@ Your Service

It’s that time of year again –-tax season! You might as well have the professionals handle it. Iris and Mack
Burnell of Jackson Hewitt Tax Service have been at this Barracks Row location since 1994, a constant fixture while
the area changed dramatically. The store is open year-round, but of course now is the time for longer hours. Iris
suggests that people come to them for not only tax preparation and to find possible tax remedies, but also for the
tools that Jackson Hewitt provides to get organized with their Tax Manager website. Iris, a DC native, is proud of
their strong sense of service. Coming soon: a new building façade!
Jackson Hewitt: Iris Burnell will get your taxes done!

Sig Cohen and his colleague Judge (ret.) Carolyn Miller Parr apply their extensive mediation
skills to helping family members resolve challenging intergenerational differences, often concerning end of life planning, change of residence, and legacy matters. As trained elder mediators they
serve as neutral third parties, working with family members to reach mutually acceptable outcomes of family disputes. They also train counselors and geriatric social workers to resolve difficult
intra-family disagreements. Tough Conversations specializes in helping families prepare for and
engage in dialogue using what they call “compassionate communication” skills. Check them out
at www.toughconversations.net. Their blog explores how we can all achieve lasting and peaceful
resolution with conversations we usually prefer to avoid, but need to have.
