When you sell most investments including tax free investments, you will receive a Form 1099-B and need to enter that information on Schedule D. To complete Schedule D and determine if you have a gain or loss you will also need to enter the date purchased and the amount paid for the stock.

That might sound simple enough, but what if you bought it through payroll deductions, or the stock split or you reinvested the dividends into more stock or your father gave

it to you on your 16th birthday? As-you-go record keeping can keep the tax return preparation moving smoothly.

You may have read recently that IRS is now requiring brokerage firms to provide the cost information when they prepare the tax forms for the sale. Yes, this is true, but . .

It starts with 2011 and is not required for investments made before this year. And if you are trading on your own you are required to keep the records.

Records to keep: • Simple purchase - Purchase confirmations • Payroll Deduction - End of year summary statements showing payroll deduction dollars and number of shares purchased each time.

• Dividend Reinvestment - End of year summary showing amount of dividends and number of shares purchased.

• Received as a gift – the giver needs to tell you how much he paid for it. Ask now, don’t wait until you sell it, the giver might not be able to tell you then.

• Inherited Stock – the number of shares and the Fair Market Value on the date of death.

Parks & Rec Safety Town 2011

Huron Parks and Recreation

What is Safety Town? This is one of the most important educational programs for young children who will be entering Kindergarten in the fall. This 2-week (MondayThursday, Monday-Thursday) program is a planned curriculum program incorporating classroom activities to familiarize children with the school setting. Safety Town allows children entering Kindergarten to learn safe ways to approach school and everyday situations. The children are taught the basics of fire, water, traffic, and playground safety, as well as poison control, bus behavior and seatbelt importance. Huron Parks and Recreation is fortunate to have help from The Huron Fire & Police Departments, Erie Metroparks, Erie County Environmental Services, Ohio State Highway Patrol, Sandusky Power Squadron/Coastie, and Huron City Schools, who help make this program so successful. In addition, we have outstanding Teachers and Safety Town Teen Counselors who create a wonderful, fun and creative environment for our participants. Last but certainly not least, Huron Parks and Recreation has been fortunate to have the support of many local business who help with sponsorship and/or donations toward our daily snacks/supplies. More on these great community partners to follow in future articles.

This year Safety Town will take place from June 13-23 (Mondays-Thursdays) at Shawnee Elementary School.

How do I become a Safety Town Counselor?

Safety Town Counselors are one of the most important parts in running a successful program. Each year we have between 40-50 counselors who donate their time daily.

The typical age of a Safety Town counselor is between 6th and 9th grades. We do have some older, experienced Safety Town counselors who are in 10th, 11th and 12th grade.

Safety Town Counselors must have completed 6th grade before Safety Town begins.

These counselors are vital in the day-to-day operations of Safety Town. Each counselor is assigned to a classroom or help on the blacktop outside.

More importantly, a Safety Town Counselor is responsible for bringing excitement and energy to the participants.

Many children in Safety Town are nervous the first day and it is the role of the counselor to make sure they feel comfortable. Most importantly, they make sure the kids are safe and have fun.

Safety Town is a great way to help your community and gain Community Service Hours toward your Diploma of Distinction. You must bring the required paperwork from your high school guidance counselor to the counselor meeting prior to the start of Safety Town. Forms will be completed after completion of Safety Town and you will be contacted to pick up these forms when ready.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in, you will need to complete and return a “New Counselor Application Packet” which can be found on our website or pick one up from the office. The deadline for submitting an application is Friday, April 1st, 2011.

A grassroots effort by EHOVE Board President EHOVE Career Center Board of Education President Dr. Paul Lockwood joined more than 800 school board and state school boards association leaders to ask Congress to support public school students as they consider the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) this year.

LOCKWOOD Dr. Lockwood took part in the National School Boards Association’s (NSBA) 38th annual Federal Relations Network Conference, held February 6-8 in Washington D.C. The Network is a national grassroots legislative effort that

urges members of Congress to make K-12 education a top priority.

Once Congress reauthorizes ESEA, local school boards will be responsible for implementing the federal policies, so it is important that school board leaders are involved in the legislative process.

School funding also remains a major concern for local districts. School board leaders are requesting that Congress help ensure that public education is adequately funded and discontinue the practice of passing education legislation without providing the necessary funding for local implementation. Some members of Congress are pushing for alternatives to local school governance. School board leaders strongly believe that schools are best governed by the communities they serve.

The game was somewhat of a coming out week on the floor of Fremont Ross high school. Huron fell in the first round of the State tournament to the 14-7 Woodmore Wildcats, 51-40.

The Tigers finish the season with four wins to seventeen losses.

The Wildcats took immediate charge of the game with an 8-2 run and held Huron to just 2 of 15 from the field in the opening quarter. At the end of the first eight minutes, the Tigers trailed 18-5. The two teams played evenly during the second period, 11-11, with senior Devon Koenig and sophomore Brittany Mayer leading the Tiger offense. The Huron press wasn’t able to create turnovers and the Tigers tried to make up for it by playing aggressively. This led to a disproportionate number of fouls against Huron, 103.

At the half, the Wildcats maintained their 13 point lead, 29-16.

In their final game against the already crowned SBC champion Edison Chargers, some wouldn’t blame the kids from Milan if they came out flat.

But those same people have to remember that Huron really had nothing to play for either, other than pride. Third place in the conference was locked up as was their state tourney seeding and opponents (Woodmore, then Margaretta).

This was a game that could be seen as a measuring stick for how far ‘the kids’ had come this year.

It was also a game to say goodbye to a senior, in Brian Bollenbacher (recently picked 1st team All-District), who had played his heart out all season. During the first half of the year, he seemed to carry the team on his shoulders. Now, it wasn’t all just him.

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the following classifieds.

Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer “employment” but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars.

800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.
