to work with L & N, our management company, to recruit and hire our next GM. Ads were run in area newspapers and online through Careerbuilder.com. Over 200 applicants responded to the ads. L&N filtered the group of qualified ap-plicants to 10 and interviewed them with their executive com-mittee. Then L&N submitted the best five applicants for the position for interviews by The Parke search committee. The search committee interviewed all five qualified applicants and recommended their best choice. The entire process took ap-proximately one month from Bridget’s date of resignation. On Monday, December 21st, the full Board met and ap-proved the first choice of the search committee. Abby Elliott’s previous property and supervisory management experience along with her nearly 10 months of demonstrated skills and abilities here at The Parke made her the logical choice. She was also L&N’s first choice. Abby was offered the job and she accepted on that day. Effective January 1, 2010, Abby Elliott assumed the po-sition of General Manager. Abby has been employed as the Clubhouse Coordinator since February 2009. She is a gradu-ate of Stephen Decatur High School and the University of

The Parke Selects a New General Manager From your Board of Directors
The Parke bid farewell to Bridget Ketcham on December 30th. She served The Parke as the Legum and Norman (L&N) property manager for 21⁄2 years, dividing her time among sev-eral other properties and working out of the Ocean City office. In September 2006, she became fully dedicated to The Parke when she was hired as The Parke’s first onsite General Man-ager working directly from the Clubhouse. Bridget was honored at several functions during Decem-ber including a large gathering of residents, vendors, and contractors on December 16th. At that gathering she received a beautiful glass plaque from Parke HOA President Mike Ste-venson as a remembrance of her years at The Parke. Mike was quoted as stating “Mrs. Ketcham was on top of every issue and established sound working relationships with the Ocean Pines Association and regulatory departments at the county and state levels. She will be missed and is wished much success in her new entrepreneurial endeavor with Delmarva Document Solutions.” Bridget will be joining several family members in this business. While we wish Bridget well in her new endeavor, the challenge of replacing her was daunting. In a special board meeting on November 23rd, the Board reviewed the alterna-tives: 1) recruit and hire a full-time, onsite general manager; 2) revert back to off-site management; or 3) create a hybrid position of GM/Clubhouse Coordinator with one full- and one part-time position. After a brief discussion, the Board voted unanimously to hire a new onsite GM to replace Bridget. While savings might be realized if other alternatives were chosen, our community deserves and depends upon a full-time, onsite GM. The Board formed a search committee, chaired by Steve Habeger with Tom Weber and Vicki McCormick as members,

The Parke Penguins Did It! We took an “icy plunge” on January 1st for Atlantic Gen-eral Hospital. We did it with “flippers” held high, a smile on our faces, and warm hearts as again Parke residents, local businesses, friends, and families rallied around our team with support in the amount of $6,630, which gave us the 3rd place trophy. Thanks to all who sponsored us and thanks to the large gathering of Parke residents who came to the beach and cheered us on. This year Joan Gentile won the best costume award. Don Grafer was The Parke’s oldest male penguin to swim (78), Sylvia Angstadt was not only the oldest Parke female to swim (76), but collected the most contributions. Bruce and Nancy Jarvis were second and Paul and Lorayne Whitson third. Check theparke.org to view all the pictures. What makes The Parke a great place to live is its wonderful, caring residents. Thank you all …your Parke Penguins!

