Registration opens for Girl Scout summer camps Swimming, horseback riding, archery, sailing among many summer activities for girls; non-Girl Scouts are also welcome to attend SPRINGFIELD — Girl Scouts of Central Illinois (GSCI) is now accepting registrations for a variety of summer camps and activities at four regional camp sites throughout Central Illinois. Girls in Grades 1-12 have the opportunity to spend their summer horseback riding, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, swimming, backpacking and camping, among other activities. Camp is one of several pathways through which girls can develop their inherent leadership skills in Girl Scouts, as they experience independence, develop new skills, and learn to live in harmony with the environment.

Camps are open to all girls, including non-Girl Scouts. Financial assistance is available. The deadline for registration is two weeks prior to each session; camp sessions start as early as June 6.

“Camp provides an opportunity for girls of all ages and skill levels with a wide range of interests with something exceptional to do this summer,” Girl Scouts of Central Illinois CEO Pam Kovacevich said.

“The experiences we provide during these camps are designed to develop leadership and independence as well as create lifelong friendships and memories.”

Camp sessions are available at four regional camp sites: Camp Peairs in Hudson on Lake Bloomington (www.girlscouts-gsci.org/peairs#_blank); Camp Kiwanis in Mahomet (www.girlscouts-gsci.org/kiwanis#_blank), adjacent to Lake of the Woods Forest Preserve and bordered by the Sangamon River; Camp Tapawingo in Metamora (www.girlscouts-gsci. org/tapawingo#_blank); and Camp Widjiwagan on Lake Springfield (www.girlscouts-gsci.org/widjiwa-

For the youngest Girl Scouts For girls going into kindergarten or first grade this fall, there will be a number of sessions throughout April to introduce young girls to the experience of Girl Scouts and begin registration.

On March 27, there will be a Girl’s Night Out from 6 to 7 p.m. in the basement at Spring Valley City Hall. On April 3, there will be a Girl’s Night Out from 6 to 7 p.m. at the First Congregational Church in Peru. gan#_blank). All sites are accredited by the American Camping Association. Resident and day camps are offered.

Resident camp is a camping experience in which campers live at camp, typically for a week. Girls sleep in platform tents with other girls and enjoy a variety of outdoor activities during their stay.

Campers can go horseback riding, boating, canoeing and hiking, enjoy archery and arts and crafts, and take on our challenge course. They may attend as individual campers or go with a buddy. The girls and their counselors plan activities and take advantage of the many resources available at camp.

Mini resident camps are a great way to try out residential camp and gain the experience of staying away from home while having new and exciting adventures, usually for three days. Activities include exploring the outdoors, going on scavenger hunts, making hands-on crafts, writing fantastic fiction, swimming, hiking, boating, and working on puzzle and riddle challenges.

Day camp is camping by the day. Girls may attend day camp as individual campers or go with buddies.

The girls and staff plan and carry out activities. Day camp is held at the aforementioned camp sites as well as in council communities with council-trained staff.

For more information or a copy of the activity guide or to register for camp, visit www.GetYourGirlPower.org.

Five common causes of prevalent tax mistakes Whether you’ve filed for an extension on your taxes this year, or have waited until the last minute to complete paperwork, or want a better strategy for the future, chances are you could be doing a better job throughout the year to save on income taxes, says seasoned investment advisor Paul Taylor, a member of the National Ethics Bureau.

He cites mistakes that many taxpayers are liable to make.

• Not knowing which tax deductions are available. Tax reform measures are enacted frequently

by Congress, which makes it hard for U.S. taxpayers to know which deductions are currently available for maximizing savings. One of the most overlooked deductions is state and local sales taxes. Taxpayers may be able to take deductions for student-loan interest, out-of-pocket charitable contributions, moving expenses to take a first job, the child care tax credit, new points on home refinancing, health insurance premiums, home mortgage interest, tax-preparation services and contributions to a traditional IRA. • Misunderstanding deduction

value for medical expenses. The Affordable Care Act has altered the guidelines for tax-deductible medical expenses. Effective Jan. 1, 2013, the new policy increased the threshold for the itemized deduction for unreimbursed medical expenses from 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income to 10 percent of adjusted gross income for regular tax purposes. The increase is waived for individuals age 65 and older for tax years 2013 through 2016.

