Taxes The Unemployed Aren’t Immune to Taxes FROM DEE HARTLEY, SENIOR TAX ADVISOR AT H & R BLOCK We are all aware that there are a lot of unemployed people out there. As of the late afternoon Jan. 16, we are still not able to access the 1099 for Ohio unemployment. I sincerely hope that we can do that by the time you are reading this. If you received unemployment in 2009, you will need that 1099 form before you file your tax return.

Many Americans believe their unemployment income is tax-free, similar to worker’s compensation. But unemployment benefits are taxable income. To prevent a large lumpsum tax bill later, job-seekers should set aside a portion of their unemployment check now or have it automatically

withheld. Talk to your tax professional to determine if this will be beneficial to you.

The 2009 Recovery Act exempts the first $2,400 of unemployment benefits earned in 2009 from federal taxes. This is for 2009 only; it doesn’t start over in 2010. However, anything over that amount is taxable. Also, the Recovery Act added an extra $25 per week to unemployment checks and provided a 65 percent COBRA subsidy for those who qualify.

Keeping track of job-search expenses also can help the unemployed reduce their tax liability. Taxpayers must itemize as part of miscellaneous deductions to claim job search expenses. Qualified expenses may include: • Resume development; • Professional placement services; • Mileage for driving to job interviews or other unreimbursed travel such as airfare.

Church Chat Huron Methodists Donate To Haiti Relief The United Methodist Church of Huron, 338 Williams St., contributed $1,235 to relief aid to Haiti during their 8 and 10 a.m. Sunday services on Jan. 17. The congregation was especially moved when pastor Roger Skelley-Watts reported that the worldwide head of United Methodist relief services (UMCOR – United Methodist Committee on Relief) perished under the collapsed Hotel Montana before rescue workers could reach him.

The Rev. Sam Dixon was meeting with the head of United Methodist mission volunteers Rev. Clint Rabb and consultant Rev. James Gulley, making plans to improve medical

services in Haiti. It was later reported on Sunday afternoon that Rev. Rabb also died of his injuries in a Florida hospital.

UMCOR is one of the most respected relief agencies in the world, usually the first to arrive and the last to leave stricken areas. Because all administrative expenses are covered by congregational gifts during the annual “One Great Hour of Sharing,� 100 percent of any designated donations arrive at their intended project through secure channels.

Contributions may be made out to any United Methodist church and labeled “Haiti�. “Please keep the Dixon and Rabb families in prayer, and

the Rev. Gulley who survives, as well as their dedicated staffs who must now attend to this tragedy without their leadership.� Rev. Skelley-Watts requested.

East Ohio Conference Resident Bishop John L. Hopkins issued a statement which reads in part: “My heart aches for the people of Haiti and I know yours does, too ‌ Our prayers and financial support are needed to help our brothers and sisters of Haiti begin to recover from this tragedy.â€? The East Ohio Conference of the United Methodist Church has been sending mission trips to Haiti for at least 35 years.

Rev. Roger’s Reflections Nettie liked to listen to her father read from the Bible. This was her favorite time of day, when her family gathered around for worship. It was so peaceful and loving. She thought to herself, “God is in this room. A gentle and loving God. Not the angry, punishing God the preacher screams about in church. If people knew how much God loves them they would not be so afraid to live, or die.�

Antoinette “Nettie� Brown longed to share this peace with everyone she knew. She played “church� in the barn with her brothers and other neighborhood children sitting on the hay bale pews. Nettie always led these services, although she had never seen a woman minister. None had been ordained in the 1820s.

At 15, Antoinette completed her public school education and became a teacher. She heard of this forward-thinking college in Ohio named Oberlin, which admitted AfricanAmericans, women, and had a theological school. She saved every penny, and made the 10-day steam ship trip from New York to Ohio in 1846. Perhaps the boat was built in Huron, or landed nearby.

She threw herself into her studies: fighting against slavery, for temperance and for a woman’s right to vote, alongside activist Lucy Stone. Every minister she met, faculty and their wives, plus the trustees fought her every step, but had to bow to a non-discriminatory clause in the college constitution.

Nettie went to class and worked as a housekeeper by day, and translated the works of the apostle Paul by night from the original Greek which caught the eye of the college president who published her research in the “Oberlin Quarterly.� Her application to preach was denied and she got no diploma.

But Lucy Stone invited her to speak before a national women’s rights convention. Standing before the large assembly, her lips trembling with fear, she read from Paul’s letter to the Galatians: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.�

She finished to a standing ovation, was invited to make a speaking tour, and in 1853 was ordained by the Congregational Church of New York – the first woman in America.

She was 31 years old by then, rattling around a big lonely

Keep your fitness resolutions strong through the new year Some of the most popular resolutions with each new year are to get fit, get in shape and lose weight. Though plenty of people jump into new programs in pursuit of those goals, many aren’t able stay fit, in shape and keep the weight off.