The Parke is Seeking Nominations forBoard of Directors Candidates The Parke Homeowners Association is governed by a five-member Board of Directors. The Board functions, pri-marily, as a policy-making body with responsibility to provide overall management of the affairs of the Association. Day-to-day management is the responsibility of the General Manager, who reports directly to the Board of Directors. In May the terms of office of three members of the current Board will expire. They are our president Mike Stevenson, our vice president Dominic Tangredi, and member-at-large Vicki McCormick. One or more of these individuals will not be running for re-election. The Nominations Committee is calling for residents to be-come candidates for seats on the Board. If you are interested in running and have any questions, please feel free to contact any one of the members of the committee. They include Janet Balbo (Vice Chair), Olga and Vincent Farozic, Joan Gentile, Kathy Mundie, Peg Robinson, Judy Tangredi, and Tom Weber (Chairman). By now you should have received a Call for Nomina-tions letter. The letter gives the qualifications required to be a candidate. A form is attached to the letter for the candidate to complete and return to the Nominations Committee. All nominations must be received by February 26th. Candidates are also requested to participate in a “Meet the Candidates” Forum to be held on Saturday, April 17th, at 9:30am in The Parke’s Clubhouse. We are confident that there are many residents of The Parke who are qualified to serve on the Board of Directors. Please give thoughtful consideration to seeking nomination, thereby showing your willingness to serve your community. We will have a brief discussion about serving on the Board of Directors to open the February 5th Java Hour. It would be a perfect time to ask any questions regarding time commitment, duties, etc. Hope to see you there.
OC Air Show Volunteers Needed The Ocean City Air Show will be held this year on June 5th and 6th. Last year many Parke residents worked as volun-teers, and many other others just came to the beach to enjoy the spectacular show. This is the best time to sign up to be-come involved with the 2010 Air Show. Volunteers are vital to an air show’s success. By becom-ing a volunteer you can play a significant role in making the OC Air Show happen and see it all from behind the scenes. You’ll also get to participate in some of the private func-tions and events that will take place during Air Show Week in Ocean City. Every volunteer will receive a free admission for two to Show Center Beach, a parking pass, complimentary lunch and soft drinks on the day(s) worked, and a special edi-tion event t-shirt being provided only to performers, staff, and volunteers. Go to www.ocairshow.com to get additional information about the show schedule, activities, performers, and the vol-unteer registration form. You must register at this website to volunteer. For further information, your local contact is Lisa Schwartz.
Residents Researching Helmet Guards A few residents would like to determine how many others throughout the community would be interested in acquiring helmet guards for the gutters on their homes. They are hoping that if a large number of people are interested in this product (better than gutter guards), they’ll be able to get a better price for the guards and their installation. If you are interested, con-tact Steve Franklin, Martin Baer, or Joan Gentile. They will put a signup sheet in the Clubhouse and Mail Pavilion.
The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

Friends of the Ocean Pines Library Exhibits Parke resident Don Grafer continues to exhibit his work at the Ocean Pines Library. Read more about Don in last month’s Parke Bench. In February Janis Ilene Grau, a classically trained artist, will be exhibiting her work at the Ocean Pines Library. Janis is a graduate of the Maryland Institute, College of Art. She has taught art in the Baltimore and Wicomico County school sys-tems in Maryland for 35 years. Janis works almost exclusively in watercolor, painting dramatic floral portraits from observa-tion and photo references. She uses bold, powerful color and a point-of-view that highlights the shapes and nuances within each flower. March’s exhibit will feature artist Kathy Gibson’s works in oils. She is inspired by the nature of the Eastern Shore and influenced by the impressionist movement in her work. Her work is very interesting reflecting images with the clever use of light and shadow. Kathy has studied at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Virginia, and Maryland House in An-napolis. Kathy is active in local art circles and has exhibited at the Art League of Ocean City, the Rehoboth Art League, and at The Globe in Berlin. For further information, contact Mary Doellgast, Art Ex-hibit Chair, at 410-208-3878.

the support I have received from the Board of Directors and staff is greatly appreciated. With that said, down to business. In anticipation of Legum & Norman’s plan to change banks, you received coupon books only for the first three months of the year. In March new coupons will be sent for the remainder of the year. Those owners paying by direct debit do not need to do anything to continue their direct debit payments. Owners paying by their bank’s bill payer service will need to give their bank the new lock box address prior to April 1st. The new lock box address is: P.O. Box 66215, The Parke at Ocean Pines, c/o Legum & Norman Realty, Inc. Phoenix, AZ 85082-6215.

Programs Committee members wish everyone a happy and healthy 2010. We look forward to a year filled with events for all to enjoy. The Parke Penguins ran another successful campaign and took another trophy back to The Parke. Congratulations to all who participated and supported them. Also, another great New Year’s Eve party was a hit at the Clubhouse. The holiday decorations are all put away, but thanks to all who helped with the displays and decorating of the community. This year we have decided to put together a subcommittee to organize and help out with the festivities involved in making our community a winter holiday delight. Look for details around September or let the front desk know if you are interested in joining us. The calendar for February has the usual committee meet-ings and events. The $100 Parko jackpot was won on January 6th by Joyce Bangert. Congratulations! There will be NO Parko in February. See you all on March 3rd. We start over with $50 in 50 numbers. Our Outdoors Club is putting together a combined trip to St Michaels with Ocean Pines. See “Mark Your Calendar” under Parke Happenings and the Clubhouse book for details. NO SUPER BOWL CELEBRATION HAS BEEN SCHED-ULED YET! We will be having a Valentine’s Day happy hour at the Clubhouse on February 12th from 4:30-6:30pm. Look for details on The Parke website, www.theparke.org. Note of interest: Our Clubhouse showcase can be deco-rated by residents who want to display their hobbies and tal-ents. The display for January was delightful and February is already booked. Contact the front office if you have a month you would like to show your event decorations and displays. The next Programs meeting will be on Wednesday, Feb-ruary 17th, at 10am. As always, it is open to all residents to attend or take ownership of an event.

