard Museum wanted for Crossville
Crossville has a claim to fame most residents don’t know. We make 23% of the mustard consumed in the United States. Right here in Crossville, TN.
Therefore, it only makes sense that The National Mustard Museum be located in Crossville, TN. Downtown Crossville, Inc. is asking for help in making this happen.
Currently located in Middleton, Wisconsin, The National Mustard Museum was the brainchild of attorney Barry Levenson.
Opened in 1979, the Museum is open 7 days a week and has a successful internet presence. Anyone who moved from Wisconsin is asked to reach out to family, friends and colleagues still located in Wisconsin.
If anyone has a connection to The National Mustard Museum or know Attorney Barry Levenson, please contact DCI at 931-787-1324.

Tax Meeting scheduled
Bob Willis, our local tax preparer, will present his traditional program on filing taxes on line at the Plateau PC Users Group meeting on Jan. 21 at 3 P.M.
The meeting, to be held at the 127 South Senior Center, begins with questions/answers. The Q/A session is followed by a short business meeting, with the main presentation beginning at 4 P.M.
The Plateau PC Users Group meets the third Monday of the month
Willis will explain “e-Filing” and demonstrate how to prepare both Federal and Tennessee Hall tax returns.
He will also give an overview of the recent tax changes for both 2012 and 2013.
The news has been full of the ”Fiscal Cliff” tax legislation with regard to future tax rates, but little has been said about the numerous retroactive “extenders” that could affect your 2012 federal income taxes.
Computer prepared income tax returns are much less likely to have errors that generate questions from the IRS.
With “e-File” you get an acknowledgement within hours which verifies that the IRS has received and accepted your tax return.
If a refund is due, you can receive it within 10 days. If you need to pay, that too can be done electronically and is not due until April 15. E-filing is secure and confidential; there is nothing to mail; it is all done electronically … and it could be FREE.
PPCUG is dedicated to helping its members and the community better enjoy the use of personal computers. Visitors are always welcome at our meetings and there is no charge for attendance.
For more information call Steve Rosenburg, president, at 931-742-0151 (9 A.M.-9 P.M., only please).