The rich foods and drinks of the holiday season leave us all feeling a little bit uncomfortable, which is another factor that sends people to gyms and to stores in search of workout videos. After that point, though, a plethora of complications can arise and sabotage those good intentions. It’s hard to get motivated, going to the gym takes time many people don’t have, workout DVDs don’t meet individual needs, it can be intimidating to go to a public gym and on and on. And when these issues start piling up, people stop seeing results, which is enough for them to give up entirely.

Avoiding those pitfalls might seem impossible, but there

are some solutions that can really help you follow through on your resolution and make it last all year long. If you can stick with your fitness goals this year, it’ll be a resolution that you won’t have to come back to next year. * Head to the Web You already shop, connect with friends and keep up on the events of the world on the Internet, and now it’s an ideal tool for getting in shape. There is quite a lot of information to wade through, and some sites stand apart for being well-designed and truly effective. The free exercise Web site Wexer.com (Wexer is short for “World of Exercise”) is a resource for a wide variety of specialized exercise videos.

A unique option is that you can customize what videos are recommended for you by filling out a self-assessment that takes into account your current physical condition, your exercise experience, goals and other factors. * Don’t waste time - or money With work, kids, friends and family, our days are already full. Taking the time to go to a gym can be a real strain on your schedule, adding in transit time, waiting for machines, locker room time, and then the drive back home - not to mention the time you actually need for your workout.

You can cut out much of that time wastage by working out from the convenience of your own home.

Don’t get muddled in workouts that aren’t right for you, though. Buying DVDs to use at home is a minefield, and an expensive one at that. How many times have you spent $20 on a DVD only to find that the exercises aren’t right for you? Free exercise programs on Web sites like Wexer.com will help you focus on your specific needs, goals and abilities - and you can even choose the duration of the workouts, so you’ll stay on schedule. * Social support One of the characteristics of most failed plans to get fit is a lack of motivation. With no one to back you up, it’s easy to let things slide - to the point where you’re not even working out anymore.

We’re all more connected more than ever these days, and that can easily translate to a support system for your workout goals. Wexer.com brings in social media functions, like synching with Facebook, Twitter and Webbased e-mail programs, as well as the ability to connect with other people who are using the site to get fit. You can challenge friends, family or colleagues and help keep each other on track, or if you’re going it alone, you’ll get follow up e-mails and alerts that correspond to your fitness, weight loss or exercise frequency goals.

If you can take control of your workout goals by making them fit your schedule and finding good support, your goal to get fit and stay fit throughout the year is more attainable than ever.

At last - a livable diet program worth keeping For the first time in its history, Mayo Clinic has developed and published a diet. Recommending simple lifestyle changes and requiring no special foods, calculators, or food scales, “The Mayo Clinic Diet” is based on a common-sense approach to losing weight and keeping it off.

“Many patients I see have tried several diets in an attempt to lose weight, yet the weight keeps coming back,” says Dr. Donald Hensrud, a Mayo Clinic specialist in preventive and internal medicine, and medical editor-in-chief of the book. “The key to weight loss is to eat well and exercise regularly. Our goal with this book is to give people real tools for doing that.”

Dietary advice in the book includes five habits to add to your lifestyle, such as eating unlimited servings of fruits and vegetables each day; five habits to break, like revising the kinds of snacks you eat; and “bonus” habits to adopt such as keeping a journal of everything you eat.

Mayo Clinic also advocates a pyramid that differs from the USDA food pyramid. The Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight pyramid focuses on vegetables and fruits as the basis of a

The lean protein that can help you fulfill forgotten resolutions to eat better The new year is well under way - do you remember your resolution to get healthy in 2010? Are you making progress toward that goal? Or has the resolution drifted away as the calendar pages turned? It’s not too late to get a fresh start at keeping that promise to yourself.

It’s never too late to make healthful changes like exercising more, getting better sleep and managing stress. But without improving your diet as well, any resolution to improve your health will fall short of success.

One easy and flavorful way to improve your diet is to replace higher fat meats with leaner proteins such as turkey. “Ground turkey is especially versatile, and, with a few simple tweaks, can replace higher fat ground beef in virtually any recipe,” notes Devin Alexander, host of Discovery Health’s program “Healthy Decadence with Devin Alexan-

Start The

der,” and author of “The Biggest Loser Cookbook.” “The meaty texture of ground turkey can supplement with beef to create fulfilling, full flavor dishes,” she adds.

Advantages of cooking with ground turkey include: * Turkey is naturally leaner than beef while still packing in the protein. * The delicate flavor of turkey will not overpower any dish you use it in. * Turkey can be a more satisfying alternative than non-meat protein substitutes like tofu. * In many cases, turkey products cost less than other proteins.