Operations Advisory Committee By Dale Buley, Chair
Communications Advisory Committee By Janet Kerner, Chair
After a long delay the new smaller-sized Resident Directories are finally here. If you haven’t picked up your copy, they are avail-able at the Clubhouse front desk. When you pick up your copy, make sure that your in-formation is correct. There is a limit of one directory per household. The January 8th Java Hour with John Bird, the Regional Construction Manager for Centex, was a huge success. If you weren’t able to attend, we have a video of the session. Unfor-tunately, the file is too large to load on our website. There is a DVD available at the Clubhouse. John gave us a lot of valu-able information about the warranty on our Centex homes. You can also find a lot of helpful information about specific homeowner problems on The Parke Forum. At the February 5th Java Hour there will be a presenta-tion on the Parke Neighborhood Watch Program. The ses-sion will feature a presentation by Ocean Pines Police Chief Dave Massey. Chief Massey is now a resident of The Parke. Then, on March 5th the Java Hour will be a Town Hall meet-ing with County Commissioner Judy Boggs; Diane McGraw, a member of the Maryland State Lottery Commission; and Worchester County Storm Water Management inspector Ryan Presock. In order to give the Board more information about our future plans for the Parke Happenings website, we have delayed the deadline for the elimination of duplicate email notifications. Those of you who have already signed up on Parke Happenings will continue getting duplicate emails for a little while longer. The Communications Committee gave a progress report on Parke Communications at a special Board working session on January 27th. The next Communications Advisory Committee meeting will be on Wednesday, February 12th, at 10:30am.
Installation of automatic door entry equipment in both the Clubhouse and the Mail Pavilion has been completed. There are still some fine-tuning issues that must be resolved to insure the most efficient and cost effective use of the new equipment. Of inter-est, the left-side door exiting the Clubhouse and the right-side door entering the Clubhouse can be opened without activating the automatic feature, thus limiting the pe-riod of time the doors are open; a feature that can be used by those not requiring automatic entry. We are pleased that the Board of Directors approved this very important improvement, thus affording easier resident access to both Parke facilities. The Operations Advisory Committee was pleased to wel-come our new General Manager, Abby Elliott, to our January meeting. We are looking forward to a long and successful relationship with Abby. A number of residents have expressed concern for the excessive amount of flooding that is occurring in the wetlands throughout The Parke and the impact that excessive water might have on the health of the wooded areas. Since the wetlands are restricted areas and must remain natural, specific action is limited and can only be taken by state and county authorities. However, Operations is fully aware of resident concerns and will support, as appropriate, individual efforts to deal with their issues. Joe Green of the OPS Committee has agreed to work with residents in addressing their concerns. Of interest, due to the excessive flooding on the Clubhouse nature trail, the trail will be temporarily closed until further notice. Sorry for the inconvenience. A number of residents have expressed concern regarding the effectiveness and timeliness of gutter cleaning. There are anumber of issues involved, i.e., closeness to the trees, damage to roofs, sludge in the bottom of the gutter, etc., which must be addressed. It is planned that these issues will be reviewed with the contractor which hopefully will result in satisfactory resolutions to resident problems.

