Cauy Clark and the Cardinals have a big day on Sunday, October 4, 2009
SCHNEIDER Real Estate agent Robert Clark’s son Cauy, who has tuberous sclerosis complex, will help raise money for research and at cure at the Cardinals’ last regular season game. What better way to cap off a fantastic Cardinals baseball season and send the team on to the Central Division Championships than attending the very last game of the season and supporting a wonderful cause.
Sunday, October 4 is the last game and a very special day for Cauy Clark, who has tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a genetic disease that causes tumors to form in many different organs. Cauy’s dad is SCHNEIDER Real Estate Agent Robert Clark, the driving force behind finding a cure for this complex and helping not only his son, but also the approximate 50,000 Americans who have TSC.
The October 4 game will be the third annual A Cure for Cauy day at the ballpark. We urge you to snap up tickets for $25.00 each, which is a great discount, join the fun at Busch Stadium and help Cauy raise money for research. This special day is in association with the Cardinals and the goal is to sell more than 1,000 tickets, which are located in the reserved outfield terrace on the third base side. A TSC kid will throw out the first pitch when the ticket goal is reached.
Robert explains that people afflicted with TSC are at risk for tumors growing in vital organs such as the brain, heart, eyes, kidneys, skin, liver and lungs. Some people with TSC can experience autism, epilepsy and kidney and heart disease.
Cauy was diagnosed around the age of three, but Robert saw a special positive spirit and can-do attitude in his son, and with that hope decided to become actively involved in raising money for treatment and a cure.
Here are the game day details. Get a group together, help Cauy and thousands like him, and send the Cardinals off to the National League Central Division Championships.

New Bill Introduced to Amend the Tax Rebate for First Time Home Buyers
There is a new Bill - H.R.2801 or the Home Ownership Moves the Economy (HOME) Act of 2009 that was introduced by Rep. Howard Coble, Republican from North Carolina, on June 10, 2009. It is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Ways and Means.Basically, this Bill will amend the Internal Revenue Code to:
1. Extend the first-time home buyer tax credit to all individuals who purchase a principal residence. Currently, only first-time home buyers may qualify for the $8000 Tax credit. The definition of a first time home buyer under the current program states that you cannot have owned a primary residence in the past 3 years. This credit still only applies to those buying a primary residence
2. Extend such credit and the waiver of recapture requirements for such credit through December 31, 20103. Repeal the limitation on such credit based on modified adjusted gross income. The current guidelines read that as a single tax payer, your income cannot exceed $75,000 to receive the full tax credit. A reduced credit may be claimed up to the phase out income limit of $95,000. For married filing jointly, the income guidelines are $150,000 phasing out at $195,000. This would enable those individuals that earn higher incomes to also receive the tax credit.
This bill is still in its infancy and has a long way to go before it is passed. If you are a first time home buyer, I would advise you not wait to see if this bill will be passed. The current $8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers will expire on November 30, 2009. The home you purchase must have the transaction closed by this date. If you wait, you may find yourself in a position where there is no way the closing on your home can take place by then and you will lose out on the tax rebate.