HURON HOMETOWN NEWS | Thursday, January 21, 2010

Sports Clyde Out-flies Tigers, 59-53 Last week, the Clyde Flyers came to Huron looking – as were the Tigers – to position themselves second in the SBC. The two teams battled evenly for three quarters, but in the final quarter, Clyde found more offense while Huron still searched for someone who can make big shots consistently at the end of tight games.

During the first quarter, both teams jostled back and forth trying to establish offense against a solid defensive effort by both sides. An Eric Volz three-pointer with five seconds left, gave Huron a 12 -11 lead. Clyde opened the second period reclaiming the lead with two made free throws – unusual because the visiting Flyers would struggle from the charity stripe much of the game. Until late in the fourth period, they would be eight for 20 from the line.

But that would change.

Halfway through the second period, senior Eric Volz would knock down a mid-range jumper to give his team a 22-18 lead. Huron looked poised to make the game’s first real run. Instead, it would be the last field goal they would

on a 7-1 run, establish a rebounding presence, and take a 25-23 lead in the intermission.

Tiger center, Steve Bowers, would re-establish Huron scoring from the floor with two straight buckets to allow the home team to close within one, 27-28. But it was a low scoring, frustrating third period where tempers began to flare a bit on both sides. Defensive intensity picked up while scoring from the field waned. Huron would stay close throughout. During the closing seconds, Tiger point guard Brian Bollenbacher converted on a steal with a layup. The third quarter ended in a tie, 34 a piece.

The crowd was poised for a tight final period. Instead, what they received was a quick strike of back to back threes by the Clyde Flyers that gave the visitors a six-point lead, 40-34. Both teams increased the defensive intensity again.

Early in the period, the Flyers went to the line often, but rarely could convert. With three minutes left, Huron forward Derek Dowell fouled out with Huron still trailing by four points. Bollenbacher hit a field goal and then a free throw to close the game within one, 45-44 with 2:05 left. Following that, with Clyde now in the double bonus, the visitors did something they had failed to do most of the night. They made free throws – a total of 12 in the last minute and a half, to be exact. With 1:24 left, Huron trailed by just one point, 47-46. By the end of regulation, they had lost by six, 59-53.

Again, the Tigers couldn’t convert a three when they needed it most. Center Brandon Poorman, replacing the fouled out Steve Bowers, scored five of Huron’s last six Senior center Steve Bowers (22) sends up a short points. Eric Volz led the Tigers with 15 points, while Brian jumper and a score for Huron.

Bollenbacher chipped in with 12 total. Huron is now 6-5 make during the first half. Clyde would close the period overall and 5-3 in the Sandusky Bay Conference.

ond quarter, Perkins got a clean look at a three-pointer and took the largest lead of the first half, 11-5. Huron was really the only team hitting free throws during the foul-laden period. They would hit six during the last five minutes of the second quarter. That, combined with a nice inside move and bucket by Lauren Volz, allowed the Tigers to go into halftime unexpectedly tied at 13 apiece.

Perkins came out of the break more aggressively on offense. They opened with a quick 5-0 run that forced Huron to take a timeout. The Tigers were again able to slow the action down, but continued to have trouble converting their own offensive opportunities. However, during the last minute and a half, Devon Koenig, combined with Volz, had six of the quarter’s final nine points. Huron trailed by just three, 24-21.

The fourth period started with the teams exchanging baskets. Then Perkins went on the run they had struggled for all night. The Pirates’ defense held the Tigers scoreless for four and a half minutes while the Perkins’ offense hit eight unanswered points to take a 34-23 lead. Volz ended the Tiger drought with a basket at the 3:08 mark. Over the last two minutes of the game, Lauren Volz would hit two three pointers to close Lauren Volz (24) led the all Tiger scor- the gap to 36-31, but Pirate free throws ers with 19 points. finished off the pesky Tigers once and for all.

Volz, again, led the way with 19 points and four rebounds, Huron’s only two baskets of the first quarter as Perkins while playing more time then usual inside on offense.

Devon Koenig also played well overall with five rebounds, led 7-4.

With 5:25 left in the sec- four points and three steals.

What would be said of someone that predicted that the Lady Tigers (with one win), would go into the undefeated Perkins home gym with Huron’s best ball handler still out sick, and that the game would be tied 13-13 at halftime? That person would have been dismissed as knowing nothing about the state of basketball in the SBC, but that is exactly what happened on the Pirate floor last Friday night.

The game plan of Huron coach Ty Ray was evident early. His team was going to slow down the tempo of the contest by spreading out the offense and play very aggressive defense on the other end.

Perkins, at first, seemed content to sit in their zone defense, but eventually had come out to force the action. The game was very sloppy, with a multitude of turnovers and missed shots by both sides. Lauren Volz and Melissa Moberg would have