Energy Advisory Committee By Dave Kohler, Chair
OPERATIONS ADVISORY Continued From Page 7
Requests for funds were made and approved at the Janu-ary 20th Board meeting to install a ceiling fan in the Clubhouse card room and to install the “wave ropes” in the Clubhouse swimming pool. Also, the combining of the two Clubhouse propane gas systems was not completed last year due to in-clement weather. However, Eastern Shore Gas assures us that the project should be completed by the end of January. Combining of these systems is expected to provide significant energy savings. You might have noticed that some of the Clubhouse aw-nings are somewhat “the worse for wear.” One awning was entirely removed in order to prevent damage to the awning frame. Replacement of Clubhouse awnings has been budgeted for 2010 and work will soon be underway to remove, measure, and install new awnings. Details of the current activities of the Operations Advisory Committee are included in the January 5th meeting minutes posted in the Mail Pavilion and on the Parke website. The next meeting of the OPS Committee is scheduled for Tuesday, February 2nd, at 1:30pm in the Grand Hall. If you should have questions, concerns, or suggestions that should come to the attention of the OPS Committee, we strongly urge you to attend our next meeting. We had a number of residents attend our last OPS meeting requesting our involvement in several important issues.
Topics discussed in the November 12th
and January 7th meetings include the results of the energy audit on the Clubhouse, electri-cal power factor issues with pool equipment, control of street lights, and planning for opti-mal responses to future breakdowns of HVAC equipment. Energy and Environmental Consultants (EEC) submitted a revised proposal for reducing heat leaks in the Clubhouse that was still above the budget limit. The EAC and General Man-ager will negotiate with EEC to get the cost reduced. We are trying to get measurements made to determine if we need new wiring or power-factor correction equipment to improve efficiency of swimming pool equipment and reduce costs. Don Clagett and Vince Brocato have tried to locate and inspect all the sensors that control the operation of streetlights in the Parke and to estimate what needs to be done to assure that lights are not on during bright daylight hours. The worst offender appears to be the sensor that is pointed into shaded woods behind the Mail Pavilion. A solution may require mov-ing the sensor.
Fred Husman heads a subcommittee to plan ahead for the best response to future failures of HVAC equipment, e.g., re-pair, replace, or upgrade the heat pumps. Hopefully, this will reduce the teeth gnashing and hair pulling the next time a unit fails and we need a solution in a hurry. Note that the main doors on the Mail Pavilion and Club-house are now automatic to assist those with physical limita-tions. Those without limitations are encouraged to use the left-hand doors to enter the Clubhouse. That will reduce the amount of time the doors are open and the amount of cold air that gets into the building. More details can be found in the meeting minutes posted on the Parke website. The EAC usually meets at 10am on the first Thursday of each month, and meetings are open to all residents. The next meeting will be on February 4th.

NEW GENERAL MANAGER Continued From Page 1Central Florida. Abby resides in Salisbury with her husband and daughter. She brings over 20 years of business experi-ence to her new role. In keeping with past practice, the Board of Directors will be monitoring Abby’s performance against established performance and developmental goals during her initial six months on her new job. We are confident that she is up to the task. Abby returned from vacation to begin the New Year in her new role. Of course one of the first tasks on Abby’s plate is to find her own replacement. She met with the Board on two occasions in January to plan recruiting strategy and docu-ment job requirements. Hopefully, we will have a qualified replacement on board before too long. In the meantime, re-member that Abby is performing two jobs with a lot of assis-tance from our part-time staff, so we have temporarily modi-fied our “open door policy.” If you need to meet with Abby, please call ahead or send her an email stating the purpose and content of the meeting. Abby will then set up an appointment or resolve the issue via email. Please be patient during this transition period.

WinterThe earth closes its dooras ice descends upon its floor.Snow creates a blanket of whitethat illuminates the night.
Animals scurry to burrow beneaththe snow to wait and sleepuntil the door of winter rescinds.
People hide underneath coats,hats and gloves waiting forthe ice to subside.
Children peek out of ice covered windowshoping for more snow to play in.

Red HatsActivities
Red Hats #1 (Les Chapeaux Rouges du Parke) The ladies of Les Chapeaux Rouges du Parke are pleased to announce that Princess Jayne Collinge will serve as their Queen for 2010. She will be assisted by Princess Meg Gerety. Jayne replaces Barbara Rusko who served us so well for the past seven years.
We have four events planned for the year. Marcia Hirsch and Dot Hunkele are arranging a spring luncheon to be followed by ice cream at Chesapeake Bay Farms. Kathy Muncy plans a luncheon in June at the Poplar Mansion, the oldest home in Salisbury. Mary Stevens and Bea Frank will organize a flower arranging session just before Thanksgiving to make table centerpieces. Our annual re-gifting and planning party will be held at Betty Holloway’s home and will include a wine tasting. We are excited about another great year! Red Hats #2 (Sombreros Rojos) The Sombreros Rojos held their meeting this month in the Clubhouse Card Room. A working lunch of pizza and salad was enjoyed while the group dis-cussed ideas for upcoming events, meeting dates, and our budget for the upcoming year. Dianna Bolyard has generously agreed to remain our President.
Red Hats #4 (Scarlett O’Hatters) The Scarlett O’Hatters are going to Marina Deck on February 16th. Sign up at the Clubhouse. Red Hat #5 (Red Hattitudes) On Friday, February 19th, we will be meeting at Bayside Skillet in OC at noon. A signup sheet is in the Clubhouse Red Hats book. With the signup sheet will be a sample menu. Their menu offers crepes, breakfast, and lunch items. We’ll be able to order from the menu at the luncheon, and everyone will receive an individual check. Also, our dues of $5 are being collected for the year.

