DECATUR

Haney publishes a book

By DENNY DEADY
Jennifer Haney has accomplished much
in her 34 years and Saturday’s book signing
party represents one more step in reaching
her lofty goals.
Haney, a Decatur resident and
single mother of two girls, will host
a book release party at 7 p.m. Sat-
urday, Jan. 17, at Armondos Mexi-
can Restaurant on U.S. 81/287 in
Decatur, to promote her first pub-
lished book, “Divorce Handbook,
How to Get a Divorce Without Los-
ing Your A**.”
Fifteen divorces within her fam-
ily, including her own, prompted
Haney to write the book. She says
it’s not a “how to” book, but rather a per-
sonal plan, a life plan if you will.
“You’ve got to take care of yourself,” when
going through a divorce,” Haney said. “You
can’t fill anyone else if your cup is dry.”
Continuing, she said the book is, “about
value – true value, about not losing your-
self.”
She said when her mom was going through
her divorce, she tried to take care of every-
one else, neglecting herself.
Her mom is the reason she is donating a
portion of all book sales to the Wise Hope
Shelter and Crisis Center and why the book
signing party is a benefit for the shelter.
“I didn’t have an abusive relationship but
my mom did and at the time, there was no
shelter available,” Haney said.
Haney is asking that guests bring new
items to the party that can be donated to
the shelter, like gift cards, toiletries, laun-
dry supplies, date books, makeup, umbrel-
las, children’s movies and food.
Family is important to Haney and they
have greatly influenced her writing.
She has written a children’s book, in honor
of her daughters, Amellia Hurtado, 10, and
Sarah Hurtado, 9. Her grandmother, Joann
Manning, taught her how to tell a story.
Haney’s publisher is Publish America,
and even though the company mis-
spelled the title on the cover of the
book, she is happy with the results.
She takes the mishap with the
same goodnatured attitude that
has carried her through the rough
times in her life.
Writing has always been Haney’s
passion. As a third grader, she re-
ceived national recognition for her
writing. Today, she keeps three
HANEY journals – one for her eyes only, one
that it would be OK for someone to
pick up and read and a third with ideas for
other books she wants to write.
After growing up in Chico, Haney moved to
Austin and graduated from Westlake High
School. She later graduated from Weather-
ford College and is now two semesters away
from a bachelor’s degree in journalism at the
University of North Texas. In between, she
honed her writing skills during two years at
the Bridgeport Index.
She is already working on two other books,
one that she hopes will help people under-
stand bipolar disorder and help them deal
with people, like herself, who have the con-
dition. The other book, “Cantina Diaries,”
comes from her observations while working
at Armondos.
With the release of her first book, she is
giving up her job at Armondo’s but keeping
her day job at B’Grand on the square in De-
catur, where the book will be sold.
“I never thought I would be able to sup-
port myself with my talent but now I see
that I can,” Haney said.

FEEDING AN INFANT
Breastfeeding is a natural way to
feed a baby. Beside nourishment,
breastfeeding also provides a baby
with immunity against infections caused
by many viruses. Breastfeeding gives
mother and baby a chance to bond.
A genuine desire to breastfeed is
important for success. However, if a
mother is unable to breastfeed or is
opposed to breastfeeding, formula is
perfectly acceptable. Formula should
be mixed carefully as directed. In
many communities, using tap water to

Good shooting in the first

ing.

