shot a man who reportedly aimed a semiautomatic gun at police officers last May. Flowerdew downplayed his own contributions to the department as some- thing officers are called on to do regularly. "We're all doing special things," he said. The event made a point to honor the volunteers who contribute to the vari- ous agencies, including all the members of the Sher- iff's Team of Active Retired Seniors, or S.T.A.R.S. Combined, the group's efforts were enough to equal about $64,000 of man-hours, Parker said.

This year, before you simply throw away your unwanted stuff, why not pay yourself back, compli- ments of Uncle Sam? Do you usually just give your things to the nearest Goodwill and politely refuse a receipt, thinking your donation isn't worth much? Well, think again. "Money For Your Used Cloth- ing, 2009 Tax Year" -- part donations valuations, part workbook -- lists IRS- accepted values for more than 850 household items that commonly are donated to charities, such as Goodwill and The Salvation Army, for resale. This handy booklet offers eye-popping proof that your discarded items can be worth a lot at tax time. Most of us who itemize our federal and state income tax returns lowball the estimated value of our goods for fear that the IRS will swoop down to clobber us: "You claimed $10 for this never-worn Christian Dior dress? Are you crazy? That will be a $10,000 fine and 10 years in Sing Sing." The author of this book, certified public accountant William Lewis, gives this example: Let's say the total market value of your donated items is $1,500. Multiply that by your tax rate, say 28 percent, to determine your tax savings. Are you ready? $420. "Money For Your Used Clothing" offers excellent advice on determining the certi- fied market valuations accepted by the IRS on hundreds of items taking up space in your home. The author helps you determine the condition of your stuff. Then a dollar amount is assigned that you can legally deduct from your total income. Last year's leather pumps look great, but you don't wear them anymore. Donate them for a $16 tax deduction. How about those nice jeans you can't squeeze into anymore? A $9 deduction. Not having any more babies? A maternity dress in good condition can be deducted for $18, and the IRS won't even blink. Check your closets. Computers, rainwear, toys, books, major appliances, linens, ath- letic equipment, furniture, magazines and even underwear (remember Hillary Clinton?) all can be deducted at prices you probably never dreamed of. Once you've set aside your items to donate, simply record them in the handy ledger provided in this book. Add up the total, and enter it in the appropriate space on your 1040 form. Then sleep with a smile on your face. The author includes practical advice on how to claim these deductions. He recommends you photograph your stuff before you box it up. Always get a receipt from the charity. The IRS doesn't like photo- copied receipts, so stash the originals in a safe place. "Money For Your Used Clothing" is available now in the Debt-Proof Living book- store (http://www.Debt- ProofLiving.com) or by call- ing 800-550-3502, Monday- Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time. The 2009 edition corre- sponds with the federal tax return you must file on or before April 15. "Money For Your Used Clothing" comes with a $200 savings guarantee. If, after completing this booklet's workbook, you don't save an addition- al $200 on your itemized tax return, then return it for a full refund.

Continued from page 1A I-5 realized the ball wasn't going to continue rolling toward him, Arce had reached it first and made no mistake in putting Corning up 1-0. Although the first goal came by a bit of a break, Arce showed he had skill to go along with his luck in the 32nd minute when, from eight yards out on the right side of goal, he beat the Eagle goaltender cleanly and his shot clanged off the far post and in. The Cardinals would get one more goal before half- time, when again the ball sank in the mud about 10 yards out from goal and Bob Morales was there to chip it over a sprawling goaltender. If the three-goal halftime deficit hadn't demoralized the Eagles, it only took nine minutes into the second half for Arce to finish the job. The Cardinal offense peppered the Eagles with constant pressure inside the box as West Valley could not clear the ball out of danger. Finally Cesar Ruiz took a shot that deflected off the goalie and to the feet of Arce, who buried it for his third goal of the game. Roberto Garcia would add a fifth goal in the final 10 minutes of the game off a header from a corner kick and the celebration was on. "I can't explain the excitement right now," Arce said before he and the sec- tion trophy were hoisted by teammates. The Cardinal spectators, who numbered in the hun- dreds, formed a human tun- nel for the players to run through after the victory. During 19 games this season, the Cardinals scored 109 goals and allowed just 19. For first-year coach Ascension Llamas the sea- son's success came about because of a team effort. "They knew that they had to work together to win. They knew they had to respect each other," Llamas said. The 2010 Northern Sec- tion Division I boys soccer champion Corning Cardi- nals are: Adrian Aceves, Alexis Angeles, Jose Arce, Clemente Arreguin, Fredy Carrillo, Rigoberto Chavez, Luis Corona, Jose Duarte, Diego Figueroa, Roberto Garcia, Manuel Ibarra, Hec- tor Loera, Jorge Machado, Herminio Miranda, Bob Morales, Julio Nunez, Fran- cisco Pano, Cesar Ruiz, Rafael Ruiz, Enrique Torres, Jose Torres and Ivan Umana. They were coached by Ascension Llamas and Ser- gio Zagal and stats were kept by Courtney Finch and Irene Sanchez. Continued from page 1A CLASS Continued from page 1A PUBLIC