• Confusing when taxes must be paid on IRA and employer-sponsored retirement funds. Traditional IRAs and most employer-sponsored retirement plans are tax-deferred accounts, which mean they are typically funded with pre-tax or tax-deductible dollars. As a result, taxes are not payable until funds are withdrawn. Exceptions are the Roth IRA and the Roth 401(k) and Roth 403(b). Roth accounts are funded with after-tax dollars. That’s why qualified distributions – after age 59.5 and the five-year holding requirement has been met – are free of federal income tax.

• Overlooking tax-advantaged

investments.

Tax-advantaged investments can include real estate partnerships, oil and gas partnerships and suitability, which refers to how appropriate an investment may or may not be to an investor.

Two of the most common types of real estate partnerships, for example, are low-income housing and historic rehabilitation. The federal government grants tax credits to those who construct or rehabilitate low-income housing or who invest in the rehabilitation or preservation of historic structures.

• Uncertainty when accounting for gift taxes. The federal gift tax applies to gifts of property or money while the donor is living. The federal estate tax, on the other hand, applies to property conveyed to others, with the exception of a spouse, after a person’s death. There are several exceptions to gift taxes, including gifts of tuition or medical expenses that you pay directly to a medical or educational institution for someone else, gifts to a spouse who is a U.S. citizen, gifts to a qualified charitable organization and gifts to a political organization.

Friends of Princeton Public Library plan book sale PRINCETON — The Friends of the Princeton Public Library will hold its annual book sale from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. April 24, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

April 25 and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 26.

There will be more then 9,000 quality used hardcovered and paperbacked books available for sale. All books have been cleaned and sorted into more than 30 categories for easy shopping.

Library Corner

They will be selling current best sellers, cookbooks, mysteries, children’s books, history and science books as well as puzzles, DVDs and CDs. The sale will take place at the Princeton Public Library, 698 E. Peru St., in the Friends Sale Room.

The cost ranges from 50 cents to $1. April 26 is Bag day where patrons can buy a bag of books for $5. Specially marked books are half-priced.

BCGS is now a FamilySearch affiliate library PRINCETON — The Bureau County Genealogical Society is reminding the public that it is a FamilySearch affiliate library.

The designation means library patrons will have greater and more convenient access to the wealth of genealogical resources available through FamilySearch.

FamilySearch is the world’s largest repository of free genealogical records and manages the famous Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. It has amassed billions of birth, marriage, death, census, land, and court records of genealogical significance from over 130 countries.

FamilySearch is extending access to its collections by circulating microfilms of the historic records through select public libraries. The Bureau County Genealogical Society is now one of those libraries. It is a priceless resource for local residents interested in discovering their fam-

ily trees.

Since only a small portion (less than 5 percent) of the world’s genealogical records are online, researchers can easily access FamilySearch’s extensive collection by traveling no farther than the BCGS Library at 629 S. Main St. in Princeton.

There is a nominal fee payable to FamilySearch to cover rental and mailing when ordering a microfilm. Patrons can search the Family History Library Catalog online at http://www.

Education

Student organizations donate books OGLESBY — Their arrival was two years in the making, yet hundreds of textbooks collected by two Illinois Valley Community College student organizations recently arrived in the Fundong Provence of Cameroon, West Africa.

Students and faculty of IVCC’s International Club and TEACH spent more than a year collecting textbooks for middle and high school-aged students at the Fundong Government High School.

The project was the brain child of faculty adviser Amanda Cook Fesperman and former IVCC students Oliver Kah and Jacquelynn Hansen.

“Schools in Africa are often sorely underfunded,” said Cook Fesperman “Something as simple as textbooks we take for granted here in the United States are very hard to come by in many of these schools, especially those in the rural areas.”

Students often share textbooks, or learn through rote memorization, Fesperman said.

The donation will make it possible for students to learn a wide range of subjects and improve their reading.

He is now studying social work at Bradley University.

In 2012, when Hansen, then TEACH president, learned of the project she immediately offered to help and the two student organizations worked to collect the books, raise money to ship them, and, through the help of IVCC chemistry instructor Promise Yong, ensured

the books would arrive safely in Fundong.

In addition to sending books to Fundong, the International Club along with physics instructor Dominic Sarsah, has also been collecting and sending college textbooks to Cape Coast University in Ghana, West Africa, for almost 10 years.

Recently, the organization sponsored school fees for deserving students in two villages in Cameroon and will continue to help provide scholarships through

a foundation set up by Yong, who also hails from Cameroon.

“This was such a wonderful opportunity for our students to make connections with students half way across the world, and to learn the value of education,” said Fesperman.

Fesperman, a political science instructor, hoped these types of projects continue at IVCC because it offers students a chance to help others while also learning about another culture.
