Orienteering Hidden in Plain Sight The Mallard Pond Trail Dee Hynes

A Chorus Line is now playing at Mallard Pond. It stars the sun’s rays as they tap dance across glinting, reflective waters. Multitudes of waterfowl frequently splash their winged approval. Golfers play beside the pond and scores of Spring Val- ley Parkway drivers pass by without a second thought as to the activity here. The area is hidden in plain sight as Mallard Pond is positioned within the recess of the South Orchard Creek Preserve. Its corresponding trail shyly hugs the Preserve’s hillside, featuring three inviting elements: three trailheads, entertainment, and enjoyment upon arrival.

The tax law has certain requirements and tax breaks that apply just to senior taxpayers. Being familiar with these rules could cut your taxes or prevent tax penalties. These rules include: • A higher standard deduction at age 65 • A requirement to take out a certain portion of your retirement holdings every year once you reach age 70½, or face a 50% penalty • A requirement to make quarterly tax estimates once tax withholding from wages ends (at certain income levels) For details and other tax-cutting assistance, contact: Carolyn J.
