I thought I would share Bass Lake water Sports’ most recent newsletter,
courtesy of Tom Tuso. It includes good information on Bass Lake for
homeowners and visitors alike:
Dear Homeowner,
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Chanukah and Happy New Year,
We sincerely hope your Holidays bring joy and happiness to you and your loved ones. Our thoughts and our prayers go out to those in need. Bass Lake Water Sports will continue to do its part to donate to those less fortunate. We are proud to be able to help The Manna House, Toys for Tots and several YHS projects this year and for years to come.
What an exciting year we have in front of us. Rain and snow is helping give us the confidence we need to expect a full lake for 2013 (well, that and a little help from PG&E). I will be surprised, based on the rainfall and expected rainfall, if we don’t see a full lake and a great year along with it. PG&E, along with the Department of Fish and Game are stocking more trout than I have ever seen from our ramp. They have stocked 5 thousand pounds of trout already, and I was informed more is on its way. These are not just catchable trout, but ‘trophy’ trout, 12”-16” and plenty of them. Fishing should be ‘off the hook’ this year, so bring the kids and the poles.
Bass Lake Water Sports is now part of the commercial properties in The Pines Village (Market, deli, banquets, weddings, bar, and the shops). We are excited about this merger, and look forward to bringing you new ways to enjoy your home and our ‘town’ in Bass Lake. As always, The Homeowners discount of 10% will continue in The Pines Market, and the 20% discount at Bass Lake Water Sports for any boat rental or store item, as well as the 20 cents off per gallon of gas at the Marina will continue. Our ‘club’ members enjoy additional discounts and use of our facilities (such as free showers, preferred parking, and freebies such as ice cream and t-shirts from time to time), so join the FREE club as soon as possible and get ‘stuff’ free! Look for additional discounts that will be offered to homeowners such as discounts on weddings or banquet facilities use, cover charges, lunch specials in our NEW deli restaurant, and discounts on the shops. We will also be opening a full scale SURF CLOTHING SHOP, with brands such as Volcom, Hurley, Reef, Sanuk and O’Neill just to name a few.
Happy Holidays and hope to see you soon,
The Tuso Family and Bass Lake Water Sports
Here is an informative update on the Debt Forgiveness and Tax Relief Extension issue, provided courtesy of Attorney Steve Beede of the BPE Law Group in Elk Grove, California, near Sacramento:
The negotiation is going fast and furious in Washington all focusing around the so-called fiscal cliff on December 31st. For well over a year, real estate owners have been focusing on two major issues: 1) will the Debt Forgiveness Tax Relief Act (“ACT”) get extended; and more recently, 2) with the Mortgage Interest Deduction (“MID”) disappear. At this point, there is no clarity.
All of the focus of Washington negotiators has been on whether the Bush era tax cuts should expire on 12/31. If so, it will mean an immediate tax increase for all. The Republicans are fighting this but recognize that more income is needed to balance the Budget. But tax increases alone cannot do it alone. Spending decreases are also required and the hot targets of these have been Medicare and Defense. Although very little is being said specifically about the ACT and the MID in the Obama – Boehner negotiations, both are very much in play.
When we spoke with the Office of Charles Rangle last week (Chair of House Banking and Finance Comm), he thought that an agreement might be reached before Christmas. That time is slipping away but a compromise is still a possibility. The House and Senate were supposed to go home on December 16th for their Holiday Recess and many have done just that. But they’re all ready to return and vote if a deal is reached. Although the negotiators appear far apart on the surface, in reality they are getting close…at least close enough to avoid some of the fiscal cliff’s immediate tax increases. So we all watch and wait.
Most analysts are now anticipating that a full deal including all the specifics will not be reached in 2012 but most likely would be reached by early to mid 2013. For the ACT, it is expected that it will get extended and that when it does, the extension will be retroactive to January 1st. For the MID, that may take much longer and would, if passed, be tied to income and other qualifiers. Nothing concerning either of these would affect your taxes for 2012. However, both of these will be of major importance to real estate owners and investors in 2013 and beyond.

The Madera County Board of Supervisors voted 5 to 0 to extend the reduced Madera County building fees for another year. For anyone who has held off building, now would be a great time to consider beginning their project. The reduced fee structure will be in effect retroactively from September 1, 2012 through September 1st, 2013.
