Lakeland Park DOROTHY LENSE Present Plans For Sanitary Project A large group of interested Lakeland Parkers attended the public hearing concerning the proposed construction of sanitary sewers in our com­ munity. The meeting was held last Wednesday evening, April 19. The Board of Local Im­ provements of McHenry presented the plans to the public and answered the many questions which were asked. Acting upon a motion from the majority of those attending the meeting, the Board of Local Improvements began the necessary legal preparations. It was pointed out that these legal preparations will take approximately four months. It is hoped that construction can begin in the fall of 1972. The construction of sanitary sewers in Lakeland Park will culminate 6 years of work on the part of the Board of Local Improvements of McHenry. I am happy to report that work is scheduled to begin this weekend on the culverts for the drainage ditch. The culverts, which will go under the railroad tracks, are much larger than the one that is there now. When this work is completed, the problem we have with standing water should be alleviated. CONDOLENCES The entire Lakeland Park community was saddened to learn of the death of Pete Hellios. Our deepest sympathy is extended to his family. He will be greatly missed. DAVIS FAMILY MOVING TO FLORIDA Cecil and Earline Davis and daughter, Kathy, are going to follow the sun and move to Florida. The Davis family has made their home in Lakeland Park for almost 18 years which makes them among our community's oldest residents. We wish them much hap­ piness in their new home in Port Richey, Fla. They will be making the big move in four or five weeks. Their new address will be 308 Cypress Drive, Port Richey, Fla. They will enjoy hearing from eM friends. Their son, Dale, will be staying behind to continue with his' job in Crystal Lake. 385-6517 GET-WELL WISHES Mrs. Elvira Cuevas entered McHenry hospital last weds to undergo surgery. Get-well wishes go her way to speed her on the way to recovery. VISIT STATE PARK Beverly and Dick Walinski and daughter, Linda, and their friend, Mrs. Darling, visited Starved Rock State Park, Sunday, April 23. They went on one of the guided tours and visted a waterfall and caverns. Ttiey had a very enjoyable day and educational too. LAKELAND PARK WOMEN'S CLUB MEETING Hie monthly meeting of the Lakeland Park Women's Club will be held Thursday, May 4, at 12:30 p.m. in the Lakeland Park community house. Mrs. Edna Domrese and Mrs. Ann Reyfinger will be the hostesses for the April meeting. There will be an installation of officers at this meeting. The new officers are Mrs. Mary Dobbins, president; Mrs. Beverly Walinski, vice- president; Mrs. Nedra Eckhart, secretary; and Mrs. Lyda Radisch, treasurer. Plans also include a speaker who will talk on the subject of recycling as one answer to the pollution problem. It will be interesting to learn what can be done by the individual homemaker to help stop pollution. McCULLOM LAKE CONSERVATION CLUB NEWS At the meeting of the Mc- Cullom Lake Conservation club, Thursday, April 20, it was learned that the fish are doing well. There is still to be no fishing until 1973 to give the fish ample time to grow to full size. Saturday, May 13, has been designated McCullom Lake Clean-Up Day. The Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts will be par­ ticipating in the clean-up, but many more people are needed to help in this operation. If you can give a hand bring shovels and rakes to the beach in West Shore beach. If it rains on May 13 the Clean-Up day will be held the following Saturday, May 20. Anyone who is interested in the conservation of our lake may join the McCullom Lake Conservation club. The meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month. The next meeting will be in the Lakeland Park Community house on Thursday, May 18. BIRTHDAY GREETINGS Edward Druml and George Heuer will celebrate birthdays on April 28.

The column answers questions most frequently asked by taxpayers. Q) Since my son took a part time job between school se­ mesters, he has been paying me $5 a week for room and board. Does this count toward support he furnished when I figure out whether or not I can claim him as a dependent? A) Yes. Any amount your son spends on such items as food, shelter, clothing, educa­ tion, medical and dental care, etc., counts toward his sup­ port. However, if the actual amount spent by you for his room and board exceeds $5 a week, that excess counts as support you furnished for your son. For more informa­ tion on dependency exemptions write your IRS district office for a free copy of Publication 501, "Your Exemptions and Exemptions for Dependents."

A) Yes. You may deduct as an income-producing expense attorney fees attributable to the collection of alimony or separate maintenance that is includible in your income. However, purely personal ex­ penses, such as the expense of property settlement in a di­ vorce or defense of property claims incident to a divorce action, are not deductible. Q) I had the IRS compute my tax for me and received a bill for the amount due. How much time do I have to pay it? A) The additional tax should be paid within 30 days of the date at the top of the bill. Q) I paid a tax preparer to help me with my return for last year. Can I deduct his fee on my return for this year? A) Yes. If you itemize de­ ductions, you can deduct ex­ penditures connected with the determination, collection or re­ fund of tax. Q) Since ail my kids have grown up and moved out, I'd like to sell my home and get an apartment. Doesn't the tax law give persons 65 or older a tax break when they sell their home? A) Yes. If you are 65 or older and sell or exchange yotlr personal residence, you may, under certain conditions, elect to exclude from your re­ turn all or part of any gain realized from the transaction. For details see IRS Publica­ tion 523, Tax Information on Selling Your Home. It's avail­ able free by mailing a post-* card to your IRS district office. Q) I use my den to do work I occasionally bring home from the office. Can I deduct the cost of maintaining this room as a business expense? A) The voluntary, occa­ sional, or incidental use of a part of your residence in con­ nection with your employment does not entitle you to a busf- ness expense deduction for any portion of the deprecia­ tion on, or expenses of main­ taining, your home. However, if, as a condition of your em­ ployment, you are required to provide your own space and facilities for performing your duties, and regularly use a portion of your home for that purpose, you may deduct a pro rata portion of the mainte­ nance and depreciation ex­ pense on your home. For more information, write your IRS district office for a free copy of Publication 530, Tax In­ formation on Deductions for Homeowners.

I know that I can deduct the Army Reserve travel as business ex­ pense because the unit meets outside the general area of my tax home.