THE COUNSELING CORNER

Resolving to make better New Year’s resolutions
By THE AMERICAN
COUNSELING
ASSOCIATION
Want to make some New
Year’s resolutions this year
that you actually might
keep? It really isn’t that dif-
ficult and it pays benefits.
Resolutions usually mean
positive changes, and well-
made resolutions help avoid
the problems that come with
poor resolutions quickly bro-
ken.
While a broken New
Year’s resolution might not
seem very important, for
some people it actually can
be. From a mental health
perspective, broken resolu-
tions are sometimes harm-
ful because they can have us
seeing ourselves as failures,
falling short of our goals. A
broken New Year’s resolu-
tion is another example of
how weak we are, helping
to erode self-confidence and
self-esteem.
That doesn’t mean you
shouldn’t make New Year’s
resolutions. They offer a
wonderful opportunity to
examine where you are and
to set goals for the things
you’d like to change.
The most important ele-
ment for good resolutions
is to make them realistic.
You’re not going to lose 25
pounds by the end of Janu-
ary or immediately look like
an Olympic athlete if it’s
been years since you’ve been
near the gym.
One way to make suc-
cessful resolutions is to set
realistic mileposts. That
means breaking big tasks
into smaller, more manage-
able units. If you’re resolv-
ing to lose weight, forget the
number of pounds you want
to shed and instead focus on
moving to a healthier diet
that will naturally lead to
weight loss. Maybe your
first mini-goal is to cut out
one high calorie food each
day or week and to replace
it with a healthier fruit or
vegetable.
If your resolution is to ex-
ercise more, start slowly with
an initial goal, say walking
15 minutes each day, that
you know you can achieve.
Similarly, if it’s smoking
that you want to stop, maybe
your first goal is to cut by 10
percent the number of ciga-
rettes you smoke each day,
or to contact your doctor or
local hospital to learn about
smoking cessation programs
and stop-smoking aids.
When you create realistic
resolutions with attainable
mini-goals, what you’re re-
ally doing is developing
a plan to reach your final
goal. Attainable mini-goals
toward that bigger overall
target are a way to ensure
success, to focus on posi-
tive behavioral changes and
to feel good about the suc-
cesses you’re achieving.
This all adds up to positive
reinforcement that will help
keep you going and increase
your chances for successful-
ly fulfilling that resolution.

Enjoy one-year ‘holiday’ from required minimum distributions
Although it sounds
strange, you may encoun-
ter situations in which you
have to accept money even if
you’d rather not. Such is the
case with required minimum
distributions (RMDs) from
your traditional IRA, 401(k)
or other employer-sponsored
retirement plan. But thanks
to recent legislation, you can
ignore the “required” part of
RMDs — at least for a year.
Specifically, lawmak-
ers recently placed a one-
year moratorium on taking
(RMDs) for 2009. If you’re
not familiar with the rules
governing RMDs, here’s a
little background: Generally,
the IRS requires you to begin
taking RMDs in the year in
which you turn 70-1/2, or no
later than April 1 of the fol-
lowing year. For example, if
you turn 70-1/2 in 2009, you
would normally be required
to take your first RMD by
April 1, 2010. You must also
think about RMDs if you
are a beneficiary of someone
else’s IRA, 401(k) or other
retirement account, because
when the account owner
dies, regardless of age, you
must generally begin taking
RMDs. And this is also true
if you are the beneficiary
of a Roth IRA, even though
Roth IRA owners are never
required to take RMDs.
But thanks to the new
legislation, you can skip the
required 2009 distribution if
SUDOKU SOLUTIONS
FINANCIAL FOCUS
you reach 70-1/2 in 2009 or if
you’re a beneficiary currently
required to take RMDs. You
also have until Dec. 31, 2010,
to accept the 2010 RMD,
which will be based on your
retirement account balance
at the end of 2009.
Why did Congress decide
to provide this RMD “holi-
day” for 2009? For the an-
swer, you need look no far-
ther than your IRA or 401(k)
account balance. As you are
well aware, 2008 was not a
stellar year for the stock mar-
ket. Consequently, as 2008
drew to a close, the market
value of your IRA or 401(k)
was probably considerably
lower than it was in earlier
years. This could have been a
problem for you if you had to
start taking RMDs in 2009,
because these distributions
are based, in part, on your
account balance at the close
of the previous year — which
means you may well have
had to sell some stocks or
other investments in your
retirement plan when their
price was down. To help peo-
ple avoid having to “sell low,”
Congress acted.
Ultimately, you will have
to end up taking distribu-
tions again. But before that
happens, take some time to
decide how large a distribu-
tion you should accept each
year. If you need the money,
you might have to take out
more than the RMD. But if
you can get by on just the
minimum distribution, you
may want to do so, thereby
keeping as much of your re-
tirement account as possible
in a tax-deferred account.

