WOW, the past couple of weeks our free tennis lessons
have been a tremendous success. The staff would like to
say thank you for all the calls we received about how great
Dustin is and how much they enjoyed the tennis lessons.
Just a reminder to those who may have forgotten, we offer free tennis lesson to all
of our residents every Saturday at 10am, weather permitting. Just show up at the
tennis courts at least 10 minutes before the class begins. Dustin likes to start his
classes on time. So go ahead and have a ball, a tennis ball of a time.
Tips To Avoid Allergies For The
Pollen Season
. Do a thorough spring cleaning - windows, book
shelves and air conditioning vents collect dust and
mold throughout the winter that can provoke allergy
symptoms. . Minimize outdoor activity when pollen
counts are high. Peak pollen times are usually between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you live in the USA, you
can get up-to-date pollen information for your area
from the National Allergy Bureau at www.aaaai.org/
nab. . Take medications at least 30 minutes prior to
outdoor activity. Consult with an allergist-immunologist to ensure medications are helping you, and notify
your doctor when reactions to medications occur. .
Shut windows in your house on days pollen counts
are high. Avoid using windows or fans that may draw
pollen inside. . Wash bedding weekly in hot water. .
Dry laundry indoors. Sheets hanging on an outside
line are an easy target for blowing pollen. . Shower
and wash your hair before bed - pollen can collect
on your hair and skin. . Keep pets off of furniture and
out of the bedroom. Pollen can cling to the dog or cat
after being outside. . Keep car windows closed during
peak season. Use air conditioning and point vents
away from face. . When mowing lawn or gardening,
wear a filter mask.

Free Tax Options Save Time And Money
It’s that time of year again—time to file your taxes. And this year,
millions of Americans can file their taxes for free online or at a low
cost using their iPhone or Android smartphones.
Today, there are more free and low-cost tax preparation options
available than ever before. Low-income taxpayers, filers with simple
returns, even active-duty military personnel are among those who
can benefit from free online tax preparation and filing options.
File for Free
The IRS Free File program provides free tax preparation
for middle- and low-income taxpayers. Taxpayers with an
adjusted gross income (AGI) of $58,000 or less, about 70
percent of all taxpayers, can get free online tax preparation
and e-filing through the Free File Alliance at www.IRS.gov.
Many tax preparation software companies offer a free version of their products available to consumers, regardless of income.
TurboTax has one—designed for taxpayers with relatively straightforward tax returns—that guides you step by step through
your tax return and searches for all the tax credits you’re eligible for to get you the biggest refund possible, guaranteed.
File on Your Smartphone
Rather file your taxes on your smartphone? If you have a 1040EZ, you can file your taxes
on your iPhone or Android phone with SnapTax. All you do is snap a photo of your
W-2 on your phone and answer a few simple questions. The app is free to
download in the Apple App Store and Android Market. You only pay
the low $14.99 introductory price when you’re ready to
file your return.

Getting Organized Can
Save You Money
Is your life so disorganized that it’s costing you money?
If you’re like all too many Americans, you’re spending so
much time rummaging around for lost or misplaced itemswasting a combined 9 million hours a day—that you’re
probably too frazzled to even contemplate that question.
That’s a real shame because it turns out it’s not just stuff like
car keys and medicine we’re mislaying. According to Harris
Interactive, 23 percent of adults admit to paying their bills
late because they’ve lost them in what we’ll call The Great
Abyss.
And you know what happens when you don’t pay your bills
on time, right? You incur late fees—and, in the case of bank
credit cards, for example, also open yourself to sky-high
annual interest rates.
“People have to realize that being disorganized has reallife consequences,” says organizational expert Jill Pollack,
who’s been featured everywhere from WE’s “Bridezillas” to
FoxNews.com.
Time you organized
your life? Read on for
some expert tips:
• Baskets are your
new best friend. Everyone in your house
should have his or her
own decorative basket
to hold loose items. “It’s an instant declutterer,” says Pollack.
• Your second-best friend is your coding system. Alphabetizing your files—yes, you’ll need files—is apparently
so yesterday. The “more intuitive” way to go? Colors. You
know, green for financial documents, red for health matters,
and so on.
• No one should be without a “home management”
binder. Well, okay, you can probably do without it if you’re
paying someone $100,000 a year just to keep track of your
family’s schedule, emergency contact numbers and all the
rest of life’s minutiae that contribute to high stress levels.
• Stay on top of your bills. Not only do current bills rate
a file folder all their own—color code it neon green, if you
like—but you need to make a habit of going through it once
or twice a week to remit payment.
• Clear your desk. If your home’s cluttered, odds are so is
your office. Make a point to clear it before you leave at night
so you can start fresh in the morning.
Pollack has three final words of advice for pack rats who
insist on keeping every last tax return (seven years normally
suffices), every last paycheck (toss once you’ve gotten your
W-2 form) and every last credit card statement (shred immediately, after checking for accuracy, since they’re a prime
source of identity theft).
Those words?
“Purge, purge, purge.”

Protecting Your Child’s Healthy Smile
Sure, they start out all shiny and healthy, but how do you keep
your child’s teeth staying that way?
Here are some expert tips:
• Avoid the dreaded “Baby Bottle Tooth Decay.” It’s caused by
prolonged contact with almost any liquid other than plain water. (The
technical term, as the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial
Research reminds us, is “early childhood caries.”) So jot these
three no-nos down: Don’t routinely put your children to bed with a
bottle containing sweetened liquids; don’t use bottles as pacifiers;
and don’t even think about dipping pacifiers in sweetened liquids,
honey or sugar.
• A different way to mark that first birthday. It is recommended
that a child’s first visit to the dentist occur no later than the child’s first birthday.
• To wipe or not to wipe. Yes, getting your infant to eat pureed carrots can be a chore by itself, but did you know
you’re also supposed to wipe the infant’s gums and teeth after each feeding with either a clean, moist cloth or a
baby toothbrush?
• It takes two. To floss, that is. And as soon as kids have two teeth that touch, parents should clean
between them daily with floss or an interdental cleaner.
A