I seldom go to the PayPal site; I usually access PayPal from eShopping websites when I click on the PayPal icon in-stead of a credit card icon. Then the eShopping site transfers me to a PayPal log in page where I confirm my purchase and am then transferred back to the eShopping site. I usually re-ceive an e-mail from PayPal confirming my purchase within a few minutes The other safe eShopping method is to use a “One Time” credit card. This service is offered by some credit card ser-vices. For example, I have a AAA Visa card and can go to the AAA site, log in and get a “One Time” credit card number. I can then set the credit limit and the number of times this card number can be used. I usually set the limit to the amount of my purchase plus the shipping costs and tax and one purchase. If you plan to purchase items from multiple eShopping sites, set the card limit and number of purchases accordingly. Then I go to the eShopping website, make my purchase, and enter the “One Time” credit card information. The “One Time” credit card number then expires and my ‘real’ credit card informa-tion remains safe and secure.
Are you nervous about online shopping and sending your credit card number to websites that you might not completely trust? Well, there are two alternatives that you can use that safeguard your credit card information.
The first is PayPal (https://www.paypal.com). As you can see by the “https” in the URL, the entire site is secure, and it is safe to send your credit card number to PayPal. Most eShop-ping websites accept PayPal as well as major credit cards, so you can shop at them without sending your credit card infor-mation to multiple websites. To set up an account at PayPal, click on the “Sign up” link at the bottom of the grey “login” area on the left side of the page. On the next page, click on the “Get Started” button in the “Personal” box. On the next page you will enter your email address, a password, your name, your address, and phone number. Then click on the “Agree and create account” button. On the next page you can choose to pay from your bank account or your credit card. If you select Credit Card, the next page will ask for the card number, expiration date, and the CSC number. If you select Bank Account, the next page will ask for your bank name, account type, routing code, and account number. After entering the required information, the next page has you select two security questions so you can recover a forgot-ten password. Then, finally, you are logged in to the PayPal site. After looking around, you can log out from PayPal and begin safe eShopping.

Christine Neto, M.D.
On The Lighter Side“Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $50,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn’t surprise me if someday they’ll be making more than the President.”
“I never thought I’d see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now.”
“It’s too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet.”
“I’m afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.”
“The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.”
“There is no sense going on short trips anymore for a weekend, it costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay in a hotel.”
“No one can afford to be sick anymore; at $15.00 a day in the hospital, it’s too rich for my blood.”
“If they think I’ll pay 30 cents for a hair cut, forget it.”
Comments made in the year 1955! That’s only 55 years ago!
“I’ll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it’s going to be impossible to buy a week’s groceries for $10.00.”
“Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won’t be long before $1,000 will only buy a used one.”
“Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging seven cents just to mail a letter?”
“When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 25 cents a gallon. Guess we’d be better off leaving the car in the garage.”
“I’m afraid to send my kids to the movies any more ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it.”
“I read the other day where some scientist thinks it’s possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas.”

Health MattersWalking Safely If you are trying to get more exercise into your routine, walking is a great choice. Not only can you improve your fitness level, but you can enjoy the great outdoors at the same time. Unfortunately, many drivers do not always pay attention to pedestrians on the road, especially as dusk falls. Around 5,000 pedestrians are killed each year by motor vehicles. What can you do to reduce your risk of injury or death from a car when walking? One of the best things you can do is wear a reflective vest or clothing. Be sure that the reflective area is large enough to be seen well and is exposed from every angle. Many brands of walking shoes have reflective material on the heels. Also dress in light colored clothing to maximize your exposure. You should walk facing oncoming traffic. Walk defen-sively. Although pedestrians have the right of way, this doesn’t mean a driver will always yield. Be aware of the traffic around you. If you are walking on a pedestrian path, always walk on the right-hand side so that faster walkers, runners, and cyclists can easily pass. Never walk alone. If you have no one to walk with, be sure to tell someone the route you will be on and when you expect to return. Also, leave the headphones at home for maxi-mum safety. You are not able to hear potential dangers if you are listening to music.
Household Hints From Meg Gerety, Freeport Lane
Over the holidays as we were preparing to have friends over for dinner, our garbage disposal jammed. Our efforts to clear it were to no avail. The next morning our friendly plumber, Keith, arrived. He spent considerable time in our crawl space. Cause of the problem: egg shells! Keith said to never, ever put egg shells in a disposal. Apparently, they pulverize, float on top of the water, and then sink to the bot-tom of the pipe where they build up. I have been putting egg shells in the disposal for about forty years and never read anything that said not to do this. I’m guessing that most of our Parke neighbors do also. Other items that shouldn’t go in are: banana peels, onion skins, and potato peelings, although he said you can probably get away with the potato peelings. Total damage: $164!

