M M M M M B lM tM l Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, February 22, 1995 - THREE Free tax assistance available Would you like assistance in completing your income tax forms this year? Do you have questions about your taxes? Free income tax assistance is now available in Heppner at the Neighborhood Center. In terested persons may make ap pointments by calling 676-5024. TAX-AIDE program is spon sored by the American Associa tion of Retired Persons (AARP) in cooperation with the Inter nal Revenue Service (IRS) and made available to all low and moderate income persons. Catherine Dowrey, local coordinator of the program, says "th e service is to help all low and moderate income tax payers understand the income tax forms and the benefits available to them ." "Taxpayers who had a child living with them, and whose earned income was less than $23,750, may be due money ■1 from the government under the Earned Income C re d it," Dowrey said. This year for the first time wage-earners bet ween ages 25 and 64 without a child at home and with earn ings of $9,000 or below could be eligible for the Earned Income Credit. "M any older persons are unaware of some tax credits they may be entitled to claim," Dowrey stated. "Som e may not now be required to file a return because of limited in com e." Persons using the service should bring copies of their previous year's federal and state tax returns, forms for the current tax year, relevant ma terial showing income for the year (including W-2's and 1099's etc.) and receipts, cancelled checks for personal deductions (medical, property taxes, contributions, etc.). According to Dowrey, TAX- AIDE counselors are trained to assist with basic tax forms and questions. The local training covering the federal and state tax forms was held last week. Each counselor must pass a test before giving TAX-AIDE assis tance to anyone. Individuals with complex tax assistance needs may be referred to pro fessional tax preparers.

Joyce, Trent & Jaclynn Hughes Inland Empire Bank Bill & Marge Kenny Kinzua Resources, LLC George, Debbie & Brian Koffler Oral antihistamines are used to treat a variety of health problems including seasonal and chronic al lergic rhinitis and urticaria (hives). Terfenadine (Seldane) was the first of the nonsedating antihistamines. It became available in the U.S. in 1985. Since then, astemizoie (His manal), and loratidine (Claritih) have been approved. The original antihistamines (first generation) and nonsedating antihistamines (second generation) block or an tagonize histamine, a chemical that, when released in the body, causes runny nose, watery eyes, and red ness or inflammation of the skin. The second generation antihis tamines do not cause drowsiness, fatigue, or sedation. They will not make you sleepy like first genera tion antihistamines. Therefore, they can be used safely by truck drivers and persons who operate danger ous equipment. Disadvantages re late to cost (they are more expen sive than first generation antihista mines), potential drug interactions (they can cause more harmful in teractions with other medicines than do first generation drugs), and they require a prescription. First generation antihistamines such as dip h en h y d ram in e and chlorpheniram ine generally cost less, cause fewer drug-drug inter actions, and are available without prescription. In most persons, they are effective. - v- ¿1 • Bob, Joy & Bobby Krein Les Schwab Tires Lexington Machine Works, Al & Jean Brazell Larry & Corrine Lindsay M.C.
