ONU students to help with tax preparation

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, February 5, 2016

Taxpayers in Hardin and surrounding counties can find free income tax assistance from Ohio Northern University business students through Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA).

The VITA Program offers free tax help to low- to moderate-income (generally $54,000 and below) individuals across the country who cannot prepare tax returns on their own.

As part of this program, ONU students receive training and become IRS-certified to help prepare basic and intermediate tax returns and identify special credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Child Tax Credit and Credit for the Elderly.

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, February 4, 2016

Julia and Noah Leonard sample some chocolate desserts at the Ada Public Library on Wednesday evening. The library's annual chocolate bake-off was a grand success. Everything for the sweet tooth was available from mochi, a Japanese concoction, to healthy peanut butter cup. How could something so delicious be called healthy? The rich dessert is gluten free and contains all natural ingredients as well as local maple syrup. It's vegan, too. Time to gorge...in a healthy way, of course. (Monty Siekerman photo)