Attention Senior Softball Players Several men in The Parke play in a senior softball league in Delaware and are seeking new players. The Olde Tymers Softball is starting its 13th year and they welcome recreational players, men and women, who will be 55 years of age or over as of December 31, 2010. Skill in fielding, hitting, throwing and running will be evaluated to ensure a player is capable of protecting themselves while playing in games. Pre-season practices start Tuesday, April 6th, and league games begin in May. Practices and games take place at the Dagsboro Church of God fields located on Route 113 in Dagsboro. Games will be played throughout the summer on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. In order to maintain team rosters throughout the season, you must commit the time to participate in at least half of the regular season games, from May through the end of August. To assist with ordering uniforms and help team managers prepare for the 2010 player draft to be held on Friday, April 30th, it is imperative you get your registration form in as soon as possible. The 2010 registration fee is $50 for all players. If you are interested in playing, contact Dick Mullins at 410-208-1537.
Attention Basketball Players The Ocean Pines Community Center has an excellent basketball court in this new facility. There is an open gym to shoot hoops from 1:30 to 4:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you have any questions, call Rick Rodgers on 410-208-1350.
There are two tax credits that people need to be familiar with when preparing their 2009 income tax returns. They are: Making Work Pay Credit and Government Retiree Credit. Use Schedule M to figure the credits. Even if you cannot take the Making Work Pay credit, you may be able to take the Gov-ernment Retiree credit. Each credit is treated as a refundable credit that is reported on your tax return in the “Payments” section. In effect, the credit is treated as additional with-holding that can increase your refund or lower the tax you must pay with your return.
Making Work Pay Credit You may be able to take a credit of up to $400 ($800 if married filing jointly) if you have earned income from work. Even if your federal income tax withholding was reduced dur-ing 2009 because of the credit (as seen by a slight increase in take-home pay), you must complete Schedule M and claim the credit on your return to benefit from it. You cannot take the credit if your adjusted gross income is $95,000 ($190,000 if married filing jointly) or more, you are a nonresident alien, or you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. The credit is reduced if either of the following statements is true:• You (or your spouse, if filing jointly) received a $250 economic recovery payment during 2009. You may have received an economic recovery payment if you received social security benefits, supplemental security income (SSI) benefits, railroad retirement benefits, or veterans disability compensation or pension benefits.
• You take the government retiree credit discussed next.
Government Retiree Credit You can take a credit of $250 ($500 if married filing jointly and both spouses qualify) if you (or your spouse, if fil-ing jointly) received a pension in 2009 for service performed for the U.S. Government or any U.S. state or local government and the service was not covered by social security. But you cannot take the credit if you and your spouse both received a $250 economic recovery payment (described above) during 2009.
Donations to Haiti Relief People who give to charities providing earthquake relief in Haiti can claim these donations on the tax return they are completing this season. Persons who itemize deductions on their 2009 return qualify for this special tax relief provision. Only cash contributions made to these charities after January 11, 2010, and before March 1, 2010, are eligible. This in-cludes contributions made by text message, check, credit card, or debit card. The new law only applies to cash (as opposed to property) contributions. The contributions must be made specifically for the relief of victims in areas affected by the January 12th earthquake in Haiti. Taxpayers have the option of deducting these contributions on either their 2009 or 2010 returns, but not both. For donations by text message, a telephone bill will meet the record-keeping requirement if it shows the name of the organization receiving your donation, the date of the contribu-tion, and the amount given. For cash contributions made by other means, be sure to keep a bank record, such as a cancelled check or a receipt from the charity. Receipts should show the name of the charity, the date and amount of the contribution.