Bride Groom & Bridal Guide 2009

If you have a service or product

that is obvious to the planning of a
wedding, such as tuxedo rental, gown
sales, gift registry, florist, bakery,
jeweler or travel agency, you’ll
want to be in the Bridal Guide.
But think past the ceremony and
honeymoon. The couple will need
a car, a bank, a doctor, a financial
planner, furniture, appliances, cell
phones, televisions, a home or
apartment...the list goes on and on.

Whatever your product or service,

think how it can be of use to a couple
just beginning their lives together.

You’ve got until Jan. 14

to say ‘I will’.
Any of our unofficial
’wedding planners’,
Lori, Michelle, Denise or Lisa
will help you put together
the perfect ad for the

By CLAIRE CURRY
It’s a cardinal time of year.
Cardinals are everywhere
outside: in the woods, in
the brush and in our yards.
Plus, they are a popular bird
on greeting cards this time
of year. There’s nothing like
a bright red cardinal on a
snowy landscape.
Only the adult male car-
dinal is bright red. There
is a black area around the
brown eyes and large, bright
orange beak. Females have
the same crest and massive
seed-cracking beak, but are
colored in modest but lovely
shades of brown with red ac-
cents on the wings and tail.
In summer and early fall
you will also see juvenile
cardinals begging from their
parents. They have the same
brown coloration as females,
but have dark gray beaks
that gradually turn orange.
If you see a bald cardinal,
don’t be alarmed. In late
summer this happens quite
a bit. It is not known for
sure why this happens, but
it mostly likely that they
just molted all their head
feathers at once. It is also
possible that they have an
infestation of mites and this
is their way of getting rid
of them from their hard-to-
scratch head feathers. This
can happen to other birds
too, such as grackles or jays.
Another funny thing that
cardinals do is attack their
reflection in windows and
car mirrors. Both males
and females will attack
what looks to them like an
intruder on their territory.
They never seem to figure
out that the bird in the mir-
ror never quits. You can try
covering up the reflection or
scaring them away, but usu-
ally they just keep coming
back. Eventually they lose
the urge to fight their untir-
BIRDS
ing rivals.
A pair of cardinals can
have up to four successful
broods per season. Some-
times the pair stays togeth-
er through the winter, while
others pair up in winter
flocks. Some may keep the
same mate over the whole
season or find a new partner
between nesting attempts.
You may have seen the car-
dinals’ cute courtship dis-
play. The male cracks a seed
and then feeds it to the fe-
male of his choice.
Once the birds are paired,
they build a nest of twigs,
leaves, and grasses. The fe-
male incubates up to five
speckled eggs for less than
two weeks. Both parents
feed the young for one or
two weeks before fledging
and then for several weeks

NORTHERN CARDINAL
after fledging. The male
brings food to the female
during incubation and after
the nestlings hatch. Appar-
ently, parents with brighter
colors are better providers
for their young.
Our cardinal is called the
Northern Cardinal because
it is the only cardinal species
in the northern hemisphere.
In southern hemisphere
there are several more spe-
cies, such as the Vermilion
Cardinal. Cardinals are
found over most of the east-
ern United States and Mexi-
co and in the southwest. Out
west you won’t find any car-
dinals. Cardinals have also
been introduced into Califor-
nia, Hawaii, and Bermuda.
There are many subspecies
of the cardinal, but the dif-
ferences in the shade of red,

an English as a Second Language assistant
in Decatur’s Carson Elementary for some
time now, and she’s working just as hard
now at the WC Education Center at

“I want to become an elementary school

everyone here at WC is so helpful. If
they don’t know the answers, they find
